WANT TO BE REPRESENTED.
Labor Organizations Demand Representa-
 ton on Grand Jurles.

ton on Grand Juries.
 Nrw YORK, Nov 12-The World says that the Knights of Labor and tue American Federation of Labor, through their officers, have demanded revision of the lists from which the grand jurors of the county are selected Tine labor organizations allege that too many cap italists and too few workngmea are on the hsts to insure justice
 Both the organizations Tuesday sent to the board of commerce of grand iur- DTS q memorial containing a list of the members of the two organizations which it is claimed are eligible as grand Jurors. A demand was made that these men be placed on the lists to represent laborers' interests. This action of labor representatives created excitement i'll the office of the board of commerce. Major Plimly, who acts as secretary of the board, called on Assistant District Attorney Battle and had Q long con- sultation with him concerning the de- mand. Neither gentleman would dis ouss the subject, preierring that the matter be first submitted to the board of commerce of grand jurors
 The memorials are the result of careful watching of the doings of the grand jury for several months by mem- bers of the two organizations. The dis position of cases involving corporations before the grand jury was followed with interest. A few weeks ago Secretary Kelly of district assembly 49 wrote to District Attorney Fellows, inclosing q list of over g persons killed on the tracks of the New York Central road within the city limits, and asking what steps had been taken by the district at torneys toward making this company provide better safeguards for the preser- Yation of human life. The men killed MT. Kelly said, were mainly employed by the company
 District Attorney Fellows, through his sectretary, Henry w. Uuger, replied to this communication, stating that the cases had been submitted to several grand juries who, after investigation, had dismissed the complaints.
 This reply angered the members of district assembly No. 49, and when the matter was considered i'll executive ses- sion it was unanimously decided to em- ploy counsel, and if necessary, to com pei the representation of the laboring classes on the grand jury When the grand jury for this month was sworn i'll by Judge Newburger and the list dis closed that all selected were wealthy men the matter was brought to head and the memorials and demand agreed upon.

SPEEDIER TRIALS.

Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, recently reelected, in his message to the Legislature of that State which convened few days ago, suggested some excellent reforms in the criminal statutes of Georgia with a view to securing speedier trials and a more prompt admins tration of justice generally. In dis cussing the laws too frequent de lay in criminal cases, the Houston Post says:
 "The laws delay is a fruitful source of the miscarriage of justice in all our American States. Continuances are easily obtained the process for securing the attendance of witnesses is either clumsy and inadequate, or else the courts are too lenient in inn posing and enforcing penalties for contempt of the courts process, or the executive officers negligent in serving it. From various causes prosecutions rock along leisurely for months or years, new trials and changes of venue prolong the agony and weaken the States case until, when the crime has been forgotten, the criminal steps out free man again. Under the English law a person accused of crime must have a preliminary hearing within twenty four hours after arrest. If sent up to the assizes his ease must be dis posed of within three months there after, The law is swift and the crime is investigated while it is yet fresh in the public mind, The de- lays so common here, all in the in- trest of the defendant, are unknown there. If the authorities can not within three months prepare q strong case against the prisoner, he must be turned loose, except in some extraordinary emergency.
 ''The American people could ad- dress themselves to no greater ques- tion than the one suggested. Not only would justice come nearer get ting it's own by such expedition, but the counties would be relieved of large expense oocasioned now in the maintenance of a jail full of prisoners for months and years at a time. The criminals would be de- tered, too, from offences if they knew that their apprehension would mean swift justice. It is eentiden- tially felt under the present order of things that the strongest case can be fought successfully through the delays and technical advantages that can be invoked in aid of the prisoner, who in the mean time, if not out on a ridiculously small bond, is maintained at the public's ex- pense. Governor Atkinson's sup gestions apply with equal force in all tue Southern States.

vorced wife in Martin county two years ago.

goner was twenty-six years old, he and his
wife separated and she went to live with
her grandmother at Mountain Springs. a
little town in Martin county. The quarrel Of
the young husband and wife was kept up at
long range and she finally told a story to the
effect that the death or the children had
been due to his cruelty IN throwing them
upon the floor in a fit of anger. This greatly
enraged Waggoner and one night in January.
1894, ne sought her out at Mountain Springs
and found that she was at the home Of an
aunt across the street from her grand
mothers. There he lay in wait for her and
shot her through the head as she came into
the yard killing her instantly.
He fed the country and the Martin county
authorities employed an Indianapolis detec-
tive to trace him. The detective, w. T. Mar
tin, yesterday heard of his man at Missis-
sippi City, Miss, and wired to have him
held, at the same time calling Sheriff Can
non, of Martin county, to the city by wire.
Last night they received telegram giving
a full description of the man under arrest,
which tailed in all points with that of
Waggoner and Sheriff Cannon got out his
requisition and started to Mississippi.
