MYSTERY ABOUT
 JEBELES' DEATH
MAY BE SOME SENSATIONAL DE. vELoPMENTS AS A RESULT OF coRoNER'S INVESTIGATION. GREEKS ATTEND FUNERAL,

The body of John Jebeles. the Greek who is supposed to have committed sui eide in Anniston Tuesday night, and who was well-known in Birmingham, will be inferred in Anniston. Several members of the local Cheek colony including Tom and John Jebeles. cousins of the dead man, the Costellos brothers, Aleck Kon- tos and P. Gooaros went to Annston yesterday to attend the funeral of their compatriot.
 The members of the Greek colony in this city are not at all satisfied that Jebeles killed himself and the matter will be thoroughly investigated before the funeral of Jebeles takes place.
 Foul play Is suspected by local Greeks and the dead man will not be buried until an investigation is made for the reason that suicide cannot be buried by a minister of the Greek orthodox church.
 Jebeles had been absent from Birming- ham less than month and was in An niston working for his brother. who conducts large restaurant there. Ths deceased came to this city about eighteen years ago.

A rumber of witnesses were examined to- day. There is some conflicting evidence and circumstances and the matter will be thoroughly ferretted out. What will be the verdict of the jury cannot at present be surmised. but something of the sen sational order may be the outcome of the taking of evidence. The Mcbride wom- an whom Jebees shot. is doing as well as could be expected today and hopes are entertained for her recovery

special Correspondence from Summer

Special Correspondence from Summer
 Piazzas.
 The country inns are literally teeming with children. Throughout the noun tains there are hundreds of little folk who are going on jolly expeditions into the mountains and enjoying with the freedom of childhood the thousand and one pleasures that are theirs through these heeting summer days. Troops of lovely, children are seen every day at all the mountain places in the Sapphire country and the whole world of nature invites them to delightful rambles.
 They spend entire days under the trees, have their luncheon parties. play games, and as long as the sun shines they amuse themselves But with these dog days when the clouds empty themselves al most daily the outdoor paradise loses Its attractions and scores of little folk are tied up in the hotels. The rain is most tantallzlng at a season when every one wants to be out of doors.
 On rainy days the little folk are all lowed in the big ball rooms or in the music rooms, where they entertain them selves in many ways most of which are instruments of torture to the older peo- pie They fill the halls and corridors of the summer hotels, swarm about the big balconies, overflow the ball room, play horse, build houses out of chairs and invent games that make the greatest noise. They have everything their own way This is on wet days when the ter races are soaked
 But let stream of sunshine come and the children fiutter out, hundreds of them, and the nurses and maids are powerless to keep up with such an array of youngsters.
 The various methods of fleeeing sum mer visitors are not confined to the ho- tels During the season the liverymen who furnish teams for mountain drives charge exorbitant prices and run their poor horses to death besides. The noun tain roads are heavy pulling and wear out the strongest of horses. Far up be- yond Toxaway the price for day drive is about s10, but in other sections the prices are more reasonable. f1Ve dollars Is not considered high for good team and comfortable carriage, while the stages, seating six are about. the same price. Among recent arrivals in the noun tains are Mir Bert Throckmorton of Bir- mingham who is in the Sapphire coun- try. He accompanied his mother Mrs. Allan w Haskell to Lookout Inn where she is spending August MT. ThrocK- morton will return to Princeton in the autumn.
 Mir. William Mudd, MT. Monroe Lanler and MT. Shelby Cullom of Birmingham are in the Sapphire country.
 MT William Mudd Martin was at Ioxa- way for some time earlier in the season.
 Dr. J. b s. Davis is staying at the Wheeler in Hendersonville for two ot three weeks. He has abandoned going abroad this summer

UNDER SEVERE STRAIN.
Koch Jurors Slow to Recover From
Their Long Siege.

Their Long Siege.
From Thursdays Daily.
| Some of the members of the Koch
| jury have not yet recovered from the
effects of the long strain to which they
were subjected. Some of them are af
f1icted with nervousness. While the
care received by the jury was splendid
and the food of the best quality, still
the confinement and the close attention
needed during the trial told upon them
Many of them lost in weight and got
various disorders, but not serious enough
to prevent their being able to attend
the sessions of the court.
The jury retired just before dinner
Saturday, and took the first ballot after
coming together in their room after
dinner. The ballot stood five for con-
viction and seven for acquittal. Each
point in the, case was carefully discuss
ed, and a ballot was taken each two
hours. Twelve ballots in all were tax
en-, but all were alike. The discussion
lasted until late Saturday night but
not SO late Sunday night. The members
of the jury kept their tempers unruffled.
and no luminosity was shown because
all could not look at the evidence alike,
yet there was tense strain on the ner-
vous systems of the members.
