James McNerhany ts dead, and his death resulted from violence, but whether acci- dental or {intentional is not known, for no one knew of his death until his body was found in the river, near the Virginia end of the Long bridge, on Saturday evening. From the appearance of the bedy it is thought he was drowned three or four days ago. Charles Campbell, who discovered the body in the water, had it laid on the bank untii the corener of Alex- andria county could be notified. A printers’ union card was the means of identifying the body. The dec:ased was a printer and had been employed in job offices. He was a hard drinker, and had attempted suicide several times, having jumped in the river on one oceasion. After the body was identified tt was learned that the unfortunate man went fishirg last Wednesday, and his friends think he fell overboard cidentally. He Was subject to epileptic fits, and it 1s pos- sible that while sitting on the bridge or ik he was taken with a fit and was un- able to save himself when he fell overboard. Undertaker J. W. Lee prepared the body for burial, a certificate of accidental death having been given by the coroner. The body was removed to the late home of the de- ceased, from where the funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon. Victim of Morpht Coroner Woodward was also called in to give a certificate of death in the case of a young man named Edward Speaks, whose death resulted from a twenty-five-grain dose of morphine, self-administered. Speaks was a shoe salesman in a 7th street store, but his fondness for Mquor made it impossible for him to attend to his duties, and so he joined the army of the unem- ployed. He had been in the habit of tak- ing morphine to steady his nerves and get him over the effects of the alcoholic stimu- lants, but Saturday evening he took a larger dose than usual. He was at his home, near 7th and I streets southeast, at the time, and when his relatives noticed his condition Dr. Coumbe was called in. The patient rallied several times and was able later in the evening to walk part of the way to the Emergency Hospital), where he was taken. Under the new treatment the patient soon showed signs of improve- ment at the hospital, but about 2 o'clock in the morning he*became worse and died. Speaks was conscious for nearly an hour before he died. Undertaker Mitchell pre- pared the body for burial, and the funeral will take place from the residence of Capt. Cooper, father-in-law of the deceased. He leaves a wife and two children. Took Corn Medicine, George Osgood, a carpenter, who had a good home at No. 27 Sth street, went home last night after having spent the evening with some friends. He had been érinking, but it had been a long time be- tween drinks, and he was so dry that he wanted another drink. Mrs. Osgood was at home when he reached the house, and he asked her for the price of a drink. She thought he had had enough for one day, and so she told hi no, and meant it. He begged for the money and threatened to swallow poison if he did not get it. His wife naturally thought he only said so be- cause he thought he would get the money, and so she would not give it to him. Turning from his wife the nervous man Picked up a bottle of corn medicine and swallowed a big dose of it. Even then his wife did not realize what he had done, and it was not until he appeared drowsy that ehe was fully aware of the probable seri- ous result of the dose. Then she sent for several doctors and had her husband sent to Freedmen’s Hospital. This morning he was able to return home. Horse Medicine. Saturday a colored man named Henson, who was employed in one of the construe- tion gangs on the Washington and Chesa- peake Beach railroad, swallowed a big dose of horse medicine, mistaking it for whisky. One hour later he died, and the county coroner gave a certificate of accidental death. Friends in this city will give him a decent burial. — Epworth League Debate.

It is explained that when the | appeal has been determined by the Supreme Court of the District, the right therein bas been exhausted. The Court of Appeals holds that while the act establishing the court might, if taken literally, embrace the right of appeals in such cases, the act was | not intended for the multiplicity of such ap- | peal, the amount at issue being less than | $100, Judge McComas had refused to allow the | appeal from his court, Criminal Court, No. 1, hearing civil causes,and the Court of Ap- peals was asked to reverse Judge McComas’ decision. The law, explains Chief Justice Alvey, provides for the hearing of appeals from justices of the peace in special terms of the District Supreme Court, and the de- cision of Juége McComas is, therefore, su: tained. ———.__—_ Affirmed by the Court of Appeals. In the case of Agnes L. W. Peugh, appel- lant, agt. Mary C. Mitchell, appellee, the Court of Appeals has handed down a de- elsion affirming the judgment below. The case was a suit in equity filed by Mary C. Mitchell against Agnes L. W. Peugh to an- nul a deed alleged to have been made by the complainant to the defendant, conveying lots 3 and 4, square south 1015. The com- Plainant alleged that the title to lots 2, 8, 4, 6 and 7, same square, was in her name, al- though her brother, Thos.A.Mitchell, owned all but lots 3 and 4. On February 26, 1892, she executed a deed to her brother of all the lots but 3 and 4. She claimed that the numbers of her brother's lots were after- ward erased by some unknown person and the numbers of her lots inserted. The defendant answered that she received the deed from complainant's brother, ‘Tho: A. Mitchell, in the same condition it ap- peared in court. The consideration given by her to Mitchell was two notes for $500 each. Complainant's bill was sustained, and a deeree rendered annulling the conveyance, and a reconveyance ordered. From this decree Mrs, Peugh appealed. The Court of Appeals affirms that judgment, finding that | the contentions of the complainant were sustained. Idle Labor Question.
