AN OUTRAGEOUS ARREST.
A Man Without Authority Charges
Two Men With Murder.

Americas, Ga, Feb, 22.-This afternoon
a man, claiming to be w. H. Hunter, Of
Buena Vista. brought to this city two
young men handcuffed together. Hunter
claimed that the two men were the Hogg
brothers, wanted in Marion county for
the killing of Dave Shippey year
ago. Hunter wanted TO put his
prisoners in Jail until the train
leaves tor Buena vista in the morning
This, Sheriff Forest refused to do. as
Hunter had no warrant, but simply a
copy of true bill against the Hog
brothers. The young men wers out
spoken in their Indignation. Among the
large number who gathered about the
jail yard were several prominent gentle
men from Marion county who
unhesitatingly pro nounced the prison
ers not the Hocg brothers.
p. S, Holt and others identified
the men as James Burdick and j. H.
Birch, Jr, 0 Macon.
They were finally released, and
had Hunter arrested for carrying con-
cealed weapons. Chief Lamar, who
made the arrest found two pistols on his
person. Hunter plead guilty and
paid his fine of Sl5 Burdick and Birch
EN- to be gentlemen. They stated
that this morning they were passing along
the road, about ten miles from Americus
when two men suddenly came up. Hunter
drew two pistols from his pockets and
ordered them to submit to arrest upon
the charge of murder After they
were handcufed, he treated them as
felons, refusing TO listen to their claim
that they could easily prove their
identity. Hunter is a foreigner and
speaks bad English In making the arrest
he claimed to be Bill Jones. The two
young men are still in the city, and have
the sympathy OF all for the gross indig-
nifty they have been forced to submit TO.

RULES OF THE HOUSE.
a Caucus to Discuss a Change to Do
Away With Filibustering.


Washington, Feb 22.-SOme Ct the
think that measures must be taken TO
prevent repetitions of the deadlock IN
which the House finds itself on the Bland
seigniorage bill, framed a petition for a
caucus this afternoon. The paper is
broadly worded, stating that the call is
for the purpose Of considering the pro-
priety of changing the rules Of the House
with reference TO the course that should
be pursued by the House when members
fail to vote, and that the caucus shall be
held as soon as the pending bill is dis
posed Of
Representative Paynter, Of Kentucky
circulated the paper and obtained 100
names, some of the opponents of the
Bland bill signing as well as its support
ers The impossibility of attempting TO
change the rules while the Bland bill has
the right of way, so that a vote on that
measure could be forced was recog-
nized, but when the bill is out of the way,
having been passed, defeated or given up,
the democrats intend to devise, if posi-
bic, some method of transacting bust
ness.
COMMITTED TO NO POLICY.
Those who signed the paper did not
scommit themselves to any stand for or
against proposition to change the rules,
but merely signifed their desire to discuss
the question, although as a matter of
fact, the signers are understood to desire
a change
Representative Paynter has drawn the
form of a rule which he will propose, for
