GRAVES OF RICH MEN.
Vanderbilt's Body is Guarded by Electric
Clocks and Detectives.

Ne,g York Correspondent Savannah Ne1cs.
cts an ill wind that blows nobody
good" said we'll dressed, active look
ing young business man the other day,
"Now, it may sound strange to you, but
the robbery of Stewards body has been
of great benefit to me and great many
other people whom could name"
I'm what way?' inquired the friend
to whom the remark was addressed.
"Well, it opened up an entirely new
line of business and created demand
for my goods in a quarter that l had
never thought of before. You know
manufacture electric watch clocks de.
signed for use in factories and other
large buildings where watchmen are
employed. Well, ever since the Stewart
grave robbery there has been a demand
for those watch clocks in every part of
the country for use in cemeteries. The
grave of every rich or public man is pro-
tected in some such way, and | could tell
you of graves that are watched night and
day by private watchmen.
There's Vanderbits grave, for in
stance, down iii the big mausoleum on
Staten Island. / sold them two of my
electrical clocks, one of which is placed
inside the tomb and the other outside of
it. Every fifteen minutes each clock is
visited by Pinkerton detective, two Of
whom are constantly on guard. One of
these detectives patrols outside the tomb,
while the other is locked in and sits be-
hind the iron bars with loaded repeat
ing rifle on his knees ready for instant
us. 1t would be next to impossible for
any robber to get away with the remains
OF WilliamH, Vanderbilt SO long as the
tomb is protected as it is now. Tho
Pinkerton men are hired by the year,
and there is quite a little colony of them
established down there on Staten Island,
very near the mausoloum. think they
keep eight or ten there all the time, so
that those on duty at the grave are re-
lieved at frequent intervals, and are,
therefore, not liable to fall asleep Mt their
posts. 1t costs more to look after the
old man now that he's dead than is spent
by most men when they're alive"

The New York and Florida Special, via
Pennsylynnia RaiIrOad,

The phenomenal success of the New York
and Florida special Pullman drawing-room,
dining and sleeping cars running between
New York and Jacksonville last season de-
monstrated beyond doubt the popularity of
such high-class train. Travel demands it,
and, with the view OF catering, in the best
manner possible, to the wishes OF every class
of It's patrons, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has arranged TO again place this train in
service between the points mentioned. 1t will
make its initial trip OF the season on Monday,
January Z, 1850, and will be run tri-weellly,
Mondays, Wednesdays aud Fridays thereafter,
The schedule of last year will be maintained,
and the special will leave New York $3.50 a. m,
Philadelphia 1859 a. m. Baltimore 22O p. M,
Washington $3.50 p. m, and arrive jackson
vile $40 y. m. next afternoon.
The equipment Of tho train will consist of
Pullman vestibule drawing-roOm, sleeping,
smoking and library and dining cars, heated
by steam and lighted by electricity. The
well-earned reputation of the train for com
fort, luxury and an excellent attention to the
creature comforts of its patrons Will not only
be preserved, but nothing will be left uudone
to make II better than ever In every respect.

COURTS HIS WIFE,S SPOOK.
An Iowa Mans Appreciation of the Pres
ence of His Wife's Ghost.


From the 50. Louis Gi0be- Democrat.
A refusal of husband to cromate the
remains of his wife has, according to his
story, entailed upon him haunt by her
disappointed spirit Mrs. V. was q viva
cious brunette and an esthetic woman, al
ways abreast of the times. The idea of Gre
nation won her most enthusiastic support
in moment. and being society lady,
with little else to do but crafty her
whims, she allowed the new scheme for
disposing of the dead to enthuse her. II
took so much of her attention from her
devoted husband that he grew Jealous,
as 1t were, of the innovation. He grew
to hate it more on the ground of its
divorcing his wife's devotion from him
than aught else.
Suddenly she died, and on her death
bed made him promise to cremnte her
corpse. She talked until the last moment
of how her spirit would delight in watch
ing the urn containing her ashes on her
husband mantel, but vowed she would
haunt Mr.. V. if he was untrue TO his
promise. IL was even said that her long
ing to become a subject for the furnace
actually FASTENED her death. The
husband, however, spurned the
thought Of giving all that was mortal
of his adored wife to the cause that he
believed had robbed him of his darling,
and, placing the remains in a costly cas-.
ket he had her quietly buried. He kept
their chamber, where the urn was to
have been, sacred TO her memory and his
own use. Two negro servants were en-
ployed to live in the basement and take
care of the house.
After few nights the colored mans
wife awakened him with the exclama-
ton; Mrs. V. up stairs" He laughed
at ii at first, but, after listening q little
while, was convinced she was right.
Mrs. Y. seemed pouring out torrent of
invective and reproach against him,
which was varied by a smart controversy.
In the morning he appeared with a
haunted look in his eyes, and face paid.
The spook kept getting worse every
night, until finally they heard struggle
and sound as of glass breaking They
rushed up, and, breaking into the room,
found him struggling with an imaginary
foe.
The debris of lot of vases that had
stood on the mantel were strewn about
the floor. The next day he complained
TO friend of his trouble, stating that his
wife haunted him every night. He was
advised to have h er remains taken up and
cremated, but says he would rather have
the company of her spirit than none if
the phantom would only desist from pull
ing hair and breaking furniture.
