A Georgia Convict Whipped Il
Doauh.

John Mathews was a young
white man, sentenced from
Hall County for seven years for bur
glary. Subsequent to his conviction.
which was since January last, his
health gave way, and he was kept in
the Hall County Jail until few
months ago. when he was turned
over to the lessees working the
Marietta and North George Rail
road. From the beginning his con-
duct was good, and no charge was
brought against him until to-day
two weeks ago, when he made an at
tempt to escape. Mathews was work
ing on the road with the rest of the
convlcts, near Background. He had
on convict suit and was shackled
as the rest. About 10o'clock in the
forenoon he suddenly made a break
for freedom, but before he ran far
the guard fired at him. The shot
missed its mark, and Mathews con-
tinued his flight some 800 wards.
when he was captured by the sheriff
OF Overwhelmingly who happened to
meet him, and by whom he was re-
turned to the camp, and turned over
to Mr.. Charles Philips, Jr., one of the
managers of the convicts, in that
lease. Mr.. Phillips proceeded to
punish him by using the strap on
his back. This he did to such an eX-
tent that the convict died, and a
coroner's jury has since said that
Philips threw him upon the
ground, and taking pick-axe drove
one point into the ground beside
Mathews neck, which he placed
under the handle, on which Phillips
placed his foot, thus pinning the
helpless man to the ground. Then
Phillips, with his own hand, laid the
strap on until the flesh parted and
the blood oozed from the ugly
wounds. One application did not
appear to be enough, and for two
days, at stated intervals, the dose
was frequently repeated until Math-
eWs death prevented further cru
city. The cruel treatment was
neised about until it reached the
ears of Gov. Colquitt, who ordered
an investigation, Last Thursday,
DR.. Raines, the penitentairy ply
stefan, accompanied by Mr. Frank
HARRISON, went up to Canton to in
qnire into the death. The coroner of
the county was secured, a jurp en-
paneled, and an inquest held. The
body Of Mathews was taken up and
a thorough investigation had. The
jury returned a verdict that Math-
ews came to his death from heart
disease superinduced by cruel treat
ment. Phillips was not present at
the investigation, and hasmade him.

Trout Fishing.

There aremore orless troutin nearly

ST. Louis, May 4-The Republicans
Little Rock special says: Judge Park
er, of the United States court at Fort
Smith, has rendered decision in the
case of Capt. d. l.. Payne, of Oklahoma
notOricty, declaring that none of the
lands in the Indian Territory are sub
jeet to white settlement, the Indians
holding the prOprietorship thereof alb
solutely and without reserve. The de-
cision is very lengthy, and embraces a
review of all the laws and treaties made
with the Indians from the first oecupa-
ton of the Territory.
WICHITA, Kas., May A private
dispatch was received by Oklahoma
Payne in this city yesterday, announc-
ing an unfavOrable result of his trial
before the United States court at Fort
Smith. The faces of number of men
who had gathered to his headquarters
in response to a call for meeting to-day,
visibly heightened. The meeting was
presided over by Payne. He made a
full statement of his arrest and trial, and
a formal announcement of the result, but
urged the settlers to stand by their or
ganiZation until victory should crown
their efforts.
Payne denied the assertion that the eff
forts to settle the territory were backed
by railroad corporations and said the
charges were unwarfanted. There were
eighty-seven present at the meeting,
many of them from distance and from
other states. Several talks were made,
in which the speakers urged the mem
bers to contribute to Payne's support
and the maintenance of headquarters in
this city.
Resolutions were reported from com.
mittee and adopted, urging Payne to re.
new his efforts toward effecting lodg
ment in the territory. criticising the
place of Payne's trial, and asking for a
change of venue, after which the great
Oklahoma boom collapsed.

A FAMOUS CHURCH.

The semi-centennial of the Vine Street
Congregational Church, Cincinnati, was
celebrated, lately. The historical
address, delivered by the Rev. Dr. c. b.
Boynton, former pastor, described the
part taken by the church in the move
ment for the abolition of slavery. Dur
ing the pastorates of presidents Mahan
and blanchard, the church became con-
spicuous for the peculiar trials and
perils that beset it in what was then a
slavery-ridden border city. One of these
pastors for time did not dare to have it
known where he passed the night.
These pastors and the members of the
church were heroic men and women, as
truely animated by the martyr spirit as
those who have been burned at the stake,
standing firm, and suffering for Christ's
sake, for humanity and the right. In
the autumn of 1916, under the leadership
of Rev. John Rankin, an organization
called the Free Synod was formed in
the building then occupied by the
church. 1t embraced a number of
churches in southeastern Ohio and west
ern Pennsylvania, and it was for years an
important anti-slaverY organization. One
of the most interesting incidents of the
Sundays exercises was the reading of q
letter from the Rev. DIR. Asa Mahan, the
first pastor of the church, now living in
London at the age of elghty-two. "Fifty
years ago." he wrote, 81 delivered my
first discourse before what was then
known as the Sixth Presbyterian Church
of Cincinnati. The text was Rev. xxi.
II. The subject was this: Nothing
hinders the salvation of any individual
but his own will May your church
never cease to represent to the world a
full and free salvation. When 1 ar
rived in Cincinnati / found the acting
members living in the city then, as /
was informed, consisted of some sixteen
individuals. Their place of worship
was an old chapel in the second story of
the old college Hail. corner of Walnut
and Fourth SITS. Ny first audience con-
sisted of not over fifty hearers. MAORI
ty OF whom were seated on benches with
out backs. The following will indicate
the state of feeling in the community: As
our two little daughters-one about
five and the other abut three years of
age-were out upon the sidewalk one
day they were discovered by the child
rem in the streets. Instantly the cry was
raised: See those children; their father
is an Abolitionist, stone them The
stones flew thick and fast about these
little ones, who fed for their lives TO
the shelter of their own home, the
younger, who a few months since went
20 heaven, receiving somewhat severe
injury by fall upon the pavement"

CHARLESTON, s. c., May 5.-In article
4, section II, of the constitution Of the
state of South Carolina, it is distinctly
set forth that sit shall be the duty of the
judges of the supreme and circuit courts
TO file their decisions within sixty days
from the last day of the term of court at
which the causes were heard" Any de-
parture from this provision is clearly a
violation of the constitution. Two and
a half months have elapsed since the
close OF the term of the supreme court
at which the Charleston county election
case was heard, and up to the present
hour, no decision has been rendered
The only question before the tribunal
is whether three INSCRIPTIONS poll
tieians, appointed commissioners to
conduct the election in Charleston
county, shall be allowed to trans
gress law and decency. Contrary
to the wording and spirit of the election
law, these men, of whom one was i'm
ported from Edgefield for the occasion,
threw out seven boxes which contained
flimsy ex parte statements Of the Deme-
cratic strikers, thereby DISTINGUISHING
3,747 Republicans, and giving the coun-
ty to the Democrats. OF course, the
Democratic board of state canyassers
confirmed the action of the commission
ers, and hence the appeal to the supreme
court. With law and justice on the Re
publican side, and fear Of offending
Democratic politicians ON the other, the
judges find it difficult to screw up their
courage to render a decision. Should
they decide against the former

An Incident In a GubernatOrial Contest

From the Washingto Republican


in Iowa Twenty Years Ago.
From the W Washington Republican.
Some twenty years ago, without solic-
Itation on his part, Secretary kirkwood
received the Republican nomination for
governor of the young and growing state
of Iowa. 1t was not very desirable po-
sition. as at that time there were only a
few miles of railroad west of the Missis-
sippi river, and it was expected that he
would make a thorough canvass of the
entire state. EX-United States Senator
A. c. Dodge-and At that time Buchan-
ans minister to Spain-was nominated
by the Democrats as kirkwOod's COM
petitor, and came home with a flourish
of trumpetS" swallow-tail coats and brass
buttons, expecting to grind the peoples
granger between the upper and neither
political milestone into fine powder. Ac-
cOrding TO previous arrangements the
two gentlemen started across the coun-
try in separate conveyances TO the little
city of Washington TO discuss Jointly the
political questions OF the day. Kirk
wood and friend had the advance, and,
nearing the village, discovered in the
bushes by the side of the road four beau
tiful horses hitched before an elegant
carriage. The secretary's friend re-
marked: well, guess they have come

ever, on the other side of the road. n lit
tie further on, was another vehicle, Il
lumber wagon, n hay rack and two yoke
of oxen in charge OF two or three men.
When within speaking distance one
of the men, hailing, inquired:
BE you Sam Kirk wood ~ On recciv-
ing an affirmative answer the OK team
men said they We're a reception commit
| tee and desired Mr.. KirkwOod tn take a
| seat in their Wagon ut once, stating they
| would explain matters on their way TO
town. By advice of his friend MIR.
KirkWOOd took RSeat with the commit
tee, and the driver, putting his butt with
out mercy to the oxen, and at breakneck
speed up hill and do Sn they rode into
town. At the suburbs they were met by
a procession headed with martial music,
and were conducted in fine style around
the square, fetching up at the speakers
stand. The parade being something
new in those days, all the boys and most
of the men of every political faith join
ed in the procession, and as cheer after
cheer went up for KirkwOod as he rode
in the humble carriage of the yeomanry
of that day things were carried by storm,
so when Gen. Dodge arrived, drawn by
four-in-hand, in style and splendor, the
people simply stood on the sidewalk and
looked bewildered. During the delivery
of the speeches it was evident the mass
es were in sympathy with Kirkwood,
and the vote in the fall showed for the
first time good round Republican ma
jority in Washington county. The Tea-
son that KirkwOod was driven TO town
in homely Ox-wagOn was that the Dem
ocrats had stolen a march on the Repub-
licans by securing the only respectable
carriage in the city for their man, and it
was only left for the Republicans to do
the next best thing, to make it as ludic-
rous as possible, and it proved a good
hit"
