Tbo dead man is supposed to be Herman

city about 3 o'clock yesterday morninp in
cbarpe of Marshal C ( lonciwin of Waterloo.

At tbe station , be became very violent ,
r and the jailer uncorked tbe large bottle of
"fcnake medicine'1 that i coustautly kept on

chloral utid bromide.

while great drotis of perspiration rolled down

A large attendance of "Tbe Club" was

on "Tbo New Orleans Question. "
Tne paper road by Mr. Elgutter was a com
prehensive statement of the question from a

tbe nature ol the inquiry and examined into
the relative rights of the parties. "Has tbe

SAD STORY OF THE SOLDIER'S END.
Alter Being in His Grate Ten Years ,
tlie Amerlcnn Consul Dlfrcor-
ers Valuable Paper * Which
1UU Deou Jllt-luld.
WAFHISOTOV , Mar 1L A strange and ro
mantic story Is that told ID a recent report to
tbe department of state regarding tbo death
of General George Ponints , formerly tbe
I'nited States consul geuerul at St. Peters
burg. Doith ia n strange lead , far away
from family und friends , burial In the potter's
field , aud ten years subsequently the sudden
discovery of valuable deeds and papers which
hare never been claimed tbese are tbe es
sential features of tbe story.
General Pomutz u as a brilliant soldier of
tbe war , a friend and comrade of General
Grant , a prominent citizen of Kcokuk , la. ,
and one of onr most accomplished representatives -
tives abroad. He was appointed consul at
St. Petersburp February 10. IsM. and promoted
meted to the consul generalship on .lune IT , .
Is74. He surrendered tbe office on Septem
ber 30 , 171 , to make room or a friend of tbe
new administration of Presiaent Hayes , and
continued to live in St. Petersburg.
Only a few years elapsed until his death ,
and then tbe American residents made up a
purse : or his burial No one appeared to
claim the body , no one seems to bat e made
an inquiry from loxva as to tbe disposition of
bis property , and it is only by accident that
Consul Crawford bas recently discovered two
locked baies belonging to him. containing tue
records of his service an d deeds to town lots
aud farms in Iowa and Missouri , represent
ing a larpe amount of money. Tbe whole
itory is graphically told in the report which
is printed below. Tbe lull tert of the report
made by Consul Crawford is as follows :
"It appears to be my duty to the relatives
of General Pomutz. formerly of KooknK , la ,
wbo died in this city nearly ten years ape ,
aud whose remains were interred in the poor
corner of the cemetery of Smolensk , aud
wtmse funeral erpense * wore defrsjed
tbronpb the chantj of a few American citi
zens bere resident , to pte the following
facts
"On learning tbe lamentaole facts con
nected with the death and burial ol General
PomuU , 1 became anxious to learn the full
particular * of the case , and I am now able to
report that two lot-k boxes have boon found
in tb possession of tbe orphans' tribunal in
wnit-h ure contained till of tbe valuable wipers
of his entire Ufa In simple justice Jvish to
rejiort that it does not appear to be the fault
of the loc.il authorities that these effects have
been thus retained oy them , as they are pre
pared to show that these boxes have never
been ashed lor until now. Furthermore , the
authorities are perfwtlj willing to do anj -
thing in their power to further any investi
potion that may soeia advisable.
There is everv evidence that General
Pomutr was an honest and good man , a man
of prominence also , and of great culture and
education , as bis business papers , written in
eight different languages in bis own hand ,
cieaily shows , aud. furthermore , a man re
ceived br the best t eople of this city , as in
dicated by the many invitations to court balls
and imperial soirees found amonp his papers
lu these boxes 1 end letters and testimonials
from many of the promir > ent statesmen of our
country , as well as letters highly compli
mentary from Giant , Sherman , Logan ,
Grcsham , Belknap , Hickenlooper and many
other distinguished generals of tno union
army.
"Among the otbei effects of General Pomutz
now in possession of the consul general I find
the credentials of promotion in the army to
various ranks , from lieutenant , colonel to
brevet brigadier general of United States
volunteers , tbe latter commission being
signed May 19 , IsM , by Andrew Johnson ,
President , and Edwin M Stauton , Secretary
of Vt ar. 1 find also a certificate of member
ship as a companion in the military order of
tbe loyal lepion. United States couimandery
of the state of Pennsvlvania , April G , 1S7S4
Jt appears , too , that be was a member of tbe
order of the Blue Arrow , and was for some
years treasurer and historian of tbe same ,
his bistonal notes being preserved among his
( Sects now foetid.
' Furthermore , I learn from his papers that
be had prepared a complete history of his
regiment , the Fifteenth Iowa , in which be
gives a biography ot every man tinder his
command. The data of this history are here
preserved. The certificate of his honorable
discharge from tbe service of the United
States , under general order No. 20 , army of
tbe Tennessee , and signed by Brigadier
General A. Hiclionloo { > er , is among his papers.
I find , also , that he was a member of the
Ancient Order of Free and Aoceptod Masons ,
Pvthaporas lodge No. M , of the citv of New
York.
"Among other matters of interest I may
note that 1 find a cigar carefully enwrapiea
and tied with the national colors of the
United States , and labelled 'The last cigar of
a box given me Dy General Grant when he
vis.it.ed St. Petersburg in his trip around the
world. ' In connection with this apparently
triflinp incident permit me to add that Gen
eral Pomutz , because of his familiarly with
the methods ol this government and because
of his tact and general knowledge of the
European languages , was of great service to
General Grant when president of the United
States in the amicable settlement of the dif
ferences between the two countries groxving
out of tbe unfortunate Catacasy affair. "
The most serious part of this rejiort is as
follows :
"Among the effects of General Pomutz are
found deeds to many piucus of propertv
town lots in New Buda , Ja. , a steam mill"in
Decatur county. Iowa , Jour or five farms In
Missouri , and as many more In the state of
Iowa. These deeds represent on their faces
large sums of money , some of them dating
back to tbe time of the breaking out of the
war of the rebellion. There are also leases ,
contracts , mortgages and many notes of
hand against different people and in favor
of George Pomutz , There is nothing but tbe
lapse of time to show that any of these
papers are valueless.
"There was absolutely nothing left in the
boxes that has the least marketable value
cere , neither do I find any evidence that he
left any papers testamentary , nor any inti
mation" surviving heirs to his estate. "
"That such a man as Georpe Pomutz a
good titireu and a universal scholar enter

pinning of the cml w ar , a brave soldier
seriously wounded at Shiloh. conspicuous at
the siege and battle of Corinth , lieutenant
