A Proper Choice.
ATLANTA Journal. ]

Mrs jefferson Davis has chosen Richmond
as a final resting place of the remains of her
lamented husband. Several States of the
South sought this honor, and any city of the
South would have been proud to. have re-
ceived it. but there were two of them which
had special claims Richmond and Lexington;
Richmond because it was the capital Of tho
Confederacy and the scene of the most illus
trious services as well as the most terrible
ordeals Of the President of the Confederecy
Lexington because there repose the remains
of Lee aud Jackson, the greatest Of the Con-
federacy's generals.
The choice of the final burying- place was
properly left to Mrs Davis and all will respect
the motives which induced her TO select Rich
mond, and be touched by the beautiful words
in which she expresses her decision.
As soon as the remains of Mr.. Davis shall be
taken to Richmond the work OF building a
monument worthy Of his splendid life should
be begun and promptly executed The peo-
pie of the entire South are ready to respond TO
a call for this noble object

Satisfactory to the South.
fredericksburg Star.1

Mrs. jefferson Davis has, after mature de.
liberation, decided that Richmond shall be
the permanent resting place of the remains
of her illustrlous husband The decision will
doubtless give satisfaction to the entire
South The rivalry for the honor was earnest,
yet friendly, between several OF the southern
States, but now that hrs. Davis has spoken,
her wishes will receive the approval Of al, and
the work of erecting a suitable monument in
the city of Richmond 10 the memory of the
distinguished President Of the Confaderacy.
will receive the support and cooperation OF
every Southern heart. We congratulate Ms.
Davis upon her decision.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1891-07-19
Eminently Right.
[Lynchburg News

The decision of Mrs. Jefferson Davis 10 per-
nit the body of her honored husband to be
finally inferred at the capital OF the Confed-
eracy, was eminently right. 1t was at Rich
mond that he achieved his greatest renown.
and there MS resting place should be. 1t will
be gratifying to Nirginians TO know that the
wife of the dead chieftian has thus shown a
proper appreciation of the affection which
they felt Tor Mr. Davis.

Satisfaction in North Carolina.
raleigh News and Observer

The decision of Mrs. Davis that the re.
mains of President Davis should find inter
ment at Richmond will, we think, give gen.
eral satisfaction in North Carolina.
Mr.. Davis belonged to the whole South,
and had ceased to have local citizenship.
1t was while he was at Richmond that he
was in the largest measure in the eyes of the
Southern people, and that city viii live in
history as the capital of the fallen Confed-
eracy Of which he was the only President. 1t
is peculiarly fitting then that the remains O:
Mr.. Davis should rest where the Lost Cause
had its seat of government, and as il life they
were associated, 30 in death they shall still be
together.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1891-07-19
Altogether Fitting.
Norfolk Landmark

It waslogical. graceful and altogether fitting
that Mrs. Jefferson DAVIS should make the de-
cision she did in choosing Richmond az the
final place of rest for tho body of her illus
trious husband.

A College Graduate Charged With
PoCket-Picking,
George Cartwright and Is@ac Golden
Hold to Answer for Alleged Crooked
Work During the Fair.
The two young men arrested by special

The two young men arrested by Specia
Officer Talbot during the State Fair for
having attempted to pick the pockets of a
man named NJ. :. Green, were examined
in the Police Court yesterday on charges
of attempting to commit grand larceny.
When arrested they gave the names of
George Cartwright and Isaac Golden, but
as they refused To tell in court whether
or not these were their proper names, it is
reasonable to believe that both are ticti-
tIOus.
There was testimony going to show
that Cartwright lifted up Green's coat
and put his hand in his pocket. At this
juncture the officer arrested him.
All that could be SAID against Golden
was that he was in the company of Cart
wright, and they both were acting very
suspiciously when mingling in the crowd
around the pool-boX at the Park.
CartwrightS manner and easy flow of
language while crOSs-eXamining the wit
nesses and in reciting his own story
commanded the attention of everybody
in the courtroom. During the entire eX-
animation he did not make the slightest
grammatical error in his speech, and dis
played unusual ShreWdneSS withal.
III dllSN tE 10 q t4tttSLtOilS DN Inc lily Az
torney, Cartwright said he had graduated
not long since from the State University
at Denver, and came to the coast in
March. For the last three months he had
worked for San Francisco firm, and he
had come to Sacramento with the inten-
ton of selling lot of linen handker-
chiefs.
Concerning the charge against him, he
insisted that he never saw Green in his
life, nor did he ever attempt to put his
hand in anybOdys pocket.
Judge Cravens held both defendants to
answer and fixed bail in the sum of 81 ,0J0
each.
Cartwright, the smooth -tongued pleader.
is the one who leaped from the carriage,
shortly after he was arrested at the Park,
and gave the officers such a merry foot
race. He is just the fellow TO successfully
practice the business which he is charged
with practicing that Of pocket-picking-
as he can readily gain the confidence of
unsuspecting or obfusticated persons.
The officers who made the arrests had
been watching Cartwright and Golden
for some time, and claim to have strong
proof of their guilt.

Why All Jill WEEPS.
The Wife Of His Bosom Has Been
Spirited Away,
He Does Not Believe She Voluntarily
Left Him, But Thinks She
Was kidnapped.

1t looks very much as if there has been
another case of Chinese kidnapping in this
city. 1t differs in some of its features
from the ordinary, everyday sort of So
called kidnapping cases, inasmuch as the
despoiled party is the woman's legal
husband.
His name is All jim, and he has not las
yet, at least sworn to complaint charg-
ing the woman with having stolen some
thing, for the purpose Of having her ar
rested and brought back.
In fact, Mr.. All James has thus far had
no complaint to make against his wife. as
he believes she has been stolen-body,
boots and bustle-from his bed and
| board. He therefore charges jim Lee,
All Fat and King See with the crime of
kidnapping, believing that his missing
better-halt has not been a willing party
to the affair.
The bereaved husband complained yes
terday to District Attorney Ryan that on
the preceding day his wife left their hum
bic home to make a friendly call on
friend, and he has not since laid his low
ing eyes upon her. He has learned, how
ever, that acarriage containing All Fat
and the other perSonageS named, also a
ChlnawOnan, was seen leaving the city
in the direction OF Auburn, and ne is con-
tident that the woman is his wife.
All Jim assured Justice Henry, who
issued the warrant for the arrest of the
men, that his wife and himself have al
ways lived together in peace and har-
mony since their wedding-in proof of
which he exhibited genuine marriage
certifcate-and that she had 10 cause
to leave him. If she desired 10 get
rid of him, he very sensibly says he
would let her go her way, but he cannot
bring himself TO think that she had any
such desire.
The warrant for the arrest of the kid
napers was placed in the hands Of Deputy
Constable Frank Cross, who left at once
for Auburn in the hope of heading of the
party. The carriage III which the woman
was seen to leave the city is said to have
come here from Auburn.
The man whose home has been thus in
yaded and broken up says he believes the
abduction to have been planned for the
purpose of furnishing him because he
was one of those who sided with the run
away Colusa woman, Gum Ho, in her de-
sire to escape TO the Chinese Mission in
San Francisco. The more likely theory,
however, is that some other Chinaman
concluded that he wanted the woman.

San Quentin's Tough Trio Transferrc

San Quentin's Tough Trio Transferred

having in charge three convicts who have
been ordered by the State Prison Direct
Ors transferred to Folsom Prison.
One Of the prisoners is c. c. Sullivan,
the leader of the gang of conspirators
who were caught III scheme to escape
from San Quentin Prison.
Charles Backman, another of the trio.
is being transferred on general principles.
lie is regarded as dangerous man and a
schemer. He claims to be able to hyD-
nOtize persons, and has struck terror into
the hearts of some of the prisoners at
Warden Hale's asylum. 1t was he who
burned ship in San Francisco harbor
and came near ConVicting the mate OF the
crime. He also caused Warden Nc
Comb no end of trouble by his clever for
geries. He will be put to work in the
Quarries.
The third prisoner was Charles Irwin.
He Is a carpenter by trade and can be
put to work Immediately at Folsom.
By transferring these prisoners TO Fol
som Warden Hale gets rid of a trouble
some element, and breaks up the gang of
conspirators who have made his life a
burden for months past.
While the three convicts were waiting
inside the main gate at San Quentin to be
transferred to Folsom, they attacked
George Welles, the young convict who
brought the arms into the prison for
them and afterward confessed to the
Warden.
Bachman and Sullivan sprang upon
Welles, tearing at his throat land grasping
his head tried to wrench it from his
shoulders.
Guards were summoned. and with diff
1iculty succeededIin getting Welles away
from his assalants. He was badly
bruised, and would undoubtedly have
been killed if the convicts had possessed
anything in the way of weapons.
