mi VOL. XXV. WASHINGTON.SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1S90. 12 PAGES. NO. 25 V 1,SUC.. SOLVING A MYSTERY. A lilTTLE LIGHT ON THE DEATH OF HIK. ANDREWS. Ho Was Scon at An Up-Itlvor Gambling J)lvo About tho Tlmo of His Dlsappear anco, ami Somo Hard Characters Dis appeared Jnst Afterward. Gradually a littlo ligbt is being let in on tho deep mystery which has heretofore enveloped the strange dtsappcarauco and death of Mr. C. C. Androws. The facts so far learned do not make clear the exact circumstances under which ho mot his untimely fate. But there no longer remains any doubt that he was foully murdered and his linked body thrown into the river by the assassins. Whatever facts have been learned as to the crimo were not brought out through the efforts of the police, whoso at tempts at unraveling the ghastly mystery have not been attended with any brilliant success. The intimation in an afternoon paper of yes terday that Mr. Andrews met his death In the city south of the Avenue, and that the body was taken above the Aqueduct Bridge and dumped into the Potomac is wide of all probability. It is true, as brought out by the detectives em ployed on the case by the companies in which Mr. Andrews's life was Insured, that ono of the last places whore he was seen In the city was at a well-known house on D street. He left this house at 3 o'clock on the morning of Saturday, July 21. He had evidently been on a spree, for he had been at tho houso in question since noon of tho previous day carousing with tho inmates. The womau who keeps the house mado no attempt to conceal the fact that Andrews had been there, and no suspicion whatever rests on her as having any connection with Androws's disappearance and death. She says that tho unfortunate mau dis played a considerable amount of money, and that ho wore a gold watch and chain. After ho left this house no traces of his movements in the city have been ascertained. Here both the po lice and the detectives employed by the Insur ance companies lost all trace of him. Last night, however, a Sunday Herald re porter learned the most important fact that has so far been elicited in connection with tho iurther movements of the dead man. A gen tleman was found who furnished a clew prov ing almost conclusively tho truth of the theory which lias been advanced that Mr. Andrews met his death in tbo neighborhood of tho gambling resorts on the Virginia side of tho upper Potomac near where his body was found. This gentleman said: "A week ago last Sunday, while at the river, we stopped, more out of curiosity than any 'thinc else, at the resort kept by a man name"d Heath above the AqueductBriilge. While there we became engaged In conversation with one of the hangers-on about the place. The subject of Andrews's disappearance came up, and the man remarked that ho had seen Andrews there about the time he was said to have disappeared. He said that Andrews had evidently been drinking, and that in gambling and paying for drinks he displayed large rolls of bills. He also hud a gold watch and chain, and was very well dressed. I at onco became very much interested," the Herald's Informant continued, "as I had not seen it stated in tho papers pre viously that Andrews had been at Heath's place. I Immediately began to make closer In quiries of the man who had volunteered tho information, but as soon as I did this ho became guarded in his replies, and I could, get littlo more out of him. He told me, however, another very significant circumstance, which, if true, would seem to indicate just how Andrews met his death. Ho said that up to about the tlmo of Androws's disappearance there had been two or three petty gamblers about tho place who made their living through running (sweat-boards and other similar devices. They hung about the pathways along the shore and roped into their games any one whom thoy might waylay. These follows, the man said, ibad suddenly been missed about the time An drews disappeared and nothing more had been hoard of them." Tho gentleman who gave this Important cluo to The Herald reporter had no doubt of tho truth of what tho hanger-on about Heath's place had told him, and in all probability it offers tho most reliable suggestion yet made as to how Andrews was done away with. Any ono who has ever visited the region In question, on tho Upper Potomac, knows tho opportunities there offered for tho commission of crimo without much danger of detection, and there is little doubt that many of tho desperato characters who haunt the region are fully capa ble of embracing tho opportunities for crime, If by so doing they could secure a few hundred dollars. Tho theory is that Androws was decoyed into tho woods by somo of these desperato char acters who saw tho roll of hills which he dis played at Heath's place. When they got him to some lonely spot It was easy cuouirk for them, In Andrews's befuddled condition, to mako way with him by ono meaus or auother. Tho fact that Androws's body was entirely naked when found in tho river has puzzled tho police a good deal, but seems susceptible to eay explanation. Tho murderers knew that Identification would bo much more easy if tho clothing were Jeft on tho body. So they stripped It, and probably tied heavy stones to tho garments, and then sunk them in tho river, Or.posslbly they may have thought tho clothing too valuablo to throw away, and kept it as part of tho spoils of their crime. They then threw the body into tho river, aud the extreme bad weather at tho time readily accouuts for tho advanced 6tate of decomposition which It had reached when found a couple of days later. Tho theory advanced that Andrews was killed in the DIvlslou aud hl6 body then takeu and thrown Into tho river above the Aqueduct Bridge Is ridiculed by tho police. The criminals would have had nothing whatever to gain and .much to lose by this course. If Audrew6 had been killed in the Division, tho simplest and safest couiso for tbo criminals would have been to have takeu tho body to the river at the lonely retrlon about the Monument grounds and there Hung It in. It would then probably have been carried by the current dowu tho river beyond the city, and might never have been heard of again. On the other hand, by taklug It far up tho river thero would have been much greater risk of detcctlou, because tho body as It floated down would havo been almost certalu to have been seen by persous from tho shore or on board tho numerous small ciaft that are ou the water at all hours of tho day. Tho renewed attempts to solve the mystery of tho death of Mr, Androws aro due to tho com panies In which his life was Insured. Ho was insured for $8,000 in tho Royal Arcauum iu Bal timore, and for $1,000 in tho Washington Bene ficial Association, of which Mr, Lawrtuco Gard ner is secretary. Theso policies could not bo paid until tho insurance companies wcro satisfied that tho body found up tho river was that of Mr. Androws. It was at their Instance that tho Identification was finally completed by Dr. Coylo, Mr. Andrews's Baltimore dentist, who found that tho filling in tho teeth of tho dead man corresponded exactly with tho memoranda which ho had made when Mr. Androws first camo to him and had his teeth filled. Tho head of tho dead man, it will bo remembered, was taken from tho Potter's Field in this city, where tho remains had been Interred, and sont to Balti more to Dr. Coylo to aid in tho Indentlflcatlon. Mr. Lawrenco Gardner wont from this city to bo present at tho examination, and while thero ho learned somo facts which caused him to feel that It was Incumbent on tho Washington po llco to mako further efforts to solve tho mys tery surrounding tho caso and bring tho murderers to justice If possible. On returning to tho city Mr. Gardner at onco reported tho facts to Maj. Moore, aud that official on Friday detailed Detectives Holier and Mabon to make further efforts to unravel tho mystery. The dotectlves are now at work on tho case, and It Is to bo hoped they will succeed in bringing to justice tho perpetrators of this most foul murder. SPEAKER REED ON THE STUMP. Two Speeches Yesterday Ho Predicts Hid Ite-Eloetlon by 1,000 Majority. Sehaoo Lakh,Me., Sept.G. Speaker Reod ar rived hero with Congressmen McKInley and Lodge at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mr.Beed spoke twenty minutes to a crowd on the fair grounds of tho history of tho Republican party. The Democrats, ho said, had opposed ovcry Repub lican benefit when introduced, and now claimed that as their own. The same would be true in llvo years of tho system of counting non-vot-Ine Congressmen present. Portland, Me., Sept. C Tho campaign in Speaker Reed's district closed this evening, when more than 3,000 attended a mass meeting in City Hall under the auspices of tho Young Men's Republican Club, whoso banner hung above tho platform, where sat seventy-five members. President Walter C. Emerson, editor of tho Advertiser, had cbarce, and Chandler's Band furnished music. Mr. Reed's entrance with Maj. McKinley was greeted with long applause and cheers by tho audience, which was larger and much more en thusiastic than any other during the campaign. He was introduced by Mr. Emerson and spoke about ton minutes. He referred to the influence of tho McKInley bill on business; also to tho Silver bill, saying the United States circulating me dium was tho best iu the world, and he called on Major McKInley to deliver tho speech of the evening. This was the latter's ilrst Portland speech, and was the most eloquent one of tho campaign, being" devoted to the tariff as affect ing business prosperity. Speaker Reed state'd to-day that he antici pated a majority of 1,000 In his district, although his friends feel confident that it will reach 1,500. SAID HE WAS A CONGRESSMAN. A DignIflcd-X.oo:lng Ulan Angaulted on the Avenue While Walking "With a Lady. About 11 o'clock last'night a dlenlfled-look-ing man walked down Pennsylvania avenue with a stylishly- arrayed young ladv on his arm. They seemed very much interested in each other, and conversed in confidential tones. Tho Avcnuo was crowdnd,as the theatres had closed and tho audiences were scattering homeward. As tho couple reached tho corner of Eleventh street, just In front of Brcntano's, a carriage drove rapidly up to the curb and a man jumped out. Rushing up to tho couple, he began to rain blows on the face of the lady's escort, crying at the same time, "I'll let you see what I do to such scoundrels 1" The assailed man endeavored to defend him self and Special Officer Tom Youne, seeing tho affray, rushed up and separated the com batants and ended what promised to bo a lively scrimmage. Tho man and woman sough't refugo in Sickle's cigar store, while the as sailant hurried back to his carriago and was driven away. Officer Sutton camo up and going into Sickle's store saw tho assaulted parly, who said ho was a Congressman and did not deslro any publicity given tho affair. He would be down in tho morning to see the lieutenant and mako it all right. In tho mean time tho woman kept re marking, "Don't give your name, Governor; don't give your name." Tho lady was ovidently some one else than his wife or daughter, and she acted like a woman of ready wit. No ono In the crowd recognized tho parties, but if tho injured man is a Congressman, as he said he was, ho will probably bo missing from his seat for some days, until tho cuts on his face have disap peared. Baby Rolled Oft" a Five-Story House. New York, Sept. 0 A baby carriago which was being rolled by two boys on tho roof of No 203 South Fifth avenue broke away and with its two-year-old occupant fell five stories this afternoon.

WISHES HE HAD "A TONGUE OP FIiAMK." That Ho Might Impress Our I'ooplc "With tho Enormous Importance of tho Sher man Amendment Relative to Reciproc ity With Canada. New Havkn,Conn., Sept. C Erastus Wlman having recently been Invited by tho Chamber of Commerce of this city to address that body In relation to tho Canadian question, has written to tho president, J. D. Dewell, a letter from which tho following is an extract: "I wish I had a toncuo of flame that I might Impress tho peoplo of tho United States with the enormous consequences that may flow from Senator Sherman's amendment regarding Can ada and the Immense Importance of passing It during this Congress. No greater move of statesmanship was ever mado than that which would on tho continent of North America doublo the area of trado of such a country as the United States and that, too, without tho drawing of a sword, the shedding of a drop of blood, or tho expenditure of a single dollar. In all tho history of the world no single act of legislation equals tho proposal of the Ohio Senator In its immediate promise of enlarged opportunity for so great a number of people, or that may have consequences so beneficial to mankind at laree. Tho results to be achieved by the operation of this resolution, so far as trade and commerce are concerned, will equal those accomplished by the Declaration of Independence aud tho War of tho Revolution, for now that the people of tho United States are so thoroughly equipped for conquering new territory by commercial supremacy, It is only necessary to permit them full and free access to tbo remaining half of the continent, that by development of its enormous natural resources thev may employ their energies, quadruple their wealth, and thus enrich the world. Certainly the potato patches of Maine and Vermont, the meacre profits of a few fishing smacks, and the coal interests of a score of mine owners should not stand in the way of a movement so vast in its results as will bring within the control of this country the product of regions of arable soil far exceeding thoso of the United States, coal territories 97,000 square miles iu extent, a coast line of fisheries 5,000 miles long, mineral wealth, even In Nova Scotia and New Bruns wick, within sight of New England, testified by Governor Andrew to bo greater thau that of New York and Pennsylvania combined. Trade knows no political boundaries, and Senator Sherman simply proposes, on a scale of continental dimensions between two great nations, to have the same measure of freedom which has hitherto prevailed between the States of tho Union to their enormous ad vantage. If this proposal Is acted upon at this session and reciprocity offered simultaneously with tBoTuforcement of tho McKInley bill, tbo issue will bo a square ono at the impending general election in tho Dominion of Canada, which will be tho only constitutional means offered for many years by which It can be either accepted or rejected. Hence the vast Impor tance, not only of the proposal itself, but of its immediate passage by Congress." THE WORLD'S FAIR SITE. Tho I.aUo Front to Uo Used An Agree ment Reached. Ciiicago, Sept. 0. An evening paper says: "It now looks as tboueh the major part of tho World's Fair may bo held ou the lake front af ter all. The Illinois Central agrees practically to all the conditions laid down at the outset by tbo committee on grounds and buildings. The company consents to tho use of tho lake front east of tho tracks for World's Fair purposes, agrees to tho piling and filling iu of tho lake, and to a satisfactory arrangement of its tracks during tho exposition. It Is further stipulated that should tho Supremo Court decide the suit now before it regarding tho lake front and ri parian rights iu favor of tho company, tho lat ter will reimburse the exposition company for the cost of tho work. In such an event also the road agrees to give tho exposition corpora tion tho uso of tho ground rent free and to al low one year's tlmo after tho close of tho expo sition for the removal of tho buildings." Baltimore's Ex-Mayor Dead. Baltimore, Sept. 0. Mr. George W. Brown died to-day at Lake Mohuuk,N. Y aged seventy five years. Mr. Brown was mayor of Baltimore ao the beginning of tho lato Civil War and dur ing the riots that grew out of tho excitement consequent on tho attack upon tho Sixth Massa chusetts Regiment ho placed himself at tho head of tho pollco force.

Contest Between Great Southern Rivals for Supremacy. CnicAGO, Sept. 0. Tho Evening Journal Bays: "Tho Central Georgia and EastTennesseo have, It is reported, purchased tho Louisville, New Albany and Chicago road, tho Monon route, and made it a part of their great Southeastern system. This elves tho Terminal a lino into Louisville over a popular road, and thus enables it to fight its strong est rival, the Louisville and Nashville, also a line into Chicago, making a powerful trlaugular system from such Southern points as Richmond, Savannah, Brunswick, Augusta, Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Knoxvlllo to Chi cago. The Monon route, it will be remem bered, was bought by the Pennsylvania Road aud tho Louisville and Nashville. A few days ago tho East Tennessee made an offer for it and secured it. Its position makes tho West Point Terminal a powerful competitor In Chicago with tho several big systems that now control Southern freights " to and from, the Northwest. In the mean time it is rumored that tho Louisville and Nashville will secure the Marietta and North Georgia." CASTIGATED THE BRETHREN. Bro'r Mitchell "Just Hai to Hii9tlo" in Order to Iilvo. Chicago, Sept. 0. In the Kentucky annual conference of the African Methodist Church, to day, Rev. Bureel Mitchell, of Owensburg, Ky., reported no geueral fund and that his salary was only $54. "How do you live?" asked the Bishop. "I just have to hustle," replied Mitchell. Bishop Do you havo any entertainments, or run excursions? Mitchell Oh, yes, beloved Bishop. "Then you should have brought up a general fund and divided tho spoils," replied tho Bishop. In answer to the conference steward's ques tion, it was learned that a rival church had taken all of Brother Mitchell's members, and that tho church had grown poorer and poorer. Bishop Lomax. then proceeded to castigate the brethren as follows: "Thero aro. too many of you coming up here without any general fund; thero aro somo 1 am going to put out. Cries of "Amen." Rather than come hero with ex cuses you should not como at all. About the best thing I can do, in order to save you all from public exposure, is to pass all characters, turn you all loose, and adjust tho matter in tho appointments. The law says no minister shall have an appointment who does not comply with tho law, and you have not done so. Cries of "Mercy," "near that now." If you aro going to bo ministers "That's so"1 there seems to be something rotten in Denmark." "Hear, hear." Rev. Mr. Mitchell's character was passed, and tho conference took a recess. ROOHEFORT-THIEBAUD DUEL. Furious Fighting Thlehaud Three Times Wounded. Paris, Sept. 0.

Chicago, Sept, 0, The Kentucky annual couferenco of tho African Methodist Church convened this morning. The Star ofZion is not recognized by tho conference as its orgau, bo cause it refused to print articles forwarded from the various churches, failed to mail tho paper regularly to subscribers, and it editorially de nounced tho conference. Rev. W. II. Smith said he had sent ai tides to the paper which ho presumed had been thrown into tho waste-basket. "I sent money to pay for their publica tion," said tho speauer, "aud tho money was not returned when the articles wero rejected, I admit that I wrote on both sides of tho 6heet, but that did not prevent Editor Dorsay from returning tho mouoy."

She was taken to Stalexis hospital and died in half an hour. Her sister Louisa was badly hurt about the head and arms, the muscles of the right forearm being torn away from tho bone. She will probably recover. Tho wrecked cars were bespattered with blood, and the hands, faces, and clothing of the rescuers were covered with tho crimson fluid. $0,000,000 For Stock-Yards.
