THRIHOT OF JURT.
Woman Came to Her Death From
Unknown Causes.
The coroner’s Jury which was try
ing the case of Frances Dillard, the
negro woman svke was baraed last
Saturday In the fire which destroyed
her home hi Fletebervllle met again
Wednesday and heard the evidence
from all parties witnesses to the
tragedy. Facta were developed
which go to show that there was
some mystery about the death, but
nothing could be found leading to
any direct cause of the death or
which would Implicate anybody In
the tragedy.
It scorns that she was not on good
terms with the woman living near
her on account of some land that aha
had pnrehased which the other par
ty did not wish her to own. Their
relations while not of a violent ma
ture wen never peccable or amia
ble. Thta was thought for the tlma
to have been eome evidence for the
theory that violence was don* Aar

that she has repeatedly requested

but was not present at the time ef
the fire aad came up after her bety

He knew nothing of tbe circum

screams were beard by those living
wltliin twelve feet of the house nor
was the fire discovered until after
It had gained considerable headway.
The jury could find nothing to
prove teat violence bad been done
her but their verdict showed that
there was doubt la their minds
whether she was killed by lire or
otherwise.
Their verdict was as follows

These are ends whleh if preperly at-
good to the agricultural Interests of

The operation of the train was
made possible through the attire co
operation of the fallowing railroads:
The Southern; Atlanta, Birmingham
A Atlantia; Atlantic Coast Line;
Seaboard Air Line; Georgia, South
ern ft Florida; Macon, Dublin ft
Savannah; Georgia; Ceatral of Geor

cere thanks are due, for without
their aid little could have been ac-

the Legislature failed to mako an ap
propriation for the maintenance ef
the College of Agriculture this year,
and It la at present being conducted
on funds borrowed on the Joint note
of the Trustees. In providing toe

have acted most generously, for It

that tbe service rendered If charged
