DEAD IN THE RIVER.
Unknown Man Tnken to the MOrgue
Today.

Unknown Man Taken to the Morgue
Today.
The dead body of an unknown white man
found floating in the river not far from
the south end of Analostan Island was
taken from the river this morning by the
members of the crew of the police boat Joe
Blackburn and removed to the morgue on
New Jersey avenue. where it will be held
a short time for Identification. Early this
me: ring a message was received at police
headquarters giving the information that
there wss body in the river, and the
police beat went up the river to recover
it. The officers found the body about a
mile above the Long bridge, near the rip
RAYS. Its condition indicated that it had
teen in the water several days at least.
The mans face and clothes were covered
with mud, making it apparent that the
body had been almost buried In the mud
probably in the shallow water.
At the morgue Superintendent Schoen-
berger removed some of the mud from the
terribly swollen face, in order that the
identification might not be prevented
should an acquaintance Of the dead man
call. He said he thought the deceased was
a young man and rather thick set, but be-
cause Of the swollen condition of the
body he had no idea as to just how young
he vas There was blue serge suit, white
SHIRT and four-in-hand tie, by which the
Identification may be made even after the
burial of the body. The hat was not found
A piece of tobacco was all that could be
found in the pockets and there was nothing
which would in any way lead to the iden-
tif1cation Of the body except by some one
who had known the man in life.
Superintendent Schoenberger did not dis
cover any evidence of violence about the
body, although he did not remove the cloth
ing. This will probably be done wnen Cor
oner Hammett makes an Investigation
The police have all idea that the man prob
ably fell overheard or jumped in the river
at some point along the river and his body
washed ashore, where it was found

Mr.. COFFIN DYING
The Life of the Wen-Known Car

A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER
Popular and Beloved by All Who
Know Him.
BRILLIANT TO THE LAST

Mr.. George Y. Coffin, the cartoonist of the
Washington Post, is dying at his apart
ments in the Garfield fats corner Of 18th
and I streets northwest, from complica-
ton Of disorders which are the elimination
Of long attack of locomotor ataxia. His
attending physicians, Drs. Swormstedt and
Mcdonald. have regarded his case as hope
less ever sihce Monday last, and at times
the end seemed a matter Of but a few mo-
ments; but the wonderful vitality of the
sufferer has kept him alive when existence
seemed little less than a miracle. This
morning he was apparently somewhat bet
ter. but this improvement was not sufh-
cient to give grounds for hope of his ulti
mate recovery. and the loving friends at
his bedside are sorrowfully awaiting the
end that must inevitably come soon.
Despite the desperate character Of his
illness and the complete bodily prostration
resulting from it, Mr.. Coffin retains his
mental faculties. and his wakeful moments
are devoted to tender solicitude for the
comfort of those who are with him. and
