REMAINS
OF JOHN
PAUL JONES
Place In Paris Where They Are
Said 10 RspOss Can Be
Easily Located.

Paris. Nov. So.-The report cabled from
the United States that congress has act
ually voted money to transfer Commo-
dore John Paul Jones body to the United
States creates vast interest in the neigh
borhood where lie the remains OF tho Am
erican naval hero.
This correspondent stood yesterday over
the exact spot where. according to the
best authorities, the body was buried In a
leaden coffin.
II lies under the floor OF Nine. Dunap's
photograph gallery. No. l Rue des
Ecluses- Saint Martin, and No. AZ Rue
Grange aux-Belles, near the Canal Saint
Martin.
Nine. Dunap said:
MY husband died n year ago and, un-
fortuna tely IL an excavation Is to be
made here, renewed the lease. However.
am perfectly willing that the body
should be disinterred. but, as said, do
not own the property.
Formerly cemetery extended beyond
the limits OF this gallery and OF the wine
shop which forms the corner During the
Revolution bodies were buried on the
right and left OF this spot where we are
standing Finally the cemetery was filed
and they began 10 use the court at It's en-
trance for interments So Commodore
Jones body, having been one OF the last
10 be buried. should be right here"
At the words Nine Dunap tapped the
floor with her foot Then she continued:
Several times the floor has caved In at
this spot. proving probably. that a deep
or excavation was made under here than
elsewhere IN the cemetery. The commo-
dore's In said TO have been the only leaden
coffin i'm the cemetery. so IL should be
identified easily. The man last In charge
OF the cemetery died only two years ago
at Suresnes.
"He always indicated this as the spot
whore John Paul Jones was buried. and
he insisted that n the body should not be
well preserved the bones OF the head
would surely reveal the Identity. for
Jones' head was almost twice az large as
an ordinary mans"
A portrait OF John Paul Jones looked
down from the wall while madame talked.
II represents an individual OF fierce as
pect, whose head certainly was OF abnor-
NAL size.
Nine Dunap says a plan OF the ceme-
tery exists which indicates the exact To-
cation OF Jones grave She has forgotten
the name OF the present possessor OF the
plan
But surely II the United States govern
ment wishes 20 transfer the boSy II
should be able 20 ind Il easily enough.

Philadelphia, Nov. 30--A secret con-
vention OF officers OF the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Firemen OF the lines OF
the Pennsylvania railroad Is in session
here today. About - delegates are IN
attendance.
The firemen have asked for the same
pay under the new. schedule OF nine
hours a day az they received when they
worked 10 hours. Coferences with of
ficers OF the railroad have failed 20 pro-
duce any result. IL is thought the fire
men have called the delegates together
20 consider the question.

There Is, however no clue to the perpe-
traitor of the deed, although It Is thought
to have been the work Of some person
whose mind was temporarily deranged
from an overdose OF intoxlcants.
A trail In the light snow was discovered
leading from the back door OF the build
ing which was unlocked. and might hive
afforded a clue TO the residence OF The
miscreant. but for the fact that the work
OF some over-zealous amateur detectives
completely oblterated tho foot prints.
The authorities. however. are hard at
work on the case.

The flames were discovered about 3
o'clock having started In a room In the
rear OF the building. Prompt work speed
jly extinguished the blaze, and all the
patients were removed from the building
within very short time. The damage
20 the building was slight.
A great amount OF Kerosene was found
10 have been sprinkled about the room
,n which the fire had It's inception, and
no doubt exists that the ere was Of IN
incendiary nature.

A Visionary Scheme.
Democrat.

The scheme for the national GO
vefnment to pension ex-slaves is
one of the most visionary that has
misled the negroes of the South
since the time when they were
beguiled into belief in that "forty
acres and mule" fraud. Many a
sharp scoundrel in working the
last named scheme extracted the
hard-earned dollars of the credu-
lous blacks, and three is little
doubt that some persons have
made money by collecting SUBJ
