TWO MURDERERs' CRIMES.
Why Isom White and william Caldwell
Have to Die.

Why Is0m White and william Caldwell
Have to Die.
Sr. LOUIS. July S1.-Following IL the story
Of crime committed by Isom White, to be
hanged at Helena, Ark, today:
The crime for which Isom White was exc
cuted today was committed on January q 1891.
White, Harry Young and another negro named
Nathan Carter had been picking cotton for
Prince MaAoy, a negro in good circumstances
who lived on Island 66, q few miles below
Helena. They knew Malloy was in the habit o.
keeping money in his house. On the night of
January the three men returned to Malloy's
called him out to the door and opened a con-
yersation with him. He asked them into the
house. As soon tho men got on the porch
they seized Malloy, knocked him down with
weapon Of some kind, dragged him out in the
yard and shot him to death. Both were SUBJ
sequently arrested and indicted. Harry Young
pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree
Apd was used as q witness against white by the
state. He got fifteen years in tho penitentiary
and 10 now in that institution. White was tried
and found guilty Of murder in the first degree.
Nathan Carter has not yet been apprehended.
Following il the story of the crime committed
by VIM. Caldwell, to be hanged at Houston,
Tex, today:
VIM. Caldwelrs death probably sealed the
lips of q man who could. had he wished, have
told more about the origin Of the fearful strife
pecker factions in Fort Bend county than any
other person. He was . negro, far above the
usual standard Of his race in point Of intelli-
gence. The warfare which existed for O couple
OF years between these two political factions
sxterminated whole families and scores of men
were murdered during its reign.
But Caldwell ID the only person who met o
judicial death on account Of it. He killed DR..
J. NJ. Shamblin ON the night of July 81, 1885,
This Was the first murder committed by either
side Of the vendetta. Dr. Shamblain was promi.
nent jaybird, or democrat. He was regarded
as the leader Of the opposition to those who
we're controlling the political destinies Of Fort
Bend county at that time. Caldwell was
woodpeoker or republican.
On the night Of the assassination DR.. Sham
bin was sitting at table in his home, few
miles from Richmond, the county seat Of Fort
| Bend county, with his wife and family sur
rounding him. He was holding family PRAYER.
| Suddenly there was q report of 8 gun, and load
! Of buckshot crashed through a window close to
where he was sitting. The doctor dropped
| from the chair il which he had been sitting
! and with q groan. expired. He held closely
| the Bible from which he had been reading.
No one saw Caldwell when he shot DR..
Shamblin. The evidence upon which he was
| arrested. tried. convicted and executed was
purely circumstantial. Caldwell had been
renting farm from the murdered man, and
| there had been some trouble between them
over . division of the crops.

A RUMOR HARD TO KILL.
That the Car Will Relax Hebrew Persecution
at Americas Request.


That the Car Will Relax Hebrew Persecution
at Americas Request.
LONDON. July GA cable dispatch to the
Dunlap-Dalziel agency was published in this
city several days ago, stating that the State
Department of the United States had been in
formed that the car, at the instance Of the
United States, had ordered a temporary relaxa-
ton OF the laws and regulations providing for
the expulsion of Hebrews from Russia.
On the day following dispatch was pub
lished here from Washington, DC. saying that
the Dunlap-Dalziel statement had been investi-
gated and that at the State Department it was
said that it was absolutely untrue that any such
intelligence had been received there.
The Dunlap Dalziel agency today again asserts
that the State Department at Washington has
received the information referred to, adding
that the information was received direct from
the State Department and that the State De-
partment has not denied the truth Of the Dun
lap-DalZiel statement In the United States.
However, denial of this story has appeared
throughout Europe and the Berlin corre-
spondent Of the London Times chronicles the
denial a. appearing in the North German
Gazette.
Times says: This is the fourth time that this
assertion as to the relaxation Of the measures Of
expulsion have been circulated in the interests
Of certain official connections which are per-
fectly apparent to those who understand the
situation. In spite Of authentic denials
which were not necessary in view Of the
continuance Of the facts complained
Of, the report il repeated over and over again
that the czar has relaxed the regulations,
whereas to the present day nothing Of the kind
private letter from Moscow asserts that
things are worse than ever in Russia, and the
Times calls attention to the fact that Mr.. T. NJ.
Crawford, the United States consul general at

AN AWKWARD SITUATION.
Trouble Over the Applications of Messrs. Nc
CHM and Mcdonald for Leave.

Trouble Over the Applications of Messrs. Nc.
CHM and Mcdonald for Leave.
The applications Of Chief Clerk McGinn and
Mr.. Mcdonald of the health department for
the customary thirty days leave Of absence
have placed the Commissioners in rather
an awkward situation. and today they
were ut loss to say whether
or not the applications should be granted. In
response to request from the Commissioners
yesterday that they send in their designations
to take effect today both Of the officials
In the health Office complied late yesterday
afternoon. In each case the resignation
was accompanied by a recommendation from
Health Officer Townshend that they be granted
leaves of absence. This would delay their
designations actually going into effect until the
last of August This would leave DR..
Hammett, who goes into office as health
officer tomorrow morning, without chief
clerk or clerk. The Commissioners have no
desire to reflect in any way upon Messrs. Nc
CHM and Mcdonald, as they might
seem to do if they denied the leave
Of absence that is customary in the
case of an official after long and valuable serv-
ice. Yet they cannot have different men fill
ing the places at the same time, and
they cannot pay two salaries for one
position. If their applications are granted
DR.. Hammett will be without assistants for q
month unless he can get his appointees to work
without salary.
The Commissioners are to hold a second
board meeting late this afternoon and the mat
ter will probably be settled one way or the
other then.

A FISH DEALERS LICENSE.
Assistant Attorney Thomas Differs With
Judge Kimban on the Subject.

Assistant Attorney Thomas Differs with
Judge Kimbar on the Subject.
Several weeks ago Chas. B. Simmons, Ash
dealer in tho Georgetown market made appli-
cation to the Commissioners that his license
fee of eos be returned to him. the Judge of the
Police Court having held that Ash dealers
In that market are not required TO pay
o license Of s25 annually. The case was re-
ferred 10 Mr.. g. T. Thomas, assistant attorney
for the District, for an opinion.
In his opinion rendered this afternoon Mr.
Thomas says: If Judge Kimbsll held broadly
that fish dealers were not produce deal
ers within tho meaning OF the license Law,
do not agree with him. The law
says that every person whose business il is to
buy and sell produce, meats or fruits from va
gonhor carts, stalls, stores or stands shall be
regarded as produce dealer and that pro-
&25 each.
by proviso in the law produce dealers
selling produce of their own raising are not re.
CURED to pay this license tax. The ground Of
Judge Kimbalrs decision, as I under
stand il, was that the sct Of the
district assembly, above quoted. did
not repeal the ordinance Of tine corporation Of
Washington exempting dealers In fresh fish
to me p' shas dozen sss's ns ss' oonsin:
no exception in favor Of dealers in fresh
hsh and only exempts persons selling
produce OF their own raising from the payment
OF the license tax. 1t seems to me a strained
construction to hold that the exemption
In favor Of dealers in fresh fish was not
repealed by the act Of the legislative
assembly of August %, 1871, above referred to.
Yet It is said Judge Kimball.so held. The point
that because the law Of 1871 does not mention
fresh fish therefore only salt fish are included
under the word fish in that law is very fine.
II do not think Mr.. Simmons entitled to the
return of the license tax he has paid. Let him
sue the District if he is advised differently and
in this way the matter can be get before the
General Term of the District Supreme Court"
