me time for the hanging OF Walter
Cotton passed yesterday. Interest In
him has been kept UP ever since his
escape until number of people be-
Reved that he had been captured and
that the authorities had him hid and
would not bring him out for fear OF
lynching.
Rumors have been circulated that he
was in first one place and another.
Sheriff Smith has made every effort to
catch him and has spent money to do
so. He has offered n reward of $3.50
for his capture
On tuesday last a man named Ben
nett. who claims Berkeley as his home
came into the station-house and said
that he had just come from Savannah
and that he saw Cotton and talked to
him. He was positive that 1t was Cot
ton, as he knew him, as he had walked
from the courthouse to the iail with
Deputy Sheriff Abbott while he had
Cotton In charge To prove what he
said was true. he said he hoped that
he might be paralyzed IL it was not
So Upon this statement and the posi-
tive assurance Of Bennett, Mr.. Smith
concluded to send Officer Hoofnagle
and Deputy Sheriff Abbott off on Mon
day night.
They left via S. A. l.. for Savannah.
On arriving there Bennett said: II
VII go see the boss and find out where
Cotton is. When I saw him he was
begging for something to eat and the
gentleman gave him some post holes to
dig" He went off and returned; said
that the man who employed him had
gone out in the county and would be
back later. The three went around the
city together. Bennett suggested that
he would go in house near by and
see If Cotton was in there At this
point Bennett skipped and neither of
them saw him again. The officers re-
turned home no wiser than they were
when they left. They learned no It'd
ings whatever of Cotton. They ar
rived here yesterday at 1880, and a ru-
NOR was current that the officers
brought Cotton with them. All the
morning a number hung around the
jail, believing that he would be hung
They frequently went to the rear of
the yard to see IL u gallows was being
erected, and not until a late hour would
they believe that he was not to be
hung. A number of bets were made
that he would be hung.
The authorities are still in the darl,
and are at loss to tell where to 90

The suspension OF fifty mechanics on the

that the Chinese may prevail upon the
Powers to consent to the establishment of

Pekin should be destroyed as

the dynasty is continued, IL
should be forced to establish the capital

suggesting Nankin. This is copsid red
important, as The Chinese always believed
that China defeated the Powers in 1850
because the capital remained intact
II is also thought that guarantees to
prevent excessive armament should be

PEELED. publicly and definitely to reuounce
the fiction that the foreign ministers are
