porter.
"What do they say?" inquired
the inventor.
"That it is impossible. "
Well, wo will sce," was Mr..
EdisOu's smiling rejoinder, as he pre-.
pareG to go.
"Thcy say that the electric light
will not bear subdivision except at an
enormous sacrifice Of illumi mating
power, continued the reporter.
"Thcrc is no sacrifice of power 10
this discovery" answered tho inventor.

possible arc predicting on what they

The invention is new departure. l
believe that hayo succeeded beyond

terly bcfogged as to who pOrpetrated
the robbery.
Tho Su" says: Among all The
theories relative to this crime zone ia
more curious than that which attributes
it to tho agency Of certain disssppoint-
cd heirs, or so.calIGd heirs, Of Mr..

NEw YONK, November 7.-The
police headquarters vas informed TO-
day that tho body Of A. 7. Stewart
was stolen from the family vault u,
St, Marks Church. Inspector Dilks,
when informed Of the robbery, at once
sent out the following general order to
all the precincts:
"TLo remains Of A. 7. Stewart
were Inst night stolen from tho family
vault in St. SiaFk's Church yard.
The cask was found broken and tho
body removed The decomposition Of
the remains is so offensive Tint they
cannot be concealed. This is apparent
from standing ut tho opening Of the
vault this morning, consequently it
cant be taken across tho ferries with
out discovery. Cause diligcnt search
to be made in yOur precincts, as the
remuius were evidently stolen in hops
Of q reward
Early on tho morning Of October
7th, just mouth ugo, the Assistant
Sexton Of St. Marks Church discovered
tLa, Stewards family vault bad beeu
,ampered with. A stone slab had
been moved from its position aud the
Garth disturbed for several feet, As
the slab was not over the opening oil
the vault, the thieves did not get at
the body. Tho Sexton reported the
matter TO Judge Hilton, who ordered
that tho slab be placed few feet FROM
its true position in order to deceive
any one attempting to steal tho boly.
a wa,chmap was engaged, and hO
palrOlled the graveyard every night
until very recently.
The discovery Of tho outrage was
made this morning at s o'clock. The
robbers had removed one stOno FROM
the opening Of tue vault, broken open
the coffin III which the body was ca
cased. aud carried away tho contents,
it is supposed, in sack.
The robbery hus caused great ex'
cstemeut ia the neighbOrhood Of the
graveyard.
The robbers, probably Eve or six in
uumbpr. having entered the church
yuFd, proceeded to remove the earth
FROM the opening to The vault. This
was soon accomplished by tho aid Of
