The Habeas Corpus idea.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-Attorney
General Townsend and Randolph Tucker
called at the clerk Office Of the Supreme
Court to-day to take the preliminary
steps necessary to secure writ Of habeas
corpus for the sheritfs who are in custody
for their action in connection with the
railroad cases. 1t was intended to apply
to Chief Justice Fuller for the writ, as
South Carolina is in his circuit. Owing
to the absence of the Chief Justice from
the city the application will probably be
withheld until be returns to Washington.
While Senator Irby was at home, it
seems, he had conference with Cover
nor Tillman and his friends relative to
the South Carolina railroad cases and the
complications which exist in consequence
of the recent action Of the Federal Courts.
With the advice and consent Of Governor
Tillman Senator Irby engaged the 11ou.
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, to assist
Attorney General Townsend in suing out
writ of habeas corpus before Chief JUS
tice Fuller or one Of the Associate Justi-
cos of the Supreme Court for those Sheriffs
now in the custody Of the United States
marshal. In this connection it is rumor-
ed that the charters ofthe railways involv-
ed in this controversy may be repealed
by the State authorities unless the taxes
are paid. R. NJ. l..

He Lends Money,

CLEVELAND, Ca, February 2G.-News
reaches US from the districts lying along
the foot Of the mountains of the actions
of a man who is proposing to loan money
to the people Of those districts at ridicu-
lousy low rates of interest for an indef-
mite number of years, and asking no col
lateral whatever beyond plain note.
His plan is to promise these loans at 6
per cent, for any number Of years with
out security, only requiring that 81 for
every 500 The borrower wishes be paid
in advance, as an earnest that the money
will be taken off the agents hands when
he comes in person to deliver 1.-TWO or
three weeks later. In this way he secur-
ed $50 or S35 from the trusting mountain
eers, who listened to his plausible tale,
and went his way to fresh pastures.
Those who invested in the concern are
nearly all poor people and can i'll afford
to lose the money paid this man, if he does
not turn up all right. which now seems
doubtful.

1t is not going to be 30 expensive to see
the Worlds Fair unless one wishes to
spend money. The best way will be to
get room in some good house, of which
there will be thousands, serving break
fast and supper and furnishing the room
for $3.50 day for two persons. That
will be Sl.25 apiece and with dinner at
the fair grounds and admission to the
grounds will run the days expense to
about $3.50 for each person, exclusive OF
car fare. For IS day visitor can see
the fair and go to the theatre at night and
have a margin of dollar or better for
cigars, etc. On $50 week a man can see
the Fair and not have dull time. Many
a visitor will get along well on Sl5 a
week. There will be thousands of splen-
did boarding houses which will rent
rooms by the day and give breakfast and
supper fol $3.50 or sa fot two. The rooms
will be well furnished and just as pleas
ant as at frst-class hctel. Most people
will prefer an arrangement of this kind.
Those who do not have to be economical
can stop at the Auditorium, the Great
Northern and such hotels, for from IS to
$l5 a day. The hotels will have allthat
thew can accommodate at their regular
rates and they have posted notices stating
that they will not raise the prices during
the fair.

Result of Republican Rule.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary Fos-
ter of the Treasury Department was be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee of
the House for nearly two hours this
morning explaining the condition of the
Treasury. The hearing was conducted
with closed doors and all newspaper men
were excluded, the members Of the COM
mittee saying that if the hearing were
public the agitation of the financial ques-
ton and possibly the publication of sem
sational reports might give rise to need
less alarm. AS might have been expects
ed, however, the result of closing the
hearing was to give rise to more appre-
hension than would probably have been
the case if the hearing had been open and
free. The statement of Foster was to the
effect that there was no occasion for fear
of bankrupt Treasury but he admitted
that the situation was one demanding
serious consideration, and that his esti-
mates Of the available cash in the Treasu-
ry at the close of the present fiscal year
would need to be scaled down to some
extent.
Foster thought there would be sur
plus in the Treasury on July of nearly
$17,OOO,OOO. His estimate in the report
heretofore sent to the committee on the
condition of the Treasury, fixed the sur
plus at $50, 100000. The probabilities for
the fiscal year 1894 were, that in the abb
sence Of some change in the situation,
there would be deficit in the Treasury
on July /. 1894.

Millionaire Mackay Shot.

SAN FRANCISCO, February A.-John
W. Maokay, many times millionaire, q
mining man and the financial backer Of
the Postal Telegraph and Commercial
Cable Company, was shot in the back
to-day and badly wounded. The assail-
ant then shot himself in the breast and is
reported dying in hospital. Mackay's
wound is not thought to be dangerous.
The assassin's name is variously stated
as Ratieliefe, Lynch and Dunn. The
lat st version is Dunn. All accounts
agree that he is an old man, nearly 10
years of age.
Mackay took his new situation with
characteristic coolness, quietly announc-
ed to the crowd that assembled at the
sound of the shooting that he was shot,
and awaited the coming Of the doctor.
The bullet has been extracted. Mackay
knows nothing about his assailant; did
not recognize him.
Later.-The name of the man who
attempted 10 kill John MaclIay is w. e.
Rippey. He was undoubtedly insane.
He had in his pocket letter addressed
to morning paper in which the writer
stated that he was 70 years of age. 1t was
signed w. c. Rippey. There was also
upon him an envelope bearing the name
of DR.. l.. l.. Lincoln. On the back of the
envelope were the words: "The end is
not yet" Upon sheet of paper under
the heading "Food for reflection" were
the words: "Paid Sl5O,OOO for one sap
phire to place on the forehead Of his wife
"a sufficient amount to have saved at
least five hundred Of his victims from
suicidal graves. Just think Of it in
scribe it upon his tomb"
Mackay's wound proves to be only a
severe flesh wound. Rippey has been
identified as man once wealthy, but
who quandered his fortune in mining
stock gambling. Ho had no acquain
tance with Mackay at any time in his
life, and Mackay was in no manner con-
nected with his misfortunes. His brain
has been turned for several years. Rip
pey is still alive, but unconscious and

A Woman,s Murderous Deed.

ATLANTA, GA, February 2-Miss
Julia Force, this afternoon shot and kill
ed her two younger sisters, Florence and
Minnie Force, aged 2s and 25 years. The
woman who committed the double MUIR
der is about 40 years of age. She is the
elder daughter of Mr.. Wad Force, of
Charleston, at one time leading shoe
merchant Of that city.
The Force family came to Atlanta from
Charleston at the close of the war, and 1t
has been prominent in mercantile and
social circles here ever since. The three
sisters and their mother lived with their
brothers, G.. n. and A. w. Force. the
Whitehall street shoe dealers, in hand
some home in Crew street, where the
killing occurred.
Miss Julia Force, the murderer, is be-
lieved to have done the bloody work
while temp mporarily insane. There has
been some sort of trouble in the family
for some months past, however, Miss
Julia not being on speaking terms with
her brothers or sisters and taking her
meals alone.
It is said that she was jealous of her
sisters. To-day, between IL and O. clock,
she sent the servants from the house in

upstairs she killed Miss Florence, who.
was in bed, as she had boen an invalid
for some months. She then went direct
to the police Office and surrendered her
self, stating the crime she had committed.
Mr.. Force declines to talk about the
