Death OF L. S. Davis, of Davenport.

l.. S. Davis, of the we'll known firm #
John L. Davis 4 Son, lumber dealers and
owners of the two large saw mills, died at
his residence in that city on Monday after.
noon of disease of the brain. The Gazette
accounts for his sudden death as follows:
For ten days previous to his death he
had suffered intensely from pains in his
head, resulting from brain troubles which
probably had their first development 10 a
partial stroke of paralysis which occurred
about eight years ago, and which trouble
doubtless had origin in terrific blow upon
his head received in being thrown from a
buggy, by a runaway horse, on Harrison
street, about fourteen years ago, Under
that severe accident, Mr.. Davis lay
unconscious for two days and doubtless
never recovered from its effects. Yesterday
afternoon, these had their elimination.
After eating his dinner with apparent
relish, and lying down on the lounge. at
about half past four o'clock sudden
change came over him; apparently the
result of rush of blood to the head. DR.. J.
W. Ii. Baker was summoned, restoratives
applied, and in an hour he seemed so much
better that the physician left him. Soon
after, another change resulted, rapidly for
the worse, and at 1880 he passed away as
quietly as though in sleep.
The deceased was native of Davenport
and was IS years old. was graduate oil

Ills father. in 1879. has controlled and
managed one Of the largest lumber inter.
ests in this section. His death will be

A Curious Blunder.

A French gentleman lately journeyed
to Marseilles, taking with him the body
of his mother-in-law, who had expressed
wish to be buried in the family vault
in that city. When he reached Mar
settles and went with the Commissioner
of Police to receive the body from the
railway officials, he noticed that the
coffin was not that which he had deliv-
cred to them. The officials had sent to
Toulon the coffin containing his mother
in-law's body, believing that it held the
remains of a deceased Admiral, which
were to be embarked for interment in
Algeria, while the the coffin awaiting
delivery was the one which should have
been sent on. The gentleman having
requested the officials to communicate
at once with Toulon by telegraph, pro-
ceeded thither himself with the coffin of
the Admiral. He ascertained when he
got there that the first coffin had been
duly received, taken on board, amid the
thunder of fort and of fleet, the State
vessel which was waiting for it, and
dispatched to Algeria. He al once call
ed upon the maritime project of Teulon
and explained the circumstances of tie
case, but though a dispatch-boat was
sent in pursuit, the other vessel was not
overtaken. he is now at Toulon await
ing her return, and declines TO give up
the coffin containing the deceased Ad-
miral until he regains possession of his
mother in-law's remains.
