White man nrouned.

This morning a negro discovered the
floating body Of an unknown white man
in Bayou Gayoso, at the Orleans street
crossing, near Broadway, South Mem.
phis. Coroner Britt repaired to the
place and held an inquest on the re.
mains. The hoater was about twenty.
six years old, six feet in hight, auburn
hair, light whiskers and goatee. He
wore a pair of dark jeans pants, check
cred dark vest, linen coal and heavy
boots. Nothing was found on his per-
son that could possibly lead to the iden.
tity of the drowned man. 1t is believed,
however, that be had been employed at
the Fort Pickering wooden factory, while
others stated that they thought he had
been working for Louden & Co. on the
streets. The body was taken charge Of
by County Undertaken Walsh and will
no donbt be identified this afternoon. 1t
is supposed that late last night he at
tempted to cross the foot-bridge at the
Orleans street crossing, and the bridge
being a wreck, owing to the high waters,
he stepped into the stream accidentally
the night being dark and stormy.
