WHEN

We are asked a dozen times a day
when WILL this suspense end? When
WILL it be known who ii to be our Presi
dent?
We can answer thus far not before the
first of next week-perhaps not for
weeks yet. The official count will be
commenced in South Carolina on Thurs
day of this week, and in Louisiana on
Friday. 1t may take days-perhaps
weeks, to get in the testimony as to
frauds and violence in those States, and
then to pass upon the evidence. If, al
any time, any one of these States in dis
pute shall be legally decided to have vo
ted for Tilden, that will settle it; but il
they come in one at time for Hayes,
we will all have to wait for the last one
of these States.

A lot of drunken, crazy Democrats,
made both day and night hideous from
Tuesday night to Friday afternoon. AT
eleven o'clock on Friday Mr.. Chapman
received a dispatch from the notorious
John G. Thompson of Columbus, stating
most positively that Tilden had carried
ALL the rebel States, and had 203 electo.
raj votes SURE
At three on the same day, almost
without hope, we telegraphed to the Gin
cinnati Times office, as there any hope
for Hayes y Before six we received an
answer from Hon. Benjamin Eggleston,
"All is well. Hayes is elected Grant
has sent troops to Florida and Louisiana
to protect canvassers"
DR.. A. B. Monahen received similar
dispatch from Mr.. Wikoff short time
before we received ours. Then the
Hayes boys made good deal of noise,
when the Democrats suddenly discovered
that there were sick persons in town, and
that such bowling was improper.
Since Friday night our town has been
quiet.

GRANT STEPS IN.

With all the ruffianism and terrorism
in the rebel States, the Democracy was
not satisfied, and was about to dispatch
several rebels to Florida and Louisiana
TO mix in and meddle with the returns.
Among these rebels, to be sent South
were Beck and Watterson Of Kentucky
On Friday afternoon the following
timely orders passed over the wires:
"PHILADELPHIA, November TO-
Gen. w. L. Sherman, Washington, ID. G !:
Instruct Gen. Augur, IN Louisiana
and Gen. Ruger, in Florida, to be vigi-
liant with the forces at their command,
to preserve peace and good order, and to
see that the proper and legal Boards of
Canvassers are unmolested in the per-
Torrance OF their duties. Should there
be any ground of suspicion of fraudulent
count of either side, it should be report
ed and denounced at once. No man
worthy of the Office of President should
be willing TO hold it if counted in or
placed there by fraud. Either party can
afford to be disappointed in the result,
bat the country cannot afford 10 have
the result tainted by suspicion of illegal
or false returns.
[signed] ~. S. GRANT"
PHILADELPHIA, November TO-
Gen. Sherman, Washington, d. c.:
Send all the troops to Gen. Augur he
may deem necessary to insure quiet and
a peaceable count OF the ballots actually
cast They may be taken from South
Carolina, unless there is reason to sus-
pect an outbreak there. The presence
of citizens from other States, under
stand, is requested in Louisiana to see
that the Board of Canvassers make fair
count of the vote actually cast. 1t is to
be hoped that representative and fair
men of both parties will go.
lSigned ~. S. GRANT"
No man who is not scoundrel at
heart, could object to these orders. But
at once the Democratic papers raise a
howl. They know that fair election
has not been held. and the truth, and
fair play, are what they most dread

LINCOLN's TOMB DIsHONORED.
An Attempt to Steal His Bones.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov. {.
A most dastardly attempt was made
last night, to steal the bones of Presi-
dent Lincoln from the cemetery vault
here. The plot was suspected some time
since, and Elmer Washburn, United
States Detective Tyrrell, and assistants
watched the vault. Last night the
scoundrels broke i'm the outer and inner
doors of the vault, opened the several
cases OF sarcophagus and were about to
make off with the remains. when the de-
tectives sprang out The accidental dis
sharge of pistol alarmed the robbers,
and they fled precipitately, ecaping in
the darkness A slight clue to their
identity remains, and their capture is
probable.

Some persons have been fearing troub.
le over the Presidential election, and
the Democrats have been consoling
themselves with the idea that their rebel
House of Representatives could come TO
their rescue, should Hayes be elected.
On this question the Cincinnati Times
says:
COUNTING THE ELECTORAL yOTE-wILL THERE
BE ANY TROUBLE?
If the Cincinnati Commercial were de
liberately desirous Of creating a panic
and a revolution, il could not set about
thereto in a more business

The return of the English Polar Ex-
pedition is not an ordinary failure of an
ordinary enterprise. It means that the
very utmost resources of man can not
insure him passage to the North Pole.
Other explorers had pushed their sledges
to within five hundred miles of the
earth's axis of revolution, and the Eng
lish authorities bent themselves, with
extraordinary diligence and determine
ton, to the one task of overcoming this
apparently short distance. The loss Of
four lives seem to prove that the SIREN
uous exertions expected were made !;
but in spite of the elaborate system of
carrier sledges which enabled one par
ty to be out seventy days it did not get
further, or much further, than Hall and
other explorers. One mile day could
be comprised, and that only by the Sc
verest exertions. The greatest cold
known, 102 deg, was felt; the ice was
found to be very much broken and
rough; there was no sign of land, or OF
an open sea, and the attempt was COM
pletely failure. 1t was even more
than this, for it has demonstrated that
other projects of the kind must also be
failures. We are now thrown back up
on Payer and Weyprecht's suggestion
to establish ring of permanent sta
tions within the Arctic circle for scien-
tific observation. The knowledge thus
gained, combined with the ability to
seize with certainty upon favorable
years, may yet carry the navigator to
the pole.

A Massachusetts Romance.

The Worcester Gazette tells the fol-
lowing story: Some five years ago
party by the name of Squires held a
position in the Inman steamers, and had
arranged for his wife to 60 10 Europe.
About half an hour before the steamer
sailed, Squires rushed on board the
steamer and inquired for lot of stores
which he had ordered; not finding
them, he said he would 60 up to ware
house and inquire about them. The
hour for the departure of the steamer
arrived, but no Squires. The steamer
was held for more than an hour, when
it was discovered that not only John
Squires, but the stewardess, Sarah
Jane Smith, was also missing; and that
was taken as the solution OF the case,
and the steamer sailed. After the ar
rival at Liverpool, Mrs. Squires received
letter with money enclosed, stating
that the child which was left on this
side was well cared for, and that he
had drowned his sorrow in drink; five
years rolled on, and she heard from
him several times. At last she heard
he was in this city living with the
stewardess, and that they had her
daughter, and that two children had
been the fruit of the elopement. The
proprietors of the Inman Line became
interested in the case, and helped Mrs.
Squires to passage to New York and
Worcester. She arrived here yester-
day morning with an agent of tho
Adams Express Company, and through
them the case was presented to City
Marshal Washburn, and resulted in
verdict for the arrest of Squires, alias
Craig, and the stewardess. They were
found in house on Canterbury Street,
and were arrested, and yesterday after
noon, at a special session of the Gem
trail District Court, they were arriagned
for adultery, and held in $1,000 and
$500 bonds for their appearance at the
January term of the Superior Court. At
the house the daughter of Mrs. Squires
was found, and the meeting of mother
and child can be better imagined than
described. They returned to New York
on the boat train.

A Horrible Plot.

For several days past, says the Mem
phis appeal, there has been loafng
around Covington, up in Upton Coun-
ty, man named j. H. Goat, said to be
a street-car driver of this city, and
son-in-law of Mr.. Manlius Carr, of that
vicinity. On Saturday evening last,
Mr.. Goat managed to ingratiate him
self into the confidence of Willard Dob
son, young man of some 10 or 20
summers, from the vicinity of Garland,
and who, from q too frequent indul-
gence in bad whisky, had rendered
himself incapable of self-preservation.
This human fiend took the young man
in charge and proposed to carry him
home, but, instead of taking the road
toward Garland, went up the railroad
track few hundred yards, and then,
after robbing him of what little change
he had with him, and stripping him of
an almost new coat and vest, placed
the unconscious form of the boy on the
track, and left him a helpless victim
to destruction by the evening train,
Tue in few moments. At this point
is located the water-tsnk of the railroad,
and near there lives Mr.. Anderson, the
blind attendant of the tank, and his
wife. A moment or two before the ar
rival of the train Mrs. Anderson
CHANGED to discover the situation of the
young man, and with the assistance of
lady neighbor, who was visiting her
that night, rushed forth in the darkness
of the night and dragged the body from
the track Just as the train came thun-
dering by. Goat is a man about 81
years of age, 5 feet II or ~ inches in
height. A full description of him and
his schemes, however, has been for
warded to the police authorities here
by Mr.. Roberts, the officer at Coving-
ton, and his arrest can not fail to fol=
low soon, !.

| RECOVERING THE BODIES.
At 2 o'clock lis bodies had been re
covered, and there are probably a.
many more within the ruins. Some
persons assert that none in the uppel
gallery of the theater escaped. Tht
last man that left the stairs before they
fell says that behind him was helpless
half-suffocated crowd.
On Washington Street line of horses
and wagons were ready to remove the
bodies. Great crowds of persons were
gathered in the neighborhood of the
Morgue to identify missing relatives and
friends, and their lamentations are tru-
ly pitiful. It required force of police
to keep them from crowding over each
other.
The Morgue is completely filed, and
bodies are now carried to the old mar
ket kailding in Adams Street. They
can not be recognized.
HORROR UPON HORROR
accumulated as the day advanced.
Corpse after corpse charred and black
ened was passed out and still the pile
of bodies in the cellar did not seem to
diminish. As the number mounted up
to $50 and 16O, the belief that the num-
Der would reach over 200 grew into a
certainty, and finally at half past four
the two hundredth body was removed.
Some were found with limbs and hands
burned off, and nothing left but ghast-
ly, blackened trunk. At 5 o'clock the
number had reached 220-20 bodies be-
ing taken out in half an hour. "A look
into the pit at this. time still, showed a
considerable pile of corpses lying cross
wise like sticks of wood, and there were
apparently still SO or 60 corpses re-
manning. This was in the cellar under
the inner vestibule from where all the
bodies taken out to-day were removed.
They lay in pile apparently where
they had been pitched into the cellar
when the floor and stairway gave way.
EXTENT OF THE DISASTER.
At a late hour tonight 285 bodies had
been recovered. ~
The Times says Fire Marshal Ready,
who has made an exhaustive examine
ton of the circumstances attending the
fire, is of the opinion that at least $50
persons persisted in the flames.
PUBLIC CONSIDERATION.
The courts adjourned this morning
without transacting any business. There
is intense excitement in the city and
business partially suspended.
The Park Theater has been closed for
the week. A meeting Of the theatrical
profession has been called for Thursday
10 concert measures for relief.

Rules for Eating.

It will be relief to some persons to
know that the distinguished physiolo-
gist, DIR. Austin Flint, does not believe
in the old rule, ssRise from the table
before the hunger is fully satisfied"
The maxim, according to him, is very
erroneous. 1t had been said we must
" eat to live and not live to eat.n But
alimentation is more than necessity;
we must eat for something more than
life-mere existence. We must eat to
secure the full advantages of health
both of body and mind. The child Of
ten consumes more food than the adult
man; the indolent more than the active
worker. The average quantity required
at any age can not be q standard for
any individual. There are two sources
of practical knowledge in regard to
food-one is the instinct implanted in
the individual, the second is the indi-
vidual experience. OF the two the first
is the more trustworthy. Extreme
hunger denotes an abnormal condition,
while appetite denotes normal man.
Hesitation of the needs of the system.
The complete requirements of health
are that the desire for food be needed
without delay, and that this desire
be fully satisfied. The maxim
that one should arise from the table
with good appetite is full
of error. Another prevalent
error is that food should not be taken
except at certain fixed times. The con-
ditions of perfect health are: First, a
sufficient appetite; second, the gratifi-
cation of normal appetite before the
want of food reaches the abnormal de-
gree expressed by hunger; third, the
satisfaction of appetite by a proper
amount of food. DIR. Flint referred to
the necessity of good cooking. He in
dorsed also the remark of a country
physician, 80 years old, who said: "I
have always eaten when wanted food,
and as much as l wanted, and the best
1 could get.' A great many dyspep-
tics have been made by attending lee
lures on health. 1t was a popular error
to suppose that the chief end of man is
TO watch the progress of digestion.
From four to six hours only should
elapse between each meal. Some
writer has said, The stomach is like
a schoolboy-if not kept well occupied,
it is apt to be in mischief"
