thought to be much below the actual vilue the british govern ment which lias held the estates for two centuries has by act of parliament passed- oij aug 4th cecided to pay aver to all legal heirs

verdict through the inquest on th body of the late dr w h maodouald bftoro ito formerly of aotou was reshmed on monday eveniiiff coroner johtiboii itt the ohair dr w h ellis testified that ho m pub- ho analyst had received the stomaolr and a portion of the intestines of deoeased from dr sheard ho examined them for poisonband fotind none poibons which would produce the symptoms observed at tho post mortem examination were nar cotics such as chloral bhlproform prubsio acid and morphine he had made special tests for these poisons and afterwards a general test for any poison whatsoever but after all these examinations had not found a traoe of poison of any description hear ing that a bottle of atropeine the active prinoiple of belladonna had been found in the deceaseds room -he- had examined oarefullyfor any traoe lot the drug but with the same result as before if deceas- ed had taken a hypodermio iujeotion sufuoiently definite conolasious could not be arrived at from a mere examination of the contents of the atomaob i- the coroner then addressed the jury he said that the evidences went to show that dr maodonald did not die from in juries inflicted by any person that he did not die from the effects of poison adminis tered by himself or any one else and that his death took plaoe without any straggle at time of his death drj macdonalf had in his room a quantity of an excessively deadly drug atropeine and he was known to possess one or two hypodermic syringes the coroner could easily conceive that if dr maodonald had this syringe tin his room he could have given himself too much of this drug and it would be almost im possible to detect the spot to which the syringe had been applied but the doctors whomadethe post mortem examination hadbtated positively that there were marks of tp hypodermio byringe on the body v j the jurymen were then- left to them selves and alter being absent for a short time brought in a- verdict simply stating that the deceased had come to his death through somo cause unknown io them the result of prof ellis analysis will disperse the fears of foul play entertained by some and the evidence goes to prove almost conclusively that the deoeased did not come to his death by an overdose of any anesthetic applied to obtain rest the doctors death is one of thoie mysterious occurrences whioh seem to lie beyond the power of mortal man
