Evidences OF the Storm.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. "A spe.

bodies, victims OF wrecks occurring Oh
the reefs during the recent storm, have
been washed ashore on the islands. The
dead are evidently sailors from vessels
destroyed, although the length OF tlns
which has elapsed since the storm has
rendered the bodies beyond ldenti1ca-

The Commission AdJourps to Meet AgaiI
 In wash!n.tan ~ept- 2S.

The Com mission \ dJourns to Meet 4 Again
 In Washington >ept- 2S-
 CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.-Secretary Keliher of the American Railway union and Mayor Hopkins testified before the strike commission. After the hearing the com mission adjourned to meet in Washington on Sept 2S.
 Contrary to expectations, rebuttal testi- mony was heard by the commissioners. Tho railroads and labor unions introduced several witnesses, the first of whom was ;. C. Wade. an employee of tho legal de- pertinent of the Rock Island. His opin- ion was, he said, that much of the block ading of railroad tracks was the work of experienced railroad men. w. R. Mooney, Northern Pacific switchman of Blue Is land, said that Dcbs and Howard had not told the men to use thoir own judgment. He said he was discharged for alleged ac- tivity in the strike.
 Mayor Hopkins testified at some length regarding tho attitude of tho police during the strike He declared that they had done their duty at all times. He frankly acknowledged that he was in sympathy with the striking employees of tho Pull man company, as ho had been an em- ployee of that company and knew what the mon had to endure.
 Vice President Howard of the American Railway union was again called to the stand Mir. Howard denied that he had advised violence and declared that he had always counseled moderation and de- nounced lawlessness. Ills only remark of an inccndiary nature, he said, was the advice he had given tho men to use coup ling pins on A. P. A. representatives or any other similar class of people who might endeavor to stir up trouble in the union on a basis of differences in religion.

A~- ANa-AsA hNSNAh" tu, "OuIu ueSITON the bacilli which a-e the cause of con sumption without destroying the pa- tient. The consumption cure was effect i've in some cases, but it was useless in many others and is generally regarded as one of the failures of q most remark able man. Whether the diphtheria cure will share the same fate remains to be seen. New York physicians believe in its efficacy, and Dr. Cyrus Edson has asked the state board of health for an appropriation of $50, GOO to carry on ex- perimental work on the lines indicated by Dr. Koch.
 The great German bacteriologist was born in Clausthal, in the Harz moun- tains, Dec. II, 1S43. He was a pre- cocious student and was graduated from the University of Gottingen in 1866 and then became an assistant in the Ham, burg hospital From 1872 until 1880 he was medical inspector at Wattstein, where he began his bacterioscopic ex- aminations of infections and made such important discoveries that he was made member of the imperial board of health of Berlin. In 1882 he discovered the bacillus of tuberculosis and a year later led the German cholera expedition to Egypt and India, where ho discover ed that the cholera bacillus was tho real source of cholera poison.
 Upon his return to Germany in 1884 he was honored by donation of 100. . 900 marks and was the lion of the hour. The following year he was elected pro- lessor of the medical faculty of Berlin and director of the new hygienic insti- tute of the university. He has six brothers and two married sisters now living in the United States and Mexico. Dr. Koch's custom is to rise about Q o'clock and work until 9, when he en- joys ride. He then devotes four more hours to the study of bacili. In the evening he entertains his friends. Last year his wife procured divorce, and he was ordered to pay her one-fourth of his income. The doctor then married Q young actress.

DROWNED IN THE MAINTAIN
Ferdinand Schmidt Commits SuIcid
 While Temporarily Insane.

Ferdinand Schmidt Commits Suicide
 While Temporarily Insane.
 About half past five o'clock thIs morn- ing the crew on an early morning train in passing the Manhan canal noticed the almost nuda body of a man floating face downwards in the water. The body lay about one hundred yards from West Main street and twenty feet out from the rail- road banks. A telephone message was sent to the police station and Officers McNiff and Noonan went to the scene. They secured long pole and drew the body out of the water. It was found to be that of man about fifty years of age, dressed only in a wrapper and drawers.
 Medical Examiner Axtelle was notified and pronounced the case one of suicide The body, he said, had been in the water about six hours.
 About half past six this morning Henry Schmidt. who lives on the top floor of the Mccarthy block. 596 South Main street, went to the station and reported that his father had not been home during the night and he feared something had hap pened as he had been acting strangely of late. When informed of the finding of the body and the description, he said at once 1t was his father. Ferdinand Schmidt William A Goldsmith, a son-in-law of the man. identified the remains.
 Undertaken York took charge of the body and removed 1t to his late home. Search was made for the clothes. They were found near the scene of the drowning Ever since the death of two of hIs children about year ago Schmidt has acted irrationally. He left home last night about a quarter to nine to attend a meeting of Wadhams post, G. A. R of which he was a member. Inquiry this morning disclosed the fact that he did not go to the meeting. He was seen about 10 o'clock going out West Main street and later turned up the rail road track and that was the last seen of him alive. The supposition is that while temporary insane he doffed his clothes and jumped to his death.
 Schmidt was 5l years of age and lived with his wife and three children at 59C South Main street. He was an expert wood carver and was employed by w. N Hurlburt, for whom he worked yesterday He was we'll known in the city and was a member of the G. A. R. and Humboldt lodge, N. E. 0. P. The funeral will bt held Sunday afternoon. with services al the house and burial in Riverside ceme | tery.

WEAR ON OLD RECORDS

Geneology Investors Causing Serious
 Damage to all old Documents.
 Genealogy investors and autograph hunters. more than any other class of per sons. have reduced many of the old docu- ments kept in the shape of town records in Connecticut to a shabby, torn and sometimes almost illegible condition.
 In the case of many probate districts in rural communities. where the papers are left in neglected condition in some farmhouse or country store" such a re- suit might be anticipated-particula in those districts where the office goes the rounds of the several towns composing the district. instead of keeping it and it's docu. ments under one approved management and in one place.
 It might be anticipated. but sometimes it involves, no doubt, a serious loss. Such documents should be carefully kept In cities where town halls or halls of record exist. there is no excuse for bundlins these old documents into convenient or neg lected out of the way piles. Much. some times depends up, n their careful preserva tion.

THIEF AT CAMP BRADLEY.

Gold Watches stolen From the Gov
 ernor's Triangle.
 The Bridgeport and New London police are looking after A thief who stole two gold watches from tents in the governor s triangle at Camp Bradley on the night of governors day. One was stolen from Arthur Henblein of Hartford. The young man was staying with his uncle, Colonel Louis F. Heublein of Governor Morris staff. The other watch stolen was the property of the son of Commissary Gen eral William Jamieson of Middletown. who is also a member of the governor s staff.
 A colored waiter was arrested in Bridge port a few days ago and two watches were found upon him. He had been employed at the camp and was suspected of the theft as soon as the matter became known. It was learned that he had expressed a valise to New York and it was thought that the missing articles might be found in the valise. Word was sent to New York and an effort was made to trace 1t.
 There were many opportunities at the the camp for thief to operate. No extra precautions were taken among the gov. ernor's party. but some of the members had their own servants with them and re. lied upon them to look after their valu ables
