A MYSTERIOUS CASE
MAN sUCCUMns TO PISTOL AND
 KNIFE WOUNDS.
Claimed He Had OnIy Bflious Collie and Real Secret Leaked Out Only
 After His Death

Florence. Feb. 2s.--(Speciai. )--After suffering twelve days with two pistol and four knife wounds. while pretend ing that he had bilious collie. a well dressed white man. giving his name as Wilkinson and his home as Giles Coun- ty Tennessee died at the home of John Chriesenbury just across the Tennessee River in Lawrence County Ala. to- day.
 Two weeks ago the man left the train at Town Creek and hired A buggy to take him as far as the river on his way to Centre Star this (Lauderdalel County. Arriving at the McDonald place just at dusk he asked Mir. Chris senbury to ferry him across the river. Before Mir. Chrissenbury could make his preparations to do so the stranger was taken so III that he was put to bed and a physician summoned. He complained of pains in his head and bowels and was given the usual ren1e- dies in such cases.
 The physician visited him several times during the twelve days of his illness but 1t was not until after hfs death when the body was being pre- pared for burial that the two pistol wounds in the back and the four ghast- ly knife wounds the real cause of his death were discovered. How he had come from Decatur. as he said or whatever place he received his wounds, in ssch a condition. Is a wonder and the fact that he preferred death to the explanation he would have been called upon to give, indicates that some deep mystery surrounds the case.
 Shortly before his death the man stated that he had a nephew in old Decatur. who was in charge of the city prison. and a daughter in Meb. Ark. He told Mir Chrissenbury that some money would be sent him to Centre Star, but did not say from whom. Af- ter his death 416 was found in his pockets. which was used to pay his board and doctors bills and the re- mains were buried blythe county on the McDonald place beside the Tennessee River.
 Mayor Etherfdge of Town Creek. who gave the above facts to your corre- spondent over long distance telephone, stated that no inquiries regarding the dead man have been received from any quarter. and though 1t has been four teen to sixteen days since he received his wounds, nothing calculated to throw any light on the mystery has developed. He did not state what the nature of the business was that took him to Gen. Ire Star. He was six feet four inches tall, and appeared to De about IS years old.

A StimuIant for the Old.

writing for my father, would say that he is now approaching his eighty second year, but owing to loss of sight Is not able to go out much and get his accustomed, exercise, which he has had for years He has never been in the habit of using stimulants in any way. but finding that he required something of the kind. has tried several. and pre- fers Duffy's Malt whiskey to any other. He takes small dose every day, with an equal quantity of water. as the strength is sufficient. and considers that he has been much benefited by its use As for myself, never use stimu- lants of any kind. but heartily approve of your manufacture. as it has been so beneficial to my father."--GEO.

 J. D. Buckalew of Washington, D. C.. Third vfce-President of the 1nterna- tiona1 Association Of Machinists. arr rived in Montgomery yesterday, and at the union hall today will hold meet Ing of the various railroad unions in Montgomery. The object of the meet ing is to take up and discuss the mat ter of the proposed reduction in wages on the Louisville and Nashville and Att lafftic Coast Line. The following reso- lutions will be introduced:
 Resolved, That the body of railroad employees herein assembled go on rec ord as being opposed to any reduction In wages. and that each trade herein represented is requested to- inform it's grand lodge officers of such action
 Resolved That this body cheerfully endorses tEfe action of our courageous President of these United States in or daring the Chairman Of the Interstate Commerce Commission to investigate the action of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad ip their desire to cut the wages of their employees"
 Mir. Buckalew has been in charge of the machinists strike on the Louisville and Nashville. which went into effect last May. One of the causes of the strike was a demand by the machin- tsts that the Louisville and Nashville recognize the Machinfsts Union. This the L. and N refused to do as the poll icy of the road has always been not to recognize any union organization on the system with the exception of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. So last May the Machinists' Union or- dered a strike on the Louisville and Nashville system. Since then both sides have stood pat, the Louisville and Nashville and the Machinists Union both adhering to their original ideas
