utmost secrecy regarding them. Yet II
was known that the envelopes always con-
talned money and II was surmised that
they came from woman.
Mr.. Conlin picked up a great many
romantic yarns about the dead man at the
Stratford House. but most of them lacked
confirmation. The only clue that seemed
authentic came from a fellow lodger, who
said that the woman who sent the money
was a married sister.

DEAD, BUT MYSTERY
MONEY STILL COMES
Unknown Woman Continues to
Send Remittances to
Buried Derelict.
POST OFFICE SEEKING HER
Letters Mailed at Bay Ridge
Pile Up for COvill at
Lodging House.

A mystery, which does not appear on
the surface, lies back of this advertise
ment In the Brooklyn Daily Eagle yester-
day;
wASTED-The address Of relatives or
friends OF c. c. Coyill; important; communi-
cate with J. H. C.. boz 1873 Brooklyn Post
Office.
Since February 8, when Cov!ll alone
and friendless. died In the Brooklyn Hos
pital. the Brooklyn post office has been
storing away letters addressed TO him,
Each contained money. The last one,
which was posted on March %. contained
a so cent piece. And all of the envelopes
(thrty OF them had collected at the
post office yesterday are addressed in
a distinctly feminine hand and post
marked at station c, which is In the Bay
Ridge section.
The steady accumulation Of these let
tiers. which proved In language as plain
as words that some woman who cared
for Coviil had not learned of his death
and burial In pauper's grave. aroused
the interest and pity of j. Harry Conlin,
In charge of the information bureau at
the Brooklyn post Office. to such an ex-
tent that some days ago he caused an
investigation to be made, hoping Covill's
friend might be found.
At the Brooklyn Hospital II was learned
that Covill had been brought there from
the Stratford House. a 10 cent lodging
house at 296 Fulton street. where he had
lived and been known as 1.-THE man Of
mystery" for six months. When he ar
rived at the hospital he was scarcely
able to walk, NO weakened was his condi-
ton from long use Of drugs and liquor.
But beneath his ragged exterior there
were unmistakable signs. so the nurses
and doctors said. of an education and
a culture which even the life he had led
did not wholly efface.
From tho hospital Mr.. Conlin's invests
gators went to the Stratford House and
questioned the clerks and the dodgers who
had been there during Covill's residence
Very little could be learned Of the man.

Marion, Ind, Jan. 20.-Fire, which for a time threatened to destroy the National Military Home where 1,5O0 former United States soldiers live, to- night burned the quartermasters' building, containing all food and clothing supplies for the institution. The loss is estimated at $15O,00O. A high wind was blowing at the time and only the heroic work of the Mar ion fire department, assisted by the volunteer corps at the home prevent ed the flames spreading to the other buildings. As a result of the fire the institption is practically without sup plies and hurryup calls have been sent to wholesale houses here and in Indianapolis for additional supplies.

TESTIMONY TAKING
 WILL END TODAY Water Rate Hearing Will Then Be Argued and Sub- mitted to Judge Trieber TELL OF EARNINGS. Important Witnesses for the Pine Bluff Company on the Stand
 Today.
TELL OF EARNINGS.

With the evidence to be heard today in the water rate case, which will be continuation of evidence as to the revenue of the plant, present and prospective, it is expected that the protracted hearing which has occupied the attention of Standing Master Du- rand Whipple and attorneys for some days, will be brought to close, with the exception of the argument.
 The witnesses who were heard yes- terday morning were Manager B. c. Fowles, of the Pine Bluff Company, and his son, Roy Fowles, auditor of the Pine Bluff Company, who told of the earning capacity of the plant at present and concerning what would be the earning or revenue capacity under the rates proposed by the City of Pine Bluff, and which rates, passed by the City Council, are being con- tested by means of injunction.
 During the afternoon Auditor Stiv- CTS, of New Orleans, who for some time has been going over the books of The Pine Bluff Company at month"; ly intervals, was placed on the wit ness stand, and cited from the books concerning the revenue of the cOm- pany. He declared that the company would be seriously crippled should 1t have to operate under the rates which the City of Pine Bluff seeks to enforce on water supply.
 After the evidence has been com pleted, City Attorney w. B. Alex ander, representing the City, and Att torney F. G. Bridges. counsel for the Pine Bluff Company, will argue the merits of the case. Following that, Standing Master Whipple will go over the evidence and will strike out such portions considered not to have an important bearing upon the question at issue. Added to this he will make a report as to what he considers the trend of the case, and will return this finding to Judge Trieber, in the Fed- eral court, at Little Rock. Attorneys on either side of the case will then take exceptions to whatever portions, of the report are not satisfactory toV them and argument will be made be- fore Judge Trieber on these points ip- yolyed. The final decision of the case will rest with Judge Trieber.
