Daily
Intemperance and Exposure
i
Yesterday afternoon Chief of Police
Brock received information, that Mr.
Bethazar Smith bad been found dead in
his store bnilding, on the corner of
Bladen "and Ninth streets.. Coroner
Jacob was notified of the lact, and he
sent an officer to look ont for the re
mains until ?f jury could be summoned
and an inquest held. The following
jury of inquest were summoned: viz. J .
Sterrberger, foreman; W. H? Bradley,
G. W. Betts. G. A. A. Poppe, John H.
Howe and J. Wl Galloway. At 10
o'clock this forenoon, the Coroner, ae
com ran Ld by the jury, proceeded to
the late residence of the deceased and
held an inquest in due form of law.
The following was the testimony
elicited:
Isaac Royaler, being dnly sworn,
said I and Mr. (Jr. L Schuttecame to
the store and residence of deceased
about 2 o'clock p. m., January. 7th,
and, finding them closed and notseeiDg
Smith any where around, our suspicions
led us to make search for him. A
neighbor then climbed up to the
window of his bed chamber and said
that Mr. Smith was there by his bed
side in n kneeling position, apparently
dead. ' .
Mrs. Jennie Farrow, being sworn,
said: As .ny little girl was passing
Mr. Smith's store, Mr. Smith called
her in and asked her to close his doors
for him. She saw that he was in a
helpless condition, and returned home
to get me to assist him. I returned
wttu her this being at about 6 o'clock
p. m. , Jan. 6Lb, 1835autl found him
in a very helpless way, but, apparent
ly, not drunk, although suffering from
the effects of drinking. lieppeared to
bo very sensible wjiile I was with him,
and at the lime I left him. Mr. Smith
was addicted to celling on long sprees.
I don't think Mr. Smith bad any ma
licious enemies, but recollect a boister
ous quarrel between him and Sallie
Kesler, alias Sallie Powell, about one
month ago.
G. L. Schutte, bsing duly sworn,
said: Mr. Smith has been on a heavy
spree over since Christmas, his store
often found to be closed in his business
hours, and he neglecting his basmess.
On Monday, Jan. 5th, several of the
neighbors, with myself, were alarmed
by the issuing of volumes of smoke
from Mr. Smith's house and, upon ex
amination, we discovered the premises
fastened up; but we effected an en-,
trance by raising a bar on the East
door, when we saw Mr. Smith, very
drunk, sitting on a rocker by the hearth
with the flames "bilging out around
him and licking up over the mantel
piece. We rushed to him. outcd the
flames and rendered all assistance
that his condition reqtrred. Evidently
ho had used kerosene and to6 much
lightwood. On the 7ih ot January, at
about 2 o'clock j. m., I was told by a
colored person that Mr. Smith's store
had been closed all day, and. in compa
ny with Isaac Royster and John Wil
liams, I went to the store, to see what
was the matter. We found the store
closed, whereupon John Williams
climbed up to hi3 chamber window and
announced to us that Mr. Smith was
-kneeling at bis bedside and apparently
dead. Williams went in and found his
suspicions to be' true, and then went
down stairs to let Royster, myself and
others into the house. We satisfied
ourselves of his death and came away,
after ceasing the house, and I sent a
message by telephone to the Chief of
Police, informing him of the matter.
Mr. Smith has been addicted to fre
quent heavy sprees. Have known him
to attempt suicide once by taking laud
anum. Do not think that his death
was an intentional uicide, but rather,
caused from the effects of a long and
severe spree.
Mary Harrow being sworn, said I
came by Mr. Smith's store Tuesday
evening and he called me in to help
him. I went back and got my mother
to come with me to help him. We
helped all we could. We put him in
his bedsnd then went home.
Louisa Thompson, being duly sworn,
said I saw Mr. Smith on Sunday
aiht, about halt past 7 o'clock, at his
store He was calling for assistance,
and I went oyer and waited on him
till be seemed satisfied, when I went
back home. He was very drunk.
Have not seen him since.
Upon the testimony adduced the ver
diet of the jury was that, "The deceas-
carae t0.his deaUl fKm the,. freue.nt
and excessive use of alcoholic spirits
and exposure."
The deceased Was a German by
birth, about 36 years of age. and it is
said that he had no relatives living in
this country. His wife died several
j years ago, and left no children.

. Who Can Tell?
We have been asked, "When aro we
to have a repetition of the Art. Literary
and Musical Entertainment which was
recently given for the benefit ot the
Library Association?" We learn that
a petition, signed by many prominent
citizens, was sent to the managers some
time since, asking that, the entertain
ment be repeated for the benefit of the
Ladies Benevolent Society. This is a
most worthy object and one which will
appeal to all so strongly that an enter
tainment gotten up for -the 'benefit of
the Society would meet with a prompt,
hearty and generous response from our
people.
Have Arrived.
The instruments for the Germania
Cornet Band, which is the name adopt
ed by the new musical organization,
arrived this morning. They were or
dered through Mr. C. W. Yates, trom
the house of J. Howard Forte, of New
York, aud were placed on exhibition
in the window of the lormcr, on Mar
ket street, to-day. The instruments
arc of German silver, of elegant work
manship and .consist of two E-flat cor
nets, two B-flat cornets, two altos,
two tenors, two baritones, one B-flat
base, one E-fiat base, snare drum, base
drum and cym bats. There will be a
meeting of the band to night at which
members of the Cornet Concert Club
will be present to test the several in
struments.
'-
Worthy and Unwortuy Poor.
There is no doubt that there is a good
deal of destitution in the city, but we
are aware thai ther-s are cases where
the poverty is the result of absolute
laz ness. We have been informed by a
gentlemen who is in a position to
know the condition of the really indi
gent of the city that, while there are
many who are worthy and aro really
needy from circumstances over which
they have no control, there are others
sod the number is entirely too great
who Sre in , absolute wsnt. and
dependent upon charity, simply be
cause they are too (say to try and ob
tain employment. The former class
are worthy of every benevolent sym
pathy and assistance, while the latter
deserve nothing, and we hope that our
kindlv disposed and benevolent
citizens will take pains to ascertain,
whether those asking alms are worthy
of assistance or not before they bestow
their charity.
Among the high, low, rich and poor,

no equal for bodily pains and aches.
