RIcaMoND, Va. Sept. 2l.--The belief
Is growing that the man whQ killed him
self on a grave ia Oakwood cemetery
here last Sunday was w. ]. Armstrong,
who disappeared from Merchantville,
N. j., on Sept 10. and for whom large
reward is offered. The description
given of Armstrong tallies with the ap-
pearance Of the stranger, except in the
matter of age.
The suicide was evidently carefully
planned. In the watch pocket of the
trousers was this note: Life is an aw-
sui burden to one destitute of friends
and homeless. / am not insane, as some
people say. Sufficient money viii be
found on my person 10 give ME a
Christian burial
The handwriting was that of person
of education. The friends of Armstrong
have been communicated with and an
attempt was made 10 keep the body un-
til their arrival, but it was necessary to
bury it on Tuesday.

tary Noble and Maj. Warner arrived
here from Washington last night and
went at once to President Harrison's

There is a chance that Maj. Warner
will be Commissioner Tanners sue
cessor. An enormous pressure is being
brought to bear upon him, and although
he il as much averse to accepting the
place as he was last Monday his OBJ
jections may be overborne.
1t is not believed now that Maj. Mer,

more likely that Gen. Powell, of Illinois,
or Gen. Brown, of Ohio, will get the ap,
pointment in event that Warner finally
concludes not to take it.

woman registered at the Leland hotel as
Charles Brown and wife, Pittsburg."
After supper the pair were assigned
room and retired early.
About 10 o'clock an individual who
announced himself as constable from
Duncannon walked into the hotel and
asked the clerk if Mr.. Edward Bently
was there. The clerk did not think he
was. The constable described Mr..
Bently and the clerk thought the de-
scription tailed with Mr.. Brown" Of
"Is there woman with himss asked
the clerk.
II think there is,' answered the con-
stable.
When the clerk informed the officer
that at that minute Mr.. Pently, alias

"Well, that isn't his wife, said the
constable. 1T Is Mrs. Rice, of Dun
cannon, and they have eloped."

the clerk would not assent TO until he
could produce a warrant, and advised
the constable to go to the mayors Office.

rant and the assistance of Lieutenant
Kaube. Together they went up to the
room and looking over the transom dis
covered the pair asleep.

Scenes Of Horror in the Quaint
French TOwl.
THE WORK OF RECOVERING BODIES

Revolving Sights in the RuIns--Ths Work
of Rescue II slow and the FuII Extent
Of the Catastrophe stin Unknown.
Twenty-Five Corpses and Eighteen
Wounded Unfortunatea Recovered.
QUEBEc. Sept. 81. = All night the
scene OF the terribly fatal landslide be-
low the citadel was thronged by busy
laborers and excited spectators.
Hundreds of willing hands were en-
gagged in the work of digging out the
deblis, in search of the unfortunates
who were buried in tie ruins, and not a
workman faltered, though rocks were
still falling from the heights at inter
walls, and it was feared that the whole
point would give way.
The Work Of Rescue.
The horrors Of the dreadful day are
still succeeding each other. While
workers were clearing the debris of a
crumbled building they discovered the
bleeding body of Joe Kemp. The man
is in the most miserable condition. Both
legs, his left arm and several ribs are
broken. Kemp will not live two hours.
Two hours later his wife's body was
taken out Her head was almost se-
vered from the body and indications
point to a most revolving and violent
death.
Further away the corpse Of Mrs. Law
son, who had been greatly admired for
her beauty and amiability, was extri-
Gated from under a rafter in which
about ten tons of stone and dirt were
lying. She was smashed almost fat.
The abdomen was ripped open and. the
entrails scattered about. Her husband
became violently insane after viewing
the remains.
Twenty-Five COrpses Found.
Up to this time the number of corpses
found is twenty-five and the wounded
number eighteen.
Preparations are being made for the
funerals of the killed. They will be
buried at the joint expense Of the city
and pNDvincial governments.
A man named Michael Bradley, who
had gone almost crazy when told that
all his family had persisted in the land
slide, discovered while working over the
wreck of his house, his 6-year-old
daughter still alive. His Joy was inde-
scribable. He kissed and fondled her as
a mother would her babe. It is thought
the child will live.
Among those under the rocks are
young couple named Nolan, who had
been but a few weeks married. Nolan
could have escaped, but lost his life try
ing to get his wife out of the house.
The Citadel Unsafe.
It is thought the kings bastion of
the citadel will have to be removed, as
1t now is too near the edge of the rock,
with unsafe crevices in front of it. As
q precautionary measure all commune
cation with the bastion has been cut off.
Some 10000 persons visited the scene of
the disaster during the day.
1t has been decided to use small
charges of powder to break up the large
bowlders covering the roadway, as it is
certain that there can be no one alive
beneath the mud.
