The Jlinnequa Springs Hotel Horned.
Canton, November 12. About 2 o'clock
this morning a lire wasxUiscovered in the
east wing of the Minnen.ua Springs hotel,
nd before it could be extinguished the en
tire structure was destroyed. From tho fact
that no fire has been kept in that wing it ii
suppose I to be incendiary in its oriirin.
Nothing was saved, the inmates barely es
caping wltn their lives. The loss is estinia
ted at $75,000 ; insured for ?50,000
Minnequa, the scene of this conflagra
tlou, is In UradTord county, on the line ol
the Northern Central railroad,41 miles north
of Willianisport. Mr. Peter Herdic, whose
recent failure ha9 been a matter of much
comment, was one of the principal property
owners at Minnequa, and for several years
labored earnestly to build up the place and
mate It a popular summer resort. One of
his projects In connection therewith was to
secure the formation of a new county, ol
which Minnequa was to be the county seat.
The destruction of the hotel, which was the
leading attraction of the place, will be a se
vere blow to its future.
Washington, Nov. 10, 1873.
Tho late failure here of a National Bank
and a Savings Bank, for reason not yet offici
ally expressed, and tho wide distress caused
thereby, and the unprecedented hardness of
times in Washington while our population is
steadily increasing, havo anew called the at
tention of business men and laboring men
to the prospect before them. It is not too
much to say that the feeling is of great un
easiness. After resumption, now fixed at
lass than sixty days ahead, shall have been
brought about, if it shall havo less beneficial
effects than aro expected by its supporters,
there will bo.herc, and probally elsewhere, a
condition of affairs never before known. It is
not pleasant to think of what may happen.

TO THE PUBLIC.
If my enemies And supposed friends had
left my name alone as connected with the
late Congressional campaign after I was de
clared out of the field, I would havo suffered
in silence, trusting to time to make all things
even. But the desire to kick a man when
he is down Is so prevalent, and the anti-
campaign calumnies are still repeated with
such virulence from local papers down to the
Philadelphia Timet, that in vindication of
myself of the friends who to nobly support
ed me, And as an explanation to those who
so credulously believed slanders started at
tho last moment, when it was impossible to
refute them, I deem it my duty to state
what I have done, and why I did it j some
thing I defy my political opponents to do,
and tell the truth, I had not only Albright,
Klotz, and Orvls to contend with, but tlit
Democratic State.County, and District com
mittees, many of the latter set up against
me at the last moment by a process Klotz
designates as "greasing." t
My first conversation about the Con
gressional question, I think was with
Klotz at the Wyoming Centennial. He dis
trusted Montour, and feared Luzerne and
Pike had made nn alliance with Brandon,
He denounced Mrgargell, aked me to car
ry Columbia and lower Luzerne, and he
would carry Carbon and Monroe. Thus we
would hold the balance of power, and if I
could not win, I might be in poition to aid
him, or hold the sculrs even. With slight
effort I carried this County against two op
posing candidates. Senator Ituckalew was
instructed as one of the delegates for me
in KH Bloom, and the Convention unanl
mouly ratified my selection of Lowenberg,
Swisher and Hoffman.
THE FIRST TRICK.
My friends worked industriously InLuzern
and with the more hope because I thought she
would not claim a third term. I met the Con
vention at Ilazleton, a.id was told it traj all
right for me, but that the friends of Dr.
Fruit desired to give him a complimentary
vote, but that I might name the conferees. It
was not stipulated where they should come
from, I did not name them then because
Dr. Fruit was inaccessible.
Tlir. STUOUDSDURO CONVENTION.
This was held on Tuesday Oct, 8, by rea
son of a peremptory order from Senator
Rowland, who it seems by a rule of the origi
nal conference had the authority to do so,
a rult rigidly enforced by Klotz previously
and we hastily gathered at Stroudsburg.
Oil reaching there, to my surprise I fouud
that the conferees from Montour,Pike,Lacka
wanna, and a contesting delegation from
Luzerne had already organized under the
plea that we had not reached the appointed
place at the appointed time. This we deemed
discourteous ; but have since learned that
the move was prompted by the statement of
Klotz, and his friends, that I would reject
representation from Lackawanna, and not
hear contestants from Luzerne.

AS TO LACKAWANNA COUNTY.
I have always been in favor of propor
tional representation in conventions and
conferences based upon some definite -vote
That has been a contested question in our
Legislative, Senatorial, and Congressional
Conventions for years, and has led to inter
minable and ever recurring contests. It
mado the contest between Buckalew and
Chalfant in 18G9 in Montour and Columbia
In. 1870, and lead to the withdrawal of Ool
Freeze, D. Lowenberg, and Dr. Swisher
from the Congressional Conference, Wilkes
Itarra in 1874. The erection of Lacka
wanna county threw a new question to the
fo.-e, as to whether she was entitled to sep
arate and equal representation was
question. Previous to the meeting
of the Conference, in separate con
versations with Brandon and Klotz.
we all deemed it a grave question, but I
then suggested Columbia's old position, that
Carbon and Montour should agree to pro
portional representation, tut not to ignore
iMciawanna I l!itli ultimately declined
the proporiilun, .tad then, as the
labial rexolution was held to be in
fnll force and virtue, and us no tolutlon
of the question was proposed except
the exclusion of LickawanriH altogether, I
determined to have the rule earned into
full efft-ct. The minutes show the re-olu-tion
to be "that all couutles or piutsof ooiin.
ties composing the 1 1th Congressional Dis
trict shall each be entitled to three confer,
ees." I believed then as now that it was
not equal representation ; but Carbon and
Monroe should not complain of a rule which
they hail voted to adopt, against the voice
of Columbia and Lnzu'iie ; and as every
other rule ot that original convention was In
sisted nn by tltrm that should be
also. Kven Klotz's chief fugle
man Gorman President of the Hazle
ton Convention, in regard to Lackawanna's
representation, in a letter to lirittain, said :
' Some contend that we are eutitled to but
three Conferees Lackanauna Inclusive. Now
I hold as the rule says, "all counties and
parts of counties are entitled to three Con'
ferees each" and we being separate and dls
tlnct counties that we (Lucerne) and Leek
awauna should send three each,"
THE l'IKE CONTJiT,
This was trivial, and the admieslon of the
Lewis delegation would hare been so un
fair, that the motion to admit the conies
tants after investigation was tabled,
THE CASE SrATKD.
When we met at ilazleton the situation
was thus: Montour, Pike and Lackawanna,
with nine uncontented Conferees, were in
session at Scranton, with three Conferees
contested from Luzerne, A-Ilazleton were
uncontested Conferees from Columbia, Car
bon and Monroe, with three contested seats
from Luzerne. Tho ono body bad admitted
one set of contestants, and the other its rl
val set. In a word It was a draw gamo-c
tie.
WHAT TO POT
Ihat wai the quettion I
Storm was (be "dark horse," and Fruit a
mere "stool pigeon " Ofcourso Storm don't
want his letters quoted ; of courso those
who wanted me to be tho cats paw to pull
their chestnuts from tho fire do not want me
to mention their names, because, they wish
somo one else enventually to represent Co
lumbia or Montour. Hut the withdrawal of
Storm and Fruit nominally narrowed tho
contest In the Hazleton Conference to Klotz
and myself. Neither could make the nom
ination under the rule (Ignoring Lackawan
na) without ono Coufereuce vote from the
other.
Iri'cA icomi yield t Wo dared not be
cause even If honest, the bald faced propo
sitions to accept large amounts of money,
would have damned Conferees and princi
pal together, A consultation was held in
my room, and on Wednesday it was unan
imously agreed that we should leave the
Conference In a body forborne. All pledged
themselves not to vote for Klotz, especially
as he declared he would s!t there "until
II froze over" before he would yield or
compromise. At noon of Wednesday, our
satchels were at the hotel office, our bills
paid, but in the hopes of compromise I was
Induced to remain one day.
We again formally resolved that we would
leave for home the following day In a body,
Previous to departing I draw a documen',
in Klotz's presence. The following of which
is a copy :
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 15, 187S.
Hon, A. G, Bruadhead, Dear Sir : I am
just informed that under no circumstances
will the Conferees of Carbon County vole for
me ns a nominee lor Congre-s. If this be
so, pleap inform mo nt once, and I "will
govern myself accordingly,"
Your Friend
C. H. Brockway.
Above read to Maj, llobt. Klotz.
C. B. B.
Klotz objected to its delivery on the
ground that he could not hold the Monroe
delegation against Buckalew, nor Broad
head, nor did he believe I could hold Low
enberg. Against Klotz's protests I banded
it to Mr. Broadhead, who insisted that he
had frequency voied for me. This was true,
when it made no nominatitm.
Train time came on Thursday, bills wero
paid, satchels in hand, and I formally
announced to the conference that in accord
ance with a unanimous resolution of our
delegation the Columbia candidate and con
ferees withdrew. As we were late, Sheriff
Huffman and myself piched up the "traps"
of the party, and made the train. Between
there and Tomhlckon wo discovered that
Lowenberg and Swisher were not aboard, I
proposed to go back, but acquiesced in Mr,
Hoffman's suggestion that if we did so, it
would look as if we did not mean what we
said. But from Tomhlckon I telegraphed
our missing friends to join us. Reaching
Bloomsburg, I received such additional in
formation as to certain intrigues that we
determined to go to Scranton to view the
situation there. It was not understood nor
agretd that we would join the Scnuton con
ference. On reaching there I had full evi
dence of what such "visiting statesmen" as
Cljiner and Myers had attempted to do, and
having formally withdrawn from tho Uaile
too rou Terence, ns wo had the right to do, I
decided to joiu the Scranton one, which cer
tainly had delegates from the uncontested
counties of Montour and Pike, and under
the rule of 1874, of Lackawanna. I then
telegraphed to my other conferees to meet me
at Scranton.
To that I 'eceived the following an
swer :
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 17, 1878.
Mr. L. declines to come. Klotz nominated
by majority vote, no possible chance to
come to-night as there are no trains. If
needed let me know to-morrow morning.
, T. J, Swisher.
I then telegraphed to Swisher to come.and
received th i following dispatch :
Hazleton, Pa , Oct. 17, 1878.
Yours not received unlil after five p, m.,
traiu gone, ran't getaway to-night.
T. J. Swisher.
TIk1 following morning, Oct. 18th, I re
ceived frum Swisherthe following dispatch :
"Impossible to get there before three p. m,
Will that he too Ute ? Answer."
I replied that he would be in time.
To my surprise he did not rome,and then
I telegraphed to different persons and plases
to find out where Lowenberg and Swisher
were, and what they iutended to do. Among
other dispatches was one to G. A. Clark,
whom I supposed to be one of my warmest
friends. In fact in 1874, he carried his
friendship so far as to vote for me for Con
gress, although I was not n candidate, He
replied that Swisher and Liwenberg refused
to come. I then telegraphed Mem to send
me blank substitutions by telegraph, and re
ceived the following reply :
We decline to make any substitution
whatever."
David Lqwendero.
T. J, Swibhek.
THE SOLUTION OF THE QUESTION.
I then substituted for them, Jacob L. Uir-
ton of Bloomsburg and Col. A. D. Seely of
Berwick. These two substitutes, with Sher
iff Hoffman then joined the Scranton Con
ference, which, by resolution, accepted the
substitution. At Mr. Uuckalew's suggestion
that the nomination should be made inside
tho District as a matter or form, the Confer
ence a journed from the Democratic Head
Quarters at the St. Charles Hotel, to H men's
Hall in the 11th ward, a rortion of our In
congruous District, there I received th(
Conferee vote of Columbia, Montour, Pike
Lackawanna, and the coutested delegation
of Luzorne. In other words, four ont of
seven counties voted for me, (excluding Lu
zerne) Klotz had but Carbon and Monroe,
outside of Luzerne, or six Conferees out of
21, including Lickawanna.
As other and graver questions have been
rabed in this issue which may effect future
Conferences as well as myself, I reserve
their discussion until I can get possession of
certain documents, and ask m friends to
preserve this communication so that It may
be read In connection with the one to fol
low.
The above has been read to T, J, Swisher
and J, W. Hoffinan,wio concur in the state

A T. Stewart's body Stolen.
The discovery wai mado on the morning
of tho 7th Inst., that at the dead of night
robbers had broken Into the vault In which
was the body of the late millionaire, Alex
ander T, Stuart, and had taken away the re
mains. St, Marks is one of the most an-
rlent existing landmarks of old upper New
York, ami Its graveyard contains the remains
of many men who had national as welt as
local fame. The Stiiyvesants, Wynlrops,
Deckllns, Oockrofts, Ewens, Tookcrs, Van
Burens and other honored names are com
memorated by plain tablets. Passers-by can
see Into every corner of the churchyard
through the heavy spiked iron fence that
surrounds It. Mr. Stewart's family vault Is
on the east side of the church and about fif
teen paces from It. Like all the others, it
Is flush with the ground and was marked
prior to the robbery by a simple whlto tab
let, Insc-ibel : "No. 112 Alex'r T. Stewart's
family vault."
MAKtNflTltE MfCOVERY.
At ".4r a. in., Frank Parker, the assistant
sexton of the church, went into the church
yaid. His attention was attracted to little
mounds of earth besido the Stewart vault,
nd he hurried lo the spot. A hole three
feet long by two wide and three deep had
been dug above the vault, and looking down
into it Parker discovered that one of tho
ruof stones of the vault, which should have
been tightly cemented was loose. Iu the
immediate vicinity of the vault the earth
and grass were trodden down, but there
were no traces of footsteps distinct enough
to measure. On the grass five feet away no
foottteps were traceable, nor did the adjoin
ing tabbts show mails of muddy boots. Ab
soon ub be hid examined the outside of the
vault and its surroundings, Parker ran to
tho office of the setton, George W. Hamill,
and told him of bis fears and suspicions.
Mr. II a m il 1 and his business partner, Mr.
Carpenter, instantly called upon Judge
Hilton. Judg Hilton lost no time in giv
ing winning to the police.
From the Central nllicc be drove to the
church, and the violated tomb was opened.
As the loosened stone was removed an nl-liio-t
overpowering "tench arose from the
vault. Through the opening in the roof
there coubl lie dimly seen on tbcfbnr of
the vault nn open coffin, with the head
pointing toward the stairs. The other coffins
had not been diarrnnged. In the vault the
undertakers and the sextons fouud consider
able .disorder. The heavy cedar casket,
wbicu enclosed a casket ot lead, tho latter
enclosing the splendid rn"ewood coffin was
uncovered. Its Mil had been unscrewed and
the zinc wit'i whi-in ir, was lin ;d to make
itair-proof whs cut. One corner of the lid
was broken off, as if with a hammer; other
wise the outer ,ini was not damaged. The
leaden casket ha I ocen cu open, apparent
ly with a sharp knife, mid the ciillin, thus re
moved from us miter covering, hud been
deliberately opened. Ou the tliorof the
vault lay a common shovel, such as is used
in putting coal on tho fire, and u bull's eye
dark lantern. There were no footsteps and
no clues t, the identification ut the robbers
other thau these.
OUTSIDE THE VAULT.
Outside the vault a Inn.; plank was found,
mud marked and frayed at one end, showing
that it had been useii as a lever to pry up u
heavy stone. The little shovel was cov
ered with red earth and slightly turned up
at one corner, as if it had been pressed with
great force against a stone or some other
hard substance. The ouly objects carried
away by the robbers, as far as is known,
were Mr. Stewart's body and colli o plate.
Tho stench in tho vault showed that the
body was very much decomposed, but ex
perts say that in spite of this it must have
retained most of its original f irm, having
been thoroughly embalmed. Tnus, they ar
gue, it would have been e.tsy to put it into
an India rubber l.ig and carry it uwuv. Mr
Hami II expressed the opinion that no one
unaccustomed to the handling of corpses in
an advanced stage of decomposition could
have removed Mr. Siewurt's body, and the
police advanced the theory that the robb;ry
was committed by an undertaker or an un
dertaker's assistant, saying that professional
cracksmen could not be hired to go into a
close vault lor love or money, anil that no
men aro moro affected by the horrors of do-
composition. Acting bilperiiitendeut Dilks
sent out a -general alarm and ordered out
the detective force in addition to Inspector
Murrav and his staff. Until late in the day
there was absolutely no clew. Stories were
about that an express wagrn hail been seen
in Eleventh street, near Ihe church, late on
Wednesday nighl,but nobody could be found
who had seen it. Later it was ascertained
that the shovel and the bull's eye lantern
were purchased in Chatham street a few
weeks ago, but the storekeeper who sold
them could not describe the person who
purchased them.
The coffin plate carried away by the rob
bers cost thirty dollars, and was of silver. It
was taken, doubtless, as u miansof identili-
cation, and this lead the detectives (o the be
lief that the motive of the robbery was to
blackmail Judge Hilton. If that is their
object they will fail, for no reward is to be
offered. The police believe that the robbers
falling to get reward and dispose of the body
by removal from the city or concealment iu
a house, will try to bury it. In that event
their capture is certain.
WHAT JUDGE HILTON SAYS.
Judge Hilton said this evening : "About
a month ago the sexton of St. .Mark's cnurch
Mr. George W. Hamill came to him, at the
upper store and told him that somebody had
been tampering with the slab that marked
the entrauce to the top of Mr. A, T. Stew
art's family vault In the churchyard of St,
Mark's, In is alcb is stone about two feet
six inclits wide by two feet, an ordinary
slab such as covers the other vaults In the
churchyard, The slab had been pried up
and then pushed back. There were marks
in the sod ot the cronbsr that had been used
in moving the slab. It should be remember
ed, however, that this slab did not cover the
entrance to the vault, but was placed at the
side of the real cover, which consisted of
three stone slabs coverejl with about one foot
of earth and overgrown with sol.
The vault is about thirty feet f om Sec
ond avenue, between Tenth and Kleventh
streets, I sskl: "That is very singular.
What can be the motive of such an act J'
I knew that people had beeu in the habit of
going in there to look at the slab. I sup
pose that the impression got abroad that
there was a large amount of valuables, con
sisting of silver and gold ornaments, buried
In the vault with the body of Mr. Stewart,
Storiet havd been circulated that there were
many silver and gold ornaments. I never
knew exactly what the coffin had of silver
ornaments until to-day. The undertaker'
tells me that the only pure silver ou it was
the plate, which was ou the inner side ol
the coffin lid. This lid opened half way

TAKINO ALL PRECAUTIONS.
'After talking over tho matter with Mr.
Hamill ho said: I'll tell you what you had bet
ter do. I think it would bo a good plan to
chango tho location of tho slab, so that pcoplo
may think tho vault is in mother place,' 'A
good idea,' I said ihat'sjustcxaclly the thing.
And I told him to do that and place tho slab
over the haircn ground nndlotako every pie
cautiou and send tho bills to mo. He wns au
thorised to get somo of the Lest custom houo
locks and to employ it watchman. Hi) had
special directions to remove tho slab with the
greatest possible secrecy, so as not attract the
attention of any one, nod ho was even to em
ploy tho watchman without letting liim know
the special purposo of his being hired, but
witli general directions to keep a sharp look
out on tho church anil church-yard. Ho re
moved the slab, as directed, and even went as
far as to put flesh grass in its place and keep
it wateied, so that there was really nothing to
mark tho entrance to the vault containing Mr.
Stewart's body. No one but tho undertaker.
Mr. Hamill, nnd hisdepuly knew of this. I
spokoof it to .Mr. Libbcy. Did not tell anyone
else, not oven Mrs. fetowart. When tho un
dertakercamo and told mo ho h id done all this
and removed the slab to tho Tenth street side
I ft It perfectly satisfied that every thing was
safe. Any one not knowing what hail been
done, who would havo gone up there to look
at Mr. Stcwatt's grave, would havollooked at
this slab, which wc placed about thirty feet a-
way for the porposo of deccivingviolaters of
his grave: There, arc therefore, thrco points
of evidence that show that whoever did this
violation of .Mr. Stenart'sjgravo was familar
with the grounds. First they know the vault
was not uuder tho slab that contained his
name; second, ihoy knew that the body had
not been moved from itsnriginal testing place :
third, thev knew where the only piece ol silver
ou the coiliu was.
THE FIRST NEWS.
The news that the body of .Mr. Stewart had
been taken came to tne tliiuuuh Mr. Hamill.
the undertaker, at halt-past nine o clock this
morning, at my house, When I got tliTo I
found that the sod had been taken off with the
most lurprising neatne-s to the exact edgo of
the stouo.tlie ouly stone requneu to bo moved
to gam the access lo tho vault, although on
occasion of interment the three are generally
removed. It struck me as cxcsedinglv singu
lar that the removal of the earth to get at the
tlagstouo could tie so accurately upon tho ex
act lino leiiuired. There was not an inch of
variation 1 he vault is alnut ten feet square,
with a flight of steps. Mr. Stewart's body
lay jn a rosewood and mahogany collin enclos
ed iu a lead coffin, and these were enclosed in
a box. His body was clotlii il m an oidmarv
drcsssuit. 1 found that all ihe coffins had been
broken"open and that Mr, Stewart's bndv
had been taken away, together with the silver
plato 1 have spoken ot. 1 h robbers had left,
anordinjry bull's-eye lantern and common lit
tle firc-shovcl that had nevrbeen ucd before.
Thero was none of the oidinary appliance of
burglars but these oi'd tools, that Bcenied to
indicate that they were new at the business
Thev nricd open the top wooden box. then
forced ojieu the lead coffin and tore off the
screws ol tho cloth covered coffin containing
the body. They must have taken out the
bodv with the clothes on. My first impres
sion was that we had better keep nuiet and
that wc could do nothing about it, but upon
. n-t : l ... ....l: ..1 -

lice force to aid us. We about camo to the
conclusion that whatever tuuney is offered as
reward should be f'or the punishment of the
criminals 3Ve aro satisfied that whoever has
got the body in such a decompo-ed state can
not keep it above ground without detection
of some ono of our twenty-five hundred po
liccmen. I think that you will hear of some
thing from the police that will giveome clue to
the perpetrators l cannoMellyouthe names
ot those suspected.
Arrangements were in progress, were
thev not. to have the remains of Mr. Stewart
interred in the Garden City Cathedral?" was
asked "Yes," said Judge Hilton, "the crypt
is almost ready to uc raised. Hero are tho
designs, beautiful designs approved and con
tracted for. The crypUvi'l be of marble, Un

Of course it will bo costly, but not such enor
mous cxtravaganco as has been spoken of.
It will be a fitting adjunct to tho beautiful
church which Mrs. Stewart lias erected to her
husband's memory. "You aro certain that
there were no jewels buried with Mr. Stewart's
body t 'Why, Mr. Stowait Diver wore jew.
clry in bis life ; it is only of Into jear.s that he
would wtar sleeve buttons, and his watch
chain was a silk cord. II' I had allowed him
to be buried with jewlcry I should havo x

no never wuiu jewelry, and none was buried
j with him, not even the pearl studs, which ho
never wore, now about ollenng a reward
Mr. Hilton?'
'Mv first impression, said Judge Hilton
was that those who violated this grave sliouhi
not get a cent lor it, mat wc would depend
upon the police to find the bo ij.', which wc
thought would bo very a eay thing from the
fearful effluvia, but 1 shall lie guided bv the
commissioners and nothing shall be left uu
dono to bring the criminals to justice. Olders
havo already been giien to keep watch at all
the femes.'
A reward of $25,000 has been offered by
Mrs. ate vart lor the conviction ot the guilty
parties.
