and daughter, arrived here this morn
ing Mrs. Garfeld's two sons, Irwin
and Abraham, together with John A.
Logan, son of General Logan, went
down to quarantine on hoard the
United States cutter, Chandler, to meet
Mrs. Garfield. They have not yet
reached the city. The Traye exper-
fenced boisterous voyage. When off
the Needles the steamer met with heavy
seas and strong westerly winds, both of
which she battled with during almost
the entire voyage.

DIAGRAM SHOWING LOCATION OF PIPE.
When the top lid was taken off the,
Casket was found to be IN a horrible
condition. AT the time of the burial
il was covered with black cloth, but it
was now so mOuldy that one would
scarcely know that it was black cas-
ket. 1t had the appearance of being
water soaked: and it was so swelled
that it could hardly be taken out OF the
outer coffin. Water could be seen on
the silver plate which had bowl-llke
appearance. At the bottom of the
outer coffin was a great deal of
sediment. which indicated at
once that there had been
great deal of water in the grave
The inside of the top lid of the outer
coffin was so moist that drops of water
could easily be discovered upon it.
With great deal of difficulty the
casket was taken out. Streaks on the
casket told the by-standers that it had
been living in water The corpse was
carried to grave that had been dug
for it a short distance south OF the old
one.
The brothers now requested to have
the casket opened before re-burylng 1t.
Some fears have been entertained AS to
whether Schmidt was in the grave or
not. but all doubt as to this has been
removed. Undertaken Sharer opened
the casket and the brothers were both
satisfied that it was their brother
Charles.
The body was not decOmposed as
much as those present thought it would
be. 1t was very much swollen. especial
ly about the head. There was very
little smell about it, which would not
have been the case if it had not been
well soaked with water The body was
let down in the new grave and a man
ordered by Secretary TOnner to I'LL 1t
up.
The crowd then returned to the old
grave to see if the pipe could be found.
After the box was torn apart and taken
out, the pipe was discovered just below
the bottom of the outer coffin. 1t
was an eighteen-inch sewer pipe,
and there was Joint in the
pipe right under the coffin. The pipe
was broken on the top and there was a
hole in it large enough for a man to
crawl in. The pipe was broken at the
time the grave was dug, but as the
outer coffin fitted tightly in the grave
it could not be discovered at the time
of the burial.
Undertaken Sharer said that he could
notice fine grains Of sand on the lining
of the casket.
There can now be no doubt as to the
truth of the article stated in the DEM
OCRAT a week ago. Now the question is
who is responsible? There has been
great wrong done to the people of Can
ton. A thorough investigation should
at once be made and the guilty parties
punished according to law.

News Summary.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 7.-[Spe-
cial When President and Mrs. CleVe-
land visited Jacksonville, many and
various were the presents they received,
from boxes of silver tissue wrapped
cigars for the President to other arti-
cles for Mrs. Cleveland. Much interest
is caused by colored man named
Sherman presenting the mistress of the
White House with patent ironing
board which he invented. She received
it graciously and thanked him. The
President soon after twitted her about
it and laughingly said she would not
know how to use it. 1t was the subject
of much bandiage all the while, but
Mrs. Cleveland stood it well and saw
that the board was sent to the car.
This morning Mr.. Shermun, who is a
worthy citizen, received the following
letter:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Feb. 20.

sion of my visit, recently, to Jackson

MADE A BAD BARGAIN.

Experience of a Lot of Pennsylvania
Miners in Mexico.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, March 6.-[Special.I
A month ago forty Schuylkill county
miners left here for Mexico, where they
were to be employed at big wages at
mining. Letters received from there
indicate they made very sorry bargain.
They get $3.50 day, but must&liye in
shanties worse than those the Hungar-
ians have in this region. They have
been shot at, and one was stabbed by
the Gleasers. Already four have sold
their clothes and blankets to get money
to return across the border, and the rest
are saving money to get away asIsoon
as they get staked. They complain
bitterly of the misrepresentation OF
the employment agent who took them
on, and whose neutrality-suspicious.
until they crossed the Rio Grande,
when he began treating them like cat
tie. A purse is being made up by
friends here to help them back, most of
them being miners of good standing.

THE TRUTH TOLD.
the Body of Charles Schmidt Ex-
humed This Morning,
"There's Something Rotten in Denmark"
The Water Pipe Found Broken
in the Grave, and the Cask-
ct Well Soaked.

This morning about dozen people
proceeded to the cemetery to see the
body of Charles Schmidt, who was
buried last summer, exhumed. Among
the number were two brothers OF
Charles Schmidt, Otto Geissen, his ad-
ministrator; Undertaken Sharer, who
buried him, and a few others, among
whom were two reporters ofthe DAILY.
DEMOCRAT. Mr.. Tonner, Secretary OF
the Cemetery Association was present,
and after asking the relatives whether
they consented to the removal OF the
body, to which they answered in the ar
irmative, Mr.. John Knob and sons be,
gan to dig up the grave. The ground
Was frozen over foot thick, and the
progress was slow for the hrst hour,
When they got down to depth OF 2H
feet the outer coffin was seen, The lld

SATARRE,

Catarrh is often regarded by the
patient as cold in the head, and he
often expresses his astonishment at his
remarkable tendency to contract fresh
cold; indeed he declares he is scarcely
free from a cold before he takes another,
and yet he is always exceedingly careful.
1t is also a matter of surprise to him
that the cold always seems to settle in
the head and throat.
At times many of the symptoms of
Catarrh may seem to abate, and the
patient is led to hope that the disease is
about to wear of; but another class Of
symptoms only appear and ne learns
TO HIS HORROR
that instead of recovering from the dis
ease, it is somewhat changed In its char
acter, and has extended to the throat.
A sense of WEAKNESS is sometimes felt
in reading, speaking and singing;
hOarsenosS at times occurs; a sensation
of dryness 10 felt in the throat,
or ir appears as that some for
eign substance, as for instance hair,
obstructs the throat; there comes
sense of langor and fatigue, breath
lessons upon little exertiOn, short,
hacking cough, apeculiar sound in clear
ing the throat, feeling as though there
were not room enough in the chest to
breathe these and other symptoms occur
after the disease has made considerable
progress. Then it is when consumption
about to begin its dreadful work. Up
to this time the progress of the disease
may have been slow, and the patient
may, in expressing his confident hope
that it will ''wear off, declare that he
has had the Catarrh for years, and has
not seemed to become much worse, and
trusts that he will "by and by" recover;
but his delusion is the
GRAND ERROR
that has peopled our cemeteries with
cOnsumptive forms.
No discovery or improvement in
medical practice Of late years has been
of more utility than that which is prop
erly known as the inhalation system of
cure in throat and lung diseases" In
this climate, so capriciOus and variable,
where at least one in every three persons
in the community is afflicted with some
sort of throat or lung disease, class of
maladies increasing every year in fatal
ity, anything which really tends to arrest
the disease and restore the sufferer from
its ravages is surely
A BLESSING
which will be appreciated by every fam
lily throughout the country. Its results
are most gratifying and remarkable, and
have elected the very highest commen-
dation from many Of our best citizens.
It conveys the remedy directly to the
parts diseased. Its effects are prompt
and permanent Its action is always safe
and salutary, even in the most debliitated
cases. Relief is usually obtained from
the hour OF using the remedies. The
treatment is both local and constitution
al and yet the cures are effected without
much medicine.
The treatment can be used at home
with perfect facility. The patientNwho
is engaged in business will have no oc-
casion to suspend business in order tC
pursue treatment.

The weather during the past fortnight has
been lust of the sort to be looked for at this
season of the year,-hot, with thunder and
rains-though scarcely as frequent, and as
severe, thunderings as usual. The Planters
have been .busy everywhere in applying
foreign stimulants to the young canes, and
the general opinion is that it is a long time
since the young crop has been so advanced,
or looking in better form, than it is at pres
emit. With a continuance Of seaSOnable
weather, the prospect of another large crop
is. most favourable. OF course, we are not
yet out of the wood, for a dry and hot August,
such as we have occasionally, would yet mar
very materially the present fine prospects.
Yet SO far, we have good cause to be thank
full, and can only hope and look forward
bravely as to the future. This much, how
ever, we can record with supreme satlsfac-
tion-that, in the face Of all difficulties, the
planters are sticking m~anfully to their guns,
and it is a pleasure, from any ordinary
height in the Island, to gaze down upon
fields, either verdant with luxuriant crops,
or in course Of preparation for others.
AS we write, the month of August IS
already on the wing, and yet there are
several Estates which have not vet brought
their sugar crops for the year to a close.
This fact, along with the prospect of another
large crop next year, points the regret, 50
often expressed in these columns at the
want of a better class of machinery for the
manufacture of the fine canes produced by
the careful cultivation Of the present day.
A large quantity of sugar remains on the
estates stanchions to be sent to town, as
