TO ARREST A
Federal Warrants for Mississippi's Chief
Executive.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 10 Warrants
were sworn out for the arrest of the
following State officers of Mississippi:
j. M. Stone, Governor; w. W. Stone,
Auditor; j. ]. Evans, State Treasurer,
by w. j. Burns, a special agent of the
Secret Service Bureau, at Washington,
to night, who has been here for the last
two months working on the special
warrant case. He made affidavit
against each of the officials named be-
fore United States Commissioner L. B.
Mosely, charging them with violating
section 543O of the Revised Statutes of
the United States in issuing the two
hundred thousand dollars of Mississippi
special warrants, claimed to be in sim
ilitude with United States currency.
The warrants were placed in the hands
of Deputy United States Marshal J. K
McNeely. Auditor Stone appeared be-
fure the commissioner and entered into
a persona l recognizance of 81, ZOO for
his appearance at the November term
of the Federal Court, waving examina-
tiOn.~ The warrants have not yet been
served on Governor Stone, who was
officially engaged, nor On State Treas
urer Evans, who Is out of the city.
They will be served on the Governor
TO morrow, and on the Treasurer when
he returns.
The afidavits contain three charges,
covering each of the three denomina-
tions of warrants, with a Photographic
print on both the front and the back of
the same.
Judge J. A. H Campbell, ex Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court Of this
State, who has been retained to repre-
sent the State, said to night:
Il am confident that the prosecution
will end in the utter discontinue of
the government. The proceedings
aginst the State officers under a law
passed by Congress to protect the ma
tional issues against forgery by evil
disposed persons is utterly indefensible,
and can only be accounted for by as
Stunning that there is a total misappre-
hension by the officials directing it."

BILL DALTON NOT E
Only Recuperating for Fresh Deeds Of
Outrage,

PERRY, o. T., Sept, 10 Bill Dalton,
the notorious outlaw, is not dead, as
has been reported. if the statements of
Bill Doolan, who is at present filling
the place of boss bandit of the famous
gang, can be relied upon.
Doolan said last night that Dalton
had merely Withdrawn temporarily
from public life and left the Territory
for a more congenial cline He lie now
leading a peaceful life, and his reputed
death was only a ruse to throw the Off
ers off the track until he could get
away. Doolan says Dalton is not dying
of wounds received while robbing a
bank in Missouri, as reported, and that
he has not been hit by a bullet for fully
a wear.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Skeletons of Men, Women and Children
Discovered in a Virginia Cave.

RICHMOND, Va Sept. IA Bristol,
Tenn, special to the Dispatch says:
Charles Rector and a boy named
Morris, in exploring a cave near Seven
Mile Ford, Va, thirty miles east of this
place yesterday, discovered two skele
tons, forty feet below the surface. The
cave had long been known, but no n
had ever ventured to explore it because
of it's great depth. The Morris boy was
let down by a rope. When the find
was reported a party of citizens went
to the a W to investigate further. In
all, ten skeletons were taken out, and
were adjudged to be bones Of men, wO
men and children. One skeleton vas
found in sitting posture, with the skull
reclining on the arms, which were
folded across the knees. Thus far
there is but n way of accounting for
the charnel house. Old citizens say
that many years ago there was an inn
kept near this cave by a man named
Allen, and that occasionally people who
stopped there had mysteriously disap
peared and were never again heard of.
The supposition is that they were killed
in this inn, robbed of their valuables
and then consigned to the cave. Some
of the skeletons discovered were par
TALLY buried under stones and many
of the bones were broken. Whether
these stones were scales which fell from
overhead or were placed there by foul
hand, could not be positively determ-
ined."

Another Episode of the Breckenridge
Campaign that Almost Caused
Bloodshed.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 11-An en-
counter, which came near ending in q
terrible tragedy, took place in the res
taurant of Frank Davis here this morn
ing. The principals in the affair, in
which pistols played a prominent part,
were Prof. @. III. Alberti, a prominent
Owens man, and Col. John r Allen,
County Attorney of Fayette, a follower
OF Breckenridge. Allen took offense at
the words of Alberti in a speech at a
ward meeting here last night, in which
Alberti accepted the challenge of Allen
to throw mud In the following Ian

by rejecting upon my character in
such q manner?'
II meant just what 1 said" Alberti
replied, and propose to stand by my
statements"
Alberti had risen from the table, and
Allen approached him and in a twink
ling had struck his opponent twice in
the face with his open hand. Alberti
made no effort to strike Allen, but
swore he could get his pistol as quickly
as anybody, when Allen, in an instant,
had him covered. After roundly abus.

"a large per centage Of the I'M

with the expectation that they can
find employment on either of the
three schemes: the new Water
works, the Sewerage and the new
Electric Light plants, which have
been under discussion for the last
twelve months, with as little hope
of consummating one out of
the three as there was a
year ago. The progress and
prosperity promised the people
of this city is long time coming
and should be here before next cleo
ton or it won't work worth a cent.
What was promised before cleo
ton should be strictly adhered to
after election. The electors and
taxpayers of this city had the ut
most confidence In the present adj
ministration until they began

large mojority of those holding
political jobs, when they present
themselves for reelection next

The Last of the Starr Gang.

Henry Starr, the boy leader of the
Starr Gang of train robbers and
outlaws, and murderer of Floyd

Deputy Marshal who lost his life
while attempting to arrest the ban
dit in the Indian Territory, was in
November last sentenced by Judge
Parker, of the District Court to be
hanged today. The Judges charge
in sentencing the prisoner review
ed his record, and was a remark
able document. 1t was in part as
follows: "Here you are, scarcely ar
rived at majority, with conscience
stained with larceny, with high
way robbery, and with what is
worse still, the great crime of hav-
ing wickedly, deliberately and with
malice aforethOught, taken a hui
man life-the life of one who was
seeking to check you in your wild,
mad, reckless career of crime by
having the law lay its hand on you
that you may be brought to a
sense of your true condition.
"You seem to Extraordinarily
started on a career of crime. You
appear to have Intentionally en-
tered upon its dark and gloomy
highway. You were first arrested
and brought to this court for the
larceny of a horse. When under
this charge you forfeited your bond
and became refugee from justice.
Other charges of larceny of horses
were pending against you. You
set the law at defiance. You had
nothing but hatred and vengeance
for it's officers. You proclaimed
your purpose to resist them !;
you defined their authority; you
were refiugeeing to keep from
being arrested. When about to be
arrested by Floyd Wilson you were
in u proper frame of mind to kill
him rather than to be taken. You
did so, and when you did it you
stole the life of gallant, brave,
faithful officer and good citizen,

order, for peace, for protection and
security, and CALAMITY did as
much for his country as the
brave soldier that dies upon the
battlefield. He died at the hands
of one who manifestly cared Meth
err for property nor human life, and
whose mission was death to all
who sought to bring him to JUS
tice.
"By your wicked and bold career
OF crime, you show that you pos
sess a heart void of social duty and
a mind naturally bent on mis-
chief. These deeds committed
by you show you to be the
persOnification of the man of crime,
and in this age of terrible and
wicked crimes, when innocent
human life is so cheap, and just
punishment So rare, you seem in
your short career to have even eX-
celled the most wicked and the
most criminal in the very atrocity
of your crimes"
