and unable to speak. On close ex-
animation it became apparent from the
wounds about his head and face,
which almost rendered the features in
distihgaishable, that he had been bea-
ten SO nearly dead that whatever was
to- be done for his relief should be done
quickly. He Immediately repaired to
the Central guard-house, where he
informed the keeper IF the facts, who
directed him to call on the first police
officer he met. This was at quarter

where the man was lying. Chief De
tective Clarvoe has kilograms from
Baltimore saying that, Haun left Bal
timore last hight for Washington. He
bought ticket Here, for Alexandria,
intending to leave on the midnight
train, and was probably on his way, to
get on the train when he was murder

mystery, but the detectives are active,
and will work Increasingly to ferret
