FOUND IN olLue's CREEK.
The Body OF Mr.. Stevenson Recovered
Near the Lower Gas-works.

Tho body Of Mr.. w. II. Stevenson. who
was drowned last Thursday night in Gillis's
creek, was found about half-past / O'clock
yesterday afternoon at n point almost i'm
mediatciy in rear OF the lOwor gas-works.
Although the creek had been we'll
dragged on Saturday and was at the time
OF the recovery being examined az another
place 10y friends of the deceased, the body
was discovered by colored man who was
walking along the banks of the stream but
upon an entirely different mission:
Coroner Taylor visited the locality and
viewed the remains, but deemed an in
quest unnecessary. He, however, walked
up 10 the arch where the cries OF M
Stevenson were heard, and from which il
Is supposed he fell into The water.
TUE NIGHT WAS DARK.
Tho night on which Mir. Stevenson IS
thought TO have fallen into the creek was
vCry dark and the stream was swollen to
az unusual extent.
Mr. Stevenson left his home. a short dis
tanco from the gas-housc. about o'clock
Thursday evening and went to MIR. Philip
O'Ncils store IN Fulton to buy groceries.
After lingering there awhile be said he be-
lcyed he would 60 by and see Mr.. En-
roughty. About s o'clock he left his
friends house 10 60 home and Mr.. En-
roughly advised him 20 return by another
route, but he said he preferred the road by
which he usually went.
After this no one saw Mr.. Stevenson until
the negro cspied his lifeless form in tho
water.
SKETCH OF THE DECEASED.
Mr.. Stevenson was born and raised in
Richmond, and was forty-two years old.
Some seven or eight years ago he went 10
Atlanta, where he lived until about two
months ago, when be returned to Rich
moDd.
The deceased was a blacksmith bv occu-
patton. but was recently employed at Oak
wood cemetery. He leaves n wife and one
child, a son about fourteen years old.
His remains were taken to the under
taking-rooms OF l.. T. Christian 10 be pre-
pared for burial. The funeral will take
place from The residence Of Mr. John r..
Grimes, hrother-in-law of the drowned
man, No. 10 north Thirtieth street, at 10
O'Clock this morning.
Alr. Stevenson had not entirely finished
moving into the house in which he was
living at the time OF his disappearance.
PLACE OF DANGER.
The arch or bridge from which the de-
ceased fell hos q stone guard on each side
of II about twelve or fifteen inches high.
Upon this. 20 make if of greater safety 10
pedestrians III crossing, had been placed a
cLn.u-c cuard, increasing the height of the
guard about twelve inches mora. The
roadway of the arch was very muddy, and
il is supposed that Mr. Stevenson under
took t. walk on the stone elevation TO
avHd the mud, and as the chain was
broken he probably tripped and fell into
the Seethlug waters below.
