The Governor Offers a Reward for the
Arrest of the Negroes.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 21.-For the appre-
hension of ex-Convict Roscoe Marable,
who, with two other negroes gnow in Jail,
is wanted for the murder Of Rev. Nehemiah
Evitt in Walker county, on the night of
Jan. II. Gov. Northen has offered a reward
OF 500. Mr.. Evitt was one the best
citizens of the county in which
he resided. He was a country merchant
Nas well as minister, and his
store was near the camp of the convicts and
railroad hands. On the night of the murder
three negroes called him up from bed on a
pretense of wanting to make a purchase
from his stock. The unsuspicious old man
responded. The moment he appeared at his
door they assaulted and killed him. Then
entering the store they robbed it of $3.50.
That night the absence from the railroad
camp of Marable, John Weaver and a ne
gro named Carmichael was discovered. 1t
is thought the others will be captured.
Marable, who is said to have been the lead
e-, succeeded in getting away without leav-
ing any clew to his destination.

EXODUS oUPEs LESS HOPEFUL

They Begin to Realize That Their View
of Africa Was Only a Mirage.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 21.-The African ex-
cursionists show signs of weakening in their
faith, and some have even become so des-
perate as to work. Others are trying to
obtain passes, having no money to buy
tickets, back to Waco. Others insist that
they will go TO Africa, but though pretend
ing to be reticent they have in
truth little to tell, knowing moth
ing whatever Of the means. The
publication of the letter from the secretary
of the Congo company may have bred the
distrust which seems to have arisen
in the breast of a majority of the
would-be emigrants, as one of the anti
African negroes has produced previous
communication from the same source,
which makes the same dollar-a-head repre-
sensations for which the secretary de-
nounces Agent Peek.
ONE THING THAT CATCHES THEM.
Were the exodus boomers white men no
further evidence OF the fraud being prac-
ticed upon them would be required. AS IL
is. a great deal of grumbling has begun In
the ranks, and Orange Davis, the local
treasurer. has been asked some very en-
barrassing questions concerning the absent
dollars deposited in his hands by Peeks
dupes. and there are serious threats of pros
ecution if the money is not forthcoming. The
leader, who was released some time ago on
bond, has not returned, and his bondsman,
J. p. Meyer, a colored grocer, is in the soup
to the tune of 300. The secret meetings at
Schelrs hall are being kept up. No ticket
to Africa has yet been seen by anybody, as
far as can be ascertained-

THE MILITARY ORDERS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-Instructions
nave been sent 70 the MAJOR general COM
mandlng the division Of the Pacific and the
admiral commanding the naval forces on
the Pacific station to pay full military and
naval honors TO the dead King Kalakaua.
Acting under these instructions the
army and naval authorities at San

funeral arrangements, and the transfer OF
the remains TO the flagship Charleston will
be marked by the highest military honors
authorized by the regulations, including
the firing of salutes from the forts and war
ship Charleston, which has been placed
entirely at the disposal of the Hawaiian
authorities. She will be specially prepared
for the reception Of the body, and will make
the trip to Honolulu as rapidly as possible.
LONG LIVE THE KING.
She will also remain at that port TO par
ticipate in the ceremonies attending the
burial of the king aud the coronation Of his
successor, and will at the same time see
that the interests of this country are fully
protected. While the authorities at
Washington are DESTROYS OF
dong the highest honors to
the Hawiian government in its bereave-
ment they are somewhat perplexed as to
the best course to pursue. There Is no
precedent to follow, as this is the first
Instance where the ruler of foreign coun-
try had died on American soil. 1t is said
however, that there will be ample time for
further action when the government is ad-
yised of the installation Of the new ruler.
Secretary Blaine said this afternoon that
the United States had lost good friend in
King Kalakaua and would do every possible
honor to his memory.

moved to the banks of Craven creek, about
four miles south OF the agency. The First

with apprehension aud have accordingly
doubled their pickets and are preparing for
an emergency. Gen. Brooke has established
his headquarters in camp, while Gen. Miles
remains at the agency. About 100 Brule
