WiuMsD WMIFE
some queer Hunts for the Red.
handed Murderer.

The reward for Hays White, the
murderer Of Sheriff Beattie, of Crit
tenden county, Arkansaw, has been
increased to $3.50, and a number Of
persons are anxious as to his where
abouts. The belief among the police
here is that he has not crossed the
river, and they content themselves
with scanning his photograph occa-
sionally, and keeping a keen lookout
for him.
Sunday morning a negro woman
rushed into the stationhouse breath
less and informed tho officer in charge
that she could point out White in halt
an hour. Her story was that a
man answering his description
had crawled into her back
yard in Fort Pickering, exhausted
from hunger and fatigue and begged
bread and protection. She had given
it to him, and when about half through
with his meal he had started suddenly
up and taken refuge under the house,
exclaiming that the officers were after
him for killing a man in Arkansas.
Not believing her theory that this
was Hayes White, but unwilling to
risk having him slip, several police
men were summoned, and dividing
themselves into small parties secured
the neighborhood. At last a man was
pulled by the leg from under an out
house, and proved to be an idiot. He
was the hero of the woman's tale, but
did not answer Whites description in
any particular.
Saturday evening last the marshal
Of a neighboring village, accompanied
by two deputies, all armed to the
teeth, numbered into Chief Davis
Office with an innocent looking darby
between them heavily shackled. The
little niger walked with difficulty
under the load of iron, and the tears
seemed ready to start from his eyes at
a moments warning. The officer in
charge produced the description of
White and remarked that it suited
exactly, except the mustache, and he
added in a mysterious whisper, 81 be-
lieve his mustache is false" This was
too much, even for the darky, who
overheard the remark, and could not
repress smile. Whites picture was
produced and it being discovered that
the victim was no more like it than
sixty blocks of stone are like a custom
house, he was released.
While nosing around back alleys
yesterday an inquisitive citizen found
a man asleep IN an old barrel, and,
turning that vessel bottom upward,
sat on it and yelled, "Policel" An Of
fcer finally arrived and assisted him
to bag his game, which was taken to
the stationhouse. Instead of being
red-handed murderer he was an insig-
nifcant chicken thief, named William
Thurston, alias Chicken Bill" When
his pockets were searched a silver
case-knife was brought to light, but
no more dangerous weapon. He was
tried to-day for prowling and sent to
the Island for one hundred days.

THE STATE DEBT.
Preliminary Steps TO Prevent the
Enforcement Ofthe IOO.3Law.

Special to appeal
NASHVILLE, April 25.--It is gener-
ally understood that Markus T~aliafer-
70, 5. A. Champion, N. N. Cox, and
others, have been retained to investi-
gate intothe practicability of resisting
by injunction the relunding of the
bonds at 1908. 1t is reported that
they Were retained by or through VIII
son, backed by the low-tax element.
One of the lawyers, however, asserts
that the matter is ola speculative char
acter, and he accepted the retainer as
he would in any other suit. No def
mite action has yet been taken, and it
does not seem, from decentralization
that the scheme is likely to pan out
very well.

Nashville American 2lth.I
An Edgefeld gentleman and son re-.
turned yesterday from Jones Greek.
He says that he caught bass as fast as
he could throw his hook into that
stream. They would have had a very
pleasant time, but as they were chare-.
ed at the rate of one dollar per hour
Tor the privilege, it grew to be too ex-
pensiye a luxury, especially when it
had taken forty-eight hours over
almost impossible roads to reach the
stream. The roads have been SO bad
ly washed that they had to travel out
Of the way, following o circuitous
route marked by cows heads and
blazes on trees. He was told that-tbe
people who owned the streams intend
to charge for the sport. Other fisher
men report that at some points along
this stream the farmers charge four
cents per pound for all fish caught bv
anglers. They appeared to be chafed
over the passage of the general fish law
at the recent session of the legislature.

ROOmy Jail.

There are only eleven prisoners in
the county Jail at present on account
Of Shelby county, and the criminal
court mill is running extremely slow
on account of the lack Of material.
In former years the Jail was always
filed, and the jailer and his assistants
had all they could do. This was
profitable for the officers Of the court
and the sheriff, but eat up the revenue
Of the county at alarming rates.
Some weeks since for a period of not
more than two days there we're only
four prisoners in the jail, but with that
exception the county prison has never
been so empty as now.
The expenses of the court are now
more than paid by its own revenue,
which speaks louder than a column
of euloguim on the peace aud good
order which prevails in the city and
county.

A Father of Fifteen Daughters
Hung for Murder.

ADBEv1LLE, S. c., April 22.-Abe
Martin, an old c%olored man, was hung
hore to-day at las pm. for the MUIR
der Of his wife. The execution was
private, under the state law. The old
man said he wa fully prepared to go.
He ate a hearty breakfast, and spent
the rest of his time on earth talking
to his ministerial adviser. About
half an hour before the time arrived
for him to leave his cell his fifteen
daughters came to bid him farewell.
The interview was affecting, several
OF the daughters ainting from grief.
The old man confessed to his daugh-
ters that he had murdered his wife.
and gave as an excuse that an evil
spirit had prompted him to commit the
act. This statement he reiterated on
the scaffold. He was a little nervous
when the black cap was drawn over
his face. The hanging was we'll done,
and Martin died easily. The murder
for which he was hung was committed
on the 18th of last July. On that
day some Of Martins neighbors came
in the yard and were borrow struck at
seeing him run across the yard with a
human head covered with blood and
held under his arm. He at once
broke out into loud cries, saying that
somebody had murdered his wife, and
that he had found her head near the
spring. He subsequently made the
absurd statement that a tree had
blown down and crushed his Vife's
head off. An ak was subsequently
found covered with blood and hair
The couple had lived peaceably to-
gether for forty years, and Martin
bore a good character. He was be-
lieVed to be half crazy.

Troubled Tennessee Post Office
Clerks.

Cincinnati Commercials Washington Special
1t was reported to. day that, in order
to reduce the representation Of Tenn
essee in the post-ofice department to
the proper number, fifteen Tennessee
ans viii be dropped from the roll
Of employees lin that department, on
the LIST inst. The Tennessee clerks
were greatly disturbed by these re-
ports, but from the best authority it
can be stated that they are not true.
The excess of Tennessee clerks in that
department is very slight, and if any
are discharged It will be on account Of
ineficiency, and the same rule will be
applied to all clerks.
