Negro in Disreputable ; Shanty Over Railroad. MRl JOHN WILLIAMS REILLY. CONEY IS NOMINATED HIS MONEY IS MISSING. The Japanese are still crowing because one of their shells cut the leg of a Russian roosteroff. We are assured that the adminis tration is going to get after the Beef Trust. For a big campaign subscription, we guess. Every now and then some fellow prates about wanting more liberty. It is license and not liberty that a great many people want. The Jacksonville Times-Union says: "Let ns deal honestly with ourselves." Well, then, we'll have to first learn to trust ourselves. There's many a man to day who is making way with his own money. An exchange asks, "How in the world can Judge Parker keep so silent?" During a life time on the bench he has learned to respect the prerogative of the sheriff whose voice is always ringing out, "silence incourtl" Negro's Body Foasd. '.. Tne b3dy of Major Dickson, the old half-witted negro who. was drowned Friday night in the river off the lower Atlantic Coast Line yards, was found floating la the river near Walnut street dock early yesterday morning.

Coroner's Isqaest Ordered aid Several Persoss Held for the lavestifatioff. - , An autopsy en the Body- Evl , deuces of Pool Play.' Dr. O. D. Bell, the coroner, has em panelled a jury of Inquest to investi gate the mysterious death of a colored man, Charles Fisher,, aged about 50 years and resident of Pender county, whose body was found early yesterday morning in. a two-room hut occupied by Janie Williams, colored, and other negro-women b-squesUbnable charac ter, on west side of MoRee's alley, be tween Eighth and Ninth and Nixon and Taylor streets. ; Dr. j Bell is satis fied there are evidences jof .foul play and that the object of the murder was robbery of the man's person. The Williams woman, Rosa Brown, color ed, Albert Nelson and his step-daughter, Bertha Nelson, both white, are locked up at the police station with a number of other witnesses, pending a further investigation by the jury of inquest to day. ' jj Fisher formerly lived at or near Castle Haynes, In thu county, but re cently removed to Pender and was engaged in rafting logs to the lumber mills at Wilmineton. I Monday he brought a raft to the city, sold it to the Hilton Lumber Co. for something over (15, pocketed the proceeds and either started out to have a "good time" or to return to his home, j Next heard of him, he was dead at the house of the Williams woman. Several telephone messages to the police station early yes terday morning told of an old colored man having died suddenly at the house named and Dr. O. j D. Bell, the coroner, was requested! to investi gate. His clothes hung up on the wall, the negro was found lying in a pool of his own blood on the floor of the hut. The house was in great disorder and one or two mattresses had been evi dently cut open and scattered about the place. Money that the man was known to have received from the lum ber company was mis3ing. As evi dences of foul play began to develop, an axe with blood all over the blade and club wss found under the house, and along the palings, surrounding the house, were drops of blood and a red thumb mark. ' Chief of Police Fnrloog j was noti fied, and upon his orders the Williams and Brown colored women, Albert Nelson and Bertha Nelson, white, who were known to have been at the house frequently, were arrested and locked mm mi TTTS1 up at tne ponce station, me wu liams woman said the old man died of a hemorrhage during the night, but she and the others were so reti cent about the affair that it was deem ed best to hold them for developments. Robert Thomas, colored, father of the boys who were recently sent to the nenitenUarv for the murder of Dan Shines, over! the railroad; Isabella Wagner, colored, and other witnesses were also locked up. They all are strangely at variance with one an other la their stories of the affair. Dr. Bell at once empanelled a jury composed or Mr. R. H. Grant (fore man), Capt. W. H. Northrop (secre tary), Messrs. Geo. Duke, K F. Lewis, W. A. Alderman and 0. O. Rice, and early in the afternoon they went over to view the body and the scene. Chief of Police Furlong, Officer L F. Hug gins, Constable W. B. Savage and others accompanied the party. Chief Furlong found 17 of the missing money in the remains of one of the old mattresses on the floor.- The body was later sent to the hospital for an autopsy by Dr. McMillan, assisted by Drs. Wood, Akerman and Bell. The performance of the same, disclosed the fact that the negro died of aneurism of the heart, probably Induced by a blow, though the body was remark able free from outward signs of vio lence. The jury, after reviewing the body and premises, took a recess until this morning at 10 o'clock when it will meet at the City Hall for the pur pose of hearing testimony and the re port of the surgeons as to the autopsy.
