GREWSOME TALE TOLD IN
COURT.

William Coutts, former superinten-
dent of Nell Field Cemetery, Aberdeen,
Scotland, was charged yesterday with
violation of the sepulchre act and also
with perjury. 1t is alleged that he gave
orders for the exhumation OF bodies
buried in particular part OF the Gene
terv. These bodies were taken up by
his orders and reburied in holes in the
graveyard walks and other places in or
der to provide greater accomm odatlons
10 the cemetery. At the trial before
Lord MacL ,ren and n jury in the Scotch
Court of Sessions the room wore grew
some aspect, owing to the presence OF
quantity of coffin lids and pieces of de-
cayed coffina, which the court officials
handled in the most gingerly manner.
John Caithness testified that his wite's
podv was removed from ono grave to
another without authority. George
Caithness, father OF the last name | wit
ness, said the practice was that bodies
buried while there was room were re
moved when decsyed and buried in
Strangers graves He had often broken
up coffin containing only bones, some
times when the body had been buried
only nine years. If on opening the
c)fiiu he found the body had not de-
composed he reburied it decently.
Further evidence proved that graves
sold as empty were found when opened
to be filled with collins. A retired police
inspector told how he had seen por
lions OF flesh thrown up from grave in
which cotlins had been broken up He
distinctly saw flesh knocked oil the
bones by shovel and he bones of two
separate bodies mixed together. The
further hearing OF the case was ad-
innrned.

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 8. 1899

No MATTER what may be the YER
dict in the famous Dreyfus case' tue
case itself has been sad blow to the
admirers Of republican institutions In
all monarchical governments honor IF
the soul of the army, aud its strict OBJ
seryapce is as necessary as air Is to lie.
But whether Captain Dreyius be ac-
Quilted or convicted, hundreds OF
thousands of people will believe that
honor has departed from the French
army, under republican rule. 10 what
condition the honor OF the army OF this
country has fallen, under similar rule
may be estimated by the facts that
General Miles is its commandment cnlei
and General Eagau is still drawing the
salary of commisssry general.

THE number of members of the
G.. A. r, according to the late annual
report of the chief of that organic :
ton, is rapidly diminishing. but The
pension list, like grace, increases dsy
by day. All other things tluctuate,
but the pension list is on perpetual
rise. 1t will continue to be so as long
as the taxpayers shall stand the bur
den patiently, but when they shall
realize the grotesque absurdity of al
increase in the number of pensioners
thirtyfour years after the close of the
war, they may possibly object.

A DISPATCH purportiDg to come from
Richmond in q Washington newspaper
saws There is no doubt that the Nir-
einia democrats are becoming serious
" alarmed at their outlook and that
their leaders realize that their party Is
foreordaiued to more decisive defeat
than that OF OF 1896" That Philadel-
phia, New York, Boston and other far
away Northern papers should publish c-
correct statements about Virginia affairs
is not at all remarkable, but that q
newspaper in Washington, just across
the river should print such ridiculously
absurd gabble as the above, wou'd re
really remarkable if it had not become
customary for it to dc so

THE CONSTITUTION of this govern
ment was framed upon several car
dinal principles, one of which was
that there should be no interfer-
euce with the religious opinions of
any of its citizens. If it cannot in
terfere with the religion of its own CHI
zens, with what consistency can it in
terfere with that OF alien people in dis
tant lands; but, all the same, Mr. Nc
Kinley says the Filipnos must be
crushed" in order that they NAV
have the benefits of the Christian re-
ligon thrust upon them.
