Correspondence OF tho Richmond Dispstch.l
CHARLorrEsyuLE. Va. Dec. 5. 1890
Charles II. Garner. a painter, attempted
suicide here yesterday by taking lauda-
mum. Early in the morning he went TO a
bar-room on Main street, where he took
several drinks of whskey. Afterwards ne
came back several times and asked Tor
more whiskey, which was refused him, by
the bartender, who thought ne hau
drank too much already. Later IN
the day he borrowed q dollar from
a merchant and went % a drugstore
and bought six drachms of laudanum. and
then went back to the bar-room, where he
called for glass of water. into which ne
poured the laudanum and drank the entire
contents of the glass. He then retired TO
an adjoining room TO go 20 sleep. Sus-
pecting something wrong the clerk called
Dr II. T.. Nelson. who with stomach,
pump soon had the would-be suicide well
enough 10 be taken 10 his home. No cause
is assigned for the rash act except tempo
rary insanity, produced by a too free use
of whiskey.

Fllyson stated that he was willing TO hear
any other opinions that those present

given he asked for q private conference
with Mr.. Berger and the manager of the

would eliminate everything OF an objec-

formances. Under these circumstances
and from the evidence given at the con-
ference. Mayor EllysOn decided that he
would not be justified in ordering the play

WHAT CAPTAIN ANGLE THINKS.
CAPTAIN Angle did not make any state
ment at the conference, but had a private
talk with Mayor Ellyson before the meet
inc. To dispatch reporter he said, he re-
ported the piece because he heard great
objection raised 10 IL az the audience left
the Academy Thursday night. Nearly
every ono seemed 20 consider il objection
able He would not have been so unfayor-
ably impressed, but he heard many and
strong expressions of disapprobation.
Moreover, there was some disorder at times
in the audience. In acting as he did he
felt that he had only done his duty. For
his part he certainly thought the perform
ance immoral.

Redondo Beach Struggling
With a Mystery.
DEATHS FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
The Orsnge CrOp-Other Local News
of More Than Ordinary
Interest.

The residents of Redondo Beach and
vicinity are considerably excited over
mysterious discovery made by one ol
their number on Friday morning last
About s 80 O'Clock, s. M. Cook, a brick,
layer, was strolling on the wharf, and.
moved by spirit of curiosity, climbed
up into freight car, the door of which
was invitingly open. The car was an or
binary "box," and had been standing on
the track at the end of the wharf for
several days past. Itwas No. 904, of the
S. X. D. Company, and had con-
veyed load of oranges from Lucky
Baldwin's ranch; but the freight had
been unloaded on Tuesday last, since
which time it had remained empty. In
one corner of the car, near the door
which faced the ocean, Cook saw large
pool of red liquid, which on closer in
spection proved to be blood, and near
this was found Derby hat, size ia, and
a gold-mounted dagger, the blade of
which was four and 8 half inches in length
and blood-stained to the hilt. Cook was
naturally very much frightened by his
discovery, but he picked up the hat and
dagger and carried them to Constable
George Foyer, of Chatauqua township,
and related the circumstances of his dis
covery to him. The officer took charge
of the weapon and hat, and upon in
specting the car found the blood as de-
scribed by Cook, but no further clue in
explanation of the mystery could be OBJ
tanned. Owing to the position in which
the car stood, it was possible for the
murderer, if crime had been com
mitted, to have thrown his victim from
the door of the vehicle into the sea, aud
it is this theory which seems to prevail
in the neighborhood.
The Police Department was notified of
the discovery, but up to a late hour last
nightno one had been reported as miss
ing, and the solution of the mystery is
apparently as far off as at the outset.

Both Deaths Found to Result from
Natural Causes.
Coroner Meredith held an inquest last
night upon the body of Thomas Rud-
dock, the capitalist, who died on Friday
morning while being driven in hack
from the Southern California railroad de-
pot to the residence of Hon. L. J. Rose,
on Grand avenue. As the body had
been removed by the consent of the Cor
oner from Cussen's undertaking parlors,
on First street, to the family residence,
No. 317 Grand avenue, the jury was con-
veyed in a carriage to the lat
ter place at 6 80 O'Clock to view
it; and while there the testimony of S.
was taken. He knew nothing of the cir
cumstances surrounding his brothers.
death, but stated that he had complained
of late of pains in his chest, as of bad
cold. The deceased was 72 years of age
and native of Massachusetts,. The iury
was then driven to the Coroner's office,
where the rest of the testimony was
taken. D. s. Culp, the hack-driver in
whose vehicle Mr.. Ruddock expired, re-.
stated the facts chronicled in yester-
days HERALD, whereupon the jury re-
turned verdict from natural causes.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner Meredith
held an inquest on the body of Wong An
Nee, native of China, 35 years of age,
who was found dead by his room mate in
a hovel on Msrchessault alley yesterday
morning. From the testimony of Wong
Lee, the man who roomed with the de-
ceased, it was learned that he was a
cigar-maker by occupation. The two
Cinnamon retired to their room as usual
on Friday night about II o'clock, and
the deceased was then apparently in
good health. At an early hour yesterday
morning Wong Lee arose, and as his
companion was apparently asleep he
went over to his bed and shook him.
There being no response, Lee made an.
other attempt to rouse his rOom-m ate,
but found that he was dead. The jury
returned verdict of death from natural
causes.
