FOUND A FLOATEH.
Tli Coroner' Iriueht unci Verdict of
the J ury.
This morning John Karnes, who was
up the river in a skill about six miles,
discovered the body of a dead man
floating in the river. lie attached a
rope to the corpse nn 1 towed it down
to this city binding it at the foot of
Main street where a number of specta
tors soon gathered and the coroner was
at once notified. Arriving ut the fccene
Coroner Gass immediately impaneled
a jury and the corpse was examined.
Undertaker Boeck was summoned and
after the examination of the body, took
charge of it for interment. The dead
man was about 3 years of age about 5
feet H inches in height witli light sandy
hair and smooth shaven face. He was
dressed in cassimere pants, had on a
vest but no coat; had on an undershirt
and ovcrshirt of blue and white; in his
pocket a small pair of scissors was
found but nothing else by which to
identify him, not a scrap of paper,
pocket book or anything of the kind
being upon his person. No marks of
violence were found and thcunfortu-i
uate man was probably a workman at
some point along the river above, who
met death by accidental drowning.
The following is the coroner's verdicl:

TAMMANY FEKNINST CLEVKLAXD.
Toledo July 6. Five special trains

go convention passed through the city
this morning. When waiting here Hon.
Juo. Kelly and others were called out
and spoke briefly. The former said
Tammany was going to Chicago 800
strong, and not a Cleveland man among
them. lie would say to the Democrats
ot Toledo that Governor Cleveland
could not carry New York under any
circumitances, if nominated. There
were three men iu Ohio with whom he
was personally acquainted and politi
cally affiliated, either of whom would
be acceptable to the Xew York democ
racy. A man from Ohio with the right
kind of a New Yorker for the second
place will carry New York. The New
Yorker must be a man who would be
strong in controlling the great labor
vote.
KINGS COUNTY FOR CLEVELAND.
It is announced late to-night that the
King's county delegation has decided

him under the rule adopted at Albany.
The decision created considerable com

centres in the probable action of the
New York delegation.
