AN ABANDONED SHIP.
A Mystery Of the Deep Cleared up-A
Strange Story.

The brig Mary Celeste, abandoned of
all her officers and crew, was picked up
at sea by a British vessel near the West
ern Islands, not very far from the Euro
pean coast, and taken into Gibraltar.
She was sound throughout as on the day
when she sailed, had her canvas set, and
only needed a man at the helm to have
sailed smoothly into port. Captain
Winches, who was sent out to inspect
her condition, has reported to us in per-
sou the result of his examination.
There was nothing in or about the ves-
sel tc furnish a hint of the reason why
she vas forsaken. The captain, Ben
iamin S. Briggs, of Massachusetts, had
his wife and child with him, and their
wardrobe was left untouched, and her
work as she laid it down, perhaps at the
moment of leaving, precisely as 1t
would appear in any well regulated
home if the mistress had stepped for a
moment to the door and been unexpect-
edly shut out. A report was circulated
that a bloody sword was found, but this
our informant examined, and decided
that the mark in question, supposed to
be blood, was only q spot OF ancient
rust.
The vessel was worth more than her
insurance, so that the underwriters here
have no suspicion of any foul play or
intended wrong. The most reasonable
suppositiOn is that she grounded on a
shoaI. which certainly lay in her intend
ed pathway, and only foated after she
had been abandoned by her officers and
crew. 1t is certainly to be hoped that
the missing company will come safely
to land at last. to unravel the seeming
mystery, but the distance of time which
has ELAPSED leaves but a slender chance
of such a recovery. She sailed hence for
Genoa, as our records show, on No
yember 7th. The last record IN her
Iogbook was November oath, and she
was discovered by the brig Del Gratia
lBritish) ten days after-that is, Deeem-
Der 4th. It is not yet too late to hear
that the wanderers were saved, but
every day which elapses without tidings
from them lessons the chances of their
safety.
Nothing was missed from the cap
taiu's stores but q quadrant, his personal
effects otherwise remaining intact.
In the forecastle the order was still
more remarkable. The chests of the
crew contained abundant provision of
clothing; some of it entirely new, and
none of it disturbed to signalize any
preparation for exit. In one chest a
good draft on a foreign banker for thirty
dollars was carefully placed as when the
owner left this port.
These appearances forbid all suspicion
of mutiny or quarrel among the little
company who took to the boats and left
a sound ship under full sail to its un-
guided course.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
Judge Daly's Board OF Physicians De-
clare him TO be Of UnsOund Mind.

From the New York sun, March l9.J
Monday afternoon, Drs. William
Hammond and Thaddeus Cross, the
board de lIt11aticO iRgUirendo appointed
by Judge DAILY, by request of District
Attorney Phelps, to determine the con-
dition of Mr.. George Francis Train, for
warded their report to the district-attor-
ney. 1t was very brief, merely declar-
ing Mr.. Train to be subject to delusions,
irritations in his conduct, and of un-
sound mind. DR.. Hammond subse-
quenIly said to Sun reporter that he
did not think Mr.. Train a dangerous lu-
matte, and has refused TO sign an affida-
Wit that he ought not to be at large. He
thought Mr.. Train a timid man, except
in his language, and was of opinion that
he ought to be at once released from
confinement, as that tended to aggra-
vate his malady. "Mr. Train, . he
said. ''is a man of great genius and fine
education. His chief illusions were that
he was to be pagan dictator; was the
only man who could save the country,
and was the leader of the information
ais"
The reporter afterward visited District
Attorney Phelps, in order to ascertain
MudL GtLlDll ltC nd eOAh5 " NeNhAC VI lA1C
report of the medical board. Mr.. Phelps
said that he should lay the report before
Judge Daily, who, as first judge of the
court of common pleas, acted as county
Judge, and under the provisions Of the
statute of 1912 he has the power either
to impannel a jury to decide the ques-
tion Of Mr.. Trains sanity, or to send
him to the Utica asylum on his own
commitment. Mr.. Phelps has no doubt
that Mr.. Train had a screw loose
somewhere, but he thought him harm
less, and not subject to hallucinations
fraught with danger to anyone.
The medical commission has made
two visits to Mr.. Train; the last one on
Monday receiving extra official sanction
through the action Of Judge Bowling,
who went with the doctors to Mr..
Trains cell.
Mr.. Train says very little about the
doctors decision. He thinks that there
is a conspiracy to get him into an asy-
lum, and he win quietly submit to the
authorities, relying upon his friends to
see him vindicated.
His friends are aroused, and they will
make a fight that promises the strongest
kind of diversion in Mr.. Trains favor.

nrrrRnER IA BRInaEeoRT.

A bloody tragedy occurred at Bridge
port, on the Nashville and Chattanooga
railroad, at half-past seven o'clock yes
terday morning. It appears that Wiley
w. Hightower, chief br-dge-builder on
that road, had a fight with Thomas
Glover, u few days ago, in which Glover
came out worsted. For this reason
Glover bore a grudge against High
tower, and this feeling was shared by
his brother, William Glover. William
Glover kept a store opposite the depot.
When BightOwer came upon the plat
form, at the time indicated, he was at
tackled by the two brothers, three shots
being exchanged. Hightower then re-
treated into the telegraph Office, and
while standing in it behind the stove,
William Glover came to the window
and shot him, the bali passing through
glass pane, stove-pipe, and Hightow-
eT's breast. HighgOwer survived his
wounds, which bled pTofCsely, only
few brief moments.
The following special dispatch to the
Banner was received at twelve O'Clock
last night from Stevenson, Alabama:
"This morning at Bridgeport, Wiley
w. HightOwer, chief bridge builder
Nashville and Chattanooga road, was
murdered by Thomas Glover, q saloon
keeper at that place. At the time of
the murder, Eightower was in the tele-
graph office. The murderer being out
side of it, shot through the window, the
ball taking effect in Hightcwer's breast,
three inches above the right nipple, and
passing through his body. HightOwer
was attacked by Clover's brother few
days previous. Both brothers made
this attack on Hightover, who, to es-
cape, went into the telegraph Office.
HightOwer's body was brought here,
where a eoroner's inquest was held and
a verdict rendered in accordance with
the above facts. t was taken to Muir
freesboro, his old home, tonight.
HORRIBLY s-ANGLED.
An sged woman was run over within
two miles of CaleTO, on the South and
North road, by a passenger train Thurs
day, and horribly mangled. She and
her daughter were waking along the
track, about fifty yards ahead of the
train, when the engineer first saw them.
He whistled and did all be could to check
the train. The DAUGHTER got off the
track, and was attempting to get her
mother off when the locomotive struck
and run ove- her. 1t was afterward as
certained that tie mother was rather
deaf, and had probably failed to hear
the whistle o. the locomotive, and TO
this cause the accident was mainly at
tributed.

A few DAYS ago, near Oakdale, ROane

both young men, started from the for

Adams being drunk commenced talking
about some young man who had been
visiting his sweetheart, and said he had
knocked him down three tunes. This
led to angry words, when Adams placed
his hand behind him as if to draw pis-
tol. While thus engaged Fritts fired
his rife, the bah piercing the heart Of

PROTEST.
The following is the protest of a
number of the members of the lower
house Of the Tennessee legislature
against the passage Of the " act to

" The undersigned members of the
house of representatives, hereby enter
their solemn protest against the passage
of senate bill No. 24O, entitled dAn act
to remedy the evils resulting from the
sale and use Of intoxicating liquors in
the State of Tennessee" /" as a bill in lieu
for house bill No. 304, entitled "An act
TO amend the tippling laws" pronoun-
cling the same p2lpable violation Of the
organic law Of the State, for the follow
ing reason:
f'Section is Of article IL, of the consti-
tuition of Tennessee, provides in unmis-
taxable language, that "eveTy bill shall
be read once ON three different days, and
be passed each time in the house where
it originated, before transmission to the
other. No bill shall become a law until
1t shall have been read and passed on
three different days il each house" etc.
''ln disregard of this plain and clear
provision, the said senate bill No. 24O,
containing many features and prOvis-
ions different from, and conflicting with
those of house bill No. 304, was substi-
tuied for the latter and passed March
