social life of the olden time and prominently
connected with every phase of charitable work.

good work extended even beyond the limits of
her own city and state, and was known all over
the country. In 1865 she was president of the
Great Southern Relief Association which raised
100000 at fair in Baltimore for the benefit of
those who were sufferers from the war.
There was hardly charity of any promi-
nence with which she was not in some way

pose and most eStimable and womanly char
acter. Mrs. Howard was daughter of VIM.

Skeleton of a Man Found.-On Sunday
last the skeleton Of a man was found in the
woods near Halls Springs, Hartford road. The
remains were gathered up, placed in bag and
taken to the Northwestern police station, where
they were examined by Coroner COckrill who
said they we're evidently those of white man
and that he had been dead fully six months.
A small pistol, with one chamber empty, was
found lying beside the remains and this led to
the suspicion of suicide On Monday the re-
mains were identified as those of young Ger
man named John Scheubel, who lived with his
brothers family in Baltimore, and worked for
Messrs. Keene 81 Hagerty. He mysteriously
disappeared from his home last April and as he
had previously made threats of putting himself
out of the way it was evidently case of pre-
meditated suicide. The pistol found beside the
body and the hat and shoes which he wore led
to the Identification of Scheubel.

The Late Lee Webster.-In conversation
few days ago Mr.. q. Poteet, a well-known
citizen of the 9Th district, who knew the late
Lee Webster intimately, said: Lee Webster
was by birth and culture essentially gentle
man, and incapable of a dishonorable act. He
was raised in Independence by his uncle. who,
owing to the delicate nature of his nephew, ne
elected to prepare him for the battle of life
properly. 1 think the greatest regret expert
enced by Lee of late years, after he had ascer-
tanned that he was not able financially to run
in the style which his tastes dictated, was that
he had never been given aprofession. He had
his faults, but they were the faults of nearly
every generous character. He was burdened
with debts which he had contracted under the
belief that his uncles will provided certain
sums of money to be paid him when he should
become thirty years of age. Finding that this
was erroneous, and seeing no likelihood of
being able to discharge his obligations, think
the poor boy yielded to the temptation which
has overcome so many stronger men,"

manent improvements have been made and paid
for amounting to $647.77. The capital stock of
the society is 1900 shares at SIS each, making $1O,

issued, which is represented by 500 stockholders,
leaving in the treasury 438 shares which, if sold
at So each, would be 81 100. This would be suffi-
cient to build suitable dwelling for .perma-
nent superintendent of the grounds, and new

at the Maryland Central Station, in this place,
on Tuesday evening. He was detained in
boarding the train by trying to get his hunting
dog in the baggage-car, and then attempted to
get on after the train was in motion. Seeing
that he was about to be caught between the car
and the baggage platform, he threw his body
back against the latter and thus saved himself
from being crushed. As il was he was only
slightly hurt.
