ON A SECOND WARRANT.
Chris Coleas the Greek Wife Murderer,
Who Was Acquitted Tuesday, Is Re-
arrested On the Same Charge.

Chris Coleas is again behind the prison
bars, and will have to answer to the
charge of murder.
It will be RENE mbered that Coleas,
some years ago, married Matte Henry,
a one time a widelyknown courtesan Of
this city They lived together for while
and finally their family jars began to
get numerous and more and more se7
rious.
At about 7 o'clock on the evening Of
February II, last, Chris shot his wife,
killing her almost instantly, and sent a
bullet into his own stomach. AT the
time 1t was claimed thar another man
was in the room with Matte Henry and
that Coleas only pursued the same cours
that any other outraged husband would
have done.
While he was in the Hillman hospital,
during his treatment by the physicians,
officer Disheroon was detailed to guard
him, and swore out the first warrant in
order to transfer the Greek to che sheriff.
Last Tuesday Coleas was tried before
Justice Charles ]. Martin all of which
has been told in the State Herald, and
released on the plea of temporary insan-
ity. AS soon as he was released he made
preparations to leave this city, which
he did early Tuesday night.
Deputy Sheriff Robert G. Waldrop
boarded the Louisville and Nashville
train at 1922 O'clock and looked for Col
cas- At Boyles the Greek got aboard, but
Deputy Waldrop did not see him in time,
and was compelled to go to Cullman, the
next stop made by the train, where he
and his prisoner got off and returned to
Birmingham on the first train. They ar
rived here shortly after o'clock yester-
day morning, and Coleas was again
locked up in ;he county Jail.
officer Disheroon swore out the second
warrant, under instructions. before JUS
tice l. H. Benners.
1t is said that Coleas was on his way
to Greece, but this he denies, and says
that he intended to go to Nashville. II
is also said that ticket to New York
was found in his pocket.
The circuit court grand jury investi-
gated the case yesterday afternoon. but
did not return a true bill at the hour of
adjournment 1t is probable that such
will be done this morning.

Instead of going down to join them
Smith took off his shoes and threw him
self across the bed with his clothes on
and went to sleep. At noon yesterday
Mrs. Kate Kelley the proprietress, sent
to his room to have him walked up for
dinner Then 1t was found that he was

The wntson-sIack contest.


The report OF the elections committee
a republican committee-removes the i'm
preston from the public mind that there
is a great deal Of fraud in the elections
in this state. Mr.. Watson is a populist,
and Mr.. Black is a democrat and the
majority Of the elections committee is
republican. It is fair to presume there
fore that the report of the committee is
an unbiased one There are reasons for
thinking that if the committee had been
inclined to favor either of the contest
ants it would have favored Mr. Watson.
The fact that it reported that there was
no fraud committed that was worthy of
notice ought TO satisfy the republican
party that elections in Georgia are as fair
as they are in any other state, and it
ought to convince the populists of this
state that there was no foundation for the
reports that Mr.. Blacks election was Sc
cured by fraud
No doubt many well meaning populsts
believed the stories that the ballot boxes
were stuffed in Mr.. Blacks interest and
that names were put on the registration
list fraudulently by those working in his
interest. The stories were repeated so
often and with so much sincerity that
they could hardly help believing them
but it turns out that they had no founda-
lion. Mr.. Watson and his friends would
not have failed to produce the evidence
to sustain them if they could have done
so. And we are inclined to think the
committee would have welcomed an OPP
portunity to show that elections in the
south are not as free. fair and honest as
they are in other sections of the country
1t could not find, however, any evidence
on which to base a report averse to Mr.
Black. It was compelled to announce
that he was fairly and honestly elected
For years it has been the policy of the
republicans to declare that elections in
the south are fraudulent, and since the
popuists have become strong in the south
they have adopted a similar policy. After
the last state election in this state the
populists declared the election was not a
fair one, but they did not undertake to
show wherein it was not fair. Now that
it has been officially declared that Mr.
Black of the Tenth congressional dis
trict-a district in which they are especial
ly strong-was fairly elected, the fair
minded men among them cannot avoid
the conclusion that they have been mis-
taken all along in the belief that their
party has not received honest treatment
at the ballot box.
This report of a republican committee of
congress, after an exhaustive investiga,
ton, relieving as it does the democratic
party of the Tenth congressional district
of the charge of fraudulent election prac-
tees, will go a long way towards cor
recting the impression that elections in
the south are, as a general thing, fraud
ulent. In the matter of elections the south
is fully as clean as any other section. In
fact, there is reason for thinking il Is
even cleaner.

Sitting on the balcony of the Tampa
Bay hotel this morning. says a CORE
spondent of the Chicago Record fell
low-guest related a curious incident of
the Worlds Fair, of which he had per-
sonal knowledge, but which seems to have
escaped the lynx-eyed press of that city.
lie said that he went TO Chicago in Oc-
Iober 1893 in company with Mr.. Marcus
conrad, who had the contract for build
ing the jetties beyond Fernandna, at the
NOUN OF the 81. Johns river, and his
FAMILY. Mr.. Conrad had been an officer
IN the union army during the civil war,
ana for many months was an inmate of
Libby prison. So the morning after he
arrived in Chicago he insisted on going
down TO Libby prison before he went to
the fair. When he passed the sentinel at
the gate in Wabash avenue he asked for
the manager and told him his association
with the place. The manager showed him
around, and the party listened patiently
to his "reminiscences, until Mr.. Conrad
became very much excited He was a
full-blooded man, the day was unusually
warm, and he showed signs of unnatural
agitation, which his friends attributed TO
the flood of recollections that were
aroused by the old building. When they
entered a certain room upstairs Mr.. Con-
rad exclaimed
This is the place! For eleven weary,
hungry months l was imprisoned in this
room, and in that corner over there 1
slept every night l have a notion to lie
down again upon the old boards to see if
they are as hard as they used to be- and
suiting the action to the word, he kneeled
upon the floor, rolled over upon his back,
stretched out his legs, remarked, This
seems like old times" folded his arms
over his breast and shut his eyes.
Mr.. Conrad's friends naturally did not
take as much interest in this dramatic
proceeding as he did, and wandered out
Of the room, leaving him lying on the
floor. After they had seen the rest OF
the building they went back to look for
him, and found him dead, lying exactly
in the same posture he had originally as
sumed. The doctors said that in lying
down he had burst blood vessel in his
brain

Lord Tennyson was a subject of wonder
to many country people, says London An
swers. His slouched hat shocked their
ideas of propriety and his long cloak
invested him with a kind of supernatural
mystery.
That they had rather vague ideas OF
his occupation is illustrated by the an
sweT of a Freshwater lad to a lady, who
asked If he knew Mr.. Tennyson.
Yes" he replied ''he makes poets for
the queen"
What do you mean?"
Il don't know what they means, but
p'Hcemen sees him walking about a-mak-
ing of 'em under the stars
Bishop Wilberforce states that when
walking one day near Aldworth, where
TennysOu had a residence. he met a labor
ing man from whom it occurred to him to
draw some opinion of the poet
Mr.. Tennyson lives here, does he not?'
was his first remark.
Yes, he does"

and he doesn't sleep in the house."
