National.
Atlanta, Jan. 33.—Dr. S. W. Arrowood,
the West Bide physician arrested last
week, accused of annoying school girls,
and who was threatened with a term in
the chain-gang by Re -order Calhoun upon
trial last Saturday, was found insane in
the Court of Ordinary to-day and order'd
sent to rile asylum.
In going to the asylum the doctor escapes
Hie chain-gang, it is contended that he Is
a "paranoeic,” like Flanagan, the DeKalb
county murderer, who also wanted to
marry a 32-year-old girl.
Before being taken to the tower, where
he is to be confined until sent to Milledge
ville Dr. Arrowood asked, as a small
favor, that he he given a few minutes’ in
terview with little Ethel Klttrell, the girl
In the case, and her mother, lie said he
wanted to arrange for Ethel to wait for
him, so that he might marry her in a few
years. The mother of the girl did not ob
ject, so the interview look place in the
ordinary's record room in presence of a
couple of policemen, a brother of the pris
oner. hie lawyer.
Asked Her Several Qucationa.
It was a strange scene, and a sad one,
whether the man was crazy or sane. Tire
doctor did not say a word to the child
about love or marriage. He merely asked
a few simple questions as to her progress
In school and inquired for her little sister.
After a few minute Attorney Hughes de
rided Arrowood had been allowed time
enough, and asked that he should be taken
away. There was no resistance on the
part of the doctor, and he said good-by
to the child, giving h r a hurried 6hake of
Ihe hand, and left the room.
There was a large crowd present at the
trial in the ordinary’s court this morning.
About thirty witnesses were examined, and
almost ail of them believed the doctor in
sane. David Lee, the father of one of the
school children <o whom Arrowood had ad
dressed himseff, made a vigorous fight
against the lunacy petition. He took the
position that Arrowood was a bad man
who ought to be punished.
Two Captains Resign.
Dispatches received here to-day say that
Capt. Amos Baker of Atlanta, and Capt.
A. J. Burr of Griffin, officers of the Third
Georgia Regiment, in Nuevitas, Cuba, have
resigned.
The resignation of Col. Robert L. Ber
ner is also rumored, but Ihe retiort has nof
been verified. The rumor is believed gen
erally among his friends.
The resignations of Capts. Baker and
Burr are no en route to Washington, as
they were sent from Nuevitas several days
ago. There are other rumored resignations,
and Oov. Candler is already being be
seiged by friends of those who wish pro
motions.
The Department Approved.
As forecasted in these dispatches last
week, the committee appointed by the leg
islature to investigate the geological de
partment has formally indorsed botji the
det-artment and the administration of Ge
ologist Yeates. the present head of the
department. This' action was taken this
afternoon. To-morrow the final report will
be made out by the sub-cornm:ttec con
sisting of Representatives Adams and Ta
tum and Senator Winfield. Messrs. Hornby
and Perkins left for home after the meet
ing this afternoon, at which the matter
was put to a vote. It is understood that
the committee was unanimous both as to
sustaining the department and in indorsing
the work of Prof. Yeates. The report will
go to Gov. Candler as soon as completed.
A Rill for Injunction.
A bill for injunction and receiver against
♦he Atlanta National Building and Loan
Association was filed this afternoon In the
United States Court by attorneys repre
senting a number of stockholders who re
side in North Carolina. South Carolina. Al
abama and Mississippi. The bill charges
that the association is Insolvent and al
leges mismanagement.
Some of the grounds upon which the pe
tition is based are the same as those con
stituting the allegations in the petition
filed in the Superior Court a few days ago
by Malcolm Johnston, but others are set
out in the bill. Johnston, however, is not
a party to the bill filed In (he Untied
States Court. Judge Newman was not
asked by complainants’ counsel to grant
an injunction or appoint a receiver be
fore the hearing, which is lo take place
on Feb. 27. 1899.
For the Stnte Fair.
At a meeting of the local committees
appointed to consider the holding of a
state fair In this city next fa#, this af
ternoon, a resolution was passed pledging
nil the money necessary for the enter
prise.
To-morrow President Pope Brown of the
State Agricultural Society will he here
to confer with the local committees about
the fair. He is In favor of holding it. II is
understood, provided Atlanta will supply
the means. The action of the committees
to-day on this subject therefore practi
cally guarantees that the fair will be held.
Considerable enthusiasm was manifested
at to-day's meeting indicating that Atlanta
will lake hold of the fair in a way to
make it a success.
The Lyceum Theater How.
The lease on the Lyceum Theater which
has been open recently with a stock com
pany, was to-day surrendered by William
Sharp to Attorney 1,. J. Langley, repre
senting parties who have been putting up
the money to run the house.
Sharp’s management was not satisfac
tory and anew deal is to be made ail
uround. Sharp recently had a hlg row
with bailiffs, who levied on the box of
fice receipts, because he refused to pay
Ulrs. Lawman, one of the actresses.
Sharp had Ihe bailiffs arrested for rob
bery, and they in turn had him and his
treasurer arrested for interferring with
them in the discharge of their legal duties
When Sharp was forced out to-day all
these eases were settled by the withdrawal
of the warrants, and things are now ex
pected to run as smoothly as a marriage
bell.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
A Camdeu County Woman Meets
With a Serious Accident.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. 31.—The startling in
formation comes to hand that Mrs. Frank
Oooner came near being suddenly ushered
into eternity one day recently in a very
peculiar and unexpected manner. She
walked out to where her husband was
cutting down a tree, bearing her boy in her
arms, Unconscious of any danger, she
sat down upon the end of a log near by.
A Sudden gust of wind brought down tne
tree uiion which the man was cutting
sooner than was expected, and in falling
it struck the top of the log upon which
the woman was sitting.
Her husband, seeing her peril, ran to
her and had just succeeded in getting the
child out of danger when he was shocked
to see bis wife thrown down and buried
almost beneath the log. The wonder is
she escaped with her life, for her head
and face were buried in the dirt, and .t
took the husband some time to remove the
log. He was compelled to raise the tree
and hold it up while he took his wounded
wife from beneath it.
Mrs. Cooner's wounds were very painful.
Her face and shoulder were badly bruised,
one thigh dislocated at the hip and brok
en below, and and her right foot was
badly wrenched.
ANOTHER GRETNA GREEN.
New School for Danher—Local Affairs
In Valdosta.
Valdosta. Ga., Jan. 31.—Mr. Frank Hern
don and Miss Willie Roberts of Echols
county, were married Sunday evening near
Statenvilie, Judge J. C. Thompson perform
ing the ceremony. The groom is an en
gineer on the Atlantic, Valdosta and West
ern Road.
The young lady’s parents are said to
have objected to the match and tried to
prevent the marriage, but it was to no
avail. The young man hired a buggy and
drove up in front of the parental home
stead. Quicker than it takes to tpll it the
couple drove lo the squire’s house-and the
nuptial knot was tied. Both of the young
people are popular and well known in this
section.
The people in the neighborhood of Dash
er, In this county, are building anew school
to accommodate the increased demand for
room. The schools of the county are said
lo be fuller than at any previous time, the
enrollment being much higher than for
merly. This is regarded as an indication
of a more prosperous feeling among the
farmers.
Mr. A. F. Langford of this city, has been
put in charge of the grading and surfac
ing of the Atlantic, Valdosta and Western
road from Crawford to Jacksonville. He
has a large force of men under him and
the work is being pushed rapidly.
The question of more lighis for Valdosta
has agitated the people here a good deal
of late. The city has ou[grown the old
lights and more of them have been put in
at different places over town. The ques
tion of more lighis, a sewerage system
and a stock law will be important ones
for the next board to settle.

Kostina Near Colquitt.
Colquitt, Ga., Jan. 31.—A special term of
the Superior Court has been called by
Judge Sheffield to investigate the killing
of the old man Rastin and his son several
days ago.
The court will convene to-morrow, when
the matter will be presented to the grand
'jury, and the whole case thoroughly sift
ed. It may take some days to get at all
the facts, and put the cases In shape for
trial.
The sheriff now has nine men in jail, and
is looking for others who are charged with
complicity in the crime. It, is the hope
of all the citizens of the county that the
guilty parties will be promptly and prop
erly dealt with. From all indications there
is going to be no delay in the matter.

young society man and formerly employed
in the offices of the Georgia Southern and
Florida Railroad, has filed suit for $20,000
damages against the Guaranty Company
of North America.
The allegations are that the Guaranty
Company’s agent told the railroad auihor
ities that Mock was a thief and a dishon
est man, being short SBOO in his accounts
vis agent at Knoxville. This, it is alleged,
caused Mock's discharge from the Georgia
Southern, and has kept him from securing
other employment, and has injured his
reputation and standing in the community.
A Place With Three Names.
Waycross. Ga.. Jan. 31.—There is a place
in Charleton county that has three dis
tinct names. In the days when the In
dians and the early (settlers were disput
ing the claims of each other to this terrl
ory it was called Spanish Creek, being
then more of a settlement than a town.
When tlie Savannah. Florida and Western
Railroad was built to Jacksonville the
lace was called Uptonvllle in honor of
dd man John Upton, and it went down on
he postal map as Wainright, the name of
a prominent citizen there.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1. 1899.
CLUBBED INTO SUBMISSION.
DRISKES RECRO SOLDIERS SEEK
THOtBLE IR ATLANTA.
The Police Were Ready for Them
miri There Were Half a Daren
lllooriy Henri* In a Few Moment*.
The Itiniclearier Placed liiler ,%r
-rent-They Were Third North Caro
lina Volunteers Juat Mustered Out
In Macon.
Atlarta, Ga., Jan. 31.—The police had se
rious trouble with a train load of drunken
negro soldiers at the union depot late to
night.
A telegram had been received by the
police authorities from Macon, stating that
four or five hundred soldiers who had
been mustered out had started for Atlanta
on a special train en route to North Caro
lina, and that more than half the regiment
were drunk and boisterous.
As soon as this news reached the jiolice
Capt. Jennings, with five men, went to
the union depot. One drunken negro, who
appeared to be a ringleader, jumped from
the train when, it stopped, and as soon as
he saw a policeman he began to curse and
talk about killing somebody. Before the
fellow could walk out of the depot he was
in the hands of a policeman. He resisted,
and clubs and pistols were freely display
ed. Four or five other soldiers rushed to
the assistance of their comrade, and
there were as many bloody heads in a
very few seconds.
The ringleader was arrested and taken
to the pofice barracks. This produced a
quietus on the turbulent crowd.
The Third North Carolina Volunteers,
composed of negroes, was mustered out at
Macon, and the men were paid all the
way from |25 to 175, and were furnished
with a special train home. Before leav
ing Macon most of the negro sol
diers began to drink, and by the time the
train pulled out more than half of them
were drunk. They began to take charge
of the train, which was composed of four
teen coaches, and they soon had things
their own way.
The soldiers quarreled and fought In the
coaches and several of them fired their pis
tols. Three or four of the coaches were
riddled with bullets.
There was a caboose on the rear of the
train, which had been coupled on as a place
of safe retreat for the train crew.
BROTHER TOOK HIS WIFE.
Soldier Return* to Find Hl* Home
Hu Been Destroyed.
Americus, Ga., Jan. 31.—A rather re
markable story reached this city to-day
from De Soto, a village in this county, ten
mites Irom Americuß.
Several months ago a man and woman of
good appearance arrived at De Soto and
secured board at a farm house, making
friends of all about them.
Two days ago a soldier of a Georgia reg
iment rectnly mustered out of service, came
to De Soto and caused consternation by
stating that the man and woman stopping
there were not husband and wife, as sup
posed, but were his own wife and brother,
who eloped together from Upson county
and had since been living together.
The three held a long conference, with
the result that the supposed married vis
itor was arrested and sent back to Upson
county, where, it is said, he has a family,
ih® soldier, who says his name is Kent,
didnot seen disposed to wreak vengeance
upon his brother for having, as he charged,
destroyed his home by taking his wife
away, but only wanted him to return to his
own discarded family In Upson. Kent de
clared that he would have nothing
more to do with the woman who thus left
him for his brother.
The Mrs. Kent now at De Soto Is young
and quite pretty, and seems little disturb
ed at the unexpected discovery of herself
and brother-in-law by the alleged Injured
husband. It is said that she claims to be
a niece of Gen. Gordon, though her state
ment is scarcely credited.
The episode created a great sensation in
the little town of De Soto, and if the
statements are true, as told by the people
there, the gay couple may be brought be
fore the courts in this county.
PLANT LINE TO HAVANA.
The Olivette nnd Yarmouth to Make
Regular Run*.
Tampa Bay Hdtel, Jan. 31.—Sun
day afternoon the beautiful new
Olivette of the Plant Steamship
Line and the Yarmouth, a British vessel
chartered by Mr. H. B. Plant, arrived at
Port Tampa for the run on the Havana-
Tampa line.
President Plant and a party of friends
went in private car No. 100 to welcome the
new arrivals. The Olivette has been re
built entirely with the exception of her
parts of iron and steel. The Olivette Is
painted yellow. The interior decorations of
while and gold replace the former som
bre dark appearance. Beautiful dark green
leather furniture, couches and all make
one of the noticeable pretty features. In
viting and comfortable bcrihs are one
of the chief attractions. The ship is a
gem throughout.
The Olivette sails for Havana Mondays
and Thursdays at 9 o'clock p. m. Capt.
Stevenson. First Officer Miller, Purser
Dennison and Engineer Bean are still with
the ship.
The Yarmouth wifi not stop at Key West,
but will be a direct boat to Havana, leav

by noon the following day. All the officers
are Canadians. Her captain is E. O.
Smith; first officer, Alvin Simms; second
officer, H. Cook; chief engineer, John Cum
mins; steward, N. C. Hopkins.
All of the Plant steamships which stood
in the channel were gaily decorated with
flags and bunting and presented a very im
posing array. President Plant and his
physician. Dr. Durant, and Maj. M. J.
O'Brien, superintendent of the Southern
Express Company, took this trip on the
Olivette to the Island City.
ENGINEERS FOR CHARLESTON.
North Carolina Negro Regiment
.Mustered Out In Macon.
iMacon, Jan. 31.—The Third Engineers
are under orders to go to Charleston to
morrow at 2 o'clock, being all packed and
ready, but they are looking for the usual
countermanding orders before leaving.
The Third North Carolina negroes were
mustered out to-day. As they passed
through town on their train, they fired
their pistols recklessly and terrorised the
people along iheir route. Many cltifcens
congratulate themselves that the negroes
were not allowed to come into town after
being mustered out. but a few merchants
are talking about boycotting the newspa
pers because the people's fears were pub
lished. The merchants wanted the trade.

HAMILTON JAY’S SUICIDE.
The Fear of Insanity Drove Him to
Take Poison.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 31.—C01. Hamil
ton Jay, the well known editor and writer
committed suicide yesterday morning by
taking cyanide of potassium. He was
found dead in his bed at Bettelini's Hotel.
It Is presumed from the evidence discov
ered that fear of insanity led to his tak
ing his own life.
On a table near the head of the bed lay
a letter addressed to Capt. Charies Ellis
an intimate and close friend of the
deceased. This was marked personal. It
pertained only to family affairs of the de
ceased, and stated what disposition to
make of his body and effects. He wanted
to be buried simply and plainly, with no
flowers. It was written in February a
year ago. In it he declared himself a
Christian and one with Infinite faith in
the mercy of God. Another letter was ly
ing near the first. This was written on
a sheet of wrapping paper, and
was lying upon the table with the writ
ing plainly visible. It was written In a
plain hand and perfectly legible, not a
trace of nervousness being visible. It read
as follows:
"Death it preferable to insanity, and I
choose it as the lesser of two evils. It is
a horrible state of affairs, but the voices
are calling me, and I can hold back no
longer. Good bye to all. Hamilton Jay.
"Sunday night, Jan. 29, 1899."
It is inferred that the writer was not in
his sound mind; in fact, some of his friends
had been talking recently of having him
examined by physicians and placed in
some Institution. He had. It is stated, re
cently become a victim to the use of mor
phine, and it was thought his mind
was giving way under severe mental strain.
Of iate he kept himself confined to his
room and ventured out only occasionally,
and then he spoke only to Intimate friends.
On a dresser in .the room was found a
paper labeled' 'cyanide of potassum, two
ounces; poison.” and the firm name of
Leake & McN’iel, druggists, on it. This
drug was purchased last Wednesday, as
was ascertained by a written order in the
possession of the druggists sent them on
that day, and reading as follows:
"Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 25, 1899.—Dear
Doctor: Kindly send we two ounces of
cyanide of potassium, and charge to my
account. I am gaining strength rapidly,
and will soon be on the warpath again.
Yours very truly, Hamilton Jay.”
CoV. Jay went to Florida from Trenton,
N. J., at the close of the civil war, with
Dr. 3. B. Conover. Col. Jay was in
command of a cavalry regiment on the
union side during the war between the
states, and served with distinction through
the struggle. Upon his arrival in Florida
he located at Lake City, and commenced
the publication of a weekly newspaper,
which he ran for several years. When Har
rison Reed was made Governor of the state
by the Republicans he appointed Dr. Con
over state trtasurer, and Jay stopped the
publication of his paper to accept the posi
tion of private secretary to Dr. Conover.
When Treasurer Conover was afterward
made United States senator, in 1874, he
had CoL Jay appointed postmaster of
this city, which position he held for four
years, making one of the best of
ficials this city has ever had. While post
master he married a young lady of Live
Oak. After term of office expired he
devoted his attention to literary work, con
tributing largely to several prominent
Northern journals and magazines. In 1888
he went to work as city editor upon the
Times-Union. This position he held for
several years. Subsequently he was edi
tor of the afternoon edition of the Times-
Union, at the same time furnishing edito
rial and special matter for the morning
edition. At the time of the consolidation
with the Citizen he was holding the posi
tion of editor of the afternoon edition of
the Times-Union. This publication was
stopped, and Jay was without employment.
He afterward acted as stamp clerk in the
postofflee under Postmaster Eagan, dur
ing the rush at the time the soldiers of
the Seventh Army Corps were stationed
here. Since September he had no employ
ment, and during this time he became very
despondent, and acquired the morphine
habit.
UNIVERSITY AND MERCER.
A Controversy About Oratorical Con
tests—Other Matters.
Athens, Ga., Jan. 31.—There is a lively
controversy going on between the students
of the university and those of Mercer Uni
versity relative to the recent action of
the State Oratorical Association In barring
from its contests all who have lectured or
preached for money. Mercer does not like
this, as it cuts out several of her best
speakers. The university boys maintain
that it is necessary in order to keep pro
fessionalism out pf the contests.
The Fifteenth ' Pennsylvania Regiment
was mustered out yesterday afternoon at
Camp Haskell, and left at once for Cheir
homes in the Keystone States. It is rumor
ed that the Two Hunded and Second New
Y'ork Regiment will be sent here to be
mustered out. They are now at Pinar del
Rio province, Cuba.
It Is also rumored that the six reglmenti
now at Greenville, S. C., will be trans
ferred to Athens, as Gen. Randall has re
ported lo the war depariment that the
Qreenvilie camp is not what it should be.
The approaching wedding of Mias Anna
