Most Sadly Bereaved .

The death Of Mrs. Geo. P. Kelly occur
red last Friday evening, at her residence,
corner Of Gay and McLemore streets, and
her funeral took place at the Cathedral
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Kelly had been
sick but short time, and two days ago
telegrsphic dispatch WIS sent to her
daughter at Chattanooga, requesting her
to come without delay. The daughter
came in all possible haste, but did not ar
rive here until 2:3O yesterday afternoon,
at which lime preparations were
being made for the funeral. The first
intimation the daughter had of
her mothers death was the
sight Of the hearse and carriages az she ap-
preached the home of the loved one she
hoped to find alive. To her this was indeed
a sorrowful disappointment, for which no
human power could give relief or consola-
ton. Mr.. Kelly was absent il Memphis,
and ne, too, was telegraphed for, but did
not arrive until six o'clock yesterday eve
ming, after the funeral was OF er, being pre-
vented from reaching here by the delay &C.
casioned by the late accident The de-
ceased was reared in this city, and was well
known among the neighborhood where she
lived, where she resided for SO many wears.

Fatal Effect of the sun 20 a Laborer

Penttentiary Convict.
About month sgo a colored man
| named Jerry Jacobs was tried and con-
victed in the Davidson County Criminal
Court on the charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses. Shortly thereafter,
Jacobs was sent out to the Penitentiary to
begin service for the State in atonement
for his crime. He was last week attached
to the party of c0nvicts engaged in break
ing stone on the Capitol HID, and up to
three o'clock yesterday afternoon, had ex-
hibited no symptom of sickness or indica-
ton Of dissatisfaction with the hard fate
which had been assigned him. But at the
hour mentioned, the guard on duty OBJ
served that the conduct of Jerry Jacobs was
unusually wild, and his replies,
when spoken TO, ilcoherent and
unsatisfactory. He would toss pebbles at
The guard and others, and otherwise be-
have In such 8 manner as to indicate that
his reason had become unsettled. Without
complaining of sickness, the prisoner
ceased work and would not resume it when
commanded by the guard 10 do so. Final
ly he fell down in helpless condition, and
DIR. Hughes was Immediately summoned
to come to his aid The physician at once
obeyed the summons, but discovered that
he could then do no good-the unfortunate
man was beyond the reach of all human
aid, and within three minutes after the
doctors arrival was dead Coroner P. w.
Brien was apprised of the occurrence, and
organizing jury of inquest, proceeded to
an official examination CT the circumstances
attending the convicts death. Their YER
dict, rendered at five o'clock yesterday eff
ternoon, was to the effect that Jerry Jacobs
died from sunstroke.

Excitement in the New York Wool
Market.

NRw YORK, July An uncommon ex-
citement prevails, at present, in the usu-
slly quiet circle Of dealers in wool and
goods made of wool. The cause is the
sudden rise in the price of the staple, which
commenced some six or eight weeks ago,
and appears not as yet, 10 have reached its
full limit. Common Mexican, which used
to sell from eighteen to twenty cents a
pound, is selling at from thirty to thirty
two cents. Carpet woods, usually quoted
ct thirty cents, gold, are held at thirty
seven and a half cents. Cape woods have
gone up from thirty-five TO forty cents,
Australian wool from forty-two to fifty-twO
cents, and what are called extra feeces,
which are standard in the wool market
Ike middling in the cotton market, are
quoted at 61@64c, as against 47@5Oe Elk
weeks since. Even shearings, which are
the short wool which grows on sheep be-
tween the time of their shearing in the
spring aud their slsughtsring in the fall,
and ale used for making hats, sell at 4Oc
per pound, instead Of 25c, the old price.
The various woolan manufacturers at
home respond, Of course, to this rise in
the raw material. Carpet yarns have ad-
vanced from SIZE per pound to 6Oc per
pound
Two and three-ply carpets are twelve
and half PER cent dearer than they were,
and Brussels which recently fetched 81. 80
are held at S2.15. All kinds of wooden
cloth and clothing material have advanced
on an average 10 per cent, with an upward
tendency. The utmost activity is mani
tested in the trade. The manufacturers
have orders ahead for everything they can
make for several months to come, and as
is usual ihs fears of the retail dealers Of
higher prices still to come, lead them to
rush in and supply themselves at present
rates.
The reasons for the advance a-o 1aid TO

has the credit, with many ill-informed
people, of having engineered great corner

to take possession of carpet factory and
several wooden factories on which he had

Serious End 90 a JocUIo- GA,

SoEtOus Emu 10 n JOcui0r career.
A few months ego, 10 Woods made his
first appearance here in the tights and
| spangles Of circus clown, but early there
after the establishment with which he trav-
eled met with reverses of fortune, and at
some point not far from Nashville, quietly
sub sided beneath the memorable logic Of
an auctioneer's hammer. The funny occu-
patton of 10. Woods being thus gone, that
| individual drifted down towards an Eqyp-
tan city IN Illinois, sometimes known as
Cairo. AT that place it was the good or
bad fortune of the inimitable Joker to
make the acquaintance of dealer in prizs
candy packages, by whom he was Induced
to return to Nashville in the capacity of a
| soCl-stirring musician and valuable street
ialker. Shortly after arriving here, these
dealers in diminutive parcels of sweet
ness incurred the displeasure of
those who are empowered to zee
the law faithfully administered, and
again the occupation Of 10. Woods was
| gone. Shortly after this occurrence, it
was JOS misfortune to become infatuated
with the wearing apparel of a brother
bcarder at the down town hotel, and there
| arose "a slight suspicion" that he had ap-
P~cPAAnicu pO4tAOu VI LIS lIl6uu WdIU-
robe to his own use and benefit. The
attention of the grand jury of the Crimi-
nal Court was directed to the fact, and in
that tribunal Woods was furnished an OPP
portunity to prove, if possible, that he
was not the guilty party. He could not
do this, and tbs jury trying the Indictment
against him were forced to the unpleasant
necessity of rendering a verdict CT guilty,
and fixing his punishment at three years
confinement in the Pepitentiary. Last
Thursday the former clown, the imam
Of infinite jest and by some odds the best
bau-jC-isi of the saw-dust arena, went out
with others, to aid the State in practical
development of that portion Of her indus
trial resources confined within the walls of
the penitentiary. 10. Woods has the tai
ent necessary to a higher sphere Of exist
ence, and it Is 10 be hoped that after the
termination Of this little probation at the
State prison, he will exercise his ability in
some more profitable and commendable
rection.
