" In the Midst of Life we are in
Death"

We are called upon this morning to
chronicle no less than four sudden
deaths-all of whom were, within q
few hours past, in good health n
vigor. The first of these was
DIR. LANE,
q gentleman who had earned for him
self a well merited reputation as a
chiropodist, and who was widely
known as one of the first in his pro-
fession, not only in Memphis, but IN
other Southern cities, was taken i'll at
his rooms at the PeabOdy%On Sunday,
and after suffering intensely all Sun
dav night, expired about seven
O'Clock Monday morning. Nothing
is known of DIR. Lanes history or
| relatives, except that he came from
Philadelphia, where he practiced his
profession several years. His remains
were kindly cared for by Col. COckrell,
who is never found wanting when his
| services are demanded in the u oil
humanity.
DIR. j. F. LESLIE,
the veteran dentist, who formerly kept
a dental furnishing warehouse in this
city, died at No. 279 Main street, yes
terday morning, about two O'Clock, Of
congestion of the brain. DR.. Leslie
was on the streets day before yester-
day in his usual health. His funeral
notice will be found elsewhere.
MRS. MARIE GoLAY,
an elderly and highly respectable
French lady, died yesterday of lnJu-
ries received during the stampede at
the execution on Friday. Mrs. Goiay
has two sons who are river men, and
a few weeks ago one of them bought
her a place at Summit, Mississippi.
The idea of having to leave Memphis,
where she had formed many local at
taehments, seemed to prey upon her
mind. and she repeatedly was heard
to say that she prayed Heaven that
something would prevent her from
going thither. On Friday last she
went to witness the execution of Gal
vim and Moody-a proceeding so to-
tally at variance with her well known
character, that it excited no little won
der in the minds of those acquainted
with her. Becomingd disguised Within
brutal and obscene language OF the
crowd that she had fallen among, just
before Calvin was led out to die, she
left the scene and started for home,
She had not proceeded more than
square, working her way amid the
thrOng, before the stampede took place
and in the crush which followed SHE
was thrown under foot and run oyel
by a wagon, which broke three of hel
! ribs, and her collar bone. From these
? injuries she died yesterday. He
funeral notice will be found under th'
, proper head. Mrs. Golay was abOu
sixty years old and leaves quite alarg'
l circle Of sOrrowing friends.
