A MURDER MYSTERY THE SEWER GIVES UP ITS DEAD. The —r Sight That Startled Mr. homas Loveless. 4 BODY STANDING HALF OUT THE 0OZY WATERS OF THE SEWER CaNAL—EVIDENCES OF FOUL PLAY—MURDER THEORIES ADVANCED —THE POLICE INVESTIGATING. A ghastly discovery was made yesterday afternoon by Thomas Loveless of No. 2426 G street northwest. He had been out on the flats just south of the “White House and was returning along the bank of the sewer canal about 5:30 O'clock, when he sawaa object in the water that looked like the form of aman. He walked nearer to the bank and found that the object was the decomposed body of a man, but it could not be told from the shore whether the man was white or colored. STANDING IN THE MUD. The tide was low at the time and there was not more than two or three feet of water in the canal. The body was in « standing position with only the head and trunk out of the water, Within ‘less than five hundred feet from where the body was, & num- ber of colored men had been working in the sand all day, but, strange to say, ha evidently not noticed the shocking sight. Loveless said nothing about finding the body until he met Policemen Hanley and Holmes, He related the story to them, and they went immediately to the river bank where they found confirmation of Mr. Loveless’ statement. REMOVING THE BODY. The officers got two colored men, Moses Levy and Anthony Fox, to go out in a boat and bring in the body. They found the body so far de- composed that they were unable to tell whether the man was black or white, ‘The body was removed to the station honse on Kstreet. It was evident from its appear- ance that death had occurred many day's ego, The man’s clothing looked like that of a laboring man, al- though the mud and water had The body greatly changed their appearance. f appeared to be that of a man between thirty and forty years old. He was apparently about five feet six inches high and had dark hair mixed with gray. The officers searched his pockets to see if there was anything in them that would fix the man’s identity, but the only thing found was an old purse and in it Was one cent. EVIDENCES OF FOUL PLAY. Late in the evening the body was removed to the morgue and Policeman Olver prepared it for the -coroner. The officer examined the body closely and found what he thought were evidences of foul play. The top of the man’s skull was smashed in and the neck was broken. The trousers legs were tied about the ankles with strings and in oue of them was found a piece of brick. SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED. This morning Lieut, Guy made as much of an investigation as he could, and he thought from the circumstances that the man had been mur- dered. He detailed Officers Hanley and Holmes to make a thorough inves- tigation of the cuse and they started out this morning for that purpose, Several theories as to how the man met his death have been advauced. While most of the offi- cers are inclined to the belief that it was a case of murder, others think it one of suicide. One theory 1s that the man was murdered in some part of the city end thrown in a sewer, and that the body washed down to the mouth of the sewer and out into the sewer canal. Another theory is that he was murdered and thrown into the river, and that his body was washed into the canal at high tide. ANOTHER THEORY. : It is also suggested that the man tied hi trouser legs, put in the piece of brick and jumped from either the chain or the free bridge. ‘The officers kept the purse found, as it may serve as a clew at some time to the identifica- tion of the body. The face is terribly swollen, but it is thought that he could be recognized’ by any one who knew the man. THE DEPUTY CORONER'S OPINION. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer made an autopsy this afternoon and found a dent on the top of the skull, but there was no fracture. The legs of the trousers were tied with pieces of an old blue handkerchief. Dr. Schaeffer was of the opinion that the de- ceased was thrown into the river after death and was probably a victim of foul play. Anin- quest will be heid tomorrow. seston ll SHE LEAPED TU DEATH. A Woman Killed in a Runaway Acci- dent This Afternoon. A fatal runaway accident occurred this after- noon shortly before 2 o'clock. A horse attached to a wagon driven by Mrs, Ann Hessler ran away from some place not far from the O street market. Mrs. Hessler leaped from the vehicle at 6th and K streets and was almost instantly killed. The runaway horse came down the 6th street bill, just south of M street, at a three-minute gait and came near colliding with several other vehicles. Mrs. Hessler, who is an elderly woman, held the reins and did her best, but she was unable to manage the frightened horse. When the corner of K street was reached the horse attempted to turn the corner and go to the K street market, but the wagon overturned. The upsetting of the vehicle threw the horse to the gronnd and it was then that the oid lady thought she would jump and save herself, but she made her last leap for life. Dr. Stockstill was called at once, but his services were useless; she was dead. There was a bad fracture of the skull in the front — of her bead, which evidently caused ath. Policeman Trainor, who saw the accident, sent for the patrol wagon and removed the re- mains of the dead woman to the morgue. Mrs. Hessler's husband is a cripple and has a truck garden on the Brentwood road. Mra, Hessler hud been at the O street market and not having sold all her produce, was on her way to the K street market, where she expected to dispose of it. The horse’s left leg was broken and the wagon was demolished. eS THEY TOOK THE WATCH. Two Tramps Who Said They Had Rob- bed # Corpse. Last evening Lieut. Vernon received a dis- patch from Woodbridge, on the Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroad, asking the arrest of two young tramps who had taken a er watch marked J.T. McKee. When a freight train arrived they were found on it stealing a ride and were taken to the fourth precinct station house. They gave their names as Walter Short and James Nelson, each eighteen years of age, aud said they hailed from New York, to which place they were tramping. The watch was found on one of them. Their story that in walking the railroad they found the dead body of a man lying beside track aud went through him. ‘They were before the Police Court this morn- ing. Mr. McKee testified that he was a section boss on the Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroad, and he lett his coat and vest beside the road, and when he went back his watch was goue. He then telegraphed to Washington. Onticer Henry testified to the arrest of the boys and the recovery of the watch. The boys were sworn and testified that in walking along the road they saw McKee lying on the side of the track and the watch near him. They shook bim, but couldn't wake him, and then took the watch. They stated that they had started to go south, but had changed their minds and were on their way back. Mr. McKee denied that he was drunk, The court gave them 3) days in jail each. —asnnesfipemeraas The Cornell Dinner. ‘The regular annual dinner of the Washington alumui of Cornell university took place last night at the Langham hotel.

Groups of men whose hands and beards were silvered by time sat about in Edel’s bali this morning chatting together and indulging in reminiscences of war times. They were the members of the National association of vet- erans of the Mexican war of 1846, and today they met in their 17th annual reunion. In spite of the length of time that has elapeed since the members of the association closed their active careers as Mexican soldiers many of them displayed a commendable activ- ity of body as well as of mind. With the majority, however, the fashion of carrying canes pre: end good stout ones at that, which were of great assistance in help- ing the terans There were some youngsters among the number, or rather [encase were regarded as such by some of the gray-baired members, Among the boys was Mr. Joseph Mollere of this city, who is said to be the y« tt survivor of the Mexi- can war. He the service when he was a mere boy now he is only a little past middie life and considers himself s young man. ‘THE OPENING PROCEEDINGS, Shortly after 12 o’clock the president of the association, J. W. Denver, and the secretary, A. M. Kenaday, mounted the platform and the vigorous application of the president's cane on the tuble brought the members of the associa-~ tion t order, President Denver made a brief speech of welcome, in which he spoke of the dwindling numbers of the veterans as sayescioy res and infirmities carried them away, He hoped, however, that the annual meetings would con- tinue to be held and the associations which had first brought them together would still be cherished until the last member had answered the roll call. ‘This sentiment was grected with applause and then ihe president suggested that Gen. Oakes and Maj. Melbourne be be 5 oop to call on the President of the United States and ES ask him when it would be convenient for him to receive the members of the association. The committee was appointed and at onve lett the hall to perform this duty. Committees on organizatiow and resolutions were appointed, and while the committees were out of the hall the secretary, Mr. A. M. Kenaday, presented his annual report. It gave an interesting statement of the number of sur- vivors of the army, navy aud marine corps who served in the war with Mexico. It stated that the figures could not be given exuctly, but were based upon the pension appropriations, Since January 29, 1887, the total of applications of sugvivors and widows aggregate 31,022, while the certificates poe amount to 25,646, leaving 5,376 unsettled claims, ‘Of this last number (5,376) a large proportion may reasonably be set down as duplications, the residue being ‘‘suspended” cases, where the claimants are less than sixty-two years of age or have nota pensionable degree of disa- bility as iy oe by the law, and others await- ing further legislation, such as irregularly mus- tered volunteers, teamsters, and quartermas- ter’s employes. During Gen, Black's administration of the pension office about 24,000 cases were settled within two years of the date of passage of the law. Nearly a vear has elapsed since the new administration took ee cases, and about 1,452 certificates have 1 allowed, which in- dicates a very great reduction in the cierical force of the ‘old War division.” At this rate of speed, if no more applications shall be filed in the meantime, the residue of claims may be settled io about four years, unless grim death steps in and relieves the office of a great part of the labor. “Nearly two regiments of clerks,” the report said, “are employed by Uncle Sam in the pe sion bureau and with the exception of perhaps three or four efficient examiners, who are as- signed to the old war cases, the great majority are employed in rerating the pensions of the young fellows who ‘saved the country’ which the oi ee ee Mexican war made worth saving by @ willion square miles to its dimensions.” MEMBERS PRESENT. Among the members present were the follow- ing: Scott legion, Philadelphia—Casper Otten- waller, Robt. C. Weer, Jas, B, Wilson, Geo, H. Westacott, Wm. C. Haines, Francis J.

Carrington of this city in one of hi: acteristic speeches, marked by eloquence and humor, indorsed this idea. ‘THE OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED, The report of the committee on permanent organization favored the re-election of the old officers and was adopted, Resolutions were reported expressive of the sense of loss felt by the members of the association by the death of Representative Townsend of Ilinois; thanking Hon. Frank Lawler and others for their efforts to procure the massage of the inerease.service pension bill; favoring the erection of a memorial hall in this city aud also an equestrian statue to ex-President Zachry Taylor; thanking the president and retary of the aysociation for their services, The resolutions were adopted. Col, Sam Reid reminded the veterans of the fact that today was the anniversary of the battle of Bueua Vista, He said that it was appropriate on such an occasion to advocate the erection of a statute to the memory of the hero of that battle, Gen, Taylor, TO BE RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT, ‘The committee appointed to call on the Pres- ident returned and reported that the President would receive the members of the avsociation at 4 o'clock this afternoon. It was decided to hold the next annual meet- ing on February 23 in this city. A recess was then taken until 3 o'clock. Swiss has tesaamees SELLING THE NEW STAMPS. A Few of the 1890 Issue Were Put Out Today From the Post Office. = The new style of postage stamps were placed ou sale today at the city post office, but there Was no particular run on the bargain counter at the city post office where that commodity is disposed of, To the majority of purchasers the old style sickly green were given, and only the few curious ones who asked for the dark car- mine twos succeeded in getting them, The Postmaster General's order calls upon all offices to get rid of their old stamps before the now ones are put on sale generally. There are still lots of green oues in the safes at the city post office, but fortunately they can all be disposed of in a few days and then the new styie will appear in force, and red willonce more be the prevailing color in letter decora- thon, ‘The Zoological Park.

There was first a business meeting of the association, which began at about 11 o'clock, and afterward came the “fireworks” appropriate to theday. Mr. John Marbury presided. The first business done was the election of a trioof gentlemen who thought themselves old enough to join. They were: Henry Ruppert, who was born.in November, 1829; Frank Miller, August, 1829, and John Ardieser, August, 1814. MEMBERS PRESENT. ‘Then the roll was called, the following mem- bers responding to their names: John Mar- bury, president; Dr. E. L.

The president read a postal card from Mr. Henry Tolson Stewart of this city, who wants to become a member, having been a resident of this city for many years, The president noti- fied the association that he had taken the lib- erty to reject the offer of a “R.I. Crank” to join with him on this day in a parade up and down the avenue with a band of music anda flag. This met with the approbation of the meeting, expressed in a hum and audible remarks to the effect that “That's not the way we do business,” &. A PROPOSED ANNUAL MEMORIAL MEETING, Mr. Shiles reported that Mr. Thos, K. Gray, who is in failing health, was as well as could possibly be expected. Mr. Shiles soon after arose and said that he had “an idea” which might meet with the approbation of the mem- bers, He wanted to hold an annual meeting in May to respect the memory of those who die during the year. In arguing the question Mr, Shiles touched upon the matter of the at- tendance at the monthly meetings, which, he said, was very slim, He was always a “quorgm member,” unlike some of the members of the House of Representatives, aud it was his posi- tion on the subject that a man who was in his seat was present, A GOLDEN WEDDING. The president threw some light on the quer- that has been asked: “Ia marriage a failure?” by stating that one of the members of the as- sociation is soon to celebrate his golden wed- ding and he suggesied that the custom re- cently inaugurated of presenting such happy individual with a gold-headed cane be con- tinued in this case. The name of the for- tunate husband was divulged when the secretary announced that Mr. John W. Thompson would be glad to see the members of the association at bis resi- dence, 1415 Q street, on the e ig Of the 4th of March, on the occasion of the celebration of his golden wedding. Mr. Wineberger presented to the association & copy of a work entitled “A Tribute to the Memory of W. W. Corcoran,” which was ac- cepted with thanks, Ar, Shiles’ resolution in regard to the May memorial meeting was referred to a special committee, THE CELEBRATION. At noon the business meeting was closed and the celebration of the day proper was begun by the reading of Washington's farewell ad- dress by Mr. Noble D. Larner. The members listened as attentively as though they were hearing new words and new thoughts, although most of them had heard them scores of times before, Upon the conclusion of the reading, which occupied about forty-five minutes, the thanks of the association were tendered to Mr, Larner, and Marshal Wineberger begun his address upon the subject of the day, ‘MR. WINEBEKGER’S ADDRESS. His topic was ‘The Two Washingtons,” and was a comparison between Washiugton and some of the other heroes of the world who were not as fortunate in the attainment of their ambition, The speaker referred to the lack of knowl- edge which until very receutly existed us to the character of this city aud quoted from an old geogruphy to show that stute of affairs, He spoke of the world’s fair and said that if Congress decided to hold it anywhere else he would lose faith in the good sense of men aud would look to the possibility of a removal of the capital to some other city, At the conclusion of Mr. Wineberger'’s ad- dress the president read a short sketch of the late W. W. Corcoran and the meeting ad- journed. ae _ TRICKED BY A WOMAN. An Alleged Impostor Arrested—Using Mrs. Harrison’s Name, “I want to see Mra, Harrison,” said a colored woman who called at the White House yesver- day. She was a good looking and nicely dressed woman. Her name is Annie Coleman and she hives at No. 103 3d street, opposite the botanical gardens. In a short time it was ascertained that the woman honestly expected to become one of Mrs, Harrison's waiters at a grand reception she had been told was to oc- eur St. Patrick’s yight, The door keeper atthe White Honse soon dis- covered that the woman was the victim of some sort of misrepresentation and he telephoned to police headquarters for an officer, Detectives Morne and on responded and heard the colored woma stutemeut, She said that a white won called at her house seme days ago and said she was looking for colored women to act as maids and waitresses atthe St. Patrick’s night reception at the White House. Mrs. Coleman was rendy and anxious to accept the position, and the alleged agent of Mrs, Harrison made the necessary ar- rangements for the performance of her duty, SHE GAVE HER MONEY, Mrs. Coleman gave her $5 as the first install- ment toward the purchase of the costume said to be required; then she gave her $11 on two occasions and then $5, making in all $32. The white woman in return furnished Mrs, Coleman some fancy dress goods, but not of an expen- sive character, Mrs. Coleman was to have paid another @5 today, but she became suspicious of the white woman's actions and weut to tie White House yesterday to see if her suspicions were well founded. ; A WOMAN ARRESTED, { The officers looked into the case last night and this morning they arrested a woman giv- ing her name as Cordelia R. Clements, She is thirty-nine years old and has only been here three weeks, She has been stop- ping with her husband at a house on Missouri avenue. Her husband (Chas, Clements) is an artist and canvasser and Mrs. Clements also claims to be a canvasser. They have been traveling from one city to another, When arrested Mra. Clements ad- mitted to the officers that she reteived some money from the colored woman, but said she intended to return it to her later. The woman was locked up at the first pre- cinct station and will probably be giveu a hear- ing Monday morning. ee NO REDUCTION TO ACTORS, Special Rates to Theatrical Companies Declared lilegal. A decision of the interstate commerce com- mission in the case of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis railway company against the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company has been announced, The opinion was written by Com- musioner Veazey. The complaint alleges that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company has adopted and has in operation “party rates,” so- called, whereby parties of ten or more persons traveling together on one ticket’are transported at2cents per mile, which is less than the reg- ular rate for a single person, and that said com- pany also sells round “rip excursion tickets without publicly Posting he rates at which said tickets are soid.
