IF 80, WAS IT A CASE OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING, SUICIDE OR MURDER /—THE MYSTERY WHICH SURROUNDS THE CASE—STATEMENT OF DEPUTY CORONER SCHAEFFER, WHO MADE THE AUTOPSY. It is now believed that the body of the un- known white man found in the river @bove the | Free Pridge last month, as stated in Tae Star at the time, was that of Chas. C. Andrews, who mysteriously disappeared only two days be- fore. Andrews was last seen on the 19th of Inst month and the body of the drowned man was found on the morning of the 2ist. At that time Andrews’ disappearance had not attracted attention because it was supposed that he had gone to New York on business. His failure to return in areasonable time, however, caused anxiety among his friends and relatives. THE MISSING MAN'S CORRECT HABITS. Mr. Andrewsewas the Washington manager for Messrs. Emmart & Quartley’s decorating establishment on 13th street, near F, and he had many friends in this city. He resided in Baltimore with his family, and he made the trip on the cars between the two cities every day. On the = of his disappearance he was at work as usual and when he went away he | left his desk as person would expecting to | return in the morning. His letters and papers were all on his desk and he had removed noth- | ing, as he would probably have done had he an- ticipated an everlasting leave or sudden death, He was a man of steady habits, and his friends do not think that he fell a victim to drink or other demoralizing influenc that if the body found in the river proves | to be his, they think that he was aozidentally | drowned while bathing. What further induces them to believe that it was Andrews’ body found in the river is the fact that he had been in the habit of going up the river once in a while inasmall boat. As no row boat had been hired from any of the boat houses and abandoned it 1s probable that he went up the Tiver on this occasion on one of the small steambonts to enjoy a cool evening after a warm day, and that he went in bathing and was drowned. DETECTIVE M'DEVITT’s CIRCULAR. After the body of the drowned man had been buried among the unknowns” in potters’ field, the services of Private Detective James A. McDevitt were secured and he was given authority to offer a reward for such informa- tion as would lead to the identifying of the drowned man. Mr. McDevitt thereupon offered a reward of $50 for the recovery of the cloth- ing and subsequently asimilar reward was of- fered for any information as to the where- abouts of Mr. Andrews. A circular was pre- pared and distributed throughout the country. This circular read as follows: “FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD for any information that will lead to the where- abouts of Charles C. Andrews, who left Wash- ington, D.C., July 20. 1890. Said Andrews is thirty-eight years of age; five feet nine inches; slim built; medium complexion; «mall brown mustache; bald head, except on the lower part of his head, which he keeps cut very short; he has four front teeth in upper jaw out, which are replaced by false ones ona plate; Andrews is a very fine fresco painter, and may seek em- ployment at that business. When last seen he had on a scersucker coat, light gi blue and white flammel shirt, black and low-quarter brown shoes. y change his dress. Any one giving information of his whereabouts will be paid the above reward.” THE CORPSE EXHUMED. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer had made a post mortem examination of the body of the drowned man before it was buried. Under the direction of Mr. Frank Andrews, brother of the missing man. the corpse was exhumed for identification a few days atter the interment was made, but it was in such a bad state of decomposition that it could not be recognized with any degree of certainty. Judging from the features which could be distinguished, however. Mr. Andrews felt almos: certain that the body was that of his brother. Tho body was reinterred. but this afternoon or tomorrow it will again be taken from its resting place among the pau- ers and a careful examination will be made by Br. Schaeffer and = professional gentleman from Baltimore. It is thought that this exam- ination will prove beyond a doubt whether the body is that of the missing man Andrews or not. REPORT OF THE AUTOPSY, In response to Detective McDevitt's request Dr. Schaeffer furnished him the result of the autopsy made on the day the body was found. The doctor says: The whole skin was greatly discolored and the cuticle dotachable all over the body. The measured height was 5 feet 9 inches and the weight of the body 160 pounds, which was larger than during life, owing to ite swollen condition. The features were much changed by decomposition, but the nose seemed to be straight and well formed. No evidences of wounds or injuries before death were found after a careful examination of the entire body. No marks or old scars found, nor was there injury to the skull, The muscular development, and espe- cially that of the chest, was very good. An examination of the mouth showed that the four eyeteeth were present. All four upper incisors missing. His head was bald on top and there was very short dark hair on the back and side of head. The face showed that it had been shaved a day or two previous to death with the exception of the lip, which bore a full brown mustache. THE DocTOR's OPINION. The doctor s: I have seen the photo- graph of the missing man. Mr. Andrews, and the features did not recall those of the corpse, except that the noso appeared rather simila Still, the condition of the body was such that they may have been so changed as to have lost any original likeness, I regard the similarity of the hairas the strong point of likeness, From the memorandum shown of the missing man’s teeth, as noted by his dentist fourteen years ago, it is evident that all the teeth miss- ing at that time are all missing in this body. The identity of height is another reason for be- eving that the body is that of the missing man,” In conclusion the doctor said he thought it not improbable for the body to have changed as much as it did in two days and suggested that it be agaiu exhumed aud search be made for the ingrown toe nail, such as the missin; man had. This latter suggestion was pases g as above stated, and the search will be made this afternoon or tomorrow, THE MYSTERY WHICH SURROUNDS THE CASE. An account of the finding of the body was printed in Tur Stax at the time. The discovery was made by a colored man named West, who was along the river shore early on the morning of July 21, not far from Holtzman’s landing. The body of the drowned man was in a nude condition and no trace of the man’s clothing could be found then or afterward. although the woods for some distance were thoroughly searched for it. When Mr. Anderson disap- peared he wore agold watch and chain, and in all probability had « good amount of money in his pocket. Should this prove to be his body and the clothing is not found a new phase will be put on the affair. In that event the case would prove to be oue of suicide or robbery, and possibly murder. If the missing man went in swimming ana his clothes were found and robbed they will probably never be recovered; while on the other hand, the deceased may have committed suicide, and before doing so threw his clothing overboard to conceal as far as possible his identity in case his body decomposed before at was found. Policeman Frank Burrows, who made an in- vestigation of the casé, is confident that the deceased is Andrews, and others who saw the body and the photograph are of the same opinion. The body was found not far from some gambing dens along the Virginia shore, aud whether the dead man had been in any of them or not before his body found its way into the river will probably never be known. — a Died in Chicago. Mr. Andrew F. Drew, who formerly lived in this city, died recently in Chicago, where he has been residing for the past eight years. Mr. Drew was the son of Mr. Bernard Dr andthe brother of John W. Drew. The re- mains will be brought to this city for inter- ment. a New Council of the National Union.

The Sitieuty is, too long intervals are allowed be- tween erch successive cutting. of a week or ten days, while four or five days are quite enough, ‘The new grass is young, even and tender during the first three or four days, but if left eight or ten days till tall and hard it impedes the prog- ress of the cutter. We find that the operator will run over twice as much ground in a given time when cutting every four days as when leaving it twice as long, and it is far less lavor- ious. The S, if cut early, thickens into a close, smooth mat, like velvet, with a deeper rain when kept cut close, and it has none of the yellow, sickly appearance from a tall, shaded growth. . Za A Skull for a Flower Pot. From the Indianapolis Journal. + W. G. Van Buskirk, the master mechanic of the Terre Haute and Peoria railroad shops in Paris, Ind., has s peculiar flower pot hanging in his dooryard. This gruesome relic is made outof a human skull and is suspended with slender chains. The brain cavity is filled with earth and a beautiful growth of vines creeps from the empty sockets and grinning jaws. Across the forehead is printed the inscrip- tion: “To what base uses may we come at last,” and the beholder, as he gazes upon this ghastly burlesque on human greatness, cannot refrain from involuntarily echoing the sentiment. The skull has something of a his- tory, being that of a theological student who committed suicide. He was interred in a small graveyard, which afterward fell into aud decay = ve finally arposes, In m: ton was exhumed an: Van Buskirk's jisuse sold for building an excavation the skele- the skull came into Mr, = oe Branches of Michael Davitt’s new labor union are ceganising in Limerick and other places in Ireland with great rapidity.

The Chiefs of the Brotherhoods Will Support the Knights. The chiefs of the four brotherhoods forming the United Orders of Railway Employes de- cided unanimously last night to support the Knights of Labor in the New York Central struggle. Chief Sargent of the Firemen’s Brotherhood, who is president of the federated organization, summoned a special meeting of the supreme council, which will be held at Terre Haute on Saturday. At that meeting Chief Sargent and the chiefs of the other di- visions will recommend that a general strike be ordered. In acting upon the recommenda- tion each of the four organizations will have one vote, and according to the constitution all four votes must be in the affirmative or no strike can be ordered. If each of the four chiefs who have declared in favor of a strike has the support of one of his two asso- ciate delegates that Will settle it, and a general strike will begin some time between Saturday nightand Monday morning. The supreme council in consultation with the big knights would decide how widespread such a strike shonld be. The labor leaders last night gave the impression that the first blow would be at every road in the Vanderbilt system. A strike under the auspices of the United Orders of Railway Employes would be far more serious and would involve a vastly greater number of men than any which the Knights of Labor could order, The membership of the United Orders, it is said, includes a large majority of he railway employes of the north and east except the engineers, ‘The grand jury summoned both District At- torney Fellows and Recorder Smyth in con- sultation yesterday. The nature of the business before them could not be positively learned, because both refused to talk after they came out of the jury room. District Attorney Fel- lows said that he could say noting until the grand jury had taken some action in the ques- tion under consideration, which might not be for some days. It was generally understood, however, that the whole question of the strike had been pre- sented to the grand jury, and it was in its con- sideration of that that the recorder and dis- torney had been called in consultation. ‘as rumored that the position of the leaders of the strike was being discussed in connection with the provisions of the law defining and punishing conspiracy. Report also said that the matter had been ‘brought before the grand jury by the Vanderbilt interests, Vice President Webb was asked last night if the strike was being discussed by the grand jury and if the Central road was instrumental in bringing up the question, All he said was: “Whatever happens in the grand jury room is, of course, secret, Ihave nothing whatever to say about the matter. Icould say nothing if 1 would.” When the conference adjourned at 9 o'clock last night Mr. Sargent announced to the rep- resentatives of the press the course he would pursue. He said: “Mr. Powderly has been to see Mr. Webb, vice president, and Mr. Toucey, general man- ager of the New York Central railroad, with a view of settling this controversy. ‘They have shown no disposition whatever to treat with him or to prosont the facts as they understand them, so that he could base x just decision upon the merits of the case. We have decided, therefore, to lay the matter before the entire membership of the supreme council, and 1 have summoned the members of that body to meet at Terre Haute on Saturday. Mr. Powderly has acted honorably and has gone just as far in his position as he can, The company bas refused to consider the discharge of these men, and has not treated Mr. Powderly as he ought to be treated as the head of a labor organization, I had hoped that when Mr. Webb and } Powderly came together a conclusion would be arrivedat which would settle the whole controversy. I was very desirous that that should be brought abont, as Trealize what the result of a spread of this strike would be. But it is evident, from the attitude of the company, that it has no de- sire to settle the controversy either with Mr. Powderly or his representatives or to eubmit it to arbitration; therefore, as the situation is critical, decisive steps must be taken, “When a corporation takes the attitude that it is right, and will not allow its position to be reviewed by fair and disinterested parties, it cannot maintain it successfully betore the pub- lic. Mr. Powderly claims there is something to arbitrate. Mr Webb says there is not. Mr. Powderly is willing to leave it to a third part a fair and equitable offer, which if accepted, would speedily bring the matter to a termina- tion. Mr. Webb refuses to recede from the stand he has taken, “The Knights of Labor have appeated to the supreme council for help in this matter, and my associates and myself have come here to in- vestigate. What we have found I have just told you. Mr, Sweeny and I saw Mr Fipbb and Mr. Toucey at their request, not ouMbut the fact of our meeting them will not change our attitude toward tha a. of Labor. When I saw Mr. Toucey in Albany I urged him to settle the strike as quickly as possibie. I told him that if it was not settled soon tho strike would spread and complications might ensue which the company would find it exceedingly difficult to grapple with. The action of the supreme council will show conclusively the at- titude of the grand officers and the federation in this struggle.” When Mr. Sargent was asked how his state- ment in the morning could be harmonized with his last remarks, he said that he had learned much since Mr. Webb refused in the afternoon to discuss the discharge of the men with Mr. Powderly. More than this he would not say on the subject. The four chief officers will leave for Terre Haute early this morning. The other members of ‘the supreme council are Engene V. Debs, grand secretary and treasurer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, Terre Haute; J. J. Hanahan, vice grand master of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen, Chicago; William Sheehan, grand secretary and treasurer of the Brother. hood of Railroad ‘Trammen, Gaylesburg, Lii.; B. H.

CAR’ CASH STORE, FORECASTING THUNDER STORMS. How to Become Familiar With Certain Signs of Their Coming. From the Popular Science Monthly. When the daily weather charts are drawn, if we find that there is an unevenness in the isobaric lines—that is, if these are wavy or bulge out irregularly—we know that thunder storms are likely to burst somewhere or other over the country, but that is all we can say. At each station the barometer is unsteady—the mercury moving up and down in the tube— during the actual continuance of the storm, but this oscillation of the mercurial column has nothing to do with the irregularity in the isobariclines above mentioned. Forecasting these storms is, therefore, always an uncertain and thankless task, for local success is rarely attained. Among the earliest symptoms of the ap- proach of a thunder storm is the appearance on the western horizon of a line of cumul (wool ck) clouds, exhibiting a peculi turreted structure. I say on the western hori- zon, for most of our changes of weather come from that quarter, and it has been proved that thunder storms, like wind storms, advance over the country, generally, from some westerly point. The bank of clonds move on and over itappear first streamers and then sheets of Uphter upper cloud—cirrus (or mare's tail), which spread over the sky with extreme rapidity. Tho heavy cloud mass comes up under this film, and it isa general observation that no electrical explosion or downfall of rain ever takes place from a cloud unless streamers of cirrus, emanating from its upper surfac are visible when the cloud is looked at side ways from a distance. : a nine Among the “Four Hundred.” From Chatter. A young couple, conspicuous in the set known as the Four Hundred, who inbabit a huge man- sion in the most fashionable quarter of the town, and diligently ape the ways of the Eng- lish aristocracy, were dining alone one evening when the husband casually remarked: *By the way, Honoria, have we not a child aged about three?” “I guess we ought to have, but I'll just inquire,” replied the lady. “John Thomas, isthere a nurse in the establishment now?” “Yes, madam.” ‘Then send her tome.” Ina few minutes a daintily attired young woman appeared from a distant part of the mansion and informed the anxious mother: “Why, cer- tainly you bad a child up to last Sunday. but I lost her down town one day last week. But, no matter, the detectives are after her, and when I get her back I'll duly notify.
