William Meade , the man who was wlthlt.
F. McNamara at.thn tlmo ho fell from the
Milwaukee freight truln and was killed ,
arrived from Perry yesterday moraine In
charge of nn ofllccr and xvaa taken before tbo
coroner's Jury to tell what Do knew of the
caso. It was learned that ho had not
changed his name from Minor to Mcado , ns
was supposed when it was first hoard that
McNamara's partner , named Moadc , had
arrived at i'erry. There wcro four tramp
clgnrniokers in the company on Wodmwday ,
their names Uolug McNamara , Meade , Minor
and I'lcrson , During the afternoon they
heard of txvo jobs that wcro open nt Perry ,
and played u game of cards' to dccldo which
of thorn should go. McNamara and Mcado
beat , and consequently departed that night ,
for their now homo.
Meade told the Jury the circumstances of
tbo cnso In n way that convinced thorn that
ho was telling the truth. Ho stated that ho
and McNamara started out In the ovcnlnir
ana boarded n Hat car after dodgillg.tho.vnrd1
nollrcmon. Hocurlodupin n corner of the
car with his coat thrown over his hend.whllo
McNamara paced back and forth , refusing to
lie down for fear of catching cold. Meade
wont to sleep , and when ho invoke the train
was standing still at n station and McNamarn
had disappeared. Ho looked about for him ,
but could not find him , and after a tlmo went
back and lay down. Ho got off nt Ports
mouth and resumed his Journey Thursday
nlpht.
This story was apparently true , or at least
the jurymen could not tangle him up by
cross-examining him. and the sensation that
it xvas thought would bo brought out by his
testimony failed to materialize.
When the Jury went to the scone of tHe ac
cident Thursday afternoon McNamara's bat ,
shoo , and a pool of blood wcro found together
a quarter of a mlle from whore his body was
picked up. It was hard to account for
this state of things by the theory that
McNumara had been killed by the
fail from a freight train , and It was believed
that evidence would bo secured to show that
bo had been murdered. Tbo fact that Meade
had bccn-with bim alone at the time. ho foil
from the train led the jury to think that pos
sibly ho could throw some light on the subJect -
Joct , but all thotr questions were of no avail ,
and ho bad to bo discharged after giving his
testimony.
The mystery is bow his clothing should bo
so far from his body , and In the absence of
anything to show conclusively that ho was
murdered , it Is supposed that ho wandered
aoout from the place where ho rirst fell from
tbo train and at last fell down tbo trestle to
thn nlnee where ho was finally found. Meade
loft yostcrrtav for Perry. The funeral oxer-
clses of McNumara will occur tomorrow.

THE GRAVE OF COLUMBUS.
I'rvllmlnnry limit of Distinguished Dls-
liutantH.
In this , the quadro-centonnial year of
the discovery of America , the world
turns with much attention to nil that
concerns the great discoverer , says , the
Boston Advertiser. For that reason , if
for no other , the paper recently read by
President Adams of Cornell university ,
before the American Historical society ,
nt the session in Washington , would beef
of general interest. The theory pro
pounded by President Adams is practi
cally to the effect that Herr Cronan's
discoveries in the West Indies provo
almost beyond a doubt that the remains
of Columbus still rest at San Domingo ,
and that the first landing of the
Spaniards was at Graham's Harbor , in
Waiting's island. The Inttor conclusion
may bo correct. While both Irving and
Hu'mboldt maintained that Guahuhani ,
the San Salvador of Columbus , is to'bo
found at Cat's island , tholr conclusions
are not perfectly reconcilable with nil
the facts known to modern history. As
long ago ns 1798 Munoz insisted that
Watling's island was the land sighted
by Rodrigo do Triana , from tho'Niua ,
Since that time corroborative evidence
has been discovered by Boochdr , Pes-
chol nnd Major. Varnhugn describes
-Miiyaguorru as the island in question ,
but his conclusions have never , been
accepted ns indisputable. The weight
of evidence seems to boar so strongly on
the side of Munoz that there" is no gen
eral disposition to quarrel with the
Watling s island theory.
The statement that the remains of
Columbus were not disinterred at His-
paniola and taken to Havana to repose
in the cathedral in the hitler city , is not
entirely n now one , but before It is
widely accepted there must bo stronger
tosllmony than a mere legend and the
discovery of an ancient tomb. It is well
known that the discoverer died May'20 ,
1500 , and \vns buried ut Valladolid ,
whence his body was taken to Las
Cuovas to lie with that of his son Diego.
Later on the bones of both father and
son were taken by the Spaniards to the
present island of San Domingo. Again ,
unless history is at fault , on the
cession of San Domingo to the
French , the bones wore'again removed ,
and were deposited with much state and
ceremony in the grand cathedral of
Havana. President Adams' maintains ,
and Ihoso who believe us ho docs will
probably nccopl his conclusions , that
the entire ceremony was n fraud upon
the Cuban people and that the remains
of Iho great explorer still rest at San
Domingo.
If this supposition bo correct , it seems
remarkably strange that the Spanish
authorities could have boon duped so
easily. The tomb of Columbus hna long
been an object of veneration lo the
Spaniards and was ono of the most
notable objects of interest at San
Domingo during the lastcenturv. It is
almost absurd to imagine that
not ono of the Spanish olli-
cials know the exact whereabouts of n
tomb which had for nearly
250 years been BO famous. It is far
easier to believe that the Dominicans ,
regretful of departing honorswero more
limn credulous of any legend which
would again Hut tor local pride and Iho
lomplalion to coin such n story may
hnvo been irresistible to the local im-
prnviEiitorcs who have coined so many
curious romances , fanciful legends of
other days. Not long ago The Adver
tiser noted the manner in which n
Hiniillar impulse had induced many cities
to claim for themselves the honor of
having boon the birthplace of Columbus.
Surely it is not unreasonable ttion lo re-
gaid the Dominican legend with much
more suspicion than President Adams
has exercised toward It
Homo Stiuu ,
It is well known that horses can hear
deep sounds which wo cannot. For days
previous to the cnrlhquaka. In Iho
Kiviorn , Iho horses Ihoro showed every
symptom of nbject fear , which continued
without any change of character till thu
fury of the convulsion broke forth. But
not till n few seconds before the
earth began to quake did human beings
hear any sounds , whilp it is oxtroinr.ly
probable that the horses hoard the sub
terranean noises for two or three days
previously ,
A Hymllcuter Culled Doun.
A bright , energetic young newspaper
man In a city not u thousand miles from
Chicago , says the Mall , recently was engaged -
gaged in preparing articles for publica
tion by a syndicate of newspapers. It
occurred to this young man thai il
would make interesting reading to pre
sent the views of n number of America's
loading journalists on "What the News
paper Will Bo Fifly years Hence. " The
young man decided to lei n few bright
mlnda nir their views and advorlUo
themselves to the oxlont of 200 words
each. Among the men whom ho con
cluded to permit to contribute to the

Hint Iho decedent's heart had ceased to
