basin.
The men set TO work with shovels 10 throw
this moist sand out, wondering, IA they dug,
what could cause the terrible stencil that per-
yaded the atmosphere. This catch BASIN IL
should be explained, Ia circular, built OF brick,
with n heavy wooden top on IA level with the
street. About two feet below the top an OPEN
ing is made i'm the side of the brick wall To the
southwest and barred iron grating is set in,
through which tho water in the ditch should
flow. With the exception OF this side, which Is
open 20 the bottom OF the grating, the circular
brick basin is surrounded with dirt almost To
the street level. While peering through il Fore
man Rosch saw through the iron bars some
white substance floating In the water inside tho
catch asin At first he thought IL was n dog,
and the men wondered how dog could have
gotten into tho place.
A closer examination revealed the fact that
the white object was the nude body of "A lnan.
They removed the heavy plank top and found
that n large quantity OF cotton hatting had been
thrown over the corpse, partially covering 1t.
The head was bent forward upon the breast
and was entirely submerged. The feet and legs
were also out OF sight in the water. The body
was floating only the back and hips appearing
above the surface. The basin is some four feet
across and the water is nearly four feet deep.
There " as not "a single shred OF clothing on
the body, but around the neck was cord from
which depended an Agmus Del, n little religious
emblem which the Doctor had worn for years.
In the forehead, at the roots OF the hair, APP
peared three horrible wounds, each about an
inch in length and appearing TO have been cut
with some sharp instrument. The body was in
an excellent state OF preservation, the flesh
being as white as though only day had
elapsed since death. Even around the
wounds slight discoloration IVES all the decay
marked, while the bloating Of the body was not
excessive,

There is no town in the State, of the
size of Perrysburg, that can boast of
better hotel accommodations than Per-
rysburg. Our hotels are not given to
praising themselves, but better accom-
modations cannot be secured any place
than in this village. The Leaf House,
near the depot, accommodates n large
number of guests and the proprietor is
courteous and polite to all, furnishes
good meals and has n quiet, orderly
house. j. II. Pierce, of the Exchange,
furnishes better accommodations than

out upon the beautiful Maumee, fur
nishes view of natural and historic

is greeted by a stretch of sky, valley,

The people were determined to have
n king notwithstanding Samuel's pro-
test, when the Lord directed Samuel to
hcarkcn TO the voice of the people.
The elders returned to their homes
and Samuel awaits further direction
from the Lord. In the first part OF the
chapter which contains our lesson, the
story is told of the manner in which the
future king of Israel was led TO the
home of Samuel. In that simple story
the fact is strongly emphasized of the
Lords providcntial care in humane
affairs.
The time OF the event related in this
lesson is very soon after the preceding
lesson 1905 B. c. Some say four years
earlier, others say twenty years earlier,
than the date given.
The place was ut Ramah, the home
of Samuel, supposed to be four miles
northwest of Jerusalem.
Samuel was about 20 years old, and
both prophet and Judge Of Israel.
Saul asked for, or desired) was the
son of Kish, of the tribe OF Benjamin
and the first king Of Israel. He was a
giant in stature, and of fine personal
appearance, but what he possessed in
strong physical powers, was sadly
marred by inferior mental capacity.
His character is aptly described by one
writer as different, affectionate, brave
but impulsive, good warrior, attrac
tive and popular" 1t is supposed he
was about 40 years old when chosen
king.

The Maumee river claimed ano ther
victim yesterday. Mrs. Van Gieson, of
Toledo, accompanied by her s year old
daughter, Mata, came to Perrysburg
on the steamer Pastime to enjoy sum-
mer day in the country. About one
o'clock while the mother and child with
others of the picnic party were resting
in the shade near the corner of Louisi-
ana avenue and Front street, the child
went down to the dock. She was gone
but a few minutes when on going to see
where she had gone it was discovered
she had waded in to the water near the
old ware house, and going out too far
stepped off the edge of the old dock
the water, and had drowned in thirteen
feet of water. The alarm was given
and George and Seraph Boetsch and
George Walters rushed into recover
the body, which was accomplished, but
too late TO save her life. The body was
taken to the office of DR.. Rheinfrank,
all efforts to resuscitate proving futile,
and prepared for burial by r. S. Clegg
and assistants. Word was at once tele-
phoned to the brother of the child who
is employed in the furniture house of
Stolberg & Parks, and he came up on
the afternoon boat to assist in comfort
ing the mother and taking the remains
home on the evening boat. The child
is the daughter of Richard Van Geson
the youngest child and only daughter
in family of four children. The al
most frantic mother was kindly cared
for by DR.. Rheinfrank and the kind
family of j. II. Pierce.
