MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Confederate Pensioners.

7. NJ. Henry, In Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The Confederate pension fund grew
from 81, ,O0J in 1888 to S67, 800 in 1894.
That is the sum on which the last dis
tribution is based Like the fund, the
pensioners have also continued to grow.
In 1888 there were an even thousand.
In 1894 they had more than doubled
this number and increased to $500. But
for the present stringent regulations
there is no telling where the number
would now be. 1t is certain, notwith-
standing deaths and marriage OF
widows, tha. the increase will continue
at such rate that unless the present
sum is greatly augmented the pittance
will be so small that even to these poor
people it will be worth but little. The
distribution for 1894 gave them only S2S
apiece. One popularity about the rolls
is that they show larger number of
women drawing the fund than men.
Each legislature has continued to add a
little to the appropriation till 1T has
reached lts present proportions, ana yet
the pro rata, while the amount has been
more than tripled, is only little more
than in 1888, Washington is the banner
county on one side and Monroe on the
other. Washington has no pensioners,
while Monroe has 100, which is the
largest number contained in any one
county. The next five smallest coun-
ties are: Bolivar, Coahoma, Issaquena.
with / each; Pearl River, 3; Greene, 4.
The next five largest counties are: La
fayette, 96; Leake, 90; Itawamba, so;
Pontotoc, Sc; Smith, &c. Below will be
found the number of pensioners in each
county and the amount they draw from
the State treasury:

MRS. WALLER INDIGNANT
At the Efforts OF the State Department
to Induce Her Husband to Come Out of
Jail and Waive His just Claims.

At tho Efforts OF the State Department
to Induce Her Husband to Come Out OF
Jail and Waive His just Claims.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia long inter-
view with Mrs. Waller, wife of the ex.
United States consul to Madagascar,
now in prison in France, is published
in the Washington Times, in which she
fully confirms the United Press dis
patches Of the 9th instant. The arti-
Gle says Mrs. Waller will protest
against the proposed action of the
state department in writing to Waller
and offering him immediate release,
and continues as follows:
"The action on the part of the state
department is regarded by the friends
of the ex.consul as direct tempta-
tion to him to come out Of the French
prison and thus waive all claims to a
pecuniary indemnity. They say that
any man in the condition he is known
to be, sick and having not seen his
wife and family for so long period,
it will almost be miracle if he does
not hail the chance of immediate re-
lief"
Mrs Waller, it is understood, will
protest against the writing Of any
such letter by the state department.
She says that with the trials and
tribulations through which her hus.
band has gone, it would be practical
admission of the weakness of the case
if such compromise as the release
should be made, if it had to be OBJ
tanned with the waving of all further
claims against the government OF
France.

GUILTY OR INSANE?
A Paying Teller Confesses to Defalcation
that Cannot be Found and Disappears.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.-Charles
Ritter, paying teller of the Tacony
Saving Fund, Title and Trust Co., has
disappeared. A warrant has been is
sued by the officers Of the company
for his arrest, but nothing whatever
is known Of his whereabouts. Ritter
disappeared on Saturday night after
leaving a note for his wife saying she
would never again see him alive.
President Lewis r. Dick OF the saw
ing fund company has also received a
letter from Ritter, in which he con-
fessed to misappropriating funds of
the company and informing him of his
proposed flight.
The savings bank people worked on
Ritter's books yesterday and up to
last evening nothing wrong had been
found with them. His cash account
was found to be all right and if he
had wished to make haul before
leaving he could have done SO, as there
was $500 in cash on his desk when he
left Saturday night and there was
$500, 1000 in negotiable securities in the
safe. The Savings company is small
concern, and even if it should be fount
that Ritter had taken anything the
| amount cannot be learned.

Brookhaven, Nov. 16.-The trial OF
Jack Yarbrough, alias Charley White,
ETC., charged with the murder of Josie
Davis, in Copiah County, October 4,
1892, was concluded in the Circuit Court
today, after three days trial. Speeches
were made for the prosecution by Dis
trict Attorney Hudson and Thomas
Brady, and for the defense by j. NJ.
Matthews, who had been appointed by
the court to defend the prisoner After
being out two hours the jury returned
a verdict of guilt as charged, and fixed
the penalty at imprisonment in the
pententlary for life. Yarbrough claims
that his real name is Jack Nichers, and
that his mother lives at Cay, Ala, and
that he was never in Mississippi but
once before, being brought here from
Alabama prisoner, and that was al
Columbus. Hon. W. ?. Cassidy, pre-
siding Judge, paid high compliment
to the people of Copiah County at tho
close of the trial. lie said the facts
developed before the court by this trial
showed the murder Of Josie Davis to
have been one OF the most atrocious
crimes ever perpetrated in Mississippi,
and that the forbearance of the people
Of Copiah County under the circum-
stances, and the disposition they have
exhibited to submit to the clear course
of the law throughout this whole affair,
is worthy of being initiated by Missis'
spians everywhere. Special to Mem

for a New Trial Leads Up to Sensa-
tiOn-Attorney shoemaker Held In ST.
500 Bonds for subornation OF Perjury
In Securing an Anidavit " support Ills
Case.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10 The argu-
ment for new trial for the convicted
murderer Ii. II. Holmes was heard
yesterday in the court of oyer and ter
miner, and this remarkable case fur
nished another sensation.
One of the counsel for the prisoner
produced an affidavit in court alleging
to show that Pietzel, the murdered
man. contemplated suicide. Amidst
the silent amazement OF the spectators
and the shocked astonishment of the
court, District Attorney Graham
proved the affidayit to be false, and
showed that Mr.. Shoemaker, the at
torney of Holmes, who offered it, had
paid the woman who swore to it SEQ
for doing so.
Shoemaker was SO overcome by this
exposure that he could make no ex.
planation and at the conclusion of the
argument he was held In 81, 500 bail by
the court TO answer to the charge OF
subornation of perjury.
Holmes was in court during the ar.
gument. He has failed perceptibly in
looks since his trial. lie has lost the
prison bleach which paled his
cheek and hectic flush has
taken Its place. His eyes are
bloodshot and dark rings around
them tell of anxious days and nights.
His manner was not as cool and un-
concerned as it was during his trial,
and he showed an almost feverish in.
terest in the proceedings. AS former.
ly, however, he retained his self-pos-
session and took notes of the district
attorneys argument, and pr ompted his
lawyer during his address.
The argument consumed the entire
day and the court reserved its deci
sion, but from the questions asked by
the judge it seems certain a new trial
will be refused.
