MEMPHIS.
A Voyage to the silent Land by the
Morphine Route.

Special 10 the Gazette.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 2s.--Joseph
Linkert, a bridge carpenter, died from
the effects of morphine last night. The
man had purchased fifty cents worth
of the drug, or at least the box was
marked that way, but the label of the
druggist whosoId ithad been scratched
oil. He took the poison about $ o'clock
yesterday morning, and when dis
covered was beyond the aid of restora-
tives. From writing found in n family
Bible by his side, it is inferred his
marriage was an unhappy one. He
stated that his wife did not do right,
and for this he suicided. The woman,
however, says his treatment of her has
been cruel in the extreme, and there
is probably more mystery about the
affair than appears on the surface.

At Tacha, notwithstanding the pow

PECULIAR CASE.

TOLEDO, o, Feb. 25.-A peculiar
case has been decided in tho Com
mon Pleas Court involving the valid
ity of slave marriages. A colored
man named Anderson married here
in 1888, and thsreupon was arrest
ed for bigamy, it being charged that
he was married while a slave to a
slavewoman in Bedford county, Va,
IN 1861. The case hinged on the
validity of a slave marriage. The
Judge instructed the jury that
slaves being property could not
make legal contracts, but the Courts
had declared that slave marriages
became valid by cohabitation as man
and wife after the Emancipation
Proclamation went iEto effect in
1864. The case thus turned on the
question Of fact whether the pair
had 50 eohabited or noS as shown by
the evidence. The jury returned q
verdict of not guilty.
