THE GAY OLD MAN
Now In The Handsot The Law and Will Be
Tiled toI Btgamy.

Judge Thomas Jefferson Mac
key, formerly of South Carolina,
who recently married Miss Kath-
crime Porterfeld. daughter of
Col. Geo. Porlerfield, OF Charles
town, w. Va. has been arrested
in Philadelphia, on a charge of
bigamy, preferred by the young
lady's father, and held awaiting
a requisition for his transfer to
that place. Colonel Brown i'm.
mediateiy telegraphed Governor
Atkinson for arequisition on the
Governor of Pennsylvania and

putty sheriff OF Jefferson county.
will leave for Harrisburg with
requisition On Governor Hastings
for the surrender Of Judge Mac
key, who will be brought to this
State and indicted in the circuit
court for bigamy.
Judge Mackey has successfully
evaded the police in five States
since the charge was brought
against him. He married Miss
Porterfield on July 10th last, and
thereafter it was discovered that
he had another wife living. Col.
Porterfield then swore out a war
rant for his arrest on the charge
and since then Judge Mackey
has spent the time in going from
one place to another and evading
the police. He was arrested
once in London, Canada, but the
treaty Of extrad!tion not includ-
ing the crime of bigamy the
authorities in Canada released
Mrs. Katherine Porterfield

Windsor Hotel in Philadelphia,
and Is very much Frustrated
over the condition of affairs and
notoriety into which she has
been brought. She has not fully
determined upon her future plans
but it is probable she will return
to her old home at Charlestown.

B. & 0. REORGANIZATION.
Receiver John K Coxsn Tells What Has
Been Done.

Here in a nutshell can be learn
ed what is to be and has been
done in the way of the reorgani-
cation of the B. and o. as told IN
an interview with John X. Cowen.
'.Itis true that a large interest.
a very large interest, in the B. o
o. has been purchased by Messrs
Field, Hill, keam and Armour,
as we'll as other influential inter
ests AS to those concerned and
the amount of their purchase the
re. organization managers only
capknswer.
ut is difficult to define a con-
troll, The class of men who have
become interested in the proper
ty is of character that would
exercise a dominating influence.
With them the stock of the B. &
o. isin stronger hands than ever
before In its history. They are
strong factors in the business
world, ana their interest in the
road will be a decided advantage
to the property.
"Anything that will improve
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
willOy the very nature of the
case benefit Baltimore. as this
cltyls It's chief terminal The
,alkof moving the general Offices
and Mount Clare shops from
Baltimore is all moonshlne.
1.-The progress of the re.organi-
cation Of the property will not be
affected in the slightest, Fore.
closure proceedings and the legal
formalities will be pushed, and
as soon as these are settled the
organization of the new company
will be completed. The new in
terests went into the property on
the basis of the plan ofre.organi-
zation. They looked carefully
over the field, and, believing the
interest in the road to bea first
class investment, purchased it.
The question as to the personnel
of the new directorate will be
settled hereafter, and the new
interests will be largely repre-
scented.
"Iheir purchase of the stock
does not mean any railroad COM
bination. It does not mean a
trans.continental system in con-
nection with the Great Northern.
What 1t does mean is thefullest
development of. the Baltimore
and OHIO railroad. The road
will not be tied to any road in
the northwest. but will continue
TO deal with all roads and take
business wherever it is found.
The policy of betterment will be
carried out and the maximum
traffic aimed after by providing
the best facilities for handling
the business.
