MARKS on CORPORALS BODY.
Artilieryman Drowned In the Sound
wasn't q suicide. Thinks the Coroner.

MfpDLETowN. Conn. July 2s.--Whether
Corporal Harry Miller Of the Eighty
eighth United States Coast Artillery sta
toned at Fort Terry on Long Island Sound
near New London. was Murdered or COM
mitted suicide is the question that the
authorities here are trying to decide
Miler's body was picked up in the Sound
about six miles of Saybrook light Thurs
day night by S. II. Pember Of Providence,
X. l.. who was cruising along the Sound.
The body was floating face downward.
Mr.. Pember towed the body to Saybrook
Point. which was the nearest land. Cor
oner Stephen B. Davis Of this city was
notified and has been investi tigating since
that time.
The Coroner thinks that the man was
murdered. There is deep cash on the
right side OF his neck just below the car
which had severed the carotid artery
The medical examiner OF the town. DR.
w. l.. Kelsey. also examined the body.
and agrees with the Coroner In the opinion
that tho man was murdered. 1t was i'm
possible to perform a regular autopsy
owing to the fact that the body was in
such an advanced state OF decomposition
MlHoT was IopoEtcu hicsiu8 ihsI week
by the authorities at the fort. who stated
that he had jumped overheard from a
launch while returning from a trip to
New London. There wore three other
members OF the command with Miller at
the time and they say that although they
threw a life buoy to him he refused to
take it and sank before they could reach
his side. The official finding was that
Millers death was by suicide. Col Ben
nett was reticent about the affair.
Coroner Davis communicated his finding
Of murder to the Colonel at Fort Terry this
afternoon but had received no word
from him at a late hour tonight. He
will take no further action until hearing
from him.
The authorities here are the opinion
that Miller was murdered in a quarrel
and his body thrown overheard. The
fact that his watch was found in his
pocket would tend to bear out this con-
clusion. When found he was fully clothed
in his khaki uniform with the exception
Of his coat

23 HURT ~ AN ODD WRECK.
Couplings Didn't Break k--EnEine Held to
the Track Rails weren't Defective.

WILMINGTON. Del, July 29.-Twenty-
three passengers were injured by the de-
railment of northbound passenger train
No. 80 on the Delaware. Maryland and
Virginia branch OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road near Queponcon at 1880 o'clock this
afternoon. The train was composed OF
five cars. The tender of the locomotive
and all the cars left the rails from cause
as yet unknown. The train ran about
100 yards on the crossties before the
engineer, George Larimore of Whining
ton, could bring it to stop.
A singular feature ia that none OF the
couplings broke. Had the cars parted
the emergency air brakes would have
acted automatically and probably stopped
the cars in a shorter distance. The train
was running at the rate of thirty miles
an hour at the time. The train crew oil
escaped injury. None of the victims was
fatally hurt and none was taken to a
hospital. They were all able to continue
to their destinations when new train
was made up an hour and three-quarters
later and were attended by railroad sur
severely shaken up.
Supt. 4. b. John tonight issued this
statement
AS yet we have been unable to de-
trrminc the exact cause of the accident
An investigation is being made as to the
condition Of the track and the railroad
equipment"
II was reported 10 the railroad officials
by the supervisor at that point that the
rails did not spread. The only inference
therefore is that something must have
been wrong with the engine tender or
tho cars. The engine itself did not leave
the rails
