A MANS BODY FOUND IN CENTRAL PARK WITH
TWO BULLET HOLES IN THE HEAp-suPPosED
SUICIDE.
The dead body of man found in the Central
Park yesterday morning by of the Park attend
ants. Two pistol shot wounds in the left
breast but no weapon of any kind could be discov-
cred. This singular fact threw an air OF mystery
about the and left it an open question at
first whether the man had been murdered or had
committed suicide. The spot where the deed was
done is secluded rocky defle overlooking the pond
and adjacent to the bride road. serpentine path
winds around the bold bluff formed by granite
powders of gigantic proportions Towering over
the path these rocks rise in perpendicular wall to
the height of twelve feet, forming semi-circular
rock. wherein rustic bench affords cool and ro-
mantle retreat. This lovely spot was the scene OF
tragedy The deceased had evidently been seated
the bench when the fatal bullets deprived him OF
life. His hat was found on post which formed part OF
the seat He had fallen forward en- his face striking

Beatty notified the Coroners' office, ana Deputy
Coroner Miller viewed the remains and ordered their
removal to the MOrgue.
WHAT AN OFFICER SAW
Officer Foley OF the Park police. said that he saw
walking around the Arsenal. He stopped to look at
the giles and then moved away in the direction or
the iItn avenue entrance. Omcer folcy coUlu uot

to the man. as lie thought he recognized III h IN an
old friend. When the body discovered it was
still warm and Timber which showed that death had
taken place but short time previously The deceased
WAS about thirty years of age: he five eet nine
inches in height and built iii proportion; lie had
regular features. good teeth q heavy dark brown
mustache and gray eyes, He wore a blue flannel
sack coat, dark vest aud with light gray
stripes; black soft e!t hat and ord Tie shoes. In
his pockets tounu So SO. three Keys and u box
capable OF holding fifty ID calibre cartridges.
When the latter were counted but forty-.our re-
mained which fact would indicate that the revolver
was six shooter. That, however, was missing. and
the most strenuous search failed to discover now it
came to have been mysteriously spirited away,
Captain Beatty is of opinion that it carried off by
a colorcd woman who in the vicinity few

with logwood for This oity, asking that
they be permitted to discharge the cargo
On canal boats instead of lighters as
specified in the permit heretofore given
Captain West thought that In this
plan there would be danger to the fauna
lies living on the canal boats. Such boats
generally carried the wives and children
of their owners.
The agent of the Shasta said he would
engage that no families should be on the
boats, and Captain West said he was
satisfied With this.
On motion of Mr.. Gray the applica-
ton was granted, with a provision that
no families be allowed on the boats, and
thar the boats shall be subject to orders
of the Lazareito Physician, and shall
not leave the quarantine station without
his permission.
This undoubtedly means that the own
ers OF the Shasta intend to bring that
cargo to Chester Just as soon as they can
get il away from Quarantine, whether
frosi has come or no. 1t is hoped that
DR.. Robinson has some regard to our
citizens, no wever, and will keep her in

At the very time when steam naviga-
ton and the employment of iron in The
construction of ships received their g eat
est impetus the United States were
plunged into the throes of civil war.
English statesmen, as Earl Russell frank
ly confe ses iu his memoirs, were prompt
to take advantage of their greatest rivals
misfortune, and American commerce
was swept from the seas. During the
years from 1860 to 1878 Britain became,
even more than in the days of her G eat
est triumphs in naval warfare, the un-
disputed mistress OF the ocean. Every
other maritime nation OF Europe and
Asia patronizsd her dockyards for their
armaments, or chartered her vessels for
their commercial needs.
Within the past few years, however,
despite the criminal folly and favoritism
of Republican protective legislation, the
shipbuildlng industry in this country
has diaplayed evidence Of renewed vi
tality, which culminate in the tidlngs
we publish to-day, that Russian naval
contract amounting to $4,000, 900, has
been awarded to firms on this side of the
Atlant C. The dec.sion is in no wGy af-

latter Power has heretofore been good

The simple fact is that in the United

built on the Clyde or the Tyne, while
our models are preferable for spec d.
Had it not been for tue imbecile and
ruinous legislation of successive Repub-

the way of our shipbuilders was the con-

PUTTING In THE WHEAT CROP.

A singular discussion arose in the
papers lately as to whether there was
really any advantage in the drill over
broadcas sowing. 1t is strange to find
such subjects coming up. To- experienced
minds it is like arguing whether we had
not better abolish reaping machines and
return to the old cradle, if not to the
sickel at once. To us more reasonable
matter would be the width of the drills.
We do not know of any extended and
satisfactory experiments in the country,
50 as to test the matter beyond question.
At any rate, what foreigner would call
very close sowing is the rule here. In
England, however, where close calcula-
ton is much more the rule in farming
among the more intelligent than with us,
there is growing feeling in favor of
wide drills. Some set them as wide as
ten inches, and the reports, especially
this year, are generally in favor Of the
wide drills.
The great trouble with most of the
experiments of this kind is, when
made in experimental grounds, that they
extend but over single season, when 1t
is only after tri Il through a series OF
Years that a general rule can be formed.
il makes great difference, for ins ance,
whether the experiments are made
through dry season or moist one. In
a dry season, when there is deficiency
of moisture in the ground, a wide row
will have the advantage over the narrow,
as there would not be enough for all.
In other seasons when there is more
moisttffe, and enough for all, the result
might favor closer rows. So also the
nature of the soil might make much
difference. A soil which does not dry
out easily will permit of closer sowing
The one element Of moisture for the
growing crop alone makes a consider
able element to be considered. Still an
average ofyears would show what would
be best on the whole, and we should
like to see such figures.-Gernantopn
