A well knowSj resident of southern Ohio, speaking a few days ago of the past life of President Harrison, real ized probably the most tragic event in the history of the Harrison family, an event which fired the country with indignation and dishonored the name of the Queen City, a deed so foul and revolting that the mind shrinks from its contemplation the desecration of the tomb of John Scott Harrisbn, the son of the president of the United States and tne fattier of the man who now occupies the White House. There is something horrible and repulsive in the robbing of a grave the violation by human ghouls where the gentlest of hands are too rude to toueh the dead face, the des ecration of the sacred spot to which cling the memories of a lifetime, the ruthless exposure of grief that shuns the public gaze after the last formali ties are gone through with, and the flowers and tears have'been shed np on the narrow home. But horrible a3 is the rifling of the grave of the dead, how much more horrible, more tragic is the thought of the dead man's son climbing to the top story of a medical college in search of the stolen body of a young friend and, removing the cloth from the face of a corpse in one of tup dissecting rooms, to discover beneath that horrid mask the features of his dead father? Does history afford a more dramatic Bcene? Marie Antoinette's hair turned white as she viewed her husband's' head upon the block of the guillotine '-Could' Hhe Shock and agony which vshe 'experienced have been greater than' that of one who had the day before looked, with grief burdened heart, upon the form of a venerable and long-loved father, had seen it lowered into the grave, the features marked with a graceful smile, beautiful even in death, the next day to see it appear in that most dreadful of places, the dissecting room, robbed even of its shroud, the peaceful smile displaced by distorted features, the venerable snow-white beard rudely cut away to disfigure the body, the head pressed forward, bleeding from the cruel rope by which it had been sus pended in the shaft of the medical college? s JYet this is what the grandson of president "William Henry Harrison enduted. The death of president Harrison's father occurred suddenly at North Bend, O., a small town fifteen miles west of Cincinnati, in the latter part of May, 1878. The residents of Cin cinnati and the vicinity, in fact of all Ohio, were just at that time wrought up over repeated accounts of grave robbing. The very day before the burial of president Har rison's father the grave of the son of a widow named Devin had been rifled in the burial lot adjoining that of the Harrison family in the North Bend cemetery. On account of these robberies extraordinary precautions were taken. A secure receptacle of solid masonry was built in whioh the iron casket was placed. Three im mense stone slabs were lowered with great difficulty and cemented before the earth was thrown in. As an ad ditional precaution General Harrison (now president) paid a watchman $80 to keep guard over the grave for thirty nights. All precautions were futile. That nicht two crave robbers drove to the cemetory in a wngon, the felloes of which were wrapped to prevent noise, rifled the grave and took the body to the Ohio medical college at Cincin nati, where it was sold for 10. On the following day John Scott Har rison, Jr., and Carter Harrison, brothers of president Harrison, to- getner witn a nepnew or uenerai HarriBon and a detective, went to the medical college to searoh for the body of young Devlin, who was a distant relative' of the family. The building was searched in vain. Every suspicions box and barrel was ex amined, the ohute into'whioh bodies were dropped by the resurrectionists was inspected, also the furnn'ce iu whioh the putrefying flesh was ore mated. As a last resort the' investi gating party entered a smalt room on the tog floor in which Jhey" found all sorts, -of rubbish incident io the dissectirfgroomY lint Tib body. In the further corner of the room was a windlass and rope which ran down through a square hole in the floor, connecting with a shaft that de scended five stories to the vat where the bodies were kept. As the party were about leaving tho room the de fective laid his hand on the rope. It was taut. "Here is something," he exclaimed, seizing'the crank belonging to the windlass; J Nearer, and nearer it came, to the surface. It was a naked body, except the head and shoulders. The cupidity of tKe gh'ouls who had rifled the grave had 'not been satisfied with the price theygpt topjheir prey. They had even robbed the corpse of its grave clethes: "jThe oxAy covering was an old tattered 'shirt used for the purpose of avoiding detection should the body be seen. Slowly it was brought to the level of the floor and raised as far as the windlass would permit. "It is not the man,1' said Mr. Har rison. "Devlin died of consumption and was more emaoiated than this one."' He turned to give up the searoh, when he was urged by the detective to look at tho face, which was still covered. "It is hardly necessary," said Mr. Harrison, hesitating and evidently desiring to retreat: "still, if you in sist " The body was thereupon raised out of the' well, the trap door dropped be neath it and the body lowered upon it. The rope had been rudely tied about the body below one arm, and as it drew upward had pressed the head forward. When the pressure was released the blood streamed from an incision iu the neck. Loosening the rope the body fell to the floor. The light from a window above shone directly upon the head and shoul ders. Silently the little group awaited until some one should remote the cloth from the face of the dead. Tho more restivo were preparing to depart when Mr. Harrison, with a cane which ho had in his hand, brushed the covering from the face of the body. It revealed the face of an old man, with full white beard cut squarely off below the chin, white hair cut closely at the back, sightless orbs staring upward, a face discolored by the pressure of the rope and the rude handling of those by whom the corpso hail bpen dragged from the grave. "An old man," remarked some one, and Mr. Harrison stooped to lake a closer look at the face. Suddenly his couuteuance changed color, the blood rushed back to his heart. ITo reeled and grasped for support. "What is the matter?" asked some one. Mr. Harrison said nothing, lie was dazed, his blanched face turned to ashy paleness and his eys, staring from their sooketswere riveted upon the dead face before him. '"At last he gasped out; "It ia father 12 a'rid sank unconscious into the arms of the dd tective. An undertaker was sent for and the body was taken awayjmd silently ro interred the next day. Iu the mean time the fact that the'-body had been stolen had been discovered at North Bend. The messengers sent to the city were met with the- circumstances' of the discovery of "the bodv bv his own son.
