BREAKING A CORPSE.

Columbus O., Sept. 2S.-Six China
men from Mount Vernon and Columbus
obtained from the authorities at Green
Lawn cemetery yesterday TO disinter
the bones of four celestials and pack
them in boxes for shipment 10 China.
The usual weird religious rites were &C.
LIBERATED and the collins dug up. Three
OF the Celestials were gathered and de-
posted in the boxes, but when the cas-
ket containing Nee Lung was brought
TO the surface the Celestials were sur
prised TO discover that it was apparent
ly perfectly preserved. There was no
visible decay. and Mr.. Lung retained
his tawny color. The Cinnamon had
brought three feet of box for five feet
of Mr.. Lung. They made several des-
perate attempts TO break the body in
two by bending 1t, but il was unyielding
and they threw il hard against the
ground. without reducing ii to sections
These efforts proving futile, the men
divided into two parties. and tried TO
pull Mr.. Lung TO pieces. A limb gave
way at the knee before the head pulled
of, and the man who held the limb
went backward TO the grass at the
same time that man with a severed
arm fell to the ground. The severed
limbs were thrown into the box The
SelestialS toon an evident delight In the
work, as Nee Lung was a convert to
Christianity. After a series Of long
pulls the head was severed from the
trunk. The clay was the color OF flesh
In life, and one superstitious Celestial
fled in evident terror from the uncanny
scene. The bodies will go via San
Francisco.

IS THIS THE FIRST?

Fairlee. VT, Sept. 2S.-Beneath the
waters of Morey lake. at Fairlee, VT, it
is alleged, lies the first steamer ever in
vented. Lake Morey is pretty sum-
mer resort, sheet Of water two miles
long by one wide, and about seventy
feet deep in its deepest part. Captain
Samuel Morey, after whom the lake has
been named, was the inventor Of the
craft.
Captain Morey was born in Oxford,
N. H., in the year 1862, and later on
moved to Fafrlee. where he possessed
considerable real estate in the vicini-
ty of the lake. Accounts of his life
show him in each instance to be a man
Of great ingenuity and enterprise. He
was at times actively engaged in the
lumber business, and at one time he
UNDERSTOOD the project OF digging a
canal from the fake to the Counecti-
cut river. n ~.
The deed was not accomplished, but
traces OF the work can still be SEEN
During his life he devoted great deal
OF ms time to experiments in heat,
light and steam, but his most ambi-

of their issue Is out of the question. It
has already been decided In the Fenian
cases and in our war Of 1858. Aside
from the universal sympathy in this
country for Cuba, which would result
in the purchase by the people of many
millions of bonds if they were made of
small denominations-a purchase that
in great many cases would not be
inspired by the spirit Of gain, but by
the hope OF aiding a noble causethere
are sufficient good reasons from a bus

Win Sl-VtU,tUU the war would not
last six months: for, added to our own
funds, we would have more than enoug
to arm our land forces and buy cruis-
ers which would annihilate Spanish
commerce.
1T is fair to estimate that our per
cent bonds will be quoted at time of
issue about the value OF the Spanish
securities, less. say 80 per cent; it would
require $50, 000, 900 TO cover the sum need
ed. These s20,000,000, all the money
which Cuba with her unequaled nation
al wealth, would be responsible for,
could easily be repaid at par in five
years, together with the interest. And
what Will give more prospect and Sc
curity for idle American capital than to
offer them. for instance. a certain su-
pervision in our custom houses, or con-
cessions, such as the building of the
many railroads necessary to develop
the interior of the island, the construc-
ton Of docks, the dredging of ports,
the canalization of our rivers, the work
ing OF mines, the contracts for our ma
val department, and above all. as a
natural consequence, the current of
untrammeied business which would be
opened between the two countries, a
current which Spain has tried to devil
ate toward Europe against this country
and the opening of what will become
a principal market for American manu-
facturers? In short. without even the
bonds, it would be the greatest step
which capitalists in the United States
could take to furnish Cuba with these
which would be compensated
afterward by constant and sure gain"

Mr. Marsh all Replies to Crow her

hr narsnAl hSplleS 10 SFO" Nuers
To the San Antonio LIGHT:
In answer to Mr.. Crowther's re-
ply TO tax payers" / can only
say, that he is over hasty in de-
Tending his teams or the men
working under him, l had an idea
that as he was an officer of the city
that it was his duty to hook after
the interests OF the city; tnat is
what he is paid salary for. But
1t seems from his own statement,
that his business is to look after
| the interests of the teams in his
EN- ploy. The difference between
$7S and $50 per mouth for teams
does not interest him.
He says that during the month
of August, he worked 80 teams
1914 days, each team receiving
$32 95, amounting in all to 81 1853 80
Now my proposition to furnish IL
teams at $50 per month per team
would have amounted to Az days
work at $3.50 90.
During the month OF September
Mr.. Crowther says he worked 70
teams Bio days at an expense of
1915 90. My proposition for IL
teams at $50 per month would be
$4,000 for Az days.
Now our tax payers can figure
out this problem to suit them
selves. In a conversation with
Mayor Elmendorf, l stated that If
IL teams were more than the city
could use for steady work would
put on II teams, or more.
The rainyday talk don't amount
TO anything. The question is. does
the city want to save money,at the
same time have its work per-

pears to have been exceedingly un-
fortunate during the past six
months, in the administration of
the affairs in connection with the
command Of the army. In his last
ride around the circle, a number OF
incidents occurred that might have
been avoided and could have been,
had good counsel prevailed, but it
was otherwise. Instead of retiring
from long, active career with the
good wishes of the entire army, 1t
is doubtful whether commanding
general ever left the service carry
ing into his retirement so many
personal enemies among the army
officers as General SchOfield.
The party sent to examine and
survey the Devine ranch with a
view to its adaptability as target

what the report will be.
Captain Lytle, quartermaster,

The leave of absence of Captain
Lytell, quartermaster, has been ex-
tended seven days more.
In his annual report for the cur
rent year the judge advocate gener-
al OF the army refers to the de-
crease in the trials for desertion by
court martial over the previous
year, and this decrease is asserted
to be due to change in the law
reducing the amount paid for APP
