Suffering from dependency induced
By continued i'll health George Dolphin
Wilson. an aged and highly respected
citizen, living at No. ia Duffy street,
west. placed a pistol in his mouth and
fired a bullet through his brain, at his
home last night, shortly after o'clock.
He died instantly.
The deed was a deliberate and pre-
conceived one the unfortunate man
having procured the pistol and awaited
an opportunity to end his respondent
life. Clad in his night clothes, and
armed with his sons pistol. he arose
from his bed, where he had been lying
in q stupor all day. and walked out on
a back porch which adjoins his sons
room. A few seconds later a shot rang
out on the stiffness of the night.
Mr.. Wheeler Wilson, a son, hurried
10 the scene. only TO find his father
already dead. Death was instanta-
neous. the bullet having passed through
abe roof of the mouth. through the
brain and out of the top of the head.
The deadly weapon lay beside him.
the smoke still coming from the bar
rell.
Mrs Wilson, the wife of the dead
man. had by this time gained the foot
of the stairs, and was preparing to
ascend when she was met by her son.
Mother, mother" he cried, father
has shot himself"
Wife Was HystericnI.
The terrible news too great a shock
for her and she was Immediately over
come. In her hysterical condition she
shrieked so loud as to attract the
neighbors, who having heard the shot,
hurried to the scene. In a few minutes
the house was filled, and many stood
sn the streets.
DR.. Harmon, who lives 3ust around
the corner, was hurriedly summoned,
and reached the side of the old gentle
man within less than five minutes aft
er the fatal shot had been fired. But
it was too late Life was extinct.
Mr.. Wilson left no missive to explain
his rash act. The fact that he had
nothing to worry him except his i'm
paired health, precludes any other the
DRY than that the rash act was I'M
PEELED by desperation induced by a
temporarily diseased mind. He had
never given the slightest premonition
of his intention to take his life, and
his rash act was a great shock to mis-
family.
Too Sick to Work.
Mr.. Wilson arose yesterday morning
at about o'clock as was his custom,
and, with his son, prepared to attend
his daily duties. He was bookkeeper
and general office man for Solomon
Sheftall, with whom he had been con-
nected for more than eighteen years.
He had only the day before, and for
weeks previous, attended his duties
regularly. But he ate no breakfast,
and, turning to his son, told him that
he felt too unwell to go to work, and
asked him to telephone Mr.. Sheftall
He then went to his room. Mrs. Will
son, growing apprehensive, questioned
her husband closely, but he answered
in monosyllables, and the only infor-
nation which she could gain from him
being that he did not feel well. He

livery Wagon Ordered.


livery Wagon Ordered.
Savannah is moving right ahead"
said Mr.. T. A. Bryson to a reporter
yesterday. Il have just ordered for
Mr.. Adler fine auto delivery wagon,
and 1 think that will be about the
first in this section.
ut goes to show that the automo-
biles are being taken seriously into
consideration as practical and useful
means of transportation and the car
rying of freights. The new delivery
wagon will be here very soon, and
am under the impression that it will
be followed by a number of others very
shortly. Other large merchants will
wish to keep up with the procession,
and the demand will begin in that
line"

machines recently ordered by Mr.. Bry-
son arrived Friday, and is now doing

Mr.. Adler, who is waiting for the
first of the auto delivery wagons, has
a fine Morisee, a French machine. A

PROJECTILES TRAVELLED
HALF MILE A SECOND.
Steel Missiles weighing Half a Ton
Hurled Through Air.


The practice with the big guns at
Tybee was concluded yesterday. The
exercises were most interesting. and
had spectators been allowed to wit
ness it, there would doubtless have
been an interested crowd present.
The guns are fred at a heavy ex-
pense to the government, for it takes
many pounds of powder to give the
huge half-ton projectiles the momen-
tum which is requisite for proper re-
suits. In the practice yesterday a
steel projectile, weighing half ton,
was hurled through the air at rate
of nearly half mile a second, to a
distance of four miles.
The aim of the gunners was good,
the exhibition being scarcely less cred
table than that on the day previous,
when it was little short of marvellous.
Nearly all of the shots would have
been hits, had the area between the
pyhamidal targets been filled by a
man of-War.
The practice began at s o'clock. Each
of the three companies fired ten
charges each. Five shots were fired
service charge and projectile being
used. Two sets of targets were used
to expedite the practice, one of these
being under command of Lieut.. Orr
and the other under Lieut. Pease's
command. Capt. Gilmore acted as
fire commander. The Fifth Company
was commanded by Lieut.. Mcbride,
the Fourteenth by Lieut.. WinslOw and
the One Hundred and Sixteenth by
Lieut.. DooTes.
The 4.7-inch rApid-fire gun was also
used, ten shots being fired. Five of
these were excellent, while the others
were very good. The initial velocity of
the 12-inch gun was $3.50 feet per
second, the full service charge being
used to throw a 1,000-pound projectile.
Details from the several companies
worked the guns throughout the fir
ing. They showed the results Of the
careful training and excellent practice
drills they have had. No spectators
except those connected with the serv
ice, and a few invited guests in the mil
itary were permitted to witness the
exhibition, though many along the
shore watched the huge projectiles as
they fell in close proximity to the tar
get. The splash made by the projec-
tile was easily discernible for dis
lance of nearly four miles.
The practice was hurried yesterday,
and two targets pressed into service
that it might be finished before the
monthly inspection, which takes place
tomorrow.
