and instantly killed last night about
8 O'Clock at kuttaws by Al Tumblin'

of the incident until in the evening
when Tumblin entered Ssxton's drug

most popular Young ladies of the city

She was taken 10 the hospital on July

worse until several days ago when her
life was despaired Of, and at noon to-
day she peacefully passed away.
Its seldom that death awakens
such widespread sorrow as that Of Miss

no one was more liked and respected
in large circles Of friends and ac-
ouaintanoes than she. Her admirers
were many. and in society she was de-
servedly popular. and was favorite
wherever she was known.
A sad feature Of her death was the
departure Of her sister, Mrs @. W.

Halloran's illness was thought not 70

Alex Cody Killed at Ninth
Court Last Night By
Will Anderson.
THE MURDERER CAU(
Cody is Alleged TO Have Pursued
Anderson, Alias "Frenehy," VINO
Killed Him.
INQUEST THIS ALTERING

Alex Cody, colored, was stab
and almost instantly killed this mo
ing about O'Clock at Ninth and Col
streets by VIII Anderson, al
"Frenohy." The trouble started
saloon on the corner of washingd
and Ninth, and the belligereH
worked" their way a block, al
there the cutting occurred.
After being stabbed TO the heart /
Cody ran across the street and sank !
a pool Of his own blood just on thu
edge Of the sidewalk near Mollie
Nief's, and was about dead when
Officers Razor and Dugan arrived.
Captain. Bailey and Officer Tom Pot
ter were soon on the trail Of the muir
derer, and caught him in the market
house. near the soeth end, in front of
Smiths butcher stall He did not
know that his victim was dead, al
though admitting that he had cut him,
-aiil informed of the consequences
after being locked up
The body was taken to Nance's un-
dertaking establishment, where an in
quest is being held this afternoon.
"Frenchy's" version of the trouble
is that he was at the Washington
and Ninth street saloon and gave q
woman dime 20 buy can Of beer.
She took it and she and Cody drank it.
When she came back for another
dime, he declined to give it to her say
ing that she had divided the other
with another man and he would give
her no more.
Cody stepped mp and called him q
name, s. OF n b., he declares, and
said that he. Anderson, drank part
Of the beer. Anderson claims he then
said, "oh, you'ss lookin' fer trouble, "
and left.
He found that Cody was following
him with a bottle. He increased his
pace, and finally, being short winded,
when Ninth and Court was reached,
decided to run no farther, and as
Cody came mp and struck at him with
a bottle, began cutting him with his
knife. In his excitement he was up-
able to say how many times he cut
him. After doing the work he made
no effort to escape from the city and
claims self-defense.
Anderson, who is well-known by his
more familiar title, "Frenohy," has
always been considered peaceable, and
has resided IN the Garrison creek sec
tion Of the county for some time, hav'
ing come here from Baltimore ten
years ago He is employed by ce'
ment company.
Cody has been laying about the city
for some time past, and according te
Marshal Collins was only recently re-
leased from the penitentiary. He
appears to be about 80 years old, and
when killed wore working apparel
