DIED FROM ANoTHERs WOUNDS.

q Hitherto Unhesrd of Cause for Death
Discovered By a Coroner's Jury.
Many ridiculous verdic.s Of coroners'
1uries are on record, but probably there is
none more SO than that rendered by the
jury which sat in inquest upon II. J. Jones,
killed by j. G.. Pittman In this city last
week. After considering the evidence for
nearly half an hour the jury returned a
verdict, reading:
We, the jury. find that II. J. Jones came to
his de2thby knife wound in the hands Of J.
g, PittmAn.
How one man can possibly die from the
wounds OF another, as the verdict certainly
makes it appear, is conundrum which
probably no one can solve except the men
who rendered it. No doubt the Jury in
tended the verdict to mean that the deceased
came to his death by q knife wound in
ficted by Pittmsn, but under the peculiar
wording it doesn't convey any such idea. It
says simply that Jones died from Pittmau's
wounds. The verdict deserves 70 be framed
and placed on exhibition as a specimen of a
jury's deliberations.

DeLauter, the leader of the robbers. lived
about ten years ago in Valdosta. The
Times says he is we'll remembered there.
He went to Valdosta from Florida and
"044b W ouOOA at Iu6 lHsblJuE0 lot q ShOrI
while. His mother, who had married a
man by the name of Drafin, also lived a
short while in Valdosta. Her husband was
a mechanic and worked somewhere else.
After be quit school Jasper engaged IN
merchandising. He occupied the little
wooden store on the lot where MIR. Line-
berger's two brick stores now stand, He
had a small stock of groceries. but he was
not success, and soon disappeared. When

Jasper was dull boy, but full Of vision
airy ideas. He always had in bis pocket
dime novel of the Jesse james, kind. and
often entertained the boys with wonderful
plans and escapades which he was going to
play the hero in when he grew up and went
west. He was the butt of the town and the
boys called him "cow." because he was not
considered bright He invented perpetual
motion once, and at another time invested
In S3 printing pre- g. and started out to
make fortune. A gentleman now inter
ested In the Times, then boy, after ward
purchased the little press, and began his ex-
perience with printers ink.
Jasper always fell in with the tramps,
slight-of-hand performers and men Of that
kind aud character. A tramp once sug-
gested that if Jasper would buy some alc1-
hol be would learn him fine trick The
boy went and got the alcohol, and the
tramp took it, walking to the water bucket,
diluted it with water and then swallowed it.
While he was running his little grocery
two boys in town walked in the store one
night, seized him, in a playful mood, and
poured syrup all over his head and face, and
then daubed him with flour.

ultimately in driving the wholesale trade In

are being made for a delightful and CON-

pleasant times spent at the summer resorts
will be associated with the expectations of

One of the most enterprising butchers in
the market has made an offer to furnish
tickets on any car line TO bring them to his
stalls and to return home with the most ex-
oellent selections of beef In all the choice
varieties, veal and mutton, and sausage of
every description, game and poultry,
choice northern fish, and to settle the
whole game, bunch of walnut celery, the

make arrangements for the finest supply Of

all lovers of good eating. Not only has he
five of the best meat cutters Ia the state of

for serving the public. Five wagons are
sent out 10 take orders and to deliver goods.
The telephone 3S6 is always ready 10 accom-

A QUESTION OF SALARY.
A Lively Situation in the State A0rl-
cultural Society.

cultural Society
The members Of the State Agricultural
Society have a warm discussion within
their ranks over the question OF the presi'
dents salary. which is exciting c7nsidera-
BILE interest in Savannah.
President John o. Waddell, VINO sue
ceeded Gov. NOrthen In the presl-
dencv Of the society, claims a salary Of
az POO a wear, which Treasurer j. K. Powell
saws he will not pay. Treasurer Powell
considers that the presidents salary Is con-
tingeut upon the services rendered the so
cjetv. Until Gov. Northen was elected
prssident the presidents of the society
! drew no salary. but were allowed SlOO
for expenses during the holding OF the
state fair in Macon. When Gov. Northen
was elected president it was found to be
necessary for the president to do q great
deal OF travelling and preparatory work
during the months preceding the opening
of the fair, which was made necessary by
the rival expositions aud fairs which were
generally being held throughout the state.
Gov. Northen devoted a large portion Of
his time while president to visiting the dit
ferent counties and securing county and
individual exhibits for the fair.
No fair will be held this year, the first
lapse since the fairs at Macon were resumed
oAAOi SAiO "oas 1bO hdS LAOuOib ailQ
prospective law suits on its hands with the
people of Macon because of the failure to
carry out the contract to hold the annual
fair. AS there is no fair the president did
not have to give his time to
work it up. Consequently, Treasurer
Powell and his hackers argue he did not
earn his salary. In fact, they say that
President Waddell used his efforts against
the fair.
President Nortben's salary was only 300
from Feb. until after the fair any way,
and not $1,000 year. which President
Waddell claims
At the seni-annual meeting at Athens
recently it was decided to abandon the fair
and to cut the presidents salary down to
$500 year. The only reason the salary
was allowed, 1t is said, was because the So
ciety anticipated litigation with the city of
Macon, and desired to command the SER
vices OF the president in looking after it
should it arise. Otherwise the salary might
have been done away with aud only the
presidents expenses paid.
The society has S1l 800 in the treasury,
but it doesn't propose to pay it all out in
salaries.
Treasurer Powell is a Macon man, and he
Way take Macon's view Of the abandonment
OF the state fair and be a little more particu-
lar than necessary about limiting the presi-
dents salary.
The president Of the agricultural society,
suing the society for his salary, would not
be very edifying TO the state at large.

WHAT MANUFACTURERS WANT.

Europeans interested in the manu-
tacture of phOsphates have said much to ln-
duce miners OF the Florida rock 10 make
every effort 20 reduce the iron and alumina
In tbs product to a minimum, stating that
they were more anxious to decrease the iron
and alumina than to increase the bone phos-
phate, aud in turn the effort has been
made to comply with the request. and
goods have been shipped that showed
much under 2 per cent. iron and alumina
and over so per cent. bone phosphate, which
failed to receive the recognition that would
induce the continuance of the necessary
efforts to give them the goods they say
they would so much appreciate In conse-
quence, after present contracts are filed, il
Is hardly likely that new ones will be en-
tered into to furnish this want until buyers
show disposition to pay fair value for
the product
INCREASED OCEAN RATES.
Another added burden to the phosphate
miner Is the recent increase in ocean rates
caused by the heavy movement Of the west
ern grain crop to Europe. A broker esti-
mated the increase in freight rates at about
% per ton, which added TO the recent de-
cline In prices of about 81 per ton. makes
net decrease of about Sc per ton in the
prospective profits Of the business a few
months ago, All Of which seems very hard
The manufacturers OF fertilizers. both in
this country and Europe, have been very
ready to take hold Of the high-grade Florida
phosphate rock, recognizing its value in
producing high-grade fertilizer at lower
cost, and the experiments from its manu-
features have generally resulted very salts
factorily.
WANT TO GET 1T AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
The rock itself is desired by the manu-
facturers. They are simply taking advant-
age or present circumstances to get it as
low as possible Large quantities Of the
rock for next years consumption could be
sold immediately if the holders would sell
at present prices.
A broker in this city was offered a oon-
tract for over 10, 900 tons of rock last week
at slight ad vance on present prices for de-
livery in 1892, aud the representative Of one
OF the largest phosphate mining companies
In Florida, who was in the city last week,
bad an offer from an English firm for Is, 900
tons at present prices for next years de-
livery, which he refused, showing that some
OF the buyers think the market has about
reached the bottom.
The result of the present state of affairs
said gentleman largely interested in Flor
IDA phosphate mining yesterday, will be
