4 MISSING SON FOUND DEAD.


a young man named Andrew Conner left his
home, on Tenth, near T. street southeast last Fri.
day morning to witness and follow the procession
that was celebrating st. Patrick'S day. He did
net return home in the evening, and the family
became greatly disturbed about him, the more
SO because he was not considered very bright and
Intelligent, and might easily get confused and
lost. He did not appear, however, and days passed
before any tidings were obtained Of his probable
wherea bouts, when the family were ast0unded
with the Information they did receive: Ii was
stated that the remains OF a young man had been
found last Saturday in a culvert, about one mile
this Side Of Beltsville, Md, and the afflicted father
went 10 that village and recognized the body as
that Of his missing son. Nothing is known posi-
lively to how he got in that locality, but 1t Is
supposed that after the procession broke ranks at
the City Hall he went ia the direction OF the de-
pot Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
Jumped on q train going to Baltimore. Some gen
tlemen walking near Beltsyflle on Saturday saw
his body lying in the water and, taking it up
carried # 10 the rearest house, and summoned
DR.. g. A. Fox, who made an examination. The
neck was found broken. and the head and body
much bruised. subsequently an inquest was held,
and verdict rendered that the boy came to his
death by accidentally falling into the culyert
Tho remains were placed in 4 vault temporarily.
The remains were brought to this city, and the
funeral took place from the family residence yes
