TARRYTowS, June 26.-Frank Atwood, the
travelling salesman from Philadelphia, is less

won who committed suicide by drowning at
Croton, last Friday night, Is that OF his long
lost wife.
His Identification last night was positive

her identity Is considerably shaken.

While travelling on local train between
Philadelphia and Germantown, about 1883,
he met young woman who gave her name
as Miss Purcell Marinl. The acquaintance
ripened into love, and though he knew
nothing OF the girls antecedents or history he
married her.
She had told him that her parents were
wealthy, hut that she LEFT home owing TO II
quarrel. He accepted her assertion that She
had never done any wrong.
They went to live at III Vine street, Phlla-
delphia, whore their daughter Louise was
born. Their home was happy, although his
business frequently compelled him 10 be alb

ITS STENCAES BOTTLED UP.
Standard Gas Company Abates
Its Riverside Nuisance.
Health Officials Investigate and
Harlem Gets Relief.

The Board OF Health is at work upon its
census Of the gas-houso district along the
East River front In Harlem. Inspectors went
around yesterday among the etenement-houses
near the foot OF East One Hundred and FIJI
teenth and one Hundred and sixteenth
streets, questioning the residents about the
smells and stenches against which such bitter
complaint has been raised.
Very little odor was perceptible from the
Standard Gaslight Company's works yester-
day, although the wind was in the right direc-
tion TO watt the stenches over the city II there
had been any OF the OIL refuse lying around.
The Compauy's agents are shrewd, how
ever, and, bowling to the public demand, every
means has been utilized to kill the bad smells
which were formerly let loose in the neigh
borhood. Lime and other chemicals are used
to disinfect the oil refuse, and everything
combustible is burned.
AS a result OF precautions taken q stranger
going through the district now would not
know that there is q gas-house in the vicinity.
II the Company continues to exercise these
precautions 1t is all that the dwellers in the
neighborhood demand. II shows that the
nuisance can be abated and has temporarily,
OF least, been stopped.
THE EVENING WORLD has explained that
the chief source OF the nuisance In the past
has been the pollution OF the water In the
Rast River by the discharge OF the reruse
liquid from the gas retOrtS and generators
into the slips at the foot OF one Hundred and
Fifteenth street.
The current Of the stream does not reach
this part OF the shore, and the result has been
that a mass Of foul-snelling scum would lie In
the slips around the wharves OF the gas COM
pany for long periods.
This practice also has been stopped during
the past week. and yesterday the water In
the East River on one Hundred and Blk
teenth street was clean and uncontaminated.
The present investigation OF the Board Of
Health Is being conducted under the personal
supervision OF DR.. Ewing, tho Sanitary Super
intendent, and DR.. Martin, the chief chemist.
Now that the Company has shown that It IL
rully able to bottle UP its smells, the people
In the neighborhoOd OF Pleasant avenue and
Rast One Hundred and Sixteenth street hope
that the health authorities will enforce such
regulations as win permanently abate the
nuisance from which they have 80 long SUI
fered.

JOCKEY GARRISON'S DISGRACE.
His Suspension by the Board Of
Control the Talk Of the Turf.
His Own Foolish Talk Responsible
for His Downfall.

The disgrace OF Edward II. Cpopularly
known as snapper) Garrison, one Of the great
est Jockeys this country has ever produced, is
the talk Of the turf to-day. The Board OF
Control, which is composed OF representatives
from the Monmouth Park, New York, Coney
Island and Brooklyn Jockey clubs, Issued this
order late yesterday:
"The license Of Edward II. Garrison is
hereby suspended"
An EVENING WORLD reporter asked seere-
tary Vosburg to define the SPECIFIC charge Of
which Garrison was guilty. He replied:
"All am at liberty TO say fl that Garrison
has been suspended on general principles"
1t all came about in a curious way and was
caused by Garrison's foolish talk.
He has had several mounts on Nomad, a
colt owned by ex-senator L. J. Rose, OF CALI
fornia. Nomad has several times been pitted
against 81. Flortan, the acknowledged crack
of the two-year-olds. on one occasion Garri-
son was heard to say:
"Tve got a bet on NOmRd and I'll put st.
Florihn over the fence before I get through" "
A few days after this remark was made 81.
FlOr1an md Victory were in the race to-
gether. Garrison rode the latter and st.
Flortan bolted through the fence.
In view Of GarrisOn's remarks suspicion
Immediately arose that he had had something
To do with st. FlOrian's fall, and an tnvestiga-
tlon was ordered on complaint OF Mr.. John A.
Norris, owner OF st. FlOrian.
The Board Of Control eXonerated Garrison
But while this investigation was going on
other charges were made against him.
II was said that he pulled Judge Morrow In
a race that Tulla Blackburn, Maidstone and
Reclarc all beat him. Judge Morrow won two
iine races artcr that happening. This was
also Investigated by the Board and is sup
posed to be the real reason OF Garrison's sus-
pension.
II Is also said that Garrisons whole career
has been reviewed, and all the cases OF sus-
ninOus riding IN which he has been concerned
have been investigated.
