MURDER NEAR BRUNSWICK,
A Colored Man Named Addison
Probably Foully Dealt With
Found Dead in a Culvert Near
Brunswick-Two Arrests on Sus-
picion-Jury of Inquest.

Says a Brunswick press dispatch of
Wednesday: CDR" Elijah Addison,
colored, whose home was at Stevens
City, Va, and who was peddler of
patent medicines, was murdered half
a mile from Brunswick last night on
the road leading FROM Brunswick to
Petersville, Frederick County. Some
people going to work this morning
discovered blood in the road, and fol-
lowing the trail to stone quarry near
by, found the body of Addison. He
had evidently been attacked with
stones and killed and the body dragged
to the quarry and thrown in. Several
large stones were on top of the corpse
The head was mutilated to such an
extent as to be almost beyond recogni-
ton. The supposed motive for the
crime was robbery, as nothing of value
was found on the body.
The sheriff and States attorney at
Frederick City were notified. Sheriff
Mcbride arrived here at noon. He at
once proceeded to investigate the case.
Justice of the Peace West summoned a
jury of inquest. Suspicion pointed TO
Gardner Piper and George Piper, liv-
ing west of Brunswick. Chief of Po-
lice A. HI. Splitter, of Brunswick, and
Deputy Sheriff E. Nelson went To their
home. They found Gardner Piper in
bed, and hanging on line outside of
the house some freshly washed clothes
belonging to him, on which there
were blood stains. His shoes also
showed blood stains on them. He was
arrested and taken before Justice West,
together with his brother George. They
were given preliminary hearing.
While the evidence was only circum-
slantial, it pointed strongly toward the
Pipers as being implicated in the af-
fair.
A pair of shoes which Gardner Piper
wore last night and on which are clots
of blood were taken to the place of the
murder, and they fitted exactly the
tracks at that point, and continued
across field to a fence, in getting over
which the person who wore the shoes
had slipped, leaving very plainly the
marks of two nails. The shoes of Piper
had two nails in them that fitted the
marks exactly. Part of the rail show
ing this was taken in charge by Sheriff
Mcbride.
The Pipers state that they were at
home all night, and account for the
blood on their clothes and shoes as
coming from a chicken which Gard
ner Piper says he killed last night aud
from the bleeding OF their noses.
The jury of inquest rendered YER
diet that Addison came to his death at
the hands of parties unknown, and
Justice West remanded the prisoner to
Jail at Frederick to await the action of
the grand jury.

John Tobin's famous comedy, "The
Honeymoon, is to be presented by
Margaret Mather and her company
next Monday night at the City Opera
House, and the indications ore that the
distinguished actress will be welcomed
by a large audience. The history of
"rhe Honeymoon" affords remark
able instance of the fact that actors and
managers are often the poorest judges
of that species of dramatic writing
which is destined to be effective in the
representation. Poor Tobin found it
impossible to persuade either actor or
manager to take this piece under his
protection, and produce it upon the
stage; and the disappointed author
died without knowing that he had
written of the most brilliant and sue
cessful acting comedies in the Eng
lish language. The Honeymoon was
not presented till the year succeeding
his death; and then its success was al
most unparalleled. The part of Juliana
has had many representatives who
have won merited celebrity in the
character. Miss Mather is one of these;
and it is doubtful if any other artist
has ever presented more spirited and
picturesque embodiment of the authors
work. 1t is to be presented here with
entirely new scenery and one of the
strongest companies on the road. AT
City Opera House, next Monday night.
