Mr.. Morris's Death Was Sudden After
His Wife Administered Chloroforn.

His Wife Administered Chloroform.
REIDsvILLE, n. c., September TO-
The Corners inquiry into the death of
b. E. Morris, we'll known merchant,
was resumed to-day. Mrs. Morris ad
mits having administered small por-
ton of the chloroform which caused her
husbands death. She says he then
asked her to leave the room as he wanted
rest. Half an hour later Mrs. Morris
told the cook to 60 upstairs to her huS-
bands room and see if he was asleep.
The woman returned and said Mr.. Nor
ris was dead, but the wife told her she
was mistaken, and that Mr.. Morris was
asleep. Sam, the hostler, was sent up
stairs by the cook, and returning re-
ported that his master was dead. Mrs.
Morris said he, too, was mistaken. The
lauLdress finally went upstairs and made
a similar report on her return. Mrs.
Morris said it could not be, but did not
20 ups: airs herself.
Sam went for physician and told
some friends on the way that his master
had died. When the neighbors arrived
Mrs. Morris asked them not to 60 up
stairs, saying that she did not think her
husband was dead and that they might
disturb him. The friends entered the
room which smelled strongly of chloro
form and found an empty two ounce
vial of the drug on one Of the pillows.
1t was only foot away from the face
of Mr.. Morris. A handkerchief was
over his mouth and he lay dead, with
his hands crossed over his chest.
The theories are four-suicide, acci-
dent on the victims part, accident on
Mrs. Morris's part and murder. Since
her husbands death Mrs. Morris has
been prostrated and at times hysterical.
Once she leaped from window and ran
some distance across the grass before
being caught.
The couple had been married a year,
and their relations were not OF the
pleasantest. The wife is 90, a good
looking blonde, and quite gay. She is
an accomplished horsewoman, very fond
of dogs, and comes from an excellent
family. The dead man was 43, and
made will q week ago leaving all his
property. whose value is estimated at
IS, 900, to his wife. A life insurance
policy for s., 900 was also in her favor.

How bright the days are
The solar rays are
No more oppressive, the nights are mild,
And ear the skies are,
And gay the dyes are
In the maple grove and the woodland wild.
Schcolma'am and master,
Layman and pastor.
Are back from the mountain and ocean S

Robust and healthy,
1lthLugh less wealthy,
And down to labor have bent once more.
The shores deserted
Where couples flrted,
And the youth no more meath the starlight

His love confesses,
And the bathing dresses,
No longer flap in the MONDAY gale.

The rain are gathered,
The grapes are ripe Oh the burdened vine,

STANTON AND LINCOLN.
Mr.. Dana Describes the Evening Afte,
Iincoln's Second Election.

Lincoln's Second Election.
Sundays New York Sun contained
the following editorial by Mr.. Dana:
s.In the last number of the Century
Nagazi7ae Messrs, Hay and Nicolay mar
rate their idea of what happened at the
War Department on the evening after
the second election of President Lincoln
in 1864. AS they were not present their
report must he a matter of hearsay. l do
not know that any Of the particulars
they relate are deficient in accuracy,
though I can testify that while was
there at that time l did not observe
them.
Il was not usually on duty in the
War Department at night; but Mr.. Stan
ton had directed me to come over that
evening, and l arrived pretty early, say
at o'clock or half past s. The Presi-
dent, apparently as serene as a summer
morning, was in Mr.. Stanton'slarge pri
yate room, and no one was
with him except the Secretary
and General Eckert, who came continu-
ALLY with kilograms. The result of the
voting was Of such q decisive charac-
ter that the news arrived much earlier
than had been expected; and when |
went in, learned from both the PreSl-
dent and the Secretary that the question
seemed already to be substantially set
tied. Each dispatch that was received
seemed only to add to the apparent GER
tainty; and by about 9 O'Clock there was
no longer any doubt But without wait
ing for that hour, Mr.. Lincoln drew
from his breast {; thin yellow covered
pamphlet. Dana, said he to me, have
you ever read anything of Petroleum V.

but that is not the whole. Pull up your
chair and LISTEN l drew up to him.
and he began to read aloud TO me only
and not to Stanton, one after another Of
Petroleum's funny hits; and between
each of them we had Il quiet little laugh
all to ourselves But the lion head Of
the Secretary showed plainly that he had
no sympathy with this amusement; in
fact his face wore its darkest and stern
est expression, However, the reading
went on, occasionally broken by General
