Rapid Rise of the Town Of Fitzgerald
I'm Georgia.

Savannah Correspondence New York Post
One OF the most remarkable colonies is
that at Fitzgerald, IN Wilcox county. Georgia.
IL Is notable for the number and character
OF its members, the rapidity with which the
town proper has grown. and the effect that
IL has had in stimulating immigration to the
Southern States. Last September a single
cabin in the middle OF pine forest was the
only building on the site. The population at
present is fully 1000, and new residents are
arriving by scores daily.
The colonisls have come from Maine and
Dakota from New York and Michigan, from
Minnesota and Connecticut. Nearly every
portion OF the United States is represented,
although the bulk OF the people are from the
States north OF the Ohio river and bordering
on the upper Mississippi. Possibly thou

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, May 19.-Until the
Identification of Mrs. May d. Hill. the New
York suicide, became too positive to admit
of any mistake. her friends and relatives
in this city refused to believe any such
thing possible. Both Mrs. Hill and her hus-
band were well known here. having been
reared in this city. Mrs. Hill was born
here thirty-four years ago. her mother dy-
ing shortly after her birth. She was edu-
Gated at Vassar. but for some reason never
graduated from that institution. April q,
1881. she was married to Edgar Z. Hill at
the home Of her grandfather. Isham Ket-
tie. in this city, by John B. Cobb. Chris
tan minister. The report that the couple
eloped is unfounded. but the marriage was
over the protest Of her father and the
groom's parents. Mrs.. HIS father, Col.
John A. Keith. was a soldier in the late
war. and made a most excellent record.
After the war he became wealthy and was
a brilliant but eccentric man. After his
daughter's marriage he began drinking

mind, but even now thinks and talks Of
nothing but the war
Mrs. Hill and her husband were excellent
musicians. BY reason of their appearance
and their stage name, Zerega, they were
usually supposed to be of Spanish nation
ality.
On April IA. 1896. Mrs. Hills New York
lawyers, Kentrowitz & Esberg, opened cor

ney or this city, to- obtain description
of her real estate here and the 6bnditions
of her grandfather's will devising the same
to her. This Information was sent on
April %, and since then nothing has been
heard from her. IT is thought by reason
of her action regarding the real estate that
she was contemplating suicide even then.
