The Chastity Discovery Made by a
Mother I'm San Francisco.


SAN Francisco, April lS.-On Monday
last, in Oakland, a girl 81 years old, named
Sarah Loper, died after a long illness She
was buried on Wednesday in Mountain
View cemetery. On Friday her mother
went to the grave to place some flowers on
it, and noticed that the grave looked
as if it had been disturbed. She had
the grave reopened and found the
body gone. Yesterday morning a search
warrant was issued and the CalifOrnis
Electic Medical College, on the corner OF
Clay and Eleventh streets, was visited, and
the body found and taken to the Morgue.
There had been no cutting, and the body is
still in good condition. The girl was de-
formed, and during her life she was some
times idiotiC, though al others sane. Before
her death she had not eaten anything for
several days, and all these circumstances
make the case an interesting one for med
ical examination. Her father is dead. 1t
is probable that several arrests will be
made
Prior to the death Of the girl, DR.. Crow
lev, Of the California Medical College,
called on the mother and asked Tor the
body. The REQ uest was not granted. When
the body was inferred the mother suspect
ed an attempt at body -snatChing, and
placed a private mark on the grave. When
She went to the place she noticed the
chan ged po sitiOn, and at once demanded
of the Superintendent that the grave be
opened. He al first refused, hut finally
consented, and upon opening the coffin
lid the body was gone, but the clothes
were still there; they having been cut
from the body. The doctors in charge OF
the college denied that there was any
ground for the suspicion, nut a thorough
examination of the premises showed the
body was in the disSecting room up near
the roof 1t vas naked. 1t was taken to
TO the police station, and will he used as
evidence.

AstrOtOsy.
New York, April lS.-Andrew Jaquith,
who died at the ST. James Hotel, Washing
ton, on Thursday, was better known in
this city as Professor George Greggs, the
astrologist He had an office at No. 3JS
Mercer street, where he received visits
daily from number of persons who sought
to know from him something OF the future
Mr.. Jaduith, who was about thirty-two
wears OF sge, was born at Ashburnham,
Mass, and his father was Baptist min
lister. He was educated at New.lps-
wich, New Hampshire, with the inten-
ton that he, too, should join the clergy,
but TO this he would not consent. For
short time he was drygoods clerk in Bos-
ton, but from q child he had taken an in.
tefest in what be called the "science OF
sstrology," and after having read much on
the subject, he set himself up about eight
or ten years ago as pro tess0r.st Ills
reputation quickly grew, and he made
money. In 1873 he came to New York,
and opened an Office with even greater sue
cess. Not only was he visited by women
and men who might be expected 10 be cred
ulous, but among his patrons were ban X
ers and brokers and professional men,
who sought his assistance in their specula,
tions. Some of them are said TO have paid
him regular weekly salary and to have
visited him every day. His friends tell
wonderful stories of his predictions, one
them having been, it is said, the assassina'
ton OF Garfield. The estimates placed upon
the value of his practice vary, hut $50 a
day is considered not extravagant, as his
clients extended throughout this country
and parts of England. He is said TO have
cast 10000 horoscopes.
For the past two years Mr.. Jaquith was

come there and play. In the course of

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, April 19.-The situa-
ton at the Springfield Iron Company s
mills remains unchanged. Nothing OF i'm
portance has transpired since Saturday

timony has been elected, but the
coroner desires il to be kept

main on duty and will continue at their
posts until there are good assurances that
there will be no more rioting. A woman

ing near the mill, swore out warrant yes

tent to commit rape had been made upon
her on Sunday by a non-union man; she
did not know the name OF the person. d
man named Flynn was jailed on the charge

A Baltimore Belle Makes Up Her
Mind
TO EloPE WITH A TREE PEODLEl
Who is Polygamist-The Enormous In
come Of an Astrologist-H Corpse
Found in a CeIlar-Gen-
era News.

BALTIMORE, April 1S.-Publicity has just
been given to the particulars Of a crime
which, though it happily did not result al
together in the way it was intended, is Of
that class which in this city is regarded as
richly meriting the consignment Of the
guilty man to the inside of a psnitentiary
as a feion. Briefly told the story is as fol-.
lows: About one year ago the family Of
which the girl referred to, whose age is
about twenty, is the only daughter, re-
moved 10 this city from Virginia, and
shortly afterwards the father was appoint
ed to responsible position in the en-
PlOy Of Of & leading %bn ,,In;sy street rail: rail:
dence is in one of the pleasantest portions
of Baltimore, and thither, in the course Of
time, tree sgent, who goes by the name Of
Vim. McElfresh, said to hail from Rochester,
n. y, wended his way and essayed. to dis.
pose of some OF his stock in trade. The
young lady, who, though not handsome, is
quite attractive in form, and is consider
ably gifted with conversational powers, and
is withal an excellent musician, was per.
suaded by McElfresh to allow him 10 make
Call ON Her.
This was succeeded by other calls, and
they became quite confidential in their re.
lations. She entrusted TO him the secret
that her home was not as pleasant as IL
might be, and obtained her consent to en-
lope with him. In guileless innocence she
sent loving letter 10 her betrothed, but
which it is believed was mercifully so di.
rected, that it fell into the hands Of lady,
who opened it. She could not endure the
thought that McEfresh, with whom she
was somewhat acquainted, and by the way
knew him to be not only married man,
but the possessor Of several wives, one OF
whom resides in PEiladel phia, should be al
lowed to pursue the girl 10 her rum, and
took steps to prevent that calamity. After
much patient investigation, which was
occasioned by the mysterious manner in
which the note referred to was signed, the
young lady was found and made aware OF
the pit dug for her. 1t is perhaps needless
to say that the Joy of the girl at her happy
escape was almost too great for utterance.
Further investigation showed that Neil
fresh, although he has been in this city
but short time, is the proprietor OF a
house of prostitution, and there is not the
slightest doubt that his sole object in try.
ing to entice the girl from her home was 20
induce her to become an inmate OF his den
of infamy. When the big brothers OF the
lady hear OF the case lively scene is ex
nected To occur.

The Evidence In the Star Reate Case.
WASHINGTON, April lS.-In the Star
Route trial this morning Mr.. Bliss called
John A. Walsh, and asked il he had ever
had any money transactions with Brady.
Mr.. Wilson objected and the Court called
for statement.
In response, Mr., Bliss called attention to
Brady's denial upon this point, and offer.
ed to contradict him. Mr.. Bliss briefly
related the alleged facts set out in the pub
lished affidavit Of Price, that in the sum-
mer OF 1880, after the passage Of the Star
Route Deficiency Appropriation bill, Price
bad been approached by A. II. Brown and
requested, to subscribe S. 900 TO fund raised
by the Star Route contractors to defray
the expenses attendant upon the passage Of
that bill; that Price had large quantity Of
unemployed stock and had subscribed the
money upon the promise that he should
be given certain service in return; and
that the money and drafts so subscribed
by Price had been placed upon Brady's
desk. He would prove that Brady had
passed to Walsh drafts given by him 10
Price, who would he here to-day. He also
offered to prove that Brady had requested
witness to deposit a certain sum OF money
to his credit, and that Walsh accordingly
placed $4,000 with Hatch & Foote, Of New
York, to Brsdy's credit
Mr.. Wilson argued that the subject was
purely collateral in character, and that evil
dence in that connection waS not proper In
rebuttal. He called attention to the pending
civil suit oil Walsh against Brady and as.
serted that that issue could not be tried IN
this count, because it in no wise affected
the present. case.
The Court did npt perceive how the
proof would establish the truth OF Walsh's
statement of that conversation.
Mr.. Merrick cOntended that rs Brady had
denied the whole conversation sworn 10 by
Walsh, prosecution had right TO corro.
borate its witness by proof OF what had
been described as the collateral portion Of
