ported that the body of A. I. Stew
art was taken to Canada and was
concealed there. The thieves who
demand a ransom of 100000 fol
the remains, have placed the matter
in the hands of a Montreal lawyer
and are negotiating through him.
As there is no treaty governing
cases of this kind, it will be impos,
sible to arrest the ghouls. Another
report says the body is hidden at or
near Shamong, Burlington county,
New Jersey, 40 miles southeast OF
Camden, and that the thieves can
be arrested at any moment.
Prof. Edison has ceased expert

periments with electric light in con-
sequence of i'll health.

New YORK, Nov. 15,-The
Times says that official permission is
given it to announce the discovery
of A. I. Stewards remains and
each robber. The evidence is near
ly complete to send each to prison,
ard the officers are ready to arrest
them, and are only awaiting the sig
nal. Names are not mentioned,
but some are highly respectable
one a prominent attorney. The
principal perpetrator is out of town,
but is shadowed. All the others
are in New York. Three sets
of detectives are engaged, one un-
der Chief Kealy, another under In
spector Murray, and the third un-
der Mr.. Hilton. All are concen-
trated on the same clews, the par
parties having been a different set
from ordinary robbers. The conspi
racy was arranged with great care.
Three persons hired a room, A
Stevant Place, a week before the
robbery. They had a big leather
trunk, which was taken in q
carriage On the morning of the rob-
berry, while three parties strolled off.
The body is believed to have been
taken to the church portico, thence
cross Tenth street fence to No.
10th; thence boxed and taken to
the Jersy City ferry; thence sent to
the interior of the State. The
exact location is known, says the
Times, was discovered several days,
but secrecy is kept to make sure of
arresting everyone and securing
the full punishment and making
examples. Money has been largely
spent. A prominent SOuthside
undertaken is supposed to be im>
plicated. Much credit is given the
regular police. The police author
tiles do not confirm the report of
the Times, and say neither they nor
Judge Helton know aught of the
robbers or location of the body.
1t is believed the police have un-
ravelled the mystery of the Man
haitian Savings Bank robbery. This
morning a man whose name appears
on the police returns as Henry
Vreland was arrested and arraigned
before the bar of Police Court,
when he was remanded to prison
until further evidence could be OBJ
tt. med. The police and also the
Judge are reticent on the subject at
present. The prisoner is described
as Henry Vreland, aged 25 years,
a native of the United States, and
a resident of Chauncy street,
Brooklyn. Vreland is said to be
