FOUND DEAD.
A CHASTITY Discovery on An Alexandria
Perry Boat.

A CHASTITY Discovery on An Alexandria
Ferry Boat.
There was Q singular and sudden death yes
terday aboard the steamer Pilot Boy, now
running between Washington and Alexandria
on the ferry route. The CHASTITY discovery
was made after landing has been eff
fected at Alexandria and the passengers
had left the boat. Capt James Marmsduke, in
making one Of his usual rounds found
the body on the starboard quar- ter.
The man had been seated we'll up toward the
wheel house and had toppled over dead. The
body remained on tho chair, but was twisted rs
though death had come in an agonizing form.
The man must have died only few minutes
before the discovery. because he was not dead
when the boat landed, else some OF the passen-
gers would have noticed it. The chambermaid
saw the man sitting there throughout the
had been made. The body was fresh and
warm when found. Capt. Marmaduke at
once notified Chief Smith OF the Alex
andria police and the body was searched for
some clue as to the identity Of the unfortunate
man. Nothing of the kind WAS found. There
was not even the slightest thread that might
lead to knowledge OF who the man was
The body was brought back to this city
the morgue, where 1t now lies. Purser Cook
of the ferry recognized the body a.
that OF man who bought a straight
ticket for Alexandria for the 80 boat. Agent
Joehensan saw the man 80 on board, and saw
nothing peculiar about him.
The body appears to be that Of Q man about
fifty years OF age. and stoutly built.

FOULLY MURDERED.
Dead Mans Hollow at Isossiyn the Scene
of q Crime.

Dead Mans Hollow at Hossiyn the Scene
of q Crime.
John III. Swift, an ex-Union soldier from
Hartford, Conn. was murdered in dead Mans
Hollow" ravine on the new Falls Church
pike in Virginia, yesterday. 1t is supposed that
the crime was committed by a colored man, as
Swifs was last seen in his company.
When discovered by two ladies' life was not
extinct, but he died before medical assistance
could be brought from Rosslyn. 1t is thought
that swift was murdered for his money, as be
had about SIS with him when be applied for
work to Contractor Caton- An old coat, sup
posed to have been worn by the murderer, was
found near the murdered man
TO BE BURIED At ARLINGTON.
The body was finally taken in charge of by
Squire Burch Later an inquest was held, after
which Undertaken Birch of Georgetown placed
the temains in pine box and deposited them
In one of the sheds of the Arlington
Railroad Company, from which place they will
probably be inferred TODAY In the National
cemetery, permission to do 50 having been sp-
piled for.
Mr. Swift was a fraii little man, weighing
hardly 100 pounds.

WORK STOPS ON THE BIG DITCH.
No Money Available for the Nicaragua
Canal.

Canal.
The New York Tribune says: The Nicaragua
Canal Construction Company Is out Of funds
and has stopped all work upon the Nicaragua
canal. For some time It has been rumored
thatthe company has been affected by the gen.
eral stringency in the money market, and it
has also become known that there are some
international dissensions In the Company and
that there has been great disappointment that
the management has failed to obtain loans from
this country and from England.
Yesterday the officers admitted that work
on the canal had been stopped. They said that
the failure to 60 ahead with the work was due
simply and solely to failure to raise money,
and they had not much doubt that when affairs
became easier the work would 60 on. For the
present, however, their vast plant in Central
America would remain idle
1t had been intimated that the stoppage of
construction had been due partly to the
political troubles and revolutions in Central
America. Those changes would, however,
have caused comparatively little trouble to the
company had it been supplied with funds to go
ahead with the work.
