Hades. g.. IS.
An Innocent Wife Terrified by a
Brute Husband ..
With Presented Pistol was Forced
to Admit She Was Guilty
OF Improper Conduct, When She
Was as Pure as an Angel.

Mrs. G. j. Arnold, of Atlanta, Ga.
is daughter of Rev. c. Pope, OF Mil
lersburg; that she was living happily
with her husband, rich merchant,
no one had reason for doubt, and 1t
is no wonder that the people of our
Southern city were so sstounded and
wrought up when q scandal story was
given to the winds. The facts in the
case as brought out in Mrs. Arnold's
petition for divorce, goes to prove
her pure woman and her husband
an Infamous scoundrel, insensible in
every degree to the appreciation of pur
ity. Arnold is worth from SIS, 900 to
$4,000 and having become tired of
his pure, affectionate wife, in order to
secure divorce charged her with i'm
proper conduct, and with a presented
pistol swore he would kill her unless
she made an admission to him, and
then to others. Wildly he fiourished
the deadly weapon until the terrorized
woman, believing che would lose her
life, agreed to admit anything, but at
the same time declaring that he would
know 1t was false. When she came
to herself she realized what disgrace
had been wrung out of her by coer-
sion and at once appealed for divorce
and asked the court for 5000 per
month alimony.
Those who know DR.. Pope, his ex-
cellent wife and children will not for
a moment believe the damaging char
ges against Mrs. Arnold by her false,
traducing husband. Knowing the
family as we do, and having read the
published statements, we believe Mrs.
Arnold pure woman wronged and
traduced by man who had promised
protection and who does not deserve
to live

Killing and Sets Up the Plea

And From the Evidence Return a

Sensational Developments Look

ed For.

On last Tuesday evening, the 9th
instant, James Cockrom, country
merchant with store at Jefferson
vile, one at Mouth of Beaver and one
at White Sulphur, was killed in the
yard of Mrs, Nathan Kennedy about
three miles from Jacksonville, In
that part of the county known as
Pittsburg.
Cockrom had always been regarded
as man of unusual good character.
The place of the assassination was, as
report has it, where the immoral of
both sexes are accustomed to meet
and make the nights hideous by their
debauchery and unspeakable crimes.
A brother of Mr.. Cockrom's explains
why he was at this place as follows:
AT Jacksonville he was conducting
his store alone, and after business
hours were over 1t was the emily time
he had to do his collecting. He had
heard his brother say he regretted to
have to 60 to such house for any
purpose, and that he had to 60 there
for the purpose of collecting an ac-
count against Mrs. Kennedy.
Regarding THE, however, there are
conflicting statements. Some wit
nesses claim he was there for immor-
al purposes.
Mr.. Cockrom is known to many of
our people, and we have not heard
one of them speak of him only in the
highest terms. One gentleman who
had known him for more than fifteen
years, and who had had dealings with
him, knew him as day laboror, as a
farmer and merchant, and during all
these years, If his morals were i'm
pure he had concealed the fact well
from the public.
1t was about 7 o'clock that Mr..
Cockrom went to Mrs. Kennedy's,
and in the yard not tar from the en-
trance to the house is where Haywood
claims he fired the fatal shot. He
claims that deceased ordered him
from the premises, and he was pro-
ceeding to leave when Cockrom shot
him. He (Haywood) had forty
four Winchester, which fell from his
hand, but he picked 1t up, retreated
few steps further when he, according
to his story, fired the faysl shot, the
ball passing through and breaking
his neck and scverini the juglar, kill
ing him instantly.
On account Of the \ suspicious cir
cumstances and oontlifkting statements
of witnesses the Coroj Ter, Mr.. George
@. Eastin, postponed ithe inquest into
TINS death until FWday, when the
jury after hearing Rall the evidence
came to the conclne sion that Cockrom's
death was the rel sult of a maturely
planned and ma qicious conspiracy,
and charged Burr Haywood, John
smith, Henry Haw Eins, Robert She

M'KINLEY'S CABINET.
They Have the Stuff-Gold is
Their Money,
But They Will Try and Fix Up
For the Bimetallists.
THEY ARE GETTING TOO THICK.

John Sherman, of the State of Ohio,
now IA years old, will be Secretary OF
State. John on a salary of S., 900 per
year for 30 years has saved up for
himself 100000, mighty good fin
ancier for John. Some how or other
he has made the people believe it was
great favor to them and so John
gets promoted to give Mark Hanna
chance.
Lyman Gage, of Chicago, will be
Secretary of the Treasury. Mckinley
has said so. Lyman will be 81 June
next, and has been lingering the peo-
ple's money since 1854. He don't
suit the old Republicans a little bit,
because he voted for Grover. He
does suit Hanna and Mckinley and
this is their business strictly. Gage
has his millions and wants more.
For Secretary of War, Gen. Rus
sell A. Alger, of Michigan, will be the
conspicuous figure who will draw the
salary in monthly installments. AL
ger is another 60-year colt who has
won his millions by hard work, econ
my, honesty and such. He has been
a fighter from way back. Sheridan
pronounced him a modest fighter and
went about carnage and bloodshed
with too thoughtful step. He went
out captain and got back before the
war was over colonel.
General John D. Long is slated for
Attorney General. He will be SO
October next. Long is an old.time
Yankee. He has made no particular
mark in the world, but little for him
or against him. Bosting is his home
and he has million or 80.
Joseph McKenus, OF Philadelphia,
Mark and William have put down for
Secretary of the Interior. He is
Quaker, and joined his fathers family
circle fifty-tour years ago. He is a
lawyer like the rest of the foregoing
and has great respect for bankers.
He is also all right on the money
question with plenty of stuff.
Nathan Golf, of West Virginia, is
talked of for Postmaster General. He
is 55 years old, was in the civil war
and fought in the front ranks. He
was run for several offices in his nat
i've State, but wasn't in it. Golf for
years has been Republican boss of his
State, and as a reward the position of
Postmaster General has been offered
him. He will join McKinley's family
circle. He had certificate of a mil
lion and passed.
Prof. janice e. Wilson, of Ames,
Iowa, is to be Secretary of Agricul-
ture. Wilson thinks himself farm
err. He is not one of the boys who
labor, that would soil his hands and
cause the man to sweat. He is of the
scientific kind who sits on his front
porch and reads the papers, or on the
streets he puffs his cigar and talks,
while the hired man does the rough
and tumble, earning all that is made,
but gets little. Wilson is not without
his million.
With the exception of Secretary Of
the Navy this composes the Mckinley
family. New York will supply this.
Poor folks will not be admitted to this
board. The Secretaries are each mil
lionsires, and with this team the
country is to be run the next four
years. .. ..a4.. .......

Tribute to Manager watkins.

Pittsburg Dispatch
Just let me state, regardless of whether
or not l am to be a member of the
Pittsburg team next year. that Manager
Watkins is just the man to get one of
the very best teams in the League to-
gether for next season. This is what
Manager Donovan said last evening, and
it is proof of the manly spirit of that
gentleman. He was talking to the writer
about the ability of Mr.. Watkins as
manager of a baseball team, and after
making the above statement, he con-
tinued: MIR. Watkins has for years been
one of the best managers in the country in
my estimation, and l am Just as confident
as j am of anything that ne will have one
of the very best teams in the League next
year. He knows the business, and. feel
pretty certain that the patrons of the local
club will feel proud Of the new manager.
"Oh, no, L have no kick coming, except
in one little instance. Some of the play
ers got to know that 1 was to be no
longer manager after this season a few
weeks ago, and since then they have acted
very indifferently toward me and my orders.
Had it not been for that l am sure that the
team would have finished in sixth place,
which would have satisfied me. l do not
blame any person in particular for this, and
certainly / do not blame Mr.. Kerr. The fact
cropped out somehow and it did harm. do
not care to name the players to whom / re-
year. have worked hard for the club and
circumstances have been against me almost
from the start. / have hardly ever had
the regular team at work all at once, and
that has beer one of the greatest draw
backs On the other hand, have had some
in their power, and to them l am deeply
grateful"

a 2OO-BARREL OIL WELL
BANNER FLOW OF THE RIPPLE
FIELD STRUCK. YESTERDAY.
The "ShOotiDg" ON Virgins Farm
Near Crows Next-AImOst Double
Output of Hessong Well.

AT Q O'Clock yesterday afternoon Messra
Murphy & Mcknight shot the new well
they have been drilling on the Virgins
farm. a mile and quarter west OF Broad
Ripple. and brought in the banner flow of
the Ripple oil fields. The well will average
two hundred barrels day, or seventy-five
barrels more than the previously best pro-
ducing well in the territory, which was the
one on the Hessong farm, with an output
of 125 barrels a day. Mr.. Mcknight said
last night that the return from the we'll on
the Virgins farm establishes the fact that
the Broad Ripple field is one of the proft-
able ones Of the State
There were several hundred people out to
see the Virgins wen shot With the roar
from the explosion came column of oil
that spurted fifty feet above the Derrick
The gas pressure was unusually strong
after the explosion, forcing the oil in a
steady stream over the top of the pipe.
The contractors had tanks on the ground,
so that there was but little waste of the
stuff They report that there is no water
in the WELL a condition looked upon with
much satisfaction by oil men. A We'll such
as this one with 200-barrel-a-day outflow,
is regarded as fine. The farm on which it
is sunk consists of 173 acres and Is owned
by Mrs. Virgins of this city. The farm
has been more generally known as the old
Henderson place and is but short dis
lance from Crows Nest. Mr.. Mcknight
says the producing territory thus far de-
termined is three miles long and about
three-fourths of a mile wide. extending IN
a northwesterly and southeasterly dree-
ton A syndicate composed of William
Churchman, George l.. Rittenhouse, Viii
liam j. Murphy and Alex. Mcknight prac-
tically own the field for they have 3,O0O
acres under lease They now have seven
wells with total output of 500 barrels q.
day The crude oil is sold to the Standard
Oil Company, which has constructed tanks
at Broad Ripple in proximity TO Monon
road switch. The present price paid for the
oil is AZ cents a barrel. Mr. Mcknight Se-
CARDS this price as very low, believing that
the producers should receive 81 a barrel.
considering the quality, which, he says.
ranks with that found in any part Of the
State.
The syndicate will have another well i'm
Monday. 1t is in the neighborhood of the
well shot yesterday -Four wells are now
being drilled and three new ones will be
started early next week 1t is the intention
of the drllers to push work in all parts
of the territory. The Virgins Well Is about
one-half mile from the first well drilled by
this syndicate.

the visitors did the trick, in spite of the fact
that the home team had a patchwork
nine in the field, and that the visitors were
anxious to win in order to make their hold
on sixth place more secure. O'Brien played
in Keeler's place to allow that game little
fielder to nurse sore finger and get ready
for the Temple cup games, and Quinn Of

that lightning shortstop took a trip home
to get ready for his coming nuptials, which
are booked to take place at the end of the
cup series. Catcher "Bill' Clarke took
Doyes place at first to give the regular
man a rest, and Bcwerman acted as back
stop in order to timber up a bit in the event
that he should be needed in Boston next
week.
The Baltimores took the lead in the first
inning, in which, by the way, they varied
their usual custom by going to the bat
first the run they got being the outcome
of force hit by Stencil, who stole Sec

Quinn's little fly. Neither side got anything
after that until the fifth, when the Orioles
scored four on four balls to Bowerman,

Farrell scoring Bowerman, four balls to
Kelley, a hit by Stencil, scoring McGraw,
another by O'Brien bringing in Kelley, four
balls to Quinn, filling the bases, and four
