A white man by the name of w. F.
Fennell, who claims to be a c~hiropodist,
is confined at the city hall upon the
charge of insanity. He will be given
q hearing today and if it looks like
the nan is really insane there will be
an investigation in regard to his sanity
The man says he is from the north
and but for a crank would no. be
locked up at the city hall. He says in
speaking of his work-he is a corn
doctor-he spoke Of himself as a
butcher and as having murdered those
he treated. Those who heard him he
said seemed to think he was talking
in earnest and especially when he said
he had an engagement to murder the
the chief of the fire department. He
was reported as having shown a book
and said the James represented the
people he had butchered. This book, he
says, shows the people he had treated
and that he only spoke in a jocular way
in regard to his business.
Fennell is we'll dressed and appears
to be about so years of age. He was
drinking some yesterday and stated to
a representative of The Messenger that
he had taken several drinks. Wnere
he caused the greatest excitement was
in the Stieff office where he told a lady
some of his deeds of %butchery. The
matter was reported to the police sta
ton and Officer Charles Wood arrested
him about 1870 yesterday afternoon.
He made no denial of having made the
statements he was charged with but
said he only had reference to his
business. Fennell said he came in on
Tuesday night from Goldsboro where
he spent about ten days. His home,
he stated, was in the north. He said
he treated the manager Of the Stief
house in Norfolk and this "a n of
the men he spoke of as having butcher
ed. If he is not insane he certainly
got himself in a rather serious diff

BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER
Very Probable That it is That of
Walter Field
Father-in-Iaw of Fields Here but Con-
difion WAS Such that he was Unable
to Identify Body-Was Floating
About Middle of River Several Miles
Below Wilmington-No Papers were
Found ON Body-Renains i'm q Very
Good State Of Preservation.

The body of a young white man was
found floating il the Cape Fear river
yesterday at a point about three miles
below Wilmington and it is supposed
to be the body of Walter Fields. who
so mysteriously disappeared last Mon
day a week ago. The father in law of
Fields was here yesterday but ne is
said TO have been in such a CONDITION
that he was unable to tell anything
definite about the body.
Mr.. W. j. Mintz, a fisherman, found
the body floating face downwards about
the middle of the river, and, as stated
above, about three miles below the city.
He managed to get the body ashore aud
left it there until he could come to the
city and notify the coroner, DR.. C. ID.
Bell, who, in company with Undertaken
w. E. YOpp, left for the point where
the body had been left. DR.. Bell view
ed the body before it was moved and
there was no evidence of foul play.
He was dressed and all pockets were

body, but nothing whatever was found,
not a scrap OF paper O my money.
The body was brought to this city
IN taken to the undertaking esIab-
lishment of Mr.. Yopp to be prepared
for burial. The father of Walter
Fields was notified yesterday that a
body had been found in the river which
was supposed to be that of young
Fields. arrived on the midnight
Seaboard train.
The body which was found was in a
good state of preservation, much bet
ter than would be supposed if it is the
body of Fields who disappeared about
ten days ago.
There is. of course. some doubt yet
as to the identity of the body, but it is
more than probable that it is themiss-
ing man. 1t will be remembered that
Fields disappeared on Monday night
the 31st Of October. When last seen
he was on the wharf near the foot o.
Market street in an intoxicated con-
dition. The next day he could not be
found and at first his friends thought
nothing Of it but as the day wore On
without any trace of him they became
uneasy and began to make a search,
but without any results. Several days
after he disappeared it was reported
that a man had fallen from n Of the
fishing steamers ald was drowned, and
at the time it was thought very prob
able that it was Fields. He came here
to attend federal court and it was on
the night after his arrival that he
disappeared.
Later-This morning Mr.. Taylor
Fields came in on the Seaboard train
from Laurinburg and got here about 1
o'clock. He identified the body found
floating in the Cape Fear river as that
of his son. The parent was almost
overcome with grief, but he seemed
glad that the body had been recovered.
He said he feared that his son was
drowned and that the body would neve:
be recovered. The remains were car
ried to L%aurinburg this morning on the
train which leaves Wilmington at 4 80.

A Very Close Choice.

Col. Perry, the ~auctioneer, lived near
Urbana when he was a young man, and
he was paying attention TO two sisters
who lived On the adjoining farm. He
liked them both and could see little
difference between them, says the Co.
lumbus Dispatch.
At the proper time he asked the IA
Their for the hand of the N he
thought be admired the most, giving
the name of curse. The father did
not object, and as an accommodation
he promised to secure the necessary
marriage license when he went to Ur-
bana the next time.
When the father returned with If,
the young bridegroom found to his as
tonishment that it was made out in -he
name of the other sister.
How much will it cost TO change
it?" asked Perry.
About seventy-fve cents" replie
the father.
After rneditating a few minutes the
colonel answered (he says):
well l can't see the difference. III

perfectly satisfied, explaining his posi-
ton in this manner

Baltimore Report OF Matthews Death
Not Taken as Conclusiyeoours
VIII not r. lieve Bondsmen Until
Satisfactory Evidence Is Presented.

Greensboro, N. c., November 6.-The
news of the suicide OF DR.. ]. B, Mat
thews. who had been convicted Of muir
dering his wife here less than a year
ago and given a second degree muir
der verdict by the jury on account OF
his mental condition al the time, and
other locally known facts as to the
actual state Of affairs concerning the
couple, reached here asst night. and
was generally credited a true. This
morning, however, when the report OF
his death appeared in full in the morn
ing papers,, the story was so well, as
the carpenters say, "dovetailed," it
has given rise here to many express
sions of incredulity. Nobody here
has expected that DR.. Matthews would
ever return and undergo his sentence
of twenty years in the ~penitentiary,
when by paying a paltry five thous-
and dollars. the amount Of his bond,
he could have freedom the balance OF
his life. at the small price Of $3.50 a
year. Of course, if he is dead, the
bond will not eve be collected. If
ne be not dead, and his reported sui
eide is accepted as true, he will not
only be realeased of imprisonment the
balance of his natural life, but also
of having to forfeit five thousand dol
lars.
It is understood that since the Su-
preme Court affirmed the judgment or
twenty years in the penitentiary, no
steps had been taken by the authori-
ties to arrest Matthews and bring him
here to answer to the judgment, and
be therefore could not have been in
immediate fear of arrest. Since his
reported suicide, it is also understood
that the court authorities have noti-
fed his bondsmen, that there must be
certain and incontestible proof OF his
death, before they will be Released.
This fact alone shows that no further
evidence than that Of the news from
Baltimore is considered necessary be
fore it is fully Acknowledgements to

PUSHED In FREIGHT.
A Freight at Richards n Same
Had to be Pushed to the City.

1t was nearly II O'Clock when the
A. & Y. train arrived last night, and
when the train did come in a freight
of fifty cars was being pushed along in
front. The freight engine broke down
at Richards, about s miles west Of the
city, and the only way for the passea-
ger train to reach the city without
waiting for a special engine to be sent
out from Wilmington was to push the
freight. The engines used on the pass
enger trains on the A. & Y. road are
not large by any means, and to have
pulled the regular train and pushed the
freight the little engine certainly did
have a task.
