Exciting Chase and Capture of a Negro
Burglar.

Exciting Chase and Capture of Negro
Fort GAINES, Ca, June ia no.
torious burglar has died in jail here,
after a most exciting chase and capt
ure. kilograms had been received from
various points asking for the arrest of
burglar, who was fully described, and
whose name was George Edwards. The
officers noticed a strange negro, who ran as
soon as they approached him. The chase
was joined in by a dozen citizens, and for
three miles the burglar ran with the speed
of professional runner, under shower of
bullets. Turning an angle, which hid him
for moment from his pursuers, he climbed
a tree which overhung the river bank
His refuge was observed, however and the
tree was surrounded. To come down on
land was to fall into the hands Of the Off
GERS which he had determined not to do.
Climbing out on a limb which reached out
over the water, and over twenty-five feet
above it, he sprang into the river, and was
swimming rapidly to the other side when a
well directed shot rendered him nerveless.
He was brought to land and lodged in Jail,
where he died. The coroner's investigation
decided that the cause of death was net the
bullet which had struck him, but was the
result of the Jump from the tree into the
water

Softer, King OF Egypt, the citizens repulsed
their enemies. To express their gratitude
to their noble friends, and to their tutelary
deity, they erected brazen statue to
Apollo. Chares of Indus, the pupil of Ly-
sippus, commenced the work, but having
expended the whole amount entrusted to
him before it was half completed he COM
mitted suicide, and it was finished by
Laches. The statue was 1O5 feet high and
hollow, with a winding staircase that as,
cended to the head. After standing fifty-six
years it was overthrow by an earthquake
in 224 B. c., and lay nine centuries on the
ground, and then was sold to Jew by the
Saracens, who had captured Rhodes after
the middle of the seventh century. It is
said to have required 900 camels to remove
the metal, and from this statement it has
been calculated that it's weightwas 72O, 900
pounds.
1t will probably be year before the
statue will be ready for unveiling. Upon it's
completion the statue will be of a bright
gold-like color, such as that of new penny.
The metal is pure copper, and not bronze,
SO that it will have strong reddish, in
stead of a yellowish tinge. The elements
will, however, in a year or two, cause the

INDIAN POLITICS,
Indications of Hot Campaign In Indian

Indications of Hot Campaign In Indian
Territory.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, June 19.-Ad-
vices from Indian Territory Indicate
that Cherokee politics is now at fever
heat. The recent convention of the
Union party of the Delaware District
adopted the following platform, upon
which lively campaign is being made:
We believe in a government Of the peo-
pie, and by the people, in opposition to
rings and syndicates; favor an honest and
economical administration Of our govern
ment, and that honesty and competency
should be the only tests in filling positions
OF public trust; oppose the employment of
Phillips as resident agent at Washington on
account OF his practices; favor the pro-
lection Of our rights to the soil a S guaranteed
to US by patent from the United States by
the removal of all boomers, squatters and
intruders who are here without authority
OF law by the United States agent; favor the
removal OF John L. Tufts, United States
agent, because he has utterly and completely
failed to protect our rights to the soil by
refusing to remove intruders, though re
peatedly asked to do so by the petitions of
our best citizens; oppose the sale of our
lands west OF the ninety -sixth meridian at
At cents per acre, because said price was
arbitrarily set on said lands by the
President without authority and sanction
of law or treaty on our part; favor an eff
fort on our part to obtain a revocation of
the illegal sale of those lands entire, and in
the event of failure in this we ask for
revaIuation of all these lands at a mini
mum price of not less than $1.25 per acre;
oppose leasing out our lands west of the
ninety sixth meridian to cattle syndicates,
and favor the present permit law and OPP
DOseu to it's repeal.

THE GALLONS.
AAoouIioh OF Father and Son at Par
lnerRYilIR. La

Execution of Father and Son at Par
mersville, La.
PARMERsvILLE, La, June
and William Melton, father and son,
were hanged in the jail enclosure here
to-day, Tor the murder of John w.
Cherry, an old farmer, at his home in
the northern part of this (Union) par
ish. \--i' p'0-
The crime for which the Meltons were
executed was committed April Is 1884
The two murderers were neighbors Of their
rlctim' out PAD blood existed between the
families, caused by the Meltons' ieaIousv of
Cherry superior social and financial mo-
sition. The two families had freouen+
quarrels, but hostilities were DELAYED nv
old man Cherrys peaceful disposition. On
the morning of the murder the Me1tons
were passing Cherry's farm, and saw the
old man working in his field. The elder
Melton called out to him that now was a
good time to settle scores, and the two adj
vanced on Cherry who retreated and warned
them off. Finally Cherry was compelled to
use his revolver, wounding the elder Mel
ton III the arm. His antagonists then
closed IN upon him, and attacked him
with hoes. Cherry turned and ran towards
his residence, calling to his wife to bring
out the shot gun. William Melton headed
him off and got to the house first, Just as
Mrs. Cherry stepped out of the door with
the gun. Melton felled her with a hand
spike that he had found in the yard, and
seized the gun. Meantime, Perry Melton
came up and held Cherry until William
knocked him down by dozen blows on the
head. Cherry begged for his life, but Will.
lam beat him with the hand-spike until the
old mans head was pounded to a Jelly.
Mrs. Cherry, who had regained her senses,
took her dying husbands head in her lap,
but was brutally thrust aside Cherry
ton thereupon told Perry to finish him.
He did SO by crushing his skull. The Mel
tons hid in the neighborhood for several
weeks, finally escaping to Texas, where
they were captured.

heard on every side. All the way up
the harbor, until the head of the pro-
cession had arrived off Bedford's ISL
and, the shores of New Jersey and
Long Island resounded with the crash
of guns. 1t seemed like battle at sea
without the disastrous attendant cir
cumstances.
When the anchor of the Isere was at
length lowered and had obtained
firm grip there was more firing of can
non, blowing Of whistles and shouting
of people. Bedloe's Island was crowd
ed with spectators. Men had climbed
up to the top of the pedestal and seat
ed themselves on the huge stones. The
Atlantic, after a parting cheer to the
officers of the Isere, proceeded on the
way to the battery, and the party
went ashore.
Over two hours after the reverbera-
tions of the last gun had been heard
from Castle William, the boat bearing
the members of the American commit
tee and their guests, the officers of the
French navy, landed at the Battery.
The mayor, aldermen, Gen. Shaler and
staff, the police commissioners and
other civic dignitaries were in waiting,
and as Admiral Lacombe stepped on
shore, the mayor grasped him
warmly by the hand. Carriages
were in waiting on the plaza,
and were occupied, the first by
Mayor Grace, Rear Admiral Lacombe,
Gen. Shaler and Fred K R. Condert;
the second by President Sanger, of the
Board of Aldermen, the commander
of the Isere, Brig. Gen. Ward, and SEN
ator Evarts. In other carriages were
different city officials, and the officers
Of the La Flore and Isere, and mem
bers of the division and brigade stats.
1t was nearly o'clock when the
procession moved. The line of march
lay through Whitehall Street to Broad
way, to the City Hall, and the route
was lined with spectators.
At the City Hall the guests were
given q banquet, and afterwards
speeches were made by Mayor Grace.
President Sanger and Frederick R.
COndert.

The above picture shows how the Statue
of Liberty will appear when placed in po-
sition. 1t will be the tallest statue in the
world. The monument at London, the
next loftiest isolated column, is but 2O2

was 200 feet high. The "Germania" statue,
on the Neiderwald, is only Ito feet high.
That of Bavaria, at Munich, is 61A feet,
with pedestal of 18A feet. The statue OF
ST. Charles Borromeo, at Arano, near the

at Alexandria, is la feet high. 1t former
ly held a statue on it's capital, of which on
ly one foot and an ankle are left. The most
celebrated colossus of ancient and modern
times previous to the statue of Liberty,
was the Colossus of Rhodes. The city had
been besieged by Demetrius Poiorcetes,
King of Macedon, but assisted by Ptolemy
