FOUND DROWNED.
A wen-Known Shoemaker Gone.

An inquest was held about Ave
o'clock yesterday afternoon by the
coroner, on the remains Of G. +.
Kirchner, a shoemaker, whose body
was found in the river near the foot
OF Irrelevant street. Some boys out
in a skiff first saw the body aAoat in
the river opposite Jefferson street, but
were afraid to touch it; hence it lodged
of its own volition at the point named
or was towed in by a couple of men,
who went out from the foot of Beal
street. Kirchner was last seen alive
on Saturday. He had been drinking
quite hard for some months, and he
wasted his earnings in gaming and
other excuses, so that he was unable
to square accounts with a family who
boarded his four motherless children.
This worried his mind and kept him
in an unsettled state. Several days
ago he urged the leather dealers to
whom he was indebted, to take
the stock out of his place of business,
at No. Z Madison street, as he was un-
able to pay the rent. This was done
in accordance with his request, but
the goods were held so that if he
should rent another shop he could get
them again. He doubtless placed
himself under the influence of the
cup and made way with himself Sat-
urday night or Sunday morning.
Kirchner was a good workman and a
clever man, but since his wife died
with the fever last summer, he has
thrown himself away considerably,
and often lost custom by his inattcn-
ton to duty. The verdict of the iu-
quest was found drowned"

This firm pays a government revenue

For some days past deputy sheriff
A. j. Harris has been laying for a
young man of the journalistic brother
hood, whose iondness for pranks are
something after Dundreary Sothern's
appctite-considerably after, too. The
plan was laid yesterday, in revenge for
a journalistic onslaught which appear
ed the day before, and in which Harris
was a victim. The young man was
invited to take a horseback ride to the
country with Harris, and seeing a
horse hitched to a post, not far from
the Adams street stationhouse, he was
induced to mount, under the belief
that il was a county horse. About the
time the mounting ceremony took
place, Mr.. Harris lodged behind a
door in the livery stable near by, and
just then the countryman to whom
the animal belonged hove in sight,
said " git" aud the y. m. stood not
upon the order but got. The sheriff.
