the Rev. Noah Jackson, negro preacher
DR.. George G. Brewer, Mrs. Z. Miller,
and Mamie Cole, alias Williams, were ar
rested today and brought before Com
missioner Rogers to answer the charge
of conspiring to detraud The United States
government. Gairitee is now Under in
dictment in nine cases for violating the
pension laws.
The conspiracy charged arises from the
marriage Of Mamie Cole, rather good
looking mulatto girl, about % years old,
to John Lewis Cole, n negro veteran on
his deathbed. The marriage took place
on last July 81, just before the old mans
death and was managed by Garritee, the
purpose being to secure to Mamie the
old mans pension OF SIS a month and
an arrearage, together with an increase
ofpension, which will soon fall du,l
amounting to 81 900.
At the time Of the marriage the old
man was unconscious and apparently
entirely oblivious to his wedding cere.
monv. The religious ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Noah Jackson, the
venerable pastor of Shiloh church, who
admits that he thought the marriage
rather queer, but supposed that Brother
Cole, who had been living with Mamie,
wanted to make an honest woman other
before he died.

man seemed to be nearly dead. He
couldn't sit up in bed, and Mr.. Garritee
put his hand under his head, while the
bride stood beside the bed and held the
hand of the dying man. The doctor was
there, too, and also two white women.

read the service and asked the man if he
would take the woman as his wife he
gurglcd and could hardly speak, but at
last he managed to Stammer iout Yes.
Then Mr. Garritce put his head back on
the pillow, and the next day | heard
that the old soldier was dead "
Mamie had been living with Cole for
the last six wears Sbc was knownas his
daughter, but really lived with him as a
wife. Their home on Vine street wa:
comfortably furnished, and the coupl,
had lived well on the pension OF Sl5 q

theory is that clouds of artificial mists

The Arizona Runs Into an Unknown
schoOUer-No Trace of Her Found.
QUEENSTOWN, September 13.-The
Guion line steamer Arizona, Capt.
Brooks, from New York September 5,
for Liverpool, arrived here to-day in a
battered condition. Certain passengers
report that an early hour on Sunday
September 9, while the vessel was in a
fog, but steaming rapidly, an I'M
known sailing vessel believed to
be a large coasting schooner, struck
stem on the AriZOna's port quarter.
The passengers who were in bed at the
time of the accident, were awakened by
the shock and noise Of the collision,
and all rushed on deck. 1t was seen
that thirty feet Of rails and life boat
had been smashed; that the deck was
damaged and that several plates had
been bent. Owing to those ominous
evidences Of a collision, it was at first
believed that the consequences OF the
accident were much more serious than
proved to be the case.
The Arizona for long time searched
in vain for the unfortunate sailing YES
sci. A part Of her bowsprit was left on
the ArizOna's deck. From wreckage
seen II is feared she foundered.
