the following facts were averred: Com plainanr owned lot abutting on Lee Street in the city of Montgomery; at the head of said street the defendant rail- road companies had erected . union de- pot. Just south of said union depot, be- tween it and complainant's lot, the de- fendants had built across Lee street a freight depot. An ordinance of the city of Montgomery, referred to in the bill, authorized defendant to erect said build ings at such places, 1t being provided therein that the defendant should main tain private streets around the freight depot, whereby a way of approach to the union station from Lee Street was se- cured. The complainant's lot was 400 feet from the freight depot, and it was averred that said lot was so situated "as to make 1t very valuable for the purpose or a modern hotel and retail stores, and that the house now on said lot is used as a boarding house, for the acommoda- ton of the travelling public and residents Of Montgomery, and that by reason of said freight depot destroying access on Lee Street between the union depot and the property of complainant, travel is diverted from Lee Street to other streets, and as a result thereof, complainant's property is irreparabiy damaged and will never be valuable for the purposes above
 
 jury 'to complainant cannot be estimated in money, nor adequately compensated by pecuniary damages; that such appropria- tion of the street by the railroad was a continuing nuisance. "of special and par ticular damage to complainant beyond the injury the public generally has sustain ed." and will continue to be more fn- furious in the near future. The prayer of the bill was that defendants be enjoined from keeping possession of that part of Lee Street now closed up by said freight depot, and that they be required to move said freight depot from across said street and to abate the nuisance occasion ed thereby. Held: Such bill Is without equity in that 1t fails to show any right on the part of the complainant to main- tain 1t; he having a full remedy at law for such injury as the averments of the bill show he had sustained, and for which he sought redress.
 3. Equity pleading: where sufficiency of plea to a bill may not be determined. Where a bill in chancery is without equity and subject to a demurrer inter posed thereto, it is not necessary to de- termine the suff1ciency of plea in bar filed by the defendant.
 Affirmed.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-"Not poisoned. but dead because she thought she had been poisoned" was the singular verdict pro- nounced by the Coroner's Physician Springer to-day after performing an au- topsy on the body of Virginia Jackson, an aged colored woman and ex-sIave. The autopsy was performed in the belief that the strange circumstances of the woman's death were indicative of mur- der 'fF

 Evidently, say the police, the old col ored woman jumped to the conclusion, feeling i'll after she had tasted of the contents of the bottle. that she had been poisoned and the fear of death killed her.
