a Russian jew, aged 45,who gained livelihood
by peddling. He had previously attempted

that he had effected his purpose by means of
morphine. The jury returned n verdict in ac-
cordance with this evidence. His remains
were inferred by the Jewish Benevolent So
ciety. Goldman came from Dallas and his
wife, IL is said, now resides in that city.

There was rumor going around the city last
night that woman was drowned in the San

that there was no truth in tho rumor which,
doubtless, originated in the fact that Mrs Linn

dence, on Alamo street, was washing some
clothes in the river and fell into IL. Tony
Messner, the gallant barber, was at hand ana
