DEATH DUE TO POISONING.
Question Whether or Not R. A. Bensch
Committed Suicide

The body of a man believed to have been
r. A. Bensch who was wanted by the local
police for passing two alleged worthless
checks, was taken to the morgue from the
Emergency Hospital this morning. His
death is said to have been caused by opium
poisoning. but there has been nothing
found which will indicate whether the drug
was taken with suicidal intent or to ease
pain.
The man was seen to come from a saloon
on ID street last night about S:45 o'clock
and act IL he were intoxicated. Before
he reached the curb he reeled and fell to
the sidewalk. He was found to be uncOn-
scious and two policemen. who saw him
fall, had him taken to the Emergency Hos
pital- The patient rallied after he had been
under treatment short time. and then
there came change for the worse. Death
claimed him about midnight.
The only clue to the mans identity was
an inscription on a note book found in the
pocket of his clothing. which raids: ''R.
Bensch. Knoxville. Tenn. In case of acci-
dent notify A. j. Ohrn. Knoxville. Tenn"
This morning Mr.. Myer Loeb of Pennsyl-
vania avenue near Ith street called at the
morgue and Identified the body of the de-
ceased that OF the man who called at
his store the 30th of last month and passed
two checks one for $3.50 and the other
for SO.
The checks We're drawn on the Culpeper.
Va. National Bank. 1t was learned from
the authorities at Knoxville today that ne
such person as Bensch was known there.
From Culpeper Captain Boardman learned
that such man had had account at
the bank mentioned, but that the account
had been closed. The checks cashed by Mr..
Loeb were returned by the Culpeper bank
yesterday protested. 1t Is said, and then re-
port Of the transaction was made to the
police.

STILL MORE VICTIMS
WORK OF RESCUING DISASTER
BODIES CONTINUES.

NEW YORK, June 21-The harvest Of
victims who lost their lives in the General
SlOcum disaster continued today. All
through the night despite the terrific cleo
trical storm which swept over the city. the
searchers held to their grewsome work,
and early today the total number Of bodies
recovered had reached TO, and it was ex-
pected that every hour during the day
would add to the number. 1t was hoped
that Identification would materially reduce
the large list of missing before night.
An alarming result of the developments
Of the last three or four days has been
that, although more than 200 bodies have
been taken from the river. the list of miss
ing has remained almost unchanged. To-
day. when the total of bodies recovered ex-
ceeded $50. the list of missing continued
well in excess of 300
Cononer's Inquest Resumed.
When the coroner's jury, which is investi-
eating the disaster to the Slocun, resumed
it's session today, Daniel O'Neill. a deck
hand on the Slocum, was called as the first
witness. ONeill said he never saw any
fire drill on the SlOcum. although he had
been employed on her ever since she was
put in commission this year. He could not
recall that new hose was carried on board
the steamer at any time. There were no
life preservers on the hurricane deck, he
said,
O'Neill corroborated the testimony given
yesterday that the store rooms held paint
Oil, old canvas and a lot OF other dunnage
beside the lamp. He said sometimes the
room was lighted by a swinging lamp and
sometimes there was no light.
The witness first learned of the fire when
he heard people shouting. Then he ran 20
the hose 1t coiled and burst when the
water pressure reached it. He heard Flan-
agan shout Get another hose" and ran
and got the rubber washing hose, but the
coupling would not tit the standpipe.
After that he jun0ed overheard and
swan ashore. Replying to questions from
the jury. ONeill said the flames prevented
them from getting to the deck with the
washing hose after the coiled fire hose had
burst.
Edward Brandow Of CatskilI. the assistant
engineer of the Slocum. was the next wit
ness. For use in fighting fires he said they
had a donkey engine for pumping water to
the fire hose and to the water closet. They
never had any other hose on the Slocum.
He first heard of the fire when the mate,
Flanagan. reported 1t.

ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD.
Alice Mognascri Petitions Court for
Divorce

Alice Mognaschi has petitioned the Dis
t,fct Supreme Court to grant her divorce
from Flavio Mario MOgnaschi ION the
ground Of fraud perpetrated upon the COM
plainant by the respondent in procuring

The court is informed by the petitioner

in Florence, Italy. where she had been
taken by her mother for the purpose Of
completing her education In the studies of
French. German Italian and music. she
met. among other young gentlemen. the
respondent. who. she says. informed her
during the course Of their acquaintance
that he was the son of very distinguished
man. who was many times a millionaire.
and that his mother. who he said was dead.
was princess.
During the course OF their acquaintance.
according to the petitioner, he proposed
marriage to her. insisting upon his royal
birth. great wealth and still greater in
heritance. and claiming that he was not
only of high birth. but was of recognized
ability and man. by reason of his wealth,
inheritance and noble line of ancestry, who
was looked up to by all who knew him.
Thereafter. the petitioner goes on to say
when she. in company with her mother
concluded to return to the United States
the respondent also took passage upon the
same vessel and arrived in New York when
they did.
Being absolutely dominated and coerced
and placed in fear of great bodily harm by
the respondent, it Is further declared by
the petitioner, she was taken by him to
the office of Alderman John Haggerty. in
the city hall. New York city. and was there
married September q. 1902.
Immediately after the marriage ceremony
it is stated by the petitioner. she sought to
ascertain the truth Of respondents state
n,ents to his birth and parentage and
found hs was pennlless. and that his father
was a man of no standing and was penni-
less. and had disowned him; and that his
mother. instead of being princess and
dead. Was living and was never q princess

the most Interesting feature OF today's

somewhat stirred up when at the outset in
the bidding for Lanston Oh was bid for 1OC
shares or any part OF 100. AS that was the
figure at which the stock was offered yes
terday. while the bid did not advance be-
yond 81. the change was one OF considerable
Importance as things 60 An asking price
of III was made and II seemed at first there
was no stock at the bidders level
Finally came the word sold which
meant that the holder OF 100 shares had
parted with them at the bid price. The
bidder was not dismayed but bid again,
Then he became a little cautious and re-
duced his bid to 9A. but without result.
He renewed 1t on the old level and was
again greeted with the word sold. He
had become the owner of three lots of 100
shares, and concluding to test the market.

one broker seemed to be exhausted he be-
gan offering the stock at 9k. The best bid
however. was ~. and that ended the trad
