This Morning. by Engineer CabDeii.
The mystery surrounding the disap'
pearanc e since last Thursday night oil
John W. Lahiff was solved this morning
by the discovery Of the body between the
buckets of the wheel of the government
steamer J G. Parke, while lying at the
foot of Nineteenth street. The engineer,
John Cabbell. was walking out on the
guards about 500 when he made the
discovery The police were notified and
Marshal Brennan and Officer Gary recov-
cred the body and identified it as that Of
the missing man. The remains were
taken in charge by Undertaken Kuox, and
Coroner Hawes summoned, and he en-
anneled jury composed Of Messrs. IL.

lis. John Brennan, Thos Campbell and j.
Condor. The evidence of VIM. Atkin>
son, Rudolph Schwecke, Geo. w. Willis
and others was taken, substantially veri>
flying the theory appearing in the ARGUS
last Saturday, which is that Lahitf at
tempted to walk across the railroad bridge
about 10 o'clock Thursday night and fell
into the river and was drowned. 1t is
supposed the body WAS brought to the
surface by the rotation of the Parkes'
wheel and eEtangled in it. JAS. Me-
Quade was, according to the evidence,
the last person who saw Lahiff alive,
which was about 10 O'Clock the night
stated, when he was climbing between
two freight cars and making for the rail-
road bridge over the slough. When La
hitI was last seen he had coat on, but
when found he had not.

| Mai Mackenzie and the other govern
ment engineers greatly deplore the cut
ting down of one item in the upper Mis-
sissippi section of the river and harbor
bill. In it all traces of $25 900, the sum
heretofore set apart for work with the
snag boats. are lost. By the efforts of
| friends of river work, it was made this
year, in the house bill, perpetual ap~
preparation. The senate cut the amount
down to $4,000, and made the appro~
prlation annual. Whether this was al
lowed to remain, or whether it was re-
stored to its original status along with
the other items, seems to be uncertain.
But it is true that the cut of $3.50, 600
for general work would be far less seri-
GUS in immediate results than the scaling
down of the snagging appropriation. The
others are works of repair and main
tenance. Major Mackenzie says that
without it the river would be unnavi,
gable, after time, in many places.
Whatever be the depth of the channel or
the condition of the banks, steamboat
communication cannot be carried on if
boat may, at any time, be sent to the
bottom by snag. The government snag
boat is kept busy constantly, removing
these dangerous hidden distinctions to
navigation, cutting away leaning trees
which caving of the banks has brought
into the path of steamers, and keeping
the channel clear. 1t has to cover the en-
tire stretch of river from ST. Paul to st.
Louis. The snag boat of the upper river
is the Gen. Barnard, of which Capt Dur>
ham, of this CITY, is master.
