WAS A FORMER sAvANNAHIAN.
Miss Adelaide Wilson a Daughter OF
the I,afe A. N. Wilson.

The Miss Adelaide Wilson, whose
strange conduct in connection with her
attempt to secure place in the Congress
sional Library in Washington was report
ed in the dispatches in yesterdays Morn
ing News, is well known in Savannah.
Miss Wilson is the daughter of the late
A. N. Wilson, ex-postmaster here. Mr..
Wilson was also deputy revenue collec-
tor here for some time before he was
postmaster. He was afterward principal
of one of the public schools in Atlanta
and died there
Miss Wilson resided here with her faith
er and afterward went with him to At
lanta. She attained some note as the au-
thor of Historic and Picturesque Savan-
nah' which was illustrated by her
friend, Miss Weymouth. The publication
possessed some merit and attracted fav-
orable attention. Recently Miss Wilson
presented the Georgia Historical Society
with 100 copies of her book for distribu-
ton to the various societies and libraries
throughout the country. Miss Wilson
bore an excellent reputation and has
number of friends and acquaintance in
Savannah, who regret to hear of her APP
parentiy strange conduct.
Recently Miss Wilson wrote several let
tiers to friends here in the effort 60 ar
range for an address before the Georgia
Historical Society by Miss Susan B. An
thony, the celebrated womans rights adj
vocate. She was given little encourage
ment in this, but, somewhat to the sur
prise of her correspondents she replied to
their letters, expressing her pleasure at
their approval of the move and the en-
enlargement given her in the matter. In
her letters she mentioned the fact that
she was an applicant for a position in
the Congressional Library, and that she
was finding it very difficult to attain her
object.
From this it is evident that the Miss
Wilson, who is reported to have made
offers to the congressman to buy the place
which she desired and to have endeav-
ored to forcefuIly press her claims upon
Senator Clay,is the same Miss Wilson who
formerly resided in Savannah. Miss Will
sons friends here fear that her mind
has become temporarily unbalanced.

PLAINTIFF LOST HIS SUIT.
Judge Norwood Granted Nom Suit i'm
Case Against Hugh Logan.

After the Introduction of the evidence
for the plaintiff in the damage suit of
John Jerkshatt, against Hugh Logan, on
trial in the City Court yesterday, the at
torneys for the defendant made a motion
for non suit, and, after argument, this
was declared by the court.
The plaintiff sued the defendant for
damages for the loss of the fingers of his
right hand, which were mangled by a
sausage machine, belonging to the defend
ant, which he was operating at the time
of the accident, and while he was in Mr..
Logans employment.
The plaintiff claimed that the dangerous
nature of the machine should have been
explained to him by his employer, and
that the failure to give this explanation
resulted in the accident in which he lost
his fingers, and justified his claim for
damages. Judge Norwood agreed with
the contentious of the defendant that the
damage was plain and obvious and that
the plaintiff should have used his own
faculties to protect himself. Hence he
awarded the non suit. The plaintiff was
represented by Mr.. w. M. Hayward and
the defendants by Messrs. Osborne "
Lawrence. tstI
