Leannarda, Peter F. Bacon and Reuben F. Baker assembled around a little painted coffin in the yard in the rear of the health office this morning, and was sworn by Coroner Patterson as a jury. The little coffin contained a skull, a heap of bones and a quantity of old, weather-stained clothing. These were the remains found in the Carroll woods, north of Tenleytown, last Thursday, and identified by letters in the pockets as Franz Porsch, 8 German book agent, who came here from Baltimore late in June or early in July. ‘The jury, after inspecting the remains, met in the detedtive’s office and took testimony. George W. Smoot, ot Linden, Montgomer county, Md., testified that about the 6th or 81 of July a colored boy named Henry Edelin found a coat, hat, shoes and stockings, and a bundle of letiers and papers beside a culvert on the Metropolitan branch road and brought them to witness’ brother’s store. An un- successful search was made for the man to whom the clothi) belonged. The letters and perers indicated that thelr owner was engaged in canvassit for a book, The letters found with the skeleton appeared to be tions of the same correspondence as that found with the clothing at the culvert. Rock creek was 600 or 700 yards from the railroad at the cul- vert, There was a high bank there, The wit- ness’ supposition was that when the water was high and filled up the low ground near the cul- vert the deceased had, when stopping to wash himself, fallen into the creek,and the body had been carried some distance. The skeleton was found inside the District, while the bundie Of clothing was found in Maryland. ‘The Dis- trict line ran near the culvert. Lieut. Redway. of the fifth precinct, testified to the finding of the skeleton, with a portion ‘ofthe clothes, about fifteen or twenty yards from Rock ereek, in the Carroll wood. He saw no evidence, he sald, that there had been high water there. The underbrush was so thick there that he did ‘not think it possible that a body could have floated there. ‘The clothing was wet and badly torn. Some of the bones were lyin on the clothing. The bones were dry, and nak offiesh, and looked as though they had been pulled About. The witness saw nothing to indi- cate foul play. He thought the body been stripped by birds and animals, Mrz Smoot, who. was present, insisted that the point where the skeleton was found, on the Maryland side of the line. One of thi Jurors stated that it was not unusual for the creek to rise ten feet. Lieut. Redway said that in case ofa rise of ten feet the body might have been carried to the point indicated, ‘here the body was found, the ground for some distance He here with his effects, Brps FoR Woop AND Coat for the use of the House of Representatives were opened in the office of the clerk to-day.

At the foot of West 28a street the police boat “Patrol” received a select assemblage. Further down, at the foot of Beach street the larce iron steamer Richmond carried away a number of passen- gers, At Starin’s wharf, at pier 6 and at the dock of the Iron steamboat company were boats receiving lange loads of passengers.
