Brunswick, Ga, Feb. 10-An account
recently sent from here in regard to Rev

misfortune in falling in the fire while in
a cataleptic state and having both feet
burned off, and the subsequent amputa-
ton of both legs above the knee He
seemed to be doing well for awhile, but
is now crazy. While in his right mind
Wilson decided some property over to
parties to secure debts and sustenance
for himself the balance of his life. The
chances are that the one supplying him
will make by the trade. Wilson is of the
better class of colored citizens, and his
accident is regretted.

A brutal crime was committed near
brunswick Saturday. By ii Asbury Tel
falr, a respectable negro. 1anitor of the
Baptist church, came near losing his life.
Asbury had charge of some timber lands
for other people and on Friday last de-
tected a negro named Wilson stealing
and warned him to desist. or he would
report him. On Saturday Wilson accost-
ed Telfair in lonely place and pointed
a double-barrel shotgun at him, swapping
It twice, but the gun failed to go off
Wise then took It by the barrels and
the butt end. When he stopped
Telfair was bloody and several bones
In his shoulders and legs were broken.
Surgical attention was called in, but an
operation performed Saturday was not eff
fective in resetting the broken pieces. To-
day Telfairs white friends heard of his
distressing plight, and secured DIR. Craw-

well cared for. His assailant was arrested
to-day and will be prosecuted vigorously

Latimer Talks OF the Situation in

Washington. Feb Ex-senator Ben Till
man is just now enjoying the distinction
Of having a larger list Of correspondents
than any other member Of the Senate
To-day his desk in the Senate chamber
resembled the work bench Of a railway
postal clerk. or a distributing clerk in the
city postonce.
The letters were piled up on his desk
to resemble a miniature fortifcation. be-
hind which sat the junior senator with a
smile of satisfaction playing on his rug
ged face. In his hand he held a letter
opener fashioned after his much talked-of
''pitch-fOrk." the gift of an ingenious sup
porter of his peculiar doctrines His SEN
atorial associates stopped at his desk In
passing to make facetiou comment and
to express profound sympathy for his pri-
vate secretary. who is expected TO make
answer to each correspondent
Senator Tillman appeared to be delight
ed at the attention he was creating. and
had a ready reply for each senator who
visited him. Since the delivery of his re-
markable speech in the Senate he has re-
ceived more than 1000 letters commencing
his utterances and urging him to Keep up
the good work" Many of his correspon-
dents request copies of his speech. and
to crafty the demand he proposes to
throughout the country, where Tillmanism
appears to be popular.
In this connection Representative Lat
liner, also from South Carolina, who is
Senator Tillman's lieutenant and confiden-
tial friend, says that il is useless to con-
tend that Tillman does not represent a
large and growing sentiment in certain
parts of the country, and especially in
his own state. Mr. Latimer is proud of his
leader and glories in the fact that he
introduced the original resolution in
South Carolina condemning President
Cleveland.
Referring to Senator Tillman's influ-
ence in South Carolina, Mr.. Latimer says
IS per cent of the white people of the
Palmetto state sympathize with Senator
Illlman and applaud his recent speech.
He says it is useless to close ones eyes
to the fact that Senator Tillman is a
representative of the ruling classes in
South Carolina, otherwise he would not
be in the Senate to-day. He but empha-
sizes the sentiments that prevail there to
great extent
In the coming contest for the selection
of delegates TO the democratic national
convention, Mr.. Latimer says the follow
ers of Senator Tillman will be placed in
a very uncomfortable position. They do
not wish to be driven out of the democratic
party, nor do they wish to go into the
convention instructed to bolt and join a
free silver party, if the platform should
be constructed on other than a free silver
basis. That is the great question that Is
agitating the leaders of the Tillman fac
ton in the state, and ii will require all
the diplomacy and courage at their COM
mand to meet and dispose of that ques-
ton to the satisfaction of the rank ana
file of South Carolina.

exhilarating influence of the ardent, the
raft hands shall not loose sight of the SUI

down with axes ropes and other rafting
tools, brandishing his walking cane in true
drum major style all the while shouting,
IBIS way, gemmens. Time up. Don't talk
to dem steamboat fellows. Dey can't put
you dere l tell you. Come on, gemmens,
