This morning at 6 o’clock the engi

below the junction.
On backing book to investigate, he
found a man lying dead at the side of

were at once notified, and Coroner
Granlson Wynn soon had a jury or

the killing. '
There they found Anthony Alfianese,

from his body at
or two in his neck. 1114 machine fur
grinding scissors nnd Ills bell were
found on the embankment and were
unbroken or unharmed. His shoes
had been taken oil nnd one of them
was njilsslrtg, and the body lay just otf
the traok six or seven feet from a
large pool of blood where he had ap
parently first been struck. A few
papers containing matches and one
thing and another had been taken
from hia pocket and left opened on the
orosstles near by.
Thonjtht It Wit. Murder.
From the oonsidoration of these
faots several members of the jury
thought the case wns one of murder
Und went to work accordingly.
One statement was to the effeot that
man had been seen looking for him
with a gnn. Another was that he had
been seen walking two or three hun
dred yards from where he had been
killed one hour before the train was
due.
Dr. W. L. Davis was summoned,
and, after a thorough post-mortem ex
amination pf hi* *"*" 1 * Will body, eodlit
find no traces of where he had been
shot. He stated it as his opinion that
Albanese had been killed by being run
over by the train. The jury, accord
ingly, brought In tlie verdiot:
“We, the jury, agree that the de
ceased came to Ills death by being run
over by a railroad train on the Bruns
wick and Western Kailroad.
“A. J. LiPl’iTT, Foreman.”
t Wn* It illnnlerf
In spite of the verdict of the coro
ner’s jury many think that, the dead
man wns murdered nnd placed upon
the track In urder to avoid suspicion.
If such was tlie case, the murderer was
not very clever, for he left tlie tools
unharmed,.and the body six or seven
feet from the first pool of blood
The facts in the case all make it ap
pear that the man was foully dealt
with, though no clue can bo found to
the solution of the crime, and no rea
son can be assigned lor it, ns .$20.10
were found in his pockets, two ten-
dollar bills and two flve-cent pieces.
If he wns murdered the motive seems
not to have been that of robbery,
though it may have been that the
money was overlooked, it being in an
inBide vest pocket. Tlie fact, too, that
his bIiocs were taken oft' seems to indi
cate that lie bad been searched.
Then, too, some think it possible
that he may have been drunk ami fell
upon tlie track as he was walking
along there. A pint bottle of whisky
was found on his person, but it wus
full and apparently untouched. This
seems to do away witli the theory that
he was drunk, though he may have
been intoxicated before leaving tlie
city. People who snw him near tlie
junction yesterday afternoon, however,
are of the opinion that he was sober.
The case is still a mystery, though
the general opinion seems to be that
he was foully dealt with.
Wha He Will.
The deceased was an Italian scissor
grinder who has been in Albany but a
short while,.coming here from nobody
knows where. He was probably on
biB way to the next town when killed.
From papers contained in his pocket
it was learned that he was Anthony
Albanese, an Italian probably from
Columbus, Ohio.
A letter was found among the
papers written in Italian, and signed
Filomena Albanese, perhaps his wife.
An express receipt for a package con
taining $50 directed to Filomena Al
banese, Columbus, Ohio, a small note
book containing one or two addresses,
and $20.10 in money were also found
on hiB person. The two ten dollar bills
were wrapped in a greasy piece of
paper and were in Ilia inside vest
pocket.
Coroner Wynn brought these effects

LATKR PARTICULARS OF TUB CRIME—
WILLIAMS IX JAIL.
From Mondny’a Evening Hernia.
On Saturday afternoon enough evi
dence was collected against Boss Wil
liams to warrant his arrest for the
murder of Anthony Albanese, the Ital
ian who was found dead on the B. &
W. traoks on Saturday morning.
Williams is a Negro who, up to three
or four weeks ago was employed by
Cruger & Face as night watolimaii,
but about that time was discharged,
and, since then, lias not been very
flushed in pocket-book.
The facts in the case lead everyone
to believe that the man was murdered
and placed oil the traok. They were
substantially these: He was lying,
when found, several feet from a pool
of blood; his legs had been out off by
a train but no blood flowed from them;
gashes were found in hia neck and on
his head which, from h|g position could
not have been made by the train; Ilia
machine and bell were unharmed; his
slices Imd been taken off and one of
them was missing; papers had been
taken from liis pockets and were found
opened ou the crossties,'and further lie
had been seen three hundred yards
from where killed an hour, before the
train was due.
Evidence Atfnlnel Wllllnms,
Boss Williams had been seen late
Friday afternoon by two negroes
across the river with a gun on his
shoulder, lie asked them about the
Ttalian and they pointed in the direc
tion lie had goue, whereupon Williams
broke out in a run In the direction in
dicated.
Williams was seen in town again
shortly before nine o’olook, when be
got Sarah Daniels a sandy bottom
woman to give him Bllver dollars for
some niokies and dimea which he had.
About nine o’olook he went to hia
boarding bouse, kept by a woman
named Stevens and boasted that he
had plenty of money, whereiipob lie
paid hia board bill.
These faots led to the arrest of Wil
liams by OfBoer MoLarty, anil ilia Ne- ,

AIAiomI Itim Over by n Train.
From Monday’s Evening Herald.
Messrs. 11. A. and It. P. llftll nnd Air,
J. IJ. Davis lmd a narrow escape from
what might have been a serious acci
dent this morning while on their way
to breakfast.
They were in Mr. Hall’s rookaway,
nnd when they reached the Washing
ton street crossing of the Blakely Ex
tension railroad, a switch engine was
engaged in drawing a lot of freight
cars on the tracks that take up most of
the street at that point. One of the
cars had been left standing directly
across the cepter of the thoroughfare,
and while driving around the horse
became unruly, and the carriage was
struok by one of the moving cars.
The shafts were broken, and Mr. B.
A. Hall thrown to the ground, but all
three of the gentlemen escaped injury,
The accident, it seems, was due to the
carelessness of the engineer on the
switch engine in leaving the car in the
middle of the street. The gentlemen
are to be congratulated on escaping
witbont injury,
Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, is
not so elated over hia re-election now
as be was at first. He has discovered
that it was due to the mistake of many
Republican voters who didn’t under
stand the Australian ballot system
and scratched tlie wrong name on the
ticket. This may be a rather unoom
fortable feeling, but it’s Goy. Russell 1

Praia Friday's Kvksiso iikuai.h.
Yesterday, Thursday, November the
24th, was a day set apnrt, acoording
to a custom of long standing in the
country, for the offering of thanks to
Almighty God for the manifold iner-
oles and.lilessing, poured upon us for
the pnst year.
The people of Albany have mnoh to
be thankful for. Disease, pestilence
and misfortune have been kept from
ua by the, hand of an aliwiae Provi
dence, and the blessings of continued
growth and prosperity have been ours.
Never hap a eity been more favored in
every rciijiect, and 011 yesterday, look
ing baok roil the past year’s experi
ences, every citizen of Albany could
see muoh to be thankful for.
The buijnesa men of the city, by
mutual agreement, closed their stores
and offloes. and the main streets had a
Sunday air of quietude throughout
the day.',
IN THE CITY.
Persons who remnlned in the oity
came out in their beat raiment, and
pnssed the morning and afternoon
making dalls, or driving in the city or
around the country.
, HUNTING PARTIES.
Ab early ns 2 o’clock in the morning,
the rattle of wheels and the sound of
burses’ f#et denoted the departure of
hunting parties, bent on. making war
fare on file denizens of the woods.
Several parties hied themselves to the
swamps^ of lower Dougherty and
Baker, find stood all day on their
stands waiting for a deer to show
himself.' 1 They returned with their
guns and ammunition, no deer.
The parties of duok hunters fared
little better, but those sportsmen who
went in quest of quail returned with
a goodly number of the whirring in
habitants of tlie fields and woods.

Union Thanksgiving service that had
been arranged.
The church was beautifully deoorat-
qd with evergreens, flags and festoons
of the red, white and blue.
The ohoir composed some of the
finest musioal talent In the oity, and
the antliemB were all beautiful and in
spiring. The services were opened by
prayer by Rev. IV. E' Eppes. Capt.
Jno. A. Davis, Col. Jno. P. Fort and
Capt. Jno. T. neater all made short,
eloquent nddreases in the order mimed

WORTH DEMOCHATM.
From Saturday’s Uvkkinb IIkhald.
Senator W. E. Wooten was in tlie
city this morning and spoke of the
card signed “One Taxpnyer” in regard
to the Publio school bill, wliioli ap
peared in the Herald a few days ago.
The oard In question asked for n
statement of the purposes and .intents
of the bill, and their publication, that
the people might know whnt Senator
Wooten intended to do.
“Far from being too previous,” said
Senator Wooten, “tlie matter tins been
brought to the public attention time
and again. The people have had am
ple time and opportunity to study in
full, the intents and purposes of the
measure.
“The measure merely proposes a ro-
enaotmeiit of tlie bill passed in 1890,
and which was npproved December
9th, 1890, but whloli expired by reason
of some limitations oontnlned in it. It
oan be found in full In the sots of 1890,
and is contained also in the eity code,
and the title as published in the oity
papers shows that It is merely a re
enactment of the aforesaid bill.
It. has been brought to the publio at
tention in full through the press, nnd
those who wish, oan inform themselves
as to its intents and purposes by refer
ence either to the sots of 1890 or to the
oily code.”

From Friday’s Evening Iturnld.
It ia pretty well known now that
Col. T. W. Fleming, of Baker oounty,
who is the candidate for the Senate to
fill Col. Reuben Jones’ seat, will have
some Third Party opposition.
Who it would be was
not exaotly known until to-day.
But it is pretty oertsln now that Mr.
I. F. Coleman, of Damascus in Early

will make the raoe against the vener

Of course this opposition will not
amount tifaiuoh as Baker’s large Dem-

prominent and well-known citizen of
Thomasville, wns accidently shot and
killed by a gun In the hands of Mr. J.

The coroner’s jury fully justified Mr.

over the affair.
The Diamand Inebriate. ^
In a recent article the St. Louis
Globe-Demoorat introduces a new
type of inebriates, namely, “the dia
mond inebriate.” This genus is de
scribed as an individual who spends
all his leisure time admiring the
gleaming baubles in.shop windows,
and who would lose every earthly pos
session before he would part with one
of the gems if once obtained. v
Mark Twain has settled down for
the winter with his family at Florence,
Italy.
It is the opinion of every person
who has done much hunting this win
ter that there is a greater quantity of
game of all sorts to be found than
there has been in five or six, years.
Mr. W. M. Blltoh, freight agent here
for the S, F. & W. railroad, will resign
his position some time in Deeembor to
enter the ministry. He will attend
the South Georgia oonferenoe on the
14th of Deoembor, shortly after whioh
he will tender his resignation as
freight agent and enter upon his min
isterial duties.
This leaves an Important railroad
position to be Ailed, and it is probable
that Cnpt. W. S. Bull will receive the
appointment, he being an npplloant
for the position. Capt Bull is one of
the most effloient conductors in tho
employ of tho Plnnt system. He Iisb
for a long time made the run on the

A Uouulry IB luxe.
On Saturday night last the residence
of Mrs.V. I. Bennett about eight miles
out in tho country on the Byron place,
was burned to tho ground.
The house is supposed to have caught
from a fire in the kitohen, and there
being no means of preventing its
spreading, the fipmes had their own
way, nnd the building was soon in
ashes. Some of the household effect?,
however, were rescued. Airs. Bennett
has no insurance.
Wanted’ An Explanation.
An observant student of human na-
ture, observes a London writer, has
noticed that when a man oonsidera
himself possessed of more thnn ordi
nary ability, lie frequently lets ills
liair grow long; whereas a woman,
whu thibks the same of herself nnd
wants to be the savior of her sister,
cuts her hair short. Will some genius
kindly offer an explanation?
The Mayer & Crlne building is tak
ing shape enough for it to be seen
that it will be a very handsome one
when completed.
A Comparison ol Bknlb.
A comparative examination of the
akulls of savage and civilized races
shows that the increased brain devel
opment of the latter is always ac
companied by a marked modification
in the form and size of the Jaws and
teeth. This modification is usually
spoken of as a degenerate condition.
