A WILD LUNATIC ON TRAIN.
Florida state Asylum Guard Has
Lively Time with Crazy Engineer.

Waycross, Ga, May 10.-Mr. A. E.
Graham, from the Florida State San
itarium at Chattahoochee, had an ex-
citing experience last night with an
insane man he was taking to the asy-
lum. The man was H. M. Lanier of
Barlow, Fla. formerly an engineer on
the Plant System, whose mind
gave way two weeks ago. At Sanford
the man became violent and broke
away from the keeper, running for
some distance before he was captured.
On the train later in the night he
had another exciting experience, and
far time there was CONSERVATION
among the passengers.
The guard was sleeping for moment
when the crazy man in some way
slipped the straps that bound him and
pounced on him like a tiger. He kicked
him in the face and fierce scuffie en-
sued. the assistance of four or five men
on the cars being necessary to over
power and bind him.
At Palatka Mr.. Graham took aboard
another unfortunate old man. DR.. B.
M. Pettitt. formerly of New York. He
is 81 years of age. Mr.. Graham came
up to Jacksonville, where he took a
train direct for Chattahoochee.

JUDGE WATTS DENIES.
No Truth in RumOrs of SeabOard Air
Line Changes.

No Truth in RumOrS OF SeaDOur0 AIT
Line Changes.
It is often the case that. following
the announcement of the resignation
Of a railway official, rumor grows
busy regarding further changes. This
was true after the resignation of Gen
eral Passenger Agent r. E. L. Bunch
Of the Seaboard Air Line. 1t was re-
ported that the resignation of First
Vice President ]. NJ. Barr would fol-
low, because he is not in accord with
President John Shelton Williams.
These rumors have undoubtedly
proved very distasteful to the high
officials Of the Seaboard, as Judge I.
r. Watts, of Portsmouth, general
counsel for the road, has given the
following Interview to The Portsmouth
Star:
While, as a rule, I decline to be
interviewed upon matters touching the
management of the Seaboard Air Line
railway. l am rather pleased at the
opportunity of stating. as l do in the
most positive and emphatic manner,
that all reports as to friction or lack
OF harmony between the president and
first vice-president of the Seaboard
AR Line Railway are absolutely false
and without foundation.
The report that certain changes in
the bylaws affecting the duties of
these two officers is equally false, as
Is the statement of differences between
the stockholders and the bondholders
The latter is too absurd to be noticed
Both the president and the first vice
president are in perfect accord, and in

10 nave for the management the
hearty, cordial and loyal cooperation
and support of the officers and en-
ployes
Since the article first appeared in
the Washington Star every effort has
Deen made to ascertain the person or
persons responsible for its publication,
and in this we have been partially sue
eesstul. These inquiries will be pushed
until the guilty parties are ascertained,
ana if employees of the railway they
viii be summarily dealt with"
Then you are of opinion that these
reports have been circulated by some
employe or employees of the road?"
regret to say that the indications
point that way, and the president and
BOARD of directors are determined that
no one shall be retained in the service
OF the company, either as official or
'enploye, who is not willing to give
hearty and loyal support to the man
5agement, as in no other way can the
pest results be obtained and the inter-
eSts of the stockholders subserved and
Promoted"
Was the resignation of General Pas
Senger Agent Bunch in any way con-
hected with the circulation of the re-
ports of which you speak,"
AS Mr.. Bunch is no longer in the
service of the company, 1 think it un-
necessary to discuss the reasons lead
ing to his resignation.
