Wm. Zeckendorf Protests.

EDITOR CITIZEN
 I notice by. the papers, that petition is being circulated in Tucson, asking the governor 10 remove me from the office of Commissioner to the Worlds Fair, giv- ing as a reason of my not being citizen any more of the territory, and therefore, having no further interest in Arizona
 Without entering the question of the governors power to remove me from an office which hold from the president of the United States, will state, that if there was any truth in tho representa- tions made, common decency would have compelled me long ago to have ten dered unsolicited my resignation. But the facts are to the contrary. Arizona is my home, all my interests and those of my family are there, and l never had the intention to leave 1t fir go d. 1 have been here, soliciting capital to invest and develop our great resources, and ] have strong hopes that only a short time will elapse and can prove the fruit of my labors.
 Whether in doing this, I am benefit ing the territory, and whether after spending lifetime in Arizona, I would abandon it on the eve of statehood and prosperity, leave to the good judgment Of my friends and neighbors. They are able to Certify whether was or was not always battling in the front ranks for anything which tended to advance the public good and interest. Does Arizona want a commissioner to stay at home? Is my place here or there? believe Arizona cannot have too many to repre- sent her in the great commercial cen ters of the east, where superfiuous capital lies dormant, to be awakened to develop our resources, and my presence here can only be a benefit to Arizona. I shall soon visit Arlzons ,and let friends and enemies know that 1 am ''still in Il"

Special TO the REcORD-UNIoN.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2l.-A Republic special
from Texarkana, Ark, says: Ed Coy,
the negro fiend who a week ago fiendishly
assaulted Mrs. Henry Jewell, wife of a
respectable farmer living few miles
outside the city, yesterday afternoon
answered for his awful crime, being
burned at the stake in the presence OF
5000 people.
Jewell left his wife and babe alone
while he came to town on business. Dur
ing the afternoon negro came to the
house and assaulted Mrs. Jewell. He
then dragged her into the barn where he
kept her about an hour, assaulting her
repeatedly. When Jewell returned home
no time was lost in giving an alarm,
and soon scores of men were securing
the country in all directions. The search
was vigorously prosecuted, but without
avail until early yesterday morning,
when Coy was captured and identified
by Mrs. Jewell.
Coy was placed in room and heavily
guarded until the last of the searching
parties returned to town, when all the
leaders held a consultation and decided
TO hang Coy. He was accordingly led
out and started for Broad street, where it
was intended to hang him. Arrived
there, some one threw up rope, but the
mass of the people set up the shout,
Burn him Burn him!
Finally the crowd forced the men who
beld the negro to move north on State
Zine avenue. When near the Postotfice

TO the ground.
Burn him! Burn him ~ went ND the
cry again and again, and it was clearly to
be seen death by fire would alone apDease
the wrath of the people. At this juncture
Charles NJ. Reeves, leading citizen,
mounted an elevation and beseeched the
crowd, for the sake of their wives and
children, if they were determined to burn
the wretch, to take him outsidsethe city.
The appeal had the desired effect and a
rush was made to the suburbs. Near the
Iron Mountain tracks a single stump,
about ten feet high, stood alone in a clear
ing, and thither the wretched negro was
dragged, made secure to the stump with
wire tastenings and liberal supply of
Kerosene poured over him.
a shout went up: LET his victim apply
the match; let Mrs. Jewell set the fire"
In response to the call Mrs. Jewell
emerged from the crowd, supported by
relatives, and walked to the place of exc
cution. Without word, the spok
placed IN her hand a match. She looked
at the negro and falteringly turned to the
crowd.
mo; you apply it, was the cry as the
woman was seen to falter. She struck
the match, applied it to the clothing of
the wretch in two places and stepped
away.
In a few moments the doomed negro
was sheet of flame, writing and moan
ing in horrible agony. Death resulted in
about ten minutes.

Gun WITH A BOTTLE.

Desperate Fight in the ''Old IToss''
Dive Last Night.
Shortly after o'clock this morning a
fight occurred between a lot of colored
men in the ''Old Hoss' dive on K street,
between Fifth and Sixth, during which d
youth named VIII Lamont received a bad
stab on the back Of the right hand.
The row occurred over poker game.
Lamont's assailant is said to have been
one Lymer (or 'Samv) Steele, who
claimed that Lamont and two or three
others had conspired to rob him.
1t was difficult 10 learn much about the
particulars Of the fight, except that all
sorts of weapons were brought into use.
Steele is said to have done his fighting
with bottle.
Lamont fastened to the Police Station,
where Night Clerk Clark bound up his
wounded hand. He had lost considerable
blood, but the wound proved to be not as
serious as was supposed at the time it
was received.
The dive III question is a resort of col
ored toughs. and is one of the worst in
the city.
There were various other fights last
night, and the telephone wire leading to
the Police Station was kept humming all
evening with calls for officers. But owing
to the difficulty in finding officers the
number of arrests made was limited.

PARIS, Feb. 21.-A. A. HAYES of New
York, who has for years made the emigra-
ton question subject ofspecial study said
to-day: y distinguished Englishman re-
Gently said to me that the United States
is now Botany Bay for England. AS
far back as 1881 the Land Commission
authorized the guardians of the poor to
give million dollars in order to ship
pauperlsm to America. The United States
Government protested in vain, for the
paupers reached the United States lust
the same. One committee sent over
5000 pauperS to the United States be-
tween 1857 and 1886. Another agency for
the emigration of criminals is in London,
and is called the Prisoners Aid Society.
So far as | know they make no attempt to
conceal the business they are engaged in.
1.-The Jewish Board of Guardians of
London have shipped, between 1882 and
1856, 1929 Hebrew paupers, principally
Russians. 1t seems curious that Baron
Hirsch, after having made a statement
that he was going to send his Russian
Jew emigrants to the Argentine Re-
public, should be sending them to the
United States.
Sweden and Germany are regularly
sending their criminals TO America. I'm
til recently Switzerland did the same, and
it still requires all the vigilance Of the
American Consul in Switzerland to pre-
vent this. AS for Italy, the fact is notori-
Gus that the worst criminals of that coun-
try are assisted to emigrate to the United
States, and their number is increasing
rapidly.'

NEW YORK, Feb. Ex-senator Stanford
says he does not think the bottom is be-
ginning to drop out of the high prices for
trotters. He is not satisfied with the
average for his last consignment of colts.
and hereafter he will develop the speed
of his colts before they leave Palo Alto.
He does not expect to go extensively into
the breeding of Orloff horses. Next
summer he will ship some Electioneer
mares to st. Petersburg. Later he will
follow them and select some Orloff
stations from the Cars stables He
will select some mares of the same breed
to mate with the stations in order to pre-
serve the type. ''Were L to mate Orloff
stations with Electioneer mares l would
neither have one nor the other, for the
produce would be mongrel breed" He
expects to lower the stallion record to
2:06, and has fillies that ought to trot a
mile close to SunoPs 2:0S!.

Funeral Services Over the Remains of
Matthew ID. Carr.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2l.-At the Ma
sonic Cemetery to-day the body of
Matthew D. Carr, ex-Foreman of the
State Printing Office. was buried with
the impressive rites of the Masonic Or
der.
In the death of Matthew d. Carr an
other of the pioneers of California has
passed away. For years his familiar
form was to be seen on the streets of San
francisco, and many poor and hungry
miner was helped from his at one time
well-filled purse. Nine years ago, when
Governor Stoneman was elected, Carr
among others was mentioned promi-
nently as an aspirant for the office
OF State Printer. His most formida BILE
opponent was j. j. Ayres, who was
subsequently appointed by Governor
Stoneman, and he in turn appointed
Mat foreman. This position ne filled
for the entire term, and upon the
election of Governor Bartlett and the APP
pointnent of z. l.. Shoaff as State
Printer, he rendered his resignation.
Shoan refused TO accept the resignation,
and continued Mr.. Carr in the Office up
TO the time OF his retiring. On the death
of Governor Bartlett, and the succession

M'NULTY MUST HANG.

The Supreme Court Decides Against
the Murderer of Collins.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-After a stub
born battle for his life, it looks as if John
McNulty must hang for killing John Col
Inns four years ago on Second street. The
Supreme Court decided yesterday that lie
is to be punished under the law as it
existed at the time of the commission of
the crime of which he was convicted. and
that under this view the Act of March 81 !.
1891, is constitutional because not intended
TO apply to past offenses, but to be pro-
spective only in its operations.
McAulty's case is one of the most no
torious in the legal annals of the State.
He was tried, convicted and sentenced to
be hanged for his CRIME. He appealed to
the Supreme Court and lost. Then the
Legislature amended the law, and pro-
vided that all exec utions must thereafter
take place IL the prison at San Quentin,
under the jurisdiction of the Warden.
Again McNulty appealed to the Supreme
Court, claiming that by the adoption of
the new law he could not be punished.
The Supreme Court set aside it's Judgment
of affirmation, and ordered an argument
on the question. When it was over Nc
Nulty had lost once more. Nothing
daunted his attorney asked for rehear-
ing. The court had stood four to three on
the question, and the murderer's appeal
was heard. The difficult problem was
presented in every phase, a new and inn
portant element was introduced, and il
has been declared that McNulty must
hang.
Upon the first argument the Supreme
Court decided the new law entirely I'M
constitutional; now it decides it uncon-
stitutional only as it has reference to
Otfenses committed before its enactment.
The attention Of the Supreme Court was
called to Section 329 OF the Political Code
as constituting saving clause fully COW
erlng the amendments. sin that event. -
the court declares, 1.-The Legislature could
not be held as either intending the new
law to apply to past offenses or as intend
ing to allow past offenders to escape; but
constituting the new law as passed with
the knowledge and in the light of the per-
manent saving clause existing in the gen
eral body of the law, it is clearly consti-
tutional as to future crimes, while it
leaves past offenseS to be punished under
the law as it was when the offenses were
committed" The Supreme Court finds
that Section 329 does contain q saving
clause and so decides. 1t quotes the Sec
ton and argues at length that it fuifills
every requirement of the case. Similar
statutes to prevent the miscarriage of JUS
tlce in other States are quoted. That
saving clause precludes McNulty's es-
cape under the new law, which in it's
provisions would be ex post facto SO far
as he is concerned.
The opinion is written by Justice Nc
Farland and concurred in by justices
Paterson, Sharpstein, Garoutte and Chief
Justice Beatty. Justices Harrison and
DeHaven dissent.
Carroll Cook, attorney for McNulty.
declares that the case is not yet ended,
and that he will carry it to the United
States Supreme Court. He has thirty
days in which to take such step.

and were going to their homes for their

save time going home by crossing the
channel in boats.
The steamer Clara Grow, with a barge
attached behind, was passing when the
boat containing the young people got out
in the channel and the boat collided with
the rear end of the barge The boat was
upset, and the girs screamed as they
We're thrown into the water.
The two boys managed to swim ashore,
but the girls could not. James Men ell.

to their assistance, and he caught one of
the Cook sisters as she was going down
Tor the last time. Katie Cook chung to the
boat and she also was saved, bat Mamie
Cardoza sank before help could reach her.
The drowning of the girl and the dam
ger OF the others caused much excitement
at the mills and among the people living
near the channel, and soon hundreds of
persons had gathered on the banks. Men
IN half dozen boats dragged the channel
for Mamie's body, and about O'Clock
IL was brought to the surface by one of
the hooks. Before it could be securely
caught the current, which was rather
swift, had detached 1t from the hook, and
it sank again.
