YOUTHFUL ROBBER HAS BEEN CAPTURED James Emory Who Held Up Cashier Clarke in Jack
 son is Arrested

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 3.-(Special) )-James H. Emory, the youthful highwayman, who held up Cashier Clarke and robbed Beville x Co.,. s safe at this place last Friday night, Was captured at o clock Sunday morning while in bed at Atmore where he expected to catch one of the first express trains on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The train refused to stop at the station and the fugitive retired for nights much needed rest, he having lugged heavy grip, a suit case and d double-barreled shotgun from this place.
 The capture effected by Mir Bob Jackson, one of the posse from this place, assisted by the sheriff of Escambia County, who chanced to be in Atmore at the time. When Emory awoke he found himself cov cred by pair Of revolvers and submitted with as good grace as possible. He ar rived here on the northbound Southern train last night and was kept under strong guard until today, when he had a hearing and was committed to jail in default of bail. He was taken to Grove Hill, the county seat, this afternoon.
 The culprt took things quite noncha- lantly, laughing and talking of the robbery with his guards and others. The people are much gratified at the speedy capture of Emory.

always possessed by the distinguished son of Barbour, he found ample time to chat with the reporter. MT. Jelks seems fully mindful of the great responsibility resting upon him, and there can be no doubt but that he will make a conscientious official.
 MT. JeIks' Plans.
 Discussing the course he will pursue while in office, MT. Jelks said:
 II think it proper and right that the pub lie should be taken into my confidence. I have sent to the Senate today certain ap- pointments which are made at the instance of Governor Sanford. I will make few others, whose names do not go to the Sen ate, today, all in deference to the wishes of the Governor I have thought that the appointment of State officers should be hls since he must be responsible for their con- duct. I have therefore made certain ap pointmentS of good men-and I can afford to be responsible for them-in difference to his wishes. I shall make no other appoint ments for the present, leaving the Governor to fill the offices as he would wish to fill them when he is well enough to take charge. Any further appointments made by me will be made because of very great urgency, and such future appointments will be made on my own responsibility This statement applies to State offices.
 If there are vacancies, however, in coun- ty offices I will fill them on my own re- sponsibility as they arise, but I have thought that the larger appointments, since the Governor is to be responsible for their work, ought to be made by him, and will hold the places open as long as possible 10 allow him to come into his own, which I am led to believe will not be long delayed. I am sure this latter statement will greatly please the whole State, Governor Sanford having the warm affection of our people.
 ''It will be seen that applicants for office need not apply to me for the present This statement will likely be of some service to applicants for office.
 'I make this statement in fairness to the Governor and to myself"
 The force in the executive office will re- main unchanged as announced Saturday.
 It is not probable that other important appointments will be announced for some time to come

CHlNAMAN ALkS.
Says the Efforts of Count Waldersee
 Will be Futile.

St. Petersburg, December 3-Kwan Chang an attache of the Chinese legation here, today said:
 "It is futile for Field Marshal von Wal dersee to send into the interior expeditions, the presence of which only irritates the na- tives and increases their animosity towards the Europeans. The Emperor will not re- turn to Pekin as long as foreign troops, beyond the legation guards, are there. Should it be necessity, the Emperor will fly further than Sien Flu.
 Tt is not believed that the United States intend to negotiate apar from the other powers. The interest of all the powers, in- cluding the United States, compel them to act in concert. Consequently it is improb- able that MT. Conger will be secretly in structed to act apart from the representa- tives of the other powers. I believe the powers will soon reach an agreement. China is anxious to conclude peace, as this condition of affairs means the ruin of com merce, the gradual annihilation of public welfare and the devastation of Pekin and other towns and villages"

The Famous Old Boer Has Hopes That Emperor William Will

Paris, December 9.-A dispatch from Co., logne says MT. Kruger after he had re- ceived Emperor Williams telegram, spoke as follows to a deputation styled Friends of the Boers:''
 q hope with all my heart that the cir cumstances which prevents his Majesty from receiving me today will become more favorable later I shall never cease to have confidence in the spirit of the justice of the Emperor who without knowing me sent me four years ago significant encour- agement. I shall stay sometime at The Hague and will then renew my request and this time the Emperor will not refuse.

TWO MEN CALMLY WATCHED
 THEIR FELLOW BEING BURNED

Dallas, Texas, December 3.-Screams of agony brought policemen to a saloon in East Dallas this morning about 1:30 o'clock. Seated in a chair, unable to move was man whose garments were a mass of flames Standing behind the bar calmly smoking their cigars as they watched their fellow being roasted to death, were two men.
 Bring some water here quick shout ed an officer.
 "Get It yourself" retorted one of the men.
 Let him die. What's the use Of worry ing over him.
 One of the officers took off his coat and with 1t beat out the fire. The man was sent to the city hospital where he died at 500 o'clock this morning. Soon after his arrival there the two men who were in the barroom were brought before him for Identification. Then dt was that the dis covery was made that his eyes were burn ed out. He was Pate Bain, for many years a constable at Garland in this county. It
The age-herald., 1900-12-04

is claimed by the officers that Bain was drugged and as he recined in chair un- conscious a quantity of turpentine was poured over him and match applied. The man was literally roasted. When the heat and pain had partially revived him he call- ed piteousy for help, and when none came he screamed and attracted the officers.
 When news of the outrage became wide spread the greatest indignation was ex- pressed. The two suspects are in the city jail which is guarded by deputies. They refuse to talk and no cause is known for the crime.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock tonight mob of fifteen or twenty men called at the jail and demanded the prisoner of the jailer.
 The jailer swore that they were not in his possession. They had been taken to Fort Worth early in the evening, he assnr- ed them
 ''Wel.' said the leader of the mob, If We catch them we'll burn them."
 The names of the two men arrested for the crime are Eugene Faulkner and J. W. Chapman.

Majesty's action the shattering of his rep- utation for chivalry. The Temps and Journal Des Debate explain Emperor Will Hams message by the Anglo-German un- derstanding of African questions
 The Temps says:
 ''The Emperor's wording, that he could not receive MT. Kruger on account of his position already taken is very clear. Every one understands that the Emperor, if not actually alling one of the clauses of the recent Anglo-German accord, is inspired by the spirit thereof in declining to receive MT, Kruger. Neither the declarations of Count von Buelow nor of others have con- cealed from the eyes of the world that the Emperor has veered his policy in favor of England since he sent his famous dispatch on the Jameson Raid. MT. Kruger's advis- CTS neither saw nor forsaw anything and they exposed MT Kruger to the check he has just experienced This perhaps, is not the first bad advice they have given him, which explains many things in the past"
