An Erroneous Report.

A report was circulated in this city TO
day to the effect that Thomas Blanhem,
who was recently sent to the peniien-
tiary from this city for shooting and
killing John Green, colored, on the night
of the 18th of last June, had committed
suicide by pulling open a sell-iniiicted
wound over his windpipe which he made
before leaving this city. Blandheim, 1t
will be remembered, several weeks ago
attempted to kill himself by cutting his
throat with a razor. He inflicted dan
gerous wound, but was in an advanced
state of convalescence when he left here
for Richmond. Inquiry has been made
and it can be authoritatiyely stated that
the report of his suicide is baseless.

AN Interesting Relic.

Daring a recent visit to Norfolk Mr..
Jumus Dreifus purchased two ribs OF a
marine monster He brought them to
this city and now has them on exhi-
bition in front of his place of business
on the Strand. These relics affords an In
terestiug study. They are IL feet long
and "a inches in width, and the pair
weigh 80 pounds. There is every
reason to suppose that several feet have
been broken from each. These ribs
which at one time formed part of the
anatomy of some marine monster had
probably lain under water for thousands
of years. They were recently brought
to the surface bya resident of the vicinity
of Norfolk, who placed them in front of
his house. Those who have heretofore
been skeptcsl as to the existence of any
aquatic creature large enough to have
swallowed Jonah can have their doubts
removed by examining the ribs Of this
mammoth.

Animated Street.

Since the laying of the vitrifed brick
roadway on King and parts of other
streets in this city these thoroughfares are
used by all teamsters who can get on
them, and as a result the number OF
vehicles passing up and down these
streets has increased greatly. Inc
movements ofelectric cars add materially
to the scene, while bicyclists fitting to
and fro render the main thoroughfare of
the city more animated than at any
other time in the city's history. This
is especially noticeable on Saturdays,
when the number of teams on the streets
is augmented considerably. Persons
therefore at present need to be on the
alert while crossing certain streets.

Body Found

As has been stated in the Gazette, the
body of Richard J. Eckert, the draw
tender and the only man known to have
lost his life in the recent accident at the
Long bridge, was recovered yesterday.
The remains were found floating about
400 yards east of the bridge in the George
town chanuel by Peter Cayanaugh, who
was gathering driftwood. From the
general appearance of the body, and
clothing it is evident that Eckert suffered
not q few stunning blows as he went
down into thewater among the wreckage
of the Chesapeake and Ohio night express
and the twisted and broken beams of the
Long bridge draw span. Coroner New
tits inquest will be held today and 1t Is
probable that War Department officials
who have knowledge of the condemning
of the old structure, beside several prac-
teal bridge builders who are able to tes-
tify as to the condition of the broken
timbers, will be called upon for evidence.
It is also said that the investigation will
bring out the point whether or not there
had been any effort to make the structure
safe until the new bridge could be COM
pleted

Halloween.

Tonight will be Halloween, the fes-
tiyal beloved of merrymakers all the
world over, and should there be no curb
put on them, the youngster of the city
will call the attention of all residents to-
day to the calendar. In society the
observance of the festival will be left to
the Younger element, which will hold a
number of informal gatherings for the
purpose of peering into future, chiefly
matrimonial, for Cupid and Hymen
are the only saints recognized on the eve
of All Saints Day. OF course, most of
these gatherings will be held at country
homes, for big rooms, wife open ire
places and spaces for unlimited move
ment both without doors a. d within are
necessary for the proper working OF the
charms with which it is hoped to tempt
a propitious fate. These will consist
mainly of going into dark room and
by the light of solitary candle looking
at oneself in looking-glass, when the
face of the future husband or wife Of
there is to be any will be seen peeplng
over the left shoulder; burning nuts,
ducking for apples, twirling tea leaves
in a cup and throwing the pairing Of an
apple on the floor after swinging 1t
around the head three times, when, as it
drops it will form the first letter of a
name, the keen eyes OF love being al
WAYS able to spell out the remainder to
his or her personal satisfaction. The
last infaIlible test, however, is to eat a
sailed cake and &C TO sleep without
drinking water. The victims thirst will
become intolerable and in his or her
dreams water will be procured. Who
ever furnishes the water will be the wife
ar husband of the dreamer.
