Volunteers Out of Work.

1t would seem from the stories of two
members of Company H of the District
Regiment that there is still a chance for
citizens here to do a good turn to the SOL
der boys who went to the front from this
city in the late war.
Three young men have as yet been I'M
able to find work. They are highly spoken
of by their officers. They are willing to
turn their hands to anything that will af-
ford an honest living, and anybody who
has work can find them by addressing The
Star office.

REMAINS TO BE SENT HOME

R. G. Porter aged apparently about thir-
ty-ffve years, whose home was in Wood
bury, N. j., committed suicide by shoot
Ing himself through the head in a room
at the St. James Hotel either late last
night or at early hour this morning.
The body was removed to the morgue,
where it was viewed by Coroner Carr, who,
after investigating the circumstances. gave
legged Later in the day the remains will
be shipped by rail to Porter's former home
for interment
Porter registered at the ST. James Tues
day, and was assigned to room in the
upper portion of the building. Yesterday
afternoon about O'Clock he paid his bill
to the clerk Mr.. E. W. Wheeler, and
he did so he remarked that he wanted to
hold the awhile longer, he was
not certain when he would get away from
Washington.
Porter then returned to his room, and, in
accordance with the custom of the manage
ment when room is retained under SINH
lar circumstances, an office boy was sent
up at $50 to see if the room was still Occu-
pied Porter answered the boys knock, and
the latter returned to the office and so re-
ported. About o'clock this morning an
attache of the hotel tried the door of Por-
ter's room and found it locked Entrance
was then effected through the transom,
and Porter was found to be dead with the
pistol with which he had killed himself in
his right hand one chamber being empty.
From the position in which the body was
found it was inferred that before firing
the fatal shot Porter seated himself on
the edge of the bed. In falling backward
his head struck the wall in such a way as
to cause the blood to flow in a torrent, and
the bed clothing was thoroughly saturated
with 1t.

tive from the first district of New Jersey,

by the local lodge at Woodbury.; s56 in

With the Score 1 to g Against Her the Home Team Makes Three Runs an the Ninth Inning.

Before one of the largest crowds of the season New Haven yesterday de- feated Norwich at the Savin Rock grounds.

The error which allowed the third batter, Duffy, to gain first was made by owens, and on this Ashe reached home. Amid gen. eral excitement J. Ira Davis stepped up to the plate and knocked out long single, which brought in two more runs, thus winning the game for New Ha- ven.
 For New Haven several star plays were made, among which a pretty three- base hit by Mcdonald was notable, Behind the bat Luchia caught q splen ded game, capturing five foul flies. The score:
