MRS A, BODY OF MURDERED MAN IS RECOVERED NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—There is no room for doubt that the body found in the bay at Keyport, N. J., last evening was that of Frederick IHardy Jr. of Mount Pleas- ant, Tenn., or that the young man (who was 21 years old) was murdered and an at- tempt made to conceal the crime by sink- ing the corpse in the bay with a stone attached to the body. The accumulation of gases in the body caused it to rise to the surface, and it was discovered by oystermen. The pockets of the clothin; O irhed inside out, and his money and watch were gone. There were evidences that Hardy had been beaten on the head. Hardy, who came to New York to study art, was last seen alive Sunday evening, October 22, when he left the home of B. C. Moxham, an old family friend, living in the Fort Hamilton district of Brook- lyn, for his boarding place near by. He could not have had more than $3) with him. s CORPORAL COCKRILL DEAD.

He went to the Phillppines, where he con- {racted consumption, and when a few weeks age his regiment came back he was brought home to dle. Yesterday after- noon he was told that his regiment was then being mustered out at the Presidio. “1 will be mustered out myself to-mor- row,” he replied. This afternoon just before sunset the final taps were sounded and he went to answer his last rollcall. The funeral will take place on Saturday. Corporal Cock- rill was well liked by every one, and when he came up from the Presidio a few weeks ago quite a contingent from his regiment accompanied him. He was a gon of the late Z. A.

Drowned Himself While His Case Was Being Defended. P AKLAND, Nov. 2—Chas. O. Alex- ander, Assistant Postmaster, con- cerning whom rumors of a short- age in the Oakland Postoffice have been circulated widely the past few days, committed sulclde late this aft- ernoon by drowning in the estuary of San Antonto. The sulcide was very determined, and is particularly sad, from the fact that he | dled in total ignorance of the fact that s two most influential friends, Sanl(‘t‘ Perkins and Congressman Metcalf, were interceding with the postal authorities at | Washington, while he was wallowing in | the mire, to defer any action in the mat- | ter of the shortage until they should | reach Washington. | Alexander's body was found lying on PR SR S S S N S S S S East Oakland, shortly after 5| lock by Thomas Weingart, residing on | ast Fourteenth street.

In it he found a hat and coat, which were late to-night turned over to Sergeant Clarke of the Po- lic Department and taken to the Morgue. But in its pockets nothing was 1 in the way of a farewell message or note touching upon the cause for the suijcide. Alexander was seen on Broadway at 1 o'clock this afternoon by . A.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 — Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen have de- cided to have their marriage take place in the latter part of the month, possibly be- fore Thanksgiving Day, although much will depend upon the completion of the bridal trousseau before the date is defi- nitely determined upon. Both Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Hazen are opposed to anything verging upon display and have informed their friends that they will be married in the same quiet, informal man- ner as were Rear Admiral and Mrs. Lud- low several years since. Mrs. Ludlow is Mrs. Hazen's sister. The date of their marriage was glven out only the night before and the ceremony was performed in the morning. There were no extra flowers, music or anything of the sort, and only the immediate fam- ily witnessed the ceremony. This Is ex- actly to the liking of Admiral Dewey and Mrs, Hazen and they have decided to fol- low the same simple ceremonial to the letter. The ceremony will be performed in the Empire drawing room of the mansion of Mrs. Washington McLean, and Cardi- nal Gibbons, assisted by = Archbishop Keane, under whose instructions Mrs. Hazen'became a Roman Catholic, will of- ficiate. 1f Cardinal Gibbons cannot be | present, it is sald the Archbishop will tie the nuptial knot.

Deick of the Union Hotel, Charles Magnes of 916 st Iourteenth street and Joseph F 1109 Sixteenth street, they saw_ Alexander wallowing in the soft mud, frequently throwing his body forward as if diving, and thus he struggled until, exhausted, death came to his relief. It was impossible for the Coroner's deputles to secure Alexander's coat. Cap- tain Falkman had taken it in his boat to his schooner and the tide had ebbed until several hundred feet of mud stretched from the wharf to the water's edge and the coat was not secured until late to- night. All evening and until nearly midnight the Morgue was thronged with visitors to view the remains. Among them was Postmaster W. H iend, who expressed his deepest sorrow. A bunch of keys be- longing to the Postoffice found in one of the dead man's pockets was turned over to Mr. Friend and he did not tarry long. Later Senator Stratton and F. E. Brig- ers, huge bunches of American beauty or pink roses, as well as clusters of brilliant vellow and pink chrysanthemums. BUT NOSES APART. Exciting Finishes the Rule at the Agqueduct Races. NEW YORK, Nov. 2—The Pride, Trillo and Dan Rice were the winning favorites at Aqueduct to-day. Head and head fin- ishes were the rule, the last race being the single exception. The track had dried out and was fast, and the clear, cool | weather attracted a good crowd. The | fourth race, a handicap at a mile and a sixteenth, was the feature of the day’s sport. Only four went to the post, but | they were so well matched at the welghts that they were all lapped at the finish. Trillo was the favorite, but all had a fol- lowing.

OAKLAND, Nov. 2—The funeral of Edwin W. Leach, the ploneer and father of F. A. Leach, superintendent of the Mint, was held this morning at the First Congregational Church.

Brown, who conducted the services, pald a fitting tribute to the rec- ord of the deceased and in his remarks said: “The modesty and the simple life of our departed brother would not allow of my applying in any extended eulogy to him these considerations. It therefore only remains to say that he lived a use. ful life, along with many other of these ploneers, in upbullding ‘the community and laying the foundations of a health. ful civic life.

Starr Jordan W SYMPHONY CLUB RESUMES WORK AT LAST Mrs. Phebe Hearstthe Patroness. HOLMES CHOSEN kil Seee R PROF. WILLIAM CAREY JONES IS PRESIDENT. S A few weeks ago The Call made the announcement that there was trouble in the Symphony Society and that the mem- bers were highly indignant because of . e carelessnoss of the officers in m king ar- rangements for a new series of concerts. The article further stated that in ca: nothing is done within a reasonable time preparations will be made to organize a separate body, whose purpose it shall be to commence a the symphony concerts. The meeting has finally been held, and the following com- mittee has taken charge of affairs. It must be understood that this commui.tee is in no way connected with the old Symphony Society, but w according to its own ide The committee consists of of Callfornia, chairman; H. B. Pasmore, Robert Tolmie, J. N. Odell, W. A. Sabin, and Mesdames J. N. Odell, A. . Morri- son, J. N. Goewey, James Tucker, C. Richardson and J, J. Price. Mrs. Phebe Hearst, in accordance with her usual desire to aid beneficial movements, kindly donated the sum of $2000 for the purpose of commencing the concerts. And her main desire in acting thus generously was to enable the new society | to defray expenses so that the musicians may recelve their price of $8 per concert, which she claims is by right due them. The conductor will be Henry Holmes, a musician whe has had a great deal of ex- perience in tMs kind of work, and ho possesses exceedingly flattering tesi.- monials from the foremost musical authorities. He was until recently member of the Royal Conservatory of Music in London, and has a eplendid record in Europe. He recently organized a chamber music quartet in ‘his which will begin concerts next Tuesday at Century Club Hall. Mrs. Hearst hopes that her .ionation will create an interest among he sub- scribers o the old symphony concets, and spur them on to encourage a move- ment which is so_essential to musical progress in San Francisco. ‘The irst symphony concert will take place at the Grand Opera-house on Thursday, Decem- ber 7, at 2:30 o'clock p. m. Professor Jones, who was very prominently men- tioned for president for the University of California a short time ago, is a man of great executive ability, and will no doubt prove a 3plendid presiding officer. The committee put itself on record as an able body of people by arranging a scale of prices which will enable every student, be he every so deficient of means. to attcnd them. The seating capacity of tae opera- house permits a 2-cent admission fee, and for this purpose the family circle or balcony has been selected. 'he other prices will range as usual MILES IN WASHINGTON.
