SICKNESS, DEATH AND BURIAL OF
Mr.. WILLIAM H. MORRIS.

From Mr.. II. II. Candec, who returned
from Chicago by the afternoon train, yes
terday, we learned the following particulars
concerning the sickness, death and burial
of our late and much esteemed felow-citi-
zen, Mr.. William H. Morris:
Mr.. Morris reached Chicago via. st.
Louis and Springfield, at both Of which
places he stopped over. When he arrived
in Wilmington, where his parents reside, he
discovered that he had taken cold but
gave the matter but little attention The
next day he was one Of party that made
the trip in sleigh, from Wilmington to
Kankakce and return, distance of forty
four miles. 1t was about five o'clock in the
morning when he returned from his trip,
and complaining seriously of the cold,
he took his bed and slept soundly until 12
o'clock. lie was somewhat ailing during
Thursday and Friday; but was well enough
10 visit Chicago on Saturday. He stopped
with his brother over night. and Sunday
attended church. Returning from service,
he complained Of feeling chilled,
through andthrough, and sat tor some time
directly over the register to warm himself.
lie didn't dine, and had partaken Of food
very sharingly at breakfast. During Sun
day night he moancd almost increasingly.
On Monday he was unable TO leave his bed.
A physician was called, but despite all the
attention bestowed upon him, he continued
"a grow worse. On Friday the physician
pronounced his case to he very serious, and
suggested that his wife be informed Of the
fact. Mrs. Morris promptly responded to
the telegram announcing her husbands
sickness, and reached his bedside Saturday
night, where she constantly remained until
the last. On Monday morning the patient
appeared To be somewhat improved, 30
much 80 that his wife WAS inspired by the
hope that the case was taking favorable
turn. The physician had left directions
that if certain symptoms, which he de-.
scribed, should develop themselves the
patient should be subjected to a quarter of
an.hour mustard bath. About 10 o'clock
the symptoms described became notice.
able, and the bath was prepared.
Mr.. Morris had been in the bath
probably six or eight minutes, when,
with great earnestncss of voice, as If i'm.
pressed with the conviction Of impending
dissolution, he exclaimed: Remove me
from this quickly, or 1t will be too late"
lie was Immediately placed in his invalid's
chair, but hud been moved but a short dis.
lance toward his bed, when, without word
or a struggle, he bicathed his last He died,
reclining in the chair where he had been
placed, not two minutes before.
No man, afflicted in like manner, ever

second critical stages of his disca,r, he rx.

Johnson was burglarized, the burglar carry
ing away Mr.. Johnsons overcoat, his wife's
cloak, a lot of silver ware and other articles
of an aggregate value of about one hundred
dollars, leaving nothing in return, but an
ugly bludgeon, which the william no doubt
intended to use, had there been any occas-
ion. We don't know which one OF John
sons evercoats was stolen; but If it was
that close-fitting ulster of his, We shall give
notice tomorrow, for meeting of our cit
zens, that they may express their indigna-
ton. The police seem to be in possession
of clues that may lead to the burglars ar
rest; but up to yesterday evening, they had
been unable to see the right man.

apparently worthless pine straw, which

other manner than in making hog beds.
covering Irish potato beds, strawberry
beds, &c. Mr.. G.. H.. VESSEL, Of this
city, acting as agent for a factory in
New York, is now buying and shipping
all the pine straw he can get. He
shipped eight ton by the last New
York steamer, and he informs US that
the factory requires about fifty tons
per week. 1t is said that at the factory
where it is consumed it first undergoes
a sweating process, by which an article
of spirits is obtained which is used for
medical purposes, and that it is then
manufactured into paper and also into
an article for stuffing mattresses.
Quite a number of the colored popula-
ton are now engaged in baling the
straw and bringing it to this city for
the purposes above mentioned.-Wil.

Curious CASE on KIDNAPPING.-
\ very curious story is going the round
of the papers to-day. -Four years ago
a tailor married the daughter of an ar
tillcry colonel, and lived happily with
her for a twclvcmonth. at the end of
which period he went for a few days to
Belgium On business. On his return
the wife was nowhere to be found, but
A month later the tailor and his friends
recognized her, as they imagined, IN
the corpse OF q young woman who had
been picked up at Auteuil. Unable
anv longer to continue in Paris, the
tailor went to New York, where, two
years afterwards, be married again. In
the month Of January the new couple
came to Paris and rented an apartment
in the Avenue FrieGland. Last Wed
nesdav as the tailor was walking in the
Champs Eiysces he saw q lady, who
looked marvelously like his first wife.
driving in a handsome eqaipage, and
hiring a cab, he followed her to a hotel
in the Avenue D'Eylau. There IN *
PLANTATION took place. 1t was iGGeed
ms wife. who declared that she haG
been kidnapped ana kept in isnoble
seclusion for three months by q man
whose name she had never been able to
ascertain. When free, she had learned
to her sorrow that her husband had
gone to America. and not daring 70 re
turn to her relatives she had entered a
dressmaker's establishment, and 50 on.
Inquiries are now being set or foot in
order to discover, if possible, who the
k~idDapper was.-Prts Cor. L0Rdon
