The National Export Exposition

The National Export Exposition
at Philadelphia was formally opened
at noon yesterday. Hundreds OF
distinguished visitors were on the
grounds from all sections OF the
country. The opening exercises
we're success, and were witnessed
by some ten thousand persons. The
exhibits were not all in place yes
tcrday and hundreds of workmen
were working away with all their
might and main to get things in
ship shape. It is thought that by
the latter part OF next week the
Exposition will be in a shape that
will be worth seeing. 1t will take
several days to see the exhibits as
they should be. Several OF our
Wilmington firms have creditable
displays that will uphold the fair
name Of our city as manufacture
ing centre. Twenty-Five cents
would be enough to pay for admls-
zion and the management would
take in more money than at so cents
admission.

TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY.


Mrs. Baltzor's Dead Soldier Boy Waa
Buried in Two Cofnns.
Chicago, Sept. 15.-Pigeon holed
among the records Of the war depart
ment at Washington, it developed yes
terday, documents which may establish
the lost identity of Private Ernest
Baltzer, of the First Illinois volun-
teers. who died in Cuba last September
and whose supposed remains are le-
gally buried twice in Graceland ceme-
terry. According to Sergeant Frederick
C. Walther. who went to Washington
to solve the mystery, If possible, and
who returned yesterday, this paper,
which is part Of the report Of the gov
eminent commission for retaining
American dead Of the Spanish war. is
said to indicate positively that por-
lions Of the corpse of Ernest BaltZer
are in each of the caskets buried side
by side in Graceland under his name;
that the head and trunk of Private
Baltzer occupies one coffin with the
lower limbs of regular named Mum
ger, whose remains had been buried in
the same trench near the field hospi-
tai of Santiago.
The second coffin contains the re-
naming portions Of both bodies. Thus,
it appears, it was not the identity, but
the remains themselves that were con-
fused when the bodies were returned
from Cuba, enc Of the caskets being
brought here under contract by Chi
cago undertaken, the other by the
government commission six months
later. Sergeant Walther also discov-
cred that the report that there was
third body buried in Arlington GENE
terry under Baltzer's name was an
error. Mrs. P. p. Baltzer, the mother
of the dead Illinois soldier, will. 1t is
said. employ expert osteologists to ex-
hume the bodies and articulate the
bones In the two cofllns, in order, If
possible, to reunite the portions of
