The Missing Merchant Found
Dead.


From the Nashville Hammer.
There we're many who heard anC
wondered why the First Presbyterian
bell tolled Sunday afternoon. i
seemed all the more mysterious be
cause of the absence of any funeral
cortege from the streets, The fact
that it was rung, apparently without
a visible cause. provoked inquiry,
It was the signal to those who were
around the city still In. search of the
missing merchant, Mr.. 81. B. Allen,
that he had been found. While il
proved q signal to them, it also
sounded the knell OF his death.
The body of Mr.. Allen was found
in the midst of cane brake, three
miles from the city, between the
Hydcs Ferry and Buena Vista pixies,
at about half past / O'Clock Sunday
morning. by FIVE negroes employed
to make the search through the cane
brake.
When found his body was perfect
ly timber, on which account he was
supposed to have expired that morn
ing. There still remained upon his
person book and papers showing
that be had not been robbed or vio-
lently dealt with.
Coroner Brantly held an inquest
over his body and the jury rendered
a verdict. in substance, that he wan
dered to the spot where found while
laboring under g temporary aberra-
tion of mind, caused by severe
spell Of neuralgia, and that he died
from illness and exposure.
Mr. Aliens remains were taken to
his late residence on South High
street. The funeral ceremonies will
take place st McKendree church at
II this morning. Rev. Drs. Young,
Hill and Hsrgrove officiating.

medicine he had been using morphine

On Wednesday he purchased one
grain of morphine at Hendershott's
drug store and took quarter of a
grain of this before leaving the store.
1t would have required q dose ofsev-

scriptionist, to have dangerously af-
fected him. Before lying down at
night he took another dose and rest
