MADISON, May 2l.-In the municipal
court yesterday Mrs. Rebecca Merraot,
OF Baraboo, and Mrs. Margaret NJ. Coo
ley, of Mitchell, Dakota, sisters, pleaded
guilty to the charge of perjury. They
have now each been sentenced to two
years In tho state prison. Each woman
when sentenced had an infant in her
arms. Kneeling at the feet OF tho judge
they piteously pleaded tor mercy
for their babies sakes. The
scene was a heartrendug one. Judge
Drawley, with tears in his eyes, said
the law was memorable, but he would
fix the lowest penalty prescribed
| The women then prayed and
sobbed and uttered terrible shrieks as
they were finally removed by officers
They said the man named Kirby had
threatened their lives If they did moi
swear as they did, and that they had fol-
| years lived in mortal terror of him
Both are respectable women, of gooC

them to the penitentiary. An effor

cupied with the controversy between

THE MEXICAN NATIONAL RAILWAY
MATTER,
The Diaro Official, the government
journal, this evening contains letter of
James Sullivan, special agent here Of
the Mexican National Railway com
pany, addressed TO the minister of pub.
lie works, in which Il is stated that SOW.
eral newspapers Of this city, on errono.
Gus information, have stated that
the Mexican National Railway COM
pany Is In danger Of FORGETTING
their concession, net having constructed
the requisite number Of kilometres from
January, 1888, to January, 1885. Mr.,
Sullivan asserts that the company has
built SO Kilometres more than IL was re-
quired by law 10 build, consequently
the company is In no danger OF losing
the concession, This statement is con-
hrmed by the department Of public
works. The misapprehonsion largely
grew out of q construction of tue terms
of concession, which are con-
strued by the government in
liberal spirit. The building
of the Mattmoras Il Monterey branch
was in the concession, and stipulated
that IL should be constructed without
suspension, but the government holds
that this will not DO required. The gov
ernmont is disposed 10 be very liberal
IN It's Interpretation Of the terms OK the
charter, although the language OF the
concession is apparently very strict.

AChoctaw to BE Shot

FORT SMITH, May 2l,-Samuel New
ton, full-blooded Choctaw, was sem
fenced Tuesday at Aash-e-la.tub-bee
courthouse to be shot June 5, for the
murder of his wife. The murdered
woman was li3 cousin. They stopped
at Choctaw's house, last October, and
she was never again seen alive. Some.
time after, parties discovered her dead
body two miles from the road, with her
head completely severed from her
body and Partially devoured by hogs.
1t was first supposed the woman
was killed by wild animals, but tho sus.
picious action Of Newton led to his ar
rest and subsequent conviction. The
Choctaws execute their mgrderers by
shooting instead Of hanging, which is
deemed 3 lasting disgrucs.

Jasper Rhodes to Hang To-day.
GALVESTON, May 2l.--The scene about
the Jail to-day was lively one. Fully
1900 people, mostly colored, were ad-
mitted 10 the Jail TO take last look
at Jasper Rhodes, the murderer,
who hangs tomorrow. Hundreds
OF visitors had never seen the doomed
man before and were prompted to visit
him out OF morbid curiosity. Tailor
Brown was present at all interviews
with the prisoner and nothing was
permitted to be given him without being
closely inspected. Rhodes bears up re-
marksbly well. He does not seem
to be greatly concerned about to-moI-
row. He is not very communicative 10
reporters. He said to-day that he did
not premeditate the killing of his wife
ON the night of the murder; that
he only went to Mr.. TlernAn's
house TO get his clothes. IN
conversation with his spiritual
advisers he said he had forgiven every
one that he had no enemies and that he
was not afraid to die. He prays fervent-
ly and was baptized to-day, a large batf
tub being improvised into a .Baptsma
font. The execution VIII take place IN
the Jail. Not over 40 persons will wit
ness the hanging.
