A Strange Story.

~ Here is q true story from Philadel-
.phia with all the elements of mystery
and dramatic horror for which our
modern nOvelists and playwrights
strive In vain. Two or three months
after the Exposition closed the dead
body of man was found in q lonely
gorge, six miles from the city, too
much decomposed for recognition, and
without the slightest clew In his cloth
Ing by which to identity him. It was
supposed he had been q guest at the
Changers Hotel, which was an enor-
NOUS temporary barracks to which
thousands of transient dodgers came
daily. g No register was kept, nor
could any account be taken Of them
after they paid for their room in ad-
vance. What could be more unlikely
than that this unrecognizable body
could be identified as one of the name
less millions who came and went
through Philadelphia last year, or
that his murderer should be found?@
Yet, by q chance letter 10 promi-
nent newspaper publisher from Ger
many, the whole strange story Is laid
bare. The murdered man proves to be
q young German of q wealthy family
who came to Philadelphia last sum-
mer. At this Granger's Hotel he fell
in with another German and formed
close companionship with him. The
stranger learned all his secrets, the
particulars Of his business and family
life, obtained letters from him, from
which he studied his handwriting,
peculiarities of fexpression, etc. When
his plans were ripe he enticed the
young fellow out to this lonely gorge,
killed him, took possession OF his
trunk and other property, and opened
a correspondence with his family In
Germany. Since last October this
has been carried on,
the murderer. personating his victim
and obtaining by pleas Of illness,
losses, ETC., large sums Of money.
BY this time his arrest will I'm all
probability be made. There Is an in
exorable Justice which dogs the steps
OF q guilty man. j, But we never re-
member to have seen stronger proof
of it than this, unless It was the death
Of Lee at Mountain Meadows. In old
times the avenger Of blood held It as o
sacred duty to pursue the murderer,
and the Erinnyes helped him with
keen eyes whose sight reached around
the world. f-
