ATLANTIC CITY, June 13.-with tb,

unknown man was found this morning
The case proves to be q very mysterious
one, and the authorities have been In.
vest!gatinR 1t all day without avail In
reaching the identity OF the deceased,
He was about 8 feet inches In height
and weighed about 1876 pounds. His
hair was light brown and he wore a
mustnche OF the same color. BE wore
closely buttoned diagonal frock coat.
deep cut vest and striped pantaloons,
all of good texture.
The strangest part of the case 10 shat
nothing was found on the body save a
copy OF The Press OF yesterday. Not q
lstter or card that might lead to ide enti.
hosslon was In the pockets. They were
empty Of everything but ssnd, which
hand been washed into them by the
tide, The corpse was found at the odge
OF tae surf line. There was no marks
OF violence, and 1t Was evident that /,
hour.
At the inquest tonight 1t was de-
veloped that the man had bsen seen
down by Governator's Pavilion in com.
pany with three other men, all appsr
emily from Philadelphia. They were
drinking quite freely aud later In the
evening the deceased was sesn on the
boardwalk complaining OF rheumatism
In the lower limbs and asking whether
the tide was in or out. The manner OF
finding the body was such ms to leave
no room for doubt Of the absence OF
foul play, and the theory most accepted
Is that the man either fell In In faint or
was stricken with heart failure and
dropped on tho sand whom the tide soon
ulled his lungs, causing drowning. The
boz , Is at an undertaker's and will be
held until to morrow afternoon In the
hope that the three Philadelphiaus who
were with him will be heard from.
James 6eddon, OF 1923 Vino street,
died suddenly this evening on the late
train down from the city shortly after
leaving Camden. He had been i'll for
several weeks and his death seems to
nave not been unexpected. The body
is at Undertaken Champions awaiting

Der the entrance OF Havana harbor Ia
guarded by Moro Castle. The garri-
son numbers about 900 men. Three
years ago last June the temperature
rose beyond all previous records and
the suffering was intense. The au-
thorities were dreading the possible in
vasion OF Cuba's deadliest scourge-
yellow fever. News came to the city
OF the breaking out of the fever at the
castle. Immediately steps were taken
tor the complete isolation of the fort.
No boats were allowed to land from
the infected locality, and none were
brave enough to venture the casting
OF their lot with the garrison.
AT sunset each day we watched the
gates open and funeral coreges wind
their way down the hill to the little
garrison cemetery; we listened for the
volleys of salute, their number denot
ing how many brave fellows had sue.
cumbed that day. One evening as we
alphabetically gazed across the water a
boat shot forth from the pier at
Havana. 1t was loaded to the gun
wales with provisions and medicines
and none In that crowd needed to be
told It's destination. Our eyes then
sought the guider OF the little craft,
and, to our horror, saw the sole occu.
pant was woman. Then universal |
shout OF protest came too late. She
paused an instant from her rowing and
silenced our murmuring with q wave
of her small hand.
~ am alone" she said. f'From
all Havana not one regret will follow
me. IT'S better that I should go than
a life upon whose tenure hangs the
fate of others. Good .byel"
We strained our eyes across the
water, watched her strokes grow
slower and slower as the awful heat
sapped her very life and finally pause
exhausted beneath Castle Morro's
walls. Those faithful souls, brave
and constant to the last, refused ad-
mission, though we could feel the
hunger and longing expressed in their
long suffering eyes. At length faint
resistance ceased-they eagerly came
down to the welcome boat-fairly
lifted their angel of mercy on waiting
and, followed by others
bearing the medicine, to which many
poor fellows will owe their lives, are
lost to our view within the castle
walls. "
"The first effect we noticed was the
reduction in the number of salutes
over the soldiers graves; then one
blessed morning, when breeze, all
but cool, came straight from your
Northland, the distress signal was
hauled down, and again the royal flag
of Spain hoated proudly from the bat

exchanged congratulations with the

timely succor. Now, there, gentle
