A BUSY DAY FOR THE CORONER.

Three Inquests in Twenty-fOur Hours
Yesterday was busy day with the
Coroner and within twenty-four hours
three inquests were held. On Thursday
night he was notified Of the sudden and
unacc0unted for death of a colored man
named Cumber Frazier, found dead in his
house. in WOodyille, about four miles
west Of the city. He Immediately pro
ceeded 10 the place, and, after
an examination. summoned a jury Of in
quest The testimony of the witnesses
showed that the deceased went to bed as
usual on Wednesday night, and not rising
at the usual hour the following morning
he was called by his people. There being
no response, their fears were aroused,
and upon going to his bedside he was
found dead. The jury, in accordance
with the facts developed by the testimony
Of the witnesses, and by the examination
Of the body, rendered a verdict OF death
from prOyidential causes. The deceased
probably died from heart disease.
In the case Of Edward Louie, who was
buried yesterday with military hOnOrs by
the Forest City Light Infantry, the jury
rendered a similar verdict.
The third inquest held was over the re-
mains of a c0lOred man named Henry
Clark. an empl0ye Of the Savannah. FlOri-
da and Western Railway. VINO died sud
denly Yesterday forenoon at his home, No.
, TAYLOR street. In this case a similar
verdict to those in the preceding cases
was rendered.

\ dispatch received in this city yester-

Thursday afternoon last at 3 O'Clock at
Cotton, California. Mr.. Spring had been
long suffering from consumption and LETT

hope of benehting his health, which, under
the inrOads Of that terrible disease, had

only transitOry, however. for he soon fell
into a rapid decline, and after being con-
fined TO his bed for several weeks, died as

and obtained employment in the Office of
the savannah Republican, where he
worked for some time. He was afterward

energy and close attention to business.
he became superintendent, which position
he held until his shattered health COM
PEELED him to resign.
Mr.. Spring was a very popular gentle
man, and made many warm friends dur
ing his residence in the Forest City. He
was born at Fox Lake, Wisconsin,
and at the time of his death
was b years of age. He leaves a devoted
wife with three children. He was con-
nected with a number Of secret and be-
neyOlent societies and held high
positions Of honor and trust in
all Of them. He was a member

some ALLEGED irregularities and unlairness
in tbz apDortfoument Of taxes upon the
estates represented BY DR.. Faligant as
executor and administrator. he facts,
a. stated bv the Doctor. are as follows:
In April. 1883. the estate Of Margaret

al alike on East Boundary street. IL
that month there was division
n the estate. and i've q these
houses were allotted % DgmlnicE

me1t. but e was claimed By him that a.
b. held only SIX Of the eleven houses.
about six-eleventbs OF the gross amount
should be charged 10 the estate Of j. II.
O'Byrne.
Yesterday when DR.. F. called 70 pay the
taxes il was found that the amount Of the
assessment had been most singUlarly and
uuiustlv apportioued-in other words. the
estate % Jn0. F. O'Byrne. owning six
eleyeuths q the block. was assessed upon
dve-seveuths Of the gross amount Of
valuatiOn. that j.. 5000 or more Of the
$1,000. Fhen six-tenths Of S7,0v9 was less
than $1,000.
TIE Doctor declared that if 80 gross a

ask room in the columns Of the MORNING

81 IN turn be would put 70 each Of them
the direct question whether ell o.

the matter was brought before Alderman

Committee. who promptly admitted that
the app1rriOument Of the assessment was
at fault. and ought certainly TO be cor
