BODY FoUND.-Captain Webster, of
the police force, was early last night
notified by telephone from Mt. Vernon
that the body of young man, appar-
emily about twenty-five years old, had
been found in Little Hunting creek,
near the railroad bridge. Just below
the heart was bullet wound; and there
had been found in one of the pockets of
the mans coat box almost full of cart
ridges. There were no letters or pa
pers in the pockets of the clothing to
give any clew to the mans identity,
and the examination which mad been
made by Supt. Dodge, at ut. Vernon,
revealed nc marks of any importance
upon the clothing The body was at
tred in a neat suit of blue serge, blue
shirt with white standing collar, and
shoes. The mans hair was brown and
his face smooth, and he was OF medium
build. rhe revolver which fired the
shot was not tounG, but it is supposed
that after he shot himself it dropped
lrotn his hand as he fell into the water.
The people who telephoned the news
to this city seemed to think Alexandria
should take charge of the body, and
asked Captain Webster what disposi-
ton should be made Of it. He, of
course, told them to notify a magistrate
vino would summon jury and hold an
inquest. The body was taken to Mt.
Vernon wharf, and to-day Justice Trip
lett, Of Fairfax county, held the usual
inquest. The verdict was to the effect
that the deceased came to his death
from a bullet wound inflicted by some
one unknown to the jury. The body
was buried near where found on the
south bank of Little Hunting creek.
