American League Decides Not to Go to
 166th Street Property.

 166th Street Property.
 New York, Feb 19.-It was reported yesterday that Ban Johnson. president of the American league, had secured base ball grounds on hlngsbrldSe roau, between l66tn and 16Sth streets, ana that lease of that property had been secured from the representative or the Juvenile asylum at all annual rental ol $25,OOO. Three weeks eago President Johnson attempted to lease the prop erty bounded by 166th street, l69th street, Amsterdam avenue and Edge combe avenue, through which l6Sth street has not been opened for tra1t1c. The owners of this property were will ing to lease 1t for term of years, but they could not deliver the goods i'm mediately and asked for three weeks time in which to complete details for the transfer. As Johnson did not care to wait so long he made other arrange ments, and before he left the city 1t was learned that he had practically closed negotiations for piece of prop erty north of the Harlem river within striking distance of the east branch of the subway and the Third avenue ele- vated road. Johnson also made the statement that the grounds. in The Bronx were more available than those at 168th street. which for time seemed to be the final selection of the American league. but as the 166th street ground would have to depend this year solely on the Sixth and Third avenue trolley roads, t was deemed ad- visable to go elsewhere in order to be more closely situated to the elevated system.

A MURDER MYSTERY ?
Part of Human Skeleton Found Uu-

Who Made His Headquarters at the
Place, Disappeared Eight Years Ago,
and His Brothers Suspect Foul Play.
Philadelphia, June 22.-The discov-
cry Of portions Of a human skeleton
under the flooring Of the building 324
North Water street has raised hopes
OF possibly solving the mystery Of the
disappearance Of Frank Hewes, OF
Bridgeport. \. j., eight years ago. The
family of the missing man Is positive
that he met with foul play, and his
two brothers, Thomas and Alexander,
called at the coroner's Office and asked
that an investigation be made. At best
the clew is vague and indefinite, but
the members OF the Hewes family are
determined to sift the matter to the
bottom. The coroner, assisted by the
police. will make a thorough inquiry
into the matter.
1t was the custom of the missing man
to spend much time at the Water street
building, which was then occupied by
a produce firm. When the news reached
the brothers that portion of human
skeleton had been found in the build
ing they thought the discovery war
ranted an inquiry.
It appears that Frank Hewes LETT
Bridgeport on Monday night July Y,
1895. on the truck boat run by Captain
John +. Truitt. He reached Philadel-
phia about II p. NJ, and left the boat.
That was the last seen of him. He had
gone up to make arrangements Tor
opening a commission house, and mad
$50 or $40 on his person besides a cost
ly gold watch. None Of his Philadel-
phia friends saw him. He said to Cap
| tain Truitt that he would spend the
night at a commission house on Front
street. He had no financial troubles,
no domestic troubles, and never went
away from home when he could avoid
Il. Hewes was well-to-do farmer, %
years old at the time Of his disappear
ance. II was subsequently reported
that he had been seen in Washington
but investigation proved the rumor
false.
The Hewes family spared no trouble
nor money to solve the mystery. Weeks
| of search in all the large cities OF the
country brought no results. Hewes
brothers came to this city from Bridge
port az the time and continued the
search, but they were bafiied at every
point and gave up their quest IN des
pair. But throughout that stretch o.
eight years the brothers have been con
fident that the missing man was mur
dered.
The first floor OF the Water stree
building has been occupied for thre'
years by Frank Carmady, fruit Inn
porter. A month ago one OF his mel
was engaged in boarding over a Drea'
in the cement flooring. The mans ey'
caught a glimpse Of something white
and a search resulted in finding tw'
ribs and leg bone.
