GRAVE ROBBED,
WOMAN IS BODY
IS Pill FERED.
PENNSYLVANIA CITY STIRRED BY
BODY sNATcHING IN FAMILY
OF LATE CONGRESSMAN; MAY
BE HELD FOR RANSOM.

Erie, Pa, Feb. Body snatching
that may equal the daring grave rob-
berry that stirred the country more
than quarter of century ago, when
the body of A. T. Stewart, New York's
pioneer merchant. was stolen. has
stirred this section as nothing has
done since the sensational kidnapping
in this vicinity few years ago.
The .mausoleum of one of the promi-
nent families Of this section of the
state was desecrated some time be-
tween Monday and this afternoon.
The body of Mrs. McCullom, q sister
in-law Of late Congressman William L.
Scott, is missing from the family
vault. The police. of neighborirg
cities and communities within 400
miles have been notified of the crime.
The discovery was made by two wom-
on walking through the Erie cemetery.
The police believe the body is being
held for ransom and that the vandals
also intended to carry away the
bodies of the millionaire and his wife.
When the women in the cemetery
found broken chains and open doors
in the mausoleum they notified Mrs.
Charles H. Strong. who is a daughter
Of MIR. Scott and the wife Of Charles
H. Strong, president of the Erie and
Pittsburg railroad and owner OF the
Erie Dispatch morning newspaper,
Mrs. Strong notified the police.
The caskets are sealed in wall, and
a chisel Ind been used in breaking the
seals before the metallic box contain
ing the coffin of Mrs. McCullom could
be carried away.
The seal on the niche containing the
casket of Mrs. Scott was also broken.
and when the tomb was examined it
way out and to all appearances was,
ready to be carried away. The. re-
mains of the millionaire were lying
next to those of his wife but MS
casket was not disturbed. A number Of
palms stored in the mausoleum had
been broken down and two other cas-
kets were broken into, but no at
tempt was made to carry either Of
them away.
That the casket and the body was,
carried away in wagon is indicated
by tracks in the snow about the mauso-
leum. The foot prints of four and in
some instances six men are discern
ible The wagon tracks lead to one
of the gates of the cemetery and these
were followed III the streets until lost
in the beaten tracks of travel.
William Scott, WHO built the maNso-.
leum over twenty years ago was q
close personal friend of the late ex-
President Grover Cleveland and was
one of the leaders of the democyacc'vs,
in the house Of representatives when
Cleveland was serving his first term as
president OF the United States. Grover
Cleveland was one the Dallbearers at.
his funeral, his remains being the first
to be inferred in the vault. He was
one of the most prom1ent railroad
magnates Of his time and was. known
by reputation from coast to coast

.HObBLE BURIAL
GOWN At LAST
MUTE ROBINSON SAYS DEMAND
is HEAVY FOR THE NEW
NOVELTY.

The hobble burial gown is the latest
and first display of the new novelty
was brought to Ottumwa by Mute r.
Robinson Of independence, Kansas,
representative of St. Louis undertaK-
ing supply firm, who is calling on MS
Ottumwa trade today. Besides the mop
BILE skirt>in burial gowns, MI. RoDlnson
has the stylish Princess dress also
made into burial robe, and ne says
the demand for the goods is SO heaVy
that his house is rushed In filing Or
ders. b.
Fifteen or twenty years ago the
people wanted to be buried IN as pam
costume as could be made, but they
are changing, and now they desire 10
be buried in the latest styles, sald
Mr.. Robinson. Recognizing this, our
house got busy and Immediately set
out to furnish in burial gowns what
the people of today were wearing.
When the hobble skirt came-Out I'M
mediately set about to produce the
much talked of and extensively worn
skirt in burial gown. When told my
customers on the road that on my next
trip around I would show them the lat-
est creation in burial gowns IN mop.
Bile skirt, they laughed. They only had
to see the costume to fall in love with
1t and by the large number OF orders
the company receives, you can see that
the hobble burial gown is being de-
manded by the public. My wife as
sisted me in originating the hobble
gown and the princess skirt. Another
burial gown which am having a large
sale on, is an exact replica of the white
dress worn by my daughter when she
graduated from the Independence high
school. The demand for goods shows
that the public want to be buried IN
iathe latest style of dress. We make the
gown in seven different colors and
they are so completely made that If a
woman desired to be the envy OF all
her neighbors she should come out on
the streets attired in our hobble burial
gown. We make our mems clothing In
the latest style, with vari-colored
vests and cravats and the demand for
them is as great as the hobble gown

Mayor Opposes Paving. - Mayor
Mueller has decided that he VIII not
sign the resolutions for new paving
which were passed Wednesday night
until he had found out the condition
of the paving fund. He viii refuse to
sign the resolutions If it is found that
1t will be necessary to certificate the
cost Of the intersections and the ex-
cess. 81 am not favorable to this plan
this year." stated the mayor, "as 1t in
creases the floating debt Of the city
when there is no immediate need Of it.
If the paving is badly needed it would
be a different matter. but with this
city having almost double the amount
of paving Of any other city Of its size
in the state, / can't see the need of
running into debt for new paving.
Under the certificate plan we have to
arrange for the payment each year to
retire the certificates which come due,
and this cuts the appropriation down
at a frightful rate, If the figures which
have been shown me are correct"
careful investigation of the needs of
the paving and the condition of the
fund will be made by his honor before
he does anything with the resolutions
