ANOTHER SUICIDE.
A Man's Dead Body Found in the
Woods Near Morrellville.
HE HAD BEEN DEAD SOME DAIS
*Two Little Make a Startling Dlst overv
While on the Hunt for Wild Flowers—
They Give the Alarm and the Local
Authorities Make an Investigation— I The
Inquest and the Jury's Verdict—The
Body Taken to Henderson's Morgue.
The usually quiet town of Morrellville
was thrown into a high state of excite
ment late yesterday afternoon by the an
, nouncement that the body of a man who
had evidently committed suicide had been
toaud in the woods above that place.
The particulars arc as follows : A num
ber of little girls were hunting wild flow
ers in the woods on the bill above the
farm occupied by John Hyder on the
south side of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
a short distance east of Morrellville. Two
of the girls—Jennie Marsh and Annie
*" Bingell—were a little distance away fiom
the others of the party. They were mov
ing onward plucking flowers as they
* walked, when Jennie raised iter In ml to
look for more flowers. Iler fright can
better he imagined thau described, when
she saw within a few feet of her the dead
body of a man, die face bespattered with
blood, in a reclining position at the foot
of a large tree. It need not he said that
the two little girls didn't take the second
look. Tbey ran homeward as fast as
girls ever did. On their way they passed
the house of Albert Findley, whom they
briefly told of their extraordinary experi
ence. He directed them to tell Constable
Bart Ribblett, of Lower Yoder township,
who lived near. They did so, and Mr.
Ribblet asked them to go with him to
show where the body lay.
Returning with Mr. Ribblett the girls
pointed out to him where they had made
the startling discovery. And there he
Hound the dead man's body, the feet
planted against a large stump, while partly
sitting and partly lying against the base
'of a tree, so close to ihe stump that his
knees had been raised somewhat to enable I
him to get into the space. His body lsy
partly on the left side, resting oil the left
elbow. Between the knees lay a revol
ver, A bullet hole was near the right
temple, the hair on the right side ol the
head was scorched, and the face was
stre iked with blood. The right baud ivas
sprinkled with blood, evidently when the
shot was fired. Apparently the man had
taken lus own life.
Mr. liibblett, after briefly viewing the
situation, returned to Morrellville and
noticed 'Squire J. A. Ambrose, who in the
absence of the Coroner, empanelled a
jury composed of James Spealman, Henry
Doyle, Albert Finley, Thomas Risinger,
SoiomonCarl. and J, T. Ilarnish.
The' Squire and Jury repaired to the
scent of the finding, and proceeded to in
vestigate the matter as far 8S they were
■able. The body was carried out of the
woods to the road, when it was loaded on
the morgue wagon—the morgue author
ities bavins been no'ified in the mean
time, and the wagon dispatched at once—
and taken to 'Squire Ambrose's office on
Main street, Morrellville. Theie the in
quest was concluded, and the body was
taken to the morgue.
There was found on the body and with
one 32-calibre center-fire Hopkins &
Allen double action revolver, box of car
tridges, $1.34 (in half dollar, two quar
, ters, nickels aud othei smaller change),
red pocketbook with Ave pockets, center
pocket closed with clasp, one vial of
cologne, brass watch chain with large and
small links alternating, tooth biush, key
ring witii two flat keys and patent needle
locket fastener, door key loose in pocket,
memorandum book—three leaves that had
contained writing torn out —pait of P. R.
R, schedule, lead pencil.

THE J CRT's VERDICT.
The jury after concluding the investi
gation rendered their verdict:
Wc tlie undersigned, Jurors find by the evi
dence In case of the deceased that he came to

REMAINS rNDIENTIFIKD.
Hundreds of people from Morrellville
and the lower wards of the city viewed the
remains, but no one was able to identify
tjt;m. Mr. Doyle, one of the jurors,

got somnthiDg to eat at hi 6 place some
days ago, but can't say just how long.
There were signs of decomposition, from
which it would appear that the body had
ain some time before being found. Those
who saw rite remains differ in their esti
mates of the time the man had been dead,
some being of the opinion that death had
taken place one day before the body was
found, while otbeis thought it might have
been several days.
A Novel C'tUM of a Bad Hoy's Death.
Freddie McQuadc is a twelve-year-old
school hoy of Lowell, Massacl usetts,
whose pernicious practice of indulging in
profane language s > tired the patience of
his teacher, Miss Georgia A. Herndon,
that she decided to discipline the lad, in a
way that was novel to say the least. She
called Freddie to her in the presence of
the older boys and girls, and scoured his
mouth with a cloth wet with soap. Ficd
dic scicamed and made all sorts of wry
faces, and through the soap suds in his
teeth there were emitted some swear
words even more profane than any in his
ordinary vocabulary.
That night be was taken sick. He
vomited continually and tossed on his
bed with a fever. Later the doctor found
he had diphtheria, from which he died
after a long illness. Now the boy's par
ents hive decided to enter suit against
Miss Herndon tor the loss of the child's
services. They claim that the implica
tion of soap was the original cause of
death.
Miss Herndon, for her part, says that
the parents of many of her scholars had
complained of the McQuade hoy's pro
fanity, and she rubbed his mouth with
soap, as it appeared to be the most effec
tive curative at hand, aud she noticed no
ill effects from its use. Her counsel ad
vises her not to pay damages without
contesting the suit.
THE SUMMER AT ATLANTIC CITY.
The i'cmiaylvßDla Kailrond's Great Facil
ities.
The prospects for a brilliant summer
season at Atlantic City were never so
bright as at the present time. The extra
ordinarily liberal patronage which it has
gained dnring the winter and spring sea
son, largely due to the magnificent trans
portation facilities maintained by the
Pennsylvania Railroad is still manifesting
itself in the well-filled hotels, which bid
fair to hold their visitors well 'lirough the
early summer season. The city by the
sea is in better condition to entertain and
amuse its frieuds than ever before. New
hotels have been built, and older oucs re
modeled and enlarged. The great ocean
boulevard has been completed, so that
Atlantic City now possesses the handsom
est and most attractive ocean front of
any seaside resort in America. All indi
cations point to the largest summer sea
son in the history of the place.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has kept well in line with the spirit of
improvement which has pervaded the
seashore. Its facilities for promptly aud
comfortably handling large numbei 8 of
people have been increased so a9 to sup.
ply any possible demand ; the roadbed of
its double flue has been improved great
ly, and the terminal facilities both at
Philadelphia and Atlantic City have been
enlurged and improved. The betterment
of the tracks will enable the management
to materially reduce the time between the
Delaware River and the sea, and the sum
mer schedule will present the quickest,best
equipped, safest and most satisfactory ser
vice of trains fr everybody ever enjoyed
by the hosts of Atlantic City's summer
patrons. The comprehensive system of
excursion t'ekets leading from all points
on the Pennsylvania System will be avail
able, as in the past years, at the excep
tional low rates that have heretofore pre
vailed. It would be well for our readers
to remember that a summer trip that does
not include Atlantic City lacks the spice
that would make it memorable.
lll'Fated Day Expreai.
For several dajs persons in the inter
est of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, aud Mr. Tarbeli, of Pittsburgh,
have been in East Couemaugh, sub
poenaing witnesses to give testimony in
the case of Tarbeli vs. the Railroad Com
pany, at Pittsburgh, before Judge Ewing
next Monday.
The wife and three children of the
plaintiff were passengers on the Day Ex
press lost at Coneraaugh in the great
flood, and the plaintiff claims that the
loss of their lives was due to gross
negligence of the company in allowing
the tiain to stand where they knew the
reservoir was in danger. The plaintiff
claims that, as tbey knew the track could
not be repaired for some time, they should
have run the train back to Pittsburgh.
The yardmastcr, telegraph operator and
other officials at Conemaugh have been
subpoened to testify.
The suit is for $5,000 damages and is
regarded as a test suit for others who lost
relatives on that train.
Bishop Hurst, of the Methodist Church,
intends making a trip to Europe, for the
purpose of visiting the principal universi
ties of Great Britain and the continent,
and the securing of plans and ideas for
the proposed Methodist University at
Washington.

ONE MOKE FLOOD VICTI >l.
The 150.1 v ol James M. Knsensteel Foun.l
Vestilrday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon about 8 o'clock a
man, who had gone to the lower end of
Lincoln street with a wheelbarrow for a
load of sand, uncovered the remains of
a human body uudcr about a foot of
sand. The body was not found in the
river but on the lower end of the street
in the deposit of sand left by the flood.
The body was taken to the morgue in a
wagon dispatched by Mr. Henderson
for the purpose. It was subsequently
ideutifled as the remains of James M.
Rosenstcel, a flood viet'tn.
The identification was made by means
of articles found in the pockets. A
bunch of keys with key ring were
found. On the ring was a bone plate hav
ing on it the name of James Koseusteel.
Other articles were also found that made
the identification unmistakably correct.
At the time the flood came, Mr. Rosen
steel,his wife and daughter and stepdaugh
ter wereatNo.26l Maple aveuue, Wood vale
Their house shared the common fate of
that part of the town and all the inmates
were lost. Mrs. Rosensteel and the step
daughter were found some time after the
flood and buried. Mertie, the daughter,
has not been found. William R., son of
Mr. Rosensteel by his first wife, was
absent and was the only member of the
family saved.
It is a strange coiucidenre that young
Mr. Rosensteel left the city yesterday to
be gone some time. Mr. Scott Dibert,
the young man's uncle, telegraphed to
him o' the finding of his father's re
mains. The remains will be buried in
Grand View this afternoon at 5 o'clock-
The Lesson or Memorial Dav
On this Memorial day, with happy
children bearing flowers for the dead
heroes, with the generation succeeding
the war already in active manhood and
womanhood, and the surviving veterans
already a small minority of the me i of the
country, we reopen the book of remem
brance, and before the eye of the aged
arises a field peopled with forms cf
wondrous interest. The men of 1801 !
Who and what were they ? It cannot be
too often repeated that they were men
who loved peace and long strove to secure
it, but did not weakly shrink from war
when it became a necessity to national
life and honor.
Aud this is the great lesson which
Memorial days must teach the young.
"Most fondly do we hope,most fervently do
we pray, "in the language of Lincoln, that
the scourge of war may never come to
this rising generati n; but, if it docs
come, let them think upon the firr-jiess
of their fathers and shrink not frc m the
trial. Let the young men of the new day
that is to try men's souls \cok upjn these
monuments and drink in anew the spirit
of patriotism, of firm resolve for the
right and unyielding devotion to duty.

nineteen years, is recovering his sight.
When only seven years of age Mr. List
lost the sight of both eyes by cataracts
that formed over them. About a month
ago he wert to Philadelphia to have his
eyes operated upon by specialists. After
the examination, to his astonishment, they
informed him there was no necessity for
tho operation, that ere long he would re
gain his lost sight.
The cataract on the left eye is fast dis
appearing, and he can now distinguish
the difference between tho heights of
persons seen walking on the street. All
those who have heard of it pronounce it a
remaikablc cose. Prof. List is a well
known musician of this place.

the sole me nber of the firm, signed the
note, which was dated May 23, 1890, and
made payable on demand.
No assignment was made by either the
firm or Daniel W. Custer individually,
but it is understood that the failure is
complete. Mr. Custer and the counsel
for the judgment creditors, ex-Secretary
of the Commonwealth Stenger, were botli
very reticent in the matter of th 1 assets and
liabilities, but it is estimated that it will
require $70,000 to make good the liabili

iu the Eight street store and its con

No cause for the failure is known be
yond the general depression in business
during the last year.

counsel, Bumberger & Levi, also began
an action in replevin agairst Daniel W.
Custer, trading as 1. 8. Custer's Son, ami

Surmounting this cap, is a beautiful cross
and the monogram of I. 11. S. gives evi
dence of being done by a master work
man. The work done by this firm is un"

that the stauding reward offered for equal

beautiful monuments and tombstones
in all tlie cemeteries in and about
this city. All their work is done in an ar
tistic manner and guaranteed to excel or
money cheerfully refunded, and parties in
need of a line monument or tombstone
should give Mr. Keim a call at his works
on Adam street, before purchasing else
where, as his work is best and prices

forenoon at 10:30. At this service he will
be assisted by several of the clergy, the
sermon being preached by Rev. H. L.
Yewens of Franklin Pa.
This service is of much interest to the
members of St. Mark's Church,on account
of the person to be ordained. Mr, Charles
E. Snavely was prepared for the Seminary
by the late rector of St. Mark's Church,
Rev. A. P. Diller. He ginduatcd tbis

though rector and church are gone, so
much of it will be cartied out in the tem
porary chapel.
Last year Ascension day came on Decor
ation day, and. the late rector hud ser
vice in the church ana celebrated the Holy
Communion. This wa9 the last service
he ever held, and just one half of |those
present at that service were taken in the
disaster of next day.
From the ruins in the Morrell yard were
taken the communion vesse and the
stole that Mr. Diller wore at t t service,
The vessels were repaired d will be
used at the communion to da Also the
stole, cleaned as well as it cau be, will be
put on Mr. Snavely at his ordination. We
understand Mr, S lavely is to take work
in Wyoming under Bishop Talbot.
This evening a memorial service will be
held in St. Mark's Church in commemo
ration of the members of the White Cross
Society who perished in the flood.
Last year forty-seven members marched

Mark's Church, where memorial services
will be held and a sermon preached by
the Rev. Father Fields, Rector of St.
Clemeuts Episcopal G'uureb, Philadel
