on the northeast side of the Handkerchief,

to Hyannis, and will probably reach there to-
night, make temporary repairs and proceed

BODY sNAroHERs AT WORK.
An Attempt to Steal the Body of th'
 Late Judge Nelson of Brooklyn.

An Attempt to Steal the Body of the
 Late Judge Nelson of Brooklyn.
 KINGSTON, Ont, Feb. 12.-Two weeks ago the body of the late Judge Nelson of Brook lyn reached this city via Cape Vincent. It was received by H. v. Fraliek, chairman of the Napanee school board and former intl- mate friend of the deceased judge. The pur- pose was to inter the remains of the distin- guished jurist in the cemetery at Morven. a pretty village in the township of Ernesttown, Lennox county, near to which the judge was born and spent his childhood. Burial could not be thought of in the winter season, be- cause, in the first place, it would be difficult of accomplishment, and, in the next place, the grave would not be left undisturbed for a single night. Body snatching has been prac- tised in the district to an alarming extent. Hardly body has passed beyond the protec- ton of friends and left without 8 vault that has not been carried off, and for many a one search has been made in the medical college here.
 Judge Neilson's friends knew what was to be expected, and in placing his body in the Morven vault it was felt that it was secure from disturbance. The vault was not for merly as secure as it is now, and it has been broken into and robbed of it's contents sev- eral times. Then it was reconstructed and seemed to be proof against any attack that might be made upon it. Three doors were placed upon it. The inside one was made se- cure and tight, but of ordinary wood: The second door is of steel, heavily braced by bar iron and bolted in a hundred places. The outside door is of oak. It is not known when the attempt to break into it was made by the ghouls, but it is supposed that it occurred on the night after the body of Judge Nelson was placed in the vault. The oaken door, frame and all, was forced out and operations begun on the steel door. Thirty-seven bolt heads were cut off, and it is supposed that,>as this work occupied so much time, the ghouls de- parted, replacing the oaken door, and so hid ing much of the evidence of their crime.
 The fact is now recalled that on the day on which Judge Neilson's body was being con veyed from the city to the cemetery party of suspicious men was passed. They were seen later in Napanee, and no doubt the theft was undertaken by them. The friends of the late judge are greatly excited, and a guard is now constantly kept upon the vault.

A TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN.
Senator CuIIoIn's BeeutIful EuIogY on the Anniversary of the Great Libera- tors Birth.

Senator CulIOn's Beautiful EuIogY on
 the Anniversary of the Great E1bera-
 tors Birth.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-A largely attended
 meeting was held at the club room of the
 National Republican league in this city this
 afternoon in commemoration of the birthday
 of Abraham Lincoln. W. W. Danenhower
 presided and after the singing of a musical
 selection by auartette Rev. Dr. Newman
 opened the exercises with reading from the
 scriptures and prayer. An address upon the
 life of President Lincoln was delivered by
 Senator Cullom of Illinois. He expressed the
 opinion that the people of all nations were
 more familiar with the life, character and career of Mir. Lincoln than any man in our history save Washington. It was his good fortune, the Senator said, to know MT. Lin coin we'll. While boy upon the farm he frequently heard his father tell neighbors and friends what an able lawyer and good man Lincoln was. The first time he attend ed court Lincoln and Colonel E. D. Baker who gave his life for his country at Balls Bluff, were engaged in the trial of suit, two intellectual giants contending for the suprem acy. Referring to Lincoln's early life the 1 Senator said the privations through which he | passed and the life which he led, while cal culated to cultivate some of the nobler vir ! tues, resulted in many cases in the formation of reckless habits. MT. Lincoln, however while absorbing what was besl in the pioneer life of his early days, avoided what was bad. His experiences during youth and early man. l hood developed in him courage, greatness ot l endurance, spirit of iberality, a strong sympathy for the poor and oppressed, but none of those habits of life which are so con- mon in new country and which work the ruin of men. MT. Lincoln never used intoxi- eating liquors. He said MT. Lincoln told him at the time of his first nomination that he had never kept any Intoxicating liquors in his house used any except for medicinal purposes. The life of Lincoln belonged to I the world. Whenever men were struggling to be free, whenever the rights of men have ! been invaded, whenever the iron hand oi l despotism fell upon the oppressed there would the heart throb to the memory of Lincoln | In commemorating the virtues of Abraham | Lincoln it was fitting for Americans to renew their devotion to the cause of liberty and te pledge themselves to see ''that this govern ment of and by and for the people shall moi perish from the earth" At the conclusion l of Senator Cullom's speeches were made by Messrs. Frederick Douglass, Simon Wolf and 1 Captain O'Farrall.

The Crown Prince Sits Up.

SAN RENO, Feb. 12.-The German Crown Prince arose this afternoon and sat up sev- eral hours. He is exceedingly well and lively.
 An evening paper referring to the Grown Princes malady states that the appearances which would necessarily have set in were the disease cancer have not yet been observed. The trocheal tube first used has been ex- changed for shorter one.
 VIENNA, Feb. 12.-Dr. Schroetter does not think Dr. Bergman was summoned to San Reno to operate on the larnyx, an operation which he considers now out of the question, if there has been any unfavorable change Further development of the disease for 6 period granted by nature, but then the con. dition would be critical.
 BERLIN, Feb. 12.-Private telegrams from San Reno regarding the condition of the Grown Prince are less reassuring than the official despatches. It is stated that ten dency to fever has been developed.

 Fire Disturbs Their Slumbers and Sew
 eral Badly Scorched by the Flames.
 BROOKLYN, Feb 12.-A fire which broke out at 2:30 this morning in the large double thres story boarding house known as the Harper House at Nos. 105 and 107 Clark street caused the most intense excitement for time, and several persons in their att tempts to escape from the burning building were more or less injured. The house was kept by Messrs. Combes. When the fire broke out there were about thirty boarders and nine servants asleep in the house. The injured persons were those on the third floor. Mrs. Combes says she was awakened by the servant and they began to arouse the other occupants. G. Combs, a broker aged 40, who slept on the third floor, jumped from window for second story porch, but missed it and fell upon the sidewalk His ekull was fractured and he will probably die. A num- Der of the boarders got upon the porch and some jumped to the ground. Two men who were passing ian and found ladder with which they rescued fifteen persons from the porch. John Gordon, 8 salesman, jumped and sustained severe scalp wound and shock. He is at the hospital. Minnie Reynolds, a servant, received severe wounds of the back. Another servant girl received severe wounds about the body. Both these girls jumped from the second story window. Mary Wyatt received deep scalp wound.

THIS WEEKS WORK IN CONGRESS
Plenty of Business Cut out for Beth
 Houses,

Houses.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Ths education bill still remains the unfinished business of the Senate, but there is a unanimous under standing that it shall be disposed of next Wednesday. Senator Edmunds will call up during the week for consideration and action the bill reported by him from the foreign relations committee to charter the Nicaragua Canal company. Beyond this no announce ments have been made for the coming week and no programme laid out. The calendar contains over two hundred measures reported from committees, majority being private pension bills, and the unassigned time of the body is likely to be consumed in the consid- eration of the miscellaneous matters to which they relate. It is expected one or two speeches will be delivered during the week on the Presidents message, which still lies on the table. Tomorrow will be given up by the House of Representatives to the con- sideration of bills originating with the dis trict committee, and the proceedings are not likely to be of general interest. It is the in tentlon of the appropriations committee to call up the urgent deficiency bill early in the week. This measure has been delayed some time by tagging supplementary estimates, but it will probably be disposed of during the next few days. The morning hours will be devoted to the discussion of MT. Dingley's bill relative to tonnage dues, the French ex- position bill, the bill to require the testing of chains and anchors and the bill to prevent frauds on American manufacture.

JIMMY ALBERT ALL RIGHT.

 Big Pedestrian Record.

Fresh as Daisy After Breaking the
 Big Pedestrian Record.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The great six days walk ended last nig ht at o'clock, when AL bert, the plueky little pedestrian from Phila- delphia, broke all previous records. When he left the track he left behind him record of 621 and three-q quarters miles. Herty was the second man with 582 miles, Guerrero third with 564 miles and the others strung out at various distances, with Hart, Golden, Moore, Strokel and Noremac covering the necessary 525 miles to entitle them to share in the gate money.
 James Albert was apparently as fresh this morning as any man in the Ashland House. He took only his usual sleep last night, arose early and after breakfast took short walk with his wife. Later he walked from Twen- ty-fourth street to Central Park and back and will continue taking moderate exercise in- stead of lapsing into idleness. He says he will never enter another contest although he may participate in walking exhibitions. He is under engagement to appear nightly for a week with Dockstader's minstrels and will deliver addresses in ring costume. Two pro- posed receptions in Philadelphia have been postponed in consequence
