THE MORPHINE ROUTE.
Unsuccessful Attempt sfa Young Benedict
TO shuttle of. this Mortal Coil.

10 shuttle off this Mortal Coil.
There appeared in the GAzE1 rE
about four weeks ago, Il notice OF the
marriage of Miss Jennie Wilder of this
city to Mr.. A. b. Copeland of NASH
vile, Tenn They lived together al
parentiy very happy until few weeks
ago. Ii Is said the young Benedict, who
is n tuner by trade, tried TO get pos
session OF some property which his
wife owned. In this he failed and the
young wifes parents forbade him the
privilege OF ever dnrken-
Ing their door again or
at polluting the brides boudoir with
his presence again. He did not seem
10 he very much aggrieved by this
but the wife did, and she attempted to
end her life by morphine, but ply
stefan was summoned, ana 10y the ala
OF little atropia saved her. Since
then dependency and gloom have
been the constant companions of the
husband, and it is said he has some
liquor on his staff, and growing tired
OF being alone and away from his wife,
fearing, too, IL e anger of the injured
father-in-law, he concluded TO shake off
this mortal coil. He consequently
bought fifteen cents worth of NOR.
phine and swallowed five whole grains
of that deadly narcotic and laid him
self down TO sleep the sleep that
knows no waking, but it could not be
SO. He was wanted to fill n more use
fll niche than the grave, and with the
aid Of n stomach pump and some
atropia he was rescued by DIR. Brooks
and still lives, but has not recovered
sufficiently to state whether or not he
is pleased at his failure.

A Broken Bridge.

The west bound passenger train On
the Texas and Pacific railroad was de-
layed at Dallas last night on account
of broken bent on the bridge over
the Trinity river just this side of that
city. The bridge has been considered
weak for some time and yesterday
upon inpection il was found to be un
safe on account of one OF the stringers
on the bridge being broken. A tele-
gram was received Mt the Texas and
Pacific depot that the bridge would
probably be repaired in time for the
train 10 reach this point by twelve
O'clock last night.

Deer RiTer-The Work Done.

The work of sinking willow mattresses to
protect the river bank above HopefeId was
begun a day or two ago by Assistant United
States Engineer ". NJ. Reese, and about $50
men. The original appropriation OF S325,000
for.tbeinpro7srneDt of this portion OF therIver
has been expended except $4,000 which is
now being Used IN continuing the work from
the point at which it Wss left of last year,
100 feet below Mound City. The mattresses,
which are eunk in the usual way, are 500
feet long and from sixty TO seventy-fiye feet
wide. The work will be carried as far in the
direction Of Hopsield as the money in hand
will allow. Its importance would be hard TO
oyerestimste and q great deal of interest has
been manifested in it by those who know
and appreciate It's value and It's bearing on
the future Of Memphis as a river poiut. The
work is being done in the same system ,tic
manner az that along the river in front OF the
city ard which has been OF inestimable ger
vice in protecting the levee. A party Of
forty men under Joseph Burney are at work
