GHoULs AFTER LOwELL's BODY.

Americas nlustrious Poet.

Americas lllustriou5 Poet.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
CAMBRIDGE, MASS, Oct. 13.-The com-
munity was thrown into a state of excite
ment to-day by rumor that an attempt
had been made to steal the body of James
Russell Lowell, which lies buried In re-
mote spot Of Mount Auburn cemetery.
A careful investigation shows that while
no actual attempt had been made co desc
crate the grave, a number of incidents have
occurred during the past week which tend
TO show that the report was not without
foundation. that deliberate plans to steal
the body Of the poet had been made.
There can be little doubt, judging from
the fact that trio of suspicious characters
the object Of whose visit was probably the
Lowell lot, were seen hurriedly to leave the
cemetery at a late hour last night. Several
men have been seen the last week lettering
about tbs Lowell lot studying apparently
every detail Of the surroundings.
The actions OF a short, well dressed man
middle-aged and a younger companion
who we're seen about the grave aroused tho
suspicious OF the cemetery officials.
An air Of mystery surrounded their
movements. When not engaged making

THE MOUNTAINEsR'S JOKE.
An Interesting Little War Story tina
Concerns Kentucky brlRadier.

An Interesting Little War Story that
Concerns Kentucky brlRadisr.
From the Chicago Times
It has always been a question whether it
was Gen. Basil Duke or Gen. Vincent Mar
maduke who was the victim of the Ken
tucsy mountaineer's joke during the "late
unpieasautness.n This question has been
mooted at among raconteurs as is the char
acter of the observation made by the gov
ernor OF South Carolina to the governor of
North Carolina. Col. sid" Jones Of Chi
cago says he had it from North Carolinian
who was there, that the governor of
South Carolina said 10 the governor Of
North Carolina. Governor. l am dry
Thereupon the governor Of North Carolina,
with the dignity and impressiveness of a
true southern gentleman, made his histori-
cal remark: Governor, 1t is long time
between drinks.n
Col. "Sid" Jones has always maintained
that it was Gen. Basil Duke who was the
victim Of the Kentuckian's joke At any
rate, both be and Gen. Vincent Marmaduke
we're pompous little men, who wore their
brigadier epaulets with conspicuous vanity.
lnasmuch as Gen. Basil Duke was the
smaller Of the two, probably Col. Jones is
right in selecting him as the real subject of
he story. 1t was when the guerilla Nor
gan came through Pound Gap into Ken
lucky aud seized the railroad thst the
story is placed to the credit Of Gen. Vincent
Marmaduke, and it was at the close of the
war, when the Kentuckians in the southern
army were coming home, that it was at
tributed to Gen. Basil Duke. The latter IS
the more likely Of the two, for the soldier
who would affront either of the two gen
erals before he was safely mustered out
would undoubtedly nave received summary
punishment. TIE cars were crowded with
soldiers, the officers having a passenger
front door appeared a lank and ungainly
baud Long Tom" rife with his finger on
the trigger.
"Beg pardon, gents he said, IN stento-
rian voice, ~ want to know if Gen. Basil
Duke is yer7"
There was no answer. and the officers
looked at one another and at Gen, Duke,
who, it is said, turned pale, but made no
reply.
Again the voice Of the stranger rang
through the car:
els Gen. Basil Duke yerp
Every eye was turned upon the doughty
little general and he could stand IL no
longer. He sprang to his feet aud in a
tragic but apprehensive manner thumped
himself on the breast with his elinohed fist
and said:
"Yss, sir: am Gen. Basil Dukem
well don't be skeart, sonny; I'm Just
goin' 10 snap kyap,n shouted tue ranger.
After a moment u impressive silence a
roar Of laughter won't through the car that
brought the color back % Gen. Basil Dukes
face aud made him champ bis teeth With
Whrhorss rage.

WARES NEW COURT HOUSE.
An Inter sting Letter from Hon. J. L
SWEAT on the Suhiact

An Interesting Letter from Hon. J. L.
Sweat on the Subject.
WAYcRoss, GA. Oct. 16.-The following
is an extract from letter read at the lay
ing Of the cornerstone Of the new court
house yesterday, received from Hon. J. L.
Sweat OF the building committee. 1t is of
interest TO the citizens of Ware county:
In locating the new court house as nearly
in accordance with the request of the grand
Jury as was found practicable, the clock
tower will stand facing the center Of
Gordap, Church and zap streets, with
all the land of the old court house
square preserved to the county, the fire risk
and insurance rate decreased, and with a
sufficient open space left around the build
ing to permit the laying out OF circular
drives and walks connecting with ell the
streets extending up to the court house
square. The old buildings have been sold
and removed from the additional land
bought by the county and danger
from fire from that source removed,
and this land, as proposed by the
committee, will be utilized for the benefit
and accommodation of TIE people, especially
jurors, witnesses, parties, and others COM
ing from the country in their private con-
veyances, by providing suitable shelter
within the Enclosure Of the same, for their
stock, vehicles. etc., rs well as water closets
for the public. and whenever the necessities
require it, the extention or erection Of other
public improvements can be located
thereon.
TIE cornerstone is composed Of clouded
crystailized limestone, weighiog about half
a ton. and highly polished with drove
margin. The following is the inscription,
carved Ia Egyptian black letters:

of the cemetery; whether the cemetery was
patrolled at night by watchmen; where the
tools were kept, etc.
A copy Of a Boston newspaper contain
ing an account of the Lowell obsequies, and
giving the exact location of the grave, was
picked up by an employe near the Lowell
lot. A paragraph giving the location of
the grave had been carefully marked with
a pencil There are a number Of other
circumst ances of suspicious nature which
have recently occurred that helped to keep
the officials in q state OF constant alarm, as
the cemetery is left unguarded nights.
shortly after IL o'clock last night Wa
tertown farmer, driving to market through
Coolidge avenue, met a two-Seated demo-
crat wagon being slowly driven back and
forth in front OF the easterly gate Of the
cemetery, the only occupant of the vehicle
being short, thick-set man, apparently of
middle age, closely muffied up in an ulster.
The collar reached nearly to the brim of a
large, soft felt hat which hid his features
completely from view. The farmers suspi-
cions were aroused at the strange vehicle
and Its occupant, who appeared anxiously
awaiting the return OF some person or per-
SONS, as he occasionally cast furtive glances
in the direction Of the cemetery. Several
times the farmer noticed the team brought
TO a dead staudstill, as if to enable the
stranger to listen and watch more intently.
After proceeding several hundred yards
the market man, being OF an investigating
turn Of mind, dismounted at the turn OF
the hill. Securely hitching his horse he re-
turned short distance on foot to where the
movements OF the stranger could be
watched with safety.
Stsaoning himself behind telegraph
pole be patiently awaited developments. He
bad not long to wait, and his vigil was re-
warded by seeing three men scale tho fence
and jump into the team, which was hastily
driven in the direction Of Watertown.
The grave OF the honored poet was found
undlsturbed this morning, although the soil
In several places plainly showed the marks
OF freshly-made footprints.

AN HEIR FOUND IN PRISON.

How a Jealous Rival Wrecked a
Southern Home.
PITTsBURG, PA, Oct 10.-The heir to
over 81 100000 has been found in the west
ern penitentary in this city, and there is
brought to light a romance in real life, the
details OF which are seldom surpassed by
writer's of fiction.
Early in the sos an actor, whose stage
name was st. Reyn, but whose real name
was James Edwin Ryan, became stranded
with his company 10 New Orleans. He had
the good fortune to rescue wealthy Cuban.
Louis d'Amboise, and his daughter Edith,
an only child, from deadly assault by two
villains
In the struggle St. Rayn was severely in
jured, and the D'Amboses nursed him back
to life.
The young people fell in love; but the
father demanded that the daughter marry a
cousin, Harry Leigh. She refused.
The lovers eloped and were married, and
the father forgave them.
st. Rayn frequently absented himself
from home, which circumstance was taken
advantage Of by the discarded lover, Horace
Leigh, and the latter conceived a scheme
for getting even.
AS result D'Amboise and his daughter
were led to believe that her young and
handsome husband was unfaithful.
A separation ensued, and D'Amboise ana
his daughter, with a child that had been
born to the girl, went back to Cuba.
Leigh was soon after taken sick, and on
his death bed
HE CONFESSED HIS DECEIT.
The father and daughter also soon died,
leaving an immense property to st. Rayn,
who, after years search, was discovered
to be an inmate of the western Pennsylva-
MIA penitentiary, convicted of a crime that
had never been committed.
In his wanderings after his separation
from his wife, st. RaYn worked at Jean
nette, Pa, and became known to several
people there. The efforts to trace him
brought the agents of the estate in contact
with reporter for Pittsburg paper, who
aided them in discovering the identity of
St Rayn, or rather Ryan.
Efforts are now on foot to have him set
free on habeas corpus proceedings. Bss-
com and Lyn, of New York, have the
pace in the case.
Your correspondent went TO Riverside
penitentiary, where he found that James
Ry an, or j. Edwin Ryan, alias St. Rayn
had been sent from Westmorelapd county
about eighteen months ago for au offense
which ne holds proofs, his attorneys claim,
had never been committed.
Without any prompting he told the story
OF his marriage, and gave, without SUCCESS
tons, names, dates and facts which corrob-
Grated the romantic story of bis life and
prove him to be the heir to the D'Amboise
fortune.
Developments show that the separation
from her husband actually hastened Mrs
st. Rayn's demise, and it was even said
among her friends that she died of q broken
heart.

BRITISH RULE MENACED-
Nations in India Growing Angry-The Vice.
roy Alarmed.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Calcutta advices state
that the viceroy is much alarmed by the sullen
tone Of the native populace, who have been
particularly aggressive Of late. The age Of
consent law is said to be The chief foundation
for popular anger. 1t is interfering with the
customs Of the Hindoos more than was a. first
expected, and several husbands have already
been prosecuted for taking child wives home
under the legal age. The priests are especially
angry at the bill, which tends to deprive their
order Of certain old-fasbioned privileges The
lack of cohesion among the natives is the
strongest factor in making successful rebellion
almost impossible. At the same time MANY
Europeans claim that British rule in India Il
really IN danger. owing to the rash
course Of the viceroy both in domestic
affairs and IN the severe punishment of the
leaders in the Manipur insurrection. The
rulers OF the feudatory states Of India are said
to feel uneasy in consequence of the way in
which the royal family of Manipur was treated.
and they are asking each other what the fate
would be Of any other Indian prince who
might be driven by intolerable tyranny
into armed resistance against British
authority. The hanging Of the Senaputty was
especially offensive TO the Hindoos that being
considered most disgraceful form Of execu-
tion,a although England has not formally an
neked Manipur, the state is to remain virtually
within complete control by English officials.
ALL these circumstances 20 to influence the
Hindoo mind and make it receptive of disloyal
sentiments against Great Britain.
