is not known what caused death. The
remains have been removed to the
Morgue to await the inquest.
The remains were discovered by Her
man Alweis and Lottie Piper, man and
maid servant, respectively, of the
young man, who occupied a suite of
apartments on the fifth floor of the
fashionable West End Hotel. From it's
condition the body must have been in
the tub for some time. The hotel peo-
pie were Immediately notified and the
Coroner took charge of the remains for
the purpose of learning the cause of
death
The Countess Of Dunmore, who is
stopping with friends in the city, is an
aunt of the dead man. She was noti-
fed of his death. but as her where
abouts are kept a secret, nothing has
been learned from her concerning Mr..
Strut. She attended the Yelled
Prophets ball last night.
Deceased came to this city August
10Th and took apartments at the hotel
where he died. He was apparently on
a pleasure and sightseeing tour, and
not very much was known about him.
Lord Bel2er is a brother of the
Countess Of Dunmore. A prominent
citizen with whom deceased died re-
Gently is of the opinion that Mr.. Strut
died Of heart disease. The young man,
he said, was travelling for his health
and he thinks the shock received in
taking a cold bath had a fatal effect.
DR.. John W. Vaughn, who was called
to view the remains, found them swoll-
en- and the features distorted, but moth
ing was discovered to indicate that
death came by other than natural
causes.
The Countess of Dunmore, who is q
daughter of the Earl of Leicester, was
found at the home of Mrs. Hyman
Clark, 4422 West Morgan street, where
she is a guest with Lady Dunmore
and the latters two daughters, Victoria
and Mildred. She was much shocked
over the sad news, and stated positive
ly that the young man could not have
committed suicide. He was subject to
fainting spells, she said, and it was
with one of these, she thinks, he was
attacked in the water, causing him to
sink under and drown.
Countess Dunmore said that Lord
Belper had been notified by cable of
the death, and would start for this
country Immediately. She said her
party would start for England October
Goth, and would take the remains
with them.
The autopsy revealed the fact that
Mr.. Struts lungs were full of water,
and that he was drowned in the bath
tub. Nothing was shown to indicate
that he had taken his life.

STORM IN SOUTHERN STATES.
Probable That At Least Hundred
Lives Were Lost.

SAVANNAH (Ga), Oct. 3. - News
from the storm stricken districts along
the coast is being gradually received
and it is proba Bile that a hundred lives
have been lost News by way of a
boat which arrived to-day is that fifty
people were drowned at Fernandina.
From Campbell Island, inhabited by
about forty colored people, it is re-
ported that all but three We're drowned.
At Brunswick four people lost their
lives, and at Jessup one man was killed
by falling building At Sterling Sta
ton, Charles Wright, a merchant, re-
ports the disasters from the flood great
to lives and property in the rice fields
and portion of Glynn and Mcintosh.
There are a number of small islands
at various points around Brunswick,
Fernandina and Darien, on which, small
groups of families lived. 1t will be
some days before accurate reports are
heard from these points. At Darien
the water is reported high and the
towns buildings damaged. There are
many rumors of loss of life but all of
the reports thus far received are be-
lieved to be exaggerated. Many of
those who bring news left the scene of
the storm during its hight, and conse-
quently cannot be expected to give ac-
curate information.
The damage by wind and rain is
enormous. The damage to shipping is
also enormous. Near Darien the
schooner Blanche Hopkins collided
with the small schooner Minnie and
sunk her. The Minnie had on board
5000 pounds of dynamite. At Fernan-
dina the tug Gladiator is said to have
landed in the midst of the town. Mrs.
Lucy D. Carnegie's magnificent yacht
Dungeness is badly damaged. The
Cumberland Island pilot boat Maude
was landed high on bluff in Fair
banks yard. The schooner Eda and
Emma with a cargo of coal is on the
shore of Jekyl Island near Charleston.
The Jekyl Island Club launches landed
in the clubhouse yards, and the water
has destroyed considerable of the clubs
property.
On st. Simon's Island, along the
beach, lined with summer resort cot
tages, the tide wrought devastation.
Reports are that all the cottages have
been wrecked.

LOCKED UP THE WITNESSES.
Recorder McDOnough Surprises
Pair Of BOboken u

Recorder McDonough sprang a surprise
in the Hoboken police court yesterday af-
ternoon by ordering the arrest of two wit
nesses who thought it very amusing to
testify against the character of a young
girl. The case which was being tried was
tina of Michael Fermazen, 80 years old,
an italian stone cutter, OF No. 404 Madison
street. Fermazen was arrested last Fri
day on a serious charge preferred by Miss
Loretta Lyons, a young girl living at No.
504 Clinton street.
Among the witnesses who testified in
Fermazen's behalf were Joseph Seholia, a
musician, of No. 525 Adam street. and
iBlanda Jorkel, a cobbler. of No. 412 Clin-
ton street. Each testified as to the al
legged character of the complainant, and
made admissions which in the opinion of
the Court were very serious. But
Scholia and Jorkel thought that their tes-
timony was amusing. They sat about in
the court room and frequently laughed
while their friend was being tried. When
the case was ended the Recorder called
them to the rail and ordered their arrest
on a charge similar to that against the ac-
cused. They were locked up and held for
examination.
Fermazen was found guilty and released
under bail to pay Miss Lyons 500 a week
for the support of herself and child.

Manning aud Fined $25'
Charles Flood, of No. 205 Newark ave-
nue., this city, was fined s25 and costs by
Police Justice Nevin in the First Criminal
Court this morning for insulting Nora
Manning, a young married woman. In
addition to the heavy fine imposed by the
Justice. he received a thrashing from the
young oman husband, Thomas j. Man
ming, of No. 1928 Newark avenue.
Mrs. Manning was on her way home
shortly after six o'clock last evening. She
had been to a ~neighboring store. She is
a beautiful woman with soft dark eyes,
long eyelashes and a peach blow com
p~lexion. At Barrow street and Newark
avenue Flood stopped her and asked her
for a kiss. She repudiated his advances.
So indignant did she become that he and
the young man who was with him sneaked
into Moran's saloon. Mrs. Manning had
plenty of nerve while Flood was insulting
her. but when he left her nerve deserted
her. and she burst into tears. A crowd
collected about her. attracted by the I'M
usual sight of a woman crying in the
street. A boy who knew her ran for her
husband, who had just reached home.
He hurried to his wlfe's assistance. TAX
ing her into Moran's saloon, which was
rowded with men, he said !.
Point out the man who insulted you.
Flood did not wait for Mrs. Manning to do
so. He stepped out of the crowd, and
grappled with Manning. A desperate
fight followed, in which Flood was
worsted. When Manning had thrashed
him %soundly, he turned him over to the
police. In court this morning Mrs. Man
ming picked out Joseph Rankin, one of the
SPECTATORS, as the man who was with
Flood when he insllted her. He was ar
rested by Court officer Douglass and was
