GIANT POPLAR TREE DEAD.
Scientists Estimate that the Monster
Mns a Thousand Nenrs Old.

Easton, Md. July 5.-The Oldest and
largest tree in Talbot county is dead II has
been dying for twenty-five years or more.
The tree is a mammoth tulip Poplar in
field OF Poplar Hill farm, near the pIblic
road leading from Easton to Trappe. about
mile and half from Easton. The farm
has been named for the tree for at least
two hundred years, and is the property of
Mrs. Edmund Law Rogers, nee Platter. of
Baltimore, and was part of the orig nal
Platter grant made in early colonial
times.
Scientific men who have from time 10
time visited this tree have said that il
would take at least a thousand years for
this species Of poplar to grow TO such a
size in this locality IL stands alone,
picturesque feature OF the landscape, in an
opep field, and can be seen for mites from
all roads and from the water courses. The
wonderful size of the tree is in the mag
nitude and height OF its trunk. APPROX
mately it is 250 feet high and twenty feet
in diameter. The head is comparatively
small and the first limb is POO feet from
the ground, and il carries its diameter
symmetrically all the way up. From its
top. at night, for many yCnturesoms and
agile climbers have aScended it, the light
in Sharp's Island lighthouse can be plainly
seen. A horse and carriage behind il can
Tot be seen from the nearby public road
The lightning has not spared il. IL is
scanned and gashed and split by the many
bolts which have struck it, and which have
also Knocked huge limbs from its top.
Tradition says that 200 years ago. which
is far back as tradition claims 10 have
known the tree-it is named in land deeds
150 years ago-it had lightning marks on
it, and even then showed signs Of failure
Three years ago ii was struck four times
in one summer. This fierce attack un-
doubtedly hastened its end. Well the
giant is dead. The old Poplar OF Poplar
Hill probably saw the beginning OF the
tenth century and died just before the be-
ginning of the twentieth. 1t was the

FINDING A HEADLEss BODY.
Contents Of a Sack Discovered I'm the
Susauehanna.

WSlkesbarre. Pa. July 5.-Great excite
ment has resulted from the finding OF
headless body sewed in a sack floating in
the Susquehanna River below this city.
Three boys in bathing found the sack
and towed it ashore, thinking it contained
potatoes. The boys ripped the sack open
and were Mortified to see human foot
protruding through the aperture. They
were badly frightened and rushed home,
telling their parents of the find.
Coroner Mckee was sent for and a large
crowd gathered The sack was opened
and it revealed the partly decomposed and
headless body of man about twenty-five
years old, five feet, seven inches in height,
and weighing about l6o pounds. The ap-
pearance of the hands indicate that the
man was a miner or laborer in the coal
mines.
The body was entirely nude, and the legs
were doubled fiat upon the stomach be-
ing herd in place by bed sheet, tightly
knotted- Several physicians were called,
and the declared the body had been in the
water three or four days. There were in
Cisiols on the front and back of the body,
exposing the heart, lungs, and stomach,
which were evidently made by a skilled
surgeon, like those in cases of illustra-
tions in surgery before a class of students.
There were also incisions in the arms
and legs, exposing the muscles and arte-
Ties.
Where the body came from is a mystery.
There are suspicious that murder has been
committed, and several excellent clews are
now being ferreted out. Three young men,
all tallying with the description OF the
headless trunk, have disappeared from
their hcmes near here during the last
week. Their disappearance was very mys-
teriOus, and no c. ~ was left
Since the body was found a clew has
been discovered that may fathcm the mys-
terry. young man paid court TO a woman
In Wilkesbarre, and she had a second
suitor who is surgeon and physician.
The young man disappeared about a week
ago. and il was given cut that he had gone
West, but he left his trunk behind
The detectives working on the case be-
lieye that they have good clews TO make
an arrest in very short time. and that
II viii prove very sensational owing TO
the prominence Of the man suspected.
