A Friend Of Johnson City Passes

A""J No NNNNNt Ns Ne
1t will be remembered that, last
year, DIR, Warren w. Wing spent q
consider able time in Johnson City.
From his first knowledge of the place
he was convinced of great future for
it, and wrote many letters for the
Northern and Eastern papers calling
attention to our natural and acquired
advantages. He left here and re-
turned to Weaverville, N. c., where he
had made his home for nine years, OH
account of his health, and we see from
the Virginia papers that he died there
on September 5th This writer has
known DR.. Wing since 1888, and he
was man of varied attainments, an
indefatigable worker, and, at one
time, a shrewd politician in Virginia.
He was warm friend of Malone, until
he found that he could no longer en-
dorse Mahone's methods. 7rM
From the Norfolk Landmark we
copy the following sketch of the de.
ceased gentleman 's -, Z
"Dr. Wing was from the North, but
settled early in life in Norfolk. He
was at one time member of the City
Council and was postmaster Of the
city during the Lincoln administra-
tions. When General Butler was ap-
pointed to the command Of the milf
tary district in which Norfolk was sit
uated he used his influence to have
DIR. Wing removed from the post
mastership for refusing to permit him
to tamper with the mails. Dr. Wing
was, however, re-appoihted 10 the
postmastership on the reelection Of
President Lincoln and served in the
same capacity until the incoming
Grant administration. During the in
terim between his ousting by Butler
and his reappointment by President
Lincoln, DR.. Wing was State Treas
urer ard member Of The Board Of Pub

SERIOUS CHARGES.
A Crazy Girls Accusations Against
Four Railroad Employees.

The demented girl, Louella Blevins,
who was picked up at the Central
Depot by Policeman Brock, remained
at headquarters Monday. Chief Kill
gore received telegram from the
father asking that if he paid her fare
from Chattanooga to Oneids would the
chief send her. The reply was that
the girl was not able to take care of
herself and that he must come for her.
Her coming to this city is not likely
to cause the police much trouble, but
it is almost certainty that it will cost
four railroad men employed on the
Cincinnati Southern their situations.
The girl brings serious charges against
these men. She claims she came to
the city in the caboose OF freight
train. The train was stopped out in
the Cincinnati Southern yards and the
men locked the caboose and NAL
treated her.
Detective Griffin, of the Queen &
Crescent Railroad, spent the greater
part of yesterday in the city investiga

PISTOLS BY The BUSHEL
Trial of Miss PfOffman for
Blowing Up
Joseph M. Juvenal'S House with
Dynamite.
His Wife Dies from Poison aud He is
Crazy.

KANSAS City, Mo-, Sept. 16.-The
blowing up Of his house in Armour
dale, Kan, and the strange death of
his wife by poison have seemingly
crazed Joseph NJ. Juvenal.
Twice Monday he insanely attempted
to do murder. That was the day set
for the preliminary hearing of Miss
Millie Pfoflman, charged with blowing
up Juvenals house with dynamite.
Miss Pioffman was the young woman
whom Juvenal Tilted for the woman
who subsequently became his wife,
and who died from the effects OF ar
senical poisoning last Saturday.
The arrangements for the trial were
unique, The crowd of people who
wanted to hear the trial was too great
to be accommodated in the small
Office of Justice Herring.
There is large lodge room over the
Justices office, which could be pro
cured for the hearing at rental OF
$3.50, and so as not to disappoint the
hundreds of people anxious to hear
the trial, the Justice announced that
if the necessary sum could be raised
among the crowd to pay the rent he
would adjourn court to the lodge
room. The constables passed around
their hats, and soon the desired
amount was raised. The Justice then
announced that court would be held
in the room above.
The case had attracted wide atten.
ton in Armourdale, and among the
friends of the parties interested the
feeling had run high. AS a pre-,
cautionary measure, therefore, the
Justice ordered that every male spec
tator should be searched for weapons
before being admitted to the cour
room. The constables were stationed
at the entrance, and they made thu
search. u.t .r
HALF BUsHIL OF REyOLvERs
And other weapons of various kinds
were gathered from the crowd. Juve
nal gave up two revolvers, and JOIN
Hale, attorney for Miss Pfoffman, gav'
up one. The search, however, was no
very exhaustive enc, and the con
stables failed to find dagger which
Juvenal had secreted in an inne
pocket and a Derringer which Hall
had placed beyond the starchers
reach. The trial was about to begin
when Juvenal suddenly drew his dag
ger and made for Hale. Before h.
could reach him, however, he was in
tercepted by the bystanders, who dis
armed him. Hale was expecting tn
attack, and drew his Derringer. He
too, was disarmed. After q hast,
consultation with the attorneys Justic
Herring adjourned Court Juvena
was arrested and taken to the Centrs
Police Station, where Reporter Huttor
OF the Times, followed to interview
him. 1@ i.2- Arr - 31
When Hutton was admitted to th
, corridor Juyenal seized a heavy stov
, iron, and would have beaten the r.
porter to death but for the interfe
ence of the guards. 1t is believe
: Juvenal has become insane as resu
= of his troubles. E1'L 20 1o--.ot -4.-i.

for $3.50 and left. He stayed afterward
in Cincinnati and Louisville, leaving
usually with somebody's money, and
finally landed in the penitentiary in
Florida. The exact nature of his
crime there is not known. 1t was
some sort of phosphate swindle, Stein
says that he was released by a special
act of the Legislature. Then he came
to Georgia. The summary given is by
no means complete, or it would fill a

says that
STEIN KILLED A MAN
in San Francisco, and that he got $10,-
600 out of Vanderbilt G. n some plausi-
BILE swindle. All there is against him
in Georgia, so far as is known, is the
charge OF carrying concealed weapons.
Stein does not appear to be apprehen-
sive at all. He says that he was tried
for murder and acquitted and that he
has nothing serious to answer for now
He worked at newspapering here in
Atlanta as late as two weeks ago, and
he did good work.
