The latest startling sensation in New
York is the robbery of the grave of the late
Alexander T. Stewart The spoliation was dis
covered early in the morning, and the discov-
cry was quickly followed by the issue of orders
to the police of the city for diligent search of
every precinct for the lost body The object

less to obtain money for the return of the stolen
remains-an object not very likely to be real
lied, for the dead mans heirs declare that
they will rather pay thousands for hunting
down the ghouls than dollars in the way of
bribery. 1t appears that an attempt was made
to lind the grave month ago, but failed. The
robbers wasted some work in digging around
the slab supposed to cover the vault, and dis
covered that there was no grave under the
stone. They appear to have obtained better in
formation before making second attempt.
