A STEANGE STORY.
An Account of the .Recovery of A. T
Stewart's Body.
New York, Oct. 29. The mas
tery which has so long enveloped
the' fate of the body of the mill
ionaire dry goods dealer, Alex. T.
Stewait, forms the subject of :i
chapter in superintendent "Wnll
ing's book which is soon to be
published. The ex superintendent
professes to give only a true story
of the stealing of the body, and al
leges that the body was subse
quently returned to a. representa
tive of .Tudcrc Hilton. The re
mains were buried in St. Mark's
churchyard, corner of Second ave
nue and Tenth street, in an under
ground vault, the on trance to
which was covered by a flagstone,
which in turn was sodded over
level with the surrounding sur
face, so there was no outward evi
dence oi its location.
After the theft of the body the
first clue came from Gen. Patrick
H. Jones, ex-postmaster of New
York, who notified Walling that
an ex-soldier, who had served un
per him, claimed to know some
thing about Stewart's body, and
with proper encouragement would
give informntion leading to its re
covery. 1 he superintendent sub
mitted the offer to Judge Hilton,
who declared he would never pay
one cent for Mr. Stewart's bones
unless they came accompanied br
the thieves in irons.
Gen. Jones, a few days later,
gave to the police a package ex
pressed to him from Boston, con
taining a coffin-plate, which was
identified bv the engraver who
had done the work. To complete
their identification the robbets
sent a piece of paper that fitted
exactly a hole in the velvet cover
of the coffin, cut out by the thieves
when the body was removed.
Judge Hilton remained unalter
able and the case was dropped by
the authorities.
In January, 1882, Gen. Jones
called at headquarters. He
brought a parcel which contained
the silver knobs and several of the
handles belonging to the coffin in
which body had been buried. He
also showed some letters which he
had received, They purported to
have been written in Canada, and

were signed by "Henry G. Ro
maine." One letter, which con
tained the piece of paper, promised
if further proof were required to
tend the coliiu plate, upon the in
sertion of err tain personals in the
New York Hem hi. This was
done.
Under date of Boston, January
31, 1S70, a letter came, saj'ing the
plate was sent from theic to avoid
the scrutiny of custom officials on
thd Canadian border. The plate
was received and identified.
Gen. Jones was instructed that
in case the relatives were ready to
negotiate for the remains to insert
this personal in the Herald:
"Canada: Will do business.
Counsel." This was done at Judge
Hilton's request.
The reply which came from
Boston on the 11th of February set
"forth the terms upon which the
body would be restored. They
were as follews: First, the amount
to be paid shall be 200,000; sec
ond, the body will be delivered to
yourself and Judge Hilton within
twenty-five miles of the city of
Montreal, and other persons shall
be present; third, the money
to be placed in your hands, or un
der your control, until Judge Hil
ton is fully satisfied, when j-ou
will deliver it to my representa
tives; fourth, both parties to main-
rain lorevcr unbroken silence in
regard to the transaction.
Judge Ilillon refused to arrree
to the terms proposed, and further
declined to negotiate through the
medium of personals. "Roumaine"
soon ordered Mr. Jones to break
off all communications with Judge
Hilton and opeu negotiations with
Mrs. Stewart. No notice was ta
ken of this request, but in March
Judge Hilton made an offer of
25,000 for the body. Gen. Jones
made the fact known to "Rou
maine," who respectfully but firm
ly declined. This closed the cor
respondence. The robbers, becoming discour-
( aged, now offered to selllthe body
lor SlUU.UUU. Mrs. Stewart was
willing and ordered her represen
tatives to pay the amount. They
delayed matters until the figure
was reduced to 20,000, whiclfwas
accepted.
The conditions of delivery were
severe. A messenger with the
money was to leave .New York

hoice, and not being obliged to lay
city at 10 a. m., alone, in a one
horse wagon, and drive into West
Chester county, along a lonely
road, which was indicated on a
map sent by the thieves. Some
time before morning, if the man
was acting in good faith, and was
not accompanied or followed by
detective-, he would be met and
given further directions.
A young relative of Mrs. Stew
art's undertook the hazardous task,
and was met by the theives, and
after the money was delivered and
certain forauties earned out, the
body was delivered to him. Next
night the bodv was conveyed to
the cathedral. An empty coffin
had already been deposited in the
cathedral. At dead of night two
men transferred the bones to it
from a trunk. They then placed
the coffin in an inaccessible vault
beneath the dome.
If any one should again touch,
unbidden, the vault which holds
the bones of the merchant
millionaire, the touch would re
lease a hidden spring, which would
shake the chimes in the tower and
send an instant alarm throughout

THE HOW OF IT.
About every 4 or 5 days I am receiving direct from the manufacturers new goods
in the following lines, which are sold to me at the lowest inside figures on the samo
terms as all such, goods are sold to merch'ants. That is, regular time according to
the lines, some are 30, some CO, some 90 days, and mostly all 4 months, and at times
of longer periods, subject to the discounts if paid any time between time of purchase
and the titui the bills become due. Goods now days are mostly sold direct by manu
facturers, quantity cuts no figure whatever, and the merchants who MEET
THEIR DILLS PROMPTLY, and IN FULL WHEN DUE, are the ones who vcan
put forth any claims as to being one of the most or only reliable business houses in
any city, (providing all other things are equal). And whereas the patronage of an
appreciative public (with my stylo of doing business )has enabled me to discount n
great deal of my bills since starting (June 1, 1887), and meeting EVERY bill
promptly when due up to the present date, I can safely and truly say that I buy
and sell my goods as low as they are legitimately bought and sold on the Prcific
