CAPITAL CHATTER.
Supreme Court United States
Court HOuse-Items.
SUPREME COURT rTr No.

Jefferson City, Mo-, January 7.-Su-
preme court met this morning at 9 o'clock,
all the judges being present.
The appC intment of Harry Y. Sherwood
as deputy clerk of the supreme court, was
approved, and the appointment entered OF
record. Mr.. Sherwood is SON of Judge
Sherwood
The motion for rehearing in the case
OF the state VS.. Sallie Hayes was sustained,
and general stay of execution granted
until the case can be re-examined by this
court The defendant is a negro woman
who shot and killed Police Officer jerks in
St. Louis in October, 1883. She was tried
and convicted of murder in the first degree
in the criminal court and sentenced to be
hanged. Upon appeal to the supreme
court the judgment was affirmed and the
sentence ordered carried into effect on the
10Th inst. The motion for rehearing is
doubtless granted on account of some
technical error in the trial court, as the
murder was cold blooded and unprovOked.
Supreme court adjourned until the 26th
inst, when the January call commences.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Ex-senator Ladue, of Clinton, and
tending supreme court.
The Tribune Printing company have
removed their office from High to Madison
street diagonally across from the Madison.
The penitentiary inspectors met this
morning and decided to adjourn sine die.
This settles the branch pen until the next
legislature takes the matter In hand
There seems to be q strong undercur-
rent among the masses Of the people of the
state against the reelection of Senator
Cockrell. Whether this opposition will
concentrate upon any one of the candi-
dates now in the field, it is of course, i'm
possible to determine. Judge f. III. Nor
ton of the supreme court would be strong
candidate and the leaders of The opposition
to CockreIl are anxious for the Judge to
enter the race.
The walls Of the United States court
house and postoffice building here are fin
ished and the contract has been let for the
roofing. The building when completed,
although an appropriation of S135, 900 has
been made for the purpose, will not COM
pare with your court house either In archi-
tectural design or convenience In construc-
ton. This building, however, will, we
think, act as an anchor TO enable us to
hold down the state capital and prevent
the next legislature from soaring Us out of
our wits again by agitating the question of
removal.

Killed According to Promise

Philadelphia, Pa, January About
two years ago the residences OF number
of prominent men in Bordentown, New
Jersey, were entered and robbed. Thomas
Moran, n track walker on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad, discovered the plumber hidden
under pile of railroad ties, and upon his
evidence two thieves were sent for short
terms to the state prison. After their SEN
tenee they told Moran that they would get
square with him. Yesterday afternoon his
dead body was found in the canal else to
the line of the railroad, near the scene of
the murder. The tracks of Moran and the
murderers are clearly marked in the mud.
They indicate that he was pursued for
some fifty yards, then cvertaken and
killed by two shots, one glancing the fore
head lengthwise and the other pene-
trating the neck and severing the
carotide artsry. The body was then thrown
resting on the bank. A Frenchman was
who is suspected OF being the murderer. At
the scene Of the tragedy q cloth-covered
coat button was picked up, which may serve
the authorities. A dispute has arisen be-
tween Coroners Disbrow, of Mercer, and
Taylor, of Burlington counties, for the
possession of the body. Both functionaries,
with their retinues, reached Bordentown a
Ii tie before noon. Moran's body was found
by the crew of q railroad train in Mercer
county, two miles from the Burlington
county line, and vas put on The cars and
taken to Bordentown. After hot argu-
ment, in which neither yielded his right,
it was mu ually agreed to adjourn the in

STAIRS LAST HOPE.
Necessary Preparations for the
Execution Ordered.

Nevada, Mo-, January 6.-GoverDOr
Marmaduke and party arrived in the city
o-day from Carthage, where they had been
attending the tenth anniversary of the
Carthage Light Guards. The principal
part of the governors mission here was to
Investigate. the case of Henry $. Stair, who
is to be haged ON the 18th inst. for the muir
der of old man Sewell and his son last
August The governor desired that Stair
sho,,ld be

The interview was very lief The COVER
nor sp-nt some time In carefully examining
the evidence given at Stairs trial, and in
reply To a question as to what course
he intended to pursue, replied that he was
not vet ready to- answer the question for
the public. During the afternoon, how
ever, the fact was revealed that he had
given Sheriff Hall instructions to make all
necessary preparations for
THE EXECUTION
of the sentence. Frederick Stair, of Indi-
ana, father of the doomed man, is in the
city and will remain until after the exs Gu
ton, hen he will take charge of his sons
remains and convey them to his home. lie
denied the statement recently made by
Nanetta Osborne, Stairs alleged wife and
accomplice in the crime, to the effect that
his son ever had charge of his business in
Arkansas. Not shadow of nope remains
for Stair, and it is safe to presume that he
will b. hanged on the 10th.
Governor Marmaduke and party left at
6:S0 this evening for Jefferson City.

Boot Thieves.

Yesterday couple of tramps stol
q pair of boots each from in front
Courtney's store and made off with
them, but they were soon overhauled
and taken to the calaboose, where
they gave the names of James Haicht
and George Hennessy. They were
taken before Justice Halstead and
given ten days each in Jail. Haicht
is German and told the scribe he
was glad he got caught, as he was
tired of tramping and wanted to rest,
Hennessy claims he worked all sum-
mer at Independence but rheumatism
had disabled him and he was trying
to get to st. Louis. He had no
money to buy medicine and stole the
boots to sell them to raise funds for
that purpose. He claims this is bis
frst criminal act and that it will be
his last. Both are hard looking cases.

How His WOOing of Weak
Minded Woman was
Wrecked.

''Do you know thst man ?" asked a
well known Sedalia drummer of Off
cor Payne. as he dismouuted from the
branch train last night and pointed to
sportly individual just DISSEMINATING,
followed by a handsome young wo-
nan.
Eyes," replied Payne, as he rec
sgDized an Individual also well known
IA Sedalia, but whose name for the
sake of the woman cannot be given.
"Well," said the drummer, she has
evil designs on the lady, who is young
and recently married. Save her if
ysu can"
Officer Payne Immediately followed
the couple to the Pacific house, from
whence the portly individual sent for
. carriage. A BAzoo scribe having
heard the remarks of the drum mer,
approached him, and after considera-
be trouble, gained the following
nformution: The young woman was
bat recently married. and had come
to Sedalia to visit a sister. On the
way she had fallen in with the masher
who had piled her with his arts with
ssch success as to induce her to follow
him by the time the train reached
sedalia. On the way down a gentle
man who knew her well and who re.
sides at Brownsville had discovered
the game being played, aud when he
left the train had confded the matter
10 bis Sedalia friend and exacted a
promise from him to see that she was
safely landed at her sisters home, un-
der the assurance that he, the Browne
vile man, knew her to be respect
able lady. Payne remained at the
Pacific house until the carriage ar
rived. When the foolish couple came
eat and entered it Payne stepped up
- the door at once and said:
Lady, I desire to speak to you
privately q moment"
"What fort"
"For your own good"
After a moments silence all round
the masher said to the lady.
Are you willing to see him!"
81 suppose | must, be is an officer"
IAe replied getting out of the car
rage.
Payne took her aside, and after a
NV words, came back and ordered the
nasher from the carriage.
"sball I gof" he asked of the lady.
Eyes" she replied.
The masher dismounted and the
lady entered, Payne mounted
beside the driver and Or
8ered him to drive to a certain 10
sality and they departed to her sis
ters. Payne stated to a reporter that
after she had been taken from the
nasher's influence the lady broke
down and expressed great gratitude
for her deliverance. 1t is to be hoped
that she will remember the lesson and
beware of travelling acquaintance in
the future, but the chances are that
there will yet be another chapter to
the story, but if 30 the BAzoo de-
aires to warn all the parties that it is
n possession of their names and will
not promise to withhold them in the
future.

Imcifer'S Debut.

From the Greensboro (OG.) Herald.
Col. S. d. Linton remembers when the
first matches were used. 1t was in 1926.
They were made of sulphur, the sulphur
being placed on a small stick. In order
to ignite them one was forced to carry
with him a bottle of suphuric acid. The
sulphur-covered stuck was stuck in the
acid, and when it was withdrawn the ac-
ton of the atmosphere caused ignition.
Lucifer matches, that is, those which
ignited from friction, were Invented later.
Col. Linton tells OF how, in this con-
nection, professor in the Athens univer-
sity frightened the wits almost out Of his
students.
He came into the recitation room one
day, and with the most earnest look on
his face, said to the GLASS:
''Bnys, we are gone up. Lucifer is in
towuw
Some of the boys jumped up.
What! the devilr"
"Lucifer himself" continued the pro-
lessor. 81 saw him down town to- day
myself"
The students crowded around him and
eagerly began TO question the professor
as to what he looked like; was be ugly,
what he was doing and the like.
The professor waited until the excite
ment was pretty high. when he pulled
The boys sat down.
In the same conversation Colonel Lin
ton referred to the time when tallow
candles were made at home. Some
families had moulds in which a dozen
candles could be cast. A wick was
drawn through the centre OF the mould
and melted tallow poured in. After cool
ing they we're drawn forth.
But few possessed the convenience of a
a 81. 10 a 4 IL,

Kissimmee Leader: Last Tuesday
Sheriff Anderson came to Kissimmee,
and taxing his deputy, r. j. Sears, and
the writer hereof as company, proceeded
down on the Point to arrest a father and
his two sons named Lamb, who were
charged with committing a m ur6er at
Lake City some thirteen years ago. The
Sheriff succeeded In capturing the father
and his son Charles, but Hezekiah, the
other son wanted, had not lived there
for upwards of two years. The old
gentleman claims that he is entirely
innocent of the crime charged;
that the cor0ner's jury did not Implicate
him in the murder; that he was arrested
on suspicion and imprisoned for three
months at the time without an investiga-
ton or trial; that after he was liberated
be resided there for fifteen months unmo-
Tested; that six years ago the Lake City
authorities sent down and had him again
arrested and confined couple of weeks
without any Investigation, when he was
again liberated, and now to be again ar
rested and torn away from his family he
considers unjust and inhuman.
