An Alleged Unbalanced Savannahian
Found Wandering About the streets
of Atlanta.
An Misunderstanding middle-aged gen.
tleman was found wandering aimlessly
about the streets in Atlanta between mid
night and O'Clock on Monday morning.
On being approached by an officer he
looked induiringly about and asked.
Where is the BaY:" The WhatE' re-
plied the officer. faihng to understand the
strangers meaning. 4 don't understand

want to 90 to the Bay, and don't want to
drown myself, either"
The officer. thinking the man was
drunk. placed him under arrest. On the
wav to the station house he said that his
name was William LuddingtOn, Of Sayan-
nah. and he wanted TO 90 to the Bay
Not being able to detect any trace
Of liquor. the officer was puzzled as
TO whom he had got hold of. Dur
inc their talk before reaching the station
the officer became convinced that his prl-
sOner was not drunk, but that his mental
faculties were impaired. He was placed
i'm a comfortable cell apart from the other
prisoners for the night. From letters
found in the gentleman's possession 1t
was ascertained that his home is in Sa-
Yannah Among the letters was one writ
ten by Mayor Hagan, OF Mobile, bearing
date of July 18th. In this letter 1t was
stated that l.uddington had been in Mo
bile for quite a while and that his mind
was somewhat unbalanced. The letter re-
quested all persons with whom the bearer
NAV meet to aid him as the case may
require i'm view Of his mental troubles. lie
was gentleman Of good address, and IN
conversation used elegant language. lie
was cOnversant with Shakespeare, Byron
and Burns. and inteTjected quotations
from these authors during his talk. lie
did not seem to realize the fact that he Is
away from Mobile, for when he approach
ed the officer his first request was TO be
directed to the Bay. In talking he named
the streets OF Mobile as well as other
points in that city. He is said to be about
forty-siX or seven years of age. and has
the general appearance of gentleman.
His hair and beard are beginning to show
that age is creeping upon him.
The impression among the Atlanta police
was that he has been wandering around
between Mobile and Atlanta since the l2tn
OF July. 1t was stated in that city that
he would be sent to Savannah.
The party is probably William A. Lud-
Gington. machinist, who left here sew
eral years since. He IArried most esti-
mable lady, whom he afterwards deserted,
leaving her to take care OF herself and
their LITTLE child.

Tools Used in Building the Pyramids

Tools Used in Building the Pyramids.
During a residence of two winters in a
tomb at CHEZ, Mr.. w. NJ. Flinders Petrie
collected evidence showing that the tools
used in working stone 400 years ago were
constructed with a jewel as the cutting
edge. He stated his reasons for coming
to this conclusion in paper read before
the AnthropolQgical Institute, a resume
OF which is published in recent issue of
EnGineerind, of London.
Solid and tubular drills, straight and
circular disk saws and lathe tools were
made with jewels set in metal. The lines
of cutting on granite core made by a
tubular drill form continuous spiral,
the grooves being of a uniform depth and
width throughout, showing that the cut
ting point was not worn as the work adj
vanced. The regular taper of the core
would indicate that jewels were also set
upon the outside and inside of the drill,
thereby facilitating its removal. In some
specimens of granite the drills sank one
tenth of an inch at each revolution, and
the pressure necessary TO do this must
have been from one to two tons.
The skill of the wOrkmen and the capac-
ity of the tools are illustrated by the clean
path through both soft and hard
material-no difference in the groove
being Percephole' sof al'hou 9i;6stond II
into quartz, subiecting the tool to an
enormous strain. In plain surfaces the
depth and width of the cuts indicate the
successive strokes of saw, and the use
of the circular saw is proved by the regu-
larlv curved lines. The forms of the tools
were the same that experience has sane
toned at the present day.
The scarcity of the diamond and the
lack of strength in the sapphire and beryl
led to the consideration of oorundum.
Nothing has been found about the metal
of which the tool was made or the method
of setting the Jewel.

At the special term of Supreme Court,
convened at Atlanta on Monday, Chlet
Justice jackson and Associate Justices
Hall and Blandford presiding, the follow
ing decision in the case of the Central
Railroad VS.. Roach, from the Eastern
circuit, was rendered:
Central Railroad vs.. Roach. Case, from
Chatham. Railroads. Damages. Neg
ligence. Master and Servant. Practice
in Supreme Court. Res adjudicata.
HALL, il. There was no error in over
ruling the motion to dismiss this case.
(a) The cases of DAILY VS.. StOddard, 90

fore the court on a former occasion "a

of criminal negligence in cO-employe
was then made, and the doctrine OF res adj
iudicata does not apply.
tb). This court has held by full bench
that to entitle the widow Of a servant to
recover against the principal for the
NEGLIGENCE of a fellow servant for the
homicide of her husband resulting from
such negligence. it must appear that the
homicide amounted to crime in such
neglectful servant, either murder or man.

by a unanimous Judgment of a full court,
and afterwards the reverse of 1t is LAID

of might have been imperfect. for want
of fullness, but in connection with its
context, the charge was full and in ac-
cOrdance with the former rulings Of this
court.
3. The evidence sustains the verdict
and the damages found are not excessive.
a.. A verdict for damages Will not be set
aside for eXcessiveness unless the amount
found be so excessive as to authorize
suspicion that it was the result Of bias or
prejudice, or to justify the inference of
gross mistake. Code $S3067, 2941.

Numbers of people hurried out to the
vicinity. but only a few scattering groups
were to1lnd. and no attempt had been
made to hasten the work of justice. The
VERTEBRATE convictions of those most eager
for the apprehension and conviction OF
the perpetrators of the atrocious deed
are. that the movement made on Monday
night was wholly unwise and premature
and if the purposes of the rabble had DeeIl
carried into execution innocent blood
might have paid the penalty for muir

\ serious Blow from a stone.

Yesterday morning, while number of
boys were playing on Montgomery street,
near Charlton, fracas occurred among
them, which terminated seriously. 1t ap-
pears that one Of the party, a lad ten or
twelve years OF age, by the name of Mad
dock, became somewhat enraged at re-
mark made concerning him, and sought to
defend his name. He made an appeal to
his companion who had made the remark
and asked him to retract. which it is
stated he refused TO do. At this juncture
he picked up a stone and hurled it at
Maddox, striking him on the left side OF
the head and intlicting a very serious and
ugly wound, from which the blood flowed
freely. The case was taken in hand by
the PARENTS of the bows.

shot il the Hand.

A little boy living with Mrs. Cooper, on
the corner oil West Broad and st. Julian
streets, while playing with a pistol yester-
day, shot himself through the left hand,
inflicting a slight wound.
1t was ascertained that the boy, while
attempting to adjust some portions of the
cylinder, by miscalculatiOn discharged
the weapon, which, fortunately, was
pointing in an opposite direction
from his body. otherwise the contents OF
the piece would have entered his body
The lad was more frightened than hurt,
and. no doubt, the reckless use Of firearms
in this instance will be a waning to other
lads who handle them.

Editor HorniRg Ne,cs: There seems to
be Misunderstanding in the minds Of our
Augusta friends in regard to the owner
ship OF the foul flags presented by us, and
which the DiXies carried to Macon. The
misunderstanding arose from a statement
that ''the boys took with them
the beautiful foul flags, the tro-
phies already won as champions Of
the State Association" This quotation
was copied in the Augusta NelcS the eve
ming after the match, and led our Augusta
friends justly to think that they had won
the flags, which they did not, as they were
simply carried to Macon to exhibit, not to
contend for. The flags were offered by us
to that Savannah club which won the
greatest number OF games at the end of
the season. The DiXies having done so,
the flags clearly belong to them to do with
them as they choose.
BY publishing the above, you will great
ly Oblige yours respectfully,
JOYCE IL HUNT.

Early last evening rumOrs were circu-
lated through the city that crowds were
collecting in various localities and
that second attempt would be
made to take possession Of the jail;
By 5 O'Clock between fifty and
seventy-five people, in groups,
were scattered about the Park and along
Whitaker street i'm the vicinity Of the

beers were increased, but everything was
