rora are having good deal Of sport catch
ing the fish that left in the small
streams by the receding waters of the Po-
tomac during the recent freshet last week.
Thomas Fisher, who Is agent for the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad at Tuscarora,
says he caught Saturday a number Of six
pound carp left stranded in the tall grass,
weeds and mud along the Potomac. and
William Robertson, who lives near there
caught in a seine carp weighing twenty
five pounds. 1t measured four feet long
and fifteen or more inches around the
thickest part of the body. About a gallon
of spawn was taken from it. William

forty-eight minutes, beating the fastest
record by four minutes The grade from
Tuscarora to Barnesville, six miles, is very

PHYSICIANS WANT
AN AUTOPSY HELD
The Queer Action of the Hear. Dur
ing the Long Vigil Causes
Professional Curiosity.
py Exclusive wire from The Associated Press.

sy Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. IA
IL is almost certain that an autopsy on
the presidents body will be held to de-
ternlne the exact cause of death. This
Is the wish of all the surgeons and
physicians who were in attendance.
The peculiar action of the president s
heart was more or less of a puzzle to
them all, and DR.. MCBurney expressed
the opinion that in the interest of Sci
ence, as well as i'm the interest of the
government and the world, it was de-
sirable that the exact cause of death
be determined. The presidents heart
gave trouble from the beginning, but
its crratic action was at first thought
to be due to the shock of the wound.
But when the wound had begun TO pro-
gress favorably the heart gave more
trouble and anxiety than ever. Its ac-
tion became feeble and finally gave out
altogether.
The presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion, but some of the
physicians believe there was organic
heart trouble. The theory of at least
one Of the physicians is that the orig
inal shock of the first bullet over the
heart had much to do with the trouble
which caused death.

JUDGE TORRANCE

on First Ballot After General
Sickles Had Withdrawn.

the Grand Army OF the Republic at
tCdays session of the annual conven-
ton. General Daniel T.. Sickles, of
New York, withdrew from the fight,
leaving the field to Stewart and Tor
rance. The Western man had been
quietly gaining in strength on his own
personality since the opening of the
encampment. The withdrawal of
Sickles also threw a heavy vote to
Torrance. so that when the balloting
commenced, the latter had a walk
away.
The balloting stood 80 to 476 in
favor of Torrance, when Comrade
Wagner, who had the Stewart inter-
eSts ia hand, moved to make Tor
RANGES election unanimous. The cleo
tior of officers was the only business
