NO SIGNS OF SUICIDE Well - Known Member Marine Band. of the FUNERAL SERVICES —_>——_. In an advanced state of decomposition, the body of Louis Gebicke, trombone solo- ist, and until recently assistant leader and business manager of the band of the United States marine corps, was found late yesterday afterncon in a deep ravine in the vicinity of a hotel conducted by Mr. Charles O. Brill, on the Conduit road, about five miles from this city. Mr. Gebicke was missing since Thursday, September 3, and the remains were found by Mr. Brill. Ab- solutely no indication of suicide has ap- peared, while there is every reason to be- Heve that death was due to exposure to the weather at a time when the physical con- dition of Mr. Gebicke was weak and sus- ceptible. The deceased left his home on the after- noon mentioned, and his family were ig- norant of his whereabouts or condition un- til informed of the finding of the body last evening. ‘The police were also unaware of thé disappearance until a day or two ago. Mrs. Brill, the wife of the hotel keeper, read @ newspaper report yesterday of the disappearance of the bandsman, and it proved of unusual interest, for the reason that Mr. Brill and Mr. Gebicke were good friends, and the latter frequently visited the hotel. Mrs. Brill informed her hus- band of the reported disappearance, and from the harkeeper it was learned that Ge- bicke was last seen at the hotel on the afternoon of the 3d instant. On that oc- casion, it afterward occurred to Mr. Brill, he had lunched with Mr. Gebicke, and the visitor had eaten four raw reed birds. He had also been drinking to a considerable extent. On ieeving the hotel Mr. Gebicke walked in the direction of the Potomac river, explaining that he was going for a swim. That was the last seen of him alive. The Body Found. After receiving this information, Mr. Brill yesterday started in the direction taken by Mr. Gebicke, fully expecting that he had b2en drowned. After proceeding about five hundred yards, Mr. Brill wae horrified upon seeing the dead body of his friend resting on some rocks in a deep, se- cluded ravine between the canal and the tracks of the electric railway. It was evi- dent that the man had been dead fully a week, for the body had been somewhat mutilated by insects and hogs. Mr. Brill at once notified the sheriff and coroner of the county, and also Capt. F. H. Harrington of the marine corps. After an investigation, the sheriff decided that an inquest was unnecessary, making it of rec- ord that “Louis Gebicke died by the visita- tion of God in a natural way, and not oth- erwise.” With the exception of three one- dollar bills, nothing of value or importance or in explanation of the death of Mr. Ge- bicke was discovered. At the directicn of Capt. Harrington, Lieut. Shaw and Drum Major Martin vis- ited the fatal spot, and the body was turned over to them by the coroner of Montgomery county. Capt. Harrington, with Undertaker Boteler, later went after the body, and it was taken to the under- taker’s establishment, on 8th street south- east, directly opposite the marine barracks. The weekly concert of the Marine Band was ir. progress at the barracks when the announcement of the finding of the body was made. The concert was immediately discontinued out of respect to the deceased. The news caused general sorrow at the barracks, where Mr. G@ebicke was much liked. The Bereaved Home. Mrs. Gebicke was almost heart-broken when the sad tidings were borne to her. She had been in a high state of nervous excitement for eight days, owing to the unexplained absence of her husband, and the fact that he was dead proved a de- cidedly hard blow. Many friends visited the distressed widow last evening and to- day at her residence, 210 F street north- east, and endeavored to comfort her and her six young children, as far as possible. According to Mrs. Gebicke, her husband had been disconsolate for some time, and especially so since he was deposed as as- sistant leader of the band. A week ago last Wednesday Mr. Gebicke returned to his home at the conclusion of the band concert at the Capitol, and remarked to his wife, “My heart is broken." He would say nothing more. Mrs. Gebicke never for a moment entertained an idea that her hus- band had committed suicide. Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the Marine Band, expressed to a Star reporter deep re- gret at the death of Mr. Gebicke. In re- gard to depesing him from the assistant jJeadership of the band, Prof. Fanctulli ex- plained that during the concert at the Cap- itol Wednesday before last Gebicke appear- ed to be under the influence of liquor. He made several mistakes and was reproved by the leader. After the concert Gebicke left and failed to report the next day and thereafter. Prof. Fanciulli declares that he was never unjust to Gebicke in any way. The Dead Man. The deceased was thirty-three years of age and was & powerfully built man. He was a native of Frankhausen, Germany, and had been in this country fourteen years. In Germany he was a member of Efhurt’s military band, and in America joined Gilmore's celebrated organization. At the request of Prof. Sousa he joined the Marine Band seven years ago, but, becom- ing dissatisfied, he left and played with some local bands, finally securing an ap- pointment on the police fcrce. When Prof. Fanciulll took charge of the Marine Band Gebicke returned to the ranks, and by nis skill and ability as a musician arose to be the assistant leader. Shortly after, having trouble with the leader, he requested his discharge, but this was refused. He was a member of the Police Relief Association, the Eastern Athletic Club and the Columbia Athletic Club, his jovial disposition win- ning him a large circle of acquaintances. No marks of violence or indications of suicide could be found on the body by the undertaker, who made a careful examina- tion. Owing to the decomposed condition of the remains they were taken to Congres- sicnal cemetery by the undertaker this morning and placed in a grave. The latter will not be closed, however, until 4 o'clock this afternoen, when funeral services are to be held. Funeral Services. Capt. Harrington has determined that the body shall be laid to rest with proper honors. The full Marine Band and the en- tire command quartered at the Marine bar- racks has been ordered to assemble at 3:30 o'clock. The marines are to parade with side arms only, and will proceed to the cemetery under command of a non-com- missioned officer. At the grave the band will render appropriute selections and a firing party of sixteen, commanded by a sergeant, will discharge the customary number of volleys over the grave. The chaplain of the corps being absent on leave, an effort was made this afternoon to have the pastor of the church of which Mrs. Gebicke Is a member officiate. Should this plan for any reason not be carried out Capt. Harrington will detail a commission- ed officer of the corps to read the burial service. Capt. Harrington has been very active in seeing that the caring for the body and the funeral were properly carried out, remaining awake the greater part of last night for that purpose. To a Star reporter Capt. Harrington characterized the theory that Gebicke committeg suicide as being without foundation. If is the opinion of Capt. Harrington that while in a weak physical condition Gebicke was exposed to the severe rainstorm of a few days ago, which directly caused his demise. Mrs. Gebicke end her six children are residing with relatives at 210 F street northeast, and it is understood that the family is without means other than such as is furnished by the relatives. The members of the Marine Band today made up a generous purse which is to be turned over to the widow.

DEMOCRATS’ DILEMMA Difficult to Find a Place to Hold the Bryan Meeting. The Base Ball Park Will Be Occupicd and No Hall ts Large Enough —Secking a Solution. The members of the joint committee of the democratic organizations of the Dis- trict having in charge the arrangements for the ratification meeting which is to be addressed by Candidate Bryan in this city a week from tomorrow were in a peck of trouble today over the question of a place for the meeting. It was originally deter- mined to hold the rally in Convention Hall, but owing to the great demand for tickets of admission, which surpassed in number of persons the capacity of that big au- ditorium, the committee determined to en- gage the National Base Ball Park. This action was predicated upon the belief that Mr. Bryan would make his address at night, but yesterday it was definitely learn- ed from the managers of the democratic speakers in Chicago that Mr. Bryan could not possibly reach here earlier than 5 o’clock on the 19th instant, and that he would be obliged to leave for Baltimore the same evening at ten minutes before 8 o'clock. Capt. John S. Miller, who is chair- man of the subcommittee on hall or grounds, had a talk with Mr. Earl Wagner, the owner of the ball park, and endeavored to get him to have the New York-Washing- ton base ball game which is scheduled here for the 19th instant commenced at an early hour in the afternoon, so it might be finished in-time for Mr. Bryan to occupy the park at 5 o'clock. Obstacles in the Way. An examination of the rules governing the league discovered that the game could not be commenced more than fifteen min- utes earlier than the regularly scheduled time. Mr. Miller, on behalf of the com- mittee, then offered to pay all the expenses of the Washington base ball team to New York if Mr, Wagner would take the play- ers there fr the game. Mr. Wagner replied that to do such a thing it would be necessary to get the per- mission of every other club in the league, which he did not think it would be possible to get because of the close struggle in pro- gress between Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn and Washington in the second di- vision, Mr. Wagner said he knew he would have an audience in New York of 10,000 persons, and he knew he would not have arything like that number of spectators at the game here, but that it would be an ad- vantag2 to New York to play on the home grounds there, and as the Washingtons were trying to beat Brooklyn out, and he would willingly give up $5,000 to be able to do so, he did not see his way clear to play- ing the Saturday game elsewhere than on his own grounds, much as he would have Bked to accommodate the democratic or- ganizations and the public of Washington. The Old Base Ball Park Suggested. The members of the committee were, therefore, confronted with a more serious problem than ever, and many suggestions were made about appropriate places in which to hold the meeting. The inade- quacy of Convention Hall to accommodate the expected crowd prevented it from being taken into consideration again. There was some talk about erecting a stand in front of the City Hall, where so many political meetings have been held in the past, and letting Mr. Bryan speak from that, but it was feared that if the Bryan crowd here was as impetuous as it was said to have been in other cities that there would be great dan- ger to the life and limb of those attending from the constant passing of electric cars at this point. The old Capital Base Ball Park was then suggested, and it is among the probabilities that this inclosure will be chosen for the gathering. Capt. Miller said today that he believed that he knew 75,000 people in Washington, and was almost equally as certain that three-fourths of them had applied to him either personally or by letter for tickets to hear and see Mr. Bryan. ‘There will be a meeting of the joint com- mittee at Myers’ Hotel tonight, and it is probable that something definite will be done regarding the meeting and the place of holding it. Sewall May Be Here. In a letter responding to the invitation of the democratic central committee to attend the ratification meeting on the 19th instant Vice Presidential Candidate Sewall’s reply from Bath, Me., under date of September 9, was received here today. After expressing his thanks for the invitation, Mr. Sewall says: “hardly believe I will be able to attend. Cannot make my plans until the close of cur campaign, the 14th instant. If, after that date, I find it practicable I will wire ‘ou.”” ‘The committee believes that Mr. Sewall will arrange his affairs so as to come. ae His Will Filed. The will of the late Henry L. Cranford was admitted to probate today, Joseph H. Cranford, a son of the testator, being ap- pointed administrator, his bond being fixed at $5,000. The personal estate is valued at $265,000. = Made Sole Beneficiary. The will of the late Thomas P, Collins, naming his widow, Margaret Collins, as executrix, and making her sole beneficiary, was filed today. The instrument is dated June 18, 1896. YELLOWSTONE. PARK The Buffaloes Are Nearly All Gone From There, Poachers Have Been Caught With Bison Heads in Their Possession and Systematically Ponished. “-' eat Yellowstone National Park has received no improvements ibe past year, because the Northern Pacifig railrpad is the princi- pal stockholder in. the park association, and is unable to spend money on it. Capt. Anderson, in his fifth amnual report, just filed with Secretary Frangis, says there is great need of new hetels and lunch houses. There should be a) Rotel:at Upper Geyser Basin and at the Themb of the Lake. This is to accommodate the class-of visitors who have aburdant means, and after coming long distances to: sce the beauties and wonders of the park, are disappointed if they do not find 00d hbdtel accommoda- tions. There Is a large class of visitors who go through the park in camping par- ties in charge of Ifcensed ‘conductors. The authorities In charge 6f the park confess that these parties annoy;them not a little. They are carele:s about their camp fires, and continually threaten serious damage by fires. Besides this they are not so senti- mental as they might be in their regard for the natural features of the park, which should be preserved from curiosity hunters. Capt. Anderson would like to have all the accommodations in the park monopolized by one company, and the terms kept rea- scrable for good gervice. Another thing that ought, he thinks, to be consolidated under one control 1s the Yellowstone Lake steambcat franchise. The present steam- boat company desires to rush _ tourists through tke park, as it receives the same pay whether stop-over privileges are grant- ed or rot. The hotel people, on the other hand, would like to prolong the stay of visitors. Thus there is a .clashing, of in- terests. HES Travel Falling-Of. ; Travel to the park has fallen. off last year, and this because of the hard ‘titfés: Last season snow blocked some of the roads until June 20, Still, 2,800 people visit- ed the park. One of the important things dcne this year has been the survey of the west boundary line by Lieut. Bromwell. Suitable monuments have been set up, so that hereafter this line will not fluctuate a quarter of a mile or so, according as there is high or low water in the lakes from which the boundary was originally describ- ed. Stones have been set up to mark the east point of Yellowstone lake, its south point, and the west point of Shoshone lake, as well as the initial points of the four beundaries cf the park. Great danger was apprehended all last’ summer from fires. The son was exceptionally dry, and ‘3_were careless, as usual. The pa- trols had to be more than ever cautious. Over 100 camp fires were extinguished, any one of which might have caused a terrible forest conflagration. Outposts have been maintained all over the park, and roads built, so as to reach them with supplies. The Wyoming approach to the park is in fair condition, and the road is rapidly being improved. Much road building was done last year also, on the east and west ap- preaches. Although the area of the park is greater than that of the state of Con- necticut, but $30,000 has for several years been allowed for its protection and im- provement. This year $35,000 is available. Capt. Anderson thinks $100,000 ought to be appropriated for about two years, and then the roads could be completed and surfaced with stone. This, he supposes, would an- ticipate and stop the demand for trolley roads. Ponching. Poaching has gone on during the year. Ten carcasses of buffalo were found last summer. One man was caught with four buffalo heads in his: possession. and his relatives swore the kHling was done in Idaho and he got aff, The trial was so ex- pensive to him, howeyer, that {t had a good effect on poachers. Four arrests were made on north botrjdari and the parties fined $50 each. Thé Wytming and Mon- tana authorities seem willing to co-operate against the trespas#érs. Paaho people seem inclined to encourage péaching. All kinds of game, excopt béifalo,7mre increasing in the park. 5 Capt. Anderson hes redfty to ship to the Zco here in Washitikton ‘fn November six elk, five antelope, four;beaver and two black Lear cubs,” together with several birds. paeeery It is not known how riany buffalo there are in the park, s herff'of eigh: visited the corral provided’ for their shelter last winter, but wandered off-again. Scattered bunches have beenygeen,,and it is possible there are fifty in all'in te park, Capt. An- derson says it is'a doubtful problem whether he will beable t@ save them. Na- ture and man are both against them, he says. In his recommendations, after asking $100,000 for roads, Captain Anderson sug- gests putting another company of troops in the park. It is likely that Congress will allow extra pay to Captain Anderson in accordance with precedents in similar places. There is an unusual drain-upon his hospitality from private and official visitors, and he says it takes all his pay to meet the re- quirements of the place. Similar sllow- ances are made at West Point, the military prison and Carlisle Indian school. The ad- jutant general last year recommended such action, but Congress passed it over. —____—__-e.—__ The republican campaign in Connecticut was formally opened by a big mass meet- ing at New Haven, preceded by a street parade. The speakers were Senators Platt and Hawley and ex-State Senator James R. Graham. : THE RATE WARFARE Effect of the Injunction on the Con- testing Lines, It MAY BE FAR REACHING Judge Speer’s Action is Generally Approved. THE SOUTHERN ———— ROAD There have been no new developments in the .war between the Scuthern and Sea- board Air Line railway companies since the publication in yesterday’s Star of the report of the injunction issued by Judge Speer of the United States court for one of the Georgia districts. While the immediate jurisdiction of Judge Speer extends oaly over the southern part of the state of Georgia, the orders issued ty him will, it is believed by railroad men, be obeyed throughout the entire system of both campanies ir volved. Up to a late hour today Vice President Baldwin of the Southern, who was n by a Star reporter in this city, had received no information on the subject beyond a brief telegraph dispatch,stating what Judge Speer had done, but he expected, he said, to get further news relating to the matter during the day. The Effect. The action taken by Judge Speer may have a far-reaching effect on the rate war between the competing roads in the south. The injunction will bring about a special meeting of the Southern States Freight As- sociation. This step is in line with that taken after the promulgation of the injunc- ton of Judge Simonton of South Carolina, who dissolved his injunction for want of jurisdiction. The call for the meeting will Probably be issued to all the roads com- prising the organization tomorrow. The railroad officials are not prepared to say what the effect of the injunction will be until the order is received and the terri- tory to which it applies is defined. The significance of the mandate depends, of course, largely on the jurisdiction of Judge Speer.+ Both the principal contestants operate lines within that jurisdiction, but it is thought the order will affect the Southern to a greater extent than the Seaboard. Vice President Baldwin of the Southern re- ceived a brief telegraphic announcement of the injunction, and yesterday afternoon talked the matter over informally with Vice President Andrews. They said the in- junction would be obeyed, and that no steps would be taken by the Southern pend- ing the hearing of the injunction. Generally Approved. Railroad and business men in this city who have been interviewed on the subject of the latest injunction are inclined to the opinion that the action of Judge Speer is entirely proper under all the circumstances, and as necessary to prevent demoralization of railway and steamship rates, together with the destruction of many business in- terests throughout the country. Since the present rate war began financial men and others who have the welfare of the masses at heart have given the affairs of the two principal companies at war much thought, and there has been a pretty thorough examination of reports of both lines as to their income, etc., and the con- clusion has been reached that it is not for the best interests of either line that the fight now on hand should continue any longer. A gentleman who is not identified with either company, but who is in a position where he can keep nimself thoroughly in- fcrmed on these matters, says the Seaboard Air Line has made no report of {is opera- tions as a system since 1sy1. The balance sheet of the varicus rail- Ways composing the s3stem show, ho ever, that during the fiscal year ‘ending June 30, 1891, there was a profit of $21, 056; in 1892, a profit of $44,365; in 1803, a Ices of $337,403; in 1804, a loss of more than $675,000, and in 185, @ loss of over $189,000; the total in the years named be-" ing more than $1,200,000. These figures are thought to demonstrate that during the last three or four years there has been a steady falling off in the receipts of the company and the question is frequently asked, what do the Seaboard people mean by cutting rates and thus re- ducing their revenues, when at the full tariff rates it has, according to its official reports, been unable to earn as much as is necessary to meet expenses and fixed charges. The Southern Railroad. The Southern Railway Company makes no secret of the fact that a reduction of rates means great loss of revenue to It. It is yet in its infancy, being but about two years old, but by wise management President Spencer, aided by the iiberal expenditure of money on the part of its stockholders, principal of whom is Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, has succeeded in making it one of the finest systems in the United States. It Is, however, laburing under an enormous debt, most of which is carried at 5 per cent interest, and this cannot be earned, it is said by those who are in a position to know, if the rate war, now tem- porarily brought to a close by Judge Speer’s injunction, is resumed. Vice President Baldwin of the Southern railway said this afternoon that the action of the road in reference to the injunction issued by Judge Speer of the southern district of Georgia is now in the hands of the legal department of the company. His opinion is that the roads may continue to carry at the reduced rates up to the lines of the district presided over by Judge Speer. The Southern States’ Freight Association today filed with the interstate commerce commission its new schedule, to go into effect September 14, reducing its rate on first-class freight from New York to At- lanta from $1.14 to 77 cents. Atlanta is the central point, but other points also come under the reduction. The rate from Provi- dence and Boston to Atlanta is reduced to 89 cents, and from Philadelphia to 71 cents. The Seaboard Air Line also filed its sched- ule of rates, to go into effect September 14, reducing the prices from New York to Atlanta via the Old Dominion line of steamers from $1.14 to 77 cents on all points reached by the Seaboard. a DISTRICT GOVERNME: Garbnge Crematory. The Commissioners this afternoon gave out a statement concerning the new garb- age crematory that is shortly to be erected on the site near the old observatory. Attention was called to the visit of the representative of the Smith furnace yester- Gay, as printed in The Star, and the ques- ticn asked by a reporter of The Star, what, if anything, had been accomplished yester- Gay afternoon? ‘The reply of the Commissioners was that the Commissioners had learned from the representative of the Smith furnace, which they long ago selected as their choice of furnaces to be erected in Washington for disposing of the city’s garbage, that the manufacturers of the furnace were still en- gaged in its manufacture, and ready to carry out their contract with the garbage contractor. “From that it would appear that the Smith furnace would be the one that you will insist upon,” suggested the reporter. “Undoubtedly, unless the contractor can nullify his contract with the Smith people. The Commissioners do not desire to inter- fere in this matter. If a contract exists be- tween the garbage contractor and the Smith furnace people, and that contract is geod and binding, then there will undoubt- edly be a Smith furnace erected. But, and this is important in the final disposition of the matter, #f it is developed that no good contract exists between the garbage con- tractor and the Smith furnace people, the contractor has the option of putting up either a Smith plant or the Dixon system of our special construction. That is all there is to the case.” Bids Rejected. The Commissioners have ordered the re- jection of all bids for the brick addition to the Garfield Hospital. The appropriation was $7,500, and the lowest bid $7,900. The pians will not be altered, and the readver- tisement will be made tomorrow. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMERTS. AMUSEMENTS.
