VIEWING THE BODY.

ST. LOUIS, April Ga dispatch from
Kearney, near which town is the home of
Mrs Samuels, mother of Jesse James, says
the train bearing the remains of the once
dreaded bandit arrived at that place about
one o'clock this afternoon, having been
detained at Cameron. Quite number of
people were at the depot. and the scene
was very pathetic one. Mrs. Samuels
could not restrain her feelings, and talked
q good deal about the manner in which her
son had been killed. To areporter present
she said: 81 know it had to come; but my
dear boy Jesse is better off in heaven to day
than he would be here to-day" Friends
ffocked around and each were greeted by
name by Mrs. Samuels, with word about
her trouble.
The party went directly to the Kearney
hotel where DR. Samuels met them. The
body was takeh to his Office and the casket
opened, and the crowd was admitted. to
look. Mrs. Samuels and Jesse's widow
entered with the children. At O'clock p.
N. the scene was terrible. There were
shrieks, means and curses, and Luther
James, Johnny Minis. DIR. Samuels, and
friends. tried to persuade the neither to
leave the body, but before she and Mrs.
James retired all present had looked at the
remains and recognized in them the fea-
lures of Jesse James. Many people lin
gered in the streets all night. and the ex-
citement, though not demonstrative, was
intense. At daylight the sky cleared, and
though the sun rose upon roads that were
deep in mud horsemen began coming from
every direction. At the earliest hour the
coffin still lay with uncovered lid upon the
upturned box in the Office Of the hotel, and
toward it all steps were turned. The
morning trains are bringing many more,
and the scene is that of a swarrning fair
day. W. r. Woodward and John B. Car
son, Superintendent and General Manager
of the Hannibal s. St. Joe road, were pas
seagers on the south bound morning train,
and it was stopped long enough to permit
the officials and passengers to view the
body, the hotel being near the station.
Two other trains were stopped for the
same purpose
The aviiity of the people to look upon
the face of the dead man seems to be one
of most singular power-something more
than passing curiosity. Upon many faces
traces of compassionate emotion are percept
ible, as they gaze upon the now ghastly
countenance The wife and mother are
more subdued this morning, which forebodes
an outbreak at the funeral services, which
occurs this afternoon at the Baptist church.
Sam Kaufman. noted desperate. and
party arrived this moEning and viewed the
remains. He was summoned by Leltn
James, cousin of the dead man.

BLACKMAILING.

BosFoN, April g. A remarkable attempt
to extort money from Charles Francis Ad-
ANS and blackn ailing hls family, has just
been discovered. The first intimation of
the scheme was a warning received BY Ad-
ans clerk, Friday, that Adams bank ac-
count was overdrawn. This was consider
ed surprising, as he was known to have
SIS, 900 to his credit there. An immediate
investigation showed that check for S17,-

OPPOSITION TO cHANDLER's CONFIRMATION.

OPPOSITION TO CHANDELIERS CONFIRMATION.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The nominations
of Teller and Chandler were expected, and
therefore created no surprise. Teller viii
doubtless be confirmed without reference
to the Committee, but there will be strong
opposition to Chandler from the Demo
cratic side. Several Democratic Senators
have already openly declared they viii OPP
pose Chandler, but it is thought the Re
publicans will vote for him. DON Gamer
on voted against him when he was nomi-
mated for Solicitor General, but i'm view of
Camerons close relations with the Admin
istration, it is generally believed he will
now vote to confirm Chandler, and the
opinion of seme Democrats is that Davis,
of Illinois, will also vote for Chandler. So
if all the Democrats should op
pose him he may be confirmed.

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it SO perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters the purest and best
of medicines. See other column.
