derms In Baitimore

BALTIMORE, June 9.-The work OF
holding a post-mortem examination on the
bodies Of Jolly and Sport, the two de-
ceased elephants, one OF which died Of

mails The carcass of Jolly was the
first to go under the knife Mr.
Nogelsang was aided by about ff-
teen men, most Of whom were attend
ants Of the -in--charge Of Matthew
johnson. the former keeper of the dead
elephant. 1t took them three hours to re-
move the tough hide, which was over an
inch thick. The hide was taken of in
quarters, the start being made at the neck.
The head Of the elephant was severed at
the neck, exposing the spinal column.
which appeared remarkably small for an
animal Of such large bulk. Part Of the
hide was removed from the head. showing
the tough, thick bones of the skull. The
fore and hind legs of the elephant were
sawed off Just below the knees. and with
the head were removed to a side tent. II
required the efforts of four men 20 carry
each leg The four men were unable To
lift the head. They were obliged to drag
it with a rope.
DR.. a. ". Clements and Dr. Ward per-
formed the autopsy Dr. Clements esti-
mated that the heart alone weighed In the
neighborhood Of fifty pounds The smallest
part about the elephant was his brain con-
tanned In a comDaratively small cavity.
When II became necessary to turn the
body over, the other big elephant Of the
zoo, called Liz. was put in harness. rones
were attached to the feet of the carcass
and it was thus shifted Great care was
taken not to injure any of the bones and
each quarter of the skin was carefully
packed away.
Drs- w. G. Townsend and William F
knlckman were present at the autopsy and
secured some microscopic sections for the
city meteorological department. where
they will be used in experiments. They

THE WINAN's COVE MYSTERY.
Theory That TIE Man Found Drown
ed Committed Suicide

BALTIMORE, June 9.-The body Of the
man found floating Thursday in the mouth
Of winan's Cove by Isaac Conway. Of 332
East Winder Street, is believed to be that
Of Henry Loehmann. German, aged six
ty-fye years, who lived at 1925 Peach Al
ley
Lochmann was last seen at his home
about O'Clock Monday afternoon. when
he told his wife that be was going to the
Riverside Roundhouse to get some coal.
lie had hemp sack on his back, in which
he usually carried chips of wood and Jumps
c coal for his kitchen fire. Mrs. Loch-
mann saws that her husband had been in
straitened circumstances for some time,
and in addition to his worry over his
financial troubles he suffered from an in
ternal injury caused by kick from a
horse.
Lochmann was seen Monday at noon
standing in the wOodhouse adjoining his
home. gazing toward 3the heavens, as
though he were in prayer. His wife. how
ever, had no suspicious when he left her
and she did not grow alarmed until he
failed TO return on Monday evening.
On hearing that man had been found
In the water in Winan's Cove Mrs. Loch-
mann sent her son-in-law. Samuel John
son, to the morgue to see il he could iden-
tify the body. Mr.. johnson said yester-
day that he had not seen Lochmann for
nearly month, and did not know what
clothes he wore when he left home Mon
dly- He saw the body al the morgue but
owing 10 its condition said he could not
positively identify il as that OF Lochmann
as he remembered him. He said the man
at the morgue had on q rusty black coat,
greyish shirt, dark blue trouserz. and
Suckled brogans. The shirt bore the
marks OF recent patching
Mrs Lochmann said she could Tot un-
derstand why her husband should have
wished to commit suicide, except that he
was broken down. physically and fnan-
cidlly, and had evidently lost hope OF bet
tering his condition. He had no enemies
that she knew Of, was inoffensiye and no
one could have any reason for desiring
his death. Il is not believed he was MUIR
oered.
Lochmann was born in Germany and
came with his wife TO Baltimore about
thirty years ago He worked for a num-
Der Of years in sugar store on Lombard
Street, but has not had any regular en-
ployment for the past ten years He has

lively few people ever get a chance to

II would be a revelation TO most people
to know that they can ride with dash
and daring that would win the admiration
Of a cowboy.
Nobody who saw the exhibition Of oar

day afternoon viii ever doubt that asser-
ton 1t was such an exhibition as is not
seen elsewhere, and one which more
than once tested the ability OF the spec
tators TO look on at dangerous feats al
most as much "a II tested the nerve OF
the men themselves to perform them.
There were sixteen cadets in the first
squadron and sixteen in the second They
each had the floor or the riding hall in
turn, and which Of the two did the best
IL is not for a layman to say. each was
so remarkably good. But il was when
the purely military movements were
over and the rough riding exploits took
their place that the marvel Of the thing
took hold OF the people
At times the audience broke out into
enthusiastic applause at some particularly
long and graceful leap from a gallopiug
horse to the ground and back again to
the slippery seat, but for the most part
this feature of the exhibition was alto
gether so thrilling and exciting that peo-
pie forgot TO applaud because they were
too busy holding their breath. 1t was the
end and climax of the weeks Academy
exhibition, and was voted by all who saw
it to be the most surprising illustration
Of what cadet life means.
With the riding hall exhibition the
graduation week exercises practically
came - an end The second and third
classes were examined in philosophy and
history this morning and afternoon, and
that ended the examination. So far as
they are concerned nothing now remains
