GRAVES DEsEcRATED.

Tne Railroad Company Find Three Bodies
in Their Newly Acquired Properly.
More May be Found.
The workmen who are digging away
the recently purchased portion Of Old
Swedes Cemetery, yesterday came across
the bodies Of three persons.
Two of them were relatives Of Kate
Beatty, better known as "0yster Kate" !"
one was buried forty and the other
twenty years ago. 1t is not known who
the third body was.
A reporter Of the EVENING JOURNAL
called on p 3. Forman at his office on
East Fourth street this morning and
asked him in relation to that portion of
the cemetery Mr.. Forman is an old
undertaken, and knows great deal
about Old Swedes' burying ground,
as he had charge of it in 1846 He says
there is 70 N of one hundred graves about
fifteen feet from the wall and known as
Strangers Row. All the bodies buried
there were inferred between the years
1860 and 1875 Rev ssMr. Breck was pas
tor of the church at that time.
Mr.. Forman remembers that this row
of graves was iar enough from the wall
to allow the passage of carriages.
About 1870 he lower part of the ceme-
terry was flied in to depth of one to
three feet.
The railroad was built in 1885 andsthis
part was not used as burying ground
until after tia time, thus showing that
the bodies found were not buried SO long
ago as the Morning News has stated
The workuen at the ground are push
ing the wor, beginning at the north
eastern end 81 the cemetery.
About five ct is being dug away.
If graves ars there they will probably
not be touched, but if they are in the
part not yei excavated they will be ex
posed, as tae ground is so much higher
The prosecution of the work will bs
watched will great deal of interest ant
indignation by those who have always
been OPPOSED 10 the sale of the property

CLEVELAND STRUCK A SNAG.
Civil Service Commissioner Ed
gerton, stalwart Democrat, remov-
ed by President Cleveland, but few
weeks ago, hit back at him on Tues
day in two-column article, that
bristled with sarcasm, irony and
loathing. Cleveland is big man,
physically, and the sharp shafts must
have pierced him time and again.
Edgerton says the Democratic party
was defeated because Of Cleveland's
bad judgment, vanity and unpopu-
larity 4; that he is a positive man,
positively wrong or positively right,
and, therefore, unsafe, because his
lack Of sense and unwillingness to
listen to others are most likely to di-
rect his stubbornness into the wrong
channel. He brands Cleveland as a
political coward, cringing to mug
wumps and afraid of his own many
hued political shadow, and declares
that his administration has been apol-
ogies, explanations and personal re-
ordinations. Mr.. Edgerton is high
priest in the party, and it is amusing
to see such family quarrels. When
political leaders fall out honest Amer
leans witness circus.

KENNA WINS.

On Thursday last, John E. Kenna
was elected to the United States
Senate, by vote of 46, Gen. Golf
getting the full Republican vote, As.
Dorr finally surrendered, but not I'M
til he had failed to make q combina-
ton with Golf, who refused to accede
to a proposition by which his friends
were to first vote for a Democrat,
and in the event of failure to elect,
then Dorr and such other Democrats
as felt so inclined, to vote for Golf.
Thus closes one Of the most bitter
political struggles of recent years,
and the wounds and scars will likely
remain for many years.

THERE is q revival of the report
that Mrs. Cleveland is to publish q
story after she retires from the White
House, and it is to be hoped the re-
port is correct. If Mrs. Cleveland's
work as a novelist is half as success
full and charming as her career in the
White House has been, literature and
society will be equally indebted TO
her-PhaladclphiG Press.

BACK GRO UNDS
Manufacturers NOtice.


The Crane Machine Company, of Balti-
more City, has secured the manufacturing
plant of John Fitz, at Martinsburg, West
Virginia, together with the services of the
said John FItz, for the purpose of building
the new combined CRANE MACHINES,
for which they hold twenty odd patents,
and which machine is pronounced by COM
petent judges to be far in advance Of any
farm implement in the way of comDina-
tion and simplicity, ever seen, consisting of
roller, interchangeable with wheels drill,
and harrow, all used together, or either by
itself, and with greater ease to both man
and team than many single implements.
In addition to the building of this imple-
ment and general line of improved farm
machinery, the Company will continue the
manufacturing of Chains, and the general
repair work that said John FitZ has been
engaged in for the last twelve years. They
will conduct the business strictly upon
cash basis, and all bills will be paid at
their head office in Baltimore.

PROVING A .CASE.

Beatrice" goes thusly FOR the ven-
cradle and solemn editor of the IN
DEPENDENT in the current issue of the
Statesman
"We often notice health journals
insist on reposing upon the right side,
claiming that it is injurious to lie on
both sides, but who ever saw health.
Ter set Of men than lawyers and not
long ago we heard one of them, es-
pecially noted for his truthfulness (?)
and witticism, discussing his case
of pink eye, when we caught this
from his eloquence Some persons
understand their cases better than
the doctors OF course that verifies
the statement above, for we are in
clined to believe that he is as wise if
not Wis(n)er than the editor of the
Health Journal"
Now, we admire the beauty, sweet
ness and vivacity Of our friend "Bea-
trice," and admire her admiration of
healthy lawyers, though, as she says,
they lie on both sides, and we have
no doubt the lawyers do and should
understand their cases better than
the doctors. But skillful, sweet and
vivacious Beatrice, we hesitate about
proving our position ain your case"
by relle(y)ing on fact to prove that
you sometimes understand "your
case" even better than the doctors.
Begging pardon, but please remem-
Der the case we saw at Charlestown,
the night of the barbecue. That was
an enviable case, Beatrice, in which,
according to our vision, some one
was wiser than either Wis(n)er or
the editor of the Health Journal.
Do you catch2 No flies on that.

TIA DEBT BUSINESS.

We thought we gave sufficient
grounds for our opposition to Mr..
Gettinger's resolution on the so call.
ed Virginia debt in our last issue.
The Statesman fails to see why we
differ, when the resolution is only an
offer to pay if any debt be found due.
In the first place, Virginia makes no
demand Of West Virginia, but lot
of holders of so called West Virginia
certificates do make demand. In
the second place, Virginia repudiat-
ed her debt and West Virginia was
not endorser thereon. In the third
place, Virginia issued those West
Virginia certificates without consul
tation or authority, and the holders
of them are simply keeping them in
the market by quasi admission to
pay, by such resolutions, If any debt
be found due. AS we said before,
let the holders 60 to Richmond and
not to Charleston for recognition.
