DENTON, Md, April William os-
borne, better known as "Shorty, the col
ored waiter who has been missing from
the steamer Jopps since the night Of
Saturday, March 20, and whose mys-
terious disappearance has caused some to
suspect that he was foully dealt with,
was found floating under the Denton
bridge yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock.
Coroner w. w. Lowe Immediately
summoned jury and the body was
taken from the river and an investiga-
tion began, which will be concluded to-
morrow.
Drs. Enoch George and Alexander
Hardcastle examined the body and found
that the nsck had been broken, which
would seem to substantiate the suspi-
cion that the darkey was murdered and
his body cast into the river. Another
suspicious fact IL that the body, which

had not come to tia surface before, not
| withstanding several thunder storms
have occurred since the disappearance.
Weights are believed by some to havl
been placed on the body to keep it down
The night on which the man was las
seen alive was very stormy one, and h'
had been sent to store near the Joppa'I
wharf here, to purchase articles for th'
steamers table next day.
He never reached the store and tn,
fact that he was creditor of the COM
pAny to the amount of nearly MONTH

Part of the johnson Forge COmpany's
Works Destroyed Yesterday.
The rolling mill Of the johnson Forge
Company, at Claymont and Lobdel
streets, was destroyed by fire between 2
and o'clock Yesterday morning The
rear Of the office and houses adjoining
we're also burned away. An alarm was
struck from box AZ, at Heald and Lobdell
streets, and hundreds Of people gathered
on the scene in a short time The Fire
Department promptly responded and
battled with the flames for nearly two
hours. The flames were confined to the
rolling mill and no other part of the
works was destroyed
1t is not known how the fire originated
John Quinn, watchm an at the works, ,tirst
discovered the flames in the mill and inn
mediately had an alarm struck, and tele-
phoned to several places on this side Of
the bridge, that the building was on fire
John Taggart, who lives near by was
awakened by the smoke which poured
into his room, almost suffocating him
| He aroused his family and rushed into
the street to wake the neighbors, but
people were already beginning to answer
the alarm which Quinn had struck. The
burned house was also the property ol
the company.
The Johnson Forge Company, Of which
John K Johnson is president and De
Haven Morris secretary, owns the works
which are composed of two large frame
mills with slate roofs. The burned mil
was 200x60 feet and the forge mill il
nearly as large 1t contained Eve pud-
ding furnaces and much valuabl,
machinery, and was built onl,
about year ago. row of frame
houses adjoining also belonged to thu
company, and it is intended to tear then
down and erect large mill on tbs site
The forge mill was destroyed by fire ol
May 5, 1887, but was at once rebuilt
Mr.. Morris states that the exact loss cal
not be ascertained until the machinery
thoroughly examined. It will excee
$40, 900 and may reach $40, ,000 There

$40. 900, one third of it's whole value, 4

Base Ball Club overwhelmingly defeated
on its own grounds,on Saturday by the
Rochester team of Rochester, N. Y. The
home team was beaten everywhere and
it's defeat was partly owing to its own bad
errors. Many errors showed lack of team
work, while others showed lack of COM
mon sense on the part of the felders.
The opposing team was in excellent
shape and its strength was apparent.
But one error was made in the field, and
every man on the team, with one excep-
tion, made base hits, and several of
them made three base hits Griffin
knocked out home run. The local team
could not hit the ball. except in the last
inning, when three hits were made and
two runs scored
The local club put in Cox and Williams
in the fourth inning, and for three in
nings the score was not much increased,
but in the seventh the visitors pounded
him for seven hits, one of them being a
home run. The Rochester changed bat.

LET'S have some understanding about
this matter of the robber tariff with the
Morning News. It is commonly believed
that the editor Of the News, being a
scholar and having studied political
economy within the walls Of college
where mans mental and moral horo-
scope is not contracted and corrupted by
the idea that the people should pay tri-
butte to him for engaging in what he
falsely claims is losing business
to him. but beneficial to them,
while he rattles the ill-gotten millions in
his pocket, is not protectionist. Now,
this simple question will settle the mat
ter II the Morning News viii answer
1t honestly; Do you advocate and ap'
prove OF the tariff as it exists now, or dc
you approve Of the Mckinley billY
