FOUND FLOATING IN THE RIVER.


The Body of Joseph Maiden. COlored,
Found Drowned In the BrAndywine this
Morning.
About 7.30 O'Clock this morning the body
of a colored man was discovered floating in
the Brandywine river opposite the works OF
seidell & Hastings, BY two colored men EN-
ployed about the works. A boat was imme-
diaLely procured and it was discovered that
the body was entangled in the hawser OF
boat lying at the wharf, where it had evil
IDENTITY become tasted while floating with the
tide. The body was towed 10 shore and
made fast and the Coroner notified, who had
it removed to the morgue.
The body was shortly after identified us
that OF Joseph Walden, aged about 30 years,
who, up to week ago, was employed by
the Edgemoor Iron Company.
Maiden came to this city last spring from
Virginia with number Of other colored
men, all of whom returned home this fall
with the exception of the deceased who had
decided to remain.
About a week ago ne was taken sick with
malarial fever, aud after staying at his
boarding house in Edge Moor a few days
came to this city, since which time nothing
was known of him by his friends at Edge
Moor until his body was found in the river
this morning.
On his person was found letter from hi
mother, dated Richmond, Va, Septembe
II, and few articles Of no value, and a
empty pocket hook.
The general supposition is, of those VIII
knew him, that his illness affected hi
brain and that in fit of insanity he eithe
fell overheard or deliberately committee
suicide, as he was a sober and industriou
man and apparently devoid Of all petit
vices Coroner Smith will hold an inQues
at the morgue at $50 this evening.

A CARELESS HABIT.
Turning the Water on without Notifying
the Residents Along the Street That such
Thing Has Been Done.

Turning the Water on without Notifying
the Residents Along the Street That such
Thing Has Been DOne.
A very dangerous practice of turning of
the water supply from houses, without
notifying the occupants, while unimportant
repairs are being made, is of frequent oc-
currence under the present workmen of
the Water Department This morning
about 10 o'clock the water from all the
houses on TAtnall street below Ninth, and
in all pr liability all the way down the
street was suddenly shut OFT while repairs
were being made to pipes in house on
Tatnall street below Ninth. The residents
were not notified, and as a consequence sew
eral boilers attached to ranges and stoves
began generating steam at such an alarm
ing rate that the fires had to be put out and
household duties suspended until near II
o'clock before the water was turned into the
pipes again. One of these days this
will be done and a serious accident
will be the result from the bursting
OF boiler. 1t would be just as easy and
very much more safe for the woIkmen Il
notify the residents along street that tn,
water would be turned off at such time
they could then regulate their fires accord
ingly, and not run the risk of losing life ant
limb by having had fire under boiler abou
half full of water. The workmen are Away
instructed to this effect by the dedartmen
officials and and they should be particular

Execution Of Edward HOvey,t I'm New York,
for the Murder Of uia sistsr-in-Law.


Execution Of Edward HOvey in New York,
for the Murder Of uia slstsr-in-Law.
tUnitad Press Dispatch TO the Gazette
NEW YoRK. Oct. 19.-Edward Hoyey, the
SLAYER OF bis sIster.In-law, Mrs. Fannie Yer
miiyea, was duly hanged this morning in
the Tombe prisonyard. The murderer's last
night on earth was spent very restlessly. He
moved around on bis cot frequently during
the night and seemed entirely unable 70
compose himself for sleep. He arose
this morning early and was
visited by his spiritual adviser and
lawyer, the latter TO wish him good bye.
H0yey, IN the language Of one Of the deputy
sherifls, looked "mOrc dead than alive"
when he arose to dress himself Everything
possible was done to cheer him up, but the
efforts in this direction had but little Inn
precision on him. When his breakfast, con
slsting Of rolls. coffee aud eggs, was
brought to him, Ilovey dragged his
chair In q perfunctory way to the
little table upon which the meal was
placed, and seated himself with q deep
drawn sigh. He quietly surveyed the food
for moment, then drawing back from the
table said he could eat nothing. Father
DuranQuet, the Rev. Mr.. Gilbert and Deputy
Warden Finley prevailed upon Hovey 10
at least attempt to eat They succeeded In
inducing him to zip the coffee, but they
could not get him to do any more. Soon
after arising he had been given q dose Of
choral and be now wanted whiskey. In
view Of his condition 1t was agreed that he
should have some stimulant before beng led
to the gallows.
At Z O'Clock the Sherif's deputies had ar
rived, headed by Sher II Davidson aud under
Sheriff Stevens. These formed q square
around the scaffold- The Sheriff i'm
mediately entered the prison and
proceeding - the condemned mans
cell read the death warrant to him. At the
conclusion Of the reading the executioner
and his assistant Jinioned the murdercr's
arms, and the procession TO the scafiold was
then formed. 1t was headed by Sheriff
Davidson aud his under. sheriff. Hovey was
grasped on either side by deputy sherihs
aud more or less supported along the route.
The murderer was dressed In black kuit,
but wore no collar The hangman lost nc
time 10 completing his work. The moment
Hovey was placed under the scafIold he tied
his legs and then, after q few parting words
between the unfortunate man and his spirit
ual advisers, drew the black cap over his
face, adjusted the moose, and quicker than
1t takes to tell It cut the rope, and Hovey
was launched into eternity, at exactly
T.5d o, IN. As the body rebounded
from the cross-pleco the hands aDt
legs became rigid with muscular contrac
ton. The hands turre1 blue. In few
minutes the last outward sign of life was
manifested IN the struggling body. At S.lt
| he was pronounced dead, and shortly ate
the body was lowered into the coffin ant
turned over to his friends.
