Hsnes,y's An.e-Mortem Statement

The county attorney yesterday decided that
anyone could take an ante-mortem statement.
and that the duty was not specifically one COM

an ante mortem statement in a criminal trial
ought naturally to come under his direction.
Acting on this, Assistant Prosecutor Hickman

Inmates of the County Poor Asylums.

In response to questions sent out by the State
Bureau of Statistics to superintendents of poor
asylums, regarding the number and conditions
of inmates, eighty-one made returns in 1885 and
sixty-seveu in 1886. The reports are very full.
The average cost of inmates per day IL each
year was 1905 cents. and this amount was in
many counties largely reduced by the products
of the farms, which are cultivated without addi-
tional expense or labor. The total number of
persons in the asylums at present is 3, GAG.

James Iredell Waddell, who was a
Confederate Admiral, and commander
of the famous Shenandoah, died at
Annapolis, Maryland, on the 14th.-
The Shenandoah was the only war
vessel that carried the Confederate
flag around the world, and during
cruise OF nearly two years, she made
SO captures, valued at S1,152,0
and visited every ocean except the
Antartic. She ran distance of 3d.
600 miles and never lost chase, or
met with an accident. Her armament
consisted of four So Founders and
two 80 Founders. Captain Waddell
did not hear of Lees surrender I'M
til July, 1865, when he sailed for
England and surrendered his ship to
the British Government, which in
turn turned over the Shenandoah to
the American Consul at Liverpool
And thus was lowered the last Con-
federate flag. Aneficient officer and
jealous follower of the Lost Cause
has passed away.
