A CHASTITY FIND.
Body OF Henry w. Grimes Discovered
Hanging From a Tree.

The body of Henry waring Grimes. n
Prince Georges county farmer. was found
hanging from a tree on his farm adjoin-
ing Nottingham. Nd, last Saturday. and
1t is supposed that he committed suicide.
Grimes disappeared about a week ago. but
as he was in the habit of going away for
days at a time his tenants. with whom
he lived thought nothing of the occur
renee. Saturday the CHASTITY discovery was
made by man who was at work repairing
fence. TIE body was badly decomposed.
and had 1t not been that the knees rested
upon the ground the head would have been
severed from the trunk.
The deceased was well known in Prince
Georges county and among market men
of this city. He was sixty-three years OF
age and a widower. His wife. who died
several years after their marriage was a
Miss Beall. sister of ex-Sherin II. Wesley
Beall Of Prince Georges county.
Grimes owned a large farm on the Pa
tuxent river in addition to his other hold
ings. but spent most of his time at his
Nottingham place. No cause is ascribed
for the rash act and it is believed by many
that he was temporarily insane.

Shoppers md Lovers Benefited by
Cheap Excursion Rates.
There have been many signs of returning
prosperity noticeable of late in the vicinity
Of Washington. The encouraging indica-
lions have been particularly plain along
the line of the Washington and Ohio divis-
ion of the Southern railway. This road Las
been conducting a series of cheap excur-
sions to Washington. and at one point at
least, the station agent was compelled to
discontinue business, being unable to meet
the demands of the big crowd that sought
tickets.
The chief aim Of the country folks in
visiting this city Is to look after their fall
and winter shopping. Naturally, the in
cursion of SO many non-residents has been
Of benefit to the local merchants and bust
hess men.
Included in the throngs have been quite
a sprinkling of young people, who took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to secure q
marriage license at the cheap rate In force
here of one dollar each, and to spend their
honeymoon at the national capital.

For Stealing Harness.

Chief OF Police Steele came down
from Topeka Thursday and in COM
pany with Sheriff Heskett drove to
SedgwiCk county, near Millerton, aud
arrested Jim Trimble, son of VIM.
Trimble, on the charge of stealing
harness. He was brought to this city
that night and next morning taken to
Topeka by Chief Steele.
Trimble is charged with stealing
the harness from the barn Of a To-
peka citizen about six weeks ago. The
officers had been on his trail since the
theft was committed. Recently the
police learned that he was some
where in this county, presumably in
the vicinity of his old home at Miller
ton. They found him Thursday
working with a threshing outfit just
across the county line. The harness
were recovered and shipped to Topeka
Friday morning.
Trimble denies all knowledge of the
theft. He is newly married man
apparently about 80 years of age. He
bears fairly good reputation around
MillertOn, where he formerly lived
with his parents. The harness were
found Thursday by Sheriff Heskett in
barn on farm formerly owned by
Trimble'S father. The officers we're
searching the premises for evidence
of young Trimble's presence when
the sheriff noticed peculiar looking
set OF harness. They were unlike the
harness used in this part of the coun-
try and the conclusion was very read.
lily reached that they were the stolen
article. Trimble's father was asked
concerning his sons whereabouts, but
he denied all knowledge of him. The
young man was located soon after
with a travelling threshing machine
outfit few miles north of iillertOn.
