TIE Alexandria Gazette is at times

evidently one OF its most supreme efforts
in this direction:

thereby save tho hlood-hed destruction

Our esteemed contemporary should
not blind itself to the fact that ever
since the establishment of our glorious
republic such an idea as that of king

LAY DEAD IN A LOT.
Body of Common Pleas Clerk Coe
Found Near His House.
Probably Stumbled and Fell from
the Sidewalk.
Had Been . Court Atsscbe FOR 4
Quarter Of q Century.

The dead body Of Joseph B. coe. Clerk
OF the Court OF Common Pleas was
found In a vacant lot at the southwest
corner of Fifth avenue and One Hundred
and Fifteenth street at 6.25 o'clock this
morning.
The body was cold when discovered by
one Hundred and Fourth street station.
Life had evidently been extinct for sew
eral hours.
The body lay on pile Of rocks at the
bottom of u steep decline. twenty-five
feet below the surface of the sidewalk.
There were no marks to indicate foul
play. excepting an abrasion on the fore
head over the right eye.
The police scout the idea of violence.
and declare that death was accidental.
At u point directly above the body the
fence surrounding the vacant lot was
broken. and 1t is surmised' that Mr.. Coe
either stumbled and fell against the
fence. or else in leaning against II, II
had given way and he had fallen
headforemost. as the position In which
the body was found seemed to indicate.
upon the rocks below.
The clothing of the dead man had EVIL

diamond ring was upon the left hand and
I
bles remained in the pockets.

Common Pleas Court. Another son Is q
doctor, who resides in the Brewster fats,
J erected n
time ago by Mr.. Coe.
From the windows of his sons reci-
dence in the Brewster fats the body was
plainly visible at daybreak this morn
| Ing. II had. 1t Is said, been seen by q
servant In the household. but, believing
IL to be some unfortunate who had tum-
| bled into the dangerous hole, the servant
paid no further attention and passed no
! remark until tine family short time
later had been notified that Mr.. Goes
! dead body had been found almost within
the shadow OF his own home.
The neck had been dislocated In the
; fall, and death must have been instan-
taneous. Aside from this injury and the
small abrasion on the forehead. nothing
else was discovered by the police. who
made an examination of the body at the
station-house.
The family of Mr.. Coe agree with the
police In the theory that death was the
q result of accident. The fence surround-
ing the vacant lot Is rotten and almost
useless as n protection TO persons pass
ing by. and the police say that numerous
accidents have occurred at the place dur
ing the Winter months.
William Keeley, a clerk of the Court OF
Common Pleas. who for eighteen years
has been associated with Mr.. Coe, said
this morning:
II saw Mr.. Coe few minutes after II

TROUBLE IN rlLLMANs CAMP.
Secretary OF State Iiudal Denounoes an
Alleged Forgery.

4hANkNu AbA bNA -
CHARLESTON, 5. April 6.-There seems
to be trouble in Governor Tillmau's Off
cial family on the subject of the recent
tactics of the governor. Every one of the
cabinet, except perhaps Mr.. Mayheld, de-
precates his conduct, and several of them
are outspoken in their denunciation of
TillmHn's tyranny" This information
comes direct and is true. In addition to
this, Secretary of State j, X. Tindal Is in
censed because Iillmau issued the police
proclamation and had his name signed to
it while he (the secretary of state) was in
Charleston. As Is well known all proola-
nations are signed thus: "B. X. Tillman.
BY the governor; j. +. Tindal, secretary of
state"
1t is not a mere form, but the secretary
must sign his own name and affix the
great seal of the state to the document is
sued. When the talk of Tillman's issuing
his police proclamation first began Secre-
tary Tindal expressed the most unmistak-
able disapproval of the scheme, and after
the proclamation was issued Secretary
| Tindal stated that he had given no one
| permission to sign his name, and that his
chief clerk had been given explicit orders
not to aflix the great seal of the state ex-
cept in his (the secretary's) presence.
At Darlington the coroner's jury has
rendered a verdict to hold Constable Nc
Lenden for the killing of Norment, Cain
| for the killing of Redmond, and that Red
mond killed Pepper. The military court
will first submit its report to Governor
| Tillman, but it is understood TO concur as
to the facts as they have been published.
| Darlington and Florence are no longer
in insurrection, and today the state troops
evacuated these now famous localities
The governor last night issued procla
nation stating that the civil status is
| hereby restored.
