Eunr1ey Held.

The Coroner's inquest into the cause oil
the death of William Henry Friebele was
proceeded with during Monday afternoon.
and after an interval for supper, was con.
tinued till after.lO O'Clock in the evening
when the jury returned verdict holding
Ezra Huntley on the charge of manslaugh'
ter, and discbarging William Sturgeon
and Jacob Shwarz on their own recog-
nixance.
The postmortem examination was con-
cluded during the afternoon and the fol-
lowing report was made to the coroners
jury:
We, the undersigned physicians having
made postmortem examination OF the
body of William Henry Fribele, report
that we have found it in the following con-
dition:
Externally was found slight confusion
above aud to the right of the right eye; q
confusion of the left temple and eye lid,
with considerable ecchymosis of the upper
and lowerseyelids, with also a slight cut
through the skin of the left eyelid; Sarge
extravasation of blood in the left temporal
muscle.
On opening the skull fracture was found
beginning in the upper part of the temper
al bone near its junction with the frontal;
running obliquely downward to the base
of the sphenoid bone. across the base of
sphenoid and obliquely upwards through
the right temporal bone to point oppo
site the upper lobe of the right ear: also
fracture through the orbital plate of the
frontal bono into the sphenoid with
considerable communion of both bones.
Over the upper portion of the left hemis-
phere of the brain was large amount OF
extravasated clotted blood; over both
hsmispheres was found considerable ex-
travasated blood.
The thoracia organs were found in
healthy condition. The contents of the
abdomen were found healthy with the
exception of the stomach which was
ruptured. it being possible though that
it may have been ruptured in opening the
thorax.
It is our opinion from our examination
of the body, that death was caused by
fractures of the base of the skull.

GRANT IN ILLINOIS.

Illinois is the home Of Grant. To
beat him in his own State has been the
great aim Of the managers of the other
candidates, while his friends have gone
into no State Of any candidate TO con-
test, the other candidates threw all their
available forces into the Illinois conflict.
Blaine bureaus, and Sherman clubs, and
Washbnrne organizations were thick,
and at last all combined to carry the
convention against the ex-Presldent.
In the city Of Chicago all the great pa
pcrs, the Inter- Ocean alone excepted,
were against him, looking up the fusion
lists and sore-hcads in every dirty
scheme, and in all defamatiOns. The
hter-Oceam stood by the people, by the
States honor, aud by the old herO's
name most valiantly, exposing ward
plots and denouncing Tribune jobs
until the ovcrpowering sentiment of
the State, through the delegates at
Springfield, in the name of the Repub-
lean masses and cx-soldicr patriots
called "A halt. Illinois forty-two dele
gates were unanimously instructed to
east their vote for her unassuming son
who had once saved his country.

A PROMISING ENTERPRISE.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Globe Democrat, under date of May IA,
says: Representative Ryan and the
other friends of the Cherokee River &
Arkansas Railroad bill are actively en-
gagged in bringing the details of their
enterprise to the attention of the House.
Mr.. Ryan presented bill of this char
acter, which was taken up by "Casey"
Young, of Tennessee, who favored an
other measure, but has agreed to unite
with Mr.. Ryan in carrying out this en-
terprise, which render the success of
the measure very probable. After u
consultation with Messrs. Ryan, Young
and the other friends of the bill it is
proposed to pass the bill, under a sus-
pension of the rules, at the first oppor-
tunity."
