Craigmiles, formerly of Rome, a stenographer at the First National bank of Birmingham, met a horrible death at the Eagle hotel in that city ebortly before 2 o’clqclf on Wednesday afternoon, • It seems that the young mah' at work in the bank all the morning. He left his place of business shortly after 1 o’clock and went to the hotel fur dinner. His room was on the fourth floor, facing east. He was apparently in the best of health at the time, und asked if dinner was ready as he went up to his room. On being informed that it was, he stated that he would go and bathe his face. This was the last seen of him until shortly before 2 o’clock, when a negro servant in passing around in the yard on the east side of the building under Craigmiles’ room, was horrified to find the young man’s dead body on the stone walk. His skull was broken and legs and arms frightfully mangled.one arm being twist ed almost off. Craigmiles was subject to epileptic fits, and it is regarded as almost certain that while near an open window he was seized with a fit and fell out. The dead man’s friends say this was undoubt edly the manner in which he met death, and scout the idea that he suicided. Craigmiles was about 35 years old and was unmarried. He was originally from Cleveland, Tenn. In Rome Mr. Craigmiles was connected with the First National bank. Ha went from here to Chattanooga aud thence to Birmingham. MARRIED YESTERDAY. Mr. John H.
