Grave or Bank Robbers-Which2
New York, Nov. 16.--Henry Vreland,
alias Henry Burke, and Henry whalen,
were arraigned to-day by the police on
some charge not made public. Judge
Morgan said to the reporters: IT have
received important and valuable infor-
nation enough to justify me in holding
them, but beyond this cannot say any
thing more, as it would not be doing
justice to the police, and moreover, |
could not conscientiously do it. The
counsel for prisoners said he could not
tell whether they vera charged with the
robbery Of Stewards grave or the, Man
haitian savings bank, but the latter was
the general impression
Police Williams said to reporter
to-day: l don't know anything of any
arrests whatever having been made in
in the Stewart case. II, there is any
arrest 1 assure you on my honor that
know nothing of it. The men who get
up the sensational stories for the morn
ing papers know absolutely nothing
about the case.
Captain Byrnes, Of the police station
where the men are confined, refused to
say whether they were arrested for
stealing Stewards body, but said how
ever that there were no prisoners in his
station house for bank robbery.
Two women came to the station house
with bundles for the prisoners and then
left. The women were shadowed by
police officers. 1t was learned that a
Mrs. Wright lived on the top floor of
402 east 18th street, with whom per-
son named Baker had been living for
some time past. Her husband is in Jail
for passing counterfeit money. Baker
was not at home but Mrs. Wright her
self was encountered, who proved to be
one of the women who visited the sta
tion house.
1t turned out by her admission that
Baker was Whalen, one of the prison.
ers, and that Burke, the other prisoner,
was her brother. Whalen was arrested
on Thursday for completely in the
Stewart robbery, and Burke was taken
on Tuesday night at his morther's
house, 100 East Fortieth street. To-
day the police ransacked Mrs. Wright's
rooms, and seized all her papers and
some belonging to her brother, Burke.
She said both men men were specula-
tors and crooked.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

Considerable interest attaches to the
vote for president in 1880, since the
tendency of the north is seen to unite
solidly against politically menacing
south. Indiana and Oregon are to-day
the only democratic states north of Ma
son and Dixon's line. California will not
vote until September, '79 and of course
it cannot yet be assigned place in
either party. However the republicans
can concede California's six electoral
votes to the democrats and still have
enough left to elect republican presi-
dent, as the following table of electoral
votes shows:

DE LA MATYR, the greenback rev.

interest. He carries his state vote in
his pocket on the question of electing
president by the house of representa-

he would vote with the democracy
all all purely party matters. Now a
brother who holds an Office in WASH

the republicans, except on financial
questions,

New York, Nov. 16.-The Tribune's
editorial on its Washington dispatches,
says: A democratic estimate of the
formation of the Forty-sixth house,
made by the friends of Speaker Ran
dali, claims plurality Of nineteen over
the republicans and majority of four
teen over all. This result is reached
by locating the greenback members ac-
cording.to previous party predictions,
together with the Enthusiastically
democratic process Of assuming that in
every contested case the seat will be
awarded to the claimant.

Causes of Yellow Fever.

New York, Nov. 16.-The report of
the medical commission which recently
visited the South to investigate the
origin and causes Of yellow fever, will
be made next week. 1t presents a
startling array of facts sustaining the
theory that this epidemic traces in the
path of commerce, and is always i'm
ported by means of infected ships, per-
sons, freight or clothing. Also, that
the conditions for its spread are low
lands and fermenting filth. The gen.
eral conclusions reached are that its
original introduction may be prevented
by thorough quarantining and fumigat-
ing Of all arrivals from infected ports.

A TwO.Minute TrOtter.

Mr.. Bonner never allowed Dexter to
trot in a race after he purchased "the
king of the turf" and it is not likely
that he could have added anything to
his laurels if he had been allowed to
make another public trial. Goldsmith
Maid, Rarus, Hopeful, Great Eastern,
and several other fast horses have beat
en- Dexter's best time. Now however,
Mr.. Bonner has purchased Edwin For
rest for $16,O 900, which is said TO be the
most remarkable trotter in the world.
He trotted at Hartford in 2:l4I. The
theory of many horsemen that the
fastest horse would be large horse is
sustained by this early performance Of
Forrest. He is sixteen hands high. AT
the same time he is handsome and well
proportional. Some things which
would seem extravagant about any
horse are said about the performances
of Forrest, and yet old trotting men
tell us they are perfectly true. For
instance, so careful paper as the
Spirit Of the Times, in an account OF
FORESTS trotting at Hartford, says OF
one quarter: If ever a twO-minute
gait was struck by trotter, it was by
Edwin Forrest during this quarter

To Turn Oak Black.

The Peme Industrils states that oak
may be dyed black, and made to re-
semble ebony, by the following means.
Immerse the wood for forty-eight hours
in hot saturated solution of alum,
and then brush it over with a logwood
decoction, as follows: Boil one part Of
best logwood with ten parts of water,
filter through linen. and evaporate at a
gentle heat until the volume is reduced
one half. To every quart Of this add
from 10 to Is drops of saturated neu-
trail solution of indigo. After applying
this dye to the wood. rub the latter with
saturated and filtered solution OF
verdigris in hot concentrated acetic
acid, and repeat the operation until a
black Of the desired intensity is OBJ
tanned. Oak stained in this manner is
said to be close as well as a splendid
imitation ofebony.

How Diphtheria Was Spread.
st. Adams (Vt.) Messenger.


A few weeks ago little girl in st.
Adams, who had just recovered from
diphtheria. was taken by her parents to
visit family in neiehboring town.
She slept with the children in that fam
lily, and shortly after three or four of
them were taken with the malady and
some have since died. The family per-
mitted relatives and neighbors to visit
them, and the result Is several cases in
the neighborhood. They had public
funerals, even keeping the remains of
one child an unusual time, waiting for
another to die, 80 as to bury them to-
gether; and this also spread the conta-
gion. The physician was not powerful
ly impressed-as some physicians are
not-with the contagious character OF
the disease; therefore, he did not take
the necessary precautions for the pro-
lection of the neighborhOod or Of his
own family, and the result is that one
of mis- own children has died and another
is dangerously i'll. A lady who went to
one of these houses to robe the victims
for the grave has called at houses in
the vicinity where there are children.
without any change Of her garments or
any attempt mt disinfection, and has
fondled the children in those families,
apparently in utter ignorance of the
danger to which she was exposing them.
