MURDER ON 1 SCHOONER
Steamer Sues GhastIy Find Near
Lower Cedar Point.
CAPTAIN HAD BEEN KILLED
Body Found Lying on the Deck of the
Boat Which Was Drifting About
Two COIored. Boys on Board Told
of the assassination by Negro
Sailor Who Escaped.

Capt Geoghegan, of the steamer Sue
! plying between Washington and river
landings along tue lower Potomac, re
] ported a gruespne find to the police c
the Fourth precinct yesterday.
While on his way up the river yesterday
| afternoon lie noticed two-masted
schooner drifting about in an apparent,
| aimless fashion q short distance from
| Lower Cedar Point. Going over to bel
| he was hailed BY two little colored boys
| who begged him to send some one or
board and get them off. @
Capt. Geoghegan aud several of his
crew bearded tue schooner. aud the first
object that met their gaze was the bod y
| OF the captain of the vessel lying stretched
| out on the deck, dead. His face was up
utrned to the blazing sun, and he had
evidently been there several hours.
One OF the boys told remarkable story
to Capt. Geoghegan. He said that about
9 O'Clock the previous evening he and his
companion were standing on deck. a short
distance from the captain, who was walk
ing up and down.
The only hand ON the vessel besides them
was a burly negro, whose name they could
not tell.
\ suddenly they saw his head emerge from
the stairway. and stealing softly up bel, ind
the captain, he dealt him a blow ON the
head with a heavy stick of wood, Telling
him TO the deck ipsensIble.,-i ati,4 g.
A few more blows completed the job. and
the miscreant, after going below and help
ing himself TO the contents of the cabin,
jumped into a yawl boat and disappeared
inthe darkness Jnn
The boys who were SO overcome by terro-
that they could make no outcry, drifte.,
about on the river for the rest of the night
and nearly all day until they saw the
steamer Sue
Capt. Geoghegan attempted TO tow the
schooner to this city, but found that she
was either scuttled or had sprung leak
SO badly that she could not travel He
accordingly towed her a short distance up
the river and beached her off Riverside.
There he notified the townspeople and the
sheriff was sent for. The body of the
captain was taken ashore and cared for,
and the two boys were also detained as wit
nesses. Both declared their ability to com
pletely identify the negro If he is ap
pretended
The schooner was the John A. H. Dixon,
hailing from Annapolis, Nd, and loaded
with lumber, but it could not be ascer-
tained to whom the cargo was consigned.
The Annapolis authorities Will be COM
municated with and the identity of the
captain established in that way.
There Observation-Disclosures among
the people along the shore of the lower
Potomac who saw the body and heard the
particulars. and 1t is thought that should
the negro be caught soon he will be
severely dealt with.
