4 Sad Affair,

An account has been published Of the
seizure by Mendel & Co. of the remains Of
John Kress, who was recently killed in
Columbus. The facts of the case, as stated
by the deceased mans brother are these:
Meudel & Company conducted the funeral
after the body was shipped here from
Columbus, and the expenses amounted %
$s5 80. Mrs. Kress, wife Of the dead
man, agreed to having the remains in.
tered here upon the request of Mr..
Kress' parents, but she declined
to pay the funeral expenses. Thurs
day last Ars. Kress came quietly to
Wheeling and had the remains dlsinterred
without the knowledge Of her dead hus=
bands parents or friends, but a brother
heard Of her action, and wishing to pre-
vent its success, had the firm swear out an
attachment for the amount of the funeral
expenses, and the remains were seized
shortly after they left the graveyard. The
body was brought TO the city and after
ward taken TO the city cemetery and
placed in q vault, where it still remains.
Mr.. Kress' parents, who are highly re-
spectacle and well-to-dO citizens, natural
ly deepIyfeel the publicity given the cpl
sude, but they wish to keep their sons
body, and will make every attempt to do
SO.
