mother and sister and brother and the
relatives of Cooke. The governor said
that he had given two weeks Of study
to the case and to hearing statements
and reading letters and petitions, and
that he had found absolutely nothing
to justify his interference with the
Judgment of the courts, He said that
he felt that to interfere would be a

THE GOVERNOR WEPT,
But Refused to Interfere In the
Case Of Cooke and Lau-
derdale.

Jackson Miss, July 21.-The last
struggle on the part Of the family and
friends of Ashley Cooke to avert the
allows from the condemned man and
substitute Imprisonment for life, was
made here today in one final and pow.
erful appeal to Gov. Longino.
As was expected, this effort proved
unsuccessful but before giving up the
fight the delegation that waited upon
the governor subjected him to one of
the most narrowing ordeals that it can
ever be the lot OF a governor to en-
dure, and during the greater part OF
the time Gov. Longino sat with tears
coursing down his cheeks and the
muscles of his face working with
emotion.
There were twelve or fifteen gentle
men in the party, w. G. Cooke, a broth
er to Ashley, being one Of them and a
leading spokesman Mrs Cooke and
her daughter Mrs. Darlington did not
arrive, but remained in Greenyille.
Two Grounds for Appeal.
There were two grounds relied upon
by the delegation to move the governor
to clemency One was the assertion
of his insanity and the other was the
assertion of his innocence of the death
of Wray. In support of this last con
tention the delegation produced an
affidavit made by Thomas Lauderdale,
who is also condemned to die with
Cooke, in which instrument Lauder
dale asserts tnat Cooke tried to prevent
the killing of Wray and did not shoot
and that Wray was killed by Black
burn. The affidavit in full is as fol-
l1,rg.

Renewed Pleading.
When the governor concluded the
petitioners would not take his decision
as final, but for fully an hour longer
they cross-fred him with questions and
arguments and appeals, urging at least
q brief respite in order that they might
adduce further testimony. The GOV
arnor sat patiently through it all. his
face showing the pain he endured in
being compelled to refuse over and
over again to stop the execution Of the
death sentence, but it seemed that the
petitioners would never desist. FL.
nally, at nearly o'clock, w. G. Cooke
began to give way to the intense emo.
ton that he had been restraining. and
this seemed to suggest to the others
that it was time to end the narrowing
scene They accordingly withdrew
from the Office and Gov. Longino re.
NAMED for some time alone before
leaving for dinner.
Every possible effort will be made to
get Mrs Cooke and Mrs. Darlington
to leave Greenville tonight but some
doubt Is expressed if they will be in.
duCed to do so.
Women Pray for Their Souls.
The local circle of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union held a
meeting yesterday evening at which
feryent prayers were offered for the
salvation Of the souls of Cooke and
Lauderdale, who are under sentence
to die on the gallows tomorrow at
Greenville, Miss. The prayers were
led by Mrs Hebron. No petition was
sent up for the commuation of their
sentences or to save them from death,
but only for the salvation of their
souls and for their full repentance OF
the crime for which they are to suffer.

A "Nlgger" In the Wood Pile.

The commissioners have issued a
call for a meeting of the county coun-
Gil in this city next Friday.
The commissioners, which means
Henry farrell and Fred Seider. want
the county council to appropriate SIX
Thousand dollars to build a county or
phans' home. This will pave
for the way for the expenditure of
many thousands which the tax payers
will be called upon to pay.
One Of the best orphans homes in
the United States is now located in
Marshall County and the county has
no more need of an orphans home
than wagon has need of five wheels
The taxpayers will have to pay
$40, 900 for building and grounds,
and will be called upon to pay several
Thousand dollars more every year
thereafter than it costs TO have the
orphans cared for on the present plan.

The alum baking powders are usu-

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Flames Wipe Out the Electric Plant and
Damage Many Other Buildings.

At 2:45 p. m. Tuesday the alarm of
fire startled the citizens of Plymouth,
The roof of the electric light plant
had caught fire, it is supposed from
sparks of an engine switching near it;
the wind was blowing gale of almost
| fifty miles an hour and the whole
building was enveloped> in flames when
the department began throwing water.
Elliott'S wagon shop was soon on fire
and the wind carried burning faggots
across the river and over the McKelvy
building across Laporte street TO the
ice houses, shops and barns east of the
business houses on Michigan street.
The electric light plant was soon
burned down Chaney's ice houses,
Elliott'S wagon shop, Williams and
LindquiSt'S blacksmith shops, two
barns were in flames and soon burned
down while a half-dozen other build
ingS were on fire.
1t seemed for a time that the en-
tire residence portion of the city east
of Michigan street was doomed, but
firemen and citizens did heroic work
and within an hour the fire was under
control.
a horse belonging to Mr.. Burwell
bnrned to death and another was so
badly burned that it had to be killed.
Mr.. Burwell's residence on Water
street was almost entirely destroyed,
and several other residences were
badly damaged.
The Electric light plant was en-
.tirely destroyed entailing a loss of
perhaps $4,000.
Mr.. Simons informs us that new
plant will be erected at once. Until
then Plymouth will have to get along
with old fashioned lights.
The Windsor house, which was only
40 yards south of the electric light
plant and directly in the path of the
fire, was saved while buildings more
than hundred yards further north
were burned. The Brown barn also
seemingly in the path of the fire
escaped; the wind carrying the burn
ing faggots over 1t.
The fire was bad enough, but it
might have been great deal worse.
If the Windsor house and Brown s
feed barn had burned it would have
been been hardly possible to save half
the east side of town.
The heaviest losers outside of the
NJ. w. SimonS Electric Light Com
pany are CLANCY Bros. and Lindquist
& Miller, Mr.. Burwell probably comes
next. There was no insurance on any
of the buildings burned except the
electric light plant, which was almost
fully covered by insurance.
Lindquist & Miller estimate their
loss at about 81, 500. George Williams
and A. p. Elliott lose several hun
dred dollars, as does Mr.. Burwell.
More than half score of buildings
were damaged by fire and water.
Some of them were insured.
Chaney's damage cannot be esti-
mated at present, but they are max
ing the best of it.; ali the hands that
can find room to work are busy put
ing new building over the ice.
A new electric lsght plant will soon
be installed and while many individu-
ais lose the city will gain by the
| fire.
The loss to individuals will be in
the nelghborhoOd of 100000.
