FOUND DROWNED IN THE Potomac.
o. sunday morning the body OF al un-
known man WIS found lying on a sand
bar iust off the shore ofColOnial Beach.
Investigation developed the fact that
the body was that OF Sinto DOMINICAN
from st. Thomas, papers and letters
found on his person indicating that his
name was Frederick Guntrup. 1t was
found tbat the mao had been struck on
the left temple, probably by the paddle
wheel OF 8 steamboat, the blow crushing
10 the side of the face and breaking u
man's neck. He was dead before the
blow was received, as no water wac
found Ia his lungs or body. The theory
Is that the man belonged to some
of the oyster boats lying OF Colo li-l
Beach aud that be was droW Ied
while attempting to escape from
the vessel. Strapped 10 the bundle on
his shoulders was suit OF gray clothes
black hose, and pair # shoes, the
whole outfit being of better material
than this clsss of men usually wear.
In this bundle were also two pocket
books. One contained Sc end in the
other were found note for 500 drawn
on the B ,nk of st. Thomas, issued some
nineteen years ago, and rent receipts,
the latest dated last June, for house
rent 10 his native city. It would seem
from this that Guntrup was a mao OF
family. Besides othsr minor effects, he
had q number of Sinto DOMINICAN coins
10 bis possession and his cuffs we're fast
eued with buttons made from quarters
OF that currency. Every year vt least
half q dozen such cases are reported
from these oyster beds. Steps will be
taken to communicate with the relatives
of the late Frederick Guntrup that his
property may be restored to the right
fol heirs.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.

Lester Spooner, who was brought
before the police court in Winchester
Monday, charged with raising the
amount on a money order given by
George w. Brown to Charles Barrett,
pleaded guilty and, in default of bail,
was sent to Jail to await the action of
the grand jury in October.
Joel Blackman, 90, died Saturday at
the home of his son, Rev. Virgil w
Blackman in West Swanzey. He
served in Company X. Fourth New
Hampshire Volunteers during the civil
war. a very unusual phase connected
with this church is the fact that nearly
every Congregational minister who set
ties there either dies before leaving
or buries some member of his family.
Rev. Mr. Carpenters wife died in the
parsonage, and soon after he was
thrown from a sleigh, expiring in a few
minutes. Pastor Merrill was found
dead in his bed. Rev. Mr.. Millikin's
wife passed away, after a brief illness,
and in about a year after the minister
departed this life. His successor, Mr..
Blackman. now loses his father. All
those within a few years.

Frank Moss. who was the counsel
of the Mazet investigating committee,
says that while New York's annual
budget is nominally S100,000.000 in
reality the city spends S170.000000 a
year. against London's 500, 100000 and
Paris's $50. 100000 with our enor-
nous outlay" he says, this city
should lead the cities of the world in
providing conveniences and comforts
for the common people. What does
it do in comparison with other cities?
There is nowhere else in the world
such an abomination as the New York
tenement house"
New Mexico will make a strong at
tempt next winter to induce Congress
to admit her to statehood. There is
a chance that she will be successful
New Mexico had 1874 900 inhabitants
in 1900, and is growing with considera-
bic rapidity. In fact. all the terrific
ries are growing fast. Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory had each almost
four hundred thousand inhabitants in
1900, and Arizona had 122, 900. Before
long all these will be on the list of
states. Probably Oklahoma and pos
SHY New Mexico will be on the state
roll within twelve months.

SPORTING.

The Dartmouth college athletic
council has chosen Irving Joseph
French, '01, as gradute manager to
have charge of all branches of ath-
letics in the college. Mr.. French's
home is in Park Hill, n. H.. where
his father is clergyman. He has
played on the Dartmouth college base
ball team the past four years, and
has been captain two years, playing at
short stop. He will enter the Tuck
school in the fall.
The Boston Herald of Monday re-
ferred to the old Brattleboro pitcher as
follows: Fred Woodcock, who has been
identified with the game in North At
tleboro during the past three years,
has made a proposition to place a nine
in AttlebOrO for the purpose of play
ing the intertOwn series which had
been abandoned. Without doubt this
series will be begun on July 6, the date
originally scheduled. Among the play
ers will be John A. Gammons, who will
be released by Boston July /. He will
act as assistant manager.
The Rutland Herald says "A foot
race of 220 yards is scheduled to be
run by F. L. Britton of Chester and
c. R. Browne of Rutland Saturday af-
ternOon, July 10, between and 5
clock at the fair grounds. A handi-
cap of four yards will be given Browne
by Britton. The race will be fdr 5000
a side and w. A. Pierce of Boston has
been made stakeholder. The referee
and starter of the race will not be
known until the day of the event, at
which Sheffield rules will govern"
Britton is great as a Splinter, but
greater as a faker, as demonstrate
ed by the races in which he had part
in Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, North
field and Barre. Rutland people will
do well not to bet on the race sched-
uled for Saturday.
The 18-hole course of the Ekwanok
Country club in Manchester is 6O12
yards long, one of the longest courses
in the country. Team matches have
been arranged between the Manches-
ter club and clubs in Saratoga, Troy

the championship of the Green Noun
tain Golf association two years and if
successful this year will own the beau
tiful cup. The annual tournament for
the Presidents cup will be played
August 14th, 18th and 10th. Among
the well known players who will com
pete are Walter ]. Travis, who is ma
tional amateur champion; William II.
Davis, Reid, Taylor Brooks and
Sweny. George Low, the well known
Dyker Meadow and Miami profess
sional, will be in charge of the course
again this season, and a number of pro
fessional matches have already been
arranged.
