The discovery was made through an acci- dent. A crowd of boys were in swimming at this point, and one of their number, a son of Mr. Ben. Brangell, while out in the water almost struck a floating object with @ pecuilar smell. It did not take him long to see that it was a corpse, and, scared at the discovery, he swam to shore as quickly as possible and gave the alarm: The Bedy Brought to Shore. Messrs. Gus Grimes and Wiiliam Edin- burg, two boatmen, who were near at hand, heard the excited talk of the boys, and securing a small boat rowed out to the scene. They soon reached the body, and had no difficulty in tying a rope around it and hauling it fn shore. Policemen Brown and Lucas, stationed at the entrance to the Aqueduct bridge, were notified in the mean- while, and they summoned the patrol wa- gon. The body remained at the wharf but a shert time before the arrival of the pa- trol, though in the short space of time a number of persons with morbid curiosity looked at it. Out of this grew a report that the man had jumped from the Aqueduct bridge and committed suicide, which was circulated all around the town. On account of the condition of the corpse, the body was rot taken to the poorly equipped morgue at the seventh precinct, but was carried in haste to the morgue at the sixth precinct, where better facilities for keeping the re- mains are afforded. Description of the Remains. The body is that of a middle-aged man, and is in a comparatively well preserved condition. Evidently it had not been in the water longer than two days, but in that short space of time there was some effect produced, the face being bloated and hands decomposing. The body is that of a man about five feet seven inches in height, with a rather stout appearance, weighing in the neighbor- hood of 165 pounds. The face in life was apparently full, with red whiskers and mus- tache. The upper set of teeth were false. The dress was pretty respectable, the body being clothed in a biack diagonal suit. The deceased wore an undershirt, and an outing shirt, with reddish stripes. The cuffs were held together with a pair of gold buttons, the center piece of which was a large P, fully three-quarters of an inch in length, ‘The hat was missing, and there were no shoes covering the feet, a pair of brown 3 showing up. In life the deceased was evidently a democrat, as a Bryan po- litical button was fastened in the lapel of the coat. When searched nothing was found in the pockets but a memorandum book, which contained the names of a rumber of Washingten people, giving rise to the belief that the unfortunate was a © ser, The only Yiivelry outside of the cuff buttons was a si€r open-faced watch, with a Springfleld movement, with the name of Schmidt of San Francisco en- graved on it. Not Yet Wentified. The {dentity of the unfortunate cannot be ascertained. From) the police records there is no description .of missing people which tallies with that of the drowned man. Whether or not’tt was a case of sui- cide is only a matter of conjecture. Some people believe that the absence of the shoes is a clear indication that it was a case of self destruction, while there are others who are of the opinion that the man, in seeking relief from the heat, latd down near the iver shore to cool Qffmgnd in hitsiéep roll- ed overboard and was dyowned. This latter surmise seems he? most plausible. The body will be heid at the morgue for identi- ficatior, and if no-one claims the corpse, it will be interred by the District author- ities in potter's field. No one had called at the morgue up ‘o 3 o'clock this afternoon to see the body o: the dead man. Who he is the police have not yet ascertained. In searching the body for some means of identification the morgue keeper found a notebook which contained the names of several typewrit- ers, copyists and ladies who have done work in printing offices. In addition to these, there are the names of a number of department clerks and several residents of Mgntgomery county, Md., as well as of oth- er sections of the state.

LANCASTER, Pa., August 10.—A runa- way trolley car on the Columbia and Don- egal railway last night killed sever persons ard injured fifty more. The car was re- turning to Columbia from Chickies Park, when the brake rigging broke while de- scending a steep grade. There were about rinety passengers aboard, who became pan- {c-siricken when they saw the car was be- yond control. The hill was a long ene, and every moment the runaway gathered addi- tional speed, until it is estimated by those on board that it was running fully a mile a minute when it struck a sharp curve and left the track. It ran across the turnpike running parallel with the trolley road, and struck against a tree and then toppled over into a deep ditch, being turned upside down. ‘Those who escaped injury or were only slightly wounded crawied from the wreck- age, covered with blood of their more un- fortunate fellow passengers, and at once began the work of rescue. ‘The shricks of the wounded and the plead- ings of some of the more seriously injured to be killed to put them out of their misery were most pitiable. To add to the horror of the situation there was no light of any kind until some time after the wreck. The first body taken out was that of Hen- ry Smith, an iron worker of Columbia, who had been instantly killed by a piece of wood, which pierced his head. Adam Foehlinger, the motorman, was found a few moments later under the car, having been crushed to death, and nearby him was William Pinkerton, a Columbia boy, who had met a similar fate. Chief Burgess H. H, Heise of Columbia, who had been riding on the rear platform, jumped a few moments before the car left the track, and his lifeless body was found @ quarter of a mile away, his neck having been broken. ace William M. Metzger, of Columbia had both legs crushed so badly that they had to be umputated and he dgied a few hours later. William J. Ludlow of Sea Girt, N. J., man- ager of the Atlantic Fish Company, was so badly injvred that he died shortly after be- ing removed to the Columbia Hospital. Miss Elsie N. Fitegeradd of Lancaster had the left side of her head crushed and died at 6 o'clock this morning. ‘ Those most seriously injured are as fol- lows: 2 Mary and Alice Bradiey, Philadelphia, cut and bruteed about the body. John Carlson, Colunibia, a leg broken. Samuel Wike, Columbia, ribs broken and badly cut. = E. John P. Tragesser, Lancaster, shoul- Ger crushed and cut about body. William Stauffer, Lancaster, cut on head, serious. Maggie Conley, Columbie, shoulder dis- located, cut on head, arm broken. Mrs. Mary Stauffer, Lancaster, head and bedy injured. Benjamin Wolfe, Columbia, leg, wrist and ribs broken. Charles Rhinehart, Columbia, arm and hip injured. Rhinehart, Columbia, Mrs. George O. shoulders and back jammed. Susan Shall, Bainbridge, arm, head and face cut. : Jennie List, Columbia, head and face cut and badly bruised about the body. Tile McKinsie, Lancaster, arm broken. Orrick Richards,Columbia,badly squeezed. Reese Frank, Columbia, four ribs broken. The injuries of the others consist mainly of bruises, and are considered dangerous. There were a number of children on the car, some being on the front platform, but they escaped injury. SUNDAY IN CAMP ‘The Heat Prevented the Usual Large Sabbath Attendance, All the Services, However, Were of Great Interest—Personal Items About Groveites. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 8, 1896. With the mercury standing only a notch below the century mark throughout the day, and the roadsides parched and as dry as powder, it is small wonder that the usual great rush was not made toward the camp, and the Sabbath visitors did not aggregate beyond 2,00. It was sweltering- ly hot everywhere, and boiled shirts and skillfully laundered attire will collapse these sweliering days, thus adding to the feeling of utter discomfort, the conscious- ness of untidiness, and many prefer to stew at home, where undress and deshabille is permissible. The irrepressible and ubiquitous summer girl was here, and look- ed cool and comfortable in dainty organdy, but the “bike boys,” of which there arrived a fair contingent, well, they did their level best, poor fellows, to “tidy up,” but they made an excellent foil for the daintiness of the dimity girls. The day's services began with an impres- sive sunrise prayer meeting, led by Mr. Strang, sr. By 9:15 a.m., when the taber- nacle call called to the annual love feast, the auditorium was well filled by those who had arrived by vehicle znd py the east- bound train. Evangelist Snyder presided, and it was a glorious time of refreshment and prayer. The arrival of the Washington train added a half thousand more to the congre- gation, aud the 11 o'clock preaching ser- vice was a sea of fluttering palm fans and interested, upturned faces, who listened with pleasure and profit to an cloquent ser- mon from Dr. H. R. Naylor, based upon the theme found in St. James’ Gospel, cnd chapter, twentieth verse. The mothers’ meeting in the Y. P. temple was enjoyed by many of the stranger: At 3 p.m. Rey. W. R. Stricklen, who had returned to camp after filling his pulpit at Hamline in the forenoon, having arrived by the train, brought a forcible and soi Gospel message to the overflowing congregation assembled in the shady and comparatively cool tabernacle. He spoke from the text, John 14: “Jn my Father's house are many mansions.” All the sanctuary services of the day were en- hanced in interest and attractive the delightful singing, led b : Henry Wilson, and the fine solo work of Mr. Wm. Palmer. He sang by request “Sweet Peace, the Gift of God's Love,” and many eyes wer® dimmed with unshed tears. The young people gathered to a beautiful vesper service in the tabernacle at p.m., and many testified of Christ, in re- sponse to the call of the earnest leader, Rev. Snyder, who is a successful leader of hi oung people, and is determined to is duty to them in spiritual things and foremost work. Elder L. B. Wilson occupied the desk at the everfing service, and made a brief but powerful exhortation to the people to be alert and prayerfully observant of the danger signals of the Gospel, selecting from the Decalogue the phrase “Thou shalt not xodus, 20th, as the theme of his timely warning. Evangelist Snyder took charge of the revival sérvice that followed this presenta- tion of the Word in its simplicity and rich- ness, and a young lady responded to the invitation and was converted. The committee are immensely gratified at the perfect conduct and good feeling that met them everywhere in their canvass of the ). There were no breaches of order, and only responsive courtesy, a dis- position to concede to the well-being of others and enjoyment of the services. The collections were liberal. Hotel Al- bany fed the multitude, and did it well, but the ice cream parlors were the place: of the largest activity. The supply of forty galious not being equal to the demand, they were closed early in the evening. The pumps held out and all things reflected credit upon the indefatigable efforts of President Peck and his cabinet of assist- ants. Two gentlemen were prostrated by the heat during the day. Mr. Lee Trail was oyercome early in the day, and is being cared for at the cottage of Mrs. Murphy, 4th avenue. Mr. Roberts, a guest at the cottage of Mrs. Henning, also suffering from the effects of the sun, and is attended by Dr. McCormick. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, which has been so dangerously ill Tor the past week, is improving, under the skilled and faithful attention of br. Wm. Andrews, homeopathist, of Rockville, Md. Mr. George T. Woodward, who left here recently fer a sojourn at Asbury Park to recruit his failing health, returned to the Grove on Saturday much improved, to the entire gratification of his host of friends. Mrs. Woodward accompanied him and shows great benefits from the trip to the coast. Mr. John Denham and wife of Washing- ton arrived on Saturday and are domiciled at the hotel. Mr. Appleton Cady of the Baltimore Sun spent the Sabbath in camp. Miss Willie Ward left here last evening tor a fortnigt’s visit to school friends in Martinsburg, W. Va. Mrs. Carrie Ober arrived from Laurel on Saturday and has apartments at the Al- bany. Mr. Jas. Somerville and wife are spend- ing several days in the Georgetown colony. Dr. Stevens of Washington is occupying the cottage of Mrs. Carrie Ober, on Sth avenue. Mrs. May Nash is spending the month as the guest of her son-in-law, J. Rifford Mickle. Miss Mary Stewart, Messrs. Frank Evans and Claud Stewart of Martinsburg, W. Va., were the recent guests of Miss Beulah Ward on the circl ee L. A. W.

Burns against Charles E. Burns, praying for an accounting and for a dissolution of the partnership between them, as well as the appointment of a receiver. The com- Plainant alleges that in May, 1895, he and the defendant, brothers, entered in parl- nership for conducting a grocery business at 27 6th street northeast, each agreeing to put in $500. It was also agreed, he says, that their sign should read “C. EH. Burns & Co.,” the complainant not wishing to be krown in the businesa But he charges that the defendant put only his (the de- fendant’s) name on the sign, and that he has money. derived from the business in bank, and denies the compiain. ant all information respecting thelr ‘busi- ness. Attorney W. A. Johnston represents the kaa ascuniep ee ee ‘The Late Agnes Moeller’s Will The will of the late Agnes Moeller, dated April 11, 1884, filed today, appoints Michael A. Mess as executor.

Ford, the nineteen-year-old youth whe- was shot Friday evening last by Co- lumbus Fearsoa at the house of the latter in Cissel’s alley, situated between and Potomac and Gracc and Water streets Georgetown, died at the Emergency Hi pital this morning from the effects of his wounds. Fearson, who did not attempt to escape after shooting Ford, and who claim- ed to have acted in self-defense, is in jail, and the charge of attempted murder against tim was changed to that of murder when the authorities were apprised of his vic- tim’s death. The c: use of the shooting was alleged by Fearson to have grown out of young Ford’ attentions to Mrs. Cooper, who wes Fear- son’s housekeeper. It was said that Ford and the woman were very inmate, and that Fearson, who has a wife and family residing on 21st street near L northwesi, with whom he has not lived for several years, objected to it. Ford, nowever, c. tinued to call frequently at the house de. spite Fearson’s warnings, and a week ag> last Saturday the men had an altercation, in which Ford struck his older rival with a stone. The next day Fearson again warned Ford not to come to his house, and d.splaying a pistol, declared he would shoot Ford if ne did so. To this the latter retorted that -he would call on Mrs. Cooper when he pleased. Story of the Shooting. Last Friday afternoon Ford spent some time with Mrs. Cooper in Fearson’s house, leaving about 6 o'clock. He returned short- ly before 8 o'clock, and stood on the out- side whistling for the woman. It is said that while Ford was thus engaged Fear- son raised a windcw and fired two shots from a revoiver. Ford feil to the pave- ment and dragged himself to the front of the Fearson house, where he became un- conscious and was picked up a few min- utes later by the police and removed to Emergency Hospital. At that institution it was found that one of the shots had taken effect, the ball en- tering the right side of the abdomen, tear- ing through the bladder and intestines and lodging on the left side under the vké Immediate steps were taken to save Ford's life, and an operation was performed, but he was beyond medical relief, and ‘sank steadily until death came this morning. During his conscious periods he sald noth ing of the affray, save to declare that h back was turned when the shots were fired. He was kept alive by transfusion, rallying somewhat Saturday evening, but yesterday he became delirious, and his parents and his brother and sister were summoned to his bedside. Ford was a blacksmith by trade, and resided at 1036 Jefferson street, with his sister. His intimacy with the Cooper woman was known to his family, and he was repeatedly urged to break off, but declined. Persons living in + cinity of Cissel’s alley also saw the affairs were taking, and were expecting a culmination of them like that reached. The Principals the Tragedy. Columbus Fearsen, or “Lum,” as he is familiarly called, is well known to the po- lice. He was connected with several a: fairs of an alleged disreputable nature in past years, and it is claimed that by turn- ing state's evidence in 1873 he sent the other principals in the robbery of the pay- master’s boat on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the penitentiary for long terms. Of late he is said to have been ieading a better life and following his occupation, which is that of a rigger. Fearson is nearly sixty-five years old. Mrs. Lillie M. Cooper, over whom the difficulty arose, is a good-looking woman, about thirty years old, who ieft her hus band, an engineer on the U. S. battle ship Maine, a vear and a half ago and had been living with Fearson for the last six months. She met Ford three months ago. -Mrs. Cooper disappeared after the shooting and her present whereabouts are unknown. Fearsen Unmoved. When Fearson was informed at the jail today that Ford was dead he made no special comment on it, mereiy reiterating his declaration that he had fired in self- defense to protect himself from a threat- ened attack by the dead boy. Coroner Hammett will hold an inquest on Ford’s body at the Emergency Hospital at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. The police are’ searching for Mrs. Cooper, who is re- garded as a most important witness. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook will hold an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death, ey GAY TIMES AT BERKELEY. The Ci pital Well Represented at the West Virginia Resort. BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.
