THE LANDING IN NEW YORK. Imposing Reception of President Harri- son—The Great Procession. New Yor, April 29.—On the arrival of the Despatch in the East river at the foot of Wall street, a barge manned by a crew of ship- masters from the Marine society of the port of New York, with Capt. Ambrose Snow, president of that society,as coxswain, put out to meet her and row the President ashore. The crew of the barge that rowed President Washington from Elizabethport to the foot of Wall street were members of the same _ socicty. Capt. Snow's crew consisted of James Harding, Wm. B. Hilton, Wm. Allen, G. D. 8. Trask, Jno. R. Demar, W. A. Ellis, Geo. A. Dearborn, Samuel G. Fairchild, James Parker, Albert Spencer, Stephen Whitman, Geo. L. Norton, Benj. F. Marsh, Richard Luce, and W. W. Urquhardt. While the President was being taken from the Despatch into the barge the Erastus Wiman and the Sirius landed their passengers at the foot of Wall street. ‘THEN CAME THE PRESIDENTIAL BARGE maned by a sturdy crew of grizzly-haired men, mapy of whom had not pulled un oarin years, but whose strong, steady stroke attested that the proficiency they had attained a generation ago had not been lost by the entervening year of “resting on their oars.” Pier 16, where the President landed, was one of the most brilliantly decorated spots in the city. The roof was one fluttering ‘mass of flags and streamers, and the interior, usually so sombre, was brilliant with all the colors of the rainbow, To the left of the pier was attached the float at which the boat containing the presidential party emptied i guished passengers. "The float was handsomely car- petted, and the stairs leading to the pier were covered with a canopy of bunting. Streamers were strung across the river from Wali street, (Pier 16) to Pine street (Pier 17). RECEIVED BY GOV. HILL, The President was received as he stepped LAST!

As he entered, the troops on either side “pre- sented arms” and the full choir of Trinity church, conducted by Dr. Messiter, the organ- ist and choirmaster of Trinity, descended the the staircase, opposite the entrance and grouped thems at the foot. They then sang the hyma, Lord We Bow. The solemn hymn rendered by this grand chorus resounded through the marble hall and st.rred the hearts of all who heard it with its grandeur. Following this the choir sang the doxology, accompanied by a full chorus of cornets, When the music had ceased the President was conducted to the Lawyer's club rooms in Equitable building where a reception took place. “Before the peso ene A BROKEN WHEEL. What Caused the Terrible Accident at Hamilton—A Woman’s Sad Story. Berrato, N. Y., April 29.—A number of sur- vivors of the Grand Trunk accident reached here last night. A.D. Wylie, of Chicago, of the Rock Island road, says that the ill-fated train was not running at over 20 miles an hour at the time of the accident. He believed the wreck was caused by a broken wheel. The worst sight he saw was a man from Chicago who had his head cut off. He was the life of the train from the time it left Chicago and only a few minutes before the accident Mr. Wrlie was talking to him. Mrs. Benjamin describes her experience as terrible. Just before the accident he was look- ing out the window admiring a little hamlet which they were passing. “A gentleman was standing near me,” she said, “and a‘ter mark- ing the pretty scenery, started for the smoker. as reached the there was a terrible crash, a cloud of dust, and seeming; shower of stars, and then everything became a blank.

How it Influenced Him in Regard to Political Affairs. Special Cable Dispatch to Tue Evexrxo Stan. Loxpox, April 29.—Dr. Dale, of Birming- ham, who knew John Bright long and inti- mately, contributes an interesting character sketch with reminiscences to the May Contem- porary Review, He says: “Bright had a noble moral austerity in the conception of God which made him an advocate of the laisser faire in politics, He cared supremely for de- velopment of individual character, and pre- ferred the material prosperity of ‘the people advancing slowly by their own efforts to quicker progress by state aid. His favorite religious books wer esus of the Evangel- ists,” by Rowe, and “Catholic Thought on the Bible,” by Myers. Bright ascribed his conver- sion to a visit paid him in early manhood by the old Quaker Benjamin Seebohm. “I had before,” said ht, ‘delighted in the Bible, but now so fully that I had discovered init a divine relation to every man. Henceforth I was brought more ay under the personal ower of Christ.” Bright told Dale he read hroughout ilton’s Paradise Regained” every Sunday. He selected one poetand read him every night after leaving the house of commons, THE COMMIS: RS MEET. Count Bismarck Desires the Samoan Conference Kept Secret. IN.

Commissioner Webb is the sole representa- tive of the majesty of the District of Columbia at the great Washington centennial in New York. Commissioners Wheatley and Ray- mond are at the District building engaged in weeping and wailing and gnashing their re- spective teeth. They are left. They will not figure in the elaborate ceremonies which will mark the 30th in New York; the parade will not exhibit its long drawn array of men and banners to their eyes;the thousandstof “twinkling feet” which will glide over the polished floor of the Metropolitan opera house on Tuesday night will not have amongst them the pedal extremities» f Wheatley and Ray- mond, and the tongues of those gentlemen will shrivel up perpetually if no other beverage than the centennial committee’s champagne can keep them moist. Of course this is very annoying but there is no help for it now, all that is left to the two officials who sitin darkness in the big brick building on Ist street is the right to mourn all the day long and to indulge in numerous, and at times protane expressions as to the man who “scooped” the centennial tickets. “How did it happen?” Well, according to talk some little time ago the centennial authorities wrote to Commis- sioner Webb, as chairman of the Board of Com- missioners, asking him to send them the names of the gentlemen who would rep- resent the government of the District of Columbia so that the necessary tickets could be sent to them in good seaso1 Mr. Webb was not slow to reply. He, as chairman of the board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia, would represent the local govern- ment on’ the hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of Washington, and wouldn't the committee please send a few _ tickets—complimentary A day or two later and the tickets were received by Mr. Webb, but he didn’t happen to mention it to his fellow Com- missioners. Finally Messrs, Wheatley and Raymond (who in some way or other, had found out that there was to be @ celebration of some sort in New York on the 30th inst.) spoke of the matter to Mr. Webb and made numerous comments on the provoking slowness with which the centennial committee was sending out its invitations, but Mr. Webb was so absent-minded that he still failed to mention the receipt of the tickets. ‘Two or three days more came and went, and still no tickets, and then Mr. Wheatley, as Mr. Webb did not seem to be interested, put bim- self in officialeommunication with the commit- ee and received areply to the effect that one William B. Webb, alleged to be the chairman of the board of Commissioners, had received and receipted for all the tickets to which the government of the District of Columbia was entitled. Quite a scene followed. but the circumstances remained unchanged and the chairman was on top. He had distributed the tickets sent him (with the exception of his own) and they could not, would not, be recalled. And now eub-Commissioners Wheatley and Raymond, sed at heart and mad as the proverb- ial wet hen, are running the District govern- ment while Commissioner W. B. Webb is in New York, having fun enough for three people and posing as the District ot Columbia. WANTED TEN DAYS MORE. So That More Democrats Could Have Been Removed. A few of the statesmen who passed in front of the White House to-day while traveling be- tween the departments felt rather sore because the President had refused to put off the evil day when the civil-service rules shall cover the raillway-mail service as witha garment.

THE MYSTERY NOT YET SOLVED—A MAN WITH A RED NECKTIE — ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AGAINST DIGGS—ANOTHER MAN WHO SAW HIM ‘WASH HIS WAGON. The reporters could get nothing from the de- tectives this morning respecting the Benning’s murder mystery, except sagacious looks and knitted brows. Inspector Swindells, as he sat at his desk at police headquarters, had a look of deep thought on his face but reporters were unable to sound the depths of his meditations. The office cat also hada knowing look as it perched onashelf near the inspector's desk and cocked one ear back ina rakish way. About 10 o'clock Detective Raff, who is engaged in working out the clues obtained by the detect- ives, entered the office with rapid strides, He had a private interview with the inspector and then called in from the outside a mysterious looking man with a black moustach, a red neck- tie, and yellowish pantaloons. Soon the man with the livid tie left and the reporters fol- lowed him, but his lips were sealed. Detective Raff remained a few minutes in tne office. To the inquiries of reporters he replied only with aquiet smile. It was a smile that implied con- fidence and satisfaction as though he were NEARING THE END OF HI@ LONG SEARCH to establish the identity of the murdered woman and of her unknown assassin, The de- tective then started out of the office again, but stopped on the curb and looked thoughtfully at the sky. He evidently got an idea from that source. for he returned into the office and got his umbrella. Then he was off again, as the reporters understood, for = trip into’ Prince George's county, ‘Wait,” he said to a Star reporter, “I think there may be astory for you to-night.” At police headquarters and everywhere else where there is interest in mysterious crime— and that is pretty nearly everywhere in the city—the case is still under discussion, Up to to-day all that is known is that a woman has been murdered. Her name, the name of her murderer, the motive for the crime, the man- ner and circumstances of the tragedy are un- known, All that the officers of justice have now is, A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE DEAD WOMAN as she appeared in her coffin Saturday, the clothing taken from her and accurate knowl- edge of the place where the body was found concealed in a gully near Benning. The ac- companying cut is reproduced from the photo- graph made of the dead woman at the ceme- tery near Bladensburg Saturday, as described in Tue Stan. The body was found in a watery grave, it having been interred in the low ground near the fence. A GHASTLY SIGHT was presented when Undertaker Gasch, of Bladensburg, broke the lid from the coffin, which was then afloat in the muddy water that had nearly inundated the cemetery. The foot of the coffin was but afew inches from the fence inclosing the cemetery grounds. When the grave was opened the body was so covered with mud and was other- wise’ in such a condition that it was found almost impossible to remove it to an elevated place, where a good likeness could be obtained. Soonthe other side of the fence, under the tall oak trees, the photographer ar- ranged his camera. Then the boards were taken off the fence. In the meantime the un- dertaker had succeeded in elevating the head of the coffin in order to get the water off the face of the deadwoman. The foot of the cof- fin was buried under the water. Several buck- ets of water were used to cleanse the faces as well as possible, and then four likenesses of the women were obtained, Under the head of the woman was a piece of linen which was thrown over her face when the body was put in the ground. There was also considerable red clay and a number of smell twigs and pieces of sticks which had probably gotten in the coffin since the body was first disinterred. Under her chin was a stick which was placed there by the undertaker to close the mouth and prevent the large teeth from showing. Only a side view was taken because the other side of her face had been eaten away before the body was first found. On the left temple a scar is visi- ble which looks like a bruise made with a flat- iron or some other heavy article. The police think that any one who knew the woman would be able to identify her from this photograph. THE MAN OF THE WAGON, The clothes taken from the murdered woman are in the possession of Sheriff Darnall, of Prince George county, Md. Diggs, the colored wage ceiver, whose home is at Burr- ville, and who was arrested on the statement of the old colored sandman ‘Capt.” Cook, is still held at thg sixth precinct police station, To those who give credence to Cook's story, which is corroborated by two other sandmen, who say that Diggs stopped at Benning bridge either Thursday or Fri ly or Saturday morn- ing, April, 18, 19 or 20, and washed his wagon, suppose that Diggs was employed by the murderer to cart away the body of his vic- tim and conceal it. Cook says that it was Sat- urday morning that Diggs stopped at his shanty to wash his wagon. When Detective Raff ex- amined Diggs’ wagon, after the latter's arrest, he found no sign of blood in in, but some traces of ashes in the crevices between the boards. Cook said in his statement that there were in the wagon when he helped Diggs h it out after Diggs had passed his house with his load, supposed to be a human body, and returned to borrow Cook’s bucket, AN INTERVIEW WITH DIGOs. In acell at the sixth precinct police station is a tall, athletic looking negro, attired in a well-worn old flannel shirt and rusty-looking trousers, This is Diggs, the wagon-driver, When a Stax reporter looked into Diggs’ cell this morning the prisoner at once sprang up from the iron bench on which he was sitting and came forward to the grating. Raising his hand he said, with a solemn air: “I Ow | nothing about this matter, I wish you would tell the world that I know nothing about it. I never hauled a body for anyone.” Diggs still adheres to his story about his employment Friday and Saturday, the 19th and 20th inst. He was working those days about the Balti- more and Ohio depot and the Maltby house, he said, and drove to and from home at Burrville at the usual hours. He told Tue Sta reporter again that he had promised five cents to Cook for a board the latter had wiven him, and had never paid the five cents, | Cook had called out after him about it, “I believe,” said Diggs, “and I am willing to swear, that I believe that this old man was hired by some one to tell that he saw me with this body.” Questioned further as to who could have undertaken to injure him in this oc | Diggs said that the express wagon drivers and others about the Baltimore and Ohio depot had tried to crowd him out. Some of them had, he said, backed their wagons into his, and in other ways persecuted him. He believed that some of these men, to get him out of the way, had pe Cook to tell this story. When asked about ASHES IN HIS WAGON, and whether he had handled any ashes. Diggs said he had hauled away a load of ashes from a house near the Maltby house. He thought it was three or four weeks ago, but he could not fix the time exactly, After that, he said, he had washed his wagon. said that one day about a week ago, and he thinks it must have been Friday, he carried home in his wa pioodmea and ®@ canvas cover id over THE MAN WITH THE RED NECKTIE. The mystery of the man with the red necktie was cleared up by a Stan reporter. This man ‘raiment denied Cook's story. The detec- ves, professional and amateur, all agree that the important point to be settled first is the identity of the murdered woman. When her name and are known itis thought that it will be a comparatively easy task to trace her movements and discover her murderer. 4 POSSIBLE CLUE TO THE IDENTITY OF THE VICTIM. ASran reporter learned this afternoon the clue on which the detectives were working and which has taken Detective Raff on another trip trip to Maryland. He will visit the vicinity of Annapolis fil sang when the murder was first discovered and discussed the name of a colored woman named Beckie John- son was mentioned as being poasibly the vic~ tim. This woman lived, it 1 stated, in the neighborhood of Annapolis Junction and had lived in Baltimore. The Maryland authorities, it appears, dropped this clue to work on others that appeared more promising. Information received to-day, however, indicates that the woman Johnson is missing, and it is believed oe may wetneges murdered. She is de- scribed as @ mulatto woman, similar in are = to ~ ne woman, ai e Mary! authorities have found the Mamie Gardner who, it was supposed, might be the murdered woman, and so that clue is disposed of- Little information was expected to-day until the case of Beckie Johnson bas been investigated. ANOTHER POSSIBLE CLUE. The photograph was exhibited toa number of colored persons at police headquarters this afternoon, but none of them were able to identify it, One colored man named G. W. Cartwright, who lives in Ruj pert’s court, near 8d and C streets south- east, said that a young colored woman answering the description of the murdered woman disappeared from her home Friday, the 20th instant, the day before the body is supposed to have been placed in the poods on the Sheriff road. He did not know the name of the woman who disappeared, but she lived in Ruppert’s court with her aunt, Mrs, Pinkney. Cartwright said that the miss- ing woman went to her service place Friday and drew her wages and has not been seen since. This statement is regarded as a possible clue and will be investigated by the police. Acolored woman named Martha Ages, who lives in southeast Washington, thought that the picture resembled the married daughter of Georgiana Harper, of Anacostia, The young woman, she said, was married about two years ago, and went to Cornwall-on- the-Hudson. He was not positive that the photograph was a likneness of the woman she mentioned, —__— ON THE RAGGED EDGE, Ohioans Gunning for Ex-Mayor Smith who Hopes to be Collector of Customs. There is one Ohio man in town who would have been at the White House to-day if the President was there. His name is Ed- ward Ritchie, he is @ lawyer, and he hails from Cincinnati, He is loaded for ex-Mayor Amor Smith and he expects to reach him at the first fire. Mr. Smith would like to be collector of customs at Cincinnati, and he has a general idea that the republican party owes him just that particular place, Senator Sherman thinks so too, and so does Representative Caldwell, and they have done their best with the President to have the com- mission made out. The President, however, delayed, and the delay has probably been a fatal one so far as Mr. Smith is concerned, ‘The news of his candidacy was spread abroad unexpectedly, and then a large and influential class of citi: rose and suid that that ap- pointment ought not tobe made. They cleim that Smith 3 catered to the saloon element in all his political matters and they state very emphatically that every minister of the gospel in the state of Ohio will willingly sign a petition remonstrating against even a consideration of Mr. Smith's claims, The Cincinnati citizen’s committee of 500 de- clares that Smith is unfit for the place and can- not receive the indorsement of the better class orp le either in the city or the state, is and agreat deal more will be told the President by Mr. Ritchie when the Presi- dent returns, Senator Sherman had hoped to have had Smith appointed and installed in office before May 1, when the Senator sails for Europe, but this interference has put down the brakes and now the Senator will go to foreign lands, leaving Mr. Smith roosting on the edge of the gigantic national tureen with a tendency to fail backward into the . ea DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Officials in the Interior department acquaint- ed with the recent negotiations with the Sioux Indians for the cession of 11,000,000 acres of their land to the U. 8. are not sanguine of the success of the present commission, This com- mission is governed by the same law as the former commission, which was only authorized to pay $1.25 per acre for the land. This price the Indians refused to accept, and reiterated their refusal when they were brought to Wash- ington to confer with Secretary Vilas. It isnot believed they will accept lower price now, and about all the commission can hope to « complish is to secure a treaty from them nam- ing the price they will take and then ask Con- gress to approve it. Like trouble is anticipated with the work of the Cherokee commission. Both commissions will meet here next week to receive final in- structions before proceeding west.
