Lee yesterday returned the following ver? dict "We, the jury, find that Ed? ward G. Lee came to his death in the Potomac river at the foot ol street southwest, 00 Sunday, July 17, by drowning, as the result of an unavoid able ac.cident." Ashaa previously been stated the collision between the steamer Harrv Randall and the gasoline launch ol the schooner yacht Mist, of the Capi? tal Yacht Club late Sunday night, re sultcd ia thedrowniigof Lee, whowas actlog ai engineer of the launch. Prob nblv the most important point brought OUt by the mvestigation was the fact thal tha launch was without ateering gear and that alter ita aeparatimi Irom tha aailiog yacht Miat by the braahiag of the tow rope connected with the yacht, it was entirely unmangeable. this seemed to explain the unrestricted ofthe launch toward the steamer which urminated in the collision and the throwing of Lee beneath the paddle wheels.

Cliarfcea Attainst Lieutenant Smith, Prel'erred by William 11. Travera, to be Investijiated Tonight, Together with on Officers Lyles nnd Arrington Made in the Corpora tioii Court During the Burneit. Wrenn Lawler Declares that AIn.ih One-half ofthe Force irtually Do Nothing. The regular monthly meeting of tbe Board of Police Coiuinissionere was held last night. No business was transacted, but con siderable discussion marked the meet? ing.

Mr. secretary of the board, read the minutes r.f the June meeting, by which it appeated that the commis sioners had then been discussing tha proeedure (d Olficers Lyles and Arring tou in tonnection willi tbe arrest of Kichard C. Bumett and Henry Wrenn, who 014 the 13th ot April were in tcrcepted bv Ollicers Smith and Allen while on a wagon on their way down Prinee street in the night time. In the wagon were articles alleged to have been stofen from Washington Southern Rail? way cars. The facts in connection with the case are as follows The authorities had been notified that cars had been en? tered and goods taken therefrom, and a box and some soap labels were found in ihe yard of a colored woinan named Rebecca Quill, they having.

it was al? leged, been placed there by a colored man uamed Henry Brown. The latler was subsequeutly arrested. Officers Lyles and Arrington traced the stolen goods to Wreun's place where it was evident they had been sold. The officers went to Wreun's atore and he acknowledged that he had purchased the goods from Brown and promised to deliver them at the station house that night. The officers searched the place, but lailed to find where they had been depoaited.

In the meantime Lieutenant Smith asccrtained that Wrenn had that morning disposed of three pairs of shoes to a second-hand dealer in this city. He also aecured other inlormation which led him to believe tbat the goods taken from the cars were at Wrenn's store. He accordingly repaired thithor and found Ollicers Lyles and Airiugton on the preiniaes. The officers stated that tbey had searched tbe place, but they failed to inform the lieutenant of the fact that Wrenn had made a confeasion to them. Tbe lieutenant determined to aearch the place himaelf.

He found nothing, nlthough it ia now auggeated lhat the ollicers lailed to enter a loft be the ceiling aud the roof. Messrs. LvUs and Arrington went off duty that day, believing that Wrenn would fullill his promise to them and carry the goods to the station house. Sometime during the early part of the night Wrenn, in company with Richard Burnett, was seen by Offieera Smith and Allen to emerge on a wagon from the area be? tween Burnett's and Wrenn's bouses at the Stone bridge aud proceed east to wards Payne atreet. They turned north into that thoroiighfare and upon reach iug Prinee street turned eaat again.

A train of freight carahad bloeked Fayette street, and the wagon was atopped mid way the square 111 the shadow of the houses aud under some trees. The otfi 0M1 appeared at this point and took the two men in custody. In addition to a iniacellaneoua lot ol gooda a pistol, a bot? tle of whisky and some cigars were lound in th'e wagon. Burnett and Wrenn asserted that they were on their way to the atation house. The subse cpuent evenla and the trial of the men be? fore the Corporation Court are ol recent date and are slill freah in the minds of newspnper rcafJera.

Coinmonwealth Attorney Brent dur? ing the examination of the caae in the Police Court made eertain atrictures upon Ollicera Lylea and Arrington noi Wrenn upon own con lession; alao for neglecting to report hia inlormation to Lieutenant Smith when he arrived at Wrenn's place or to Chiel Wcbster, who had directed the officers to endcavjr to loeate tbe stolen goods and identify the thieves. Mr. Brent during the trial of the caae iu the Corporatiou Court reiteratcd hia criticisms in bis ar gunient before the jury, while Mr. Mon cure, who defended Wrenu and Buruett, made the assertion that varitMiccs be? tween members of the police force en? tered prominently in the case. It is iheae airictures the couimissioners desire to investigate and they have summoned all partiea counected with the charges before them tonight, and Judge Barley bas issued an order for the production of Wrenn before the commissionere.

There waa a general interchange of opinion among the comaiissioners after Mr. Lawler had read articles from the Gazette in connection with the arrest aud tria! ol theaccused. All tbe corn inissioners were anxious to have the charges investigated at once some aaying that if the charges were substantiated the accused should be dismissed from the force; if innnoccnt they should be so de? clared. Mayor Simpson gave a resume ofthe Burnett-Wrenn case, as well as the part the difl'erent ollicers took in the matter. Olficer Smith was called inand he an swcred certaiu queries propounded him by the Mayor and commissioners.

Mr. Sniiih denied that there were factional lights among members of the police lorce, as stated by Mr. Moncure, counsel for Wrenn, during the trial iu the Cor noration Court. It was finally decided to aummon witnesses and iuvestigate tbe matter at au adjourned meeting tonight. During the meeting W.

H. Travera appeared before the board and made formal charges ofassault against Lieu tenaut Smith. The assault took place at the Old Dominiou Glass Works on the 29th of last month, The case was set for tonight. Before adjournment Mr. Lawler aaid be desired to call the atteution of tbe board to the fact that about one-half of the pdiccmen virtually do uoth ing but appear at the City Treasurer's office once a month and draw their salaries.

The iawsconcerni were ignorrd, Ightl OOCOnon and the participants were not arrested, torpedoes were placed on railway tracks and dis lurbances were olten reported in vanous quartera of the city. He cited news paper items in corroboration of his statements. If, he aaid, there were dronea the force tbe board should be appns ed of the fact, and in order to obtain "'is information be offered a resolution rerpjires the chief to make monthly the board of the number of arrests and by wbom; tbe nuiaanceii ordisturbances reported and by ahortan exhibit which will show what i each ui. niber of the force is doing. Mayor Siuipson said thatMr.

Lawler'a observations correct in regard to some members ol the force. Mr. Lawler, amoug other thinga, aaid chronic nuisance had been tolerated aitbin a stone's tbrow of ihe police sta? tion. He refeired to the condition of affairs in tbe yard adjoining the Brad dock House on ihe east. Mayor Simpson said tbe officers had notified tbe agent of the property of the nuisance complained of.
