LINCoLN'S BODY MOVED.
II Was Placed i'm n Temporary Re-
eciving vnn1t Until ths New
Monument is Completed,

Springfield, ILL.,, March 12.-After a
lapse of "a years, during which time
they have lain Theoretically sealed
and buried beneath a half dozen feet
of solid concrete, the remains of
Abraham Lincoln were removed Sat
urday afternoon from the crypt of
the Lincoln national monument and
transferred to a temporary vault of
the monument knoll.
The removal of the body was made
necessary by the demolishing of the
monument preparatory to its recon-
struction. For this purpose the last
general assembly cf Illinois made an
appropriation of 100000. The work
of dismantling has been going on
throughout the winter, and Friday
the large force of worllmen came
within touch of the burial casket.
The ceremonies attending the trans
fer were informal State Treasurer
Public instruction Bayliss, represent
ing the present board of trustees of
the monument, were present and wit
messed the removal of the casket in
their official capacity, and the Lincoln
Monument association, The Lincoln
Guard of Honor, and the G. A. r.,
we're also represented. None of the
relatives of the dead president were
present.
When the cedar box containing the
metallic casket was exposed to view
it was found to be in bad state of
decay, and in few years more it
