FOUND IN THE RIVER
CHASTITY SEQUEL TO A LAST YEARS
TRAGEDY
Bergenkrueger, Who Jumped
From the High Bridge Last OctO-
ber, Recovered Yesterday--FOund
In Different Places.

The ghastly sequel to the tragic end
of Jacob Amos and Henry Bergenkrue-
ger, the cigarmakers who jumped from
the high bridge together the afternoon
Of Saturday, Oct. 80 last, developed yes
terday afternoon, when, by peculiar
coincidence, both bodies were recovered
from the river within few hours.
The bodies Of the suicides were well
preserved after over four months sub
mersion in the cold water and had not
been mutilated as might have been eX-
pected by the terrific force with which
they struck the water after the fright
full plunge.
The body of Amos was recovered
near the fish hatchery shortly after 2
o'clock, and about 4 o'clock Bergen
krueger'S remains were found en-
tangled in a growth of willows lining
the shore just below the high bridge.
August Larson, a youth playing
about the river bank with several COM
panions, recovered Amos body. He
saw an object which he at first believed
to be the carcass of an animal, float
ing behind an ice foe, but upon closer
examination made out that the form
was that Of a human being. The lad
managed to reach the body with long
pole and drew it out Of the current,
though unable to get 1t ashore.
Coroner Nelson was notified, and,
after reaching the scene by means of
the street cars and a long, muddy
walk, succeeded in getting the body
ashore, though not until he had con-
structed a temporary pier of ice and
snow extending to the still water where
the body lay.
From the name on the clothing the
body was recognized as that of Amos,
and later, when removed to Dampier's
undertaking rooms, Charles Amos,
brother of the dead man, made the
Identification complete.
There was no coat or vest on the
body, showing that Amos was the man
who had Jumped from the bridge first,
as eye witnesses stated at the time
that the leader in the rash design was
in his shirt sleeves.
Bergenkruegers body was found by
Michael Connolly, a dweller on the up
per flats, caught in a growth Of small
trees, on the south shore of the river,
only a short distance below where the
suicide struck the water. 1t was fully
clad and was identified by the clothing.
The clothing was heavy with sand and
the features almost obscured with a
deep coating Of mud, showing that
Bergenkrueger's body had probably
been imbedded in the river bottom
from the force of the fall.
Connolly towed the body down to the
Robert street bridge, where it was
turned over to Coroner Nelson. The
remains were subsequently taken In

SOUTH IS LOYAL.
Fact Fully Demonstrated by War
Talk, Says Senator Proctor.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March 13.-Sen-
ator Proctor passed through Charlotte
this morning and took breakfast at the
eating house here. He talked freely
except on the subjects of Spain and
the probability Of war. He said that
the most gratifying thing he met with
on his trip was the splendid conduct
and spirit Of the Southern people, He
felt that it was worth the total cost Of
all preparation for war to demonstrate
what a sterling loyal spirit was cher
ished throughout the South as he had
seen it. He said he had gathered some
facts. but did not know just what bear
ing they might have on the present
situation. He would have to find out
the situation at home before he could
even judge fairly of the knowledge he
had gained on the trip.

WASHINGTON, March 13-The gov
ernment is perfecting it's plans to make
the movement of troops to the coast
defenses, orders for which were issued
by the war department Friday and
published at that time.
A conference was held here today by
representatives of the following roads
to arrange for the transportation Of
light artillerymen and their accoutre-
ments: The Atlantic Coast line, the
Southern railroad, the Seaboard Air
line and the Chesapeake & Ohio. 1t
was stated that companies of artillery
men, consisting of about sixty men
each, would be transferred from Fort
ress Monroe to the following points:
Fort Caswell, on the Cape Fear river,
Georgia; Tybee, near Savannah; Fort
Morgan, near Mobile, and Sheridan's

SPAIN EXPECTS HELP
OFFICIALS SAY SHE WOULD NOT BE
ALONE IN THE STRUGGLE
French Inclined to Side With Their
NeighbOr in Case Aid Is Needed
Ambassador White Denies the
Report of Alliance With Britain
and Japan.

MADRID, March 13.-The view held
In official circles is that Spain will not
provoke a war, because, if she did, she
would find herself isolated, but if
America gives the provocation Spain
will not be alone in the struggle.
The general opinion is that in the
event of war Spain will not need to at
tack American territory. 1t will suf-
flee her to pursue a war Of privateer-
ing. AS Americas commerce is seven
fold greater than Spain's, American in
terests would suffer most War would
be madness, benefiting neither nation,
and good sense, therefore, counsels
peace.
The Spanish torpedo squadron has
not left Cadiz.
PARIS. March 13.-The Temps says:
Spain does not deceive herself when
she counts upon the sympathies, at
least latent, of European governments,
but 1t would be a mistake for her to
expect any effectual support either
from Great Britain or the triple alli-
ance Before all she must rely on her
self.
LONDON, March 13.-The Sunday
Special publishes from its Berlin corre-
spondent an interview with United
States Ambassador White on the atti-
tude of the United States toward Spain
anu the CuDdll
Ambassador White, according to
this dispatch, declared the statement
that the United States had entered into
an alliance with England and Japan
absolutely without foundation.
THE United States" Mr.. White is
reported to have said, will never bind
herself by such an alliance. President
McKinley's administration cannot act
against the tradition which forbids all
such complications in Americas inter-
national relations. Least Of all will it
do for the sake Of American interests
IN the far East
1.-The fear of war with Spain must
not be taken too seriously. The $780,
OOO, 900 credit is no proof that the Unit
ed States intends going to war, since
the government had long demanded
such a credit for the purpose of harbor
defense. This, however, had been post
poned, owing to the niggardly policy
congress had hitherto pursued"
Characterizing as quite untrue the
statement that the United States had
placed large orders with Herr Krupp,
Mr. White is reported as adding:
America possesses ammunition of all
kinds and war material in the govern
ment factories sufficient for every
emergency"
The Daily Graphic editorially sug-
gests this morning that there is time
still remaining that can be utilized to
negotiate an agreement 10 re1er the
Maine matter to arbitration, to ascer-
tain the true facts" and to decide as
to the nature of the indemnity, if any
be due, to the United States.
England" says the Daily Graphic,
would sympathiZe with a war for the
liberation of Cuba, but If the United
States goes to war it must be in a
just cause and after every effort to
secure an honorable peace has been
exhausted"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Mail declares French support Of Spain
would not exceed platonic sympathy

PROCTOR HAS NO DOUBT.
Declares That the Explosion That
Wrecked the Maine Was From
the Outside.

Wrecked the Maine Was From
the Outside.
To a Post reporter Senator Proctor
said: Concerning the cause Of the
Maine disaster, feel free to say that
such information as I have obtained
indicates that the explosion was from
the outside. 1t does not show that the
Spanish government or any of It's Of
ficials in Havana were participants in
the crime. In the first place, I do not
think there were any mines in the har-
Dor. I have not the slightest knowl-
edge of what the decision Of the naval
court Of inquiry will be, or when it will
reach Washington. Such information
as I have is entirely of an unofficial
character"

The Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 10.-Pretty much all of yesterdays loss in values was re- trieved in to-day's stock market before the definite news was received from Washington that a protocol had been agreed upon between Secretary Day and M. Cambon for the negotiations of treaty of peace. But this WIS awall- ened the market into renewed activity after a period of comparative dullness and some recession in prices, and car ried it to the highest point of the day, holding it within small fraction of that point until the close. The early strength in the market was in spite of continued doubt whether the whole peace negotiations was not endangered by Spanish quibblng. The weakness of Spanish fours in Paris and London gave strong ground for such apprehen- sion. But recovery in the wheat market renewed takings of wheat for foreign account and especially St. Paul's statement of earnings for the first week in August were sufficient to induce shorts to cover. The St. Paul statement showed an increase in earn ings over the corresponding period of last year of $24,237 or the largest early August earnings in the history of the road with the exception of those for 1892, which they nearly approached. The statement is a significant indica- ton that there has been sufficient re- covery i'll the grain movement after the decline following the abnormal move ment caused by the Letter deal, to SUD- plement the large current movement of gneral merchandis bring the earnings back to last years high level. Natural ly the grangers lead in the days move ment, Burlington showing an extreme rise of 1-2 per cent, and St. Paul of ? per cent continued large demand for Peoples Gas also helped the morn- ing movement in the afternoons spurt prices were sustained by the very heavy demand for Atchison preferred and there was some realizing in the grangers under cover of this move ment. But the close was strong and pretty near the top at net gains gen orally of between 1 and 2 points Lend CTS of money were little more exact- ing regarding security to-day.
 Business in bonds was comparative ly light in the early part of the day but the demand increased and prices inn proved in the later dealings. Total sales $3,765000.
 Government bonds were unchanged in the bid prices.

 REGIMENTAL CAMP GROUNDS.

Preservation of These Historic Land
 marks to be Discussed Saturday.
 At the annual reunion of the Twenty fifth Connecticut, which will take place Saturday, at Grand Army hall Hart ford, one of the principal subjects to be considered will be the location of state monument on the old camp grounds in that city. General Thomas McManus, who is the president of the regimental association, is greatly inter- ested in the project. The idea is that the Twenty and Twenty regiments shall unite in putting up the monument, acting in this direction in the same way that the Fifth and Twen- tieth have done at Chattanooga. The one thousand dollar appropriation from the state in favor of each request for the erection of a monument could be used for joint monument. General McManus has invited leading members of the Twenty-second to meet with his command and thoroughly consider the idea. The gentlemen invited are ex- Mayor John G. Root, the life president of the Twenty-second and one of it's most influential members; Lieutenant Colonel Ellsworth N. Phelps of Wind sor and General Julius $. Gilman. It is proposed to place the monument south of what is now Bond street, and bor- dered on the west by Campf1eld avenue. The regiments that encamped on the grounds in question before leaving for the civil war were the Fifth, the Eighth. the Tenth, the Fourteenth, the Sixteenth, the Twenty-second and Twenty y-fifth.
 General MeManus has invited Cover nor Cooke, Mayor Miles B. Preston and General l.. A. Dickinson to be present at the dinner of the regiment, which will be given in Grand Army hall under the auspices of Robert O. Tyler Relief corps.

MERIDEN'S POPULATION.
Has Increased to 32,653 During the Past
 Year

Has Increased to 32, 653 During the Past
 Year.
 Meriden has increased little in pop ulation during the past year. The Mer- iden Record says concerning the figures in the citys new directory:
 'The twenty-fourth volume of the Meriden directory has been distributed by the Price, Lee & Co.,, publishers. There are 13,064 names in the directory and according to this the population of Meriden is 32,653. These figures are somewhat surprising to the average Meriden citizen when it was believed that for the past two years many fam- lilies had left the city. Meriden instead has been growing though a little. whether because of births or new resi- dents is hard to tell, but according to the directory it is fact. In the Meri- iden directory of 1897 there were F. .992 names. The number of names erased in compiling the 1898 book was 1, 1,164 but the number of names added is l. .233 This is 69 more names in the directory than in 1897, equivalent to 173 new in- habitants.
 '.The number of changes in location recorded in the directory are 1886, thus it can be seen that many people chang ed their address during the year. In the matter of population Meriden is more fortunate than her northern neighbor, New Britain, who has lost 2Ss names out of the book during the past year. But they are eonsoling them selves with the idea that it is not cer- m Ia nif if1ri ip in population, claiming that a large number of the Polish names are not in its directory. New Britains population is rated at 26, ,1SS according to the di- rectory."
