|ND|ANOLA HAS OFFICE AGAIN

Washington, Jan. 20. The president
has appointed w. b. Martin to sue
coed Mrs. Minnie Cox as postmaster at
Indianola, Miss. The postoifice was
closed some time ago. the white inhabi-
tants of the place refusing to accept
their mail from Mrs. Cox, who is
negress. Martin, who is white
man, was one of Mrs. Cox's bondsmen.
Concerning the appointment the fol-
lowing statement was issued at the
White House: 1.-THE president has
sent to the senate the nomination of
William b. Martin to be postmaster at
Indianola. The term of the post
mistress had expired and she refused
to accept disappointment under any
condition and made the request for
the appointment of Mr.. Martin, one of
her bondsmen and staunch friends
throughout the whole trouble and who
had done everything in his power to
oppose and prevent lawlessnesS. A
report was made by the postoffice in
spector who had originally Investigated
the whole affair and on his advice and
investigation and the positive refusal
OF tide postmistress to accept re-
appointment under any consideration
the president appointed Mr.. Martin.
ut will be recalled that Mrs. Cox,
whose husband was a railroad mail
cler6, became Objectionable to some of
the citizens of Indianola and she
was finally requested by them to resign
her Office.
Threats were made against her and
she was lead to believe that he life
was in danger. She expressed to the
postoffice department desire to resign
but when the facts We're developed
the department declined to permit her
to do SO. Feeling over the matter
became bitter and as Mrs. Cox felt
that she could not remain in the office
with safety to herself, the office was
closed, the government refusing to
m axe any other arrangement. For
long time the people of Indianola
have been receiving their mail from
Greenville, town 25 miles distant
from Indianola The citizens paid a
special carrier to bring them their mail
from Greenville. For some time an
arrangement has been pending quietly
for the reopening of the Indianola
office. Mrs. Cox S term of four years
having expired the appointment of
Mr.. Martin is made as solution of
the difficulty. The appointment is
understood to be satisfactory to all
concerned

WHITAKER WRIGHT
DIES SUDDENLY

London, Jan. 27.--The trail of Whit
aker Wright ended in tragedy.
Within an hour of being found guilty
and sentenced to seven years penal ser.
vitude-the most severe sentence the
law allows for the fraud of which he
was convicted - the financier whose
colossal dealingings have created a
sensation on both sides of the Atlantic,
lies dead in the anteroom of the court.
Whether sudden death was due to
heart disease following the excitement
of the trail, as announced by the direc-
tors, or by poison as grimly limited at
by his friends, is still undecided and
possibly will not be ascertained until
the coroner's verdict.
Standing with his hands in this poe
kets, looking very pale, but not so anx-
ious as during the judges severe sum-
ming up, Wright heard the judges s
condemnation and sentence without the
apparent excitement. He quietly pro-
testedd his innocence in firm, clear aud
BILE voice throughout the room, left
the court in company with his solicit
tor and was arranging for the future
of his wife aud family, when he sud-
denly fell and expired without another
word.
Without exception the London papers
express satisfaction with the salutary
vindication of the law in the case OF
Whitaker Wright, and admit the just
ice of the verdict and of the sentence.
Mrs. Wright, the dead mans wife,
is an American. She now lies i'll al
the magnificent country home which
| Wright had in Surrey.

LATER REPORT SAYS SUICIDE.
He Took the Fatal Dose just After Re
Ceiving His Sentence.

London, Jan. 28.-A postmortem ex-
animation has shown that Whitake r
Wright committed suicide by tax ing
cyanide of potassium. The inquest
over the remains was held Thursday.
The investigation made indicates that
Wright must haze swallowed the poison
while standing before Justice Bigham
after receiving this sentence.
1t is recalled that be pulled hand
kerchief from his pocket and appeared
to wipe his face and it is surmised that
under cover of this he took the fatal
dose. The tragic event is the one topic
of interest, and every phase is discussed
in all its features. The possibility of
the promoter, S escape from justice by
suicide was clearly forseen by Detec-
tive Willis, who brought Wright from
New York. Acting on hints dropped
by Wright during the voyage. Willis
gave the court officials special warn
ing to keep the clos st guud over him.
Toward the conclusion of the trail,
especially during the severe criticism
OF Bingham, it became evident that
there could be but one verdict, so if
Wright was determined on self destruc
ton in the event of his conviction he
had time to prepare a method for out
whiting the jailers, as he must have
forseen that an adverse verdict was in
evitable.
A strange document was found on
the seat in court which had been &C.
oupied by Wright. showing that he
had premonition of his sentence.
This was sheet of blotting paper,
on which he had scrubbed during the
Justices summing up The Roman
characters WI" were thickly scat
tered over the whole sheet. This was
before the verdict had been rendered,
but the number comedies with the sem
tence he received. In the middle of
the sheet appears the word ''intentI, !"
he last word Wright wrote.

NO RECEIVERS YET
CHANCELLOR KEyAY REFUSES
 TO NAME THEM NOW.
Creditors of the Shapard Bank Had Recommended 1..essrs. Dowdell and Renfro-Points Raised
 Against Bank Law.

Hon. Richard B. Kelly, Chancellor of the Northeastern Chancery Division has, for the present, refused to appoint receivers or trustees for the suspended Shapard Bank of Opelika.
 Chancellor Kelly's opinion on the bill filed against the bank by Attorney Gen. eral Massey Wilson has not yet been received and his position has not been made known. It is supposed, however, that the receivers were not appointed be- cause sufficient notice was not given the officials of the bank as to the filing of the bill in chancery or the hearing on the bill. The bank was closed, 1t will be recalled, by Examiner Rutledge under an agreement with the officials after the in- stitution had been found in an insolvent state. Acting upon instructions from the Governor, Attorney General Wilson filed a bill in chancery for the appointment of two receivers for the bank. The creditors recommended N. P. Renfro, of Opelika, and J. s. Dowdell for receivers.
 While 1t is believed that Chancellor Kelly declined to appoint the receivers at this time because sufficient notice had not been given the interested parties as to the bill in chancery. it is thought that a more momentous point may be raised against the State Banking law. It may be claimed that the State is not authorize ed to take the iniative in having the bank closed It will be claimed that the creditors of the bank should take the steps to have the bank closed and receivers appointed inasmuch as the State Is not an interested party.
 The clearing up of this feature of the operation of the law is of the utmost importance. If it is held that the State cannot institute proceeding towards plac- ing an insolvent bank in the hands of a receiver. the authority of the State in the premises will have ceased with the examination and report upon a bank s condition.
 The Shapard Bank is the first in the State to be closed under the new law and its disposal will establish a precedent in the operation and power of the State Banking law.

Henderson Wright Released.

Henderson Wright, negro Il years old, who was on trial before the City Court of Selma on charge of obstruct- ing a railway has been released from custody by order of Judge J. w. Mabry who thought the boy was too young to have had criminal intention.
 Wright was playing train on the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad track near Beloit in December and to render the game more true to life placed railroad spikes on the rails to represent stations. He was Interrupted in his play by arrest and was placed in jail.
 The obstruction of a railway Is a capi- tai crime, hanging being the extreme and incarceration in the penitentiary the least severe penalty to which a perpetrator of the offense could be sentenced. Wright will probably escape with a iagellation administered by one of his relatives.
