Wife Much Affected.

A pathetic scene was witnessed at the
morgue yesterday afternoon when Mrs.
Lee. widow Of Edward G. Lee the young
man who lost his life in the river Sunday
night, called and requested permission to
see the body. Although she had been sep
arated from her husband, 1t Is stated, she
was greatly affected over his death. Her
request was denied for the reason that the
body had not been prepared for burial and
was not In condition to be seen by the Wild
ow. She was told that she might view the
remains at the undertaking establishment
later In the day or at the house Of the par
ents of the deceased. sos 7th street south

about the time Mrs Lee visited the morgue
After being prepared for burial the remains
were removed to the 7th street house, from
where the funeral will take place tomorrow

occur at Congressional cemetery.
Arrangements for the holding of the In
quest at the morgue at 10 o'clock tomorrow

been made by Coroner hewitt and a search
Ing inquiry is to be made to fix the respon-
sibility for the fatal accident, in which the
naphtha tender of the pleasure yacht Mist
and the steamer Harry Randall figured.
To Fix the Blame
Capt. James T. Barker of the Harry Ran
dali has been a river captain on the Poto-
mac for many years and is regarded by
steamboat men as one of the best and most
careful steamboat masters on the river. He
left here yesterday afternoon on the steam
er Harry Randall to make the regular river
landings along the lower Potomac. He will
return In time to appear as a witness before
the coronerS jury tomorrow morning
Capt. Barker will be able to tell little of
the accident. He saw no light on the ten
der. although, 1t is stated, there was one
there. The captain was in the pilot house
when the accident occurred, and, 1t Is said,
he may not have been able to have seen a
light on so small a boat because of the
length Of the deck of the steamer. Those
who are to compose the jury are Frederick
Gieseking. Frank K. Raymond. S. Porter
House, Col. Wood. W. A. Dutton and
Thomas B. Walker. The report of Capt
Barker has been forwarded to the steam
boat inspectors. but the latter will proba bly,
take no action until after the inquest is
held.
