HANGED FOR A DOUBLE MURDER.
The Slayer of Two sisters Pays the
Penalty on the Gibbet.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 1L-Win Keener, the
first man ever hanged IN Rabun county,
was executed at Clayton to-day for the
murder Of his two cousins, Arizona and
Leona Moore.
Keener was sentenced TO be hanged a
month ago, but a respite was granted by
Gov. Atkinson. pending a trial for lun-
acy. The result of this proceeding was
that Keener was found to be sane His
friends were not satisfied, however. and
presented petition for Communication to
the governor Immediately after the find-
ing OF the verdict. Gov. Atkinson refused
TO set aside the finding of the court, and
Keener had to pay the penalty for his
crime on the scaffoid.
The murder of the Moore sisters oc-
CURED on sunday. June 2S, last. The mo-
tive for the horrible crime, which the
perpetrator intended should be triple
murder, a third sister whom he attacked
making her escape, has never been ex-
Keener was the son of a well-to-do
farmer, and up to a short time before the
tragedy had borne the reputation of a
sober and industrious young man. His
uncle, John Moore, lived on an adjoin-
ing farm, with his wife and three daugh-
ters. The young man was frequent vis-
ltor 10 the Moores, but his visits were
never regarded in any other light than
those of a cousin.
The day of the killing he had been at
girls. When he left he was apparently in
good humor. Some time afterward he
saw the three sisters pass along the road
with some other young people 1t was
then that the determination to kill the
young girls entered his mind. Taking his
gun, he went aud sat on a stump bv
the roadside, and waited until they re-
turned on their way to their home When
they approached, he sprang upon them
without warning and shot two Of the sis
ters dead in their tracks. The third ran
Tor her life. and succeeded in making her
escape.
All that Keener ever said in explanation
OF his crime was that he loved one of the
girls whom he killed, Arizona The pro-
ceedings for insanity were based upon his
peculiar behavior.
In the winter of 1sS4-5, Eugene Beck muir
dered his wife and sister-in-law in Rabun
county ana was sentenced to the gallOws.
but finally escaped on a plea of INSANITY.
There had never been a hanging in the
county before, and much opposition was
felt toward Keener's execution.
Judge Clarke was a contemporary OF
Gen. Jackson, Gen. Lawton, Hon John
p. Ward. the late Capt. j. NJ Guerard
and others. He was one of Savaasah's 5
ablest lawyers, half a century ago.

The Dressing Down Administered by
Mr.. TRIbert in Retaliation for u

During the Progress Of the Debate
ON the Pension DiII-Mr. Talbert
Wins Applause From the RepubIi-
cans.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE attendance.
upon the evening session of the House
was unusually large. a division upon a
disputed point showing the presence OF
ll6 members. Matters moved along
smoothly for an hour or so, when there
were signs of a personal controversy be-
tween Mr.. Talbert, DEM, of South Caro-
lima, and Mr.. Hardy, rep, of Indiana. The
former objected to bill restoring pen
sion to widow which she had forfeited
by remarrying, a case similar to scores OF
others which come before congress every
session Mr.. Talbert has consistently op-
posed bills to restore pensions in such
cases, and tonight renewed his objections
to the pending bill, moving that it be
laid aside by the committee of the whole
with an unfavorable recommendation.
This brought Mr. Hardy to his feet, de-
spite the efforts of several gentlemen to
induce him to let the incident pass.
South Carolina he shouted In angry
tones, MAS made trouble in the United
States ever since the days of John C. Cali

was, Il do not intend to notice what has

that Canada Ciardys native country
having been heard from, we now have a

on the very next case considered by the
committee. Mr.. Talbert won the hearty
applause of the republicans by remarking
In speech in support of the bill: "It

veterans who met each other In the red
blaze of war fighting II over again thirty
years after the conflict ended. Those who

orally those who, while invincible I'm peace

The committee acted favorably upon ten
bills, which, at 1915 O'Clock, were reported
to the House by Chairman Hepburn, and
five bills previously reported were passed.
When the bill to pension Hannah Wright
was reached Gen. Curtis rep, Of New

BRITONs AND BOERs.
Their Relations Again Under Dis
cussIOn in Parliament.

London. Feb. 14.-ln the House Of Com
mons this evening Sir William Harcourt,
leader of the opposition, referred to the
conflicting statement made by Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, the German minis
ter Of foreign affairs. and Lord Salisbury,
prime minister and secretary Of state for
foreign affairs of Great Britain. in re-
gard to the troubles in South Africa LORD
Salisbury, he said, had alleged that the
government OF the South African repub-
lie had made application to the European
powers for support and the powers had
denied that they had received any sucn
appeal This question, Sir William as
serted, auected the whole of the rela-
tlons OF England in South Africa with
Germany. ANY one, he said, who would
contribute to the cultivation of ill-feel-
ing between Great Britain and Germany
was foe TO the peace of the world
The fact remained undisclosed. he said,
by whose authority Dr. jameson had act
ed. In regard to the hitch in the nego-
tiation with the South African republic
he understood that the people of the
Iransvaal wanted TO settle their own ar
tatrs. In the circumstances he thought
the Intervention OF Mr. Chamberlain, un-
less conducted in the most delicate man
ner, would not improve matters. The
best way out OF the difficulty would be
to have President Kruger come to London
and settle everything at once.
A. j. Balfour, first lord of the treasury,
said that Lord Salisbury's statement was
based upon positive assurances received
from Sir J. A. De Wet. British agent at
Pretoria, which were put In language, the
only possible Interpretation of which was
that an appeal had been made by the
Transvaal government for the support of
Germany. Mr.. Balfour defended the
course taken by Mr.. Chamberlain in in
Producing an imperial factor into the af-
fair and maintained that his action had
been alike approved by the English and
Dutch population of the Transvaal. That
plan, or something like II, he declared,
must be adopted II the Boer government

trolled government. lie was convinced

The Steamer Commodore Sails Under
Suspicious circumstances,

Wilmington N. c.. Feb. H.-There was
a busy scene tonight on board the steam
er Commodore the ship which has Great
ed so much interest in Cuban and Spanish
circles. She will carry only the usual COM
plement Of men for a crew, and will be
commanded by Capt. Samuel Hughes, of
the Hart Line steamer Laurada. Her ma
chnery is working beautifully under the
management of two of the finest marine
engineers of the country. One Of them is
jeff Smith, of this city, who was chief
engineer of the noted war vessel Nicthe-
roy, which figured in the Brazilian war.
The Commodore carries large and val
liable cargo Of arms and ammunition and
stores. Her clearance papers from this
port indicate that she goes to Charleston,
but there is a vague impression that she
may go elsewhere.
At 1115 O'Clock the steamer cast loose
from her poorings, backed out into the
river and started on her journey.
Owing TO the late hour and the secrecy
maintained in regard to her departure, but
a small crowd had assembled to see her
off. These cheered her enthusiastically
and she returned the compliment with
three loud blasts from her whistle.

longer. lie was so fully conscious of this
that during the afternoon he sent for a,
reporter and dictated a short statement
OF his condition 10 him so that, he said
the public and his friends might know
exactly what his condition was.
