Elkton, Nd, Jan. 8 AT Chesapeake
City, on the line of the Delaware &
Chesapeake canal, this afternoon, the
dead body of Capt. Thomas Cant,
owner of the schooner Manaway, was
discovered floating in Back creek, face
downward, with his skull crushed.
The body was brought ashore and an
investigation started by the local
authorities.
The schooner Manaway has been lying
at the dry dock of Edwin Deibert for
two weeks. Near the boat was dis
covered large pool of blood, which
was traced along the shore for some
distance. A 10-pound sledge-hammer
was found in the engine.room of Del
bert's dry dock. covered with blood.
An empty pocletbook was found six
feet from where the body was dis
covered.
Magistrate Vandegrift summoned a
jury Of inquest, with William b. Cole
man as foreman, and State Attorney
Austin S. Crothers went to the scene
of the occurrence this evening. 1t is
evident that the deceased was muir
dered, and ii is supposed the motive
was robbery, as Capt. Can't was known
always to have considerable money
about him. He was alone, his son
Frank having gone home several days
ago. He was last seen alive at 5 O'Clock
last night. The perpetrators of the
crimo forced open the door of the
engine room of the dry dock, where
the schooner was undergoing repairs,
and after killing Can't washed the
hammer and returned it to its place.
After Can't was killed his body was
dragged considerable distance along
the shore and then thrown overheard
to make it appear that he had been
drowned.
DIR. William @. Kersner of Chesa-
peake City held a post-mortem ex-
animation and found that he had six
large wounds upon the right side of the
head, three of which fractured the
skull, and any one of which would have
produced death. Tho doctor said the
wounds were inflicted by blunt in
strument.
Capt. Can't resided at Gashen, Salem
county, N. j.. where his wife and son
live. He had been visiting Chesapeake
City for the past three years and was
we'll known and highly respected by
the citizens. He was about 30 years
OF age and WAS sober and industrious
man. The authorities are at work on
the case and will use every effort ia
bring about the arrest and conviction
of the murderer There is not the
slightest clue at this time to the iden-
tity of the perpetrator, but the crime
is thought to have been committed by
some one who is familiar with Capt.
Can't and his surroundings.
HELD FOR TIE MURDER.
Ellston, Md, Jan. Cd. Harry
Truss, about 36 years of age, was ar
rested by the authorities tonight in
ChesapeakeCity for the murder of Capt.
Thomas Camp, of the schooner Mana
way, on Thursday evening last. Truss
served on the coroner's jury. He has
always borne a good reputation as far as
can be learned, He was brought to Elk
ton Jail at 10. 30 o. clock last night. just
what evidence he was arrested on can
not be learned.

TRAGEDY IN CHESTER COUNTY.
An Outraged Husband Finds Stranger
With Hts Wife.


West Chester, Pa, Jan. 3.-John B.
Mcclure shot and perhaps mortally
wounded William Barnes here last
night. Returning home unexpectedly,
Mcclure found the man, who was a
stranger to him, with his wife, and fol-
lowing him into the yard, he shot the
offender as he crouched in the shadow
Of the house. There are now three
murderers in the Chester county Jail,
and the shooting last night is tho
fourth tragedy to occur within few
weeks.
Mcclure is tailor, whose shop is on
Market street, while his home is on
Chestnut street, near the edge of the
town. His wife is an unattractive.
looking woman. They have IA number
of children. William Barnes, tho in
jured man, who is miller by trade, is
almost So years Of age and the father
of family of grown-up children. He
has been looked upon as an upright
man, and no suspicion has ever been
held that he led double life.
, Mcclure returned home last evening
from his shop earlier than expected.
AS he entered the house he heard the
back door close, and that with his
wife's agitation, made him suspicious
He rushed from the house and saw u
man crouching in the shadow OF the
alley. He ran up to him, and while
the muzzlo of the revolver was not two
feet a way from him, pulled the trigger.
With groan the man straightened up
and staggered out the alley. Mcclure
cody went back into the house and
sat down, and later made no effort
10 elude arrest.
Barnes walked mile to the office of
DIR. S. A. Mullin, whom he told that
he had been shot. The bullet had en-
tered the right SIDE and tho doctor con
cluded it had lodged in the lung.
Mcclure on his way to prison said {:
II knew my wife was unfaithful to
me. l determined to kill the first man
| found there do not know Barnes,
and had no idea he and my wife were
intimate. When ] saw him crouching
in the alley thought it was man
who once boarded with us. My wife
oloped with him, but l took her back
on account OF the children. "
