A DEAD CHINAMAN.
His Body Found Near the River and
His Death a Mystery.

His Body Found Near the River and
His Death a Mystery.
A dead body was found by ]. A. Speers
on Saturday afternoon in the brush near
the river below Y street. Speers, who
was fishing, returned and reported the
case to Coroner Clark, whose assistants
were dispatched to the place, but for some
reason failed to find the body on Satur-
day evening. Yesterday morning, how
ever, they discovered it and found it to be
the remains of Chinaman. The body
was in bad stage of decomposition and
the man had evidently been dead for
some weeks.
From the position of the body the de-
ceased is believed to have lain down and
died where he was found, but it was in
such state that if he died from violence
that fact could scarcely have been estab-
nshed. So far the body has not been
identified by the Chinese.

ACCIDENT 70 a BOY.
He Jumped From a Moving Car and
Broke His Arm.

he jumped from q Moving Gar ana
Broke His Arm.
The fact that The Trustees have passed
an ordinance intended to save the lives
and limbs of boys, by making it a misde-
meanor for them to jump on or off cleo
trio cars while the latter are in motion,
does not seem to have had much effect
thus far.
On Saturday evening boy had one of
his arms broken by jumping from car,
and if the practice be not checked soon
someone will surely be killed.
1t appears that about half-past o'clock
lady named Summers boarded an cleo
trio car at Oak Park accompanied by two
boys, one about Y and the other IA years
OF age. They were to be transferred to
the P-street line at Twenty y-eighth and 2
streets, but without waiting for the car to
stop the boys went to the rear platform,
where one dared the other to jump.
A couple of gentlemen on the platform
tried to deter them from leaping from the
car, but the boys would not heed them.
One jumped and escaped unhurt, but the
other was less fortunate. He struck the
ground hard, rolled over and over, and
got up with a fractured arm.
The motor-men and conductors cannot
be responsible for the safety of people
who do not ask TO have the cars stopped
for them to alight, and if people will per-
slst in jumping on and OFT cars in motion
they will do so at their own risk.
