The negro had gathered up his plum
der and was leaving when the owner of
the place woke. The burglar had taken
a revolver from the house and fired at
the man in whose place he was. The
shot missed its mark and the robber
escaped. A short while later with the
same revolver he held up white man
on the road and relieved him of some
money
The negro was followed by armed
residents of the section in which the
crimes were committed and was ar

eral miles away The revolver with
which he made an effort to xii the man
whose house he had robbed was found
on him. The robber was taken back

ASHBY CASE CONTINUED.
Murderer Was Handcuffed TO Two
Witnesses Who Are Prisoners.

Murderer Was Handcuffed TO Two
Witnesses Who Are Prisoners.
The trial of Louis ". Ashby for the
murder of Matte ]. Ashby, his wife,
did not take place in the Superior
Court yesterday although jurors and
witnesses were on hand. The illness of
Judge H. D. D. Twiggs. leading coun-
sci for the prisoner, made contin-
uance of the case necessary.
Ashby was taken from the Jail TO the
court house handcuffed to two prison
ers who are to testify in the case. Gill
bert Pitts was shackled to the murder
er's right hand, and Willie Sims to his
left. Pitts Is a white man who was
convicted of manslaughter. and SEN
fenced to serve Is years in the peniten-
t!ary. He killed negro found on an
oyster bed, which he had been watch
ing. Pitts was summoned to testify as
TO Ashby's actions while a prisoner on
the same floor in the Jail. Sims wit
messed the tragedy and will picture the
cowardly killing to the jury when the
case is heard.
The murderer hung his head as he
walked to the sheriffs office, and did
not look up once while Attorney Oliver
was moving for a continuance. The
court room was crowded, and many
went to the sheriff's Office to take a
look at the prisoner, who is alleged
by the state to be shamming insanity.
If the theory of the prosecution is true
the man played his role without a
break, while the public gaze was upon
him. He appeared like one in a trance
and did not look up even when his

hand on the prisoners shoulder.
When the case was called Solicitor
General Osborne announced ready for
the state. Mr.. Oliver said that he re-
GREETED to say that his partner, Judge
Twiggs, had gone to bed i'll and that
he would be unable to conduct the case
alone. Counsel said that he disliked tc
have to ask for a continuance, but
that he would have to do so for the
Providential reason named. He stated
the willingness of the defense to so to
trial just as soon as Judge Twiggs
RECEIVERS sufficiently to take a hand in
trial which promises to be hard
fought and interesting. Mr.. oliver ask
ed that the case be continued indefi-
nitely and stated that it could be re-
assigned just as soon as Judge TWiggs
RECEIVERS.
Solicitor General Osborne asked that
the case be assigned for a very early
day, and stated that if Judge Twiggs
had not recovered sufficiently to con.
duct the defense at that time another
continuance can be secured. Judge
Seabrook set Wednesday as the day fol
the trial, although Mr.. Oliver expressed
serious doubts as to the probable re-
covery of his partner by that time
Ashby was taken back to the jai

is as follows:

essary at this time, on account of the
serious danger that the work of the
Georgia State Troops may be curtailed
by reason of an insufficient state ap-
preparation, the undersigned officers
representing the Georgia State Troops
stationed at Savannah, respectfully
urge that you use your influence to-
ward securing a military appropriation
of $50, 900 for the year 1902, in order that
state encampments may be resumed
and other important work prosecuted.
To successfully accomplish this, it is
necessary that you at once see person.
ally, or communicate with, the mem
bers of the Legislature from your
county and senatorial district. Such
action has already been taken in Sa-
vannah. A great deal depends upon
your personal effort. You will recol-
lect that last year no military appro-
priation was asked for"

Rich Find NoAr Yuma.

Great excitement prevails at Yuma over the discovery of one of the richest deposits of gold and copper ore in the history of Yuma mining circles. The well-known mining men, Frank Guerra, Jim Carl, J. s. White, Sam Temple and R. P. H. Laney, have discovered In Riverside county, above Pichacho, a ledge of gold and copper which runs $3,0O0 in gold and ten per cent in copper per ton, and the ledge is from two to twenty-five feet wide. MT. Laney
 brought in a sack of the ore and it is now on exhibition in Mayor Shannes- sy's office. The owners are satisfied they have one of the largest and rich. est properties in the southwest. They are all practical mining men, not easily excited, and are very enthusiastic over the discovery and say. they would not exchange for the famous King of Ari- zona mine, with the machinery thrown

Late Literary News.

Fourteen noted writers were sent by the Cosmopolitan Magazine to the Pan- American exposition to study the most interesting features with view to pre- pairing the most beautiful souvenir of any exposition ever made, from both literary and an artistic standpoint. To "Mr. Dooley" was submitted the case of the Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from Boston to give bird's-eye view of the exposition in his own most delightful style. Albert Shaw and Nicholas Murray Butler studied the value of the exposition and its educa- tional influence. Charles Y. Turner, to whom was committed the color scheme of the Pan-American, explains the methods by which he has produced such marvellous results. Arthur Bris- bane, in his own incomparable way, takes the incubator baby and Niagara Falls for his subject. DirectOr-General Buchanan contributes very interest ing paper on the organization of the exposition. Professor Pupin, Colonel David Porter Heap, Ella Wheeler Will COX, Lavinia Hart, Julian Hawthorne and John Brisben Walker are among others who consider the various phases of the exposition.
 At Chicago thousands of copies of the Worlds Fair number were sold at one dollar copy after the edition-the plates having been worn out-began to be exhausted, and few copies at five dollars-something that has never hap pened in the history of any other peri Odical since printing was invented.
 The Cosmopolitan's Pan-American souvenir will be an even finer number than that of the Chicago fair. To those who have visited the exposition it will recall vividly in the days to come every feature they have seen, and those who are unable to go there will secure such a comprehensive view of its main attractions as will be we'll worthy of preservation.

"Torry Thou Till I Come"

''The Wandering Jew" is having a wonderful revival in literature lately. The first book in this fascinating field was "Salathiel," by George Croly, Christ's words to whom, "Tarry thou till 1 come" Spoken beneath the weight of the cross to the scOffing Pharisee, sets the Jew wandering. Most notable followers of this story were Eugene Sues masterpiece, "The Wandering Jew," and ''rhe Prince of India," by the author of "Ben Hur." General Wallace himself praises Croly's ''Sala- thiel" as one of the six greatest Eng fish novels ever written. One New York publisher has lately issued an illustrated edition at $l.4O net. Now comes John B. Alden, so we'll known as the pioneer in cheap book publish. ing, with an edition in paper covers at 25 cents. To introduce his publications Mir. Alden offers to send it to any of them who will remit that amount not later than September 15. 1901. You can send the money to this paper, or to John B. Alden, publisher, 442 Pearl street, New York, as you please.

The people Of Clifton, Arizona, are rejoicing because they are to have direct railroad connection with Fl Paso. In Clifton last week the Arizona Copper Company awarded to Caples, Powers & O'Connor of Fl Paso the con- tract for the construction of forty miles of railroad from Lordsburg, New Mex ico, to connection with the Fl Paso Southern at Hachita. Frank Powers of the firm of Caples, Powers x O'Con- nor said to 8 reporter of the Fl Paso News:
 1.-The bids were all opened Wednes- day at the Arizona Copper Company's office at Clifton and Thursday we got the contract. Our contract provides that we must complete the road and turn it over to the company ready for operation on or before March 3l next. We must do the grading, tracklaying and bridge-building and turn the road over complete. In order to comply with the terms of our contract we will put construction force to work on the line next mOnth."
 The Santa Fe road will get the haul ing of 5000 tons of steel rails to Deming for this road, and it is supposed it will be hauled from there out to Hachita over the Ell Paso Southwestern,
