MIR. WILKINS NOT A VICTIM.
Did Not Come Under Hypnotic In
Huence Which Affected His Son.

Rev. Junius wilkins, the Christian
evangelist, whose son has, during the last
two or three months, been much of
the time under the influence of what
seemed to be hypnotism or mesmerism,
said yesterday that the report that he
had been similarly affected was without
the shadow Of foundation. Others IA
miliar with the facts in the case bore
out this statement. The young man was
under the spell for some time, his
mother was only affected for two or three
days. and then not seriously, and the
well known minister was not at any time
susceptible to the mysterious influence,
the source of which is still unknown.
Rev. Mr.. Wilkins was visited by Dis
patch reporter yesterday at his residence,
near the Masonic Home, and asked about
the rather remarkable experience OF his
son, and whether he had himself been
affected.
No" he replied, 81 am Of too positive
a nature to be influenced by any such
power. My son, Jonnotta, was, however,
greatly affected"
How or by whom young wilkins was
hypnotized is not known. Some two
month"; ago. or more, two young men,
who claimed TO possess thdt power dsh-
ed to be allowed to hypnotic him, but
he refused. Some time afterward ne be-
gan to realize that he was under some
influence against which his will was
powerless, but he did not recognize 1t as
mesmerism until one night, when going
TO his room, the spell was entirety
broken. After that he resisted the in
nuence. the source OF which there was
difficulty in placing. and was not so com
pletely under its control as he had been
before. The strain upon the young
man so wrought upon his nervous system
that his appetite was affected and he
began to lose flesh. After learning what
his trouble was and putting forth efforts
TO resist it, he improved steadily. lie Is
now away from home on a visit to an
uncle Mr. wilkins is a years old ana
was. until recently, employed as steno-
grapher in the office OF Colonel j. X. NC
Intosh. counsel for the Postal Telegraph
Cable Company. He is an intelligent
young man and bears an excellent repu-
tatiOn.
1t is asserted that the family never
associated the noises emanauns
from their barn, where young men and
bovs congregated. with the hypnotic man
ifestations. These were always under
stood. The mystery is how and by whom
the hypnotic influence was exercised.

Church in That City.

Strong Ties between Him and His
Congregation, But He Feels That
Duty Calls Him 10 a Field Offering

Rev. II. c. Garrison will resign the pas
torate of ths Marshall-Street Christian
church tomorrow morning.
Mr. Garrison leaves Richmond early in
October He has already accepted call
to the Christian church Of Danville, Ky.
These facts will be a great surprise to
many Richmond people. and will be the
source of deep regret. Mr.. Garrison has
been pastor of Marshal-Street church
four years and five months. He has made
friends in every section Of the city and
Manchester. and among all denomina-
tions. His own people regret exceeding
~ to give him up. He also expressed to
Dispatch writer yesterday the profound
est sorrow that the time had arrived
when he felt he must leave Richmond.
He said his associations with Richmond
people had been most pleasant. Many at

INDEPENDENT AND REPUBLICANS.
Few Candidates of Either Character.
The Reform League.

Hon. Thomas n. Jones, one of the DEM
ocratic nominees for the House Of Dele
gates from Isle OF Wight county, was at
Murphy's last night. He thinks he Will
win ont in mis- present fight 1t is prob
able the State Committee will be called
upon to decide as 10 whether Mr.. Jones
or Or. Bradshaw is the regular candidate.
The State Committee may have another
such case to pass upon. There are hide
pGndents in several counties. but it is be-
lieved that only two or three counties
have candidates, both of whom claim to
be regular.
The number of Independent candidates
is much smaller than was expected few
weeks ago. The process Of blowing of
steam is about completed. Its ending
finds few Independent candidates in the
field, and fewer Republicans. 1t is not
yet too late for either, but the prospects
are that the number will not greatly in
crease.
Hon. William A. Anderson, OF LeXing-
ton, chairman of the Executive Commit
tee OF the Senatorial Reform League,
spent Thursday night in Richmond, and
left yesterday afternoon for his home.
Mr.. Anderson thinks the fact that in sew
eral counties of the State the people have
expressed at the polls their choice as be-
tween candidates for the United States
Senate. and that in nearly all Of them
the legislative candidates have been in
structed as 10 how they are TO cast their
votes in the caucus, demonstrates that
the league has had a wholesome effect in
Virginia politics. lie says the formation
of the league has given an impetus to the
senatorial reform movement in other
States as is evidenced by many letters
from men politically prominent, endors-
ing the objects OF the league. He said he
could not state whether the league would
continue in existence, as he thought 1t
possible that the next State convention
would declare in favor OF a general sena-
forial primary plan.

The great feature of the British
naval maneuvers which took place
recently was the use of wireless

ships which one feet was to succor or
the other was to capture, according as
either was able, and the friendly fleet.
1t was used successfully oyer distan ce
of 80 miles ard as there happened to be
a dense fog on the day of the maneu-

This was test as nearly practical as
any that could be obtained short of an
actual state of war.
There is much truth in following
from the Portland Telegram: "a man
in the prime of life, well educauted,
well.to-do, we'll connected, with a
young family, is in the Peudleton jail
charged with murder. In a quarrel
consequent upon card game. he shot
and killed another man. Here is a
text for sermon, for several sermons,
but they have been preached many
times. But it is only remarked here
that the gun did it. No gun. probably
no murder There is no excuse for a
man to carry a gun around the town
in which he lives. He doesn't need
it. And it is, or should be. strong
evidence against him. The presump-
tion is that man who carries gun
unlawfully and needlcssly expect to
kill somebody with it.''
