The Washington story alleginga scheme
to turn South Carolina over to the popu-
lists, told in the MORNING News dispatches
yesterday, cannot be given ready credence.
Gov. Tiilmau is the master of the political
situation in South Carolina and no move
or change by the dominant political ele-
ment there can be made without his con-
sent and assistance. And Gov TiIman
has always asserted that he is a demo-
crat, and that his fights have been made
within the Democratic party. 1t is true
the line Of demarkatiou between the
democracy of some Of South Cardinals
officials and the populism of Mary Ellen
Lease could not be discovered with
microscope; still the state is in the demo
cratic column and Gov. Tillman will
probably see that it stays there.
Following the denial that Senator Hill
will take the stump in Ohio in behalf of
Mr.. Neal comes the report that he will
indeed, make number of speeches there.
But there will hardly result Hill presi-
dental boom from the Ohio campaign,
unless the senator should be able to ex-
plain away his recent actions in the
Senate,

The Norristown, Pa, prison author
tiles have prepared for the tramp
season by having ton of pig iron hauled
into the prison yard. Every tramp
caught in the city will be put in prison
and forced to carry the iron pigs from
one side Of the yard to the other and back
again from sunrise to sunset. 1t is well
enough to provide the tramps with some
thing TO do, but why should their labor be
wastedl A tramp under competent
driver makes a very fair road builder.
Nobody is going TO kick because the
House republicans have gone to tilibuster-
ing against the passage of federal cleo
tons repeal bill. 1t was expected that
they would resort TO such proceedings
What the people are kicking about is the
tilibustering tactics adopted in the Senate
by senators of whom the country ex-
pected better things The election laws
are a party question. and a fighJ on them
Is the logical thing; but honest money is
not party question. and there should be
no delay in repeating the silver-purrhase
act.

Practical Honesty.

On Thursday the 25th uitimo, while
Mr. VIM. II. Reeder, we'll known farmer
of Zion in this county, was delivering a
load of straw at Harry Mahoney's near
Leslie, he dropped his pocket book con.
tanning sixty dollars. A few minutes
afterwards on purchasing barrel of
lime at the warehouse he discovered his
loss. Going to North East be advertised
it in the North East STIR. o. the same

an honest man, he returned the lest book
to Mr.. Reeder. who tended him tie

The Keystone Suspension Fence.

The cost of fences to farmer, has
come to be a serious question i'll the
economy of the farm. Year after year
posts and rails are growing scarcer, and
therefore higher in cost, and the stern
demand of the hour with the thrifty
farmer, is for an economical and durable
fence. AS against other peoples cattle,
he does not require any fence. The law
will protect him against them. But to
prevent his own cattle from trespassing
upon others, he must have bOundry
fence of some kind. What fence is best?
That is the question. Best, in toe sense
of being stock proof. durable, slightly
and requiring moderate outlay of
money. In the face of the claims of
dozens of other kinds, Messrs. J. W. and
S. Hambleton of Rising Sun, answer the
question unhesitatingly and unequivo-
cally, and say the Keystone Suspension
Fence.
! There is no question about the merits
of it. 1t has been demonstrated by
actual experience and competitive tests,

BODY STOLEN FROM A GRAVE.

| How the Remains of Mrs. Josephine Dean
Were Taken From Lombar Cemetery.
and Removed to Oxford.
To what extremes family fueds may
lead otherwise sensible people, is well
illustrated i'll case of novel body
snatching that occurred recently at
| L0mbardy cemetery near w lmiDgton
Del.
On May IA Mrs Josephine Dean, aged
A years, the wife of Jacob II. Dean, an
employee of the Seidel and Hastings
Company, living at No 907 Shallcross
Avenue in that city died, and on May II
she was buried in LON hardy Cemetery
about one mile outside OF the city limits.
| According to the burial permit Mrs.
Dean was the daughter of Thomas and
| Ruth Woolens.
The father Thomss Wooleps went to
that city and wanted his daughter buried
in the family lot at Oxford, Pa; The
husband and the father were not on
good terms and the husband refused.
The burial was therefore made in The
Lombardy Cemetery.
On Wednesday night after Charles
JONES' the superintendent OF the cemetery
had retired and presumably about mid
night some one drove to the cemetery
IN wagon for the purpose of removing
the body OF Mrs Dean. The wagon was
hitched at the edge of the woods adjoin-
ing the cemetery and those with the
| wagon climbed over the fence and pro
ceeded to open the grave and to remove
the body. Around the grave a sheet
was spread. Ga this the dirt from the
grave was placed so as to leave no
marks on the ground. The case and
casket containing the body were then
removed and placed in the wagon. The
wagon was driven to Oxford Pa, where
the body was inferred on Thursday
afternoon. The people who removed the
body replaced the dirt in the grave and
could not have been told that the body
| had been removed. They even went
so far as to replace on the grave glass
containing flowers which had been left
there since the funeral. A wreath of
| flowers was also replaced.
1t was not discovered that the body
had been removed until Saturday when
MIR. Dean received a letter from
friend in Oxford announcing that his
wite's body had been reinterred at
Oxford. An investigation was then
made and resulted in Mr.. Dean having
issued warrant for the arrest of his
father-in-law.
Mr.. Woolens the father in-law is a
Wholesale grocer in Wyoming territory
and it was not known exactly where he
is at present.
Harry Emmons president of the
Lombardy Cemetery Company, ex.
pressed regret at the happening of the
affair. AS it is a family matter the
company would prefer to see the hus.
band prosecute the case but if he does
not, the company in order to protect itself
and its lot holders will be compelled to
prosecute.
1t is possible that the body of Mrs.
Dean will be taken back to that city for
interment again.

MASSEY ON SUNDAY OPENING.
Correctness OF the Delaware Com
missioner's Position.

How Following Events Demonstrated the
Corrsctness of the Delaware Com
missioner's Position.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 30.-Sunday
opening at the Worlds Fair proved
failure the paid admissions being some
what less than those of Saturday, about
IS, 200. Every effort had been made to
arouse the Sunday openers and get them
out, but it failed. Between 100000
800, 600 paying visitors were expected.
Most of the morning papers acknow-
lodged that it WAS q failure and the
general prediction is that the Worlds
Fair has been open it's first and last
Sunday.
The position OF Delsware's commits
sioner, George V, Massey, on this ques.
ton has never been in doubt, and has
been consistent throughout, And the
result proves its correctness. The re-
port which he made as chairman of the
judiciary committee on this subject was
acknowledged to be very complete and
exhaustive, and it was his last act as a
member of tho committee, he resigning
as a member OF the judiciary committee
Thursday tho 18th inst. He gave as his
reasons therefore that the commission
had either failed to act upon or reverse
the recommendations Of this committee
in two out of its four formal reports, and
he could not fail to take that as a notifi-
cation that the commission ought to have
others on the committee who would act
more in harmony with its wishes.
There were dozen members on their
| feet at once. protesting against the
acceptance of his resignation and asking
him to recall it, bus he told the members
| of the commission that while he had not
shade of feeling In the matter yet he
had fully made up his mind and it was
final. Every argument was made to
him by the commission between that
time and Saturday, but without avail
when they accepted his resignation and
adjourned until July LIST.
| Subsequent events proved the correct
ness of Mr.. Massey's position first, upon
the Theodore Thomas music question
and now upon the Sunday opening
question.

A LOVERS WILD FINANClERING.
Marriage Boon Inflated so Highly That
1t Bursted.


1t Bursted.
Under the above caption the Philadel-
phia Record of Friday contained the fol
lowing relative to the alleged financial
operations of Mr.. Walter l.. Alexander
late of North East in this county.
CHESTER, PA June LIST.
"On the eve of marriage with young
lady of good family III that city, Walter
L. Alexander, a reporter on the Chester
Times, engaged in questionable financial
operations to keep creditors off, and is
now missing. BY his pleasing address
he made a wide circle of frierds, a score
of whom, at least, hold checks drawn on
Chester bank, where young Alexander
had no account. They cashed these
checks for varying amounts.
To maintain his representations of easy
financial circumstances, evidently, Alex
ander negotiated for new $4,000 house,
bought clothes for himself, presents for
his betrothed and her relatives, and con.
tracted for costly household goods
When his creditors pressed for pay
ment he borrowed right and left even
from the Sheriff; then as the chase grew
hot gave checks. To day he left town
when his alleged crookedness became
noised about. TIE prospective bride
is heartbroken. She is a Sunday school
teacher and Alexander is member
OF st Paul's Episcopal Church, Chester,
and the brotherhood of St Andrew"
Walter L. Alexander above referred
to is son of II. s Alexander news
dealer and iron worker of North East
and highly respected man. His son
Walter formerly worked Oh the North
East Star. About three years ago he
went to Philadelphia, and afterwards
ran a newspaper in New Jersey, finally
becoming ii reporter on the Chester
Times While living in North East he
was highly esteemed being a member of
the Episcopal Church and President of
the BroJherh God of St. Andrew He
frequently visits North East, and was
seen there on Thursday afternoon and
evening We hope for the sake of his
relatives i'll this county that the above
story is exaggerated aud that Alexander
may clear himself of the alleged charges.
