.Donbslag the Pertormanee.

Chicago, IG. - Much discussion
aries over the reported performance
OF Vanderbilt's new double team at
HartfOrd--mile in 2.1615. There is
no doubt OF the record made by Mr..
Work with "Dick SWiYeller" and
Edward" the fastest previous
mile, 2.162{. This race was, how
ever, run by Yanderbilt's team
after all. The sporting men had
left Hartford, and it is regarded as
a very unusual method Of speeding
team, especially as the four time
keepers who V0Uch for the perform
ance are unknown to turf men. The
impression prevails that neither the
performance nor time were q genu-
Inc test.

RESURRECTIONISTS AT WORK
IN RICHMOND.
Medical Students Get Their Feet
in


RICHMOND, Va, December 13.-The sys-
tematic work of plundering the graves in
Oakwood Cemetery, which has been going
ON for years and which has dehed the
efforts of custodians of the cemetery to stop,
has met with a temporary check. The last
successful raid upon the graves was made
on Saturday night, when three bodies were
carried off This act melted the authorities
to greater vigilance, and last night the reg
ular cemetery guard was reinforced by
squad of dozen police, who, after lying in
wait until after midnight, succeeded in cap
turing four men, two white and two col
ored, in the act of opening grave. The
white men proved to be young medical stu
dents
This morning the police, armed with war
rants, searched the Virginia Medical Col
lege in this city, and found four dead
bodies three of which were recognized as
those resurrected from Oakwood Cemetery.
Two of the bodies were of the patients of
the Central lunatic asylum, four eolored
people, and one was colored city pauper.
Police Justice Richardson is investigating
the case Much interest is manifested, as
the young students in custody are well con-
nected-
It appeared in the evidence that one of
the students, W. B. Meredith, acknowledged
when captured that he was with the party
who robbed the graves Sunday night,
but that the other student, w. A. Smith,
was not with them.
At the conclusion of the testimony, the
police justice sent Meredith and the two
negroes to the grand jury, on a charge of
felony In actually robbing the graves on SUM-
day night, and of misdemeanor in attempt
ing the same last night. Smith was sent
on for misdemeanor only. The justice re-
fused bail to those charged with felony, but
Meredith was subsequently released on a
writ of habeas corpus.

Cribbs were small farmers, and were
IN the habit of leaving work about 5
