INAPooL OF BLOOD
Was Found the Body of Max Eglau Bru-
tally Murdered.

New York, February 10.-The dead
body of Max Eglau, an artist, 66 years
old, was found on the fourth floor of the
deaf and dumb institute at 18th street
and Lexington avenue shortly before 2
this afternoon. The body was covered
with blood, which flowed from a half a
dozen wounds on his head and an ugly
cut on his face Near the body lay an
iron shovel, blood stained. 1t is probable
that the mars life was beaten out by
this weapon in the hands of an unknown
assailant.
Mr.. Eglau resided at st. Marks place,
and had room in the institute where
he gave deaf mutes painting and draw
ing lessons. He arrived ut the insitu-
ton at noon today and went to the
studio on the fourth floor. He was not
seen again until he was found dead by
Superintendent Green of the institution,
who passed through the artist S room to
reach the store room.
Eglau's body was stretched across the
floor, the head resting in a large pool Of
blood. The room was in great disorder
taken place. The police were notified
and SO far they have not been successful
in apprehending the murderer. A gold
wacoh and chain. four bank books and a
little money were found in the mans
pocket, which indicated that he was not
murdered for money. The police are
working on the theory that the artist
was murdered by one of the deaf mutes
in the institution.

A Total Loss.

Newburyport. Mass, February 1O.-The
schooner Fkrida, wrecked on Salisbury
beach, has gone to pieces and only the
ends of her timbers can be seen above
the waves. The masts were carried away
early this morning and there is no doubt
that the entire crew of eight men were
drowned. The name of the eighth man
was John S. Heilson, Swede. Two
more bodies washed ashore this morning.
but the men are not known. They are
terribly bruised. This makes three bodies
recovered. The Others will doubtless come
ashore soon. A patrol has been estab-
lished to watch for them. There is no
definite information as yet as to where
the vessel was loaded or was bound !.
Schooner ALBANIA, before reported on
morning, two bodies, those of Captain
MoLanson and sailor John Reed were
washed ashore. The four rescued men are
still at the hotel and will be sent to Bos-
ton. Wreokage from tho schooner is niled

Then the new horse started rapid run
up Federal street and kept its course in

1t happened that that bee line pointed
straight at the long, narrow window in
Ulmer's cutlery store chat is on the
right hand side of the door and at right
angles to it.
Straight into that window the terrified
horse plunged. 1t is only two feet wide,
but the horse went through, tramping
frantically upon the valuable articles
of cutlery inside the window and pull
Ing itself through until it was entirely
inside the store.
In its struggles, it planted it's hoofs
upon the ledge just beneath the shelves
on the wall back of the show case and
smashed that ledge. Then it turned and
came down with it's fore feet upon the
end of the show case and smashed that
all to pieces. When it finally stopped
its fore feet were down on the floor be-
tween the end of the show case and the
raised platform in side the window and
its hind quarters were upon that plat
form.
There are four large panes in the front
window. One of the upper ones was
broken, showing that tho horse must
have kicked up there or some article of
cutlery have been thrown mp there by it's

were not broken is no less remarkable,
than that the horse could get in there at
all. No one was in the front store at the
time. Mr.. Charles Ulnier was in the
back store and of course heard the crash
ing of glass that was something terrific.
just short time before he had taken a
valuable box of cutlery from that WILL
dow, having recently sold it. Nearly
everything in the window was ruined.
The horse was not cut into mincemeat
or laceratod beyond repair, as might be
supposed, After its wrestles with win
dows, show cases and all manner OF
knives and forks and other sharp instru-
ments, but except for II few outs that
bled a little it will be all right.
After caring for his horse Mr.. Moulton
came to Mr.. Ulmer and made frank
statement that it was his horse and after
Mr.. Ulmer had paid the damages he
would SETTLE the bills. He hoped Mr.
Ulmer would be as easy on him as he
could and Mr.. Ulmer said that he would
be. most assursdly.
This horse was of course removed from
the store through the door.
The damages were roughly estimated
at 5000, but it was scene of ruin, it
ever there was one, and it was very diff
cult to tell how much loss they will fig
ure up.

"HEALER" IN CHAIN GANG
Schlaatcr the Famous Natural Physician
Arrested for Vagrancy.

San Bernardino, CAL, February O.
Schlatter, the Healer" the lowly
Denver cobbler who cured the lame, halt
and blind of their ailments, who was
daily beseiged by thousands of suffering
mortals anxious to secure release OF their
ills, and who, several months ago, mys-
teriously disappeared from Mountain
town, N. M is an inmate of the san
Bernardino Jail and member OF the
local chain gang.
The man who is declared to be none
other than this performer of miracles was
picked up in Redlands yesterday morn
ing by constable who arrested him for
vagrancy. When brou ght before the
Justice and asked his name, he answered ;
"Call me Elijah,'' and since that reply
was given, he answers all questions as to
his identity with sorrowful glance ana
will not speak of himself.
He was brought to this city Friday
night, lodged in jail in cell full OF
tram s and Migrants, and this morning
was one OF the first in the chain gang
which marched from the jail to the stock.
ade.
The instant he appeared on the str eet a
score of people were struck with the re-
semblanco to the published pictures OF
Schlatter. His features are of German
mould and his complexion is quite fair,
except that it shows the effect of expos
ure his beard is not thick, but is worn
in the style which is shown in the old
masters pictures of Christ, while his
heavy growth of nut-brown hair flows to
| his shoulders matted and unkempt.
| II do penance, - said he to Governor
Hooking at the rock pile, yesterday
morning, when the scene of operations
| had been reached, and, selling a ham
mer, he separated himself from the other
prisoners and worked like man whose
! life depended upon the amount he accom-
plished. Not word would he utter ex-
cept when spoken to by the overseer, to
whom he was obedient. Ali day long
| the coarse jests of the other mem bers of
the gang did not bring from him the
| least remonstrance.
| During the day the overseer became in
terested in the man. and, remembering
| that Sohlatter had been seen riding on q
white mule, asked him what had become
of the auimal, to which the stran ger re-
piled that he had lost it in the desert,
near Yuma.
"And where are you going from here?o
asked the overseer.
81 know not. !" replied the man. "Per-
haps to the South, perhaps to the West
whichever way may be called.'
At 3 O'Clock the prisoners We're brought
back from the rock pile to Jail, and as
soon as they arrived Schlaater retired to
u cot in his cell, while the othesr were
allowed the freedom of the corridors. he
kept as far away from them as possible
and seemed to DO lost in meditation.
! When correspondent called at the jail
to sac him today the jailer went to the
door of the cell and was compelled to
call several times before the man would
leave his cot.
To all questions his only answer was a
look from face that was troubled and a
glance that seemed full of sorrowful
meaning. He could not be induced to
speak and slipped back to his cot in the
darkness.
An effort will be made tomorrow to gel
the prisoner to write to the sheriff asking

CESS, mem Der of Oleveland's piokaninny
band, was drowned here yesterday
noon, while skating on the river. a little
below the Gardiner and Randolph bridge
About 10 O'Clock, young Burgess with
several fellow members of the piokaninny
band were skating on the river. Burgess
was moving at considerable speed ovel
the ice and was on the west shore of the
river, where the currents is very strong.
The last warm weather had opened this,
and only about an inch of ice had made
during the past few days.
While the boys we're skating from place
to place on the Ice, Burgess and George
Shelton went under, Burgess's band car
remaining on the edge of the ice. Shell
ton struggling in the water, was rescued
by means of piece Of board in the hands
of HIATT Horsley.
Efforts were made to rescue Burgess,
but he went under the ice, and probably
was carried long distance by the swift
current.
The news of the accident was at once
conveyed to the company at the johnson
house, and all the members fiocked in
haste to the scene of the sad occurrence
Among the number was the brother of
the drowned boy, Theodore, handsome
mulatto. whose grief was I'm controllable.
City Marshal Drake was shortly on the
scene and sent for Deputy Marshal
Sprague who is most familiar with the
currents. They thought it best to drag
the river for about one hundred yards,
but were unable to find the body. Dyna-
mite was used without any better result.
There is little possibility of the body be-
ing recovered until the ice breaks up.
At the headquarters of the troupe al
the johnson house, there is perceptible
gloom. Sad ara the countenances of his
companions, among whom he was great
kfayorite. He was the youngest, being bui
eleven years of age, Of the Fickaninny
band, as we'll as the smallest. He played
solo horn in the band. He was very
bright chap, being able to talk three
languages very fieuntly. Mr.. CLEVELAND
and the members of the company have
made every possible effort to recover this
body and will not stop their work unit
the case is given up as hopeless.
