GALVESTON, TEX, May 1s.-This afternoon
Alex Kenneth while out driving with some lit
tie girls, discovered dead body lying south of
the fair grounds in bunch OF conee
bushes at the foot of the sand

and conducted them to the place and, upon ex-
animation, the body identified as that 4
young Arthur Eckmann, aged sixteen years, OF
Richmond, Tex. Young Eckmann, who
attending the West avenue ''L'
school, left Mrs. BranChs, where he was

Gibson and Mr.. Glenn Basset. When
the body was discovered it was
lying face downwards, with his hands clasped
under his forehead. 1t was very much decom-
posed, out was recognized by DR., Gibson and
Mr.. Bassett, and when Mrs. Branch shown
his hat and handkerchief she said: ''They be-
longed to young Eckmann.' There
was no mark OF violence on the body.
and the superstition is that young

position he was found. and died. The bride Of
the pony was found on the bush,
but the animal Is still missing.
Young ECkmann member OF one

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 1s.-United States
special detectives have found pension irregulsri-
ties in the lower part Of South Carolina. ma
toritY of the United States pensioners in this
state are negroes, and the most successful pen
sion agents are colored preachers. The negro Is
satisfied If he gets few hundred dollars for his
entire pension money. He will, for
few silver coins, sign all papers emitting
him to a pension and release all claim
to it. Agents not satisfied with the profit have
had colored people sign blank slips of paper,
persuading them that this vas merely to show
that they could write. Negroes usually
proud OF the ability to write their names. and
have been easily persuaded. These sigma
lures have been attached to atida-
Wits upon which pensions are secured
Pension detectives having learned Of this
scheme have arrested its manipulators, as well
IS the negroes charged with securing pensions
under false pretenses and securing false afida-
Wits. Several colored women. who as widows OF
soldiers were entitled to pensions, have been
drawing them right along, notwithstanding
their subsequent marriage, which ended their
claims on the treasury.
