Rprnar1 Morgan left his house in Clifton, 8. l..
on August 49, He was last seen about o'clock
that night at the liquor store of John Gebhardt
winch was ahout quarter OF mic distant ron IN
the tug Dessora, OF the StrcetClcaning buleau, on
the following Tuesday in the Lover Bay. about
four miles from CUney Island. II was believed
that Morgan had been foully dealt with, and on
account OF what considered suspicious err
cunstances, Thomas Gebhardt and his wife. Cath

fer Lanisa Schult2 and man i'll his employ, Carl
Destardt were arrested. and required 10 give ban
to await the result of the inquest Ihls was held
Yesterday 10y Coroner Hermann.
The testimony showed that MOrgan's body
showed no signs Of violence when found, and that
the only suspicious circumstances connected WIN
his disappearance were that on August IA pOol
of blood and several bloody stones were found III
the rear of Gebhardt 8 hOuSe that a SHIRT with
several spots of blood on 1t was found III the atlc
of Gcbhardt's house that two men heard noises III
Gebhardts yard the day after the disappearance
OF Morgan aud that there Was small plot OF cart
in Gchhardt's yard which had the appearance "t
haTing been recently dug up. Inc testimony
showed that the pool of blood was caused by Mr..
Gcbharit having had sixteen chickens Killed on
the day before. The suspicious pot OF Grohni was
due TO the fact that Geuhardts man, Do Stardt, had
been working in the garden that day. The bloody
shirt was SHOWN to the Jury. On the shoulder Oh
this there were two small dullred spots ABOUT the
size OF u One-ccnt piece. Richard Costello testified

WHAT THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES
An inofensive young man of this city
who has been paying some attention to
a highly cultured girl from Boston, and
endeavoring to make her stay as pleas
ant as possible, was somewhat surprised
while chatting with her few evenings
since to have her ask him what time he
arose in the morning. Pulling up his
striped pants so that they would not
wrinkle at the knee. and throwing one
leg over the other, he replied in his care
less South Side way that he generally
kicked the clothes off about g." Look
ing at him over her clear but cold eye
glasses, the Beacon-Hiller asked: "Do
you know what Benjamin Franklin said ?"
"Oh, yes" responded the Chicagoan !;
81 know that yarn about Ben's entering
Philadelphia with nothing but loaf Of
bread and plug of tobacco" ~ did not
refer to that particular episode in the
life of the great philosopher" said the
young lady, :but to his proverb: The
early bird catches the iumbicus terrestriS'
which is, as you are no doubt aware,
an articulate animal belonging to the
abrachiate division of the class of anne
lides"-and the fascinating creature re-
sumed her occupation of crocheting the
American Constitution into pillow
sham which she was manufacturing. The
young man laughed Historically, said she
was doubtless correct, and soon left for
home, where he received prompt treat
ment for approaching brain-fever. Bos-
ton is undoubtedly a.great place.-CM-

REMEMBERED ExACTLY.-A lying
witness will often tell a very glib story,
but he generally fails to guard all his
weak points. At a recent trial in court
the following took place in attempting to
prove and alibi:
"You say that Elias plowed for you
all day on the Goth of November" ask
ed the attorney.
Witness referring to his book, "Yes."
"What did he do on the 30th?"
"He chopped wood"
"On the 3lst?"
"That was Sunday, and VIC went out
squirrel-hunting."
"What did he do on the 92d?"
"He thrashed wheat on that day."
"What did he do on the 33d?"
"It was raining and he shaved out
some handles"
"What did he do on the 34th?"
"He chopped wood"
"What did he do on the-?"
But before the question could be fin
ished, the witness wife seized him by
the collar and whisked him outside ol
the witness-box, yellingin his afTrighted
ear:
You old fool don't you know that
there are only thirty-one days in the
month of November"

- Jefferson Davis thinks that his
memoirs will be ready for publication
in the fall of this year. A large por-
ton of the first volume will be devoted
to his views as to the causes that led to the
late war. The remainder of the volume
and the whole of the second volume will
relate to the conduct of the war. Both
volumes will be illustrated with portraits
of Confederate soldiers. Mrs. Davis
and Gen. Joseph Davis, nephew, assist
in the preparation of the work. In fact,
the old man has his hands full just now
expecting to raise as many as one thou
sand bales of cotton on his Mississippi
plantation during the coming season.
