DEATH SHIELDS A MYSTERY.
The Demise Of a. WcII-hposn Brook
Iyn Man While in Florida.

NEW YORK. March 2S.-There is some
mystery connected with the death of Will
liam Henderson. which was reported from
Cocoa, Fla. March 10. Henderson lived
in Brooklyn, and was visiting Florida
with g party of politicians which included
Boss" Mclaughlin.
Henderscns body reached here Satur-
day. March L. 1t was accompanied by
former Fire Chief Nevins. who brought a
certificate that he had died of heart fail
ure. Andrew J. CuTTan. an undertaken
had been employed 10 take charge of the
body in Brooklyn, and when he learned
that il was not planned to have the funeral
services for several days, he decided that
the body would have TO be embalmed, and
he had il taken from the casket, where it
lay surrounded by orange blossoms.
Under the head he found a piece of blood
stained gauze. He made an examination
of the body and found a deep wound in
the scalp in the back of the head and an
indentation half an inch deep 1t seemed
TO have been caused by a heavy blow
1t was such a wound as might have been
made either by fall or blow from some
heavy. blunt instrument. An autopsy was
held and. in the opinion of the doctors.
the wound caused death. An under sheriff
sent q message 10 GlTP S0ieI NbNlnS.
who had returned TO Florida. asking for
an explanation. He finally replied:
DR. Roach. of Brooklyn, will send you
a detailed report concerning Henderson.
/ did not know of the cut on his head
until ! had returned to Florida. There
is nothing wrong about Henderson's
DEATH
This despatch was unsatisfactory to
Henderson's relatives and to the under
sheriff. and the case has been put in the
hands of Judge William ID. Eeeder, who,
acting for Mrs. Henderson. is to make an
investigation. The autopsy which was
performed on Henderson's body did not
disclose any sign of heart disease. and it
is the general opinion that death, if it
was due to the wound on the head as the
doctors think. was the result of an acci-
dent which his friends in Florida did not
want to make public.

! There were no new developments this
morning in the smallpox case brought here
| from New Orleans in car bringing horses
TO the Beuning race track. Wycher, the
patient who was taken to the pesthoI Sc
yesterday, is very sick man. the case
having developed into malignant form
of the disease.
1t was learned this morning by the
Health Department that some doubt ex-
listed as to whether all the men in the car
with Wycher had been corralled and taken
TO the detention camp. The ear was a COM
bination arrangement, having the horses in
one end and quarteres for the men in the
other end. These would accommodate about
sixteen men, the number supposed to have
been in the car. OF these thirteen and the
patient, making fourteen are accounted for
by the Heath Department and are under
detention. The other two, if there were
sixteen in the car, are at large or have
left town.
1t has been learned that smallpox has
been practically epidemic in New Orleans
and other parts of Louisiana since last De-
cember. and that the District of Columbia
is nov suffering from the plain negligence
of health officers in New Orleans. From
December 81 TO March 13, there were 500
cases of smallpox reported to the Health
Department OF New Orleans, Of which 142
died
One OF the men on the car said to a
health officer that the figures of the San
itary Department in New Orleans do not
begin to represent the extent of the dis
ease According to his statements many
cases are not reported. specially those OF a
light form. The man said that the city
and the parishes outside were full OF
smallpox, and that it was spreading and
growing worse.
From official figures published by the.
United States Marine Hospital Service II
is shown that in st. Landry Parish. just
outside Of New Orleans. between Decem-
Der 81 and March 13, 1872 cases of
smallpox were reported with q deaths.
In Shreveport during the same period
there were 149 cases and 10 deaths. These
figures show that conditions are bad where
Wycher and his companions came from,
and, as DR.. Woodward said this morning,
should have led to some sort OF inspection
of the car before it left New Orleans.
Among the other precautions instituted
by the Health Department here is rigid
inspection Of all cars coming to the race
track. especially from the South. 1t is
also probable that all cars bringing freight
from Louisiana will be inspected after
today before they are allowed to enter the
District.

PAYNE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
COroner's Jury Charges an AIexan-
dria Man With Murder

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 2S.-A coro-
ner's jury was this morning summoned by
Coroner Purvis to investigate the eircum-
stances attending the death of Thomas
Bryant, colored, who was shot last night
by Frank, alias ''Nooks'' Payne. The jury
met at 1890 o'clock at Demaines under
taking establishment. DR.. Martin Delaney
and DR.. William Purvis, who conducted
the postmortem examination, testified as
to the condition of the body. 1t was stat
ed that there was one bullet wound in the
region of the abdominal cavity just below
the last ribs. The left kidney was pune
tured
After hearing some other testimony the
jury rendered a verdict to the effect that
the death of Bryant was caused by bullet
wound inflicted by Frank Payne.
Payne was placed under arrest and
charged with the murder, and Dennis Car
ter. Lewis Darlington, and Edward Ware
were arrested and charged with being ac-
cessores. At the examination before
Mayor Simpson Ware was dismissed from
custody, but the others were hdld for the
grand jury.

SENT TO THE woRKHoUsE.
walter Hurdle Sentenced as a Va.
grant.

Walter. alias Spider" Hurdle. was this
morning sentenced by Judge Scott to serve
thirty days in the workhouse after plead
ing not guilty to a charge of yagrancy.
Hurdle was complained against by Po-
llceman Howard. of the Eighth precinct.
He was arrested last night by Howard
on suspicion of being the man who at
tempted TO break into the home Of Phillip
ID. Posten. 1912 T Street northwest. about
0:S0 o'clock Monday night.
Mr.. Posten discovered the man attempt
ing to force an entrance and dropped a
brick on his head from a second-story
window. Though stunned and knocked
down the man escaped before Mr.. Posten
could get down stairs
There was no evidence against Hurdle
which connected him with the attempted
house breaking and his head showed no
sign of having been struck by a brick.
Hurdle was brought into court, however,
and as there was not sufficient evidence to
convict him of attempted housebreaking,
he was sent down as a vagrant.

resembling those of rabies. In each in
stance, says the report. the body of the
animal so suffering has been submitted to
the Bureau OF Animal Industry Of the
Agricultural Department for examination.
DR.. Woodward says that reports have
been received in ten cases, showing that
the diagnosis was correct, and that each
dog was suffering from rabies. Seven
cases. he says, have not been reported on.
Attention is called to the fact that no
negative reports were submitted. DR..
woodward is Of the opinion that this does
not indicate the absence of rabies in the
animals not reported upon. but only that
the results OF the examination were not
positive. and that a report upon them
could not be promptly made. Negative re-
suits. he says, might arise from failure Of
examining experiment or from not waiting
long enough for the reaction to manifest
itself.

NEW YORK March 2S.-Webster Da-
Wis, the AssitsHt Secretary Of the
Interior, the cnly American official,
except the military attaches. who
witnessed the battles between the
! Beers and the British in Natal, arrived in
New York this morning on the steamship
Aller from Genoa Italy
Mr.. Davis left Pretoria about February
i. after having spent several weeks as a
guest of the Boer Republic He made the
trip from LouTenco Marques TO Pretoria
in President Kruger private car. and was
treated Hospitality by the Beers. being
given an opportunity to visit all the bat
tletields and even to see several battles
from the BOer side
Mr.. Davis denied that his visit to Pre-
toTia had any official significance. and that
he was an emssary of President McKfp-
ley. He declared that his journey was
merely vacation, and that he wanted to
see his old friend. the Consul General of
the United States at Cape Town. Mr..
Stowe.
He also denied published interview
which was alleged to have bec,n obtained
from him in Italy and in Which he was
made to say that the British did not bury
their dead properly He also denied that
his mission was in any way a Govern
mental cne. He said that when he reach
ed Cape Town he had no ida of going IN
the Transvaal, but the republic was so
near that he decided to extend his trim.
When he reached Delagoa Bay President
hrugers car was placed at his disposal
and in it he made the trip to Pretoria.
While in South Africa Mr. Davis saws
that he saw Cronie. Joubert. and Steyn
and found them all able men, He also met
Generals Roberts and Kitchener along tho
Modder River and spent some time In their
camp. AT that time they had about 65 600
men with them. Mr.. Davis was guarded in
his answers to questions as to whether or
not the Beers were entitled TO sympathy
from this country
At Naples, before he sailed for Nav
York. Mr. Davis said to the correspond
ent: 1T was my pleasure to visit nearly
all the battlefeldS. l saw some real fight
ing and l can assure you it was business
from the start. The world knows of the
bravery of the British soldier, but l can
say, as an eyewitness, that no brayer men
live anywhere than the Beers.
Before leaving Pretoria, | had sew
eral talks with President Kruger and
found him most interesting man He ia
man of strong character, of great cour-
age, and very shrewd. The President in
troduced me to Mrs. Kruger. She remind
ed me of many dear old American mothers
to be found in many American homes, es-
pecially in the Western States.
MY opinion, even after hearing of the
recent British victories, is that the war
will be prolonged and sanguinary and that
after the capitulation of the republic
guerrilla warfare will follow indefinitely
Mr.. Davis left for Washington imme-
diately after the arrival of the steamship.

A Verdict of Not Guilty I'm the Brib-

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 2s.-Al-
though the finding Of the jury leaked out
during the night, there were many persons
in Judge Simontons court this morning
when the verdict in the case against for
mer Senator John J. Coyle for an alleged
attempt to bribe Representative John En-
ger, of Lycoming county. was formally
submitted 1t found the defendant not
guilty, but divides the costs, amounting to
at least $4,000, between Coyle and the
prosecutor. There was some doubt in the
minds Of the jurors as to the particular
identity of the prosecutor, and Judge ST.
monton asked the jury whom they meant.
Former Sheriff William Sheesley. of this
city, a member of the jury, replied: That
association in Philadelphia. evidently
meaning the Business Mems League. AZ
ter the jury restired to consider the mat
ter so that the costs might be placed, it
was agreed to be hardly fair to require the
jurors to settle the question.
Finally, the court discharged the jury
without any more definite understanding
than that the committee appointed by the
House of Representatives to prosecute the
case was the responsible prosecutor in the
matter of costs. Coyle is not altogether
pleased with the verdict.
