A police station house Is a good thing to

It should bo comfoitahle not cozy or lux

that is anti malarial and anti rheumatic

Tho deceased wasn son of Mrs Gaines by

of Ills stepfather Gen Gaines until a fuw
years ago w lien on account of somo family

and to tho day of his death his old friends
nlways addressed liiiu ns Gaines Ho always
signed his naino as William Gaines until
tho past few years
Immediately upon tho secession of South
Carolina he then a resident of this city
and n clerk in tlio Treasury Department
decided to cast his lot with tho South
and resigning his position crossed tho lino
Ho served with distinction in a Maryland
Confederato battery His mother Mrs
Myrn Clark Gaines and his sister Miss
Kiioiia wiutney wlioso Ilrst Husband was
Dr Strotlier of Kentucky from whom sho
was dlrorcesl and aftorwurd married Christ
mas were subected to much harsh treat
ment hy thu Union forces mid through or

learo Washington in tho dead told of win
ter and conveyed across the lines to tho
South
Tho deceased was a man of much mag
nctism of nature and always boro thu
honored repute of being us truo n friend us
ever existed His heart and his purso was
over ready at a call from a friend
Fiom youth to his death ho had been a
subject of epileptic fits and this weakness
added to a life longcxccsslvo ttso of tobacco
rendered him nervous and at times uncon
trollable Thodsiy previous to thohomicido
ho was seized with a fearfully violent at
tack of epilepsy
Mr Whltnoy was a natlvoof Philadelphia
hut after thu marriage of his mother to
Gen Gaines tho family removed to Louisi
ana and ho was reared In tho South
A HTIIAKOK COINCIDKNCK
associated with this homicide is tho fact
that many years ago previous to tho win
tho father of Mr Christmas shot nnd killed
a free negro In North Carolina and was tried
and hanged for tho criino A cousin of
Christmas was also hanged for murder
JIIIS MYRA CLARK ClAlNES
Mrs Gaines wus fully cognizant of tlio
unfoituuato dlfllculty existing betweon her
sou and and acted as mediator
between them iu order to bring about a
restoration of their former amicable rela
tions but never dreamed that there could
ariso fiom their misunderstanding any seri
ous dilliculty whiclrwould result so fatally
She had advised Mr Christmas not to tako
nny notice of her son who when ho becamo
oviItiil from bis nflllpHnim nf wim
not responsible Tho peculiar relations of
nrs Games to tno parties make lier posi
tion most painfully distressing nud wo learn
this sudden blow lias utterly pi ost rated
her
The statement iu this mornings Putt that
among the baskets containing solids and
fruits sent to Mr Christmas on Saturday
night last was ono from Mrs hilues wo
are authorized to say is wholly untrue mid
unfounded also tho assertion of tlio ftiiJv
llcrahl that Mrs Gaines had sent a messen
ger to Mr Christmas on that night is a mis
take and is not truo Thoso statements
would go to Implicate Mrs Gaines as lean
ing iu favor of tho accused which do her
the greatest injustice and are rcpungant to
tho noble nature of a woman of tho high
soulcd principles of Mrs Gainos who since
the homicide has taken no part whatever
for or against Mr Christmas leaving it tho
courts to develop and decide tho facts
