Gave Out-Was Carried Home by
Friends for Rest-His Condition
Improving Already.

Rev George II. Wiley, who disappeared
several days to his friends, Is safe with
his wife at Cheatwood. Appomattox
county, where her father lives.
AS before related, Mr.. Wiley went frcm
his home at Lynch's. Campbell county.
10 Norfolk. 10 assist Rev. w. c. Leftwich.
of Trinity church. Norfolk. in a revival
service.
Mr.. Wiley a short time since conducted
a successful revival meeting at Trinity
church in Lynchburg. and then held
meetings in the several churches OF which
he has charge in Campbell county.
At the close Of these he received an
invitation to assist Mr. Leftwich in Nor
folk, and though broken down In physl-
cal strength, he felt under obligation 10
Mr.. Leftwich for similar favors. The
strain was more than he could stand.
FORGOT EVERYTHING.
He can give no account OF himself
from the time he left Norfolk Tuesday
morning until he came to his right mind
at the Warwick Hotel Saturday evening.
when he sent for Mr.. Carroll Kent. the
Young Mems Christian Association Sec
retary Of that city. and sought his aid.
sunday morning he arrived at Ford's
Hotel and notified his sister and other
friends OF his presence. DR.. c. W. L.
Brock attended him, and after days
rest he left for Appomattox. I'm com
pany with his cousin. Mr.. ~. T. Paynter,
where he arrived much improved In mind
and body.
Mr. Wiley, though I'm his right mind
when he arrived in Richmond. was ner-
vousy prostrated and showed that he
had suffered much during his strange
wanderngs. He telegraphed Rev. Mr..
Leftwich from Old Point Wednesday.
stating that he would return Thursday.
but signed the message with a strange
name, which Mr. Leftwch took to be
the mistake of the operator. one rea-
son that the inquiries for the Ill minister
We're not more successful was that lac
registered at the Warwick Hotel under
the wrong initials. and probably did the
same thing elsewhere.
SAW HIM IN HAMPTON.
On Friday Secretary Kent, Of the New
port News Young Mems Christian AS
sociation, met Mr.. Wiley on the streets
Of Hampton. He did not know at that
time that the minister was the object Of
so much anxiety on the part Of his Nor
folk friends He did notice, however.
that Mr. Wiley greeted him cooly and
his manner had previously been most
cordial. Mr. Kent was surprised. but
II was all explained next day when Mr..
Wiley came to him and said that he need
ed his assistance. as his mind was giving
away.
Rev. Mr.. Lcftwich was indefatigable
in his Efforts TO find his friend. and came
here Sunday morning still looking for
him. and was delighted to find him safe
and in Ills right mind.
Rev. George II. Wiley is one OF the most
popular and useful preachers In the Nir-
ginia Conference, and the solicitude for
his welfare has been widespread.
Dr Brock says his trouble is the ma
tural result OF overwork and that with
such rest as he will now get his com
plete restoration is an assured fact.
