MURDER Or SUICIDE.
A Sick and Penniless Dane Found
Stabbed to Death at Angnsta

a Sick and Penniless Dane Found
Stabbed to Death at Augusta.
AUGUSTA, GA, July S,-A singular case
of murder or suicide was discovered this
afternoon. Julius Nelson was a yonng
Dane who had been in this country
but five months, and could speak no
English. He was employed in the Augusta
brewery, and boarded near there in a
cheap boarding house run by Antonio
Meurer. Nelson has been sick for
day or two, and this morning was
found dead in bed about o'clock. He
was lying face down and his position
was not changed until this afternoon whom
the coroner's jury went to inspect the BODY.
Then, so far as it is known, it was for the
first time discovered that the bed was bloody
and that a two-edged dagger was living by
the body and five stabs had beeo
made in the mans stomach. Prior
to that time it was sunnosed
that he died from natural causes aud the
discovery created sensation. The case is
O singular one. There we're two other men
asleep in the room when the death of the
young man was discovered this morning.
and it seems strange that the young fellow
could have stabbed himself to
death in this way without any
outcry sufficient to awake them
It is impossible to ascribe any motive for
the murder however, as be couldn't sneak
a word of English, was stranger and
hadn't dollar in the world. The more
reasonable theory is that, sick and depressed.
without friends OF mouey, he determined to
end his life, but it seems almost impossible
that he could have stabbed himself again
and again through the bowels, when either
of the wounds were sufficient to produc e
dapth

A Private Fire Company.

TOWNSVILLE, GA, July S.-A number
OF citizens on Monroe street, headed by
William Miller, have organized a private
fire company for use in their section of the
city. They have bought 200 feet of first
class hose and encased the same in a box
close by fire hydrant. Each member has
key to the box. The pressure from the
staudpipe is sufficient to force the water to
sufficient distance and hight, as has been
already proved by tests.
Pear shipments are now in full blast,
The crop will be very small.
