SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
The Remains of Eibridge Randall
Taken from the Grave for an
Autopsy.

BATH, April 10.
The petition to Coroner Ballou from one
of the selesmen and few citizens of Tops
ham for post mortem examination of the
remains of the late Elbridge Randall, was
yesterday answered. The remains were ex-
humed from the old cemetery at Bath where
they were inferred and an autopsy held by
Doctors E. N. Fuller, Bibber and wescott.
The stomach and smaller intestines were
taken out and sealed up and sent to the State
Assayer for chemical analysis. The jury
was ex- Mayor Ledyard and foreman George
Moulton, Jr., Read Nichols, G. C. Greenlief,
J. S. Lowell, T. J.IHsrris. They merely
viewed the tody and no evidence has been
received by them. The petition sets forth
that the deceased died under suspicious cir
cumstances, coming to his death, the petit

friend did a similar thing in his favor. Mr..
Spear Of Bowdoinham was the man.. Mr..
Spear was in Bath some time since and told
a gentleman that Mr.. Randall was very feeble
and that he need not be surprised to hear of
his death at any time. That be would ag-
gravate his disease if he got little better by
ill advised labor. The idea is not generally
entertained here that he died from other than
natural causes, although of course the hear
ing of the circumstances Of his death might
modify this belief. The action is said to be
laid by natural heirs and q prominent lawyer
who has claims against the estate is said to
be interested in the matter.

CAIRO, April 20.
number of refugees owing to being short
of provisions left Sherry few days ago in a
steamer for Berber. The steamer ran agound
on q sand bank near Elbela, and was soon
surrounded by swarms of rebels who attacked
the steamer on all sides and massacred every
one on board.
The fugitives numbered $50, Including a
number of the Shendy garrison, and many
women and children. Nupan Pssha, prime
minister, fears that before long the spirit of
rebellion will reach Assovan. He has re-
ceived desponding telegram from Hussein
Pasha, governor of Berber, who says that
the attitude of the population is threatening,
and he expects that Berber will be surround
ed and captured by the rebels, who are con-
tinualIy increasing around the town. and
threatening the avenues of communication.
Hussein Pssha says he will resign unless
troops are sent to assist in the defense of the
town.

Very little rain has fallen from last night
to noon. Since noon it has been raining
hard. The water shows no signs of falling
