RETURNED 4 SEALED VERDICT.
Jury in Strobhar Case Agreed After
Four Days DefiberatiOn.

The case of Mrs Anne Z. Strobhar
aginst the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, for four days on trial in the
Superior Court, reached its conclusion yes
terday afternoon, when Judge Fauigant
charged the jury Several hours after
wards the jury, in accordance with an
agreement previously entered into between
counsel and the court, returned a sealed
verdict
What this verdict is can only be con-
jectured until it is opened in court this
morning, 1t was thought by those attor-
neys who were present when the charge
of the court was delivered that it was
more in favor of the principles of law es-
poused by counsel for the defendant com
pany than those submitted to the court
by the counsel for the plaintiff, and that
1t seemed that Judge FaAigant had been
more impressed by the former than by the
latter. What effect the charge of the
court has had upon the jury and what the
verdict viii be, is another matter that
only an actual inspection of the sealed
paper that the jury has returned can de-
termine.
Mr. Chisholm resumed his argument
when court convened yesterday morning.
His argument upon the law and the facts
of the case was that Strobhar had been
himself so grossly negligent in the man
ner in which he had attempted 10 cross
the tracks of the company and ha- so
violated every principle of prudence that
any accident thai had accrued must have
been contributed to by his own careless
ness, and that therefore the railroad com
pany could not be held liable.
Mr. Hitch concluded for the plaintiff
He contended that the conduct of Engi-
neer Griffin toward the defendant had ex-
hibited negligence, and even wantouness,
Of the grossest character, and that It was
entirely due to this wantonness that the
homicide had resulted. With the charge
of the court. the jury retired to consider
this and the other view of the case.

WAS HIS OWN HOUSE.
Senior Foreman MOurO Had nm I'm
expected Fire Call.

There was quite lively fire for time
in the residence of Senior Foreman George
Mouro al 422 Liberty street east, yester-
day afternoon. The fire was discovered
by Mrs. Mouro, who saw the smoke com
ing from the second floor. She screamed
for help but the neighbors and passersby
on the streets did not seem to take in the
situation aud gazed stupidity while Mrs.
Mouro continued calls for assistance Ell
forts were made to telephone the firemen,
but the telephone did not seem to be in
working order, and it was some time be
fore an alarm was turned in from box p.
Mrs. Mouro undertook to extinguish The
hre herself with buckets and basins of wat
err and was painfully burned about the
forehead in doing so. When the firemen
arrived there was a dense smoke and con-
siderable flame. The hand eXtinguishers
proved insufficient for the work and the
chemical stream was turned on.
The fire apparently originated in a
feather bed, which was on a small bed
near the fireplace in The room. As there
had been no fire in the fireplace, the oc-
cupants of the house and the firemen We're
al loss to account for the blaze. Later
in making an examination Mr.. MourO per-
ceived smoke coming through creVice
in the back of the fireplace and invesi-
cation showed that there was a hot fire
burning on the same floor in the opposite
house. The house Is one of a row of two
story brick tenements and the chimney
serves both houses. Some OF the plaster
ing had fallen out giving vent to the
heat and smoke from the other side. II
is supposed that there was a lot of trash
in the fireplace which caught fire in this
manner the blaze extending TO the feather
bed nearby.
Mr. Mouro, who responded to the call
with the firemen from headquarters, was
somewhat surprised 10 find that it was his
own house that needed Mis- services. 1t
was his first fire in thirty years. The
bedding and clothing in the. room were in
jured by fire and smoke, but Mr.. Mouro's
loss is not large. The ceiling and walls
are considerably damaged, amounting TO
perhaps $50 The property is owned by
Mr.. John w. Smith

DON'T WANT NEGRO POSTMASTER
AIonzo Bryant Has His Commission
for ThunderboIt.


Thunderbolt is threatened with a negro
postmaster. Alonzo W. Bryant, colored,
is carrying around a commission from
Postmaster General Smith in his pocket,
and the only reason he has not taken pos
session of the Office is that he had not
been able to get bondsmon for the $500
bond which is required for the Thunder
bolt office
The late J. A. Hall, the postmaster at
Thuuderbolt, died some time ago, and the
duties of the Office have been discharged
since that time by Mrs. NJ E. Young,
daughter of the deceased, acting by ap-
ponlment of her fathers bondsmen As
Mrs. Young is a widow with children.
with no other means of support, the resi-
dents of ThunderDolt were in hopes that
she would be allowed 10 retain the office
This will not be the case, however, If
Bryant succeeds in making his bond.
Bryant was in TO see Capt. NJ. j. Doyle
yesterday aboutN making the bond. He
spoke 10 Capt Doyle about it some time
ago, and the Captain told him that if he
could get Mr.. Ambos at Thunderbolt to
sign he would sign with him. He did not
understand at the time. however that
Bryant had received his commission. BrY-
ant exhibited the commission yesterday,
bearing the date of Jan. 10. He stated

Capt. Doyle stated that he knew nothing
about the matter until Bryant told him
ne had received the appointment
Mr.. Ambos, it seems declined TO go on
Bryanrs bond, and 50 Capt Doyle has also
declined to affiX his signature. Ii is not
unlikely that a protest against the ap-
pointment will be made by the people Of
