RUMoRs ABOUT STEWARDS BODY.

THE STORY THAT Is TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURERS
OF SENSATIONAL sTORGEs-AN OLD THEORY
FROM new SOURCE.
The REORGANIZATION after three weeks de-
lay, Of the reported finding Of Mr. Stewards body and
the OF at four Of tho robbers by which
eral papers U this city deuded led the demand
the part OF the editors OF some OF them for the
authority OF the reporters for their statements They
uuhssltatingly gave the names of Judge Hilton, As
sstant DsTicAltOrney Horace Russell and Inspector
Dlks those OF their iBfornaUt-. On Saturday last
one Of these reporters nspcuuus I'm furnishing tho
false reports alluded to- publicly reiterated the
ment and added In detail, still giving Judge Hilton a.
authority that the body OF Mr. stewart found four
weeks ago and that II secreted by the agents
Of Judge Hilton. He claimed that 1t removed from
ST. Marks Churchyard at II minutes after O'clock
the morning OF tho day the robbery discovered. and
that tho robbers,ihve in number. precisely one
hour 10 accomplish their work According to asser-
tons, tho body forced into a sack, the head
and feet meeting After carrying 10 out OF the grave
yard. deposited In a covered wagon and driven
TO New-Jersey. In short time thereafter, this
vefaciOus reporter claims Judge Hilton informed
OF tho hidng-pacs OF the body aud the Of the
robbers. The next startling statement was that when
the robbers had made arrangements the body
a place. Judge Hilton informed OF IL
and he told disturb the men,
but 10 watch them and 10 keep strict guard the
new place OF burial. The further claim that the
body OF Mr. Stewart subsequently removed by the
agents Of judge Hilton and that Il IL hidden in
spot known only a few confidential friends Of Judge
Hilton. He added that Judge Hilton would not deny
these faCta"

Hilton said Friday: IL will stake my reputation aud

AN OLD THEORY FROM A NEW SOURCE

pastor Of the East Congregational Church at rhOmu-
kins-avc and Kosoiuskost. Brooklyn The council WAS
dissatisfied with the breyiY OF the Churcs creed but
after two weeks accented IT, The time was appointed
for the installation but owing 10 the sickness or the
Rev DIR. Noble, who to preach the Sermon the SER
vice postponed.
The Rev. Mr. Min presented his resignation, however,
In letter which read before tho church last Friday
night Mr.. Min refused TO maze any staiemcnt for
publication with reference TO his action, One OF the
members Of the church said ast night that the reason
asaIgned by Nlr Min that the church members
were not sufficiently united aud that the best interests
OF both church aud pastor would be subseryei by a
separation. He believed the resignation wOuld he ac-
cepted. As hr. Min has not been installed no council
