HOW A SECRET WAS KEPT.
Death of a Man Who Murdered Grave
RObber More than Forty Years Ago.

BRADFORD Pa. March 13.-Between forty and
fifty years ago an old log church stood on the
commons between Pittsburg and Allegheny.
Adjoining it was graveyard. About daylight
one day in 1910 a farmer on his way to Pittsburg,
with load of meat, passing the graveyard,
heard the sound of splitting timber. Curious to
know the cause he alighted quickly, climbed the
graveyard fence and stole along in the direction
of the sounds. He had gone but short distance
when he discovered man choppi1rg in exca-
waited grave and in the act of lifting a body out
of the coffin. The grave was that of promi-
nent young woman who had been buried only
the day before. The farmer was so filled with
horror and indignation that before the man
could spring out, he seized club that lay near
and dealt him a powerful blow on the head. The
man neither uttered a. sound nor moved after
falling. The farmer became alarmed Dropping
into the grave himself he raised the grave-rob-
bers body, and recognized the sexton of the old
church, a man who stood high in the community.
Fearful of the consequences, the farmer hurried
home, and telling his relatives of what had oc-
CURED, left the State. Only five persons ever
knew his secret. Who found the body of the
sexton dead in the grave was not known by
them but as it was given out that he died sud
denly and no investigation was ever made, and
his family soon afterward moved away, it was
supposed by the five in the secret that the body
must have been discovered by some one of the
sections family, and that the evidences of his
crime were so plain that it was determined not to
expose it by making any effort to ascertain how
he came to his death. The sections slayer went
- +o'vli iss Ohio, wllep~ he became prominent
and wealthy. He died last week without bis Sc
cret becoming known even to his wife and chill
dren The secret, at the time of his death, was
in the custody of two persons only, all the rest
of the five having died One of these persons
is leading preacher in Allegheny; the other is
your informant a resident of the oil regions.

Particulars of the Eight.

SUAKIM March 13.-The British forces ad-
vanced in two brigades which were thrown into
the form Of squares A series of encounters
followed. Soon after leaving Serabia
great body or rebels charged the leading
square, spearng many British. The sailors
inside the square Immediately closed up, and
the rebels were repulsed with great slaughter
The advance was again resumed, when immense
hordes rushed upon the British from both Sides
terrible struggle ensued. The Arabs fought
with the greatest pluck and bPavado, but nearly
all were killed. The Second brigade met with
obstinate resistance, and was at one time re
pulsed. The Gatling and Gardiner guns fell into
the hands of the rebels, and were only recovered
after a severe fight, when the British likewise
gained possession of the rebel camp. The loss
of Osman Dgma's forces was ., 400.
The rebels, under the cover of the smoke, crept
close up to the British lines and dashed against
the marines and the SiXty-fif and Black Watch
regiment, throwing themselves upon the bayo-
nets of the British, and giving and receiving
fearful wounds. Great confusion ensued The
Sixty fifth began to retreat. crowding upon the
marines, when all became ineXtricably mixed Gen.
Graham and staff did their utmost to rally the
men, retreatng 800 yards to enable them to re-
form. Assistance of another brigade prevented
disaster. Many narrow escapes occurred among
the officers. The horse of General Butler was
shot from under him The pluck shown by the
rebels was unexampled.
a dispatch says the enemy was enabled to
penetrate the second square and capture by the
movement the guns of the Black Watch regi-
ment, which advanced impetuously and broke
the ranks. Numbers of rebels still hover around
the camp and fire when the cattle are being
watered The native guides bolted when the
square was broken The battle ragged two and
half hours. The rebel loss is estimated at 1 900
killed and {, 900 wounded.
The Hussars made a forward movement and
cut off the rebels retreat at Sinkat. They hope
to save the families of the massacred garrison.
The rebels penetrated the second square upon
their hands and knees, beneath the
muzzles of the Gatling guns They
then commenced slashing with their weapons,
doing terrible execution. The British We're no
match for the rebels at close quarters. The

SUAKIM, March l3-The rebels opened fire on
General Grahams forces at l o'clock this morn
ing. The British forces at once formed to repel
the charge, but no attack came. The men We're
thereupon ordered to lie down again. The fire
OF the rebels continued all night, but the British
did not reply One officer and two men were
wounded and one man killed. The fighting be-
gan at daybreak. The infantry and artillery
completely routed the enemy from their pits and
trenches The battle did not last more than
half an hour when the victory of the British
was made certain.
dispatch from General Graham, dated Osman
Digmas camp, March 13, 11:4O A. NJ, says: '"The
camp of the enemy has been taken, after hard
fighting since 8 o'clock this morning Over
seventy British were killed and one hundred
wounded"
Later dispatches say the bivouac last night
was exceedingly unpleasant The Arabs kept up
a persistent fusillade until just before daybreak
The bright moonlight rendered objects distinctly
visible at long distance but prevented any at
tempt at a sudden onset. The rebels directed
their fire especially toward the hospital wagons,
which were conspicuous in the moonlight The
surgeons and Gen. Grahams staff officers had
many narrow escapes. At sunrise Gardner
gun and nine FOUNDER were turned against the
rebels, who were within 800 yards of the Brit
ish position, and afforded most excellent target
The Arabs were soon compelled to retire to their
main position near the Tamai wells Col Stew
arts cavalry arrived at half-past and took po-
sition on the British left so as to turn the enc
mys right
Gen. Graham has taken quarters for the pres
ent in tho camp from which Osman Digma and
the rebel hosts were driven. The enemy fought
most stubbornly The battle was much heavier
than the engagement at Teb. The sailors. the
Black Watch regiment and York and Lancaster
regiments suffered the heaviest losses
