New YORK, Jan. S.-A great deal of curl
osity has been eviuced to hear the lecture
of Miss Helen II. Gardner, the protege and
latest disciple Of Col. Robert Ingersoll. The
young lady 1ectured to fair audience
at Chickering hall. Col. Ingerson pre-
sented Miss Gardner, who spoke for
two hours. Her lecture was an attack
upon the bible and the Christian re-
Egion. She said that the Christian religion
was wicked, unjust, unreasonable, cowardly,
and Infamous. She used these expressions:
"a religion which says that we should be mis-

Boston, Mass, Jan s.--The Globe pub.
fishes a special from New York, giving
what it alleges to be a true story OF
the recovery of Stewards body. The COR
respondent, who claims to speak on high
authority, says Judge Hilton woke up to the
peril of refusing to negotiate with the rob-
bers in the fall of 1851, when one
of his servants happening to go out
OF the door at night. discovered some
mon at tho foot of a long ladder
that was erected against the side OF the
mansion. They Immediately fled, and he
alarmed the household. AT the top of the
ladder window was open, the window OF
the room where slept Judge Hltons
7-year-old SON Then came an an
onymous letter: aYou were in time
last night; next time you viii be too
late" Hilton yielded to Mrs. Stewards view
of the case, and negotiations We're reopened
There was good deal of shrewd bargaining
as to the actual sum of money to be paid, and
at last the sum of $4,000 was fixed on, the
thieves insisting on getting the money in
hand before delivering the body. The place
selected for the delivery was a small bare
hill in Westminster county, commanding
the approaches from every SIDE The direc-
tons to Judge Hilton ran virtually thus:
"We win be there at o'elocl, Sunday morn
ing with the body. You send one man
unarned ON foot with $4,000 for us.
When he has given us the money
we viii leave him in possession of the
body" The programme was actually carried
out. A plucky servant of the late MIR. Stew
art was selected to complete the purchase.
He walked to the top of the hill and was
examined for weapons by masked men,
who then accepted the money and de
parted, leaving the tormented body be-
hind them in trunk. While the nego-
tiations were pending the Williams proved their
identity by sending to Judge Hilton a piece
of paper exactly the size and shape of the
pieces of zigzag cloth they had cut from the
lining of the rified coffin they had left behind
them in the Stewart vault
