A MURDERER IDENTIFIED.
Sheriff Martin Of Tampa TO Leave
this Morning with nc Rae.


this Morning with nc Rae.
Sheriff James ?. Martin Of Tampa, Hills
borough county, Florida, arrived yesterday
noon in this city with a requisition for the
colored fugitive from justice, Mack McRse,
an account Of whose arrest last Saturday
by Officer Knox Of the Ocean steamship
police. in CoopsrshOp lane, was detailed IN
Sundays MORNING NEWS. Mr.. Martin
will leave with bis prisoner for Tampa this
morning. Officer Knox will accompany
Sheriff Martin as far as Tallahassee, where
the $500 reward will be paid the lucky
policeman. Sheriff Martin received a tele-
gram from Gov. Fleming Of Florida yes
terday stating that the 800 reward will be
paid for the apprehension and delivery at
lamps of McRae.
Sheriff Martin was seen by a MORNING
NEWS reporter, whom be Informed that be
identified the prisoner at once as Mckae,
the murderer Of Jake Stokes Ccoloredl. The
requisition bore date Of July 8, 1886, and
was signed by Gov Henry d. Mcdaniel,
but it holds good, and on the well-tTe .sured
document Sheriff Roman will turn over the
prisoner this morning.
McRae is said 10 be a professional gam
bier ana is a man Of ABOUT 30 years. In
the latter part Of 1885 he shot and
killed Stokes, a colored laborer, for
alleged intimacy VITA MCttAe b WIG. IL Is
claimed that Stokes followed up the McRae
family from different parts of the state, on
account OF his infatuation for McRae's
wife McRae being a physical sufferer
from the hason, loaded his shotgun,
crawled under the house where Stokes
roomed and awaited his coming, and when
his victim had reached home and retired,
McIae emerged from his hiding place and
shot Stokes through the window, the
charge lit rally tearing out the heart of the
murderer's victim.
McRae was tried, convicted and sen
fenced TO be hanged in June, 1886. Shortly
after his conviction, through the aid of
friends, and it is thought they were come of
his ooored Masonic brethren, McRae was
furnished with file, with which he made
an opening in the iron bars of the window
of the wooden jail in which he was confined
and effected mis- escape. Sheriff Martin
says he followed the fugitive 500 or 900
miles, often being hot on his track, but was
finally compelled to abandon the expensive
pursuit.
1t is reported at Tampa, so Sheriff Martin
informs the MORNING News, that an effort
will be made TO have McRaes sentence
committed. 1t appears that McRae did not,
until after the trial, reveal facts which it is
claimed would have to some extent miti-
gated the crime, and his friends will now
use them in an effort to have the death pen
atty committed TO Imprisonment.

THE SCRAMBLE FOR PENSIONS.

pDlicat1Ona STEADILY

The Colored Veterans Pouring in Their
applications Steadily.
Justice Sheftall wrote out twenty-five
applications for pensions yesterday for
union veterans and widows of veterans,
the majority of the applicants being
colored. He says he has sent on 400 PEN
sion applications for pensions since the late
pension bill was passed. Such q
number of applicants from Savannah
makes the statement Of the pension bureau
at Washington that applicants are coming
i'll at the rate of 10000 day easily ex-
plainable. With nearly 10000 claims
awaiting investigation, it is pretty certain
that some of the applicants will have
weary wait of it. The majority of the
colored applicants are impressed with the
idea that all they have to do is to send in
their names and they will Immediately be-

PROHIBITION.

The enforcement OF prohibition was
one OF the vital issues OF the campaign.
Many men Who did MT favor the law
were in favor Of it's enforcement, and.
one would naturally suppose would be
alive to the necessity OF choosing men
whom if not prohlbitionists, yet we're
men ON whom the opposition held no
strings. But the result is a mystery
froma temperance standpoint. Thevo,e
in this city shows that these called,
temperance clement, with a very lew
exceptions, voted against such men
as Doty, Reed and Wilkinson and IN
favor of Clark, Gardner and Brown,
men not only opposed to the law, but
who have been open vlolators o. 1t III
securing their election. We do not say
that Mr.. Brown has pledged himself not
to enforce the law, but we do say that
no man who uses liquor to secure al
election, who frequents such places al
election times and courts the support o
saloon keepers, is free to do his whol'
duty as a district attorney. In on:
judgement prohibition will be a iarce II

All Halloween.

The young people OF Rapid City did
not allow Halloween to pass without
notice. Parties were given and largely
attended by the young people. The
games incidental to that night we're III
dulged in, and many a fair maiden cn-
deavored by incantations and magic
practices to lift the veil OF futurity and
get a glimpse at her future husband.
That the night before was Halloween
was made painfully apparent to the
residents OF Rapid City yesterday morn
ing, many OF whom woke up to find the
gates missing from their fences o their
front yards filled with dry goods boxes
or else u sign, purloined fromdown town
business house prominently displayed
on the front Of their houses. The boys
had a good time, and while the exuber-
ance OF youthful spirits found vent in
acts OF annoying merriment, INDUCED
in nothing bad or vicious, and those OF
| older growth who mourned for gates and
barn doors lost, signs misplaced or de-
bris piled in their front yards, grimly
smiled and with a remembrance Of how
in years past by they played the same
identical pranks upon "old" Jones Oh
Brown or Smith, forgave the boys anc
set about repairing the triiing damage
done.

A Hypoc-iticai Old P;lfercr.

An extraordinary scene was enacted
Yesterday in the Church of Saint-Ger-
main rAuxerrois during the capture
OF n female pilferer by a private detec-
tive. The offender, who was an unctu-
Gus elderly person, had been surprised
in a diapers shop just as she was en-.
gagged in annexing various articles OF
~haberdashary. Accordingly. she re-
treated quickly from tho establishment,
and. closely followed by the detective,
sook refuge in the church, where she
threw herself on her knees and began
10 turn her eyes up to the roof in fer
vent prayer. The detective, however,
was sure of his woman and ordered
her to get up and follow him, where
upon she shouted Justify for help and
used some extremely realistic language
to the effect that ''a wretch wanted to
take advantage of her!!" The sacred
edifice rang with shrieks, and the
bcad!e of the church, armed with his
long halbcrd, the sacristan, the bell
ringer, and various other persons con.
nccled with the house of prayer rushed
to the rescue. Some of the congrega-
ton who were attending the service
also turned upon the detective. He
was allowed, However, after due cx,
PLANTATION, to take the hypocritical old
pilferer away.-Puras Dispatch to Lon

Death from Campaign WHISKY ana !

from Campaign Whisky and al
Shot Gun.
Onselection morning was Cir
culated and soon verified, that Samuel
Faulkner, u; plasterer and stonemason,
had been shot at his home in this city
by his son. The story is substantially
as follows: Faulkner left home on Mon
day evening to hear about election, he
soon struck campaign whisky and be-
came intoxicated and remained out un-
Til. about four o'clock in the morning
when his boy succeeded in getting him to
gohome. Shortly after their arrival at
the family residence the father became
enrased at the boy and struck him on
the head and threatened to kill him. He
then went out doors after a club when
the boy locked him out. The father
broke in, however, and attempted
another assault on the boy, who picked
up q shot gun thinking to brighten him
away. A struggle ensued for the pos
session Of the weapon, during which it
was discharged, the entire charge strik-
ing tile MAJ in and slightly above the
right groin, mutilating him in u fearful
manner. Faulkner lived about fou1
hours, and before his death exonerated
the boy from all blame in the matter.
The cast is terribly sad. The deceased

In this county the probable has hap
pened. With three parties in the field,
one that APPARENTLY never suffers from
defeat, Insignificant in numbers. yet SO
adhesive in quality as to anger i'll for in
dependence. Another in its infancy and
as q natural consequence lacking inlead-
ership and unfortunate in some OF its
jealous following, when such forces are
met by a well organized army OF Office
holders and seekers backed and urged
on BY unscruplous leaders, there is little
to expect but defeat. Our democratic
friends think that fusion would have de-
feated the republican party. With the
railroad vote, and unlimited funds, UNI
ecruplous workers and free whisky, we
doubt il any combination could have
succeeded. No one willdeny thatas situ-
ated today, the outlook for the new
party Is better than it could have been

Messrs. Clark, Gardner, and brown WIN
the company of colored men, did not
come from his saloon as the ALL
Union OF Tuesday stated, that he is not
open to that class OF people and claims
that the statement will injure his bust
ness. We had our information from
what we supposed was a reliable source
or the article would not have appeared,
but since seeing Mr.. Seip we have been Wis
tied by n of the colored gentlemen who
also desires a correction. Mr.. Jones
states it was simply a little gathering OF
colored gentlemen held in the saloon

for the purpose OF re-atirming their
faith in the old republican party and OF
reading out of their ranks two who had
gone back on the 6. o. p. Messrs. Clark,
Gardner and Brown, he states, were
present. After leaving this place while
crossing the street one OF the party fired
a shot in the air. He denies that any
one was drunk. We gladly make the
