Captain Webb's Body Found.
QUEENSTOWN. Ont. July

QUEENSTOWN. Ont, July 30.
The body of Captain Webb was found
floating in The river a short distance below
Lewiston, N. Y, Saturday afternoon. At
the inquest held in the afternoon a verdict
Of found drowned was rendered. During
the examination of the body a ragged cut
was discovered on the top Of the
head about three inches in length,
opened sufficiently to expose the skull. 1t
had the appearance of being cut by a rock
OF other hard, rough substance, and is sup
posed to have been done at the entrance to
the whirlpool, where rocks in places pro-
ject above the surface of the water and
where the current is widest. This wound
was considered sufficient in itself to have
caused death, and it is thought he sank i'm
mediately after receiving it. The body was
cotfined II removed iii a hearse to Sus-
pension Bridge, New York, where it will be
prepared for shipment to Boston, where
Mrs. Webb is residing.
BUFFALO, N. Y, July 30.

caused great excitement at the Falls and the
surrounding country, and hundreds of
people f1ocked to the scene, among them
clerks OF the hotel where Webb stopped,
and several parties who had conversed with
him previous to his entering McCloy's boat.
When found, the body was lying in the
position assumed by Webb while swimming.
The remains were somewhat decomposed.
There was a cut extending about four inches
on the right side of the head, while
the left shoulder and both hips bore
evidence Of having com in con-
tact with rocks or some heavy in
%strWnent, as these portions Of the body
We're badly bruised and discolored. The
body had on when found the scarlet trunks
worn while in the water, which burst from
the body when lifted from the water. The
body was somewhat swollen and the face
bruised in places, but it retained a some
what placid expression.
