An Orlando Mans Corpse Found Ten
Days After His Demise.
Orlando, Fla, July 25.-Parties who
went to the residence of E. F. c. Jefries
to-day found the house fastened and a
fearful odor coming from inside through
the cracks. The body of Jeffries was
seen on the floor. Word was brought
into town and Sheriff Anderson and Coro.
ner Martin went o1t and broke down the
door.
Jeffries lived by himself near Livings-
ton station. He was last seen by his
neigh oors about ten days ago. His habits
were bad, which fact accounts for any
lack of notice of his non-appearance by
those living near.
On bench in the house were two bank
books, showing deposits amounting to
about S15, and basket of groceries which
had not been taken from the packages.
There was no evidence of foul play. The
man had evidently gone home, laid down,
and died. The remains were buried in
the city cemetery. Jeffries' brother is
station agent at Livingston.

M'LEAN's LEGACY.
Georgia Still Has Chance of Secur-
ing the Money.

ing the Money.
Atlanta, Ca, July 25.-Capt Bradwell,
the state school commissioner, to-day re-
ceived letter from United States Con-
sui Gibson at Glasgow, Scotland, bear
ing good tidings of the Mclean legacy,
which he has been trying to get hold of
for year past. The legacy was left
years ago to the negroes living on the
Gowrle plantation near Savannah.
After lying In bank at Glasgow for more
than quarter of century it finally came
to Capt. Bradwell's notice. After much
correspondence and delays of various
kinds, including a lawsuit with certain
heirs who contested the legacy, and when
the state was just about to be paid the
money, McRae, the trustee of the fund,
absconded with the money in his pocket.
he was arrested by detectives on board a
ship bound for New York, but only part
of the money, 81, 900, was recovered. He
was given speedy trial and sentenced to
six years servitude. Other victims of
McRae undertook to seize this, but
Consul Gibson's letter received to-
day, informs the school commissioner
that the money will go to satisfy the
claim of the Mclean legacy, and will
soon be paid over by the court. 1t seems
that McRae involved the banks in which
the legacy was deposited in some way,
and the state may recover the full sum
bequeathed by McLean's will for the edu-
cation of the negroes Of the Gowrie plan
tation. As these people cannot now be
found, Commissioner BradwelPs idea is
to establish a scholarship with the fund
at the Colored Normal and Industrial
School at Savannah This will remain
with the legislature, however.
