SPECTACLES FALSE CLUE.
Fail to Result in Identifying Man
Found Dead in Pennsylvania.

So far, every attempt TO identify the de-
capitated body of man found about two
weeks ago in Mud Pond near Wilkes
barre, Pa. has failed.
DR.. George Andrew G.. Hamilton, an oc-
culist of 49, Maryland avenue southeast.
whose name and address were written on
q spectacle case found on the body, could
find no record of the owner.
DIR. Hamilton said to-day. that from
the peculiar make of the lens, he be-
heved the man had been blind In his right
eye. as the left lens was for a near-sight-
ed person, while the other magnified
largely. From the strength Of the lens,
he said, he concluded that the man was
about ffty-four years old.
He said that the case bearing his name
and address, which the police of Wilkes
barre sent him. was probably given to the
man by one of his patients, as the glasses
were of a make which he did not use i'm
his work. They were nose glasses and
looked though the lens had been fitted
into the rims frequently.

held at Manassas, Va. July 10 to 81

that I am too Ill to attend your pro-
ceedings tomorrow. and it Is too late to
provide a substitute
This telegram will correct the an
nouncement made that Gen. Gordon was
present at Manassas on the occasion and
made an address. AS a matter of fact.
1t was Maj. u. r. Lowell. chaplain of
the G. A. R.. and dressed in new gray
suit, who filed his place, and was mis-
taken by many to be Gen. Gordon
Expressions of Regret.
Several tributes to Gen. Gordons char
acter were mace today by Confederate
veterans. Gen. Floyd King in speaking
of his death. said: Gen. Gordon was a
perfect soldier. and he was of a most af-
fectionate nature. brilliant in mind. He
never turned his back on friend or foe
I'm a word. he was a gentleman, and the
south and the country have lots in him a
monumental character"
John T. Callahan, adjutant of the Dis
trict camp of Confederate Veterans, also
