WASHED ASHORE.
Bodies of Two Men Buried i'm Long IsIand-May Have Been New Haveners.

IsIand-May Have Been New Haveners,
 Long Island paper received at this office relates the story of the finding of two bodies washed up on the shore near the town of Stony Brook. The bodies have been buried there. This town is about five miles from Port Jefferson. One of the bodies was headless and had an arm missing. It isthought by some that one of the bodies is that sama one hauled up by the dredges in this harbor a few days since The descrip- tton given tailies almost exactly with that of the one found here. It is quite likely that the body after being hauled up near the surface was caught by d current and carried to the Long Island shore. It is also thought that the bod ies may be those of the men who went out rowing from Merwin's Point soma months ago and have not been seen oH heard of since.

of Senator Hanna. New York, May 18.---Miss Julia Will Hams, daughter of Mrs Julia Williams of Detroit, Mich, and said to be rela- tive of Senator Hanna, died to-day at
 the Fifth avenue hotel of an overdose
 of strychnine, taken in the form of pills. She was twenty-two years of age.
 The young woman and her mother had been spending the winter at Sara mac Lake, N. r., on account of the poor health of the daughter Yesterday morning they came to this city, the in tention being to go to Atlantic City. Before leaving Saranac Lake 8 physi- elan had prescribed strychnine pills, al- so pills containing iron. From what Coroner Jackson could gather Miss Williams went to her room after break fast and took several of the strychnine pills, probably mistaking them for the iron pills.
 Some little time after taking the med- icine Miss Williams complained of feel ing very i'll. pr. D. P Pease was call- ed. She said to him: q took an over- dose of strychnine pills"
 The physician administered antidotes without avail and twenty minutes af- ter he was in attendance Miss Williams was dead. Dr. Pease said afterward: "There is no mystery about it at all. IL was simply an overdose Of strych- nine pills and they were not taken with suicidal intent"
 Miss Williams was engaged to be mar ried to Pitts Duffield, of this city, son of General H. M. Duffield of Detroit, and that Mr. Duffield was at the hotel when Miss Williams died, she having had him summoned.

SPITE AGAINST SHERIFF.

Martin Spencer and his deputies, and
Judge Benjamin CASTLE of the Crimi-

Tertiary terms, and also imposed the
present sentence upon Allen himself.
Because of the number and desperate

destroyed. A large section of the
Jail wall was so badly damaged that
