WANT BIG MEN,
State Officials of Mississippi to
Be Arrested.
Charged With Violating United
States Statutes,
IN ISSUING 100000
Of Mississippi Special Warrants
in Imitation of Money.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept 11.-Warranta
were Yesterday sworn out for the
arrest of the following state officers
of Mississippi:
J. NJ. Stone, governor; w W. Stone,
auditor, and ]. J. Evans; state treas
urer. William J. Burns, special agent
of the secret service bureau at Wash
ington, who has been here for the
past two months on the special war
rant case, has made affidavit before
Commissioner L. b. Mosely, charging
them with violating section 5,43o Of
the revised statutes of the United
States in issuing $500, 900 Mississippi
special warrants, charged to be in the
similitude of United States currency.
The warrant was placed in the hands
Of United States Marshal J. McNealy.
Auditor Stone appeared before the
commissioner and entered into per-
sonal cognizance for 81, 900 for his
appearance at the November term of
the circuit court, waving examlna-
ton The warrants have not been
served on Governor Stone, who wa
officially engaged, nor on State
Treasurer Evans, who is out of the
city They will be served on the
governor to-day and on the treasurer
when he returns. The affidavit
contains three charges tanning
warrants with photograph print of
both the front and back of the same.
These charges allege that on the 18th
day Of June, 1894, the aforesaid men,
toned state officials did unla wfully
and feloniously at Jackson, Miss, and
not by dire ction of any proper officer
of the United States, print, photo
graph, make and caused to be printed,
photographs, prints or impressions OF
the likeness OF national bank currency
Of said United States
The state officers have been expect
ing these proceedings for several days
and were not therefore the least sur
prised when served They appeared
not al all disturbed and are sanguine
of the successful termination of the
issue.
The first demand made by the
United States government was a few
days ago, when Special Officer Burnes
demanded the cancelled plates from
which the warrants were printed
His demand was refused. He wired
the result to Washington and re-
ceived instructions to swear out war
rants for the arrest of the officials.
Governor Stone was seen, and said
the state officials had no purpose to
violate any United States law, and
that he did not believe that such law
had been violated; that the matter
was now to come before a court for
which he had the greatest respect
and in which he had the utmost con-
hdence. He did not, there fore, care
to publicly discuss the matter

and A. J. McLaurin and ex-C Chief JUS

M'NULTY'S RAY OF HOPE.
Judge Murphy Does Not Insist on the
Death Penalty.
Governor Markham VIII Render His
Decision To-Day-He May Com
mute the Sentence.

There appears to be rift in the
clouds that have been lowering over the
head of McNulty.
In response to a telegram yesterday
from Governor Markham, Judge Muir
ply, who first sentenced John McNulty
six years ago to hang for the murder of
James Collins, came up from San Fran
cisco on the local train last night. With
Mayor Ellert he was closeted with the
Governor till near midnight
The subject of Communication of the sem
tence to Imprisonment for life was fully
gone over, and Mayor Ellert laid before
the Governor the statement on which he
based his application for commutation.
What was said in detail is only known
to those present, but in conversation with
a RECoRD-U UNION reporter afterward
Governor Markham said that Judge Muir
ply was OF the opinion that under the
circumstances a Communication of Nc
Nulty's sentence to Imprisonment for
life might subserve the ends of justice.
AS to what conclusion he had come to
the Governor did not wish to say at pres
ent, but stated that he would probably
make known his final decision some time
to-day.
He is thoroughly worn out with the
anxiety and responsibility which has
been so intensified for the past few days,
and it will be not less a relief to him than
to McNulty and his friends when his de-
cision is finally announced.
Judge Murphy was also seen by the
reporter, but he declined to talk on the
subject. further than to say that the mat
ter would be settled by the Governor to-
day.
The fact, however, that he had ex-
pressed to the Governor the sentiment
above quoted has considerable signiti-
cance Before leaving San Francisco yes
terday he informed some officials who
waited on him that the throwing of the
entire responsibility of the fate OF the con-
demned man upon his shoulders was
more than he desired to bear; and if he
has come to the conclusion that life SEN
tence would, under the circumstances,
subserve the ends of justice, it looks as if
there were some grounds for the belief
that Governor MAJ ham may recede from
the position he has heretofore taken.
The Governor intimated last night that,
while his personal convictions IN the case
had not undergone any change, public
sentiment appeared to be the other way.
All, or nearly all, the Supreme Justices
had asked for leniency, as also had many
Superior Judges, the Mayor, District At
torney and other high officials of San
Francisco, to say nothing of the thousands
of private citizens who have done like
wise, and now the committing Judge has
also come to the conclusion that the de-
mands of justice might be answered by
committing the prisoners sentence.

MARRIED THE FOUR SISTERS.
A TenneSSeean Divorced from Three O
Them but Now Happily Mated.

A TennesSeean Divorced from Three of
Them but Now Happily Mated.
Living in the mountains near Muir
freesbOro, Tenn, says correspondent of
the Philadelphia Tunes, is a family which
has a singular history in a matrimo onial
way. The father owns little farm and
four daughters, or did own the latter. a
man named Phillips, about fifteen years
ago, married the eldest of the daughters,
and after a few years of married life the
lady ran away with the husbands sworn
enemy. He procured divorce from her
and wooed the second sister and took her
home, but the next day the woman
turned up at home and said she wouldn't
live with Phillips, and after time sue
ceeded in getting legally free from him.
Then the third sister, undaunted by what
had gone before, married the husband Of
her two sisters.
Soon after this the fellow was sent to
the penitentary for an otfense that kept
him there three years, and when he came
out be found that his wife'S tickle fancy
had strayed while he was absent and had
fixed itself upon neighbor, John Calla-
han. BY law she was entitled to divorce
from her husband, as he was convicted
felon, so getting it she married her lover.
In the meantime the first wife had found
that the man with whom she had eloped
would not marry her after Phillips had
divorced her, and returned home. Then
Mrs. Callahan wandered back to her
father, for her husband No. could not
or would not support her. So in this
way the old man had once more his four
daughters on his hand, and Phillips was
still free.
The youngest daughter was now about
Is, and she also fell victim to the fasci-
nation the man Phillips appears to have
exerted over them all at first, and becom-
ing infatuated with him, consented
to marry him. Phillips went to the
father for the fourth time to ask for
a daughters hand, and was told that
he might have her on condition
that he kept her. Phillips promised, and
the ceremony was to take place the follow
ing night, when the ex-wives, growing jeal-
Gus, armed themselves and swore that the
marriage should never take place, so Phil
lips rode to town and swore out warrant
against the sisters, telling of their threats.
The women were then sworn to keep the
peace, but Phillips thought it prudent
to run away with his bride to Ken
lucky and marry her there. This time
his matrimonial venture seems to have
terminated happily, for he has three
children and is prospering.

The Emperor and EX-ChancelIor Soon

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-The Emperor sent
Bismarck bottle of very old wine, with
an autograph letter congratulating him
on his recovery from his recent illness.
Bismarck sent a reply saying he would
call on the Emperor next week. The
greatest importance is attached through
out Germany to the reconciliation. espe-
cially in regard to its effect on the in
ternal policy of the Government. 1t is
being announced that Bismarck is in full
accord with Caprivi and Bieherstein. The
agrarians are downcast, but commercial
circles rejoice. a general rise in stocks
followed the announcement. Everywhere
there is evidence of rejoicing at the recon-
ciliation between the Emperor and the

The Fish Hawk.

Careful observers have noticed that
fish hawk. after securing its prey, will
often rise very high in the air, drop the
fish. quickly swoop down upon and
seize it, and then fly homeward. The OBJ
ject of this. as explained by an old skip
per in the Lower Bay OF New York, is to
get the fish ''head on,' as a hawk will
never fly with the tail of its prey fore
most. So, if it has caught it that way,
giving it a twirl it drops it and seizes it
again with the head pointing in the
right direction.
