MAN TO BE INVESTIGATED
Prosecuting Attorney JOhnston Orders
Autopsy Held ON Body Found on
Country Club Golf COurse.

| Prosecuting Attorney r. L. Johnston of
| st. Louis County last night ordered an
autopsy held on the body of an unidentified
man found dead yesterday afternoon on the
Country Club golf course near Clayton.
Blood stains on the mans coat sleeve. on
lis throat and his face. and cash about
an inch long under his left ear, together
with the fact that another person was seen
with him yesterday morning near the place
where he was found. made the circum-
stances unusual that the prosecutor de-
cided to investigate.
Two bottles, one filled with a white liquid
bearing peculiar smell, the other empty
and labeled poison. were found near the
spot where the body lay. These, together
with the fact that the mans face mad
turned purple, caused the other officials to
believe that he might have committed sui
eide.
The man was about ) feet 6 inches tall,
weighing about $50 pounds. He appeared to
be about 10 years old. He had an oval face,
heavy brown mustache. a two-weeks
growth of beard. was bald on the top OF
his head. had dark hair tinged with gray
around the ears. wore brown sack coat.
gray cotton trousers, broSan SHOES ana
white cotton socks.
A black felt hat found near him bore the
trade mark of r. Hammer. halter and FUR
nisher. at No $50 Broadway. East St; Louis.
A knife and latchkey were the only arti-
cles found on his person. There were no
other marks of Identification
Elmo Genail. an employe Of the Country
Club saw the man lying on the links yes
terday morning. About sixteen feet east
against a post. Genail supposed the man
lying down was sleeping.
Glen Washington, negro, living near,
saw man staggering along the Clayton
road Tuesday evening and asked him what
he was doing. The latter replied that he
had gone to sleep on a Suburban car anu
gotten off at the wrong place. but that he
mad nickel left and was going back to
town. The man found yesterday did not
have any money. Washington was not
certain ii was the same person, as his face
was Gscolored.
The body was taken to Clayton. where it
is being held for Coroner Koch.

was an unhappy one. and when he fifteen
years old young Merkowitsch could stand it
through all the European countries, and about 1880
came to New-York, where he set up in business as
a furrier.
Merkowitsch is a stately old man of over seventy.
Although cousin 10 king and entitled to the rank

POPE IN THE VATICAN GARDENS.
His First Visit This Year-POntif's Health
Considered Excellent.

Rome, June 3O-~The Pope descended to the
Vatican gardens this morning for the first time
this year. and was driven about for an hour and
a half. The Pontiff seemed to enjoy the open
air immensely. and noticed the changes made In
the gardens since his last visit He was espe-
cially interested in the growth of the vines
planted by himself and made inquiries regard
ing the prospects of the vintage. When the
Pope returned to his apartments he was not In
the least fatigued and received several bishops
Monsignors Mourey and D'Haltpoul. French
prelates attached to the Papal court, left here
for Paris to-day, on vacation which will last
until October. They previously asked DR.. Lap
POM. the Pope's physician. if their vacation was
not likely to be interrupted. and his reply was:
DO not be anxious. You may stay away for
several summers"
At present the Pope is wonderfully we'll. Peo-
pie who have seen him recently declare that all
traces of the Pontiff's recent indispOsitions
have disappeared.

MAD MULLAH DEFEATED.
Abyssiniar,s KiU Thousand of His
Men-LiUestock CAPTURED.

London. June 30.-The War Office to-day re-
ceived dispatch from Colonel Rochfort one OF
the British officers serving with the Abyssinian
force in Somaliland. which says the Abyssnians
on May 81. after a series of forced marches.
struck the Mad Mullah's forces near Jeyd, sur
prising them at dawn. and killing a thousand
srearmen and capturing almost all their cattle
and sheep and thousand camels.
Colonel Rochfort adds that the Abyssirians
have effectually closed to the Mullah all the
watering places south of the Gerlogubi- GaIadi
line and he hopes they will soon be in contact
with the British forces. and thus be able to
cooperate in the pursuit Of the Mulah. who
IS delayed in his movements by the fact that he
is crossing a waterless part of the country. The
colonels dispatch dated June II.
General Manning has telegraphed to the War
Office discreditng the reports that several Brit
ish officers are prisoners in the Mad Mullah's
camp. The general says that deserters from the
Mullah's forces deny the rumors
Apparently the only foundation for the rumor
of a British defeat the gossip of SomaIIs
who arrived Jibutil Abyssnia. from Berbera,
apparently magnifying the old Plunket affair.
The story bears its refutation. as the ma
tives said three white men who survived the
disaster had arrived at Berbera on June 10.
As Berbera Is only three hours from Aden the
news If correct would have reached London the
same day.

opposition.
An official telegram has been sent to the new
Viceroy Of Canton directing him to order the

than the rebellion.
