FOR THEFT OF A RING.
New York Girls Arrested on Charge of
THEFT from Student.

Annie Adams and Majorie Howard,
two girls about eighteen years of age,
were arrested last night on Chapel
street by one Of the local detectives
and locked up at the police station on
the charge of street walking. The girls
were arrested on complaint of a stu
dent who charges that one of the two
girls stole from him a valuable ring.
He claims that the girls took the ring
and hid it under the edge Of the carpet
in room where they were. The de-
tectives last night denied that the girls
were arrested for theft.
The two girls claim to have come
from New York and say they have
parents living there. The ring has not
yet been recovered. The charge against
the girls, which was street walking,
last night will probably be changed to
theft this morning.

THE DEVELOPMENTS
NOT SENSATIONAL
The CoIson-Scott Quarrel Sub
iect Of investigation.
CHARGES AGAINST FORMER
That He Incited His Men to Acts of
Riot Were Found to be Untrue
Board of Inquiry Inves-
tigating Scott

Admission, February 11.-(Speeial.) 1.-THE de-
velopments in the difficulty between Colonel
CoIson and Lieutenant Scott of the Fourth
Kentucky were less sensational today than
was expected, being entirely of an official
character.
General Frank assisted by his aide, Lieu
tenant Leroy s. Lyon, made personal in
vestigation into that portion Of the charges
brought against Colonel Colson by Scott re-
lating to the alleged speech to the men,
suggesting that they take the town, shoot
out the windows, ETC., when they were mus
tered out.
The result of General Franks lnvestiga-
ton was favorable to Colonel Colson, mas
much as he decided from the evidence that
Colonel colson in his talk to the men had
cautioned them against disorder of any
kind, but added, jokingly, that if they did
decide to take the town he hoped they
would spare a certain well-known business
house.
The apparent immediate cause of the
rupture between the two officers Colonel
Co.son's decision to mark Lieutenant Scouts
discharge papers, Services not honest and
faithfully, was made the subject today of
an official investigation by board of Off
GERS from the Second infantry on an order
from the war department.
The findings will be sent direct to Wash
ington and cannot be learned here. Lieu
tenant Scott, however, was mustered out
today, and 1t is doubtful If the verdict will
change his status.
The Investigations do not settle by any
means the differences existing between Col
son and Scott, and while the likelihood of
a personal difficulty seems more remote
than at first. it is feared by the friends of
both that the danger OF further trouble IS
not yet past

Colonel s. w John this morning received
a letter from the committee on local legis-
lation of the senate requesting him to APP

Messrs. t. L. sowell, w. d. Jelks, T. J.

Gentlemen:-Replyin to your request to
address you this afternoon on the bill to
establish a board of revenue for Jefferson
county, which is before your committee,
regret that 1t is proper to recall to your
attention that appeared before your COM
mittee three times and requested to be
heard on the merits of the BILL and re-
peatedly requested the committee to name
some hour when you would hear me. My
requests were generally treated with 81
lence. but finally 1 was told that the COM
mittee would hear from the attorney of the
opponents Of the bin, and then might be
heard provided 1t did not prolong the ses-
sion of the committee later than 10 o'clock.
The attorney for opponents then intro
duced as evidence a statement, which was
but the repetition of a statement published
in the papers, and argued the merits of the
bill for three hours, when one of your
number stated that 1t was long past 10
o'clock and as he was unwell, moved to
adjourn, which was carried. On reas-
sembling of the committee, asked the at
torney for opponents of the bill to agree to
a division of time. which he declined to do.
then appealed to the committee to name
a time, and. on the second distinct request
for time, was told that the attorney for
opponents might speak as long as he
wanted to. and then you would hear me
some time next week. replied that had

ANOTHER KILLING.
Third One for the Year in Dallas
County.

Selma, February u.--(Special.) -Killing
No. 3 for the year 1899 for Dallas county
occurred yesterday afternoon about s
o'clock.
The killing happened in ]. w. Baileys
store at Pleasant Hill, the shooting being
done by Claude Vaughan, a member of one
of the best families of the county. His VIC
tim was s. M. Carter, also prominent and
well known. The particulars as learned at
this writing was secured from a brother of
young Vaughan, Mitchell Vaughan, and are
about as follows:
1t seems that Mr. Carter has employed on
his place negro by the name of Lloyd
Minter, who is indebted to Roy Vaughan,
younger brother of the man who did the
shooting Several times Roy Vaughan has
asked Mr.. Carter If he was going to pay
the debt owned him by the negro and from
this a quarrel resulted about an hour be-
foro the shooting occurred. Mitchell
Vaughan stated that he was told by eye
witnesses that Mr. Carter cursed Roy
Vaughan and threatened him, and that
Roy, who is only II years old, went out of
Bailey's store to get a gun, but could not
get one, and returned to see If he couldn't
settle the matter without a fuss. While
Roy was talking to Mr.. Carter, Claude, who
had been down to the plantation, rode up
and went into the store Mr.. Carter then
according to the statement told the news
gatherer, accused the two boys of having
come to whip him, and said he could whip
both of the ID s. of b. and thieves
Claude and Mr.. Carter then clinched and
the latter reached over on the counter and
caught up a large monkey wrench, with
which he struck young Vaughan over the
head several times. Vaughan fell to the
floor, but came up and managed to pull his
pistol and fire, both combatants being close
together at the time, so close that Mr.. Car
ter's vest caught fire from the powder. Car
ter struck again with the iron wrench and
Vaughan fired the second time, both bullets
entering the abdomen.
Twice again Vaughan fired, this time
putting his hand around and shooting Car
ter through the shoulder. The two men
separated and Vaughan, his face all bloody,
fired again. saying: IT am going to die and
SO are YOU"
Mr.. Carter walked out on the front porch
of the store and sat down on bench,
from which he fell in few minutes. He
was carried home and Dr. Nat Rudolph
was hastily summoned, but saw at once the
wounds were fatal. He died In about an
hour after he was shot
Claude Vaughan was attended by DR.
Riggs and had to have several stitches
taken in his head. He is said to be painful
ly though not dangerously wounded. He is
only about 20 years old, being next In years
to Roy, who is the youngest of four boys.

more, If he desired so long a time, making
four hours for that side. l would take only
one hour, and close by 10 O'clock. TO this
received no positive reply, and the argu-
ment proceeded and was kept up till $3.50
p. m.
Senator Pulley then moved to hear me
this afternoon, and on this motion two of
the fQpr mepbsrs Of the eompitsee present
did not vote at all; when | told you that
as two had not voted to hear me, did not
care TO speak to men who did not want to
hear me. Whereupon, your chairman said
he did not care whether 1 spoke or not
as he did not want or care to hear me, to
which l replied: 81 have known that all
along" and there the incident closed.
AS one member of the committee was
not present at any of these meetings, and
two only voted to hear me, think it would
be mere formaIity for me to speak to you
productive of no good and delaying your
report, and for these reasons 1 very re-
specially decline to take up any of your
valuable time from the consideration of SO
important measure. Respectfully,
SAM WILL JOHN.

IDENTITY DOUBTFUL.
Wrecked Schooner Thought to be the
Emma Claudina.

Seattle, WASH, February 11.-Latest ad-
vices from Honolulu by the steamship Ga
rome make the identity of the wreck that
recently drifted on the coast of Kohala
doubtful.
1t is hardly possible that it is the hulk of
the Seattle schooner Nomad, as was re-
ported from San Francisco, as the wreck
was three-masted vessel, while the No.
mad had four masts. Honolulu papers be-
lieve that the wreck is that of the Emma
Claudina, three-masted schooner flying
the American flag, which left Honolulu for
San Francisco, December 16. All hands are
believed to have been lost.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2l.-By the
transport Rio Janeiro has been received
the first details of the recent Filipino
attack on the Cavite navyyard. The
insurgents planned an attack on Fort
Rice. and under cover of this, which
they thought would draw all the Amer
lean troops to that point, they proposed
to steal over from Cavite Viejo, in a
feet of boats and capture the hayward
and arsenal. Everything proceeded as
planned, and the rebels, in small boats,
were only little way from shore, when
they encountered danger from an unex-
pected quarter.
The searchlight Of the gunboat Petrol
beamed upon them. Then well-aimed
shots from the Petrol caused the feet to
turn about in hot haste, and the insur-
rectos padded desperately to, reach
shore. One 6-pounder shell from the
Petrol struck an insurgent boat amid
ships. knocked it to splinters and killed
every rebel on board. The others were
beached near the mouth OF a creek, and
the Filipinos scattered inland.
