Testfmoay before the Coroner's
Jury and Verdict Rendered.

Jnry and Verdict Rendered.
NORFOLK. VA. March S-tspecial)-
The coroner's inquest to inquire into the
cause OF Mrs. zipporah Butland's death
was In session to-day. The underclothing
worn by Mrs. Butland at the time OF
her death was shown. The clothes were
covered with stains, and there were blood
stains upon them Drs. Vance and New
ton. who were present at the autopsy,
testified.
A THEORY.
DIR. Meredith advanced a theory that
Mrs. Butland may possibly have died
from stranguiation. IL seems that Mrs.
Tucker. daughter or DIR. Jackson, came to
Mrs. Butland's assistance as soon as
she heard che was falling. Mrs. Tucker
admits that she held a bottle OF m
mcnia to Mrs. ButIand's nose. and, In
her agitation the lady may have spilled
some of the fluid In Mrs. Butland's
mcuth. -Hartshorn was In Mrs. Butland's
mouth m quantity sufficient to have
caused strangulation. DR.. Jackson was
not present at the inquest. Coroner
Charters, at the conclusion OF the evil
dence. stated that he had found the body
OF Mrs. Butland in perfect health. and
without blemish. 1t was his opinion
that she came to her death from the
shock consequent upon attempted NAL
practice.
THE VERDICT.
The jury returned the following ver-
diet: I'VE. the jury. find that Mrs. Zip
porah Butland anne to her death on
Monday. March 4. 1895, at DR.. s. X. Jack
sons office. 113 Brambleton avenue, and
that her death resulted from the shock
Of an attempt at criminal malpractice
and there being performed by the
sald DR.. S. X. Jackson"

Mir Benedict's Elegant House.

Greenwich, Aug. 26.-What will prob ably be the most expensive residence in Connecticut is being erected for Banker B. c. Benedict on the former site of the Indian Harbor hotel. Work is be- ing pushed rapidly along, and it is ex- pected to have the main house enclosed before winter sets in.
 The main building will be about 300 feet long and three stories high, model ed after the famous Monte Carlo resort, the material for the outside walls being terra cotta. The interior arrangements and furnishings will be on scale of grandeur and elegance that will surpass even the costliest of Connecticut houses, and it will be palatial in appointments. On the second floor will be 10 sleeping rooms, private baths, etc. The third floor will also contain sleeping apart ments. The parlors, reception-rooms, billiard-rooms, etc., will be located on the first floor.
 The grounds are also being laid out in most attractive manner under the direction of an engineer who has had an extended experience in government work. The plans will not be completed by another season, but it is expected that the main house will be finished and occupied by Mir Benedict and his family next summer Connecticut Record.

But it took three Hours and Lots of
 Talk.
 The Norfolk 2d nine and the Canaans played base ball here last Thursday and the game abounded with errors, good plays, and all kinds of baseball. Both teams were showing the spectators how to play it we'll and otherwise. There was lots of coaching and it is reported that contain sporting man has signed Walter Warner to coach his ball team in the summer and to sell tickets for his fair ground shows in the fall. There were several ten dollar bets in the air but upon careful figuring of the book makers it was found that about S1. 50 changed hands on the result. Norfolk had the lead until the ninth, when Ga nsan won the game the score resulting 21 to 19 in favor of The Canaan boys. Battery for Norfolk was Landon and Bailey; Canaan, Brainard and Garfield.

Darkest Time In the Revolution.

The close of the year 17s0 was, in the southern. states, the darkest time of our Revolutionary struggle. Cornwallis had just destroyed the army of Gates at Cam den and his two formidable heutenants, Tarleton, the light horseman, and Fergu- son, the skilled rifieman, had destroyed. or scattered all the smaller bands who had been fighting for the patriot cause. The red dragons rode hither and thither, and all through Georgia and South Carolina none dared lift up their heads to oppose them, while North Carolina lay at the feet of Cornwallis as he started through 1t with his army to march into Virginia. There was no organized force against him, and the cause of the patriots seemed hopeless.
