Nothing has been discovered of the

though the police have been very ac-Ive n
the search. Il was learned OI. Thursday
that tie robbery of Mr.. S;ewart's tomb
had been attempted a moith before, ami

morning Of October : 1t was discovered hat

been dug up u dep of several feet. Il
was evident that thieves had made au at

had been prevented through their ign0r-
ance of the entrance. The fay stoue was
not over the entrance, as they supposed,
buJ was situated several feet away. The
occurrence was reported To Judge Hilton.
and consultation was hai as 10 The best
means of guarding the ya1it against grave
robbers. The stone which marked The
position Of The vault was placed few feet
further 10 the south, and a watchulau was
engaged to patrol the street near the
churchyard at night This watchman was
discharged a few days ago.
The police express the opinion that the
robbery bad required Ihe combined efforts
OF several adIoit aud daring thieves Ii
needed at least three men To- enter the
vault and move the body. Another man
WAS needed To take care Of horse and
wagon and To be aH hand when required.
Two others doubtless, guarded th5 en-
trance and kept a sharp look ont fsr f'se
approach of a policeman. The thieves
must have known The exact spot urdar
which the entrance to The tomb could be
found, and tins kuowledge they probably
gained by careful measurements. When
: all was ready they took advantage Of a
dark, stormy night, when few persons
were on the steetS, To enter the church
yard and despoil the tomb.

y GREAT DEAL Of surprise has naturally

The district is composed Of Centre, Clinton.

and is strongly Democratic, having given

the majority against Gov. Curtin is %

was the Green5ack candidate, vas endorsed
by the Republican party, and received
the combined vote OF both. Thus in Cen
t.e county his vote falls below the COM
biued vote Of Hoyt and Mason only 80,
while Curtin's vote was only 292 less than
DnIs, and in this way, although Dill had
a majority of 1,7GS in the county. Curtin
bad only 40. The same combined vote
was cast against Curtin in the other five
counties. Gov. Curtin vas not as a rule
cut by the Democrats. though a few Of
them refused to vote for him, and the
same united Greenback aud Republican
vote would as likely have defeated any
other candidate as i. did him. His nomi-
nation was 9 mistake. Whenever the
Democratic party passes by its own trust

editor of the Johnstown Tribune, after
getting down off the high horse he rode
during the campaign, would long and
keenly feel the sting of Gen. Coffroth's
election to Congress from this district
From the best of motives, no doubt, he was
completely wrapped up in the election of
Geu. Campbell, and regarded the defeat of
that gentleman as being entirely out of the
question As bis elevation on the Con-
gressional ladder was fearfully high, his
sudden fall has been eorrespOndingly dis
astIous. Realizing the full extent OF his
defeat, he is yet unable to shake from his
back that burden Of iniquity known as
William Lilly, who has been to him what
the old man Of the sea was to Sinbad, the
sailor, and he now modestly asks Gen.
Coffroth to court full and open inyestiga-
tion of the cadetship sale charge, or make
him (tbe edi:or) tie defendant in an ac-
tion for libel. We have been under the
impression all the time that y. II. Cof-
froth's alleged connection with the sale of
a naval cadetship, William Lilly acting as
broker, had heen very thoroughly investi-
gated and finally disposed Of. We may be
mistaken, but our recollection Of the mat
ter is not precisely such stuff as dreams are
made of.
But to be serious, we supposed that this
eadetship business, made exceptionally
conspicuous in the campaign by the Irt-
5uEe, was the very last thing its editor
would wish to pluck up by It's drowned
locks, to breath new life into it and de-
mand for it another investigation. Has it
not been Investigated by a tribunal selected
by tie editor himself-we mean the voters
of this Congressional district-aud haven't

( not the people Of Somerset county especial

whom he has spent all his life, and who
know him best, branded the charge, in
tones of thunder, as false and malicious
Their decree is as irreyocable as the laws
of the Medes and Persians, and from it
there can be no appeal. If the Tribune
and it's witness, William Lilly, have been
driven out of court as unworthy of belief,
they must bear the odium which always
attaches itself to wilful calnmny and false
hood. II, however, when Gen. Coffro:h
goes to Congress, Lilly can prevail on some
member Of that body who don know hiu
and his antecedents to start an investiga
tion, we presume that Gen. G. will meet i
there as he has met it here, and With cor

ALTHOUGH Hon. Il. Milton Speer, Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee,
did not succeed in organizing victory
to use military phrase, we have no doubt
at all that he exerted himself as vigorously
and intelligently in that direction as any
other Democrat in his place could possibly
have done, and the disparagiug criticisms
which we occasionally see in certain Dem
Osratic papers, to say nothing Of such rad
ical heavy weights as the Ebensburg Her
aid, on his mode of conducting the cams
paign are as puerile and ill-timed, as they
are undeserved. We never attached the
same importance to the Craftsmanship OF
State Committee that others do, nor do we
believe, as some persons seem to do, that
its incumbent can perform political mira
cles, There was a time before the con-
struction Of railroads, and especially be-
fore the invention of the telegraph, when
the chairman was a political power in the
State. This was notably the case in the
memorable campaign between Porter aad
Ritner in 1888, when the position was oc-
cupied by Daniel Sturgeon, whose address
es to the people of the State, signed with
his name, although written 10y Ovid f.
johnson, and which were uuequalled in
style and matter either before OF since,
found their way into every nook and cor
ner OF the commonwealth But that time
has passed away aud the work Of chair-
man now is a very different thing from
whas it was forty years ago. Mr.. SpeeI
could appeal 10 the people rs he did t.
smash The Cameron ring, but they needed
HIM not, and when he Summoned spirits
from the vastly deep" they refused tC
come. After all is said, the effective worl
Of campaign must be done by the Chair
men OF the County Committees, cores
ponding with and acting on the suggestion
and advice of the Chairman Of the Stat,
Committee. Mr. Speer took the most ou
; of the situation that was in ", and deserve
T the thanks of the Democracy OF the Stat
, for the honest efforts he made to command
what The cause certainly deserved, a fnI
measure of success.

SAD STORY OF NEW ORLEANS FAMILY
ONLY \ BABY LEFT AFTER THE
YELLOW FEVER sCOUEGE.

NEWPORT, r. l., November "a sad
story of the recent yellow fever scUuree in
the south has just come to light. y few
evenings ago well dressed babe, about
one year old, was left at the doorstep Of a
we'll 10 do citizen, Mr.. Newcomb, of Pro-
vidence, who found it there upon answer
ing a sharp ring of the door bell. 1t had a
tiny gold ring on It's finger and gold
necklace with gold dollar attached
around its neck. By the side OF the infant
IA girl was a complete outfit OF richly trim
med clothes 4 letter was also found, in
which the heart broken mother who had
left it there stated that she had lost her
father, mother, brother, husband and three
children by yellow fever IN New Orleans,
and that she fled to Cairo to escape tho
plague, with her baby that both were at
tackled with the fever in that place aud re-
covered, though the writer felt as IL ough
sue was losing her memory, and, DO doubt,
would soon be a raving m Iniac. 1t appear
ed she had known Mr.. Newcomb and his
family, and in the letter she stated that,
fearing she would lose her identity, she
had made up her mind to give them her
babe, as she knew they would be good to
it. She urged them not to look her up, as
she was going to New York, on the mid
night train, ''there to die unknown" She
( signed herself as Mrs. Josie Hall. Mr.
" .
known the lady's family, who, he said,
stood high in the south, Mrs. Hall being a
beautiful and accomplished lady a letter
was received from her the following day,
( dated Providence, she having written il
before leaving the city, which simply gave
| instructions foI the care of her offspring.
Two days after the receipt Of the letter a
telegram was received by Mr.. Newcomt
from Boston stating that Mrs. Hall was in
( a dying condition at hotel in that city
lie Immediately started for Boston and ar
rived in season to receive the dying wo
mans instructions. She begged bin to bt
good To her child and to send her body t,
/ New Orleans for inteTment. She left Somt
money to pay the funeral expenses, ais,
some for the care of the child. The re
mains were forwarded TO New Orleans.
\ letter received from the latter cit,
throws some additional light Oh the sad af
fair. Mis-. Hall, it appears, while derang
ed with grief, had fed from the city in lie
fathers carriage accompanied by the faith
full coachman, aud went to Cairo wher
the coachman died. After her arrival thel
her uncle and aunt also died. She immedi
ately left Cairo and fled north. The bah

At the late election, Philadelphia polled
10000 Republican votes, aud 81, OC0 Dem
ocratic votes. and returned 81 Republican
a.d ! Democratic members to the lower
branch ofthe Legislature. IN other words,
it required nearly 5000 Democratic voters
to elect one representative, while 5000 Re-
