KtHCBaB. We find the following In
the Paducab Aas .
"Henry Ward Beecuer will lecture at
Evansville next week, and we learn that
an effort will be made by some of our
citizens to Induce him to visit Paducah
Should they be successful, he will get a
crowded house to hear the man of tbe
many-sided character and reputation.
In spite of all the dlflerences ot opin
ion In regard to him among the people
of the country, uo one has questioned
hit ability and eloquence, and our peo
ple, without admiring him in any respect,
will doubtless be glad to sec one so noted,
as be, both before and sim the tilt, with
Tliton."
If Paducab can have Eeeeuer, why can
not Cairo. If he could be iuduccd to
come here people would pay the ad
mission fee merely to see hlra.
Hoftss This- Captured. Venter
day morning between 11 and 12
a young man called at Carle's llyery
stable on Washington avenue.near Tenth
street, and wanted to hire a berse, stating
that he wasted to go across the river
Into Missouri. In the course of the con
venation with Mr, Carle tbe young fellow
stated that he had borse with blm, but
that the animal bail been ridden bard
and be wanted to give him a tew duys'
rest and : would leave him with Mr,
Carle until his return. After question
ing the follow for some time, Mr. Carle
became convinced that tbo fellow had
stolen the horse, and accused him
with the theft. The lellow, alter
a good deal of parleying, virtually
acknowledged that the horae was stolen
and attempted to get away. However,
Mr. Carle succeeded In detaining him
until Chief Arter could be sent for, and
on the arrival ot Arter the lellow was
arretted and locked up. The horse, a
small sorrel, bllud ;in the right eye, .It
In Mr. Carle's possession, and tbe owner

Incitement over the finding of tbu
dead body of Mr, John W. Carter still
runt high among the people of Mound
City, and nothing else Is thought or
talked of. Our reporter visited that
village again yesterday In the hope of
learning something new concerning the
tragic affair, and spont four or five
hours In talking to leading citizens
of that place aud listening to tho evi
dence as It wai given I lore the cor
oner's Jury.
As stated in the Bui.lbii.x yesterday
morning, the coroner's jury, after giving
the matter more thought, became satis
ied that they
HAD UI.KM HAtTY
at their first meeting in rendering a ver
dict of death by suicide, and the senti
ment among them that a further Investi
gation should be bad was unanimous.
Accordingly at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon the jury reassembled In Judge
Mertz' olflce, and on motion of Dr. N.
R. Casey it was resolved to reconsider
their former verdict and to enter Into
a more thorough aud
HBAKCIIINU INVESTIGATION.
All the witnesses ,who testified at the
first sitting, and a large number ot
others, were resummoned to appear be
fore tbe ury. Judge Mertz acted as
foreman ol the jury .and conducted the
examination ot tbe witnesses.
THE COLORED PORTER, WAT11,
was the first w itness called, and he tes
titled to going Into the building about
seven o'clock in the morning and find
log the body Hnd giving the alarm. His
evidence was substantially at Mhtcd In
tbe Bn lktis yesterday.
MB. tJEOKOe HOF.RI4
testified ihtit he was going down town
about half past even o'clock and met
Mr. Kittle ou the railroad track who
told blm IhRt .Mr. Carter was dead.
They went Into the depot together and
saw Ihe body lying on the bed. The
room was quite dark at tbo time, but
they could see very well. Carter was
laying on bis back with his right hand
on his breast. The hand was covered,
but a portion of the tlbow was exposed.
He asked Mr. Kittle to move the body
and see If It was rigid. Mr. Kittle put
his bind under Carter's head, and when
he palled It out again bis hand was cov
ered with blood. The hand was covered
and be could not see the pistol. Mr.
Morris said that if the hand had been
exposed he could have seen the pistol.
Mr, Kittle did not remoye the clothing.
The bedclothlng oyer Mr. Carter did not
Indicate a struggle, and was arranged
abmit as one would fit them In covering
up. The head was lying forward nn the
breast, and Inclined slightly to the left.
There was no apparent fiUturbancp of
the bedclothlng,
Mr. Kittle was the next witiuss, and
be said be could i,ly coiioli-rute .Mr.

GEOROK KICIUHIX,

tbe ottice when he went in between
eleven and twelve o'clock, preparatory
to going out to meet the up train oti the
Illinois Central. The lamp was burning

He blew out the light ami went out and
locked the door. He did not return
until a quarter before five o'clock lu the
morning, and when he went into the
office he found the lamp had been lighted
aud the door leading to the bedroom was
opeu. Ho did not go Into the bedroom,
but after putting away the mull and at
tending to souie other matters again

had seen a woman In tho bedroom on a
lormnr occasion, and knew that "when

Miss X. Xo, tltere was not.
The greater portion of the time while
Miss Xewgent was on the stand she was
crying bitterly, and answered the ques
tions propounde 1 with her lace covered
with a handkerchief. She is rather
above the ordinary heighth of women,
with a handsome face, bright black eyes,
fair complexion and light hair, and withal
quite good looking. Her conduct while
on the stand was modest, and she
seemed to feel deeply the position in
which she wa placed. She wore a com
mon blue waterproof, and hat covered
with a browu veil.
Millie Craln, an old colored woman,
testified that she had been oat attending
a sick woman, aud It was about 4 o'clock
In the morning when she went home.
Just after passing Carter's otllce she
heard a sound like that of the discharge
ot a pistol, which came from the direc,
lion ot the depot. She paid no attention
to It at the time, and went home.
A number ot other witnesses were ex
amined, but nothing further of Impor
tance was elicited, ine lnqiien was
then adjourned until Monday morning,
at 10 o'clock, when several witnesses
will be examined.
fCBMC SENT1MI AT.
Public sentiment has undergone uo
change as to the manner ot Mr. Carter's
death, and there Is not three men In the
place who believe that it was a suicide.
All tho circumstances the position of
the burly , the wound In the head, and
a dozen other Incidents go to show that
ltjwas a case of murder. But who did
it and the motive, are mysteries which
It seems impossible to fathom.
THE fl'.NERAL.
It was not deflnately known yester
day whether tbe funeral would take
place on Mouday or Tuesday, owing to
the fact that It Is not known when the
relatives of tho deceased will arrive.
I he Odd Fellows of Mound City and

Below we give a number ol reasons
why people should buy tholr grocerlei
from Pettis A Bird :
1 it. Because their stncki is the target'
frehest and choicest In the city.
2nd. -Because they lell goodiof every
kind tbraper than any other houe In the
city.
3rd. lUetiUie they deliver goods more
promptly and In better .'Imp than any
other house In the city.
4th. live aue they keep the most com
plete slock, and persons desiring to
purchase 'ilflerent kinds of goods are not
compelled to go eliewhero because
Messrs. P. JL B. bave not got tbe goods
they want. .
Theso we consider substantial reasons
why our readers should buy their goods
ot Pettis A Binn,
Corner 14th st, and Washington avenue.
Also Just recrlved a lurpe lot of Yar
