SHE Rev. G.. A. Wilkins, lately of
SALISBURY, has dissolved his connection
with the Baptist denomination. He
was received into the Episcopal Church
by the Rev. VIM. B. Walker Of st Pc
ters, Bennington, was confirmed by
Bishop Bissell and has become a candi-
date for orders in the Episcopal minis
rry. During the time preparatory to
his ordination, he is serving most &C.
ceptably as Lay-reader in the parishes
at Randolph and West Randolph. 1t is
a curious coincidence that Mr.. Wilkins
is the third minister of the Lamoille
(Baptist) Conference, whe has entered
the Episcopal church within three years
the other two being the Rev. Mr..
Pratt and Prof. Gould.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Oct. 29.-The investiga-
ton into the causes of the numerous &C
cidents on the local branches of the Central
system was continued up to a late hour last
night, and had not been concluded when
the court adjourned. 1t will be resumed
Thursday morning, as Supt. w. H.
McClintock had to leave the city this morn
ing for Montgomery to assist the Alabama
railroad commissioners in an inspection of
the Central lines and depots in that state.
The inspection will last two days.
GROSS CARELEssNEss ALLEGED.
So far, the evidence shows that the
wrecks which have been investigated were
the result of gross carelessness on the part
of the crews, and five engineers, two con-
ductors, and two fagmen have been dis
arged from the service. 1t is stated that
there was evidence of free use of whisky
in some cases. The discharged men are
very wrathy over the result. aud they are
very reckless in their statements, some of
which would be very damaging to at least
one official, if clearly proven. Radical
changes are expected at an early date.

NEW HAvEgs D1pHrHER1A.
A Physician Declares that the Disease
was Imported

New YORK, Oct ga New Haven
special says: "Dr. D. A Lindsey. secretary
Of the Connecticut board of health, and
probably the best authority on zymotic dis
eases in the state, has nearly finished an
examination into the causes of the preva-
lence OF typhoid fever at Yale college. OF
eight cases among 1,500 students at the
college, of which three have resulted
fatally, DR.. Lindsey finds that all began
during the first two or three weeks after
the opening of the college term, and that
during the last two weeks no new cases
at al have developed. Most of the
cases came on almost Immediately after the
term bsgan. Dr. Lindsey. therefore, is
convinced that the seeds Of the fever ex-
listed in all the cases of the affected students
before they came to New Haven, and that
those seeds germinated into the disease in
accordance with a common tendency in
such cases when an infected person changes
his residence. In other words, In his opin-
ion the disease in these cases would probably
have developed had the victims gone to
other places than New Haven.

man, getting the best of it, They then became

a cypress pole lying on the ground near by,
and struck him on the side of the head.

Robbed, as He Said.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct 29.-It was recently
noted that c. w. Oliver, tax collector of
Pike county, had been robbed. E. D. Mat
thews of Hope, Ga, who was a clerk in
Collector divers office, is now languishing
IN the Atlanta station house, and will be
called upon to explain why $500,
collected on Friday last from the tax
payers, is not forthcoming. Mathews, who
is Baptist minister, is said to be a brother
of the former representative from Pike
county. His story is that during a storm
on Friday night he was approached by two
men, VINO desired that he sell them certain
goods from small store ne runs in Hope.
He says he accompanied them to the store,
where he was set upan and stabbed and
stoned and beaten until he was
unable to resist. Then his assailants robbed
him at their leisure. The case was put in
the hands of an Atlanta detective, who
arrested Matthews. and claims to hold
strong proof against him. Matthews
exhibits several cuts and bruises to corrobo-
rate his story.

SEIZURE OF THE ADAMS.
The Judgment Against the Vessel
Very Hard on Her Owner.

The Judgment Against the Vessel
Very Hard on Her Owner.
GLOUCESTER, MASS, Oct. 29.-The judy
ment which was rendered in the vice adj
miralty court at Halifax yesterday by
Chief Justice Mcdonald against the schooner
David j. Adams, of this port, seized three
years ago for violating the fishery treaty,
caused no comment among the owners here.
The vessel was first seized, after the abroga-
ton of the Washington treaty, and her
owner intended to bond her, but was advised
by the fishery union to make test case. as
Canada would have to pay for the vessel
and the loss incurred. The decision is a
severe blow to the owner. He expected that
those who advised him to take the course
he did would reimburse him for his loss,
but nothing has been said during the past
two years in his behalf, and lie will probably
have to bear the burden which falls sc
heavily upon him.

a dangerous friendship with McGregor that
the latter was shot by Cody. He regrets
very much that it should have been deemed
