It's Just n Booming,

Such is the expression from all drug
gists and dealers everywhere who are
selling DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. No like preparation can
begin TO have such an extensive and
rapid sale. Why? Simply because OF
its truly wonderful merits. No Cough
or Cold, 20 matter OF how long standing
or how stubborn, can resist its healing
qualities. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness, Hay Fever, Pain in the Side or
Chest and difficulty OF breathing, or any
lingering disease OF the Throat or Lungs
rapidly yield to its marvellous powers.
1t will positively cure, and that where
everything else has failed. Satisfy yonr'

exercises. Solemn masses are sung,
pictures are draped in mourning and
the priests wear their most sombre vest

last evening, were peculiarly impressive
and imposing. Pontifical High Mass
was followed by the blessing OF the
Holy Oils by Bishop kain, assisted by
twelve priests. The Blessed Sacrament
was borne in solemn procession and de-
posted upon sub-altar on the side Of
the church.

In the Obi, by David Humes-The In
Quest and Verdict-WhatW Was Found.
Vest, rday afternoon Dick Humes oil
the southern part OF the city vas rowing
in his boat on the Ohio, about an eighth
OF a mile below the foot of Fortyeighth
street, the south limits of the city, when
he noticed a peculiar body foating in
the water. Approaching il, he found it
TO be drowned man in an advanced
stage OF decomposition. Securing the
floater he rowed 10 the West Virginia
shore and tied it up. 1t being in Mar.
shall county, he FASTENED TO Benwood
and notified Squire Bell who made pre-
paratiops to hold an inquest. The news
reached the ear OF a REGISTER commits
sary through the kindness OF gentle
man who was On the LaBelle packet,
which was coming mp from Bellaire
when Humes found the body.
The driver OF Fabers Immediately
struck out for Marshall county, and ar.
rived at the spot about 8 o'clock, where
he met the Justice and a small crowd oil
men and boys. -,
Constable VIM. Morris summoned the
following to serve ss jurors: Abram
Baron, Isaac Powell, Wan. Creig, Sr.,
VIM. Duff, Daniel Bowe, John Plues,
Jr., Chas. Seabright, Fred. Nolte, John
Lentry, VIM. Kimberly, David
Humes and Chas. T. Cowan. After be.
ing duly sworn, they were conducted
down the bank to the river edge, and
the body hauled out. 1t was a horrible
looking sight. 1t was apparently that OF
Young man about % years OF age, ABOUT
5 feet 4 inches in height, dressed in a
dark suit, brown pants, wooden shirt
and undershiIt, blue yarn socks and
CATERS. His face was smooth and his
hair dark. The body had been dead
about four weeks, and was simply awful
to look at, the nose having rotted OH,
and mud was plastered everywhere,
The examination was conducted as
rapidly as possible, no signs OF any
bruises being found, or marks to identl'
fy who he was. The coat was hall on
and half off. In one pocket was found
a dilapidated pocket book, containing
- 81 in coin, small key, a card win
the name "Jennie Butcher" written by
a woman's hand, and a paper which
read as follows:
"MIsERAL WELLS, Sept. Goth, 1880.
S23 10.
One day after date promise to pay
Arthur Lee $23.75, for value received
WM. CHISHOLM"
The Jury after viewing these papers
and the body, came to the conclusion
that the BODY lying before them, was to
them unknown and had probably come
to his death by drowning by some
means and at some time to them IN
known.
A rough box was then knocked TO-
gether, the body placed inside and bur
led hard by, thus disposing of some poor
unfortunate wre'ch who may have
mother, a wife and children, or a sweet
heart YEARLY waiting for the return Of
him who may have met his fate by acct
dent or by the foul means OF some iel'
low being.
