MR. EKINLFVB FATE.
Identify log the body of General J. B.
Gordon’. Secretory.
The body found floating in llic
water la.t Tuesday ou Pier No. 3
East river, wa. yesterday identified
by means of its clothing as that of W.
11. McKinley, the private secretary of
Gen. J. B. Gordon, who lias offices iu
the Bryant building. Mr. McKinley
disappeared o-, the night of January 8,
when an overcoat and hat were found
on tlie deck of one of the ferryboats of
the Pennsylvania railroad. In the
pockets of the coat were a sold watch
and chain, which were identified a.
those of Mr, McKenley, and a re
ceipt for a package which General
Gordon hail sent lo hi* daughter, Mis.
Lizzie Gordon, during the afternoon.
These articles, coupled with tlie die
appearance of Mr, McKinley, con
vinced General Gordon fhat his secre
tary had committed suicide, and lie
began to watch the papers for report*
of found bodies. No body was taken
from the rivers, however, which bore
Ihfl least resemblance lo that of Mr,
McKinley until lasi Tuesday night,
when the body wa.touud offP ! erNo3
East River. The entire upper pa ft of
the face wa. gone, and after bdiig in
the Morgue ter throe day* without be
ing identified, this hotly wasbuiicdin
the Potter’. Field. In the meantime
a brother of Mr. McKinley, who lives
in Charleston. 8. C.. happened to read
In a New York paper a description of
the headless body, lie wrote to Gen
eral Gordon, asking him him to vis
it the Morgue and try and identify
the body. The General went to tne
Morgue last bat unlay, but the body
had been bn tied,and although lie iden
tified (lie coat and hat found in the
ferryboat, and which were kept at
police headquarter*, lie was by no
means certain that Iho body which
wasbutied at Potter’s Field wa. that
of hi* missing secretary ■
Y'esterday morning John ll.jSiin
oiis, the janitor of the Bryant build
ing, weut to the Morgue lo examine
the clothing laken from the dead
body. The result of his visit wa*
that he fully identified the body bur
ied in the Potter’s Field as that of
Secretary McKiuiay. Just before
the disappearance of Mr. McKinley
lie and tho janitor ordered trouser*
made by the same tailor and from the
the same piece of goods. Mr.
Simons at once recognised the
trousers laken from the dead tuan,
and the identification was confirmed
by the fact that the name oflheAal
lor was stamped on the inside ol.lhe
buttons. Tho lining and inakir# of
thetrouscis were also similar iotllifc
own. Simona cut the waistband ftvlui
the garment and took It to the tailor,
Mr. Herold. who recognised the but
tons, and said that the texture of the
cloth was the same as that which he
made for Mr. McKinley. The identi
fication, alter this, was considered
complete, anil orders were given lo
exhume the body, which wastobe
sent to Mr. McKinley’s friends in
Charleston. It is supnosed that as Mr
McKinley jumped from tho terry-boat
his head was struck by th- paddle,
and iu this way the upper part was
crushed, and afterward washed away
by the action of the water.—N. Y'.

TBl WORLD ! DJITOT
Nearly aeveu million men, women
and children have looked back in
memory to Cattle Garden aa the spot
whertou :heir feet fist rested eu the
free ahorea of America. Out of them)
million many have peeved the bor
der which separate! all from the
future. To the general public noth
ing more la known of Castle Garden
than that It la a place where foreign
era are landed. The extent of the
daily butincaa dona there, and the
manner of doing it, am to them aa a
aealed book.
There am still living many who
remember Castle Garden a the place
where, previous to 1855. delightful
concent, grand balls and brilliant
receptions were held.
Up te the yeal 1855 emigrants
were landed at the various docks
along the city front, w lie re they be
came an easy prey to the wiles of
the boarding house keepers and their
satellites, the river this saw, runners
and the thousands and one attaches
of a nefarious trads.
In 1855 the legislators of the State
passed a law leasing Caatle Garden
from the city, which had owned it
since 1822 and designated it as a
depot for tho lauding of emigrant
passengers.
Statistics shew that from 1846 to
1884 inclusive, a period of thirty
eight years, there has beeu tainted
7.881,958 emigrant passengers at the
port of New York. This shows an
average of 207,412 per year. The
largest number landed in any one
year was in 1882 when 476,681 pass
ed through the garden. The lowest
number received was iu 1877 when
only 63,835 were landed.
Iu Iho rotunda of the garden there
art offices where railroad tickets fur
an)’ place in the United Stales can
be obtained at tegular rates. The
different telegraph line* have also
branches there. There ie an
hospital connected with the garden
which Is in charge of an experienced
physician.
A day spent in inspecting the
workings of this really beneficial
imunition will give food for interest
study. Long familiarity with the
wants and needs of the new arrivals
ha* made the attaches in the dis
charge of their duties, and a crowd
of twe thousand or even as high as
seven thousand people are disposed
of in one day.— York Herald.
TO SAVE HJ WIFE AND CHILD
A Destitute Doctor Telia Why He Be
came A Counterfeiter.
A recent dUpsieli from Cleveland.
Ohio, say*; Avery sad case was de
veloped bo fora United Slates Cent
mi‘loner White yesterday atternoon.
The fhffia cam*out during the pre
liminary examination of Dr. 1. H.
Bingham who was under arrest oil
the charge ef passing counterfeit
nirkle*. ll# made the fallowing
statement lo the court: “I am guil
ty of the offense charged but wa
forced to d# it to keep my wife and
child from starving. I aut a grad
uate of an Eastern medical college,
and came to Linndale from Massa
cliuesctts about a jear ago. 1 picked
up some practice but din ing the win
ter I had almost nothing lu do. My
means were exhausted and I could
not beg. My child became ill from
lack of nourishment ami I saw mv
wife failing day by day. In a mo
ment of desperation I thought I
would make a few ruckle* and with
them purchase food. I found some
lead in the house aud borrowed a
nickel for a pattern. I made forty
of them. They were so crude that I
knew they wetild be detected, and so
for sevecal days I kept iticm In the
house not daring to try aud pass them.
Onedav my wife felt ill and asked
for food. I picked out three of I lie
afeklc* that wm wad? llie best nl 1
hurried to a butcher shop in the vll
liage and asked for 15 cenls worth of
meat. It was handed to me and I
threw down llie couulerfiet nirkle*
and ran home. I gave the meat to
iny wife and child. About an hour
after a man called and said that lie
had been sent to me by the butcher,
who had discovered tint the money
was spurious. If I would redeem
the worthless money nothing would
be doue. I told him that I had not
one penny in 111* world and laughed
when he talked about redeeming
them. Seme time after an officer
came and took mo into custody.”
There waa hardly a dry eye in
the court when Bingham ceased,
and tlie judge was visibly affected.
He said that he would be coni|>ellrd
to bind the prisoner over, and did so
in the sum of #IOO. the lowest bail
possible. The Judge then took a sum
out #f his pocket and gave it tea
court officer, directing him to take it
to the wite and child. Bingham
was taken to jail. The ease ia ex
citing much interest, from the fart
that Bingham is an eduimted, and
from all report* an honest man.
The family will be taken care of by
charitable people of the city.
The tidy of the white house, Miss
R. E. Cleveland, sister of the presi
dent, has for a tong lime beeu a lect
urer in young ladies' schools. She
Is well acquainted with history and
the arts, and is said to speak sever
al languages. She has her knowledge
well at command, and is able to take
the lead in conversation.
Have you a cough ? Sleepless
lights need not trouble you. Tbe use

gans, and gire yon health.
According to the Chattanooga
Times, there it now no doubt that
Col. E. Cole's scheme to build a rail
rord tip Lookout Mountain has col
lapsed. All negotiations to adjust
the misunderstanding between tbe
Col. and Mrs. Whitesides have failed,
aud the hacamen are atill masters of
the situation.

“I have used Parker’s Hair Balsam
and like it better than any similar
preparation I know of,” writes Mrs.
Ellen Perry wifeof Rev. P. Perry, of
Coldbrook Springs, Mass. “My hair
was almost entirely gray, but a dollar
bottle of the Balsam ha restored the
softness, and the brown color it bad
when I was youug-not a single gray
hair left. Since 1 began applying the
Balsam my hair has stoppee falling
