ANOTHER MURDER LAST wEDNEs
DAY NIGHT.
Victim No. 2, a COlOretl Sailor, F0un
In the Ship Lock at Rockets.

Victim No. 2, n COlOred Sailor, Found
In the Ship Lock at Rockets.
This morning about daylight Charles
Sniith, hand employed at the ship lock
at the lower end of the dock, discovered
the body of colored man floating upon
the surface ofthe water. He at once notified
Mr.. Hopkins the luck-keeper Of the fact,
who had a line made fast to the
arm of the man and had him
hauled above the gates. AS soon as
it became known that the body of man
had been found a number of persons Wis.
tied the place andI identified it as
that of Edward Taylor, missing sailor
from the schooner Baltimore, which halls
from New York. Acting Coroner VIM.
Ii. Crew was at at once notified, and
viewed the body without taking it out OF
the water, and has ordered an inquest,
which will be held this evening at four
o'clock.
The circumstances connected with the
affair, as far as we have been able to learn,
are as follows: On last Wednesday night
deceased, in company with colored
man named Harry Mitchell, also a sailor
on the schooner Baltimore, visited the
house of Emma Oakley, a woman of loose
morals, situated on the dock, between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, and
while there they, in company with other
girls in the house, discussed the propriety
of attending the ball on Byrd street at
which Mary Holmes, the unfortunate VIC
tim who was found between locks No. 2
and 3 last week, was seen. Concluding
that the weather was too unfavorable to
attend, they chatted gaily for some time,
when words of not very pleasant nature
began to flow about difficulty they had
in Philadelphia long while ago. Finally,
Harris Mitchell told Taylor that there was
plenty of water between Emma Oakley's
and the schooner 10 settle their difficulty
without having fight. Emma Oakley says
that Mitchell threatened Taylor's life sever
al times that night. About twelve o'clock
Mitchell and Taylor started for the schoon-
er together, since which time Taylor has
not been seen, until his body was found
this morning in the ship lock.
The schooner on which these men were
employed left on last Saturday, but as
Mitchell staid behind and Tyler hadn't
come to light. the captain after sailing
down the river some distance, returned
yesterday by steamer for hands, found
Mitchell and started off this morning on
the steamer Sylvester to oyertake his
schooner.
Emma Oakley says that Mitchell has been
to he house several times since the night
he was there in company with Taylor, and
that he always acted very strangely.
The authorities have doubtless overtaken
the murderer, as we.see no possible means
by which he can escape unless he browns
himself. which he is not likely to do, not
aware that he is suspected of the murder.

DEAD INFANT FoUND.-This morning
at an early hour, Mr.. George Smith, who
lives on Fourth street, between Clay and

premises. found the dead body of mu-
latto child. Acting Coroner Crew was at
once notified of the fact, and upon viewing
the body deemed an inquest unnecessary,
as it gave evidence of premature birth, and
no evidence was obtained to show how it
came there or who was the unnatural
mother.

cross and anchor of hope, and an exquisitely

altogether one of the most beautiful and

similarly tasteful manner. They are also
now filling three large orders for granite
monuments to 60 North, the high reputa-
ton of the Richmond granite for purity,
durability, and the beauty of finish it takes,
having already attracted the attention of
persons outside the state.
The beautiful granite monument erected

work of Messrs. Wilson & Sands; also the
beautiful figure representing the Angel of
