Hill was in the city this morning re-
turning from a meeting of the board
of directors of the Coast Line held in
New York on Thursday.
At the meeting in New York Thurs
day, several matters of interest were
transacted. It was decided to award
$1,000 to the father of young Murray,
the section master below SaYannah
who was So brutally murdered during
the time of the trackmen's strike sew
eral months ago. Murray, it will be
remembered, would not join strikers
and it is thought he was killed by
them for not assisting them in the
fight against the railroad. The COM
pany has spent much money in an en-
deavor to expose the sfayers Of Muir
ray but so far without avail.
Young Murray had taken his faith
er's place, the old man having been
forced to retire on account of his age
and the $1,000 so generously given by
the company will provide him with
comfortable living in his old days.
