Operation for Eugene Grace.

Atlanta, Ca, April 25.-Thougt
it is now more than a week since
Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace was bound
over to the grand jury, and though
the jury held a long session yester'
day for handling criminal business
her case was not taken up.
The delay is attributed to the de-
sire of the prosecution to postpone
matters as long as possible, pending
a change in the accused woman's
husband. Of course the delay was
a keen disappointment to her, as she
has been confined in Jail in default
of bond since the day of her prelim-
mary trial.
From Newman, Grace's home, ii
is learned that his doctors are now
planning to perform an operation
for the removal of the bullet, which
either shattered or lodged against
his spine, causing paralysis of three
fourths of his body.

AFTER 81 YEARS.
Many View Face of Georgian Who
Was Buried in 1858.

A gang of workmen digging a
sewer on North Broad street, Rome
Ca, Tuesday unearthed an iron
form-itting coffin containing the
body of the late DR.. j. T. Owen
which had been buried for more
than so years. The coffin bore the
inscription, "Dr. J. T. Owen, Age 81
Died Oct. End, 1853"
The body was in a remarkable
state of preservation. The features
were those of a young man with
long, flowing hair. Through the
clouded glass of the coffin could Oe
seen white collar, open in front
with long, black bow tie, character
istic of the fifties.
The spot where the casket was ex-
humed was formerly cemetery. 1t
was purchased and later became
Printup City. 1t was thought that all
bodies were removed to another por-
ton of the city. The casket was in
tered by the city after being viewed
by thousands of curiosity seekers.
Older citizens remember DR.. Owen
and declare he looked as natural as
the day of his death.

COMPANIES HIT HARD.
Losses on Account Of Titanic DiSas.
ter Were in the Millions.

Nowhere in the annals of insur-
ance is there a parallel for the loss
of insured life and property occasion
ed by the sinking of the ocean liner
Titanic, says the Insurance Field.
Continuing, it states there may
have been greater losses of life and
property, but never under conditions
covering so many classes of insur-
ance-life, accident and marine.
From advices to the Insurance
Field received direct from compa-
nies by telegram, mail and telephone
and from correspondence throughout
the country, the estimated losses are
as follows:
Life insurance, S2,193,000; acci-
dent insurance, s2,213,O00; marine
insurance, 100000.
So far as reported to the Insur-
ance Field, the losses sustained by
the life insurance companies Of the
United States are s2,213,000.
