REwARDINa THE CAPrORs.
The Men Who Caught Rube Burrows and
Rube Smith Get Each Thousand Dollars.


Rube Smith Get Each a Thousand Dollars.
Warrants we're issued today from the Post
Office Department for the payment of 81 1000
to Col. ]. d. Carter of Myrtlewood, Ala, a re-
ward for the capture of the celebrated
train robber and highwayman, Rube
Burrows. Under the terms of the reward it
was to be paid for the trial and conviction Of
Burrows before United States court But it
happened that after Col Carter had sue
ceeded in capturing the notorious outlaw the
latter succeeded in making his escape
1t happened that Carter came in contact with
Burrows when he was free and both men
opened fire. Burrows was instantly killed by
bullet through his heart and Car
ter was wounded in the shoul-
der. The probability is that the
arm will be amputated. In consideration of
the undoubted guilt Of Burrows and the pluck
Of Col. Carter and his being manned the Post
master General decided to make an exception
in his case and give him the reward, although
Burrows had not been tried and convicted by
United States court.
A check for 81 900 was also sent to Thomas
p. jackson of Aberdeen, Miss. who captured
Rube Smith, a member of Burrows gang, who
is now serving a life sentence.
The award for the capture Of Joe Jackson,
another accomplish who was killed while at
tempting to escape from Jail, will be divided
among about fourteen persons.

NO TRACE OF MISS AVA.
It 10 Claimed That She Is No Other tn
Mrs. Diss de Bar.


Mrs. Diss de Bar.
CHICAGO, Sept 11.-No trace has been found
of Miss Vera Ava, the alleged to be wealthy
English woman who came here some weeks ago
to work for the reclamation Of fallen women
and who suddenly disappeared on Wednesday
evening.
Concerning her identity an afternoon paper
says:
Vera Ava is, it is now asserted, none other
than Ann O'Delia Diss dc Bar the spook priest
ess Of New York. She was seen on the street
and recognized by New York newspaper
woman, who called upon Police Lieut.. Shea
this morning and told him of her discovery.
Her description of Ann ODelia tallies ex-
actly with that of Miss Ava According to the
New York lady the notorious spiritualst car
ried a stock Of wigs and other make-ups and
has of late been travelling across the country
swindling gullible church people. Dougherty,
the carriage driver who has been driving the
alleged philanthropist around town, was at
police headquarters this morning and his de-
scription of her is identical with that furnished
by the lady from New York, who declared in
positive terms that the missing party was Diss
de Bar and nobody else.
Il have no doubt, judging from the state
ments furnished me by the lady from New
York, that Miss Ava is Diss de Bar" said Lieut.,
Shea, land this opinion is strengthened from
information CLEANED from other sources"

Reducing Our Fleet i'm Chilli.

The cruiser San Francisco, now in Chill. has
been ordered north and will probably sail Mon
day for Mare Island, Cal, where she will be
docked, cleaned and painted, as Der unpro-
tected and unshcathed bottom has gotten very
foul in the southern waters.
Admiral Brown will come north on her and
continue in command Of the vessels on the Pa
citc station. Capt. Schley will remain for a
time in CHILEAN waters with the Baltimore, and
affairs have SO quieted down in Chill as to
justify the belief that one United States ship

specting the future station of the San Fran

Mare Island in readiness to meet any emer-
gency that may arise.

4 WANTED THE MILK INSPECTED.
The Samples Which a Woman Took to tn
Commissioner ONCE Today

Commissioners ONCE Today.
The pretty little milk maid of whom poets
have written would certainly have blushed
could she have been present in the board room
OF the Commissioners Office this morning
when a lady entered with basket on her arm
containing two glass jars, which, she said. con-
tanned milk
1t would have been rnanifestly unjust to have
disputed the lady, yet the contents Of the Jars
looked more like overdue garbage than the
product of cow
The lady explained, however, that the milk
was left at her house yesterday by her dairy
man and to all Appearances was nice fresh milk.
but when she looked tit this morning she found
that something was wrong. 1t was Of dirty
brown color full of tiny blood corpuscles and
resembled "bottle of disease
She stated that the health department could
not analyze it and she had been referred to the
District chemist.
Prof. Richardson who is the only chemist
under the District government. has charge of
the inspection OF cements and asphalt and il is
not his duty to analyze food
He took a sample from the bottle however
and made microscopical examination. which
disclosed beyond a doubt that the milk was
diseased, although to what extent he could not
say, as the examination was merely a superb
cial one.
Inc commissioners are powerless 20 do any,
thing In the matter. as the District has no in
spector OF milk and no one to analyze it. IL is
not generally known that the commissioner of
internal revenue, according to the act of
Congress passed November 90 lsss, is en-
trusted with the power given under this
act OF regulating the analysis of foods and
drugs In the District Of Columbia, and any one
who thinks that he has been imposed upon
may submit sample Of the food supposed to be
adulferated and have an examination
made. So the lady was referred to the COM
missioner of internal revenue. Health Officer
Hammett happened in shortly afterward, and
In speaking OF milk and the liability OF disease
being communicated through it said:
"Ihere is no subject more worthy of serious
consideration than milk. believe that many
diseases are communicated through the use of
1t. and persons cannot be too careful in obtain
ing the pure article.
I'VE should undoubtedly have an inspector
OF mill, butter and vinegar, and in my annual
report intend to recommend one"

When asked why he did not stop at Com.

the jury and told them solemnly that when the

there was no malice in his heart.

This closed the testimony, as the common
wealth expressed no desire to cross examine
the defendant.

Mrs. Hams was next placed on the stand
She was overcome by her emotion and it was
some time before she could make her voice
audible. In describing the intimacy between
her son and the deceased young man
during the past nine years Mrs:
was several moments before she could go on
with her story. She told Of the friendship be-
tween the two boys, dwelling upon its closeness
and intimacy. She said that her son had not
been strong nor well since he was nineteen
years of age, when he had suppressed scarlet
fever.
Her story was very brief and was received
amid the most intense silence. She was es-
corted to and from the witness chair by Judge

Politics as They Appear Through the Ely,
Of Ex.Representatixe Clemcnts


OF Ex-Representative Clements.
''The alliance is busy in Georgia" said ex-
Representative Clements to a STAR reporter
this afternoon. "A great many meetings are
being held and the leaders are more active than
ever before. Some of these strongly advocate
third party tickets, both state and national.
but the chances are that such an xtreme will not
be reached because the masses are opposed to it.
Nearly all the alliance people in our state are
democrats, and while they have joined the alli-
ance because they had what they felt were real
grievances, yet at heart they are democrats
They are willing, in the great majority of cases,
to abide by the decision Of the democratic
party.
Presidential candidates? There doesn't
seem to be any marked drift Of sentiment in
favor of anybody. Cleveland is highly re-
spected, in fact is regarded with positive affec-
ton. although the people Of Georgia are almost
unanimous in their opposition to his
position on the silver question. There
Is considerable difference Of opinion as
to the advisability Of nominating him, but
should he be the choice of the convention he
would be warmly supported. Politically this
may seem somewhat paradoxical, but it is true.
Georgia will be for the nominee"

New YonK, Sept. 1.-The excellent char
acter OF the government crop report issued

lated rather unduly the prices in the stock
market this morning, for first figures in almost
all the active shares were large fractions higher

strength and rose to ll9l4, but the rest OF the
list failed to recover the early losses as rule.

The stock market was still fairly active after
