MIllionaire,s Grave Robbed.

William s. Ladd, millionaire, died
in January, 1898, and his body was
buried in Riverview Cemetery, at
Portland, Ore. Over che grave
was placed board bearing the dead
mans initials, marble monument
ordered by the family not having been
completed. One of the cemetery en-
ployes noticed that the grave had been
disturbed. Mr.. Ladd's sons were mott
fed and the grave opened. The catket
was there but the remains had been
removed. There is no clue to the iden-
tity OF the grave-robbers. The only
motive that can be assigned is the hope
of obtaining money for the return Of
the corpse. In all probability, however,
no reward will be offered.

Durhnt,s Last Chance.

Theodore Durant's attorneys have
exhausted every other means to save
the neck of their client and have again
appealed to the supreme court, this
basing their motion for stay of exc
cution upon alleged errors on the part
OF Judge Bahers, at the time of his
passing sentence upon tho convicted
murderer at San Francisco. The main
point relied upon by counsel for the
appellant is that Judge Baher refused
to grant Durant's motion for o post
ponement of his sentence, or permit
OF his offering additional testimony.
1t is also claimed that the court erred
in having ordered that Dnrrant be con-
fined at San Quentin until the date set
for his execution. The authorities are
confident that the appeal. will not in
terfere with the execution.

a silver Scar MARKS enc spct.


The spot on the balcony Of the Ala
bama State capitol upon which Jeffer-
son Davis stood when inaugurated,
thirty-six years ago, as president of the
Confederacy of the Southern States,
was marked Thursday afternoon, at
Montgomery, with elaborate ceremo-
MES by the Society of the Daughters
of the Confederacy. A handsome ~
inch silver star was imbedded in the
stone flooring of the veranda as per-
manent record of where Mr.. Davis
stood. A procession consisting of a
large body of veterans, the State mill
tary, State executive officers the city
officers and officers Of the society,
marched to the capitol at 6 o'clock to
the music of bands. Gen. John w.
Sanford, of Montgomery, an intimate
friend Of Mr.. Davis, and who stood
near him at the Inauguration, presided
over the exercises and denoted the spot
upon which the president stood. Gen.
Sanford related the circumstances Of
the Inauguration, insisted that the
Southern people had nothing to apollo
gise for N their action, and paid q
ringing tribute to Davis, saying among
other things: ''If we were rebels,
then to rebel is right; if Jefferson
Davis was traitor, then treason is the
highest virtue" Miss Matte Henry
Tompkins. of Montgomery, delivered
the star to Gov. Johnston, who, being
an old Confederate veteran, received it
for the State in graceful speech, ex-
tolling the virtues of Mr.. Davis and of
the Confederates. When the star was
set the ladies covered it with piles Of
roses.
