Yesterday an anonymous letter was
dropped at he Adams street station
house, which, when examined, was found
to contain evelation mysterious and
suggestive of rime.
The document stated that the atten-
ton Of the Chi Of of Police and the cor
oner was calle to the death Of white
woman named Anna Weber or Anna
Stewart, who died near the corner Of
Second and Pc plar street on Saturday
evening, and whose remains were to be
buried at the ce metery yesterday. The
letter writer believed that foul play was
the cause Of her death. The interesting
document was signed Humanity"
Chief Athy, attended by three physi-
clans and the coroner, visited the ceme-
terry yesterday afternoon, and jury of
inquest was summoned to investigate
the allegeu mystery.
The physicians examined the body
and came to the conclusion that the wo-
man had died natural death, no trace
of poison being observable. DR.. Tyner,
who attended the woman during her
brief illness, disse nted, aud gave it as
his opinion that sh had died from the
effects of poisoning. Other testimony
was brought out, but nothing appeared
to give color to the charge made by
" Humanity" The jury returned a
verdict of death from natural causes,
and the sensation was over, which
caused no little annoyance to the hum
cry reporters pr sent.

Drowned In Wolf River.

Yesterday morning Esquire Spellman
held an inquest on the body of a negro
man, Thomas Joyce, found dead in Wolf
river near some RATS. The testimony
presented before the jury of inquest
showed that Joyce had been working at
saw-mill and had gone out last Satur-
day evening on the raft when he stepped
on a loose log which rolled over and
precipitated him into the water. He
rose few times but was unable to get
back on the raft. The jury returned
verdict of death from accidental drown
ing" This morning a complaint was
lodged with the Chief of Police, to the
effect that the body of the drowned man
was yet on the bank of the river and
unburied The county undertaken will
perform the funeral rite this afternoon.

Notice TO Grocers.

An unprincipled firm have recently
been copying our advertisements entire,
with the single exception of substituting
their name in place of ours. The impo
sition, although well calculated to de,
ceive your customers, can be easily
avoided by little care on your part to
see that DooLEY's YEAST POWDER is the
one they are searching for. While the
action of the party only adds further
testimony to the popularity of our Yeast
Powder, we deem this caution necessary,
not only for your protection but that Of
the customer. DooLEY & BROTHER, 6s

Several of our merchants, who have

the Mississippi and Tennessee railroads
say the cotton and corn crops all along

many planters will be unable to feed
themselves next year. As for paying

their merchants the thing is absolutely

for the coming year. Judged by
its proceedings in Chicago last week,
and by the character and ability of
those who took part In those pro-
ceedings, this feminine Congress is
deserving of the support Of every
sensible and true woman in Ameri-
ca, and entitled to the respect of
the genuine philanthropists and
progressivists Of both sexes. 1t
differs from the "woman's rights
and "women's suffrage" zealots and
inpracticables, inasmuch as it dis
cussess, with dignity and ability,
question and propositions pertain
ing to the physical, intellectual,
moral, legal and general advance
ment of the sex. In other words, it
deals with practical, instead of mere
ly visionary topics.
