4 THE PROPANE TOMB, Anxious Search for the Body of sf. Stewart. THE POLICE STILL MYSTIFIED os Innumerable Clews That Lead to Nothing. MIDDLETON MR. VISITOR. ‘The reports in circulation about Police Headquarters when the HemaLp went to press yesterday morning to the effect that the remains of A. T, Stewart had been traced, proved to be premature. Another day of unwearied activity on the part of the police force bas passed without revealing (so far as known to those not in Superintendent Walling’s ronfidence) anything further that would indicate the identity of the miscreants or the place where they have deposited their sacrilegious booty. Judge Hilton and the Superintendent are still flooded by every post with letters, all containing alleged clews and theories more or less plausible. Many of these epistles come from distant purts of the country, show- ing the widespread and intense interest felt in the tase. As might be expected, these communications are, for the most part, wholly worthless, coming from persous of more imagination than experience. Super- Intendent Walling slights none of them, however, a8 he is unwilling to lose the possibility of gaining even the slightest hint that may be of value. Nota single line, however, has thus far been received which would seem to be of the least se: in the search, INTERVIEW WITH SUPERINTENDENT WALLING, In the course of a protracted conversation with Su- perintendent Walling yesterday that official said that at least a hundred commnnications had been made to the police by people who thought they had important tlews in their possession, but when once investigated their discoveries turned out to be no clews at all, He was then asked whether the police had a glew which would probably lead to the recovery of the body and the capture of the thieves, and replied that he could not say as to that. “What cause is there, then, for Judge Hilton’s ap- parent satisfaction, as reported in yesterday’s paper?” “Judge Hilton was here this morning,” Mr. Walling replied, “and he told me he read the papers with sur- prise, and that nothing he had said could bave prop- erly led to the inference that the body had been dis- rovered,” “There is a report afloat that the police have traced the thieves to their den, and are now watching “That is another absurd story. If we had doneso and one of our detectives had given it away in this manner before we had caught them he ought to have been kicked over the East river and never allowed to come back. Your own judgment ought to have told you that such a statement would never have been inade detective who is on the case.” |, then, in speaking of the many un- founded rumors which had obtained circulation, re- culled the Charles Koss case, and alluded to the numerous false reports which were spread almost daily at that time as to alleged discoveries of the boy an‘ capture of the thieves. “Do you believe, then, that this will be another Charles Ross case, so far 4s the police fiasco is con- cerned 7” “[ do not mean to say that. I think the body will the thieves that is an- De recovered. As to gettin, Othe matter. Suppose you had the thieves right be- fore you—how could you prove that they went into thet graveyard and took the body? Nobody saw them and no jury would convict them without some e as to their guilt !”” ME. TALMAGE AT THE CHURCHYARD. The churchyard which was desecrated continues to attract throngs of curiqns people, the feminine ele- ment in the groups that all day long hang about the place gazing through the fron railings and pointing out the location of the profuned tomb. The centre of attrac- tion is naturally that portion of the fence adjoinin, the house on Tenth street where the body was lift over as shown by the telltale oozings from the horrible burden, Amoug the visitors to the spot in the forenoon, was a gentleman who was pointed out as the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn. He was sccompanied by a lady and seemed intensely jnterested, although he made but a brief sojourn. Those who marked tl reverend gentleman's presence indulged in specula- tions ag to whether Le will not enunciate a new the- ory of the crime. At the marble mansion erected by the departed millionnaire, at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street, it was aunounced that Mrs. Stewart, the aged widow, felt somewhat better, and had pretty well re- covered from the first shock caused by the i fvent. One of the iumates of the house, who ia iucom- ‘munication with Mrs. Stewart, stated that he believed the whereabouts of the remains had been discovered, He refused, howe) » give any details. It is said that Judge Hilton, at Mrs. Stewart's request, will in 4 few days raise the reward to $50,000 in case no farther discoveries shall be made, It is also reported that the clause making the payment of the reward conditional upou the conviction of the offenders will be strieken out. A REWARD BY THY CITY. ding members of the Union Club, of which Mr, art was a member, express surprise that th ‘or has not offered any reward either for the re- rovery of the remains or for the discovery and con- viction of the guilty parties. These gentlemen, it is aid, will eet him to do #o in case it should not have been dome within afew days, Mr. Stewart they reason was one of the most promineyt and respected merchants of this city— ive merchant of the country—and paid immense taxes into the city treasury, and the city should take some official action in regard to this outrage upon society as well pes. ® decent courtesy to Mrs. When en to about the oring a reward hag not before come to my mind.

If any gentle- neu from the Union League Club or any other asso- tion think that the city authorities #hould offer an widitional reward to that of Mra, Stewart I shall be bappy to hear any statement from them, avd no doubt the Beard of Aldormeu will authorize such a reward if I have not the power to do #0.” JUDGE KULPON AT POLICK HRADQUARTERS.

At Forty-ninth street they passed down to Fourth avenue, crossing the bridge, aud thence to Third avenue, into which they turned. They took a down town train on the Elevated Railroad at the Forty-seventh street station, and left the cars at the Ninth street depot. Directly after reaching the sidewalk they passed into a dining saloon under the Astor Place Hotel, After remaining some time they came out and were seen to enter ahouse in the immediate vicinity of St. Mark's Church yard, THE SEXTON’S DEFEN Hamill, ‘The sexton, esenp agaist who consider- able suspicion has en @irected, not onty emphatt- cally denics that he was in complicity with the ghouls, but brings forward many influential mem- bers of St. Mark's Church who vouch for his integ- rity, In answer to a reporter yesterday, he said:— “Can you conceive of any reason under heaven why terested in such a crime, except that T was financislly emberrassed?

Tt has been stated, but not on authority, that Judge Hilton had employed private detectives on the case and was working independently of the authorities at headquarters. ‘The Pinkertons, it was stated, lad charge of the case, but a visit to their agency yester- day afternoon brought out the statement from the manager that they “had not taken any part in the search for the robbers, nor have they becn asked to,”’ ‘THAT “COMPANY” AGAIN. ‘The following letter is given for what it is worth, and as ne, paged to aformer cool communication of the kind:— To tmx Evrrox or If Mrs. A.

A COMPANY, Novemper 11, 1878, HK BLACK BAG STORY. The informatién lodged with the police of Brooklyn by agentleman relating to a man who was seen on Saturday carrying a heavy black bag in bis arms through Montgomery street, and which led the police to think that the remains of A. T. Siewart had been: taken to Jersey City, was yesterday explained. The bag contained one-half keg and one-quarter keg of powder, and had been purchased from. the Hazard Powder Company by Michael Bubser, a lock and gu& smith, doing business at No. 5 Newark avenue, Jersey City. Mr. Bubser. said last night to a ' HERALD reporter that the bag was of heavy black rubber and measured about three feet in length by one and a half in width. He did not think it strange that the a] ce of the man with the bag aroused the sus- pe haga ~~ — once he had been followed sev- eral miles ce officers while carrying » similar bag in ‘broad Eaylignt. od A HOAX IN NEWARE. Some foolish person or persons caused not & little excitement in the business centre of Newark yesterday by reporting that Mr. Stewart's stolen remains had been found in_ the orchard of Jabez Hayes, near Baier's Park “‘on the hill” in Germautown. Large numbers of people visited the place indicated, but only to find themselves the victims of a silly hoax. A CHURCHYARD EXCAVATED. A few years since great excitement was caused in this city by the transformation of a church near the corner of Amity street and Wooster into. a stable, and Mr, A. T. Stewart was the purchaser of the ground and was making the improvements from what is now known as West Third street to West Fourth street, the main walls being on Wooster and the entrance on Amity or West Third street. George P. Fox, a venerable gentleman of No, 47 West Third street, has lived in the same house for neatly thirty years, knows the history of nearly every man, woman and child in the district, and had the distinguished honor of being the tailor of the great constitutional expounder, Daniel Webster. Mr. Fox said yesterday:—‘I remember distinctly the time Mr. Stewart bought the old church property. The people were shocked when they heard he was about to turn it into astable, yet they had no idea the graves would be violated, It was not long, how- ever, before they were undeccived. A fence was erected about the grounds and the workmen commenced digging and excavating for # foundation, and it was not long before the bones sod skulls appeared and were carted off—heaven knows where! There was at this time great indignation and crowds ot people as- sembled in the vicinity, expressing their indignation. If may memory serves me aright authorities were appealed to, but without success. At length the in- dignation of those who had friends buried in the old churchyard became eo great that a riot we threat- , and the police were called to the spot aud drove the vi y. Then the work went on and Mr. A. T. Stewart's stables were completed,” ‘A well known plumber of West Twenty-eight street said to the writer:—“I was doing seme work for Mr. Ammerman, who is the agent for a num- ber of estates, when Mr. Stewart purchased the church property. It was at first understood that the cemetery and burial grounds should remain un- touched, but as soon as possession was given the work of excavation began. I happened to be at work in one of the buildings overlooking the churchyard, snd to infinite disgust beheld bones and human remains dug up and carted off with the dirt and débris of the churchyard. Of course it is a matter of histo: the indignation this desecration of graves caused, ani itcan only be properly reealied now in view of the lamentable disturbance of the remains of Mr. A. T. Stewart.” “LOOK AT YOUR MOTHER'S ARM.” THE EXPRESSION THAT CAUSED THE DOCTORS’ RIOT IN NEW YORK CITY NEARLY A CENTURY AGO—SEARCHING THE COLUMBIA COLLEGE MEDICAL, SCHOOL POR DEAD BODIES. ‘The removal of the body of A. T. Stewart recalls the Doctors’ Riot, which took place in this city in the year 1788, Previous to that year the system of “body snatching” had not prevailed to any great extent. The graves of negroes were, indeed, opened, and in a number of instances the bodies interred therein were ruthlessly dragged up, to be used by medical students in the dissecting rooms of their colleges. But at that time nobody thought much of the poor colored man, and so the practice continued. During 1787 and 1788, however, the students seem to have let the bodies of their col- ored brethren rest, and instead of taking them they stole the remains of respectable white people, male and female, who bad been buried in private grave- yards, many of them being interred in the old Trinity burying ground. The medical men of Columbia Coi- lege were particulariy rapacious in this work of de cration, but it was done so skilfully that outside of the college authorities probably no one was aware of the traffic that was going on in human remuins. HOW TAE TROUBLE BEGAN. At Inet, however, whispers began to be bruited about in relation to the practices of the students, but so great was the faith of many citizens in the sacred- ness which has always been attached to dead bodies that the stories would probably never have been be- lieved but for a very simple incident. It seems that in the early part of May, 1778, a party of boys were playing in the rear of tie Columbia College Hospital, which was surrounded on almost every side by grav- elled walks and green ewards. A student in the col- lege, who was looking at the boys, called to one of them to climb up on a ladder that was leaning againet the wall. When the boy did so the surgeon took up from @ table uear by a stump of a beautifally rounded arm, and, dangling it in front of the young- ster, said, in a half joking manner, “Look at your mother’s arm, sonny,” and then closed the window. The boy, whore mother had but recently been buried, was for a moment filled with terror, but when he had recovered his presence of mind he immediately ran to where his father was working, which happened ty be near by, and told him what the student had said and what he bad seen. The father set ont for the grave of bis deceased wife and had it opened. body was gone. Who could have taken it but the’ person who had so ruthlessly and remorse- lessly wounded the feelings of his son? Almost choking with sw weed rage and indignation, the outraged husband gathered a crowd of workmen to- gether, and aa they marched up to the medical éol- lege they rent the air with their oaths end impreca- tions. Cries of ‘Death to the body suatchers!” and “Out with the doctors!" were mingled with shouts of indignation and approval. The noive served to draw ont the anthorities of the efty; but before any sto could be put to the’ proceedings of the mob, which seemed to be tairly boiling with rage, the college had been geached and the contents of the dissecting voor isd been carefully scanned. The finding of of two apparently freshly dug out bodies served to incense the mob beyond measure, and furious onslaught was made on all the valuable collections contained in the college. At last, however, Mayor Duane, Recorder Hichard Varick, Sherif Bo, Jobu Jay, Bare nm, Who was then in this e citizens arrived at the seene of entreaties the mob war di vl, Such of the students as had fi hands were Placed in jail for sate ping. ‘This seemed to satisfy the rioters, and no more trouble waa anticipated by the authorities.

All their actions at this time denoted thorough org: ‘as they ap- pointed committees to make exami of particu- r buildings and received their rts with every tatistaction. ‘The authorities: of the State and city were present, and the Governor, the Mayor and the Chancellor made suce: to the feelings of the mob and urged it Some of the riot- ers were much impressed by the arguments used by the authorities, and left the scene of the riot, but the bolder spirits, seeing their power for misebiel, kept the remnant well in hand and were deaf to all ev- treaties. The lawless men proceeded to tie jail, in which were confined a number of the students of the college, and, despite the presence of a body of mili- tury that had as @ last resource been called out, hurled stones and other missiles at the authorities who were present. Baron Steuben and Jolin Jay were both bit, and the latter was wounded pretty severcly, Iu ail there were probably about twenty-five or fifty soldiers on the spot, and as they marched through the surging mass.of ex- cited men they were met by derisive laughter. Finally they were surrounded aud their muskets taken away from them, Thus disarmed, they scattered in all di- rections, Reinforcements of troops now began to arrive, and as they took their stand, directly in front of the jail, their glistening bayonets served for an instunt to quell the spirit of the mob, But the timid manner in which the Mayor had acted served to reassure the rioters, and they charged upon the building, tearimg as they did so the iron pickets off the fence, which they used in endeavoring to reach the windows. DEFENDING THE JAIL, ‘The keepers and others within the jail, knowing what their fate would be if they fell into the hands of the mob, fought with desperation, and were seconded by the military, who now began to drive a portion of the @rowd back. A long line of troops was seep marching upon the flank of the rioters, but they were grected with shonts of defiance. Brickbats and paving stones were buried at the advanci soldiery, and many of them were seriously hurt. When the commanding officer saw that it would not do to adopt any child’s play with the mob he gave the order in a low tone to fire. Bat one volley was not sufficient, for the mob was not blanched with fear as their comrades fell dead beside them. They rather assumed a more threatening look, and it appeared to be evident that more blood would be shed. Another volley was poured into the crowd, and almost @ quarter of the rioters were killed or wounded. ‘his had the desired effect, for the mob with loud yells fled in every direc- tion and the street was cl of all but the dead and wounded, The students in the jail were liberated, and some of them were nearly dead with fright. Al- most every medical student in the city was sent into the country for abrief period, and old Columbia did not open her doors for nearly afortnight. A age number of physicians also fled from the city and i not return until the excitement had died away. This riot so impressed the medical students that from that to the present desecration of the remains of A. . Stewart no known case of body snatching has ever taken place in this city, The determined stand taken by some of the authorities was the only means Ri guelling the riot, which at one time threatened to a general insurrection. FRAUDS BY A BARONET. SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR'S IMPRISONMENT. [From the London Standard.] Sir Horatio Henry Wraxall, baronet (on bail), and George Roskell Crawley, thirty, clerk, were indicted at the Central Criminal Court for conspiring to ob- tain goods by falwe pretences; they were also indicted uponsix counts for obtaining money. Mr. Donglas Straight and Mr. Baggallay prosecuted for the treas- ury; Mr. Purcell defended Wraxall, and Mr. Grain represented Crawley. It was alleged by the prosecution that the prisoners carried out their frauds by means of the “South Afri- can Trading Company,” and whose offices were represented as the manager, but who this gentleman was did not appear. ‘The prisoners advertised for a manager to go out to South Africa, The applicants were req to pay ® deposit, which was to be re- paid when the people were on board the vessels, Mr. Rophey, landlord of the premises No. 157 Strand, said he let his offices to the prisoners. Wrax- all said he was connected with the Stock Exchange. Witness was only a carpenter and did not know much about the Stock fare that it was # re- table calling. (Laughter.) Wraxall did not say that he was a baronet, or he should not have taken him in. (Renewed laughter.) He should bave made furthe uiries about him had. be @aid he was baronet. (Alaugb.) When the prisoner came to take the office he unfortunately agreed to take his rent fortnightly und had never received any. ‘The witnesses who had been defrauded were then examined. From their evidence it aj that in some eases tho applicants had sold their furniture and property preparatory to leaving to fulfil their en- gagements in the South African Trading Company. ir. Grain stated that he was unable to resist the evidence against his client, Mr. Purcell pointed out the discrepancies in the evidence as atfecting his client. ‘The jury found Crawley guilty of obtaining money, and both guilty of conspiracy. Ins xaid that since 1967, when Wraxall came into his gio, he bad been continually connected with sham companies. He was so connected with the Scotch Plate Glavs Company, the Tradesmau's Bauk, the Merchant Joint Stock Bank, and other concerns, all of which were swindles. He used his address, Bolingbrook Park, for the purposes of the fraud, and ‘was one of the original directors of the company with which Walters, Murray, Kurr and the others were connected. The prisoners were severally sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment. THE NEW STEAMER ST. JOHNS. ‘The new iron steamer St. Johns, recently built for the Charleston, Savannah and Florida line, was lying alongaide pier 43 North River yesterday afternoon, open to the inspection of the public. The St. Johns came from the Delaware Biver about week or two 540, where she was built by Harlan & Hollingsworth, of Wilmington, and has since received her furniture, upholstery, carpets aud crockery from proiinent New York houses. She is a paddle-wheel steamer of 1,100 tons, drawing seven feet of water when loaded and built in the strongest possible manner, 60 as to be thoronghly seaworthy, as well as adapted for river navigation. Her route lies from Charleston to Palatks, on the St. Johns River, touching at Savan- pah and Jacksonville. Her dimensions are aa fol- ‘Leng’ low th, 260 feet; beam, 38 feet; beam over all, 66 feet; diameter of cylin 66 inches, with a 12-foot stroke. She hae been built for speed and ex- pecta to make from eighteen to twenty miles an hour. On the main deck, aft, is the dining saloon, purser office, pantry, smoking room and plenty of deck room for carrying oranges and other freight. The main saloon and cabins are on the deck above, and it is rare to find any veswel fitted with such commodious pleouing apartinents. There are ten cabins coatain- ing full size beds and two parlor and bedroom suits quite as large aud comfortable as might be found in 4 first class hotel. The 8t. Johns will be commanded by Captain Vogel, late of the Dictator, who has been a com- |. wander for twelve years, has never lost a vessel and has assisted in saving sume three hundred lives. The Captain will be accompanied by the well known col- ored pilot named Uncie Dan and a crew that have been with him ever since be took command of the Dictator. The St. Johus will probsbly start to-mor- row for Charieston, and with good weather expects to mike the run in forty hours. ‘The trip to Florida hereafter promises to be very pleasant, as the new spears to Savannah, Gate City, City of Macon, City of Columbus and City of Savannah, will ali connect with the St. Johns, HOW WAS HE INJURED? A sailor who gave his name as George Lorenzo was admitted to Roosevelt Hospital on Sunday night last and assigned to a separate tent because he said be be- lieved he was suffering from yellow fever. He had just eome from Southern port, he said, where he had been sick with the epi- demic, When he applied for admission to the hospital he was accompuuied by one Nathan Lorenzo, the proprietor of asailors’ boarding house, The pa tient lingered until five o'clock yesterday morning, when he died. A ost-mortem examination of lis body showed that all the organs were ina wealthy condition and that the man had died of 9 fractured skull How Lorenzo received this fatal injury is aot known: but the pro- retor of the sailors’ boarding house expreswes hia belief that Lorenzo was murdered. He says that on Jost Thursday, after sighing an agreement to ship te China, Lorenzo left his house and did not retarn for acouple of days. When he came back his shirt was covered with blood and he appeared to be very ill. He grew rapidly worse, and, as he was too poor to pay ‘a doctor, went to Roosevelt Horpital.

Quite a large number of owners of fast horses who “go the road” witnessed the race. The first heat was taken by Lady Farrell by one length in 1:23, but when the second heat came on MéMahon let go of Lady Fisher's head and turned the tables on Lady Farrell by winning the next two heats and race handily in 1:22, and 1:21.
