ACTION IN RANDOLPH's CASE.
Alabama Legislature Wants Him
Given "a Fair Trial.

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. IA joint res
olution was introduced in the Alabama
Legislature to-day in reference to the
Randolph case in Colombia. The follow
ing is the preamble:
Whereas, it appears that Francis C.
Randolph, a citizen of the state of Ala
bama, is now imprisoned in the city of
Medellin, in the United States of Colombia,
under a charge of homicide, and has been
deprived of his liberty since Sept. 5, 1895,
without being able to obtain an impartial
trial, according to the forms and usages
of law prevailing in civilized countries;
and
Whereas, and for this reason, it further
appears that the said Francis c. Randolph
is now, and has been denied a speedy and
impartial trial.
The resolutions urge upon the President
and Congress that all proper means be
used to have Colombia grant Randolph
speedy and impartial trial according to
law in such cases.
These resolutions are to be sent to sena-
tors and members of Congress from Ala
bama with the request that they use their
endeavors to have prompt action taken.
The resolutions passed the Senate to-day.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. ga natural soan

in the foothills near Ashcroft, B. C. Their

natural washing compound, containing bo-
rax and soda. No two analyses agree ex-
actly as to the composition of the ma
terial. A New York analysis gives % per

tons, proving that the industry, IL sue
cessful, will reach large proportions.
An immense deposit of ochre. or min
eral paint, has been uncovered in the ska
git ming district, about Ave miles above
the mouth of Baker river, In Washington.
The ledge runs from eight to ten feet in
width and between well-dehned walls. The
mineral is Of such friable nature that
pick and shovel alone are necessary for
it's working, and Is of such purity that n
requires only roasting and pulverizing to
prepare 1t for the market.
Ochre is fine quality of earth, In varf-
Gus colors-yellow or red generally--as In
this newly found deposit, but occasionally
blue or green. 1t Is used largely as a
printing coat for paints. After roasting

MARRIED A HOSPITAL NURSE AND

She Has Fled to Her Home at
Buffalo, n. Y.
Albany, Ga, Feb. Erred CasteIe Of
Arizona, steward who has been on duty
in the hospital of the Third Brigade since
the establishment of the winter camp here
is prisoner in Dougherty county jail, and
must answer charge of bigamy.
Miss Clara L. Sparks, who was until
day or two ago a nurse an the hospital,
is the unfortunate second wife of Castelle
and has just left for the home of her par
ents in Buffalo, N. Y.
The case has created something of a sem
sation in Albany, and especially among the
soldiers of Camp Churchman. CastelFe
had been exceedingly popular at the hos
pital and camp and found especial favor
in the eyes of Miss Sparks, who was one
of the most attractive of the score of
nurses on duty here.
They were together so much that some
of the officers of the First Territorial Reg
iment, who knew Castelle in Arizona, felt
constrained to tell the infatuated nurse
that he already had a wife in the state
where he enlisted. She saw fit to disregard
their warnings, however and on Monday
the I'D inst, they were secretly married
in this city. The ceremony was performed
at the home of one of the best families in
Albany, Rev. r. f. Smith performing the
ceremony.
VIII BE COurtmartiaIed.
The marriage was kept secret until yes
terday when it leaked out. As soon as
the officers in charge of the hospital were
apprised of the facts, they had Castelle
placed under arrest and preferred a
charge of bigamy against him He is con-
fined in the county jail, and will be given
military trial as soon as a courtmartial
is convened for that purpose.
The unfortunate girl now realizes her
fatal mistake, and has fled TO her parents
who live In Buffalo Both the principals
had made many friends in the city, and
the affair has created considerable SEN
sation. The officers prefering the charge
against Castelle say he undoubtedly has a
legal wife in Arizona.
