Measures Taken to Remove Ice in Ad-
vance Of Rise in River.

The District Commissioners have received
a report from Harbormaster Sutton in re-
gard to the breaking up Of the ice in the
Potomac under the appropriation Of 5000
made by Congress for that purpose. The
harbormaster says that 1t Is admitted by
all conversant with the condition Of the
river that the flood with which the city was
threatened would have been the most dis
astrous in its history but for the timely
breaking Of the ice. With reference to the
operations of the harbor force Mr.. Sutton
says:
Immediately after are appropriation be-
came available I engaged a fleet OF the
largest and strongest tugboats on the river,
and as soon as the first signs OF the thaw
became apparent I began, with them. the
work Of clearing the river of ice. This was
commenced on February 81 and continued
without interruption for ten days. at the
end of which time the Ice had been broken
up and the river cleared of gorges over a
wide area.
During this time seven boats were en-
ployed-six boats for ten days and one
boat for one day-at total cost of So $50
In attempting to use the harbor boat Vigil
liant 1t was found that her wheel was too
light for the heavy work required, being
first bent and then broken. There has been
expended in fitting her with an ice pillow,
new wheel and repairing other damage sus-
tanned by her hull and machinery. together
with ,-.e cost of inspectors, the sum Of
1880 40, making a total expenditure OF
81, 435. 45 out of the appropriation of 5000.
Mr.. Sutton ends his report with a strong
recommendation for including an item in
the regular appropriation bill of $1,000 to
be used as an emergency fund for the
breaking up y me ice in the Potomac river
when such action Is found necessary. Mr..
score of economy, as giving more time to
do the work.

NOT THE BODY OF CAPT. LORD.
Remains of Man Found in River Not
Identified.

The body Of the man found on the river
shore this side Of River View Tuesday
morning, which was referred to in yester-
days Star, Is not that Of the missing
Capt Thomas ". Lord, who disappeared
week before Christmas, after intimating his
intention OF committing suicide. Neither
of the two bodies was identified, and they
fill graves on the river bank in Prince
Georges county. Md. Capt. Boardman and
other police officials feel reasonably GER
tain that the men did not belong in this
city, but that their bodies were washed
down from Maryland or Virginia, possibly
from points many miles above this city
The body Of the younger man mentioned
was found in the water of Bryan's Point
and was tied to a stake In the river until
the arrival of the police boat from this city
and the county coroner. Nothing in the way
of identifying the remains developed at
the inquest and they were placed in
grave to be marked unknown"
Persons who saw the body Of the elderly
man. which seemed to be covered with
lime have an idea that the mans throat
had been cut. When the police boat reach
ed point off Mr. Edelins farm yesterday
afternoon 1t was necessary to anchor some
distance from the shore Members of the
crew went ashore In row boat, consider
able difficulty being encountered because
Of the high wind and rough water. After
tramping about In the deep mud for some
time the grave was located near small
stream and the pine box in which the body
was buried was filled with water. 1t re-
Quired but few minutes work to remove
the shoe from the left foot, when 1t was
definitely determined that the body was
not that OF Capt. Lord.
The presence Of what seemed to be a
thick coating Of lime on the body puzzled
the police and others who examined the
corpse. The belief was expressed that the

washed during the high water last week.
1t is thought that the body of the young
man which was found off Bryans Point
is probably the one seen floating down the
river near the Long bridge Sunday. The
police were also Informed that the dead
body Of a man was seen drifting down
stream in a bateau last Thursday.
The police boat Vigilant made another
trip today to Bryan's Point. Although the
body Is in the Jurisdiction OF Maryland.
Captain Boardman thought it would be
well to photograph it, as In this way iden-

twenty-three years of age and says his
home Is In Roanoke. Va. His ailment has
been diagnosed as bronchial pneumonia and
his condition is critical. He reached Wash

Commissioner Ross Recommends Meas
ure to Prevent Smallpox Infection.

Commissioner John W. Ross has called
the attention Of his colleagues to the fact
that during the prevalence Of smallpox in
this city In 1894 a circular letter was sent
to. the railway companies asking them to
refuse transportation to persons carrying
bundles OF soiled linen. Mr. Ross recon-
mends that the letter. which reads as fol-
lows be called to the attention Of the
health officer for his action:
The Commissioners have the honor to
suggest that you instruct the drivers and
conductors Of the cars Of your company
to refuse conveyance on said cars for bas-
kets or bundles OF soiled clothing on the
way to the laundry, during the prevalence
Of smallpox here.
1T is the general opinion that street car
passengers are exposed to great risk of
contagion by means Of clothing OF diseased
persons during such transportation. I: is
especially advisable that every practica BILE
precaution against such exposure be taken
in the present exigency."
