2 ARROWOOD ADJUDGED INSANE. ATLANTA’S SEW PARANOEIC BOI'KD FOR MIIXEDCEV ! 1,1. K. The Doctor VAlio \Vn* Fond of School Girin Enemies the Chain-Gang. Third Georgia Ollicers lUslnn-The Geological Department Vindicat ed—Workina t n the State Fair. Another Hill Agalitat the Atlanta 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. A SPECIAL TERM OF COURT. To Investigate the Killing of the Kostina Near Colquitt.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
