FAITHFUL TO TIE LAST


A sud feature of the execution
of Will Mathis, murderer Of
considerable note, 1T Oxford,
Miss, Thursday, says the Arkan-
sas Democrat, was the confidence
and fidelity manifested by his
young and innocent wife. 1t was
related IN the dispatches giving an
account nf the execution that
from early morning until nearly
IL O'Clock, Mrs. Mathis sat on the
ground beneath her husbands cell
and held such conversation with
him as the distance made possible.
Often their utterauces were unin-
telllgiblc to each other, owing to
the distance, and the little woman
wept continually as she attempt-
cd to exchange the final words
with the criminal whose form was
only diml, outlined behind the
closely latticed bars of the Jail.
MRS. Mathis is not unprepos-
sessing in appearance. on the CON
trary, she has many Of the cIe-
ments of beauty, although not
+moldcd in fashions form or con-
versant with the ever-changina
styles and apparel of the feminine
gender. But her brown eyes are
lustrons and full of expression.
her complexion is clear aud beau
tiful, and even, white teeth show
clearly behind perfectly formed
lips of redness.
With the advantages of culture
and fashion she could have been
a rcigning beauty"
Thus will woman cling to an
unworthy man when all others
have forsaken him. Her love will
shine forth as clear as the noon
day sun when the wretch stands
in the shadow of the gallows. She
will suffer the greatest indignitics
at his hands aud still sue for his
favor.
No better example of her noble
qualities, of her fidelity to a trust
and of the Christian-like spirit
which prompts the forgiveness of
any wrong can be found than in
this humble little woman who sat
all night on the ground under the
cell window of her criminal hus-
band that she might comfort his
last hours.

Corinth, Miss, Sept. 29.-Five
thousand persons witnessed the
burning of Tom Clarke, alias Will
Gibson, at u stake Yesterday after
n0bn.
IT was the negro's penalty for
the murder of Mrs. Minnie Whit
field, an estimable white lady Of
this place, last August. Plans of
the avengers were announced be-
fore hand and tho match was ap-
piled to the pine fagots by a
brother of the murdered woman.
aThc spot selected for the execu-
ta6n was in o valley surrounded by
a natural amphiteatre. The iron
rails of a railway switch had been
sunk into the ground about which
was erected n platform.
At tho scaffol,' the negro step
ped nimblv down and a'couple
Of old Mississippians. both wear
ing long white boards, climbed to
the scaff"ld, followed by the pris-
oner. The coat was removed and
with heavy chains he was RI
yeted to the iron cross pieces.
Then the nerve of the negro SEEM
ed to weaken, and for the first
time it appeared that he realized
the awful fate in store for him.
But only for y moment did this
weakness linger.
The negro was told to make a
statement.
He acknowledged criminaIlv as
saulting the woman before cutting
her throat. The crowd clamored
for the fire, but they we're told to
be patient.
Harry Henning, brother of the
murdered woman. climbed upon
the scaffold. He coolly made
preparations for starting the fire,
informing the negro of his lnton-
tions, to which the reero replied: i:
"Burn me now,' and the young
man lighted the fagots at 1884
O'Clock.
Slowly the tiny spark spread
and the doomed man watched its
progress as it climbed through
the inAammable timbers. His
face wore a look Of logged deter
mnation and all of the brute that
surgei in his soul showed upon
his distorted face.
Soon the great pine logs which
had been piled high about the
body began to SIN ke and
crackle and, in an, instant the
flames leaped high into the air
and enveloped the trembling body.
But for eight and one>half min
utes the lips continued to move and
the trunk of the body surged be-
fore life was extinct. But the
flames had not completed their
work, and for three hours conti-
nued to cracklc awas until the
mass of flesh and bone was entire
ly consumed, closing one of the
most horrible spectacles that NOR
tai eyes ever witnessed.

THEIR MOTHER DIED
ABOARD R. R. TRAIN.
Six Little Children Were With Their
Mother While She Was On Her
Way to Receive Treatment.

Shreveport, Oct. L. Railroad
men are accustomed to witnessing
many unpleasant and pathetic
scenes, but it is seldom that they
or any other class of men are call
ed upon to witness such a scene as
was enacted on board the Shreve-

dren crying around her piteously
to be recognized and the cries be-
ing unanswered by the poor wo-
man, who was in a dying condI-
tion, was the spectacle the in
coming passengers and trainmen
were compelled to endure.
The woman was Florina Marco,
a Mexican, who had been employ
ed on tho Marston plantation,
near East Point. She was enroute
to Shreveport to be placed 10 the
charity hospital for treatment,
but death relieved her suffcrings
and made her little children or
phans before assistance could
reach her. Word was Immediate
~ sent the police department of
the woman's condition and the
patrol wagon was asked for in or
der to convey her to the hospital,
but before the wagon arrived
Florina Marco had gone to join
the sileut majority and sleep the
everlasting sleep. She had been
"called home" and the hearts of
the railroad men were touched
with sympathy and pity for the
children. All that was left for
their comfort and maintenance
was the munificent sum of 10
cents.

NO HURE COMPANIES
win Be Received in the State Ma
tionai Guard,

Those OF our Bay st. Louis boys
who have been organizing into a
military company, under the able
captainship of E. M. Ansley will
read the following press telegram
from jackson with keen disap-
pointment, learning that for the
want of sufficient funds no more
companies will be received into
the State National Guard for the
present:
"No more companies will be re-
ceived into the State National
Guard for the present on account
of the insufticiency of the availa-
State appropriation. This state
ment was made by Adjutant Gen.
Henry in response to a question
regarding the action that would
be taken on the pending applica-
tions of five new companies to en-
ter the organization. Gen. Henry
stated that be had had an inter-
view with the governor ON. nation
al guard matters, at which this,
among other things, was discussed.
1t was decided that it would he
useless to increase the force of
the guard at present to a point
beyond the capacity of the sppro-
prlation to take care of. He in
timated that no more companies
would be admitted until the Le-
gislature met and made a sufficient
appropriation for its adequate
support and maintenance. "If
the Legislature would appropria
a reasonable amount of money!"
he said, 81 should like to have a
military company in every county

Twice in midocean has Capt. Look
hove the vessel to and rescued her, she
having fallen overheard, once from the

In speaking of the cat Mr.. Wilson
said to Boston Globe reporter:
" Barney was the strangsst acting cat
/ ever saw. She would not allow any
cats or dogs TO come aboard the boat
while in port. She was what might be
termed the monarch of all she sur
veyed.
"If we passed a steamboat at sea and
the whistle was blowns Barney would
at once seek a hiding place. So fright
ened was she that at times she would
remain in hiding two or more days.
"She is q great bird catcher, fine
mouser and will tackle rat as large as
herself"

MANY CATTLE KILLED
BY RAYENOUS WOLVES.
Residents In the Swampy Section Of
Yaxoo County Preparing to Ex-
terminate Them.

Certain parts of the swamp sec.
ton of Yazoo County abounds
with several kinds of wild beasts.
including bear, deer, and smaller
game, but it is not generally
known that wolves have made
their appearance in the swamp,
and haye been making raids upon
cattle and other domestic animals
in large numbers. Yet such is the
fact. Mr.. Brevort Butler, large
planter WHO lives on Lake George,
in the southwestern part of the
county, reports that large num-
bers of cattle have been Killed in
that section of the county by VOL
YES during the past two months,
and that SO far the indivId ual
resistance that has been offered to
their depredations have been of
no avail. So bold have been the
attacks of these wild beast that
the entire community has become
aroused, and women and children
are afraid to go from plantation to
plantation, and have become
thoroughly terrorized.
Mr.. Butler is now organizing a
party Of hunters to rid that Sec
tion of the pests, and the drive
will no doubt be one of the most
memorable in the history of the
county.--Yazoo City Sentinel.
