Sheriff Jones on Tuesday received
il telegram from Sheriff McCay at Port
Gibson, that he had arrested and
jailed one of tie Newell brothers who
is wanted in,this county to answer to a
charge of burglary. 1t will be re-
membered that about three Years ago
Ira and Wilbur Newell were jointly
indicted with Jim Mcdaniel by the
grand Jury of this county for robhing
Emiinger's store. Mcdaniel was ar
rested, plead guilty to the charge,
served term in the penitentiary and
was pardoned few months ago. 1t
was never thought by the people here
nor the court, that Mcdaniel was
equally guilty with the Newells in this
crime. The circumstances surround
ing the crime and the statement of
Mcdaniel II his plea, showed that he
only received the stolen goods from
:he Newells. Sheriff Jones sent war
rants to the Port Gibson Sheriff and
wired him to hold Newell until the
quarantines were raised, when he will
be brought to this county. 1t will be
fortunate for the public at large If
these men can he brought to trial.
They are " sleek ducks and have
eluded the persistent efforts of the
officers of this and Lincoln county to
capture for three or four years. They

Fore Denied Bail.

BROoKHAVEN, Miss, Oct. 2l.-Ihe
case of the State VS.. j. +. Fore. for
the murder of L. +. Mathews, came
to an abrupt close after dinner today.
Several witnesses were introduced for
the defense. the most important one
being Web Fore, II nephew of the ac
cused. He cOrrOborated in the main
all of the witnesses for the State in
reference to the shooting. He said
that Immediately before the defendant
fired Mathews turned in his buggy,
aud his right hand went out of sight.
He did not know whether he put it in
his hip pocket or not. In placing the
parties he demonstrated that his state
ment as to the overt act was errOne-
Gus, as he placed Mathews facing Fore
at the time the shots were fired when
the fact is Mathews was shot in back.
The defence then offered testimony
to show threats made by Mathews,
and that Mathews went armed habit
ually. The State objected to this tes-
timony, on the ground that no overt
act was shown, and that the defend
ant could not plead threats as Il .justi-
fication for homicide. Judge Conn
decided that the testimony was mad
missible, the result being practically
a denial of bail. The defendant him
self then went upon the stand, and
stated about what the witnesses for
the State had testified as to the be-
ginning of the trouble the day of the
shooting, then said that Mathews
called him u liar and turned in his
buggy and his right hand disappeared,
his body coming in between his hand
and FOre's line of vision. Thinking
that he was about to draw IL pistol,
he (Fore) fred. At this point the de-
fense rested.
Mr.. Ramsay, in an able argument,
endeav0red to show that the crime
was manslaughter at most, but Judge
Conn decided that it was murder or
nothing, and said that though he was
sorry it happened as it did, Fore was
guilty of murder, and not entitled to
bail. The case was submitted with
out argument on the part of the State.
The defendant was granted ten
days in which to prepare a bill of ex-
ceptions and perfect an appeal to the
Supreme Court.-Picasune Special,

lust. has several columns of cotton
yield specials, covering pretty much
the entire region. Almost without
exception the correspondents report a
material increase over last year. This
is simply corroborative of the more
recent current estimates. i'he ma
turing and the gathering seasons have
been perfect-even the epidemic and
the quarantines have added to the
favoring condition by keeping the
labor closely confined to the fields.
There is indeed no denying that es-
Inmates are hardening toward nine

The price is very low, but in the face
of such IL probable, or expected, yield,

MIXED POLITICS

According tO the voice the maNOral
~ of New York has now assumed fixed
conditions in that the time has px-
pred for the nomination of candidates
and for all changes on the tickets.
As it stands, it is Il gloriouslv mixed
up fight. For instance, the Rcpubli-
cans, who said Low was not good
enough Republican for them to nomi-
nate because he voted for Cleveland
instead of Blaine, and favors IA reduc-
tion i'll tariff rates. proceeded to nom
mate f"r controller the only Tamma-
ny politician in MaiurSirungS admin

council Randolph Guggruhcimcr. who
voted for Mckinley last year. The
National Democrats (gold DcmocratS)
have decided to support Tanmaml's
county ticket and the Citizens MON
city ticket. with Low ut it's head.
The BrSaH Democrats. who have uom-
mated Henry George for mayor, and Il
full city ticket, have indorScd the
Citizens Union county ticket. The
daily papers are pretty badly mixed
also. Two Republican papers, The
Tribune and The Mail and Express, sup
port Low while The Sun, up to about il
year ago the rabidest Democratic daily
in the United States, is supporting
Tracy, the Republican nominee, aud
reading Tie Tribune and any number
of other Republican papers ont of the
party it has SO lately joined. The
same paper. under the same editor,
supported Ben Butler for President
in 1884 on II greenback platform, and
is now such ligid gold paper that it
insists that this municipal election he
decided on the currency issue! An

STRUCK BY TRAIN
Sudden Death Of Antoine
Braunwart Last Night.
Accident On the Railroad Takes
Place Near FiSherviIIe.
Victim Aged 20 Years Was Hit By Steamboat
Express and Instantly Killed.

The Steamboat Express" which runs
between Boston and Stonington was late
last evening in reaching this city, the
cause of the delay was not generally known
until this morning. Antoine Braunwart,
aged 60 years and a resident of Attleboro,
was struck near the Fisherville crossing by
the express and instantly killed. The un-
fortunate man was walking on the track,
when the train running fully 40 miles an
hour struck him and death was instaneous.
Nearly every bone on the left side of the
body was broken and there were deep
wounds on the left side of the head.
The engineer says he did not see the
victim until few seconds before he was
struck and had no time to slacksn the
speed of the train. AS soon a. possible the
train was brought to standstill and the
trainmen walked back to the scene Of the
accident and the remains were placed in
the baggage car and take n to Attleboro
the identity OF the deceased having been
established by a postal card found In his
pocket. Braunwart was a German and
conducted grocery at 1877 Washington
street, North Attleboro, and lived at the
corner of Broadway and Leonard street.
Medical Examiner Holden of Attleboro
viewed the remains and decided the death
was accidental.

Many Clever Features and speciaities At

The Opera House was crowded last even
ing to witness the opening performance of
the Moulin Rouge Company In varied
bill embracing burlesque, comedy and
speciality work. The performance taken
altogether was very good and the audience
was pleased with the program presented.
The girls of the company are shapely
and pretty and the comedians very clever.
The program opens with burlesque
satire emitted "a Pack of Cards" in
which the entire company take part and
display their talents to advantage; the
remainder of the bill introduces number
of specialties, all of them more or less
clever.
The principal comedians Of the company
deserve more than ordinary mention; Lew
ii. Carroll is very amusing and is given
frequent opportunities to display his fun
making proclivities. Sam Collins made
himself very popular with the audience,
and haa mirth creating manner peculiar
to himself. Both men gave specialties
which were well received and the verdict
of the gallery was that they were "all
right"
With possibly one exception the vocal
qualities of the company are not of high
order, but this Is overcome by good work
in other lines. There is nothing slow
about the performance and some of the
dancing borders trihe on the sensational
