WHITE MAN
is INSANE
HE WAS ON. THE MALLORY
WHARF YESTERDAY ACTING
RANGELY AND is PLAC-
ED IN JAIL.

W. c. Wall, a white man employed
by the Atlantic Coast Line on their
dredge, was placed in the city Jail
yesterday by the Mallory Line police,
man. wno said that the man was com,
pletely out of his mind
Wall was on the Mallory wharf and
acted rather queer. He very suddenly
began to assist the negroes in hand
ling some timber and then began to
place crossties across the railroad
track. The people at first did not
know what to think of his action The
officer finally arrived at the conclu-
sion that he was crazy and took nim
to the Jail
The man talked very silly, and said
That he owned several railroads in the
west and was off on his vacation.
Wall came to Brunswick some time
ago from South Carolina and has been
working on the large dredge. Those
acquainted with him say he has never
before acted in sucn a manner and do
not understand his condition.
He was kept in jail all night, and
today will be taken to Waycross by
the A. c. L. and placed in the railroad
hospital there.
During mis- residence here he mas
been boarding at Thorntons, on Bay
street, and the boarders also say he
has never shown any signs Of being
crazy before, and are at loss to un-
deTstand his action yesterday.

BIG DAY WITH THE
ATTORNEYS.
TWENTY-SK WIRE FILED
Am5ng Them Are Several Suits
Against the Different Railroads
and one or Two Divorce Cases
To Be Tried Next Month.

yesterday was returns day in the
superior court, and it was probably
the busiest day that Clerk du Bgnon
mas witnessed since he has been clerk
of the Glynn superior court.
During the day just twenty-six cases
were filed to be tried during the ses-
sion OF the superior court next month.
Among these are some very impor-
taAt ones, and also one or two divorce
cases.
Owing to- the fact that the lawyers
were late in filing a majority of them,
il is impossible for the News to print
them this. morning, but tomorrow we
viii publish the entire docket for the
December term Of the court.
However there was no case filed on
any great Importance, Several suits
were entered against the different
railroads, ranging from $25 to several
thousand dollars.

INSANITY JEALOUS,
he SEEKS OTHER PARTS
SOUTHERN RAILWAY AGENT AT
GRAHAM MYsTERloUSLY
DISAPPEARS.

InformatioSSswas received in this
city yesterday of a tragedy at GRAHAM
on the Southern railway, some sixty
miles from Brunswick, which in
manner snould appeal to human ma
ture generally.
II seems that Arch Bennett was
agent of the Southern at that point.
About five months ago he welded a
Miss Graham daughter of the well
known mail agent wac has been in
Brunswick on his regular trips for
many years.
II appears that Mr. Bennett was ia
sanely jealous of his wife, and at
tributed many small errors Of omis-
sion which were not chargeable to
her From information received here
yesterday it appears that Mr.. Bennett
becoming desperate, left his home and
sought other pastures more agreeable
than those in which be had resided
In other words it seems that Ben
nett. without warning, left his home
and his wife and took to the woods,
leaving behind him no explanation of
mis- deed
Mr.. Bennett was agent of the
Southern railway at Graham and also
represented the Southern Express
Company. He is well known in Bruins
wick, and passengers on incoming
trains yesterday reported he was hid
ing in this city.
The whole affair seems to be a
mystery but in justice to the fugitive,
III sucn he be, II can be said that his
accounts were examined by travelling
auditors Of the Southern yesterday
lad Nwere pronounced correct.
Mr.. Bennett has aften visited Bruins
wick and has many friends here who
will regret to near Of this unfortunate
circumstance.

EIGHT FREIGHT CARS DERAlLED
AND CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE
WAS THE RESULT.
TRAINS COME THROUGH HERE
All Passenger and Freight Trains Yes
terday Were Compelled to Come
to Brunswick and Take the 3.
G. 3. Track to Thalmann.

The wreck on the Seaboard Air
Line. which occurred between Everett
and Thalmann Monday afternoon, an
account of which appeared in these
columns yesterday proved to be quite
a serious one, and, as a result. all
trains over that line yesterday We're
unable to use their track, tne wreck
not having been cleared away.
For the first time since the road
was built, Seaboard freight and pas
senger trains came into Brunswick
yesterday. This was done owing to
the fact that it was impossible for the
trains to pass the wreck and they
came as far as Everett, then took the
Southern track to Brunswick, going
out on the B. & b. to Thalmann where
they again took their own track and
continued to Jacksonville. The trains
We're all well crowded with passen-
gers and the coming of these trains
on the Seaboard made things quite
lively in railroad circles.
A force of hands were hard at work
all day yesterday clearing away the
wreck, but up to late hour last night
they aad not succeeded in repairing
il so that the trains could pass, and it
is probable that they will commune to
come through Brunswick today.
From reports it seems that the
wreck was a serious one, and ii is a
miracle that no one was injured
Eight freight cars were piled upon
each other, many Of them being badly
damaged. These cars did not go
through trestle, as was stated yes
terday. but jumped the track few
yards from the trestle.
The B. & B. people are aoing every
thing possible to assist the Seaboard
and their track between mere and
is accommodating a large
OF trains The heavy freignts
pass over it at rapid rate and the
crews say it is well laid and very
substantial.

AT 3:45 O'CLOCK YESTERDAY AF.
TERNOoN JURY RETURNED A
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.
A SAD SCENE FOLLOWED
The Prisoner Wept Like a Child,
While the Father Thanked God
That His Son Had Been Com
pIetely indicated

New York, November 11.-At 3:45
O'Clock this afternoon the jury in the
Molneux case returned a verdict of
not guilty.
The jury had been out for only
minute, but had to wait a half hour
for the judge to return to the court.
The most remarkable scene follow
ed the reading of the verdict that mas
ever been witnessed in New York.
Molineux wept like a child while the
ccrowd in the court room shook his
hand and congratulated him on peing
cleared of the charge, of which he mas
always claimed his innocence. His
father was in the court room and when
the verdict OF the jury was announc-
ed by the judge he was quickly on his
feet and shouted Thank God,
knew my boy would be exnonerated."
Grasping his sen by the hand. he
Kissed him. and then placed his arm
around his waist and they proceeded
down stairs.
A large crowd followed them to the
street, where they took a carriage
and proceeded to their old home in
Brooklyn.
There another imposing scene was
witnessed. The mans mother and
wife rushed up tol him and the three
wept for several minutes. He then
went into the house and the family
talked over the case
All along the way nome Molineux
was given an ovation and was cheer
ed by crowds who mad ga,nered along
the streets. A special force OF police
were ordered out to keep back the
crowd.
This has ben the greatest case tried
in New York in many years and mad
attracted attention all over the coun-
try. The case was called for trial
once before and sentence passed, but
new trial was secured by attorneys
for the defence.
When the jury retired this after
noon it was the general opinion of ev-
erybody in the court house that a YER
dict of not guilty would be returned,
but no one expected to see the jury re-
turn with 1t IN less than a minute.

Narrow Escape.

What might have. resulted in the
destruction of thousands of dollars
worth of property, Sunday, was
ayerted as near as we could ascer-
tain. simply by good luck. Freight
train No. 81 on the B. & o, west
bound, pulled by engine No. 100,
was making a run for the bridge
across the Kanawha, and while the
heavy train was crossing the tres
tie back of the old graveyard, the
air-brake on the cars got out of or
der, and thus rendered the rear of
the long string of cars unmanage-
able.
The entire train was badly shaken
up, and running at the speed it
was. it is aSmiracle that a disas-
trous wreck did not occur. After
all connections were made, a Sec
ond run for the bridge was made,
which met with no accident.

Breath Through Your Nose

Breath Through Your Nose.
In all kinds of atmosphere the
breath should only be inhaled
through the nose. An occasional
breath of extra pure air through
the mouth may be good; but in cars
and most offices and rooms nose
breathing is essential.
A second rule is, since SO much
time is spent in cars and offices
and rooms in earning livelihood
and since these places are over
hested and underyentilated-the
heating and ventilation being out
of the control of most of us
We must take in fresh air whenever
possible, in order that we might
restore the balance. The best
times to do this will be early in the
morning, when the air is freshest,
and late at night. when deep
breathing will help us to get sleep.
We may breath correctly while we
are waiting in the street, and especi-
ally where streets meet. We can
soon form an atomatic habit of
breathing properly on such occa-
sions,
