. VOLUME XV. ALBANY, QA., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 6 1906. NUMBER 68. HAD CLOSE CALL W. T. Matthews Accident ally Swallowed Overdose of Laudanum While on Georgia Northern Train. W. T. Matthews, a traveling sales man' representlng^e Green’s August Flower Co., of Woodbury, N. J., had a close call for Ills life tills morning ■while on a Georgia Northern train en route from Moultrie to this city. An overdose of laudanum, taken by accident, was responsible for Mr. Matthews’ narrow escape. The traveling man boarded the Georgia Northern train at Moultrie, intending to come to this city. Short ly after leaving Moultrie, he had oc casion to take a dose of medicine, for which purpose he took a phial from his grip. Whether Be Intended to take a small dose of laudanum, or of some other physic, is not known. * At any rate, a few minutes after he had taken the dose, Matthews was dis covered in an unconscious condition. Passengers who observed him went to his assistance, and two physicians who chanced to he on the train were summoned. They were Dr. Hicks, of Carlisle, and Dr. Lindsey, of Moultrie. For some tlmd' it appeared that MatthewB was dead, and the efforts of the physicians to resuscitate him were for a long while unavailing. Eventu ally, however, consciousness returned, though when the train reached Albany the unfortunate man was not consid ered out of danger. He was carried to the New Albany hotel, and Dr. W. L. Davis was summoned. He re ceived every‘attention, and this after noon is rapidly recovering from the effects of the deadly drug, STILL RECOVERING BODIES Victoria, Jan. G.—Thirty-six bo’dles from the Valencia steamer wreck have been recovered, including twelve brought in yesterday. IT IS 111 DFFA horrible railroad wreck ON THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. T COUNTESS BONI DE CASTEL- LAINE, JAY GOULD’S DAUGH TER, FILES SUIT FOR DI VORCE FROM HUSBAND. Paris, Feh. 6. — Countess Boni de Castellane (formerly Anna Gould) en tered a plea for divorce yesterday. Representatives of the countess and the count appeared before Judge Hen ry Ditte, of the court of first instance, who, in conformity with the French law, endeavored to arrange a concilia tion before allowing a definite suit to proceed. It is said on unquestionable authority that Judge Ditte’s efforts were riot successful, the countess ab solutely declining to resume her rela tions with her husband, and that after repeated but vain attempts by Count de Castellano’s advisers to arrange a settlement, the representatives of the count and countess l^ft the court, and that the suit V* 11 proceed. ___ Y our ants - For Saw Mills, Engines, BoiL Lers, Fittings, Pipings, Belting, Wire Fencing, Another judicial effort at reconcilia tion will almost certainly be made be fore the, suit comes to trial in the ordinary court. No decision has been reached rela tive to the eventual custody of the children of the count and countess, but they being under, age, will for the present naturally remain in the care of their'mothrir. Friends of the Coujj£ and Countess de Castellano express little hope that any adjustment of their differences will be brought about,, but as' divorce proceedings under the French law are very lengthy, new developments may occur before the case comes up for trial. A decree can not he pro nounced under from three to- six months. Rumors have been current for a long time that the countess had de cided that any further continuance of her relations with her husband was impossible, and her removal from the Castellane residencb to a hotel in the center of Paris gave support to the belief that she had finally decided to apply for a divprce. Sensational re ports have been circulated with refer ence to the count’s conduct, and the name of a, prominent society leader of Paris, a, woman,’of very high stand ing, has been mentioned in connection with the affair. But the greatest reti cence has been maintained by all the parties concerned relative to the. pro gress of the negotiations looking to a reconciliation, and even yesterday morning a favorable result was ex pected, especially as the countess re turned toi her residence. It now ap pears that the efforts of those inter ested in bringing about a settlement of the differences between the count ess and the count without an appeal tp the courts have been unavailing. The count is said to he in the south east of France. And anything in the Machinery line we can furnish. We are wholesale dealers and our prices and ser vice satisfactory. Alt any Mack mery Co.
