that road, to accept the position of
commercial agent of the New Orleans
& Great Northern railroad, and will
leave in a few days for Jackson, Miss,
where he will make headquarters.
Mr.. Wilson has, during his stay in
Hattiesburg, enjoyed the reputation of
an active and capable railroad man.

many friends for himself and the com
pany he has served with great fidelity.

railroad reaching from Jackson to New
Orleans, traverses a country rich in
present and prosperous possibilities
and its traffic is constantly enlarging
as its territory develops. This fact
together with an appreciable increase
in salary and wider field OF service

leave the service Of the company
where he has received much valuaol'
experience and where his association
have been altogether agreeable.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Wnso
will regret to see them leave Hattie'

the priest who confessed that he kill
ed Anna Aumuller with a butcher
knife "as sacrifice to be consummat-
ed in blood" was in the observation
ward of the Tombs prison last night
under the watchful eye of DR.. Nc
CURE, the prison physician. Warden
Fallon of the Tombs declares the man
is insane-one of the most dangerous
men ever confined in the prison, and
in this view he was upheld by Deputy
Commissioner of Correction Wright.
Although the young priest in an in
terview with his attorney, Alphonse
]. Koelble, in the Tombs, emphatically
denied that there was any trace of in
sanity about him, the impression of
those who have observed his actions
and listened to his conversation since
his arrest yesterday morning, is that
he is without doubt insane.
Il shall move to have Schmidt's
case brought to trial at the earliest
moment possible said Mr.. Koelble.
'If then think that he is insane,
shall ask for a commission to de-
termine his mental status. If | think
he is sane I will tell him to pay the
penalty.
When saw him, he said: 81 do not
need your services. Lets don't talk
about that now. Let's wait until God
and Abraham have spoken. God ant
Abraham will talk to you and tell yor
when to come to me. Don't do any
