executed. There it remained until
February, 1859, when President John
son gave Edwin Booth permission to
remove it to Baltimore, Md, where
1T now repOSes in the Booth lot in
GreenmOunt Cemetery.
After receiving permission from the
President to remove his brother
body, Edwin Booth ordered a Balti-
more undertaken, ]. H. Weaver, to do
the work. w. H. Speare at present
an undertaken at $40 F Street, drove
the furniture wagon that brought the
remains of the assassin to the alley
in the rear of Ford's Theatre, almost
to the very door from which he start
ed on the night of April IA, 1865.
The wagon backed up to the door
of the stable that Booth had formerly
used. The box was somewhat decay
ed, but the lettering on it was legi-
bic. When the box was opened and
the body taken from the army blan-
ket which enshrouded it, it was seen
that four years had brought decay
The skull was detached, and, when
lifted out, a dentist identified his
work, thus proving the identity of
the body beyond doubt.
Edwin Booth, who was in the front
office of the theatre, was Informed Of
the identification of the remains, ex-
pressed his satisfaction and directed
Mr.. Weaver to take the body to Balti-
more. A plain coffin was taken out
to the stable, the remains placed In
it and taken to Baltimore.
The following letter shows the final
disposition of the body of the assassin
of Abraham Lincoln:

MRS. SCRIBNER'S
WILL MAY BRING
OUT A CONTEST
Admitted to Probate
Daughters Have Not De-
cided Whether They Will
Protest.

The will of the late Ida Scribner
Slime who made her youthful second
husband, John Slime residuary legatee
of the estate, was admitted to pro-
bate this morning. Attorney George
E. Hill appeared for the two daugh-
tiers of the testatrix and although he
entered no protest it is not decided
whether or not an appeal will be
taken. Attorney Hill said this morn
ing: II appeared as a matter of form
and my clients have 80 days to deter
mine whether they will appeal or
not. The daughters are Ida Scribner
Hall and Bessie Scribner Downs, both
of Philadelphia.
The indications are that John Slime
will received anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000 Of the $4,000 estate left
by his wife. The daughters by the
first husband who each receive a
tenement house in East Bridgeport as
their shares find that one of the
houses is mortgaged for $500 and
the other for $4,000.
George Scribner who receives the
interest of his mother in the Scrib-
ners' Co. is apparently satisfied with
the terms Of the will.

CITY MAKES
GOOD DICKER
WITH BRASS GO.

SIT always pays not to be in hur-
ry, when a corporation wants some
thing of the city, said Alderman
Eugene I. Meyer. today, in speaking
of the bargain that is likely to be
ratified between the city and the
Bridgeport Brass Co., under which the
company will get permission to fill
in the landward half of the slip be-
tween its property and the city yard
on Heusatenic avenue, and in return
will build the city a wharf 112 feet
long across the front of the yard and
will bulkhead 200 feet of the slip,
namely one side and the end.
The original proposition of the COM
pany was to build the city wharf
and fill in the entire Slip of which
the company owned half and the city
half. The Harbor committee refused
to accede.
An election followed and the COM
pany renewed it's offer, the negotia-
lions for the company being largely
conducted by Guy P. Miller, who in
the meantime had been chosen alder
man from the Fifth dstrist. The
agreement was substantially consum-
mated at the meeting of the commit
tee last evening.
