THE GRAVE ROBBERY.
No Clue to the Ghouls-$25, 900 Rewart
for the Recovery of the Bedy.

No Clue to the Ghouls-$25 900 Reward
for the Recovery of the Body.
New York, Nov. 8.-As the Stewart grave
robbers took away the vestments of the body
they are liable to punishment, if detected,
although the law does not seem to provide q
penalty for stealing body for blackmailing
purposes. Two years ago Mrs. Stewart receiv-
ed q letter demanding money under q threat
of Dissertation of her husbands grave. Mrs
Stewart is very i'll, and sank slowly yesterday
after having been told of the shocking crime.
Judge Hilton declares that he is absolutely
certain of recovering the remains and the ar
rest of the guilty parties within a short time.
He thinks it would be impossible to deceive
him about the body, as peculiar operations on
the teeth will make Identification easy. The
robbers took away the coffin plate and piece
of coffin lining, doubtless to possess proof of
correct identity of the body in case reward
was offered.
Judge Hilton offers $4,000 reward for the
return Of the body and conviction of the rob-
bsrs.

Oh Regulators.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 8.-There is great excite
ment throughout Darke county, Ohio, over
number of acts Of violence recently committed
upon residents. Some months ago man nam
ed Grier was murdered by the side Of his wife
at Palestine, by baud of regulators. After
wards man named Quackenbush was ordered
to leave, and did so. On the 9Th of June thirty
men went to the house of Steve White (color-
ed) and kidnapped his son William. They took
him to Winchester where he was convicted of
larceny and sentenced to year in the peniten-
tiary. he afterwards secured new trial. At
the same time the elder White was served with
a notice by the regulators to leave the county.
He afterwards received two similar orders, and
not needing them was shot dead in his house
by a large body of men who came mounted.
The grand jury found true bills against John
Archie, Jacob Burr, VIM. Shumate, Albert
Dckey, Solomon Ferguson. Oliver Morgan and
Robert Hart, for kidnapping White, and yes
terday Marshal Shafer procured assistance and
arrested the entire party. VIM. Shumate is
worth $4,000.
Since the killing of White ten prominent
citizens received orders from the regulators to
leave the country under penalty of death. A
colored man named Putnam, prominent law
yer of Palestine, received notice and immedi-
ately left fearing the danger.
