Remains Found Floating la the Water by Net ro Fishermen Yesterday at Nooa. No Evldeace of Fool Play Burled at Oak Grove. The body of D. James Byrd, the white man employed by the city as a member of the street force and who so mysteriously disappeared from his home, at Third and Wright streets, four weeks ago last Saturday night, was found yesterday at noon, floating in the river opposite Point Peter.above Wilmington, by two colored boys en gaged in fishing in the stream. The boys were horrified at the eight of the object and ran to Inform some colored men at work near the spot. The men came to the river's edge and towed the body ashore. Dr. C. D. Bell, the coroner, was notified of the find and upon his ar rival the body.'which had not hitherto been identified, was found to be that of the missing man. A pass book was found on the corpse, bearing the name of D. James Byrd, and several of Byrd's fellow employes on the street force . corroborated the fact from a view of the body, al though it was badly decomposed. A purse was found on the person and identified. It contained $3.52 in silver. Dr. Bell found no evidences of foul play; the skull and all other bones were perfectly ntactland therefore no inquest was held. The finding of the money disposed conclusively of the theory that the man had been robbed and thrown overboard. The body was found face downward and near a raft logs in the river. Byrd's family having removed from the city and the remains having re quired Immediate burial, they were turned over to County Undertaker King at once and Interred in Oak Grove cemetery. The family consists of eight children,' three of whom are grown and five others small. A mar ried sister lives in Wilmington, but the others, being left without ,any- aupport, found it necessary soon after the disappearance of their father to move to the country. They could not be reached in time to get to Wilming ton yesterday. Their mother died five years ago. The deceased was 47 years of age and moved with his family to Wil mington about four years ago from Farmer's Turnout, He had just been paid off the night he disappeared and was accompanied to the market by one of his little daughters by whom he sent home some provisions. About 1 o'clock Sunday morning he was seen on the streets and the presump tion is that he fell overboard from some of the city docks in the southern part of the city and that his body was carried up the river by the tide. When found the body was dressed In a tight- fitting black suit and a new pair of shoes, evidently purchased with apart of the money which he had been paid Saturday night. ' APPRECIATED BY BIS HOUSE.
