Guilty, with a accommodation to the
mercy Of the court" was the verdict in
the BufOrd case at Jacksonville Tuesday
night, after the jury had been out nearly
four hours. This was trial OF the first
OF the three indictments found against r.
y. B. BufOrd, charging him with violat-
ing the United States postal laws by
sending scurrilous, .defamatory and IL
belous postal cards through the mails.
The postal card on which this indictment
was found was mailed in 1891 from Web
ster, and was addressed TO clerk in the
auditors office at Washington. Buford
was tried for a similar offense last jan
uary, but the jury cleared him on the plea
OF insanity. As the physicians at the
Washington Insane Asylum declared him
sane he was sent back to Jacksonville to
stand his trial. The extreme penalty Is
fine, at the discretion of the court,
and five years Imprisonment. AS the YER
dict carried with il a recommendation to
mercy, IT Is thought that the sentence will
not be so heavy.

ing house on West Bay street at Jack
sonVille, was grief-stricken. For several
days she waited for tidings of her hus-
band, but as none came, she at last gave
up all hope, told her boarders TO find ac-
cOmmodatiOns elsewhere, and commenced
TO sell out her household goods, intend
ing 10 return to Brunswick, from which
city she and her husband had come some
months ago. Tuesday morning. Drowned
and Weatherbeaten and sunburned, who
should walk up to the door but Capt.
LEVER. Mrs. LEVER answered his knock.
Her face was a picture of wild astonish-
ment and joy. She screamed, as women
always do when anything pleases them,
and cried out to her daughter: "Oh,
Oracle; here's your papa! Then followed
a scene better imagined than described.

authorities of Columbia county for the
