FOUR CONVICTS FREED
GOVERNOR JELKs MAKES FOUR
 PRISONERS HAPPY.
Usual Batch of Christmas Pardons Announced at Stats Executive Department-Two Men, Boy
 and . Woman Released.

Pardoned-M. W. Taylor of Jsffer- son County and Theodore Conner of Choctaw County.
 Paroled-Mattie Lou Lgon of Ma con County and Kinney Hudson Of Colbert County.
 The customary Christmas batch of par dons vas issued yesterday by Governor Jel<s, At every Christmss the Chief Ex- ecutive usually exercises the pardoning power in behalf of several convicts who were most deserving of clemsney.
 The Christmas pardons usually inciud- ed those extended to convicts who. in the near future, will be allowed their freedom, after serving their sentences.
 The batch issued yesterday included two pardons and tive paroles.
 M. W. Taylor of Jefferson County who was convicted of grand larceny and een- fenced to one and a half years impris- onment, was onU of the two pardoned. In granting the pardon. the Governor said
 Because of this mans previous good character. his extraordinary behavior during his imprisonment the appeal of good people in his behalf and because his sentence is well nigh completed let par don issue.'
 A parole was issued to Matte Lou Ligon, a woman of Macon County. who was given a two years sentence for as- sault with intent to murder. The parole was extended her because her physical condition appealed to the Judge and the Solicitor, who petitioned the Governor to parole her.
 Theodore Conner of Choctaw County who was in 1895 given A twenty years sentence for murder, was granted his liberty. The Governors endorsement of Corners pardon was as follows: Judge Anderson writes that the sen- tence was very heavey. His later expe- rience in trying cases leads him to say that ten years would have been sui flciently heavy sentence for this man. Conner would now. getting the advantage oi deduction for good behavior, have com; pleted a ten years sentence" Kinney Hudson, boy from Colbert County, who was serving a sentence for grand larceny, was allowed his liberty on parole. His parole was endorsed as fol. lows:
 This boy was charged with burglary with three others. One of them has been pardoned. Two others were only sen- fenced to thirteen months. The Board of Pardons recommend clemency. Let pa- rols issue conditional on his future good behavior"

A MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED.
Miss Raney Became Bride of MT
 Bethune Some Time Ago.

The wetumpka Herald says:
 "A clipping from The Uniop Springs Herald announces the marriage of MT. R. A. Bethune and Miss Pearl Raney at Wetumpka. Ala. which took place at the old Governor Fitzpatrick home. and the ceremony was performed by R. A. Fitzpatrick. a justice of the peace. on the 7th of last June. a ...a-
 The marriage cercnony was entered into by the contracting parties because ot the objection of the parents on account of the extreme youth of the bride. MT. Bethune after making his arrangements to move to Bullock County, became con vinced that the hime had come to make his marriage known, so on last Saturday he made it public.
 'sMr. Bethune Is a native of Bullock County and Is a young man of sterling character and good business ability. Mss Pearl Is the beautiful daughter of Mir. C.. P. Raney of Fillmore. The Herald extends its best wishes"

commendable Consideration.


 It is interesting to note that a gentle man who has installed a steam hammer in a foundry on Carroll Avenue has kind ly notified invalids in the vicinity that they had better get out of the neighbsr- hood, This action evinces a spirit of con- sideration on the part of the foundry gen. t1eman that warrants the highest appre- ciation. and it is distressing to state that the police have stopped the steam ham mer instead of chasing the invalids into the next ward.

CONFIDENT OF CHALLENGER.
Sir Thomas Lipton Believes He at
 Last Has the Boat.

Lcndon, Dec. 19-The Watching World prints the following interview with Sir Thomas Lipton regarding his new chal- lenger for the Americas Cup:
 T am both surprised and confident that we have at last got the best we have been aiming at. Everybody who has seen her says she looks like a cup winner. Mir Fife is chiefly responsible for the design, though Mir. Watson contributed valuaOle suggestions.
 The new yacht will be launched at the end of March or early in April. After trials in the Solent and Clyde she will be sent to America. It is probable that Shamrock will accompany Shamrock III to America, and there all three of my yachts renew trials"

A highly sensational incident oc-
Cured at the Harrison County Hos
pitaI ,hls morning. A patient at
about o O'Clock made his escape from
tne institution in a daring manner.

grouud on the outside Of the hospital.
He was in his night clothes, The
moment he landed on the ground he
ran swiftly from the building and
around in the ncighborhood before the
authorities Of the hospital captured
him.
The incident created considerable
excitement among those in that sec
ton Of the city who witnessed it,
The patient who accomplished this
feat was John Caywood, who has been
suffering several days from delirlum

The incident was purely accidental
as they always carefully look after the
safety Of the patients, Caywood made
the rope in but few moments during

Columbus, o., April 1.-THE last of
the administration taxation measures
came up in the House Tuesday after
noon and evening. The Johnson in
surance bill, by which il is sair $780,
600 will be raised for the State Treas
ury. was passed by q vote of 81 to %.
This bill will be sent to the Senate at
once, and as ii has already been infor-
mally considered by the Senate Taxa
tion Committee, II will not take long
to have it reported back and have 1t
passed into a law. The new bill pro-
vides that all foreign fire and life in
surance companies doing business in
this state must. pay into the State
Treasury n tax of two and onc-half
per cent. based upon all gross annual
premiums. Heretofore these com.
panies have been paying a county tax
of the same percent but upon the net
premiums paid in the county. This
made an unequal distribution of the
tax among the counties from the fact
tDdC llle CeItTUlly lOcHleu cOulltleS
and those containing large cities con
tained general agencies where n gen
cral and larger business was done and
consequently "a larger tax was paid
| there.
The passage Of this act takes from
the Firemcn of the different cities
| the fund with which their pension
departments has been run. In order
to do this Il pan had to be formed by
which the funds could be maintained
and the relief afforded and consider
able discussion arose as to the best
methods of accomplishing this result.
The first proposition was to meet
this with payments from the receipts
from the Dow law. 1t was argued that
this would influence local option topics
and the plan was abandoned Finally
it was determined that.a bill be intro
duced TO require city Councils to levy
n general tax of II half mill for fire
and police pensions. but this was said
to be unconstitutional. When the bill
was changed so that 1t read Councils
"may" levy the tax, 1t was feared they

would not do 1t. Then a provision was
made SO that if councils do not make
the levy, all of city's portion of the
Dow tax Is to go to the Police and
Fire pension fund.
A bill with all of these provisions
was offered by Mr.. Thomas, of Huron
county, in the way Of substitute, and
it was passed. This settles the much
disputed question of fire and police
pension funds, and it Is claimed that
the bill will pass the Senate without
further opposition.
