Death apparently hovers about the door
of Rev. T. T.. Reynolds, venerable Bap-
fist minister Of this city, living at rour-
teenth and McDonough streets, where MS
son, Mr.. Charles Reynolds, lies IN ex-
tremis. His physician said last night that
he wa. lust alive. and that death might
come ut anv moment. This is one of the
strange things Of life.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Reynolds was
well and strong. About O'Clock ne went
out into the yard adjoining the house
and gathering up an armful of wood bore
II to the inside. He laid it down, and as
il slipped from his arms he fell to the
floor under a severe apoplectic stroke.
DR.. RuclSer was called in, but his medical
skill did not relieve the sufferer, and all
during the day the i'll man could not
speak, and it is not believed he can pos
sibly recover. He is about AZ years OF
age.
LIEUTENANT BURKERT UNDER AR
REST.
1t was the current report last night
that Lieutenant Charles Burkert, Of the
Grays, of this city, had been placed I'M
der military arrest, according to the Or
der Of Colonel II. c. Jones, commanding
the First Virginia Regiment. Since cap
tain ]. j. Haverty, Of the Grays, has
been on furlough to Old Point, Lieu
tenant Burkert has been In command.
The commandments of all military COM
panies are compelled to have their quar-
terly reports at headquarters by the oth
of July. The report from the company
was not sent IN, and the consequence Is
the commanding officer has been placed
under arrest.
Colonel Jones was seen last night, but
declined to make any statement ABOUT
the matter. Ii is claimed by the Junior
officers friends that his explanation VIII
release him from all appearance OK negn-
gence. Captain Haverty is now at the
seaside endeavoring to WOO back his
shattered health.
In the case OF Henry Brown alias Henry
Shepperson (colored) who was arrested
Sunday by officer Avis, of Swansboro
charged with attempting to kill his uncle,
Richard Shepperson, the warrant was
withdrawn yesterday. The case came up
before Squire Jones, but was forthwith
dismissed.
BREAK HIS HEAD.
A warrant was issued at a late hour
last night under the oath Of Henry Red,
an old colored man, because the negro
feared bodily harm from his son-in-law,
Bob Owens. The old fellow. has been
living at Bob's house since Bob married
his daughter and yesterday, as on too
frequent occasions for Bob, he proffered
mis- Daternal advice on some matter not
his particular concern. Bob got mad and
said this must stop, and told Henry he
would break his head for him. Bob's big
fist looked menacing. and fearing that he
might do so, will ask that he be placed
under bond.
