Fearful Death
AT East Park.
A DISGUSTING CAS- E
George w. Andrews Found
In A Horrible Condition.

George w. Andrews, 81 years old, for
merly employed as a delivery clerk in
the office Of the New England Railroad,
was found lying in the woods north of
the wading pool in East Park about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon in fear
full condition, and he died at the City
Hospital about 7.4O o'clock last night.
The case is without parallel, and one
of the most terrible that have ever come
under the observation of the local po-
lice or hospital authorities Aside from
being in fearfully filthy condition, the
mans body literally swarmed with
vermin
The. disgusting vermin had worked
all over his body and eaten into his
flesh. One of his ears presented the APP
pearance Of large running sore, due
to the work of these hideous worms.
The ear had been eaten to such an
extent as to bleed profusely when
washed and dressed at the hospital.
Other parts of the mans body were raw
where the worms had worked. They
had even worked their way inside the
mans eyelids, and death was merciful.
There was no sore or other sign of
viruIent disease about the mans body,
and death was pronounced as due to
alcoholism and exhaustion. Medical
Examiner f. H. Baker will view the
body this morning.
Andrews was a New Yorker, and was

Santiago Harbor.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct 16.-Naval
Constructor Hobson, who has arrived
here from the wreck of the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon, will leave to-
morrow for Guantanamo on business
Teresa which he expects to get off to
the United States before the end Of the
month. For the last few days he has
been engaged in preparing to raise the
Cristobal Colon, a work which is prac-
tically impossible from the Sea because
of the dangerously heavy swell. The
operations will, therefore, he conducted
from the shore. Mr. Hobson has built
trolley line out to the ship, a distance
of $50 feet, with a suspension bridge;
and the compressed air pumps are now
In position. On his return from Guam
tanamo he will push his operations Wig
orously as he still feels absolutely GER
tain of raising the hull uninjured.
In Guantanamo bay there are several
schooners loaded with coal for the fleet
Demurrage expenses being very heavy,
the senior officer Capt Chester, or
dered sheds to be built on shore so hat
the vessels might unload, thus making
a temporary coaling depot. This act
has raised a tremendous hubbub among
the Cubans, and is one reason given by
the Cuban Gen. Perez for not dis
banding his troops. He claims that the
Americans have no right to establish a
coaling station without the permission
of the Cuban government. 1t is gem
orally believed at Santiago among the
Cubans that his promise to disband was
only a scheme to obtain rations for
himself and mis- troops by pretending to
go to work, whereas now he makes
several excuses for not disbanding.

commissioned by the negro republic Of

New York, who was to have visited him
about three weeks ago, but did not put
in an appearance. The unfortunate man
came east to work for one of the con-
tractors on the metropolitan water sys-
tenn, but through some flaw in the con-
tract, the line of work in which he en-
gagged was given up, and Andrews came

He has roomed with the family of
Mrs Fanny Howes, 80 High street, for
about four months. He was last en-
ployed by the New England Railroad
Company as delivery clerk at the South
bridge street freight house.
He applied to H. M McCambridge, To-
cal agent of the New York, New Haven

time ago He stated that he was ae-
customed to railroad business, and at

was noticed that he had been drinking,
and his superior was ordered to send
him home. Before he could reach the
man, however, Andrews had donned his
overcoat and started off on his own ac-
cord
Little was thought of the matter at
the time, as his employers thought he
would put in an appearance Saturday
or Monday, when it was planned to give
him a little good advice and reinstate
him. Nothing has been seen of him
about the freight house since that time
The last seen of him by the people
with whom he roomed was at o'clock
Monday morning, one week ago, when
he came to the house. He had evil
IDENTIFY been out most of the night, and
showed signs of drink. He asked
Mrs. Howes if she had anything to
drink. She replied that there was
plenty of water, if he cared to turn
the faucet. He then wanted to borrow
so cents, saying he would pay her as
soon as the bank opened. Later he
was heard in his room trying to vomit,
and exclaiming. 80, my God. I'm aw-
full sick" He went out soon after, and
was not seen afterwards.
His friends in Worcester express
great surprise at his death from the
causes named, because previous to this
time he has never been known to
drink He is described as a very nice
man. of neat appearance, always well
dressed, and one of the last men in the
