PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-Maggie Con-
wav, Is years of age, a resident of Nlcetown
died suddenly on Friday afternoon, at the
house of Mrs. Jane McIlhenny, No. 759
Ringgold street, where she had been stop
ping for several days. The notice of her
death was LETT at the Ninth District Station
House oy John Stewart, an old man living
at Mrs. McIlhenny's house. On Saturday
morning Lieutenant Jordon began an inves-
tigation of the case. He took Mrs. Nell
henny's husband, john Stewart and Jennie
Harmon, the domestic, iuto custody.
The house had been suspected by the
police for some time, and partic-
ularly since last March, when a
young married woman named Jennie
Slack died there. A thorough ex-
animation of the house was made, but moth
ing was found to confirm the suspicious oi
the police, except a number of bundles oil
herbs. Mrs. McIlhenny stated that the girl
came to her house, saying she had been
driven from her aunt's house, and that II
she was not taken In she would drown her.
self The girl, she says, was suffering from
dropsy.
The only evidence In the case is given by
the domestic, who says number Of girls
and women fave been at the house during
the past year, some of whom stayed there
for days and weeks at time. An inquest
will be held by the Coroner to-day.

They Attompt to steal the Body OF the Fat
Bride.
BALTIMORE, Oct. est was ascertalned
this evening that last night bold attempt
was made to rob the grave OF Mrs. Moses,
the mammoth bride, In Mount Olivet Gene
terry. A belated pedestrian while passing in
the rear or the cemetery had his attention
attracted by covered wagon which was
driven at secluded spot and from which
alighted six men. These men took from
the wagon number of tools which they
careIesslv threw over the wall, following
themselves.
Dlyining at once what their intention was, |,
the witness hurried around to the front
gate, and, awakening the keeper, informed
him of what he had seen. The latter
thought that the robbers were after the fat
woman's body, and, collecting a force OF
employees, he started for the grave and sur
prised the men at work.
As soon as the robbers saw that they were
discovered they took to their heels and made
good their escape. The cemetery people
did not pursue, but ran to the nearest sJa-
ton of the county police and notified them.
A party started at once 10 pursuit, but
failed to over take the regurreotionists.

| The six men were evidently students. The
grave of Mrs. Moses will be guarded every

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Opera House, tonight, will be
given "7-20-S," one OF the best comedies of
the day, by Augustin Daly's excellent COM
pany. The Washington Republican has this
to say of the play and the company: The
comedy is breezy, graceful one, sparkling
with mirthful scenes and fairly overlooking
with humor The situations are all easy
and natural and the ludicrous turns flow
without effort or straining, The plot Is
very simple, the handling fresh and artistic.
There is nothing forced, nothing artificial,
while the company is thoroughly disciplined
to the requirements OF the play. The COM
edy synopsized runs thus: M. Courtney
CoyliSs, Mr.. Fulton Russell, gentleman of
leisure with a theory concerning boone
raugs, levotes his time to hunting face
that has struck his fancy. lfr. Ldncegot
BargiSs, Mr.. Frank Hardenberg, a jolly old
gentleman, without o grain of poetry
with his family for winters
visit, and, to hoodwink his wife, pretends
to engage in literary work. He is aided and
abetted by Professor GdSleigh, Mr.. Harry
Rainforth, who shows Mr.. Bargiss around
town and makes him "pay" for the instruc-
tion. Idul Hollyhock, Mr. Henry Miller, the
husband of Dora. Hattie Russell, Mr.. Bar
giss's daughter, becomes possessed with a
desire to see life also, and joins his father
in-law in that amusement. Sig. Pdlmiro
Tdmbo,ino, Mr.. D. G. Longworth, an Ital-
ian dancing master, on mission for an earl, /,
falls 10 with the Bargiss party, and per-
suades Mrs. Bargiss that his principal has
fallen in love with photograph OF her
daughter Floss, Helen Rljou Heron, the
much sought 7-20-6. The Bargiss party have
servant, Jessie, Florence Barrett, very
pretty and piquant specimen of "servant
eirlhood." Last, not least, is Mrs. Hypdt;a
BaiyiSs, Jennie Reifarth, a lady possessed
of ancestors, aspirations and hobby. Kind
hearted, loving and imperious Mrs. Bargiss
1 has literary ambition and social ability, and
while essaying to rule her household, inclu.
ding son -in-law, is divided in sentiment be-
tween the desire of seeing her husband q
| distinguished poet, and her youngest daugh
ter the wife of an earl. Out of this simple
plot flow many very laughable mistakes, In
tensely funny scenes, growing oat OF the
course of the play as naturally as bou2hs
upon q tree or buds upon bush. The act
| ing is commendabe. The comnlny Is a
very strong one, thoroughly at home IN
| their parts, and, as rule, present their roles
in as natural u manner as they would PISS

GEORGETOWN, Oct. 26.-This has been
gala day for the Changers of Kent and
Sussex counties. The brothers and sisters
were out In force to attend the meeting of
the District Grange and to listen TO Morti-
mer Whitehead, Esq, the ex-National
Grange lecturer, who has no superior in
putting the aims and objects Of the organi-
zation Of Patrons Of Husbandry plainly be.
fore the people; with telling blows, In the
interest of the organization. he was listened
10 for over an hour with deep in
terest and many outbursts Of applause. He
reminds me Of tho girl whose tongue was
said "to be hung in the middle and wagged
at both ends" His tongue never seemed to
tire and his fund of telling interest never to
be exhausted. His audience were SPELL
bound listening to the many truths, which
he told them which they they had never be-
fore heard, but which many OF our farmers
had too sadly experienced. After he got
through "Delaware's Granger war horse,"
Dean, as he ia familiaTly known among
the fraternity, came forward and the
worthy master told him that half an
hour would be allowed him, which he used
to put In some Of the things which he had
experienced since his connection with the
organization, and he was well received.
The public meeting was drawn to close by
some pertinent remarks by r. H. Gilman, a
member Of Milford Grange, after which the
patrons repaired to their new hall, not quite
finished, and organized in secret session
until o'clock, wDen recess was taken for
the purpose Of replenishing the exhaustive
condition of the inner man, which was done
with a will from the well loaded tables
made SO by the worthy sisters. 1t does seem
that they either have learned since they
become members OF the Grange or must
have known well before they Joined, for as
caterers they have no superiors. Their
tables, loaded with the good thiEgs, the pro-
ducts of Kent and Sussex counties, were
just the thing to make poor hungry human
nature smile, and person unaccustone ed to
witnessing such scenes would have won
dered what had become of the provisions.
Recess over, the members AGAIN assembled
in secret session, when the secret work
was exemplihed, after which many matters
of interest to the agriculturist generally
were brought up for discussion until about
IL o'clock, after which many drove miles to
their respective homes and the meeting
again took a recess until $50 o'clock a. m.
next morning. Your correspondent with
many others left for home, but before doing
SO paid visit to Treat & Co.'s great
Georgetown enterprise, and were much
pleased with what they there saw and also
with the pleasant manner In which they
were received by Mr.. Treat himself and his
many Gids-de-camp, who came to his assist
ance. On the whole the day and evening
were so pleasantly spent that 1t will long be
remembered by the brothers and sisters.
