Who that walked the deserted and gloomy
river front during the scorching days of the
past summer would have had on imagination
powerful enough to contrast its dosolated ap-
pearancc then with tho hustle and activity
which now prevails there?
Attic present time the wharves are crowded
from Jackson street to the lowest limits of the
Third District with every kind and style of
boat architecture known to the civilized world

WHO STOLE STEWARDS BODY!
Terrible Evidence Against Three Prom
lnent New Workers,
Toll City Derripk~,

This is an age of surprises. We very much
regret to say j., but we have evidence In our
possession which points strongly to Whtelaw
laed. Rev; Talmagge and George Francis Train
as the vioatOrs Of Mr.. Stewards grave. It Is
hard to think of these gentlemen, who have
heretofore occupied such high positions Ia
social and literary circles, as ghOuls, grave
robbers and human hyenas, and yet the evil
denCe against them cannot well be set aside.
For instance on the night of tho outrage Mr..
Talmage left home at the usual hour, about
half-past 10, informing his wife that he was
going over to New York to pick I'D q few facts
that this thing was getting o trife thin, or
something to that effect but finally gave her
consent and Mr.. Talmage went off, whistling
80, I'm One Of the Boys Myself" His hour
for returning from these nocturnal excursions,
Mrs Talmage states, is about u. III. Did
the gentleman return at that hour on the fatal
morning He did not He did not get home
until after daylight. Perhaps the gentleman
can account for his strange hardness on this
morning OF all mornings, and VIC know of no
better place for him to do this than in the
open court.
Now for Mr. Train. spade was undoubt-
odly used to remove the earth from the casket
that held the remains Now observe. One
week before Mr.. Stewards remains were
stolen Mr. Train stepped into a hardware
store In New York and purchased q short
handled spade, telling the salesman he would
call on the following Saturday and pay for 1t.

business, but Mr.. Train pulled out pocket
blackboard, and showed him that the age had
evoluted beyond the cash system, and in
timated that If he was not permitted to pur-
chase the spade on true business principles
he would cut the psychologist wire between
the establishment and its patrons, and it
would certainly shoot the Niagara Of bank
ruptcy before sunset the next day. He was
permitted to take the spade. AS If additional
evidence were needed against NJ r. Train, our
attention has been called to the fact that on
the day before the CHASTITY robbery he was
seen sitting on his accustomed bench In Mad
ison Square, and was heard to repeat the
following lines from the graveyard scene in
