Sad Death of a Worthy Young Man.
Mr.. j ohm G. Ware, an aged and respected farmer,
lives near Jarrettsville, Hartford county. His
only SON, John, who owned fine farm near his
fathers property and who was very comfortably
off, was known as good business man and was
highly respected by his neighbors. Last week
young Ware went to Baltimore to attend to some
business and among other things paid note at
the Old Town Bank. He was seen on Saturday
afternoon by some acquaintance, when he ap-
peared to have been drinking some, and nothing
more was seen heard of him until six o'clock
Monday morning, when his body was found float
ing in the basin at Spears Wharf The note
which he had paid at the Old Town Bank was
the only thing found his person and this served
to identify him. The coroner's jury rendered q
verdict that he came to his death through acct
dent, the theory being that he wandered down to
the dock Saturday night and fell overheard. The
fact that the unfortunate man had no money about
him led some persons to believe that he was rob-
bed and then thrown into the dock. 1t is said
that he often carried considerable sums of money
and none having been found on the body would
seem to lend color to this suspicion. Young Ware
was about thirty-six years of age and unmarried.
His father, who is quite an old gentleman, is in
very comfortable circumstances. The body was
removed to his late nome on Tuesday, in charge
of Mr.. William B. Jarrett.
