A Resurrectionist's Headquarters.
Daltimoiii, March S22. Home months
ago it vafi tliHcovoved thnt two graves to
the Baltimore Cemetery had been opened
aud the bodies removed. The bodies tnkeu
wore th oao of ft young Judy, Mlas Jennie
Hinlth, and her nuut, Mrs. Carter. Tbey
had ninny friends, and there was a great
deal of excitement In the community about
the mutter.. Facts wore ascertained which
enusod the belief that a systematic plunder
lug of the cemeteries here was being car
ried on. Tbe Sun of this city publishes
this morning- a huge number of letters,
written to a resurrectionist whose name is
not divulged, showing that Baltimore has
been miido the centre of the t radio in bod
ies extending all over the country. The let
tors nil relate to the purchase of bodios,nnd
are mostly from doctors. Borne of the let
ters refer to the bodies as models or casts,
while others attempt no concealment of the
character of the objects referred to. The
West seems to have been the principal
market of the resurrectionist, although
shipments were made also to Boston, New
York and Atlanta. Contracts for the sup
ply of dead bodies were entered into dur
ing tho summer, deliveries to be made dur
ing tbe fall aud winter. Besides Baltimore
Cemetory, it is definitely known that Lau
rel and Bweet Home Cemeteries have been
regularly worked by the re8urrectionist,and
from the extent of his business there Is no
doubt that other cemeteries were also
worked by him. Among the patrons whose
names appear in the correspondence pub
lished by the iS'im is Dr. Robert A. Gunn,
one of tho physicians conneoted with the
Taaner fast.
A Dauphin County Burglary.
On Sunday night the store of W. G. Erb
at Hockersville, about three miles from
Hummelstown, Dauphin co., was entered.
Three men who occupy a room over tbe
store beard suspicious sounds about mid
night and cautiously arising went down
stairs to investigate. They discovered
three men engaged in overhauling the
stock of the establishment by the aid of
a light. Going cautiously back to their
room the three men secured revolvers, aud
headed by a young man named Louis
Zimmerman, who carried a light, returned
to make it lively for tho burglars. The
burglars however bad also beard suspicious
sounds and bad taken tbe precaution to
"douse their glim" and hide to await de
velopments. As young Zimmerman enter
ed the store one of the burglars fired, the
ball takiug effect in the shoulder. The
three at once found it prudent to "make
for tall timber" and scattered. During
the confusion which followed the burglars
escaped. They made towards Swatara sta
tion where they tarried long enough to
break into a hotel and refresh themselves
with hearty luncb. They carried off with
them a lot of cigars and a pair of boots
just to lot the proprietor know tbey had
been there. Mr. Zimmerman's wound is
not a serious one.
An Exciting Scene.
New York, March 21. It was reported
at police headquarters, to-day that a naked
man, who had small-pox, was rushing
about the streets, on the west side, crea
ting a veritable panic lie was at length
captured aud taken to tbe Twenty-ninth
precinct station house, to which Dr. Smith
of tbe sanitary staff proceeded with a
small-pox wagon. Upon bis return he re
ported that the man, whose name is Wal
ter Mahaud, was in the delirous stage of
the diseaso and would probably die. He
was removed to the Riverside hospital,
Mahaud, who is a young, strong-limbed
negro, was in bed in his home in West
Twenty-seventh street, and being asleep
be bad been left alone by the friends who
were nursing him. In their absence be
awoke delirous, tore bis shirt from his
body, and made his way iuto the streets
without a particle of clothing to cover
his nakedness. Tho excitement was in
tense. He made his way into Sixth ave
nue on bis way tip town, and entering
Broadway rushed up that thoroughfare,
followed by a vast crowd of men and wo
men jelling " small-pox." He was at
length captured by a sheot being thrown
over him and holding him in it firmly.
A Strange Custom.
Ttosauna Barbara, a two-months-old
daughter of thrifty Italian parents, living
at 62 Mott street, was christened yester
day. Twelve carriages rolled in long pro.
cession to the Roman Catholio church in
Sullivan, sucec near Houston. On the
way to and from the church the oocupants
of the carriages pelted each other with
bon-bons, and scattered pennies broadcast
for street boys to gather.
On returning to the houte the chiisteu-
ing party had a battle royal, in which the
' candy missiles did considerable execution
One of the combatants bad bis eye so bad
ly injured that be bad to quit the festival,
and several children were also buit. Huu
dreds viewed the scene from the roofs and
windows of the neighboring tenements.

A Child's Unaccountable Death.
Datioit, March 17. About 7 o'clock
this morning two boys found the dead
body of James Craig, aged six years, ly
ing In au alley near Woodward and Alex
andria avenues. The body was nudo,
and lay face downward noross the roots of
an elm tree. In one hand was clutched
a piece of candy. 1 he body shows sevore
bruises. Tbe child shoes, which were'
near the body, were clean, showing that
he could not have walked through the
mud to the place where he was found
dead. The lad was last seen nlive at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon, while playing
on Woodward aveuun. Members of bis
family and several policemen searched for
him all night long, and some of them

A burglar entered a private bouse at
Montgomery, Alabama, and refreshed
himself with a few slices of nicely flavored
cake that happened to be handy. He
stood behind the lady of the house and
blew out matches as she Ignited them, so
softly as to make her believe It was caused
by the wind.
tWA dog in a Cincinnati theatre smelt
