DEATH OF Mr.. RICHARD T, FosrER. The
many friends Of Mr.. P.ichard Il. Foster
formerly of Petersburg but recently OF this
city, will regret the announcement Of bis
death, which occurre' / shortly after midnight
on Thursday. MIR. foster was at one time q
merchant in Stau .ntop, bat more recently
came to this city with view of starting an
insurance compa ny. He had been in excel.
lent health for Tome time past, and his sud.
den and rem Arkabie death will cause bis
many friends in this city as well rs In other
sections Of tle State upfeigned sorrow. On
Thursday afternoon he was upon the street,
apparently quite well. and about s O'Clock
went to Mr.. Polk Miller's drugstore, on
Msin and Ninth streets, and asked Mr. Mil.
Ter to p at him up four grains of morphine in
balf.grain powders. He stated that he de.
sired the medicine for a physician 10 the
| country who had sent him the order, and
inquired Of Mr.. Miller whether he did moi
think it rather foolish in country physician
to want morphine powders divided, for 9
person could take the whole Of them with
out doing him any harm. Mr. Miller re-
piled that four grains would kill person
After further conversation the morphine
was prepared as Mr.. Foster had directed
and he left the store.
| just 0ef0re ml0nlgnt MT. W. ". Ioler, vi
the police force, was surprised to hnd Mr.
Foster lying 10 the door OF the Theatre, in
sensible and apparently very sick. MOI
knowing Mr.. Fosters place of residence
Dir. Toler determined, with the assistance o.
Policeman Finnegan, to remove him to The
Second police station, and summon medica
aid. They did so, and Drs. c. W. p. Brocl
and J. S. Wexford were sent for. They
found Mr.. Foster in critical condition, ant
sent down to DR.. w. 81. Taylor to borrow {
battery for the purpose Of restoring the un
fortunate gentleman TO consciousness. DIR
Taylor had none that could then be used
however, and before the messenger returned
Mr.. Foster died.
In view OF all the circumstances DR.. TayO
deemed it necessary to hold an inquest upol

Fearful Loss of Life Reported.
New ORLEANS, April 23.--Tbe steamboats,
John Kyle, Exporter, and Charles Bodmau,
at the foot of Poydras street, were burned to
the waters edge to-day. Many lives are
said to be lost.
[Second DiSpatch.l
New ORLEANS, April 23.-Tbe fire orisi.
nsted in the blacksmith shop Of the John
Kyle. Captain Hutchinson, of that steamer,
thinks that everybody on board was saved,
as he gave timely warning. The cabin OF
the Kyle was enYeloped in fumes in two
minutes after the alarm. The Kyle drifted
against The Exporter and Bodmin, and the
three boats drf.ed in:0 The stream. The
people on board the Exporter jumped
aboard the Bodman, which also caught fire.
The three vessels soon buried to the waters
edge.
The number of lives lost i, estimated at
from twenty to one hundred. The COM
mander of The United States steamer Kansas
sent boats 10 the rescue, and they saved thir.
teen lives. The jobbing tug.boats made no
effort to save life. There was an excursion
party from Cincinnati or Pittsburgh on
board one OF the steamers, many of whom,
1t is feared, are lost. The daughter of Cap
tain Reese, of the Exporter, was lost. Cap.
tain Shenkle, CT the Bodmar, was badly
burned, and bis son was lost.

WE have received an ''adGress to the peo-

Southwestern Pacific Railroad" with re-
quest to print, with which we shall not COM
ply. 1t is issued by the executive committee
of the citizens of St. Louis and other friends
of Mr.. Tom Scott's railroad, inviting the peo-
pie to send delegates to a convention called
at that city November 23d, to take measures
to force through Congress bill granting aid
to the enterprise named. The writer of the
address had done his work well. He has
shown that it will be of vast advantage to the
country and will prove great financial sue
cess. All that is required is that the govern
ment will guarantee five per cent interest on
contraction bonds necessary to build 1900
miles of railway in comparatively desert
country, which means to pay the interest to
the maturity of the bonds and then pay the
principal. That's what guaranty means in

The Nation reviewing the business out
look says the autumn trade has made good
progress during the week, and in some de-
partments there has been degree of activity
not witnessed for several seasons. The rule,
however, with buyers continues to be to take
small lots, make quick sales, and replenish
stock frequently. Under favorable circum-
stances, such as seasonable weather. country
traders can buy goods for ''cash," and turn
them into money, and make their payments
to city jobbers, within the time which the
term "cash" covers. In business like this no
paper is made, and the extent to which it is
carried on is an explanation of the small stock
of mercantile paper in tho market. The
favorable side of this kind of business is its
entire safety to all concerned; the unfavora-
BILE side is that it betokens lack of confidence
in the future. The cropsi of the country
meet the highest expectations; the lowest
estimate for cotton is 4,25O,OOO bales, and
from this it runs up to 4650,000 bales. With
such crop, even at low price, the South
particularly and the country generally cannot
fail to be largely benefited. Other Southern
crops, like sugar and rice, are also exception
ally good. In the West, wheat will be
above the average, and the corn crop will the
largest ever produced. A low price for cot
ton is inevitable, both because of the i'm
mense crop and the depressed condition of
manufacturing interests here and in England.
During the week there has been decline
in breadstuffs, the foreign markets having for
the time been overstocked by the heavy ship
ments there in July and August, when it was
thought the European harvests had failed;
the continued disorder of the foreign-ex-
change market has also worked against the
breadstuf markets. Notwithstanding all this
however, it is known that Europe wants and
must have~a larger amount of grain from US
than during the past twV years, and later in
the season the movem ut is expected to
reach large proportions, p.ovided the foreign
exchange market can he kept free and clear.

LYNCHING in a country where the laws are
enforced is an outrage at best, but the recent
one in Bellefontaine, Ohio, proves to be a
murder. The facts as first given seemed in
credible. The man was acc lsed on the testi-
mony of his wife of the rape and murder of
woman. Now it appears that instead of the
lynched man being the murderer, his wife
killed her through jealousy and lad the deed
to her husband. In the frenzy of the first
declaration of the woman, the lynching was
done, but now that the excitement is passing
away reaction in public sentiment has TAX
en- place and an investigation is going on,
which is bringing out the facts; one of which
is that the dead woman's hand grasped lock
ofhair torn out in the struggle which proves
to be from the head of the wife of the ynched
man.

IT appears that it is not the system of po-
litical assessment that the "reform party"
objects to, but the form. Like the Spartans,
they believe the sin is in being found out, and
so in Ohio, while raking right and left at the
Republicans for asking aid of officials, they
have invented plan which at least has the
merit of novelty. The officials in the state
who holds Office as the gift of the Democrat
ic party, receipts his monthly pay roll for the
full amount, but receives only ninety per-
cent of that amount, the balance being trans
ferred to the Democratic committee. The
plan is a charming one-for "reformers.N
