The mud bath is hot, black, Shiny
combination of peat moss brought
from Francisbad, mixed with sprudel
water into sort of gigantic elongat-

the plain heated water from the
Sprudel spring.
After the bath rest in bed for an

HE'S ALL RIGHT.
Clinton Harris Writes to His Mother
That He is All Right and WEAR
ing Long Pants.

The vanished brother of DIR. William
+. Harris, OF this city, Clinton Harris,
knows where he is but his family does
not, though they know that he knows.
The reason for this remarkable state of
affairs is that his mother received typi-
cal boyish letter from her son giving her
the information that he was 1000 miles
from her at the time of writing, that he
was wearing long trousers and getting
lots to eat, also that he might see her
soon. With boyish negligence he did
not write the name of his stopping place
and as the post mark was blurred, the
exact location of this adventurous young
ster is still a mystery. Harris left his
home in Lynchburg, Va, on November
20, and though heard from on November
29th, at Cincinnati, all trace of him van
ished at that point. The letter was a
great relief to his mother. who was near

IT IS NOT UHSE.
The Unknown Man Found in the
Christiana is Not the Missing
Saloon Keeper.

About an hour after the finding of the
body of John f. Steele in the South long
race, body was found floating in the
Christiana river near the W. & N. bridge.
The body was that of a white man about
35 years of age, and had evidently been
in the water for a long time. On ac-
count OF its condition the body was sent
to the almshouse by Deputy Coroner
Chandler, where it will remain until
claimed by relatives or friends, Or dis
posed of by the coroner. The unfortunate
man was about ) feet 5 inches tall;
had smooth face with the ex-
ception of stubby moustache.
and was well dressed. Yhe clothing was
searched but nothing by which the body
could be identified could be found save
small pass book in which were some
carpenters memoranda. From the data
which was found in the book it is sup
posed that the man had recently resided
in Philadelphia. There was SO far as
could be ascertained no indications of
foul play as no marks of violence could
be found on the body. 1t is supposed
that he either fell overheard or COM
mitted suicide. When the clothing was
searched $6 was found in the pockets. In
the book were several memorandas,
"Lumber for Benny Shea" and also
"Carrie Nicol," the latter in child's
handwriting occurring in several places.
Some marks which looked like a record
of some sash measurement were also
found, and q tag bearing the name of
"W. H. Miller, milk dealer, No. s8l
North Forty-sixth street, Philadelphia.
The clues thus obtained may be useful
to the coroner, who will make an inves-
tigation.
The post mortem examination which
was held yesterday afternoon revealed
nothing new, and verdict Of death by
drowning was given.
Dtputy SololleI SllIAulel Will Hoiu al
inquest tomorrow. The rumor that the
body was that of the missing Waldo
Uhse, proved to be untrue, as several
persons who have seen the body say posi-
lively that it is not Uhse.
At Uhse's home the same ignorance as
to his whereabouts still exists.
Late last night report was received
that the body had been identified as that
of James r. Cummings, the well-known
Market street photographer. Subsequent
investigation, however, developed the
| fact that he had returned from a business
trip to Smyrna on the evening train, and
was then in his room, and according to
his wife Every well, thank YOU"

JOHN f. STEELE DEAD.
An Ex.SailOr Drowned in Three Feet
of Water---Steel Was not the
Victia of Foul Play.

About o'clock yesterday morning
Frank Wilson found the lifeless body OF
JohniE. Steele floating in the South race
near the place where the body of Mrs.
stan1Sy Tuchton was found. Wilson
immd aiately notified Levi Dale, the
color4d watchman at the city pumping
station, and he with several other work
men from the works, went to the scene.
The body was taken from the water, and
made fast to the trcstlc work of the foot
bridge at that point. Sergeant Of Police
Black took charge of the body until the
arrival of the coroner, who had been
summoned. The body was removed to
the norgue, where it was identified as
that Of Steele by John W. Mitchell, OF
No. 40l East Seventh street, a brother
inlay of the deceased.
Mr.: Steele was 40 years of age and un-
married. He was native of Maryland
and had for many years been captain OF
tug boat on the Delaware river Just
how Steele came to be in the race is not
known, but the supposition is that he
was wandering around under the inf1u-
ence of liquor and fell into the water.
Steele had been drinking heavily of late,
and on Tuesday afternoon was in Second
Street Market importuning several OF his
friends for money, and on being refused,
said to Richard S. Lowell, "You will not
refuse again. l shall not bother you
again"
Later he was seen on Market street be-
tween Front and Second very much intox-
icated, He had peculiar habit of taking
long walks into the country when under
the influence of liquor, and it is supposed
that he wandered down to the park and
fell overheard.
J. Polk Steele, brother of the de-
ceased, arrived yesterday afternoon from
Delaware City to take charge of the body.
An autopsy was held yesterday after
noon and it was decided that the de-
ceased came to his death by drowning.
An inquest will be held tomorrow.

The occasion of the visit was the

TRYING 70 BREAK Old SPAIN
Shoals Of Detectives Visit Will
mington.
LOOKING FOR FILIBuSTERS
Drawing Expense Bills and Salaries
And Making Another War
Loan NeccSsary--.A
Good Thing.

Some three days ago sudden invasion
Of detectives Of all the best known brands
including both the Pinkcrton and Camp
varieties, startled the knowing ones OF
this town. and conjecture was piled upon
conjecture to know what it all meant.
The visit was simultaneous with the ar
rival of Gonzalo de Quesada, counsel to
the Cuban legation at Washington, and
with nothing else in particular. The in
ference was at once drawn that some one
had filibustering expedition up his
sleeve, ready to spring it, as soon as it
conveniently might be sprung. Some
times it takes considerable manoeuvering
to spring tilbusterine expedition. This
one has not been sprung yet.
As Mr.. Quesada was the guest here Of
Ralph de Soto, the local member OF the
Cuban Junta, and as he is, moreover, a
very peaceablc, quiet and innocent gen.
tleman, the necessity for following him
with whole basketful of detectives was
not apparent. Everybody rushed to the
Christiana to look for boatload OF
machetes, carbines, pickaxes and other
munitions Of war, while every drop OF
water was carefully scanned to see
whether or not a Cuban sympathizer was
Iurhing in it. Meanwhile, the detectives,
having nothing much to detect, went to
detecting one another to the infinite
amusement of all hands concerned.
Among those who arrived in town
among the school of spies and detectives,
was woman formerly well known in
Wilmington, who is now presumably in
the enjoyment of the Counties lavlshed
by the Spanish legation at Washington.
She was elegantly attired and studded
with jewels, real or imitation. Just
what her function in the wonderful plot
is. can ouly be conjectured.
As to the males who composed this
motley crew, they came, wandered COM
pared notes, looked wondrous wise and
probably made long winded reports to
Scnor Dupuy de LONE OF their investiga-
tions and finds. As, moreover, they are all
drawing fat allowances and expense ac-
counts the Spanish Ministerial Washing
ton is likclyto want to float another loan
before long The Madrid government Of
course, has to pay all these bills, and as
Wilmington is only one Of Il dozen or
more ports which are subjected to these
visitations, the cost OF the business may
be conjcctulrd.
| Ralph dc Soto said there was no re:l-
son on earth why the detectives should
have come here, SO far as he knew.
But, he added, they were bound to
make some sort Of showing every now
and again and he rather fancied they
were merely here to give themselves a
pptext for drawing their pay.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Walter Walton Nearly Loses His Life
BY Being Whirled Around Shaft.

WfItcr Walton a 14-year-old lad en-
ployed in the Delaware Hard Fibre
Works, had a narrow escape from dupli-
eating the horrible experience OF John
Kane, the workman who was fatally in
jurrd at the Diamond State Iron Works
on Monday. On Tuesday afternoon
young Walton was caught in a rapidly
revolving shaft and his clothing torn
completely from his body. lie is en-
ploycd as helper in the factory and his
duties make it necessary for him to work
near the huge rolls used for comprising
the fibre. The power for the machine is
supplied by means of a shaft which is
mounted about eighteen inches above
the floor upon iron standards. During n
pause in the work while the man who
operated the machine was absent, Wal
ton sat down on the upright in danger
ous proximity to the shaft. One of the
workmen noticing the boys dangerous
position cautioned him about it but be-
fore the boy could rise his clothing was
caught by projection upon the shaft
and he was whirled around the shaft.
The workmen ran to his assistance but
before the machine could be stopped the
clothing had been torn from his body as
though made of paper. An instant later
and the boy would have been caught in
the machinery and crushed. DR.. J. Paul
Lukens was summoned and made an ex-
animation. By some miraculous chance
the boy had escaped without broken

HOT TINE IN Old TOWN
Colored Masquerade Ends in a
General Scrimmage.
Mr.. JONES WAS TOO CHARMING
Two COlOrcd DanlSels Got Into Il Row
Concerning Him and the
Consequences Were
Dreadful.
Mr.. JONES WAS TOO CHARMING

There was Il lively colored masquerade
ball at Bavarian Hall, corner Of Fifth and
du Pont streets, last night, given for the
benefit of the Colorcd Baptist Mission at
Eighth and Scott streets. Everything
was quiet as Il 'possum hunt till l2l5
o'clock this morning, when the "rezal'
contingent broke loose, and things got
gloriously mixed in a jiffy.
Miss johnson, Miss Miles, Miss Per-
kins, Sarah Ann Jimpson, Toothpick
Jones, Stcmwinder Sam, Stringheel jim,
Snowfall Harris, and some few others of
the colored 4-ll-44OO had just gotten in
place for hoe-down. There was good
strong line of conversation going on
in the ballroom and Il few
glasses were chinking in the
bar. Miss johnson and Miss Harris
were in the middle of the floor, where
Toothpick Jones had taken up his
position, waiting for some partner to
come and help him dance, and he had
about expected Miss Harris to do it. So
had Miss Harris.
Miss johnson had views Of her own on
the subject, however, and when she saw
Miss Harris approach Toothpick, her
passions arose in one wild, mighty
wave and overcame her reason.
Suddenly snatching penknife from
her pocket she made break
for Mr.. Jones. That gentleman did not
wait for further orders. He just simply
jumped thirteen feet at bound and fled
from the room.
Within an excited crowd gathered
about the two admirers of Jones, and
language not necessarily fit to print,
flew all over the place. Miss Harris OBJ
served that Miss johnson was black
something that sounded like witch, but
wasn't. Miss johnson rctortcd that Miss
Harris was Il yellow ditto, and
Miss johnson made Il lungc at Miss
Harris with Il knife. Miss Harris drew
a revolver. but before she could use 1t
a storm Of beer glasses broke over the
place, put out every light, knocked haIl
Il dozen persons down, and all was ''r-
moj and confusion Miss Harris, Miss
Johnson and Stcnwindcr sam became
tangled in the furious rush for the door,
and as both women stepped on stem
windcrs face, some OF his features are
now out of plumb. Both the women
who started the row lost important artl-
cles of wearing apparel, and presented Il
somewhat peculiar appearance as they
sped homcward in the tlickcring moon-
light.
The original Mr.. Jones over whom the
whole disturbance was started, lost moth
ing but his hat and has not been seen
since. All hands rushed through the
saloon toward Scott street, breaking
half the furniture in it. The row lasted
only IL few minutes but in the language
of du Pont street it was mighty warm.
