why Mr.. Arms is looking for Mr.. Bats.
Since our Board of Health settled down
to work, a great deal of form has to be OBJ
served by our citizens in dying, or rather
in being buried. Under the new regime, a
body cannot be consigned to the silent
tomb until a certificate has been properly
signed, setting forth the date OF the death,
age. sex and color of the deceased; whether
single or married, nativity, former occupa-
tion. residence, cause of death, and the
names of the attending physician and I'M
deTtaker.

AHorrihIe Nuisance.

Among the inmates of the county Jail IS
that poor demented creature known as '.the
Woman in White" whose uncleanly habits
andIflthy clothing cause the entire building
to be filled with a stencil which is nearly
overpowering. At night she sings and
banks like prairie wolf, effectually pre-
venting the prisoners at the Jail from sleep
ing and rendering their condition almost
intolerable, as their cells are so not during
the day, as TO make life a burden 10 lne uh'
fortunates who occupy them
If This woman cannot be admitted to the
Insane ASYLUM. she should be sent to the
County Asylum where she can be provided
for much better than at the Jail. While a
ITNTON AND AMERICAN reporter was visit
ing the Jail yesterday, some lime was
placed in front Of her cell, and she instantly
filled both hands with the lime which she
rubbed over her face.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Suicide Of Henry w. Miller in Edge
field.

Va
field.
Henry w. Miller shot himself near the
heart with a Smith and WessOn revolver at
half past eleven o'clock Monday night, at
his home on Spring street, Edgefield, and
died about three O'Clock yesterday morning.
For the past two or three weeks he had
been suffering from depression of spirits,
and seemed to have something weighing
heavily upon his mind.
Just before taking his life, he was in
room cOnversing with his brother William,
whom he requested to leave the apartment.
His brother prevailed on him to retire, after
which he put wet cloth on his head and
left him resting quietly. In few mo-
ments after leaving the room, he heard the
report of pistol, and running back found
that the deceased had shot himself near the
heart. The ball entered the left nipple
and came out near the spine.
In reply ID a question by one OF his
brothers as to why he had attempted to end
his life, he merely responded ''cause," and
that was the only word Of explanation he
gave.
1t is thought that be was not in posses
sion Of his right mind, from the fact that
he had suffered from something like sun
stroke in Springfield day or two ago,
whence he returned on Monday at o'clock.
From that time until he shot himself, his
conduct was very peculiar.
The deceased was twenty-five years OF
ace. and was, until quite recently, employed
i'm the Office Of B. F. Parker, the Cherry
street ice dealer.
Coroner Brantley summoned the follow
inc Jury and held an inquest over the re-
mains: A. q. Scruggs, John Earthman,
RILEY Phillips. Robert Stewart, q. y. Hey
man. w. VI. Weber, w. J. Arlington and
DR.. : NJ Jamison.
The verdict of the jury was ''That III. w.
Miller came to his death by pistol shot,
fired bv his own hand"

EAGER FOR DEATH.
Suicide Of DR.. Thes. r. Jennings, at
Narragansett Pier, r. l.,
Yesterday.
His Professional Career, and the PrObi
able Canse Of the Terrible, Deed.

The announcement that DIR. ThOs. r.
Jennings. of this city, committed suicide
at Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island, yester-
day morning, will be received with great
regret by the community. An Associated
Press dispatch stating that the melancholy
event occurred at his hotel, but giving no
other particulars except the fact that his
niece, a daughter Of Ex-Governor Henry A.
Wise, of Virginia, was with him, was re-
ceived at this Office last night.
No physician stood higher in Nashville,
or throughout Tennessee, than DIR. Jen-
nings; in fact, for over thirty years he was
regarded as az the very head Of his probes
sion. He was a son Of Rev. Obadiah Jen-
nings Wise, pastor of the First PresDy-
terrain Church some forty years ago, and
vas bern In Pennsylvania. He pracised
medicine in Cincinnati and removed
thence TO Nashville when quite a young
man. His professional career in Nashville
extended over foTty-iiye years. During
that time he devoted considerable at
tention to politics, and was a wing OF
very psprornced views. As a speaker, he
was very effective, and his influence was
felt in the exciting political contests OF
ante-bellum days.
When the war broke out, Or. Jennings
adhered to the Union, though his loyalty
never led him to denOuAce or prescribe
these who differed with him at that unhappy
period, The war ever, ne man was more
determined in his opposition TO Radical
misrule in Tennessee:
Late in life DR.. Jennings married MARY
Courtney, daughter of Col. Courtney d
wealthy planter of Louisiana. HIS siste,
was the second wife of ex-Gov. Wise, oil
| Virginia, one of whose sons, Obadiah Jen-
nin@s Wise; was killed on the Confederate
side at the battle OF Rcsnolse Islands
During the war, DIR. Jennings had an al
tack of illness which is supposed to have
seriously impaired his mind. His heavy
pecuniary losses at that time and the sub
sequent death of his wife also had theil
effect. Some three years ago, he
attempted his own life by taking
morphine, and it was deemed necessary &c
remove him to an asylum in New York
He remained there some time, and theI
went abroad. After his return he visited
his relatives in Virginia. by whom
he was watched over with tender
solicitude. Recent letters from him to hi:
friends in this city seemed to indicate thai
he was in his right mind and that the old
| trouble had vanished.
| DR.. Jennings was about SeyentYtWC
/ wears old and left no children
