DISTURB HIS GRAVE.
Andrew Jackson's Tomb Mo-
Tested by Grave Robbers.
A Trench Three Feet Long is
Dug.
DISCOVERED TODAY.
The Robbers Evidently Were
Frightened Away.
No Motive Known for the
Dissertation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2.-Informa-
tion is received here from Hermitage,
where General Andrew Jackson's re-
mains are buried, that his grave was
disturbed last night by unknown per
sons.
A hole eighteen inches deep and three
feet in length was dug at the head of the
grave, but the parties were frightened
away before they accomplished their
object. The Hermitage is twelve miles
from this city.
This place, which was the old home of
General Jackson, and where he was laid
TO rest in June, 1845, is the property Of
the state of Tennessee, and has been for
several years IN charge of the Ladies
Hermitage association The object of
this association IS to preserve the home
and relics of the ex-president
The remainder of the estate is used as
a home for confederate soldiers. The
remains of Mrs. Jackson. wife of the
general, rest next to those of her hus-
band, in a tomb prepared by him. It re-
sembles in appearance an open summer
hOuse-a small white dome supported by
pillars of marble. The tomb of General
Jackson bears the simple inscription:
General Andrew Jackson. born March
10, 1860; died June 8, 1872
The desecration of General Jackson's
grave was discovered at an early hour
today. and the fact was Immediately re-
ported to the Ladies' Hermitage associa-
ton.
A long plank was left 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 mile
from the Hermitage yesterday afternoon
and borrowed a shovel, which he re-
turned this morning.
" hiIe near the Hermitage he made
some inquiries about General Jackson's
tomb. The Ladies Hermitage associa-
tion officers are at a loss 10 know what
could be the object Of the persons who
disturbed the grave. There are only
three persons in charge Of the house and
grounds and they knew nothing of the
nocturnal visit.

dumb when the judge sought to extract
from him information as to the means

Their Place of birth.


Their Place of Birth.
Three lives were ushered into the
world at one birth this morning in the
family Of Mr.. John p. Archer, at ia
West Curtis street. North Topeka. They
are all girls, and when the reporter called
there he was informed that they had
fair chance for continued existence.
They are perfectly developed infants,
though small, weighing respectively 3,
81 and 4 pounds
The mother is SO years of age and has
three other children. the youngest being
six years old. The father is SO
years old. Both parents are natives Of
Russia, and came to America about two
years ago, coming directly to North To-
peka. 1hey have been married sixteen
years.
AIr. Archer speaks English very poorly
and an interpreter was necessary IN order
to carry on conversation with him. He
was little suspicious of the designs of
the reporter at first, but when he under
stood what was wanted, he seemed much
pleased He works for the Santa Fe, on
the section, and the family IS far from
being in aff1uent circumstances. Their
house is a small one story affair, and
affords little encourage to the recent
arrivals to grow.

evening of the murder. and which was
believed to be complete record of
Cesario's journey from Italy. giving the
name of nearly every one the prisoner
spoke to, etc, while on his way to Lyons.
Cesario only became interested in the

dead, as follows:
The murderer approached the car

and plunged the blade, sixteen centime-
tres long, up to the hilt, into the breast
Of Nj. Carnot, crying 'Vive la revolu-
ton"
This cry was only heard by the foot
man in the general confusion. When
CesariO dropped the weapon he cried,
'sVive Panarchie.7
When the reading was finished names
of thirty witnesses were called, and the
presiding judge, N. Breuillac, began to
question the accused.
The Judge first recited facts about the
family Of the prisoner, the latter answer
ing. "Just SO, sir; 1 never had a dispute
with any one"
Cesario's Morality.
The president continued; "How about
your morality"

ing slightly.

as an ascetic." said the judge, shut that

important to know whether you were re-

animation. Yes sir. I am respOnsi bic

Replying to further questions he said
that not one Of his family was or had
been weak minded.
The presiding judge then turned tc
the prisoner and said: ''Since your ar
rest did you write to your mother saying
that you killed the president from
anarchist motives Are these your
wordsG"
Yes replied Cesario with indiffer
ence.
The judge then recalled the fact that
Cesario had as child figured as a pose ur
in the religious professions OF Motta-
Visconti, his native town, for the beauty
of the prisoner as a child, was remarka-
