ABOUT FIVE O'CLOCK LAST EV-
ENING WHILE GOING HOME
OLD MAN BECAME DAzED
And Turned in South A Street
Police and Citizens Are Search
ing for Him.

John D. Wiggins, one of the best
! know citizens of Richmond, disap.
peared about 5 O'Clock last evening
and at a late hour had not been
!. found. Mr.. Wiggins is about eighty
years old and in very feeble con-
dition. He is very hard of hearing
and nearly totally blind. About
4:30 yesterday, afternoon he was put
on Il car at Fairview and started
for his home When the car reached
Fifth and Main streets he got off
A colored man who noticed his ac-
tions and thinking that something
was wrong asked the old gentleman
where he wanted to 90 Mr.. Wig
gins told him where he lived. The
colored man hailed the next street
car and told the conductor to let
Mr.. Wiggins off lit Fifteenth and
Main streets, as Mr.. Wiggins lives
at $50 South Fifteenth The con-
ductor did as he was asked and let
Mr.. Wiggins off at Fifteenth street.
The old gentleman walked south in
Fifteenth and west in "A street. The
last seen of him he was at Twelfth
and South a streets going west In A
street. Last evening Patrolman SUIT
ton led a crowd Of searchers- nrongh
I AReeveston woods and through a
number of the commons In the terri
Tory Of \ street. but nothing could
be found of Mr.. Virgins. The 9TH
er patrolmen throughout the city
were also instructed to keep vigilant
lookout for Mr.. Virgins, but they
were unable to find him. It is pecu-
liar that Mr. Wiegins should get
lost, as there is not a man in the
city who is better acquainted with
the streets than is Mr.. Wiggins.
For years he was connected with
the City Health Board and his work
took him over the entire city. He
has been in bad health for some
few months and at times he appear
ed to be in a dazed condition An
example of this was shown yester-
day, when he was at the corner of
Fifth and Main streets, as he point
ed to one of the buildings on that
Former and asked what building that
was. He seemed to have no idea of
where he was.

WILL BE ABLE TO PAY IN FULL.

Not many months ago-in Septem-
her. 19O3-the business and banking
world was shocked at the announce
ment that the banking houses of j..
William Middledorf & Co., of Balti-
more, and John L. Williams q Sons,
of Richmond. were embarrassed and
could not meet their obligations. These
two banking houses owed their en-
barrassment chiefly to their owner
ship or $4,000 shares of Seaboard
Air Line stock. They had been financ-
ing the affairs of that system, in the
face of many difficulties, but the time,
came when it was not possible for
them to continue to do so. Their
creditors gave them time to dispose
of their securities Since then they
have paid seventy per cent of their
obligations, amounting to eleven mil
lion dollars. and now it is announced
they will shortly meet all obligations
and that both these great financial in
situations will be fully rehabilitated.
This is good news, not only for the
honorable men who have re-establish-
ed themselves, but for the South as
well. They became involved by the
large ownership of stocks in South
ern development companies In Sep
TENDER, 1903, the prices OF these stocks
went down very low. Since then faith
in them and in all Southern bust
ness and in Southern railroad condi-
The whole country Will applaud the
integrity and business Judgment dis
played by the Messrs. Middledorf and
Williams. Such bankers, who pre-
serve their high character and ability
lin times of peculiar stress, are an
honor TO calling that embraces many
of the most trusted and useful men
in America.

THE DUTY OF \ PRESIDENT.

The duty OF a man elected TO be
Chief Magistrate of this great Repub-
lie is SO grave as TO lift the right sort
Of man out of partisan politics into a
higher craftsmanship than a heated
campaigner can be expected to de-
velop. The demands of politicians
tend to pull him away from his higher
duty and unless he resolutely looks
beyond those near to him, who want
something, to the many who can never
know him and who wish nothing for
themselves, desiring only such meas
fare, he will not measure ur to the
great trust reposed in him.
In {, brief speech during his visit to
the ST. Louis Exposition, President
Roosevelt happily stated the feeling
that should possess and guide the
Chief Executive. He said:
Gentlemen, was reading the other
day a speech made by Abraham Lin
coin couple CT days after he was re-
elected to the presidency, and 1 cannot
quote it fully, but it ran so!newhat like
this:

fit to continue ME in office, but it does
not add to my satisfaction that any
one else is panied by the result
9TH ose we're the words of f.iyscoln
in 1864, AMI I feel that any man who
oven tries to be fit to be president of
the United States should approach mis-
duties in that spirit; that any man
worthy of serving the people, nC5
merely III that position, but in any po-
sition of weight in public life, should
have that sense OF elation that any
thing personal in his triumph does not
lessen the seEse of infinite respon 81
billy thereby cast upon him, and the
weight of duty he owes to ali his fell
low citizens. and he should realize
that whatever the differences amcng
our people before election, once the
election has taken place, the preSi-
dent is the president of all the peo-
pie of every section socially, OF every

the language of Abraham Lincoln
With malice toward none, with CHAR
ity toward all seeking after

to strive so to conduct himself toward

MURDERER GOES INSANE.
Haunted by the Vision of the Man lie

Especial to News and observer.)


Asheville, n. c., Nov. 29.-Sandy
Garden, an old man from the norm
ern section of Buncombe county was
brought to Asheville last night ana
placed in Jail, Il raving maniac.
Garden, it is said has gone insane
over visions of a man whom he Slow
many years ago. Garden killed a
man named Sheppard IN Yancey
county some 80 or 3 years ago. was
arrested, tried and acquitted. the plea
of the defense being self-dafenSe. The
crime and the features of the case
have about passed from the recolleC-
ton of those of that day. but to ihe
slayer it was not so. The visions or
the murdered man and the continual
thought of having taken a human life
have SO preyed upon Garden that the
strain was too great and he has gone
hopelessly insane.
At the Jail Garden is in a cell to
himself and though at times he is
apparently sane, these periods last nut
a few moments and he is again a
lunatic devoid Of reason. He talks Of
the murder necessarily and prays for
forgiveness of the crime. declaring that
ne can see the inha bitants of the
lower regions, and the image Of the
man whom he killed. Every little
while he will cry out that he can see
Sheppard: that the man is coming az
ter him, and that he can see ghosts
all the time.
Garden first showed signs of losing
his mind about months ago. a~d
since that time he has been gradually
growing worse. 1t is probable that he
will be committed to the asylum at
Goldsboro.

A NOBLE MINISTER.

The Salisbury Sun notes that Rev.
Jethro Rumple has closed his forty
fourth consecutive year as pastor of
the Presbyterian church al Salisbury
"a record rarely paralleled. Writing
of his long pastorate, the Salisbury
Sun says:
'Were any one hundred residents
approached at random and asked
to name the best loved citizen of
Salisbury the first name that would
inStinctively come to mind would
be DR.. Rumple.' Measured by endur-
ing results the works of this good man
are inestimable. No narrow sectarian-
ism has dwarfed his ministry. His
benevolence has not been bounded by
church nor by class. All alike have
been objects of his solicitude and his
temporal reward is found in the love
of a whole city. Still vigorous in mind
and body for one of his years, he will
continue to serve, as pastor, the peo-
pie who have become to him as a
family. May the Master to whose
cause he has given half century
of devoted service prolong his days
upon the earth.
1t is too often the case that people
wait for a noble minister like Dr.
Rumple to die before they find out
themselves how much he has done for
the character building of the town.
The Sun sets good example by APP
preciating the work done by this ven
cradle and learned man of God, and
giving fitting expression to it while
he yet lives. 1t must be grateful to
this noble minister to know that his
life and labors have won the first
place in the hearts of the people of
his TOWN
