THE HAvILAND MYSTERY.
A Proposition Made to Search Grave
Yards-Other Mysterious Disappear
8nceS.

Nothing in connection with the mysterious
disappearance of the Montgomery county mil
Ter, Haviland, has been heard of at police head
quarters to-day. Some gentlemen from that
county in the city to-day state that there is
some talk out on the 7th street road about
searching some graves where recent inter-
ments have been made tor the body of the
missing man. There are no less than four
burial grounds in the immediate neigh
borhOOd of the place where the assault
is supposed to have occurred. 1t is
thought body might have been buried
in one of them. Nothing further has been
heard by the police authorities of the box
landed at Germantown, Md, some days ago.
superintendent Dye states that the case of
Hav1land is not more strange than some that
have happened in this city AS an instance he
cited the case of young Altman, which occurred
about two years ago. AltInan's father, a
draughtsman in the War department., died
suddenly and at his own request, made before
death, the remains were taken to Chambers
burg by his son and there cremated and his
ashes returned to this city. Very soon after
wards the son disappeared and has not yet been
of similar mysterious disappearance. No one
knows positively that Mr. Haviland is dead.
He may have become suddenly affected with
unsOund mind and wandered of. Such in
stances have been known.
THE GERMANTOWN TRUNK.
The B. and o. express authorities have ascer
tanned that the mysterious trunk at German
town, Nd, was sent there by mistake, and that
it contains clothing of lady, well packed in
canphOr, sent from a lady in this city to q
friend.

A Novel suicide.
BLOWING HIS HEAD OFF WITH GUN LoADE

BLOWING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A GUN LOADED
WITH POWDER AND WATER.
Valentine Dreisher, forty-seven years of age,
living at 597 CORTLAND avenue. New York
city, blew out his brains In his bedroom Mon
day afternoon. Officer Madigan, of the thirty
third precinct, heard the shot, and going to his
room found Dreisher across the bed with his
head blown completely off, The trunk pre-
scented the appearance of victim OF the guillo-
tine. The suicide had worked in Jordan l..
Motifs foundry for seven years Last July he
was sunstruck and did not fully recover from
the effect of ii. At the time he fell on his iron
wheelbarrow and fractured his shoulder blade
For six months he has been doing odd jobs, but
never appeared rightin his mind. Every possi-
BILE effort on the part Of the police to discover
the whereabouts OF the bullet failed until one
of them found one OF the dead mans friends in
q saloon near by who said that Dreisher had
often told him that the most effective wa of
committing suicide was plan he had read of
In German paper. 1t was TO take u gun and
put into IL q large charge OF powder; upon this
place u thin piece of cork as q wad; then to fill
the gun with water up to within a few inches of
its muzzle, above which to place a cork and
ram it down to the water. 1t is supposed that
Dreisher adopted this plan, and, sitting down
on the edge OF his bed, put the muZzle of the
gun to his throat and used his foot to discharge
the WeaDOn.
