KiiIsd while smoking "a Pipe.

A stranger took deck passage on the
steamer Phil Allin, from Friar's Point
to Memphis, last Saturday afternoon.
After wandering about the deck for some
time he sat down on bale Of cotton,
lighted his pipe and commenced smok-
ing About this time the mate, Henry
Powers, came along, and seeing the i'm
minent danger TO which the man was
snbjecting the boat by the reckless
smoking Of pipe in the midst Of so
much inaamable material told him to
get down, and probably being in hurry
to see his commands obeyed, assisted
him with his fist, Some say. the mate
knocked the man of the bale of cotton
and kicked him to death afterward.
But this is disputed by other eye-wit-
nesses. At any rate the man, who was
in feeble condition anyhow, died within
a half hour after being knocked down.
The body was brought TO this city, and
an inquest held by Squire Spellman,
when the following verdict was rendered
by the jury, two of them signing it un-
der protest, not believing that Mr.. Pow
ers was guilty in the matter: "That the
unknown man came to his death from
feebleness of health, aided by violence
received at the hands of W. H. Powers,
mate of the steamer Phil Allin." When
the boat reached this city Mr.. Powers
gave himself Up to the authorities and
was lodged in thestation house.
