Unidentified wreckage.

New YoRK, March 25.-All efforts to
trace the identity of the vessel whose
wreckage was passed by the steamer
Colorado, Saturday, have so far failed.
Agents of the steamer Conservator, OF
Madrid, which sailed from here week
ago for Samana, say that it did not COR
respond in any particular with that OF
their vessels. Agents of the Clyde Line
steamer Saginaw also denied that the
wreckage belonged to their vessels. A
possible clue to the shipwreck was fur
nished by two incoming vessels this
morning.
The Atlas line steamer Athos, from
Port Limon, which arrived early to-day,
reports having passed Saturday noon a
white-painted steamer, disabled and
bound south, showing German colors.
The big Lockart, which also got in this
morning from San Domingo, brings more
definite reports of the ship in distress.
The Lockart's captain said that on March
10Th, in latitude 36.4 west, longitude
1901, he spoke the British steamer
Yeomandell in disabled state. The
Yeomandell had a heavy list to star
board and her decks were on line with
the water. Her machinery was disabled
and her sails blown away.
The disabled vessel displayed a series
of signals indicating distress and hoisted
a request to have her condition tele-
grsphed to the English Lloyds. The
Yeomandell left New Orleans for Rouen,
France, March Sd. On the Maritime
Exchange to-day it was thought prob
able that the latter vessel had gone
down and that the raft and driftwood
passed by the Colorado on Saturday
were all that was left to tell the story of
her destruction.
From descriptions OF the wreckage it
is believed the lost vessel is the gunboat
Conserva, which had 80 much trouble in
getting away from this port because she
was suspected of being intended for the
Raytien insurgents.

beautiful bay, bath in the refreshing water,
or a tramp across the hills with rifle.
In failing to visit this wonderful place, with
the attractions that have been added through
the enterprise of Ford & Myer, who have re.
fitted the hotel and increased the boating and
bathing fscilities, you surely make terrible
mistake. The hotel is now open. The new

There was bunglin! work at the han ring.
Smart died almost instantly after the drop

and he hung with the ropo caught over his
chin and lower teeth.
He had to be pulled upon the scaffold again
and was able to talk to the hangman while q
new rope was being prepared.
The fact of the moose slipping he con-

DROWNED, BUTONLYATRAMP
ANOTHER OF THE RIVERS DEAD TAKEN
FROM THE WATER.

Found dro&bed. Taken to the Morgue.
Buried In Potter's Field.
So ends the last chapter of one mans life.
His previous history is unknown.
A policeman standing on the pier at SiItieth
street and the East River last night saw the
dead face look .ng up at him from the water.
1t seemed to plead for assistance, help to
land, and be at rest forever.
A boat was quickly procured, and the
policeman and a longshoreman rowed out
after the corpse, which was upright i'll the
water.
The swift tide whirled it about again and
was carrying it of Town the river towards the
bay.
A storm of wind and rain came up, but
still the policeman and his assistant kept on
after the body. and finally captured it, while
the | ghtning flashed and the thunder rolled.
They had no easy task 10 regain the shore.
but this they finally accomplished in safety.
Under a II old shed, by the light of a few
'longshoremen's lanterns, the policeman ex-
amined his lind.
1t was the body of n tall, muscular-looking
man, whose right arm had been amputated
close to the shoulder.
The body was thin and lily nourIshed. and
it was PLAIN to be seen that hunger as much
as anything else drove the unfortunate to the
water.
His clothing was old and tattered, all but
his shoes which were cheap but whole.
His hair was black aud grew ong and un-
kempt. He wore a black mustache and
go,tee, but there was n growth of several
days beard upon his cheeks.
He was about thIrty-ive years old and
seemed to have led a hard life.
The boLy was taken 10 the Morgue. There
it was placed n a rough line box awaiting
removal to Potter's Field when al EVENING
WORLD reporter called this morning.
Bob, Morgue-keeper Whites assistant, said
that no one had called to identity the re-
mans.
- guess he had no friends" suggested the
reporter. :" He looks like a tramp
Yes, poor devil, a." said Bob. folks would
call him a tramp, l suppose. but he WAS not
always 80. He must have had II mother once.
She loved him. Perhaps she is alive and
loves him yet. and even now may he hoping
against hope that she Will hear from hin.
Who knows what drove him Town aud down
until he sought the river for Il refuge.
Yes, he was only a tramp, they'll say.
and who cares for a tramp" and Bob replaced
h. cover on the pine box and gully sighed.
perhaps the only expression of sorrow the
unfortunate corpse Will receive.
If not identified to-day the body will be
buried III Potter's Field tomorrow.

MAY SAVE CITY HALL PARK.
THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AGAINST THE
MUNICIPAL BUILDING SCHEME.

Mayor Grant has recognized the right Of the
public to say whether or not the City Hall Park
shall be sacrificed by the erectio OF a mammoth
municipal building thereon.
The unanimous condemnation by the press
and public Of the proposition to erect such a
building in the park has had its effect, as is evil
dorced by a letter which the Mayor sent to the
Board of { commissioners for the erection Of the
sRlne, which held a meeting in the Comptroller's
office at 3 p. NJ. YESTERDAY.
In his letter the Mayor calls the attention of
n hearing to the public, at which the views Of
all who desire TO be heard may be obtained az to
whether the City Hall Park should be used a. a
site for the building.
On motion of Comptroller Myers a. public
hearing was appointed to be held at the Mayors
office at . p. NJ. sept. {, and the date for the re-
ccption Of competing plans was extended from
Aug. l to Oct. !.
This practically means the death and burial of
the project tor crowding a monster public build
