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.

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 in this morning and turned them over Is Williams aailiyt 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- , gro was WaMg-TOenrmeH Dy t»r tliose THANKSGIVING DAY. HOW IT A BRIEF REPLY.

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 fix just at present. 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. the Thanksgiving service last NionT. Last night tlie Methodist ohuroh ided to its utmost oapaolty by in'desired to participate in tbs 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 that were grently enjoyed. A collec tion for the benefit of the poor was taken up, and the services were con cluded by the singing of “Praise God, from Whom all Blessings Flow,” join ed in by the entire congregation, and the benediotion by Rev. \V. E. Eppes. 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.” WII.I.

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 oounty, a promldent Third Partyite, will make the raoe against the vener able Col.

Cooper, a prominent and well-known citizen of Thomasville, wns accidently shot and killed by a gun In the hands of Mr. J. M. Harrell of that place. The two were out with a hunting party when the accident occurred. The coroner’s jury fully justified Mr. Harrell, who was very deeply grieved 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 B. A W. between hero and Brunswick. 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.
