Suspected of the Murder of an Enemy.
Killing Done With AK.
Dublin, Ca, March 10-Early yes
terday morning Joe Clifford, negro,
was killed, his body being found few
minutes after death within feet of
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah rail-
road track, near the Dublin cotton
mills, just outside the city limits.
Clifford was evidently killed by be-
ing struck with the eye Of hatchet
or ak, two deep wounds being found
in his head
The body was discovered by two or
three young negroes, who gave the
alarm and from that time until the
coroner's inquest yesterday morning
big crowds visited the scene.
In 100 yards of where Gifford's hfe-
less form was found is the cabin OF
Ellis Hollomon, an old negro, with
whom Clifford had a fight last August.
AS a result of this fight Clifford was
fined SIS in Laurens superior court In
January and ever since feeling has
been bad between Clifford and the Hol-
loman family. Suspicion at once
pointed at the Hollomans, and the re-
suit Of the colorner's inquest was the
arrest of the father, his two sons and
one daughter. Circumstances around
the place where Gifford's body was
found indicate that he was killed some
where else and carried to the railroad.

Sensational Charges Expected In Kan
sas City Police Circles.

Kansas City, March 10.-Charges of
alleged official corruption in the police
department involving Chief John
Hayes. Detective Charles P. Sander
son and two officers, made by Jailer
Robert Todhunter, were filed today
with the board Of police commission
ers. An investigation will follow.
Jailer Todhunter alleges that De-
tective Sanderson had accepted a
weekly payment from a gambler, who
was granted immunity from arrest;
that a report of this fact was filed
with Chief Hayes and suppressed by
that official that Officers McAnney
and Sullivan made an agreement to
release two clairvoyants upon pay
ment of $125 and that Sullivan had of
fered Todhunter money to suppress
knowledge of some of these dealings.
Todhunter's statement also asserts
that attorneys were permitted to en-
ter the "holdover" in the city jail,
where they secured money and valu-
ables from prisoners upon promise Of
immunity.

New York, March 10.-The Anchor

Seilles, Palermo and Naples was de-
tanned at Quarantine today because a
number of the crew and passengers
died under peculir circumstances ON

the crew and four steerage passen-

the Karamania was steaming froml
Marseilles for Palermo four of the
crew were suddenly taken Ill with
nausea and spasfns. Two died, one
recovered and the other was sent
ashore at Palermo to the hospital,
where the doctor said the men were

New York, March 10.-Mr. Grodrick

John Bright once said that a govern

Kingdom on 10000, 900 pounds sterling
a year should be ruled out of office.

Memphis, Tenn, March 10.-The
river situation shows but little change
here over night. The big stream rose
one-tenth of a foot since the last read
ing, the gauge this morning marking
34.7 feet. Refugees from the low
lands are arriving at this port by
every boat and many have sought the
higher land in the vicinity of their
homes, awaiting developments. The
government engineers here have Off
cially stated that the situation is very
serious and predict that within week
will be rushing through the levee
channels.
Reports from points in Mississippi
say that the lowlands are completely
inundated, and in many cases stock

abandoned their homes and are max
ing for high ground.
Captain Lucas, chief of the govern
ment forces, has furnished the st.
Francis levee board the use of the
steamer Abbott and this vessel under
the direction of Captain Lee Vasseur,
assistant engineer, will patrol the
levees stretching along the river be-
tween Cat Island and Pecan Point.
From Pecan Point the steamer Ora.
ham will do sentry duty. In addition
to these vessels the government boat
Chisca will be used as a reserve YES

The condition of the embankment
20 miles north of Memphis, where the
water is flooding around the end of
the levee in the 17-mile gap, where
embankments have never been built,
is serious. 1t is believed to be one
of the most dangerous places along
the river. 1t is reported that the
water is slowly washing away the lev.
ees there by running around it. The
engineers in charge have put in tenn
porary revetments, but not before the
counties of Lee and Crittenden, in
Arkansas, were overfiowed.
Captain Potter, chief engineer of the
third levee district, said today that
his force was prepared for the food
and that the embankments are all in
good condition. Three steamers pa
trolling the territory are equipped
with all the necessities.

all the furniture and other assets of
the company are his personal proper
ty and that the corporation has no as
sets on which execution can be levied.
The nominal capital was $500, 900,

"safe" to estimate the annual profits
from the branch offices it was pro
posed to establish all over the country

The company purpOsed to buy out

induced to lend his services to the
company, but had been unable to OBJ
tain any compensation for his work.
No one contested the case and judg-

New Orleans, March 10.-The river

morning. rise of only twotenths of
foot in the past "a hours.
1t is still IL feet below the record
of 1897. Much Of the present food
is due to the water which has poured
out of the Red, Arkansas and other
lower streams, and the engineers are
hopeful that considerable Of this water
will be carried off before the effect of
the freshets in the Ohio, Tennessee
and other upper rivers are felt here.
The Orleans levee board continues
its employment of men to fill sack

the river front and weak places made
secure. No news of additional breaks
along the LaFourche have been re-
ceived. The two which occurred yes

breaks will be considerable, It will be
