GROUND UNDER THE WHEELS Mangled Body of Leona Maertens Found Near Deanwood. Believed to Have Been on His Way Afeot to New York—Native ef Holland. The frightfully mangled body of a man was found Saturday night about 11 o’clock on the Pennsyivania railroad track near Deanwood, not far from the Benning race track. Papers found on the body indicated that he was Leona L. M. Maertens, a na- tive of Holland, who had taken out natu- ralization papers In New York. The unfortunate man was struck by an incoming train, but nobody witnessed the accident. A number of cards found on him showed that he had been in this city, and had probably called on a number of busi- ness men. It is thought he had started to walk to New York. and was on the wrong track when the train approached. About 11 o’clock an employe of the rail- road named Parker discovered the rematns on the tracks, and notified the police. The patrol wagon‘from tke ninth precinct was sent out to the scene of the killing, and the dead man was taken to the morgue. His arms and legs had been almost severed from his body, and his head was also badiy disfigured. The condition of his body indi- cates that he was walking on the track, and was struck full in the face by the en- xine. From papers found upon him it wes learned that he was about forty-five years old and had lived in New York. Detective Carter has the case In hand, and is endeavoring to find some friends of the dead man. A great many letters were found on the body, but no money. Coroner Hammett investigated the case today, and being unable to find anybody who had witnessed the killing, he con- cluded to give a certificate of accidental death. Unless the body is soon claimed it will find a resting place in potter's fleld. ——_>—_. HOTEL PROPRIETOR DEAD. Alfred C. Lewin of Willard’s Passes to the Undiscovered Country. Alfred C. Lewis, one of the proprietors of Willarm’s Hotel, who was well and prom- inently known all over the country, died about 7 o’clock last night in his rooms at the hotel. Mr. Lewis, with his cousin, Morgan D. Lewis, secured the control of the hotel about three years ago and the two have since been operating it. The deceased met with an accident last year from which he never entirely recov- ered. A horse stepped on his foot and it was necessary to have two of his toes am- putated to prevent blood poisoning. He was taken very ill about three weeks ago and since then he has seldom left his room, although he sat up and attended to his cor- respondence and any business which was necessary. He was not thought to be se- riously ill until two or three days before his death. Mr. Lewis was a native of Cherry Val- ley, Otsego county, N. Y., where he was born fifty-five years ago. He was proprie- tor of the Oneonta Hotel there and speut his time between the latter place and Washington. He was a Knight Templar and a Shriner, and the funeral will be in charge of the two organizations. His widow and mother, three sisters and a brother survive him. The body was taken to New York this morning by Mr. Morgan D. Lewis. —— PERFECTED. THE PLA Arrangements Made for Journey of the Morton Cadets.

Not a cloud appeared to mar the pleasure of the occasion. Games of all sorts were played by the larger scholars. The little folks also came in for their share of the good times. An interesting feature of the day was a con- cert, given shortly after dinner. Later in the afternoon all gathered at the lower end of the grove, and enjoyed a refreshing treat of ice cream. About 8 o’clock the omnibuses started homeward with their lively passengers. Sunday school songs rang out on the even- ing air, and brought spectators to doors and windows, all along the way. It was quite dark when the church was rezched, and the tired but happy juveniles departed to their respective homes, not one without the feeling that the picnic had been a perfect success. —<—_— Minnehaha Social Club.

Heavy Loss Caused: by Lightning— Willie Seribneriti¢ked by a Horse —General gnd: Personal. Found—& pocket bogk eentaining a sum of money. The owngr will please call at 3140 M st. The above advertisement appeared in The Star Friday afternoon, while in the George- town news appeared another item, which stated that Mr. John H. Thompson of 1328 82d street had lost a pocket book contain- ing $117. The advertisement meant a whole lot to Mr. Thompson, and it was the means of his recovering the sum of money named. He did not know whether he had lost the money or whether it had beem stolen from him, and he so reported to the police, who had very little hope of ever recovering it. The money was found by Mrs. A. B. Jack- sen, the president of the First Co-opera- tive Building:. Association, and a well- known dry goods merchant, on M street. He picked up the pocket book on 32d street, not very far from the home of Mr. Thomp- sen, and held it for several days, expect- ing to see an advertisement in the paper announcing the loss. Net finding any, he inserted the notice quoted. A number of People called upon him and claimed to have lost money, but none was able to give the correct sum or the denominations of the money, and were turned down. After hearing of the find, Mr. Thompson visited Mr. Jackson's store, and gave the exact amount and description of the bills. The pocket book and its contents were turned over to him. The sum represented Mr. Thompson's Savings for three or four years. He is em- plcyed at Oak Hill cemetery, and each week managed to lay a small amount aside for a rainy day. He regards it as exceedingly fortunate that he recovered the money. It is safe to say that he will not carry his wealth around in his pocket any more. Barn -and Contents Burred. The heavy storm of yesterday, while not responsible for much damage in town, caused a good deal of injury in the sur- rounding country. The greatest loes sus- tained by any individual was that of Mr. John Moore, whose place is about one mile northwest from Cabin John bridge, and near the village of Potomac. The lightning struck his barn abeut 3 o'clock in the after- nocn, and destroyed it. The same bolt which accomplished this damage killed out- right a fine stallion, while three other horses were cremated in the barn. Of the herses in the stable twelve were saved. All of the vehicles, harness and feed in the frame structure were devoured by the hun- gry flames, maxing the loss quite heavy. Some of the horses burned belonged to people in this city, who had put the an- imals out to pasture for the summer months. Bombarded With Stones. There was quite a lively chase in George- tewn Saturday afternoon around 2 o'clock, growing out of a street assault. The driver of one of Shea's profluce wagons was attacked by three negroes in Foggy Bottom. The wagon and driver were bom- barded with stones, almost destroying the entire load of produce and injuring the driver. The police broke up the row and chased the negroes, who,ran across into Georgetown, up 29th street to Dumbarton avenue, and from this point they managed to escape, all sight of them being lost. Kicked by a Horse. Shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon, Willie Scribner, the five-year-old son of Mr. ‘Harrison Seribner, while. playing in Scymour’s alley, between #4th and 25th and N streets end Prospect ayenue, met with a very painful agcident. A. horse owned by John Donoghue, which is stabled in the alley, kicked the child in the face and broke its jaw bone, The patrol wagon took the little sufferer to the Emergency Hospital, where his injuries received at- tention. ‘Touched for a Watch. Eli Moore, colored, ‘aged twenty-two, whose occupation is given as a thief, was arrested yesterday by Policeman Connor on a charge of larceny from the person. The complainant is Steve Turner. Several days ago Steven was standing at 32d and M streets, when an unknown colored man approached him and started a conversa- tion. He made a favorable impression, and when he departed Stevens’ watch ac- companied him. The victim did not become aware of his loss until the strsnzer had disappeared. Moore was suspected of the theft and immediately arrested, but ‘Turner ould not identify him. Subsequently, the Police obtained additional information and rearrested Moore. He was held for the action of the grand jury. Rite of Baptism. Baptism was administered to a number of converts last evening at the Tenleytown Baptist Church by the pastor, Rev. G. W. McCullough.

Ketcham died at his residence, No. 1573 Park street, Mount Pleasant, yes- terday morning, at the age of eighty-five years. Death was due principally to old age. He had been, up to the time of his death, in the Post Office Department, con- tinuously, for more than thirty-six years. The deceased was born in Port Jervis, Orange county, N. ¥., November 8, 1812. He came to Washington in 1860 as a special agent in the Post Office Department, and was appointed a clerk two years later, holding that position at the time of his death. The surviving members of his family are a widow and three children, William Emmett of Chenoa, Ill; Lewis G. of New York state, and Mrs. R. E. Hough- ton, a resident of San Francisco. The funeral services will be held tomorrow at the residence in Mount Pleasant. Rev. Dr. Fishburn of the Mount Pleasant Congre- gational Church will officiate. The remains will be taken to Port Jervis, N. ¥., where they will be interred. Post —_—_+__—_ Death of Maj. J. B. Hoffman, Major J. B. Hoffman, father of Mrs. J. T. Granger of this city, died Saturday morn- ing at his home in Passaic, N. J. He had been in ill health for the past fifteen months, and, as he was eighty years of age, his death was not unexpected. Re- cently, however, he was able to be about the house, and to dine with his family, as usual. He contracted a cold last week, pneumonia set in and he gradually relapsed into coma, and then passed away. He was born at Smith's Cantonment, Sacket’s harbor, L. I., in 1817. His father was a colonel in the war of 1812, and all of his brothers ‘except one were army officers, and all of his sisters married army officers. There were eleven brothers and sisters in the family. For many years Major Hoff- man was freight agent of the Erie road, but recently he was engaged in private business in Passaic.
