citizen (
_t seems that for the
SStmBOBtts he**? been in a melan-
r>fnW state of mind bordering on rnean-
and this has been noticed by some of
hi* friend*. Some time eince he bought
what l» know 0 as the old Beasley place,
near the site of the old armory and
resided eince. Oa Sunday he was
T n by a number of hie friends and
MBplaintd to several of hie troubles. Oa
finndar night he was very reatless and
fseaed greatly depressed. The fact that
be had bought the place at whioh he
lived and had spent a good deal of money
on it eeemed to weigh upon bis mind, and
i* tbs only explanation for the rash act.
The place itself is one of the neatest,
best arranged places for a market gar
den or orchard about the city. The
house had juet been renovated and im
proved, the fencing put in thorough
repair,»littlo vineyard flourishes in its
vernal beauty on the hill as the resi
dence is approached, and in the yard
rosei bloom on evesy haud, filling the
iir witt their soft perfume. The place
looked anything but like the home of a
inicide. Mr. Eisner had accumulated in
a life of industry a competency and was
in comfortable ciroumstancea. Thrift
budded out on every sido and it eeemed
si if the monster death would knock at
many another gate before this one.
Tne case, however, presents some re
markable circumstances of premeditated
dolioeration and a coolness in execution
which showed that the deceased, waa bent
upon stlf-destruction.
Yesterday morning ho rose and attend
ed as usual to the duties about the lot,
feeding hi» obickena and horse. At
about ten minutes after seven o’clock he
sent his nephew, Mr. Fred. Eisner, the
only person living on the plaoe except
deceased, with bis horse to the city, and
as ho left at the gate the unfortunate
man shook hands with him and eeemed
very tad. He assured hie nephew that
nothing serious was about to happen.
When he returned his uncle was dead.
The body was lying face down ward in the
back porch, the bead resting upon the
right side of the face. Tha left hand
waa folded under the breast, with tho
palm upward, the right arm doubled with
the hand resting under the right ehonlder.
The body was stretched at full length,
and wae without shoes or coat. The end
of a double barrel shot-gun rested under
his leg, the ramrod lying under his
breast. By hia side was an overturned
beer kee. His shirt wae literally dyed with
blood, while splotches of blood lay coagu
lating upon the floor. The dark red
drops oozed from bis nostrils, and the
back of hia head and neck were red with
this flowing life-tide. Tho ceiling, tome
ten feet in height, was spattered with
blood, and a few shot bed, among the
drops of red, loft their imprint.and showed
more plainly than ever, the direction ta
ken in their errand of death.
On the lower rail of the lattice work,
which partially enclosed the piazza was a
freshly split place. All tbe circumstances
point to the conclusion that after closeing
the house up securely, putting the keys
in his pocket as a eafeguaid against rob
bery, tbe deceased took bis gun, placed
the butt on the lower rail of the lattice,
the muxzle resting just below hia breast
and fired it with the ramrod. In falling,
tho keg turned, throwing the deceased on
his face.
As toon as practieabls Coroner Chap
man empanrlad a jary, and an inquest
was held. Tbe following evidenos was
adduced. The first witness called was
Dan Jones, colored, who being sworn,
deposed:
Mr. Ei-ner wanted witness to set out
some cabbage phnls, sod he hed oarried,
them to him. When bo got to the hoirie
he did not sec Eisn«r, and walked tao bad

Tbe deceased was up with hia friends
until 12 o’clock on Sandsy night, when he
went up to-his room. Mr. Mornningstar
who is boarding at the hotel in room,No.
21, went up Btairs with him. They ghatr
ted until 1 o’clock, when Mr. M. retired.
He noted that he seemed depressed,'and
said he was intending to leave bhetity
the next day, Monday. : -i<»- !>►*
In the morning yesterday the servants
in the hotel endeavored to wake him, and
on tho snggestioa to let him sleep, he was
left undisturbed. List night as be still
did not make hia appearanoe an investi
gation took place with the result above
staled. By the bed sido where the oorpse
lay in B3 peao^fnl and cilm a position as
possible, was a table. On at was ■to
empty bottle labled “morphine.” In -'.a
glass by its side the remnants of tbe fay
tal white powder could oe seen. By the
side cf the gists lay a razor in its case
and open pocket knife. Besides there
was a fan with his name and tho names of
a number of persons and places, a.faucv
tobacco pouch and a merschauia-pipe
while over all felt the failing rays of the
Lmp which had evidently been lighted' ’
the night before and outlived the lamp
of life of him who had created it light.
Around the room were evidences of taste
and refinement in several fancy articles,
and a lot of photographs in a fancy
crochetted frame—pictures of his mother,
eiater, and perhaps someons else.
Coroner Chapman was summoned, and
between 12 and 1 o’clock this morning
hell an inquest. > -
The following jury was eworn in:
Hayne Ellis, Foreman, O. N. Dana, J. C.
Bannou, J. H. Campbell, A. R. Wood-
son, Dr, W. R. Holmes, J S. Iv-rsou, H.
B. Mathews, W. H. Woodson, F. B. Bev-
ille, M. IgUuer, J. W. Chester.
Their investigations showed the fasts
above stated. A search through bis pa
pers revealed in one fold of his pocket-
book a memorandum wbich read i
“Should any aooident befall me, the
rightful owner of this pooket book, please
send, tbe oontents to Miss Lizzie M*
Brackett, Indian Ridge, Csrritnck Court
House, North Carolina, my sister.”
This look-d as if it oA.i o,eu written

sealed envelope On the inside was a
slio with tbe same ao di on it.
O her papers w-re round, many letters
from Norfolk, Ytrginia. and a number
fromL. Dozier, Superintendent of Pub
lic Schools in Fernandinn, Florida. He
seems to have been a teacher and also
a Sunday School teacher at some previ
ous date.
After a full investigation the jury
found a verdict of death from an overdose:
of morphine administered by his o- n
hand. Mr. Brocket* has been ir« on> c ty

'4 be revival of the military spirit in
our city on Memorial Day was quite
general and was a pleasant surprise, not
only to the e-tidier* themselves, but to
tho citizsns, who had-concluded that tha
military udor had found a bloodless
t,mb. The Battalion is on the np grade,
however, and we hope may-soon regain
its former position, it is now one of ttia
finest military corps in tbs State.
On Saturday afternoon at the drees pa

orders were issued by Colonel Wiley, and
coming from their commanding officer,
were very highly appreciated hy tha com

Board daring the post year—ite eesond
year of existence.. It has kept twenty-
four misaionaries in tbe field, including
the Corresponding Secretary and the B.
S. Evangelist, all of whom have toiled
faithfully and with sood success. Among
them was Rsv. J. IL. Corley^ wbo, with
three assistants, colored men, labored
among tho freedmen, held Institutes
for the colored ministers, and organized
Sunday-schools among the colored peo
ple, of whom they had baptized one hun
dred and nineteen. The summary of
work for the year by the missionaries of
the beard equals the labor of one man
fer sixteen years, ami the results accom
plished arc Sermons and addresses,
3.175; baptized, 267; Sandty- schools or

incidental labor of a beneficial tendency,
<11 of which was accomplished by the
collection and expenditure of $9,036 77.
AGXD MIKISTXBS AND OBFHANS.
It m*y not be amiss here, in speaking
of what has b«en-done daring tbs lost,
year, to meqtipa that $429 were collected,
for aged mbpstejisI in spr, denomination
by the committee! appointed for that
purpose, and ten were relieved ip a de
gree. The Board or Committee whiob

They also reporta balanco of over $500

Tha Institution waa reported in a

tion if ooogrstnlaUd npon its gratifying
euocass: Us assets, besides real estate,
amounts to over $103,000, and should be
increased. Twelve young gsotlsmeo,
(as fesnsficiarist), have enjoyed Us ad
vantages during tbe post year, while the
number of students hays been about125.
Tha Convention has under Its .susotoes

the Hearn school for bojs and gills,
(belonging to tbs Convention), at Cave
spring, Georgia, whiob is prosperous;
and tbe Crawford High Sohool, at Dal
ton, which is a decided success. Meioer
High Sohool, st Penfieid, Is also flour inn
ing. Though not legitimately connected
with tbe Convention, it is not improper
to mention, with eommendation, tbe In
stitution for eduoatiog ooloted Baptist
ministers at Augusta, sustained by the
American Baptist Publication Society.
VARIOUS MATTISS.
A special resolution wa* adopted by the
Convention indicating emphatically that
the chenge, for economics! reasons, in
the missionary operations of our State is
not to be construed as intended to pre
vent tbe secretaries of onr Home and
Foreign Boards from visiting ns in our
conventional, associations! and church
meetings; but that, on the contrary, they
are earnestly desired and requested to do
so.
A rnolntion was bIbo alopted highly
of their duty in their benevolent and ed?
ncational enterprises.
