XEsrA, O., April S.-From the returns
filed in the office Of the Clerk OF the
Court to-day, of the Coroner's inquest held
and pod motem examination made in re-
lation to the sudden death Of Mrs. Rhoda
Davis, colored woman, which occurred
in this city a few nights ago, the following
facts are cleaned:
Mrs, Davis was married woman, thir-
ty.four years old. But alittle while be-
fore her death she retired to bed with her
husband and little baby, in usual good
health. Soon after the child began wheez-
ing, and the mother arose, got some NUT

nose, throat and breast. She then went
to the coal heating stove in the room.
opened the front stove door, puts large
lump OF coal on the fire and sat down
with the child, putting her feet upon the
stove to warm them. After few minutes
she returned to bed leaving the stoye-door

going to die; said goodbye" and expir-
ed In q moment, q white foam issuing from
her mouth and nostrils in q continual
flow. Suspicious Of malicious poisoning

GALLONS DECApIrAnoN.


WASHINGTON, D. O., April S.-speaking
of the beheading Of the murderer Stone
here yesterday, the Star Of this afternoon
says:
at was observed by the physicians that
the skin of the victim was peculiarly thin
that there was a layer of fat, or adipose
tissue, almost an inch in thickness, under
it, and the spine was remarkably slender
for such heavily built man. 1t was OBJ
served, too, that the rope had cut in Just
under the chin, and the rope striking the
atlas took off the skull as clean as If a
knile had been used. There was much
comment as TO the cause OF the mishap,
and attempts were made to recall other sim
liar occurrences. It was stated at first
that there was but one other such
case on record, which took place
in Boston some seven or eight years
since. One such occurrence took place in
Dublin some years ago, and there have
been one or two cases in England; but
probably the most unaccountableo one was
at Columbus, Ohio, in 1857. In this case
there were two men executed, one we'll
built man, weighing nearly 200 pounds,
and the other small man weighing about
l20 pounds, Both had about five feet tfall,
aAd when the trap was sprung the larger
man hung in the old orthodox way, but
the smaller mans head was cut clean of,
as in the case OF Stone yesterday.
Drs. Carroll, Morgan aud Crook sewed
the head on the body, and left no outward
appearance of the decapitation, and Drs.
Young, Noble, Walcott, Newman, Alexan-
der, McWilliams, B. b. Adams, and Others
were present, and all expressed the opin-
ion that this was the most remarkable In
stance OF the weakness of muscular tissue
they had ever observed or read of, and II
was totally at variance with the theory Of
medical officers Of prisons that the stabil-
ity Of the head Is not endangered with a
hemp rope Of tiye-eighths OF an inch or
over, II the fall does not exceed the height
OF the man, and in this case the fall was
but four feet seven inches-oyer foot less
than his height.

THE cnILI.PERuyIAN WAR.

LIMA, March 25.-The corvette Union
forced the blockade of africa, fighting for
seven hours with two Chilian ironclads
and a atransport. She discharged her en-
tire cargo while fighting, and has returned
to Callao. The Union was undoubtedly
sent from Callao with arms and ammuni-
ton for the Peruyians in the blockaded
port OF africa, probably under the COM
mand Of Capt. Villayiencio, and has sue
ceeded In her errand despite the ChiliAn
blockading vessels. In the seven hours
engagement It Is fair TO presume the
Union was assisted by the monitor Nance
Capac and the Notifications Of africa
Capt. YillAyiencio has already distinguish
ed himself as the commander OF the
Chalaco by many successful trips with
supplies for the Peruvian forces in the
southern ports OF the republic, delivering
all despite every effort Of the ChilIan yes

Overflow Of the Tensas Riyer-Railvay
Travel Impeded.
MOBILE, Ala, April 3.-A generalover-
flow Of the Tensas river has been occa.
stoned by heavy rains within the past four
days, doing very considerable damage.
The height OF the water has been greatly
augmented by a terrific southern gale
which has already continued for the same
number of days. Some of the streets oi
Mobile are covered with water. The rail-
roads are having q bard tune Of it, with a
large extent OF their tracks oyerfowed.
The Mobile and Montgomery division Of
the Louisville and Nashville and Great
Southern Railroads. submerged for dis
lance OF ten or twelve miles, necessitating
the employment OF steamers to make
transfers OF passengers and baggage. On
this account there has been general de-
lay oitrains. The sea, as 1t were, is so
rough that the passengers take the steam
ers with good deal Of timidity, maly
preferring TO remain at Mobile until the
flood Is over or the waters fall. In 1867
the water was so high and the currents so
strong that ten miles OF railroad was de.
stroyed, leaving nothing but the rails and
cross.ties to show that there had been q
railroad there.

Church Fires.

OTTAWA, April 4.-A fire at 4 o'clock
this morning damaged the Bank Street
Presbyterian Church to the extent Of
$1,000; insured. About the same time
while the sexton Of st. Joseph's Catholic
Church was preparing the edifce for the
5 o'clock service he saw man with q
lighted candle standing behind the altar.
On going forward the man had set fire TO
the woodwork in the entry and also to
the organ, and then fed. It Is surmised
that an organized gang had determined
upon the destruction Of these two
churches, and the public is much excited
over the affair.

Secretary Sherman passed through here
Saturday evening. News was received
here awhile before the train arrived, and
about two hundred persons were at the
depot. He was called out and made
few brief remarks, thanking them for the
courtesy shown and congratulating the
people OF Ohio on their prosperity, and
closed with the remark: go where you
will, you will find no lairer land, no bet
ter men or prettier women than in Ohio"
At this juncture the train pulled out amid
three cheers for Sherman.
