DUBLIN, Aug. 11.-There is little ex-

fairs, Dillon, who was willing at first
to be aggressive against Parnell, has, it is
said, almost concluded not to take a

Tools ~Bshiud-Au sunbury Excited over
tho Bold Attempt to Rob the Grave
No Trace of the Thieves.
SUNBURY, Pa, Aug. IA daring at
tempt was made early in the morning to
secure the remains Of the late Hon. J. 3.
Packer, at %Sunbury, but the fortunate
appearance Of a brakeman spoiled the
grave robbers plans.
The people are much excited over the
affair, and detectives are at work to Sc
cure clues in order to arrest tho guilty
ones. Soon after the Congressman and
millionaire remains were laid to rost
guards were placed over the grave to pre-
vent a possible attack by ghouls for the
purpose Of claiming a ransom for It's re-
turn. a week ago the family concluded
that there was no necessity for the guards,
and they were discharged.
The cemetery is opposite the lower
yard Of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
About 1 o'clock Brakem IL Myers was
walking down the tracks when he heard
the noise in the cemetery.
Listening attentiveiy he heard the rat
tie OF dirt and clicking Of picks.
He was startled for a moment, but
finally arrived Mt the conclusion that the
sexton, in order to escape tho heas Of
midday to prepare a grave, had chosen
the cool hours Of early morning to do
his work.
Not quite satisfied, Myers leaped over
che fence and proceed in the direction of
this noise. 1t WAS dark, and in walking
by a grave 80 feet from tho sounds
tripped and foil over a tombstone.
The fall made considerable noise, and
when he arose Myers was startled by
three men who ran rapidly past him and
into the underbrush.

The Ghouls Frightened.

The brakeman ran back to the railroad,
and calling several companions, once
more invaded the graveyard and found a
number Of pick2 and shoyols over the
grave Of Mr., Packer.
A foot Of earth was eXcavated from the
grave. No trace of the would-be body
snatchers could be found. Tho work Of
the ghouls was tho most daring thing
ever perpetrated in Sunbury.
Not twenty feet away train men were
working, but they failed to hear the noise
until Brakeman Myers gave the alarm.
When the news was flashed through Sun
bury the population was very much ex-
cited.
Although every effort possible is being
made to run down the m~arauders, the
officers have thus far been unsuccessful
In their work.

by rail. AS q travel center during the tourist
season the Zurich railway station is GER
tainly curious study. Aside from the fact
that about 40 trains come and 20 daily, one
sees there great and remarkable variety
Of nationalities represented among the
crowds of travellers, and hears i'll the course
of few minutes stroll through the thr0ng
perfect polyglot of languages.
- But ii Zurich owes much OF its recent
wonderful growth and popularity to its geo.
graphical position, much more does it owe
to its own enterprise in developing its own
advantages and surroundings. Many eXpe-
renced observers visiting the city for the
first time and noticing its commercial activ-
ity, the restless, almost feverish, energy
characterlZlng its population, its extensive
buildings, paldtial dwellings and colossal
public improvements, have pronounced it
any that they have seen in Europe. The
activity in building is especially noticeable.
Let one stroll through Zurich In any drec-
ton, the sound OF the spade, the hammer
and the trOwel are heard everywhere. 1t is
only few years ago that the new granite
quay nclosing the lake front before the
city was completed, at cost Of 100000
francs, yet already enormous blocks and
squares of stone dwellings, OF tasteful ar
chitecture and finished in princely style, are
going up along tue newly opened avenue
skirting the quay, and, in all probability, iU
will not be long before the entire
distance from the Zurich-Horn on the
one side to the Bellvoir Park on the other
will be built up with stately edices giving
the modern Zurich place among the most
imposing cities on the Continent. Foremost

past, the city has been more or less the re-
sort of famous artists and litterateurs. It
was here. on dit that Wagner first con-
ceived the idea of the great playhouse
BavaIian King at Baireuth, and it was
here that Able List found some Of the
most appreciative and warm greetings that
marked his long career of success. Nor is it
in the field of literature, music and art alone
that Zurich diSpenses instruction. Her
polytechnic school and university are we'll
worthy of a city that has furnished a Pes
taloZzl to the educational records of the
world. The students Of both sexes who
partake Of the facilities which these institu-
lions offer include representatives from
nearly every civilized nation of the earth.
One might 90 on, too, and speak of the.won
derfully thorough public-SchoOl system,
where love for the fatherland and the rudi-
ments Of a good education are instilled into
the minds Of the rising generation from their
earliest years. The writer remembers to
have seen no more instructive spectacle any,
where than public procession, given in
Hottngen, one of the faubourgS of Zurich.
last year, by the schoOl-chidren on the oc-
cason Of the dedication of a new school
house. Many hundreds of cOStumed chill
dren, boys and girls, little and big, were in
line, accompanied by their teachers, and
escorted by music. the entire procession
illustrating in well-arranged groups read
ing, writing, arithmetic, music, hiStory-in
short, every branch of study taught In the
Swiss schools of to-day. 1t was, in short,
an ambulant curriculum; a living menu of
the course of instruction served up daily in
the SchOol-houSes or educated Zurich.
And this brings me to speak of that inter-
esting feature of Swiss life, their open-air
historical professions and plays. The time
and study spent upon these, the care which
is taken TO render them, In point of costumes
and accessories historically accurate, and.
above all. their object namely. that of in
culcatng an undying love for the Father
land and of keeping alive the memories of
the sacrifices and struggles by which Swiss
independence was finally achieved-all these
tend to invest these displays with a dignity
and impressiveDess raising them far above
the level of ordinary amateur dramatic per-
formanceS. 1t must be remembered, too,
that the participants from the leading char
acters down to the hum blest supernnmerary,
are plain, everyday citizens or villagers,
who have learned their roles generally
under the coaching of the town school
master, or preacher, and who are yet proud
to play their parts and do honor to their
country. WHAT was my surprise after sit
ting whole afternoon on a board bench in
an open field, thoroughly fascinated by the
representation of stirring page from the
history of Zurich. to learn that the hero
of the play was personated by the

the new theater, spacious temple of
dramatic art, which is to be opened to the
public in October next, and which, in the
beauty of its architecture and the perfec-
tion of its details. takes rank among the
first theaters of Europe. Steps are also
TO be taken to build on site closely adjoin-
ing the theater a new music hall which will
not only be an ornament TO the city, but a
monument to the muSc-loving tastes of its
population. Nor is this all; Mt the western
extremity of the quay, the ancestral estate
of the Escher family, fronting directly on
the lake, is to be converted into park at an
expense Of 100000 francs by company of
prominent citizens who have organized
themselves for that purpose. thus ensuring
against the inroads of city growth one of
the most charming spots to be found on the
entire lake-shore.

Discovery OF a Plan to Destroy the Indus

About o'clock on Sunday afternoon last an
attempt by some Of the inmates to destroy the In-

Some one had kindled a fire IN clubhouse con
tainiHg a tank OF gasoline, but 1t was exlin-

productions of those worn by the Austrians
or Swiss during those memorable days; in
some cases, as for instance at the fifth CEN
tenary of Sempach. and Arnold Winkel-
ried's heroic death, which was celebrated
with so much effect as national festival
near Lucerne in 1886, many of the genuine
original flags and other souvenirs were used
In the representation, having been tempo
rarily loaned for the occasion from the yarl-
Gus Cantonal arsenals.
In such displays as this, Zurich is not be-
midland; she may even claim to lead the
van. Up TO within few years ago, it was
an annual custom, on the recurrence of the
spring local carnival day, known as the
"SechseLaeuten, Tor the various guilds,
which formerly governed Zurich but which,
in modern days, have come to be merely
social organizations, TO parade the streets in
costumed historical groups, or tableaux
WANTS, prepared with much care, and in
many cases at great expense. Though, since
1888, this custom had, so far as a united
representation by the guilds was concerned,
remained in allegiance. it has this year been
revived on scale of almost unequaled mag
ni6cence. Tile ten groups which are to CON-
pose the procession embrace various his
torieal pictures from the thirteenth, four
teenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as
for instance. Emperor Friedrich Ii and the
! Forest Cantons before Faenza, 1246," 'The
Nuptlals OF Jacob Won Cham with Verona
Wirzsof Erenbaeh and Waedensweil 1866,
and others. The preparations for this pa
gaent have been begun many weeks in ad-
vance, and the display promises this year to
surprise even the older Zurichers themselves.
Nor, before closing this allusion TO Swiss
open-air representations. should mention be
omitted Of the great national celebration of
the six hundredth anniversary of Switzer-
lands independence, to take place on the
first three days Of next August. The
ancient town of SchwyZ, on the Gotthard
Railway, will be the center of the festivi-
ties and plays. but il is expected that the
mass of those not able to attend the cele-
bration will, as spontaneous demonstra-
tion at home. inaugurate the festival on the
night of Saturday, August 1st, by what is
known as "Hoehfeuer," the Illumination
of all prominent accessible peaks from one
end of Switzerland to the other. Who would
not journey many hundred mile to wit
ness the magical effect produced by the
simultaneous kindling OF all these thousands
of beacon-fres of patriotism?
