nation was received to-day from The
Hermitage" where General Andrew
Jackson's remains are buried, that his
grave was disturbed last night by some
unknown person or persons. a hole
eighteen inches in debth and three feet
in length was dug at the head OF the
grave, but the parties were frightened
away before they accomplish their 90,
ject. The Hermitage IS twelve miles
from this city.
The desecration of general Jackson 5
grave was discovered at an early hour
today and the fact Immediately report

A long plank was les;; lying beside the
grave. Suspicion rests upon a well
dressed negro for whom the authorities
are now looking. He went to the resi-
dence of a white man living half a mile
from the Hermitage yeserday afternoon
and borrowed shovel, which he re-
turned this morning. While near the
Hermitage he made some inquires
about Jackson's tomb.

nal operations extended over several
Western States, notably Montana and
Colorado, Ia 1889 he was arrested for
forgery at Washington, D. g., and SEN
