CANNING'S
BODY FOUND.

The drowned body Of John
H. Canning OF Elm and jack
son streets, was found floating
in the Christiana river near the
Market street bridge this morn
ing. The body was first dis
covered by the captain of the
tug boat Fowler and he in turn
called to James McGovern.
The latter secured his boat and
took the body to McManus'
boat house where it remained
until the arrival OF Coroner
Vandever
Canning was a we'll known
painter and has been missing
since Marchs2G last. On the
evening of that date he was in
the saloon of John j. Gala
CHER at Third and Madison
streets. He made arrange
ments with Mr.. Gallagher to
return the next morning and
do some painting He left the
saloon about 8 o'clock to 90 to
his home but did not reach
there. A dlligent search was
made for the man but no
traces of the man could be
found. About ten days ago
his daughter requested Chiet
Dolan to make further search q,
and he detailed Captain Black, =
Sergeant Bayley, Officer Riley
and another man to search
ohipley Run sewer. The man
secured a gum suit and went
through the sewer from Sixth
street to its mouth, but did not
find any traces of Canning's
body. An investigation of the
body shows that it is in an ad.
vanced state of decomposition.
Captain Black was unable to
find any traces of foul play
about'the body beyond bruise
or two about the head. 1t is
supposed that Canning walked
overheard while on his way
home after leaving Gallasher's
saloon.

BULLETS FOR
GIRL HE LOVED.
Jealous Young Man Shot
Her Twice in the Head.

Reading. Pa, April IS.-Comely
Rosa M. Kline occupies a. cot in the
Homeopathic Hospital with two
bullet wounds in her head, as the
result Of having one lover too
many. Rose tor some months has
been a domestic in the family OF
William d. Smith, at Fifth and
Walnut street. She has had many
admirers, but Charles Culp,
young butcher of this city, was
regarded as the favored sutton until
a few weeks ago, when she met a
young landlord.
Affairs came to climax tonight
when she and Gull started out for
walk and met the other man near
the A academy of Music. CuIp had
been displaying a revolver, and so
frightened the girl that she appealed
TO the man for protection. Culp
took the hint and started with the
girl for her place of employment.
When they had gone less than
square, and were in front Of ST.
Johns Lutheran Church, Culp drew
his revolver and began shooting at
her. Three shots were fired, two
of which took effect, the one above
the right temple and the other two
inches further back on the head.
Cup ran out Sixth street, and is
believed to have boarded a freight
train. The girl will recover,
