John Wright, Talt Halls best friend,
was over from Kentucky to see Hall
last Tuesday. He said, "Hall you have
been treated like dog. You have not
had fair trial by sight"
Hall recently told his sister, Mrs.
VIM. Bates,in the presence of the guard,
that there were three men he wanted
her to have put out of the way, if it
took the last feather out of her bed.
She asked him to tell her their names,
but he refused to do so as he could not
speak to her privately. He said though
that he would tell her before he was
executed.
When Talt Hall was on trial for the
murder of Hylton, he testified that he
never saw the man until the day he
killed him, and that he had naught
whatever against him. A friend of
Hylton says that this much of the
story is true, and he went on to state
that the secret to the murder was that
Hylton and Claib Jones were enemies,
and that in a fight at Hindman, KY,
which was precipitated by an attempt
to arrest Jones, Hylton was shot in the
face. Hylton was very brave man
and was feared by evil doers, and to
crafty his feelings, he went to work to
have Hylton assassinated. He found q
ready tool in Talt Halt who went to
Norton for that purpose. The money
found on Halls person when arrested
ut Memphis, amounting to several hun
dred dollars, was paid him by Claib
Jones for the deed. Jones and Hall had
been bitter enemies until a short while
before the murder, when Jones hunted
him up and made friends with him.
We give below one of the many re-
markable passages of Talt Halls auto
biography: cater killing Enos Hylton
in Norton, on the 25th day of July,
1891, he fed to the woods and travelled
through wilderness in the direction
of Coeburn. He concealed himself for
some time among the bushes in the
neighborhood of that town. While hid
ing there in the solitude of the leafy
woods, brooding over what course he
should pursue, he was surrounded and
overshadowed by an infinite number of
small birds which screamed incessantly
and futtered about him, and darted at
his face and hands, and with their sharp
bills strove to pluck out his eyes. 1t
was with great difficulty that he fought
them away from him with brush, for
they seemed as eager as hungry hor-
nets to do him harm. The chirping and
singing of these birds continued to ring
in his ears for several days. But after
he fed to Memphis and took up his
abode in that city the sound ceased to
haunt him until few days before his
arrest, when he once more began to
hear them with the same distinctness
with which he heard them in the
bushes near Coeburn. After leaving
Memphis for Wise county Jail he ceased
to hear them, but now, as the day of
execution draws near, the voice of
those birds is continually ringing in his
ears. Morton Herald
There are rumors circulated through
out the State that q petition will be
sent to Governor Mckinney to COM
mute the sentence of Talton Hall. In
consequence thereofpetitions were sent
to the Governor yesterday by ex-At-
torney- General R. A. Ayers and citi-
zens of Kentucky asking the Governor
not to interfere with the sentence.

that they are massage operators. In q

the sham; but bullets flew so thick in

and shook hands with thousands of peo-
pie. At the grand stand he was rendered

CHOLERA STAMPED OUT
The Scourge Disappearing from
New York Harbor.
NO FURTHER CAUSE FOR ALARM

Even ExiIes from Hamburg Have
Lost Their Fear OF the Pest, and
Are Rapidly Returning TO Their
Homes-The Number of New Gases
Rapidly Diminishing.
QUARANTINE, s. L., Sept. 30.-All re-
ports from the detained steamships at
the upper and lower quarantine stations
are favorable, and with Fire Island and
Camp Low depopulated and the last
last Of the Scandals passengers released
from Hoffman Island, the cholera may
be SAID to be stamped ont. The only in
fected ship left in the lower bay is the
Bohemia, the last vessel to arrive with
cholera. Her steerage passengers were
taken to Hoffman Island and the ship was
disinfected more thoroughly than was
possible when the people were on board.
At Swinburne Island, where all the sick
patients, convalescents and suspects are,
the condition of affairs is reported to be
more than encouraging. There are no
new cases and the sick are improving.
On the Stonington there are number
of cases of measles, and that malady has
really caused the doctors more trouble
than the cholera during the past week.
In the upper bay a number of ships
were detained, most of them being held
because they are from Hamburg, but
on none of them have any signs of chol-
era been discovered. The Scandia, one
of the infected ships, after several fumi-
cations, weighed anchor last night and
sailed for Baltimore, where she will dis
charge her cargo.
The Hamburg American steamers
Dania, from Cuxhaven, Sept. 10, with
ninety-three passengers, and the Slavonia,
from Hamburg, Sept 19, arrived yester-
day. All were well on board both
steamers. The Gallia, from Liverpool,
arrived with 1903 first and 26l second
cabin passengers and also reported all
well. The tugs Golden Rod and Raw
son, of the police patrol in the lower bay,
were relieved from duty yesterday.
Hamburg Exiles Returning.
HAMBURG, Sept. 30.-The number OF
fresh cases of cholera here yesterday
were 1870, or more than the day pre-
vious; the number of deaths 81, or 10
less; the number of burials 149, or II
fewer. The hospitals are treating only
1,158 patients, or III fewer than yester-
day. From Altoona nine fresh cases and
nine deaths are reported. The return
! of the fugitives has now fairly begun
and every train brings in many faini-
lies from other seaport towns. Houses
in the best portion of the city are being
opened by the dozen, and all trade out,
side of the harbor district shows daily
increase. While warning the people
that the utmost care in the use Of food
and drink should still be used, the news
papers congratulate the people upon the
fact that the days of peril are past. The
work of cleaning, disinfection and i'm
| proving the lower quarters of the city is
continued with unabated energy, and
will be prosecuted throughout the
winter in anticipation of slight out
break next summer.

LoNDoNs RIPPER AGAIN.
This Time He Is Said to Have Com
mitted Huioide In Hungary.

VIENNA, Sept. 30.-A man name Sze-
mardy, who, while under arrest in Press
burg, Hungary, committed suicide in
his prison cell, has proved to be the per-
petrator of another series Of murders and
robberies in this city. The crimes were
committed by daylight, the victims in
cluding q jeweler named Schultz, who
was murdered in February last; an inn
keeper at Funfhaus; the porter of the
Episcopal palace at Stephansplatz, and a
watchmakers assistant, who was mur-
dered last week. The murderer was a
lunatic. He had also committed several
murders in Buenos Ayres.
The police Of Pesth believe that SEE
mardy was the wretch known as "Jack
the Ripper" in London. They claim to
have evidence that he was in London at
the time that each and every murder at
tributed to Jack the Ripper was COM
mitted. The lnnatic at Pressburg, how
ever, does not appear to have chosen
fallen women for his victims, and he
robbed people as well as murdered them.
The case Is exciting much interest in
Hungary, and the London police have
been communicated with.

MUTINous BRITISH SOLDIERS.
They Will be Punished by Being Sent
on Foreign Service.

SA . SASABh 1oANtS0s
LONDON, Sept. 80. = The Yorkshire
Post says that as result of the recent
outbreak of &c" squadron Of the First
regiment of the life guards at Windsor
the war Office has decided that the guards
shall henceforth be treated the same as
other soldiers, and shall take foreign SER
vice the same as other regiments The
war office, the paper adds, believes that
the guards have bee demoralized by the
leniency shown them and the privileges
granted them.
Lord Methuen, commander of the
home military district, inspected the
Life Guards. He made an address to
the men, in which he said that up to
Saturday last the regiment bore an ex-
ceptionally good character, and added
that if the man who caused the disturb
ance would step forward he would
look upon the late disturbance as
an act of insubordination only,
and the prestige of the regiment would
be saved. If the author of the affair did
not step forward he would regard the af-
fair as nlutiny. He gave them five min
utes to consider the matter. When he
finished speaking there was painful
pause. The men stood erect and silent.
No one stepped out of the ranks. AT the
expiration of the five minutes the regi-
ment was dismissed. 1t is understood
that the case will be formally submitted
to the Duke of Cambridge, commander
m-chief OF the army.

ANOTHER IRISH APPEAL.
Justin McCarthy's Address to
Home Rulers Abroad,
HIS PREDICTION FOR HOME RULE

The Parliamentary Party, He Says
Has Every Reason to Believe THAI
This Will be the Last Appeal, and
That IreIand's Parliament Is MOI
Far Distant.
LONDON, Sept. 3o.-The Irish parlia
mentary party have sent out an addres.
to Irishmen abroad. The address i,
signed by Justin Mccarthy, and it ap
peals for funds for the support of evicte,
tenanants pending the release of til,
Paris fund.
The address states that the party is
convinced of the sincerity of the govern
ment's professions as regards home rule,
not only because of the course pursued
hitherto by the Liberal party, but also
because it is manifestly the strongest
policy of the government to effect set.
tlement satisfactory to Irishmen. As.
suming that the bill would be satisfac,
tory, the next question was how mncf
energy would be applied to pass it. The
Liberals, both before and since their ac-
cession to power, had confirmed through
tHelT ltdutT Jldb Iue uilutftdhlnB VI
home rule should be their first task. The
parliamentary party did not forget the
declaration that the house of lords would
probably reject the bill, but bore in
mind Mr.. Gladstone's warning that they
would do so at the peril of their cham
Der. The party felt sure that, whatever
the house of lords might do, the day OF
full success was approaching.
An Appeal for Help.
"In the meantime" continues the ad-
dress, 1--WE need your help, as the final
stage approaches, most urgently to save
evicted tenants until the Paris fund shall
be available, Thus far we have sue
ceeded in providing the necessaries OF
life, and so have baffled the Tory policy.
We entered upon momentous election
with empty purse, owing to the needs OF
the evicted tenants, and but for the help
of Irishmen in America and Australia
it might have been impossible to avert
disaster. We have every cause to be-
lieve that this will be the last appeal,
and that when Ireland next addresses
her sons beyond the ocean the voice OF
her parliament will be heard celebrating
the victory which we now ask you to
