to speak little on this case" Court
consulted moment and then Acting
Chief Justice McAllister said: "If you
have anything further to say you can be
heard through your counsel on motion
to reappear. Tho court cannot hear you
now" Bailiffs then hustled Johnson
off to prison to serve hissentence. The
woman johnson killed had q suit pend

LEFT HUSBAND AND FATHER.


LOUISVILLE KY. July 2O-An elope-
ment from Knoxville, Tenn has culmina ted
In the sensational arrest here Of all the
principals In the affair." Mrs Matte Lam
des, f1ne-looking woman, aged fifty; Will
liam H. Lowell, a well-dressed man of for
ty-three. and c. 8. Jennings, a fashionable
looking young man. are all In Jail here
The three were arrested by detectives at
No. 1902 West Walnut street, on a warrant
sworn out by G. w. Landes of Knoxville.
Landes, who is said to be in comfortable
circumstances financially, came to Louis
Vile from Knoxville a few days ago, and at
once called on Chief of Detectives Owens
and told him his troubles. According to his
statement. his daughter Nellie, a beautiful
young woman, aged nineteen, had been re-
cetvng attentions from c. S. jennings
against his wishes. He also stated that he
had suspected his wife Of being on much too
friendly terms with William H. Lowell On
July 9, he said. the whole party eloped
taking with them two smaller children. The
older daughter was accompanied by Jen-
nings. The house at No. 1902 West Walnut
street was rented, and they had been liv-
ing there since.
Landes spent nearly two weeks searching
for them before he came to this CITY, He
secured the assistance of the detectives
who succeeded in locating the guilty parties
The older daughter was not locked up, be-
ing left to take care of the younger chill
dren.

READY TO SAIL.
The Columbia on for the Mosquito
Coast.

The Navy Department was advised to-
day that the Columbia would complete her
coalng before night. ard would sail imme-
diately from Staten Island for Norfolk
She will take aboard some engineering and
other supplies there, and leave not later
than Sunday. II Is expected, for Blue1elds
Though she Is a triple-screw vessel, she
will not use more than two engines on the
run, in order to save coal, but even with
these she should make about fifteen knots
an hour. or over 300 miles a day, which
would place her off Bluefelds. allowing
day for coaling at Port Royal, w. l.,
Sunday week.
Capt. Summers orders are to protect the
interests OF Americans resident IN Blue
fields who have not been involved in the
present troubles Such Americans as have
taken up arms against the Ncaraguan
government and become parties to the
revolution have thereby placed themselves
beyond the pale Of protection which the
United States can accord, under the terms
of international Law, and it is likely to fare
badly with them IL the Nicaraguans regain
control of the Mosquito reservation. Little
doubt is entertained here that this will be
the result of the uprising, and that in the
end the Mosquitoes will be allowed to con-
troll their local affairs. while Nicaragua
Will exercise sovereignty over the reserva-
ticn and police the country.
AS this is entirely consonant with the
terms of the treaty of Managua, by which
Great Britain relinquished her assertion
of a protecterate over the Mosquito coast
according to advices received here the
British government is not expected to offer
any objection, and in fact there Is good
ground for the statement that that gov
ernment Is entirely willing to accept any
arrangement looking to the establishment
Of stable and strong government at Blue
iieids that Will command the support of
the United States.
1nasmuch as there has been some doubt
expressed as to the wisdom Of sending
so fine craft as the Columbia into tropical
waters at this season 1t may be stated that
this order was made because the Columbia
Is the only ship on the North Atlantic sta
tion ready to go to sea at short notice for
long cruise.

order for sugar stock or for any other stock

man answering his description had the
original order in his possession. He auppos-

DEMOCRATS in Congress have fal- filled the promise of the Chicago platform to the people of Utah by the passage of q bill under which Statehood may be obtained in 1895. This is a generous act, since the last general election in the Territory shows it to be Republican. We think, however, the Legislature will send one Republican and one Demo cratic Senator to Congress the first time, unless the political issues shall then be very much changed.

THE .SpRAIGHT TICKET.

The Memphis Commercjol 4ppeol addresses the Democracy of Shelby county with few remarks, which are equally appropriate for this county. It says
 In urging every Democrat in Shelby county 10 give his loyal sup port to the straight Democratic ticket from end to end, We mean ex- actly what we say While some Of the nominees on this ticket were not our choice, there is not a single one of them that does not receive our support and whom we cannot con scientiously advise others to sup port. Before any of our Democrat friends go off in q hot rush to the Independent ticket, we ask them to weigh the probable consequences Of their action. Don't jump at con elusiOns or go of half-cecked. 7 Wait little while. Think it over. Talk with the friends and supporters of the candidates you are inclined to scratch and hear all sides. This, at least, is fair and reasonable Maybe you will learn that they arc not such bad fellows after all, and that you can really vote for them with out doing fatal violence to your con science. Al any rate, try it. We know goodly number that have al ready been convinced that the al legged devils were not as black as they were painted a9d are glad to believe that there is no reason for their attempting to defeat the Dem ncratic nominees.

UNBoUBTEpLY there is great force in the points made by President Cleveland in his Wilson letter. The country feels that treachery did it's full work in the Senate by demand ing the abandonment of certain material features of Democratic policy and compelling tried and true reformers like Mills and Vest and Yoorhees to submit or else 10 per petuate the Mckinley act It has been clear that such Democrats as we have named have been obliged 10 make unwelcome concessions to Sen aterial protectors of trusts and menopohes in order to secure d part only of what the country expected. The President voices the rebellions indignation of his party on being called on to accept this partial and inadequate result of all the labor and patience that have been expended in the premises And vel what can be done? The conservatives, as the obstruetionists style themselves, will not yield. will not rise above State and local mercenary interests, and in these circumstances their col leagues realize that further effort is useless.
