over his loft leg below tho knee, while
the back oi his head was crushed in,

Willing hands gathered up the

Found on the River Bank by two Men
Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesstcnhy afternoon at 2 o'clock tho
Krwlv nf I?w?Inird Iwniohf f.hrf. "fllrtwlfln'rf
commercial traveler who fell through
the bridge at .the Baltimore & Ohio
depot on the qight before New Year's,
wis found. Joseph Driller and Joe
Lmvrv, two employes of the Belmont
mill, "wcro about to go fishing, and in
searching the river bank at the foot of
Twenty-ninth street, stumbled across
the body. The first seen of it was a
hud protruding from tho sand, and
after digging a little tho body of a man
was discovered, ft was in a state of advanced
decomposition, the skini and
tlesli peeling off the hands when the
body vns drawn out.
^Coroner Phillips was immediately
summoned, and the clothes of tho corpso
uere searched. Some money, n memorandum
book anil a quantity of papers
*ere found, proving tno body to be that
of Kicliard knight.
At the time of hie death Mr. Knight
carried a watch and chain and woro a
diamond pin. Part of a broken watch
chain and a gold pin, without a-set,were
found on the body, the watoh having
probably been lost "by the chaiu catchup
on soing obstruction in the river.
The face was perfectly black and entirely
unreeogmmble, the body being
identified cbielly by tho clothing ana
papers.
Undertaker Blatchley took charge of
the body. A large box was made, the
remains were wrapped in a sheet and
deposited in tho box. The regulations
of the railroad company require that a
putrefied body be placed in certain
chemicals, and ns it was impossible to
remove the clothing from tho corpso it
cannot be shipped to Cloveland. Mrs.
knight, the widow, was communicated
mu oy telegraph, and, in deference to
tar wishes, Coronet Phillips prepared a
drath certificate, tlie body to be buried

Talk About the Garrison Cose.
There was a good deal of speculation
among people generally yesterday as to
the probability of Dr. Garrison's being
allowed a new trial. Just what thie'SP?
tornsys propose to prove has not befttt
made known, but itVthattbe'jury was
not composed entirely cf competent
men, and that there has some important
evidence come to their knowledge since
the trial wu finished. It does not take
a'great deal of evidence to. provft.the in
competency of o
discovered evidence it' & diffcwbt/1
After-discovered evidence mustbeshown
to havo a direct bearing upon the ewe,
and must bo such us wu unknown to
tho defense at the time of the trial and
could not have been known hod reasonable
dilligencc been displayed. There
was a gonoral feeling that a new trial
would bo granted, though it was very
much like tno belief that the jury would
hang before it warf sent out. Thoro was
no grounds for that belief, and there in
no grounda apparent to the .public for
the opinion that a new triiu Mil be'
granted.
Tho affidavits upon which the defense
will ask for a new trial had not beon
submitted to tho prosecuting attorney
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

DURST AT WASHINGTON.
The Popular Caterer Servos a Banquet at
Trinity Hall and Another at Washlngton?JeflTor?on?'To
M<<i gnntown Next "Week.
, v - - I !,?
mere is nu uutier iwnuuigi-i m ?..w
commencement season than the committees
of young men and womon who
are scon at Dunn's every few days about
(i}Is time of year. A college commenceiinbht
is not complete without a baccalaureate
sermon, neither is it complete
without a banquet. For several
weoks these committees of young people
have been seen about Durst'i almost
everyday. They are from the colleges,
nd come to arrange the details of the
bkhquete at the different colleges In this
SMto and contiguous States, hereabouts.
They know a good thipg when they see
it, and they nave seen Durst before.
They have all either eaten of his banquets
or have heard their older brothers
and sisters tell of the good things he
served them in years gone by.
Last week this popular caterer furnishod
a big banquet lor the pupils of
Trinity Hall College at Washington, Pa.,
and day before yoeterdav ho served the
senior class banquet at the WashingtonJefferson
Collego at the same place. He
has been furnishing the ediblos at this
institution lor several years, and they
always come back to him. Ho has a
well-earned reputation ka the best
caterer in this part of the country, and
he gets nearly all the work of that kind
that is going. At the Washington-Jefterson
banquet there were over 300
and every one of them was
sorrbd without any waiting or dolay.
Luxuries and confections, all mado by
Durst himself, wore served exclusively.
Next week Mr. Durst will go to Mo'rgantown
to servo a banquet ,for the
State University. This will be one of
the biggest that has taken place this
year, and will take a big lot of edibles,
'rfchpla who want Buoh service will do
/Well to consult George L. Durst before
making other arrangements.
DKHKCRATINO THE DAY.
An Old Soldier Objects to Flippant Sport*
on Memorial Day.
,1\> thi Editor of the IiUdhgenccr.
iniSmtr-I wish through your columns
to enter a feeble protest against a custom
that is becoming very prevalent,
notably so in tho vicinity of Wheeling,
that is, the desecration of Manorial
Pay. Instead of its being observed na
was originally intended by those who
instituted the custom, as "it day set
apart .by a beautiful National custom
for our millions of people to desist from
their usual vocations and unite in paying
this trlbuto and loving honor to
those who loved tli$ir country better
than ease or gain or worldly promotion,
or,oven life itself, and died to purchase
for us the countless blessings we now
enjoy?a sweet, sacred Sabbatu of American
patriotism," it is being turned into
a day of picnics, parties, baso hall
games and their attendant rowdyism,
and even advertised as "Decoration Day
picnics-" Have we so soon forgotten
why* these men, whom the day is intended
to honor, died?
I hope no man who was a soldier or
no soldier's son or daughter will in
itnv mnnnnr irivfi aid or ennouraffemftnt
to any of these affairs.
