THE MAN IDENTIFIED It Was Alois Steinhauser Who Was Killed Near Hyattsville Yesterday. What the Investigation of the Deceas- ed’s Effects Developed in Re- gard to His Carcer. The identity of the man who was killed by a train on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road track yesterday morning near the crossing at Pike avenue in Hyattsville is no longer shrouded in mystery, but has been established beyond the question of a doubt. Justice Carr gave the baggage check to Mr. Leakin, the station agent at Hyattsville, who telegraphed the number to Baltimore and found that it correspond- ed with a trunk that was there at the depot, which had come by way of Pitts- burg. The trunk arrived at Hyattsville yesterday evening on the-local train which reached that place at 1:38. An examination of the contents of the trunk proved the deceased to be Alois Steinhauser of 3114 Portland avénue, Chicago, Ill. Papers found in the trunk showed that he was forty-one years of age and a mar- ried man, with two children, but had got- ten a divorce from his wife on the ground that she had once tried to poison him. The papers alco showed that he had been a sergeant in comrgny D, twenty-first United States infantry, and had received an honorable discharge from the army for having rheumatism and being deaf in both ears, and that he was a pensioner on thi government for $22 per month. He had a recommendation for the position of cor- poral in the United States army signed by General O. O. Howard, and an applica- tion for that position signea by Colonel H. A. Morrow, and a paper showing that he had also served in the German army; an accident insurance policy for the sum of $144 on the New York Accident Insur- ance Company, paid up to October 1894, as well as a policy for his son in the same company, together with a recommendation for employment to Messrs. Nelson Mor- ris & Co., the beef packers of Chicago; high recommendations front a number of well-known business men, numerous Ger- nan letters, photographs of himself and brother and a statement that he had passed a civil service examination for the Position of letter carrier in Chicago and received 76 per cent, were among the many articles in the trunk. Mr. George N. Walker, at the request of Justice Carr, examined the trunk and made a report of its contents, stating that all the papers had a tendency to show that the deceased, Alois Steinhauser, was a man of some means and of good reput Francis Gasch, foreman; Paul Higdon, John 1. Bowles, A. Sake Ts, Fritz Damback, Alexander Vaughn, Geo. A, Dorr, Moses Smith, Eugene A. Fowler, Wm. A. Carr, Ben. F. Chinn. It was at first believed that the deceased's name was Emile Steinhauser, as that name Was stamped on a handkerchief found in his satchel. Beside the sum of money, amounting to between $18 and $20, that was found in his pockets six $20 bills were discovered in an envelope tucked between his shirt and undershirt. An envelope ad- dressed to Mary Steinhauser, care of Frana Shear, Sheboygan, Wis., and another ‘en- velope addressed to Mrs. Minnie Stein- hauser, 3114 Portland avenue, Chicago, were found. Justice Carr telegraphed to the police au- therities at Sheboygan, Wis., asking if they could give any information in regard to Mary Steinhauser or Franz Shear, and received a reply stating that they were unknown. He then telegraphed to Mrs. Minnie Steinhauser and received the fol- lowing reply from her: “Message received referring to man get- ting killed. Advise me what letter con- tained and what name was signed to It.” The letter referred to was an evidently unfinished one, which ran thus: “October 1,1894.—Minnie,you will come, to- morrow cor. La Salle and Rando! o'clock sharp, but be sure and — This letter was written in ink and was the same one spoken of in yesterday's issue of The Star, the only legible letters on the envelope being Stein, which failed to iden- tify the deceased. There were found among other things upon the person of the de- ceased a leaf from a memorandum book, with an account of expenses from Septem- ‘ber 22 to October 3, a memorandum almost illegible refering to Denver and Cripple Creek, Col., and also to the Missouri Pa- cific road. A money envelope of the Say- ings and Trust Company of Chicago, a small envelope bearing the initials A.’ T. & 8. F. R. R., in pencil, a recent issue of the Army and Navy Register, a memoran- dum book purchased at Portlanl, Ore., a Kansas City, Mo., street guide, business cards of J. A. Rose, Kansas City, and G. A. Fellows, Chicago, railroid ticket brokers, a pair of steel-bowed spectacles and a pack- age of smoking tobacco. In the valise, which was found some distance from the “body, was a hair brush, the handkerchief stamped Emile Steinhauser in the corner, a percale shirt and flannel neckcloth. Dr. Chas. A. Wells made an examination of the body at the jury’s request, and testi- fied that there was no evidence of foul play, and that the deceased had suffered from a wound on the head, the skull being crushed, a portion of the brain protruding, and also a wound which almost severed the right leg at the ankle, either of which wounds would have produced death if allow- ed to go for any length of time unattended. There were a nifnber of vague and peculiar references in the memorandum book, one being, “Police, Joliet—I am to be shot on the 5. Fee train for fear of reporting the crew. Steinhauser.” Another was, “Di- vorce case disposed December 18, 180. Fee book, page 63- another of the strange references read, ‘October 9, 1894, left home gn R. Isl. for Omaha; as I sat down in the ¢ar the conductor called me and cursed me. They cursed me all night and called me a fool. I hope to get to Omaha soon.” “October 10, 1894. Took room and board at U. D. Hotel. It is the same here. They cursed me and called me a G—d d—d fool wherever I went.” After these memoran- dums were read it was thought that the deceased had been of unsound mind. Among the memorandums were various addresses of business houses all over the country, from Portland, Ore., to Chicago, including Kansas Citg, Omaha, Glencoe, Minn., Hillsboro, N. D., Chilon and Wis- consin, and also’a number of personal ac- counts, lst of bed room suites, a number of names with figures opposite ranging from $1 to $35, and a page giving a description of land evidently situated in the west. After examining the papers and other effects of the deceased and viewing the remains the jury adjourned to meet at the office of Justice Carr at 6:30 in the evening. It was thought that some of the crews of the early trains would appear at that time and be examined, but none of them came, and Mr. Markward,his son George and Gatekeeper Scaggs were the only witnesses examined. Mr.Howard T.Markward testified that about 6 o'clock that morning, while on his way to the station to take the early train for Washington, he met an elderly gentleman, who informed him that a man was lying on the track who had been killed by the cars. The elderly gentleman showed him a revolver, which, he said, he had found near the body. When the witness ap- proached the scene of the accident the dead body was lying between the tracks with the face partly turned upward and the right foot over the west track. The head was severely cut over the forehead, and a num- ber of cards were strewn about the track. The pistol was found toward Washington and the valise was carried some distance from the body. He had asked the elderly gentleman to help him off the track with the body, but he had declined to do so, saying that he was not used to such sights. Mr. Scaggs, the gatekeeper, said let the body stay there until the proper authorities came to remove it, and the witness then agreed to do so. Mr. George Markward, his son, then testified that he saw the body lying between the tracks. He sald that there was nq blood on the foot and it look- ed as though the deceased might have been hit at the corner of the ties. The satchel was found half way between the body and platform, and was considerably battered, Mr. Scaggs, the gatekeeper, testified that from the impression on the rail the body was struck about 100 feet off. The jury then adjourned till 9 o’clock this morning, when the railroad men of the early train will be examined. ‘There are many conjectures as tc how the unfortunate man met his death. One Is that he was a passenger on the train and fell off while attempting to go from one car to the other, or while standing on the platform of a car. This 1s based upon the fact of the satchel being found some dis- tance from the body. Another Is that he was temporarily insane and jumped from the train, and as there was something which resembled footmarigs between the track several yards from where the body was found there is still another conjecture that he attempted to board the train and was dragged under. The tramp’s story about his being seen in a drunken condition late Tuesday night near the station is not much believed, for although a broken. bottle that had con- tained whisky was found in one of his Pockets the lips of the deceased did not appear to smell of whisky. The body was embalmed by Undertaker Gasch, who stated that it would keep for several days. The elderly gentleman referred to by Mr. How- ard T. Markward was Mr. Jeremiah Tur- ner, Woodville, a brother-in-law of Mr. Charles H. Weish of Hyattsville. ——.—__ AMUSEMENTS, Albaugh's.—Mr, Robert Mantell last night Produced for the first time in this city his new play, ‘“Parhassius,” and Albaugh’s Opera House held an interested audience that closely watched the movement of the piece. It has less of action than dialogue, and the chief interest centers in its tragic ending. Mr. Mantell is seen to excellent advantage as the Greek artist, his appear- ance being graceful, his elocution clear and distinct, and his acting, particularly in the last act, forceful and effective. Mrs. Char- lotte Behrens, as Lydia, the wife of Par- hassius, was beautiful to look upon, and she interpreted the character with excellent effect. Tonight ‘The Corsican Brothers” will again be given. New National Theater.—Miss Ada Rehan was greatly admired last night for her ex- cellent performance of Lady Teazle in Sher- idan’s brilliant comedy of the “School for Scandel.”" This character exactly fits Miss Rehan, and she brings to it all the at- tractiveness of her own personality, as well as the result of a careful study of the part. Mr, Wheatleigh was a splendid Sir Peter, and George Clarke was a good Charles Surface, although he suffered by compari- son with John Drew, who used to do the part in Mr. Daly’s company. Unfortu- nately, Mr. Daly thought he could improve on the great English dramatist, and “he eliminated much of the bright and witty dialogue. Mr. Jefferson does the same thing in “The Rivals,” and the theater- goers of today lose a great deal that their elders saw and appreciated. Tonight “Love on Crutches” will be presented. “My Aunt Bridget.”—Next week at But- ler's Nev Bijou Theater will be seen Geo. W. Monroe in “My Aunt Bridge eccentricities of that stout old lady, get McVelgh,” do not seem to pall upon the public, and the well-known impersonation of Mr. Monroe is not as young as it used to be. Mr. Monroe has many new faces in his company. Miss Nellie Bland, a pretty girl and clever singer and dancer, is one of its brightest lights. Misses Lizzie Rich- mond, May Duryea, Ella Falk and Messrs. Hitchcock, Magee and Morrison are also clever specialties, But what the audience take most kindly to Is Miss Alice Hanson and her band of pickaninnies. The per- formance abounds with bright, catchy fea- tures, and the music is of that light and tuneful kind that most people like. ‘The Choral Society.—The honorary mem- bers, holders of season tickets are rapidly selecting their seats at Droop's for the “St. Paul” concert, announced for Wednesday evening, November 7. The public sale opens on Monday next, the 29th, and it Is expected that the demand will be even larger than usual. The soloists will be Miss Lillian Blauvelt, Miss Florence A. Stidham, Mr. Anton Schott and Mr, Emil Fischer. Never before has the soclety offered so large and and so interesting a program. Following Mendelssohn’s great choral master-piece is the soclety‘s fifth annual performance of “The Messiah,” with the best oratorical quartet ever presented here in that work, comprising Mme. Emma Juch, Miss Kath- erine Fleming, Mr. William H. Rieger and Mr. Ericsson’ F. Bushnell. As a lenten concert, on Tuesday, March 5, Gounod’s “The Redemption,” will be given for the first time in Washington, and on Wednes- day, April 17, Saint-Saens’ sacred opera, “Sampson and Delilah,” will be given a first performance here in concert form. The so- loists thus far engaged are Mr. A. L. Gulille, Dr. B. Merril! Hopkinson and Mr. Emil Fischer. Season tickets are cn sale at $2.50 and $5. The prices of seats will be $1, 73 and 30 cents. Prof, Kaspar is conducting largely attended rehearsals of the society, and has called extra general rehearsals for this evening and Thursday evening of next week. Musical and Literary Entertainment.—The musical ard literary entertainment to be given at St. Paul's English Lutheran Church, under the auspices of Class No. 11 of the Sunday school, takes place tomor- row evening at 7:30 o'clock. An Interesting program has been arranged, and will em- brace songs, recitations and tableaux. The proceeds of the entertainment are to go to the Luthercn Home for the Aged, located at Montello. ee G AFFAIRS I RGETOWN. Regret Felt at the Death of Mr. Ma hew Plater. Mr. Mayhew Plater has joined the ranks of the departed. He died at 6.30 last even- ing. For about six days he hung onto life by 1 mere thread. His wife and immediate friends kept close around him, as the end was expected at any moment. Paralysis of the right side and of the throat,which pre- vented his taking nourishment, was the im- mediate cause of death, while a stomach trouble of long standing was the primary cause. For nearly two days before he breathed his last he lay unconscious. Mr. Plater was one of the town’s leading citi- zens, he having been identified almost all his life with its principal financial insti- tutions, and taken an interest in all move- ments of a beneficial order pertaining to the place. For years he was in the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ National Bank, rising from runner to head bookkeeper. He enjoyed while there the particular confidence of the president and cashier, and on the death of Mr. Wm. R. Deeble,' the secretary of the Potomac Insurance Cas ¥, with the ad- A Beautiful Baby Was our boy, plump and healthy, but sores broke out on bis and his eyes were affected so that he could not see for a number of weeks.

This was) in August, 1887, In 1882 he was one of; the organizers of the First Co-operative Building Association of Gecrgetewn and was elected its treasurer, holding the office in connection with the in- surance company se¢retaryship. About two years ago, on the death of Mr. Wililla Laird, jr., the late eashier of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank, Mr. Plater became the possessor by bequest of the bulk of the Laird estate, estimated to be worth $100,000. He was a vetcran Mason and had held of- fice in the Masonie Hall Association.

He was seventy years of age. Another Death. Death carried off Mr. Dennis O’Donnoghue last night at 9:45 o'clock. He was a man well known in town. His father was the original soap manufacturer of the place, and carried on a business that brought him wealth. After his death, though, it drifted from the children. Dennis was a graduate of Georgetown College, and a man of acknowledged ability. He has been in the District health service, and was on the water works. He was also at one time connected with the Commercial Advertiser of this place. Death came immediately from a cancer of the stomach. Sanaiene Seneca! The Late Strike.
