very hot day. Several rail gunners on the

But the most remarkable case of heat
prostration that we heard of, happened to
to an Elkton candidate who rode out of
town a mile or two, in an open buggy, to

alighted from the wagon he staggered like
tipsy man beneath the PIERCING rays of

WASHINGTON, Sept. sth, 1878.
DEATH OF "BEAU HICKMAN

NASI1NGTON, sept. Stn, 1873.
DEATH OF "BEAU HICKMAN"
The noted Beau HICKMAN, whose name
has probably been echoed in all the cities
and towns in the Union, on Sunday, 31st
ultimo, to use his own words, passed in
his checks" Beau was acknowledged to
be the most successful "dead beat" ever
known in America. lie always said that
his price to be introduced to Member of
Congress was five dollars; but to the "les-
ser lights" he always made reduction,
and they had to pay his price to get away
from him. His ancestors were aristecratic
Eirgnians, and it is said that he came to
Washington in good circumstances; but
being "sport," in the fullest sense of the
word, and failing to always "bet on the
winning horse" soon lost all his means.
1t is stated that he was at ono time the
leader Of fashion here, and that tailors
gave him all his clothing, merely to adver-
tise their stores. / am credtably inform
ed that he acquired the prefix of I" Beau :"
to his name, by being a general beau to all
the young ladies of Washington when 4
young man; yet he married none of thea,
but lived the life that only dog or a dead
beat could live, lounging about hotels and
restaurants, without home and without
friends, and extracting from ten cents to
five dollars from the pocket of every man
with whom he came in contact. He never
drank Intoxicating liquors, and when ask
ed to "smile," always took I" ten cents"
He was stricken with paralysis on the 2Sth
ultimo, and was taken to the hospital in
:'just what he wore," and no kind friend
came thereafter to better his condition, and
the following Sunday he shuf1led off the
coil which held him to mortality only in
the presence of the unpaid sisters in charge
there. Though he had no friends, he left
no enemies.
Notorious in life, and leaving in death a
name that will live for years to come in
many circles, the additional fact of the
rifling of his grave in Potters field and
horrible mutilation of his poor old body,
will be heralded throughout the country,
"To paint a moral or adorn tale" of
mans inhumanity at the earthly resting
place of his fellow-man. But few would
have supposed, in looking at his attenuated
form, mummy-like expression, and sham
bling gait few weeks before the settling
up of his worldly accounts, that part of the
remains of Beau after death would be
spread upon the diasecting table, his era
NAL development commented upon, and
his body jested over, the interests of
demonstrative anatomy" to subserve.-
Yet such is the fact, for few days after
interment the body was exhumed and ter
ribly mangled at the grave. Forbearance
has almost ceased to be virtue in this
city regarding the manner in which the
ghouls of the graveyard ply their voca-
ton in the "interests OF science,' and the
newspapers are frequently called upon to
chronicle horrible items, such as the find
ing of portions of human bodies in our
thoroughfares, rifling of graves, &c. 1t is
disgrace to the medical fraternity and the
District. The colored people of the city
are orfully" afraid of the "night doc

Petty Thefts.-On Wednesday night last
some petty thieves visited the premises of
DR.. Tull and appropriated lot of butter.
They called at Mr.. E. Browns and finding
"a can of frozen custard on the back porch,
drew up chairs and proceeded to discuss
tho delicious confect. After eating what
they wanted, they deliberately turned the
can over and wasted the balance. Leaving
Mr.. Tull's butter plate in Mr.. Browns
yard, they proceeded to the residence of
Mr.. F. A. Ellis and efecting an entrance
into the cellar, carried away quantity of
jam. This house received similar visit
about four weeks ago. From Mr.. Ellis
they went to Mr.. G. F. Harlan's, and there
found a shirt about the yard which was
appropriated, and breaking into the cellar,
took quantity of meat. They extended
their visit to Mr.. Henry Vinsinger's and
carried away all the canned fruit the good
wife had prepared for Winter. Mr.. NcKin-
sey's refrigerator was also entered and the
entire contents appropriated. A can of
ice cream on Mr.. E. Browns porch was
carried of, cream can, tub and all.
