to Heaven and Shuilies on.

A colored man, named Tom. Alexander,
died suddenly at No SOL Polk street, yestsr.
day morning, and his death was reported to
Justice Edwards, acting coroner, who en-
panelled II jury Of inquest to examine into
the cause of and circumstances connected
with his death.
Bettie Hunter, colored, the first witness
sworn, testified that the deceased came to her
house about two weeks ago; she did not
know how long he had been sick. Ho was
not attended by any physician. She talked
to him at o'clock on the morning of his
death. He was in bed at the time.
She went off 70 work and was
seat for, and on her return
found Alexander dead. He appeared to be
much better the night preceding his death.
He always complained of severe pain in his
stomach. Tho deceased called Sophia last
night aud told her he was going straight to
heaven. In the morning he said that no was
better and asked about his overcost and
shoes, saying that no thought he would
step up town but instead Of that he stepped
out of this world.
Sophia Cormick, colored, the second wit
ness, tes flied that her little boy slept with
the deceased on the night in question. She
called him to make fire, and when he got
up he sid that no believed Alexander was
dead. She went to him and found it true.

from cold, neglect and EXPOSURE. Some are
of the belief, however, that the man took
some deadly drug to end his life.
