Yesterday was the coldest day of the season, tbe intense cold-ness being increased by the high winds that blew steadily from the North. The Board of Trade met yesterday to consider the city weighing trouble. After considerable discussion the Board concluded to patronize Mr. Leffingwell, the City Weigher, "instead of a defeated candidate, who wishes to ron private scales.

75 131 ABORTION OR WHAT? Dr. D. 8. eTcImsoQ Arrested on the Charge of Producing an Abortion, Resulting In Death of the Mother and the Child. Testimony Introduced Before tbe Coroner's Jury of Inquest.

Ia Monday's Leookb was published an account of an inquest held npen the body of an infant found dead in Mrs. Widrig's boarding-house, on the corner of 8econd and Winchester streets. From, information received yesterday by Chief of Police Atby Dr. D. 8.

Jehusoo, who keeps a private infirmary at No. 18 Jefferson street, was arrested this morning, the mother of the infant above referred having died last night. Yesterday Chief Athy called at Mrs. Widrig's and talked to the sick woman. She said her name wus Kate McCormick and risided at Humboldt, Tenn.

Chief Athy at once telegraphed to Mrs. McCormick at Hum. boldt, hut when ehe arrived last her unfortunate daughter had bees dead a few hour. The girl Katie bad been seduced by a uivi in LlYmboldt, aud ale came to tbia city to giva birth to a child and to bide her shame. This forenoon our special reporter attended the inquest neld on the.

body of Katie McCormick by Coroner Spelman. THE DtlD 01 BL. The bowding-houee of Mr. Widrig is in a double one-story frame tenement on the corner of Winchester and Second streets. The body of the deceased was laid out oi a board and was covered with a white sheet The room att neatly furnished, and on the table were a number of books, among others a bible, hymn book aud prayer book.

Katie McCormick lay thore, her white fatte turned up toward heaven, her eyes and with an expression upon her cold face as if in prayer. She waa blonde, with a clear cut and' bandsoma face, tall and large in size. A wealth of golden bair was coiled up on her head b-air that resembled that painted by idculistie artists in thoir pictures of the Made no er of the Canci. She appeared to hare been about twenty-one yearn of age. THB TKSTIMOXT.

Coroner Spolmau summoned a jury of citizens and the following testimony was heard Mrs. Widrig was sworn and stated that the girl name to her house some time be fare Christmas, but only stayed one night that she came back three weeks ago, and on Saturday night, or, Sun. day morning, she was delivered of a dead child; that Dr. Johnson had been attend ing ber; tbat her suspicions were aroused and she asked Katie to tell her the wlaole truth; on Sunday Dr. Frayaer had been seot to see Katie by Chief Atby aod told bor tbat the girl would die; this she told to Katie, who seemed much affected and made a confession; she said: "Mrs.

Widrig, I think my time is short," and then she addled: Dr. Jobuson gava the medicine to destroy my child; tell Dr. Johnson that I promised not to deceive him or tell any personf but the time has come when I can keep the secret no longer; I paid Dr. Johnson twenty-five dollars for the medicine; he gave me the medicine some three weeks ago, and said if it did not do its work in six days it would be a failure; I took tbe medicine from Dr. Johnson to kill my child and aid bim twenty-five dollars for it." Mollie Brown sworn; Katie told me last night that Dr.

Johnson sent her medicine by express; ehe said to me she was satisfied she was going to die, and that Dr. Johnson was the of it. Mrs. Keith sworn: Katia told me she asked Dr. Johnson for medicine to destroy her child, and that ha advised her not to take it, and if sha took his advice he would befriend her; I did not see her until Sunday lust; she said she came here to hide her shame; that uo one knew of her coming but her mother; ber othor friends thought tbat she liad gone North on a visit.

Dr. Marable testified as follows: On Sunday morning was callci by Dr. Johnson to make a cull; he told me about tbe CdSe, and said he had prescribed for diarrhea; tbe treatment was correct as stated by Dr. Johnson; he said that he had discovered tbat she had a baby last night, but that aho was in danger of dying from tho afterbirth; I attended to her immediately, and gave her the necessary remedies te stop the flooding, and the remedies resulted successfully; the girl appeared very weak; Dr. Johnson and I went to see Chief Athy at once with reference to the dead child, and at my instigation Dr.

Johnson called upon Coroner Spelman to hold an inquest on the dead infant, which inquest was held on Sunday; I advised Dr. Johnson as to the necessary treatment to place tbe girl undes with a view to her recovery; tbe girl had diarrhea and I prescribed with Dr. Johnson for its treatment; the girl was nervons and troubled in mind; she said she was out of money and had no friends; trouble of mind and excitement very often cause abortions or miscarriages, and tbe greatest trouble physj-cians have iu such cases ie to keep the patients quiet; I think flooding and mental anxiety was tbe cause of her death. Dr. Johnson testified as follows: Thrco weeks ago J.

nrst saw tne aeceasea; she- came to myoujee aod told her story, and wanted to bide her disgrace; I advised her not to commit abortion as it was against the law; 1 called to see ber at Mrs. Wed-rig's boarding-house and prescribed for diarrhea; on Sunday morning I called and found that she had miscarriage; I then called on Dr. Marable; the prescription given her by me was atscita'e of lead and morphine; tha girl seemed troubled and said she wonld sooner die than live; she said this both before and after tbe abortion had taken place. Mrs. Widrig recalled: Dr.

Fryer called yesterday afternoon aod told me that death was inevitable; I told this to Katie McCormick and then ehe made the confession abovs stated; when Dr. Frayaer left Katie asked tne: Is the doctor going to do anything for me?" I replied: No, Katie; tbe doctor sajrt you most die;" she tbeu commenred "praying and crying; she said ehe gave Dr. Johuton twentj-five dolinre for tha medicine to procure an aboriiou; 'he medicine was sent her by express, and Khe said Dr. Johnaon told her that if tbo medicine did not relieve her in six days it wonld do no good; Dr. Johnson on Saturday morning took tbe bottle of medicine away; she was confined on Saturday evening; before her death she put her arms around me aod kissed me; she was perfectly rational; I pressed her to tell me all about it, aud she said she wanted to se3 Dr.

Johnson first; she said be had made the arrangement with Dr. Johnson when she was here first before Christmas; she then returned to Humboldt aod came, back three weeks ago last Friday; vhen she was hure before Christmas she only stayed one night at my house; suid she was poor and wanted to get some tewing to do; she was absent about two weeks. Tbe girl's trunk was examined by the Coroner's jury and a letter from Alle gheny, was found therein. It was signed by a female friend. The inquest closed and the body of tbe unfortunate deceased was left in charge of ber mother, to be carried back to Humboldt for interment.

THK KKBULT. The jury of inquest was lnable to agree np to 1 o'clock to day, and ad journed over to 5 o'clock this afternoon to consider a verdict. In the meantime, by request of Chief of Police Athy, Drs. Wiilett aud Henuing will hold a post mortem examination of the body of tbe deceased this a'lernoon in order to discover, if possible, some trace of the medicine given to aod taken by the. unfortunate girl.

A strange phenomena was witnessed in North Memphis this moruing by hundreds of people. i It was snow two or three inches deep, pure and white, juBt as it fell io its virgin purity from the clouds, while in all the rest of tbe city nut a flake was to be seen or had been seen anywhere. Such occurreuces are very rare, but since Prof. Tice took charge of the weather bureau many remarkable facts have boon recorded, and we mention this as the more singular because this is the first snow seen in Memphis this winter, and just before the recent cold snap pettish aud plum trees were seen iu full bloom and all vegetation seemed a month ahead of tbe season. Lest North Memphis people doubt this statement just because they happened not to see the snow, we will state that it fell somewhere up tbe country and came in on the morning pitesenuer train, and tbe weather being bitter cold, it may be seen all day and perhaps longer th boys let It alone.

These morning and evening eclipie gradunlly grow longer and longer, until about a yeurli passed, by which time they last through the whole of the Saturnian day, now transformed to night. This state of things continue for nearly seven years, during the whole of which time tbe aun is altogether concealed from view, uuless now and then for a moment he can be partly seen between the satellites which compeso tbo rings. From the blackness of tbo shadow thrown by the rings, however, it is very onlikely that gaps through which the euu may thus seen are at all common. After these years of what must ba regarded as practically total eclipse, the morning and evening eclipses 'hegiu again, and gradually last for a shorter and shorter time, until about three before the vernal equinox.

Then tor about wenty years, which includes the long Saturninn summer, tbe sun is nut eclipsed by the rings; moreover, as he begins to illuminate the visible side of the rings, at tbe Satcrnian vernal equi-uox, it follows that during the Saturniau summer nights tbe ring appears as a baud of brightness on the Satnrnian ekr, except where tbe Bbadow of the planet fails upon it. Ihe circumstance here considered seem to accoid with what has been already noticed in the cae of the satellites. The ring system does not seem calculated to render Saturn's globe a more convenient place for living creatures. On the coutrary, a portion of tbat small supply of light which Saturn receives from the Sun is intercepted from the rings precisely at the period when, according to our ideas, it would be most desirable that the sup- ply should bo increased; while throughout the Saturnian winter nights the ring system supplies no light whatever, but blots out many hundreds of stars irotn view. The just inference would be thet either Saturn is altogether uninhabited or that the creatures inhabiting the planet are so different from any with which we are aoquainted that we can form no estimate of their requirements.

The essay closes with tbe following description of the planet, seen through a powerful telescope: The rings are yellow ochre shaded with the same and sepia; the globe, yellow ochre and brown maider, orange and purple, shaded with sepia; tbe crupe-ring, purple madder and setiia; thecreat division in the riugs, sepia. Tbe pole and the narrow belts, situsied nertr to it uu the globe, pale cobalt blue. 'These tints are the nearest I could find to represent those seen on li planet, but there is a muddiness about all terrestrihl colors when compared with tbe colors of objects seen in the skies. These colors could uot be seen in their brilliancy and purity, nuless we could dip our pencil in a raiubow, and transfer the prismatic lints to our paper. Japonic Oddlilea.

Their flesh does not become so succulent and tender upon a diet of rice as upon meal and corn. The Japanese have an odd name for this bird, signifying the "seven colored front the changiug hues of the gobbler's gills.

In tbe same way their name lor the crab, the animal that walks "seven ways." 8peokitig of curious names reminds me of what tbe Coolies tay about chestnut) and sweet potatoes. These poor fellows who perform the most toilsome and prolonged tasks for a mere pittance, who "bear the burden and the heat of the day," iu tbe fullest sense of the expression, have a hearty appreciation of good food. Toiliug as they do for daily wages that would not purchase food for a child in our country, cheap food is a ueceaf.iiy of Iheir lives. Hence they feed largely upon sweet potatoes, the cheapen ol all edibles iu Japan. Chestnuts, which are kcown as nine mile nuls," while not, excessively dear, Rr generally heyoud the means of the Coolies.

But they delight to fancy that 6weet potatoes are almost as good as chestnuts, as they accordingly dub the potatoe "eight mile and a half lood," which makes it only half a mile short of the chestnut. A man who lives on choetnuts can go nine Japanese miles (about twenty two aud a halt' English miles) in a day, while ho who eats sweet potatoes cau go einbt miles and a half (twenty-oue and a quarter English miles), hence the names. Notwithstanding what seems to ns to be tbo weak and insufficient diet of the Japanese laboring men, their endurance and strength are trnly wonderful. I have ridden sixty miles betwoen suu and eun in a jynrickisba drawn by two Coolies, and the day after that 1 went about forty miles more wiih the same two men. At tbe end of the first day's journey they did not seem to be very fatigued.

Immediately after stopping at a tea house for the right they took a bath in witter so hot that I could not have washed my hands in it, and after comfortably parboiling them-seluea got out, took a heavy meul of ric? -and dried fish, and then rat ud almost all the night garabHug and drinking saki. On the coldest davs, and even when there is snow on ground, yon can sen these fellows ou the street with no clothing save a thin cotton shirt, a pair of pants of the same material readm to the knees, and straw sandals. Nor d'i they seem to be particularly cold, though a foreigner would consider their costume sufficient for a wurm summer day.
