RAY IS NOT FROM
 MISSOURI, EITHER
COLUMBUS JUDGE TAKES STRICT " JUDICIAL VIEW OF HOSIERY DISPLAYED TO HIM IN COURT FOR IDENTIFICATION.

Columbus, Ga. September 27.-(Special.) ITO be strictly accurate Justice Eugene Ray of this city. cannot exclaim, q am from Missouri; show me-" because of the fact that he is a Georgian. but at the same time he endeavors to live up to the motto that is making the Mule State famous.
 Yesterday q rather novel case came up in his conrt, young white lady and her husband appearing as prosecutor of Dina Williams. a negro washer woman, who was Charged with stealing number of articles of clothing. Among other things it waS alleged that the woman stole pair of stockings. She denied her guilt very strenuously and the lady was equally insistent that she had not re- turned the hosiery
 In his dilemma Judge Ray, who was somewhat .nzzled and who was anxious to arrive at the truth of the matter told the negro woman to hold up her dress and show the court the stockings she had on. The woman elevated her dress to a point just above the knee and as she did so the prosecutor exclaimed excitedly that the negro had on her stockings. She remarked isat the pair sh5 herself wore was of the same make aJ the pair stolen by the negro and becoming somewhat excited over the situation and being inn bued with commendable desire to veri- fy her statements, exhibited her own stockings
 Judge Ray' took strictly judicial view or the two pair of stockings thus ex- hioited and decided that there were, of the same style of hosiery, thus sustain- ing the laly's contention.
 The negro woman was placed under a bond on account of her failure to pro- duce the missing articles of clothing.

of Wetumpka, today submitted a bill to Judge T. S. Sayre of the circuit court, testing the validity of the pony circuit. MT. Lull is not seeking to have the act declared invalid, but he wants the met ter settled so that the people will know whether or not cases being tried in the circuit court will have to be tried over.
 We have raised the question of the constitutionality of what is known as the pony circuit bill,' said MT. Lull, lon the ground that neither the journal of the house nor the senate show that any pub lieation was made.
 'Our idea is to get a decision on the special plea raising this question: ask the supreme court to take this case up on appeal at the special term to be held on September 29 to consider the Lusx bill.
 The bill Is submitted on the idea that the decision in the consolidated court bill of Jefferson county, recently handed down. settles the question as to what is and what is not a local bill, and that all bills not affecting the entire state, whether relating to the judicial system or otherwise, are local bills, and are sub ;ect to the rule as to publication"

of Booths neck, not far from where he (Booth) had shot the president. After lingering about three hours, manifestly in great pain, consious but nearly irl- articulate, Booth died at seven o'clock in the morning.
 "Adverting to the report of Lieut.. Ed ward P. Doherty. filed with the secre- tsry of war on the 29th of April, 1865, find the following letter from A. R. Sewall, acting assistant adjutant gene- ral to the commanding officer of the Sixteenth New York Cavalry:
 '' The major general directs that you detail twenty-five men, well mounted, to be commanded by a reliable and dis erect commissioned officer, to report at once to Col l.. G. Baker, special agent, War Department No. PIT Pennysylvania Avenue, opposite Will lards Hotel
 Thus it is clearly seen and conclu- sovely proven that Lieut. Doherty alone is entitled to the credit for capturing the assassin of President Lincoln.'
 It may be stated that Lieut. Doherty received his share of the reward offered by the Government for Booths capture, and that he married in this city, where he resided for some time after the close of the war, and that there are still many citizens who well remember him as an estimable citizen.-Washingt Star

theless. Hailing the driver, he asked him his destination. As the reply was somewhat hazy. the scout informed the Mexican that he would accompany nm.
 The fellow looked the picture or misery when he told the patrolman that he really did not need an escort, so the latter told him that the man to whom the hay was to be delivered did not need the provender. You had better dump it out right here on the desert, continued the officer, land mind you, do not stick a Chinese with pitchfork while you are doing 1t" The Mexican was voluble in his excuses and gestures, but nevertheless he had to toss the hay out upon the hot sands. He had all the load off, with the exception of a layer about a foot deep, and then he tramped around on that, sticking the pitchfork in at intervals of every foot until the steel prongs ran into the bed of the wagon. He turned to the inspector in triumph. as if to assure him that no coolie could live through such an as sault. Just to be arbitrary the latter commanded the driver to throw all of the load off. The Mexican reluctantly obeyed, and then the rider noticed that the bed of the wagon was unusually high. A closer inspection showed him that there was a false bottom in the vehicle. He covered the Mexican driver who was preparing to run for it, with his gun.
 When he had him securely handcuffed he turned his attention to the wagon. He ripped up the board of the bed and discovered a pigtail. When he pulled this vigorously enough he found that there was a Mongolian at the other end of it. Then he began to work with vigor and inside of a half hour he had fourteen Chinese handcuffed to each

THE TAKER OF BOOTH.

A bill was introduced in Congress to increase the pension of E. J. Conger, late lieutenant of the First D. c. Cav airy to $50 a month, on the ground, it was stated, that he commanded the de- tachment that captured J. Wilkes Booth, who assassinated President Lin- coln.
 J. E. Hoover of this city, nephew of Lieut.. F. F. Doherty, the man who was in charge of the force that followed Booth and caught up with him in the barn of Garrett on the 25th or April, '65, and who made his report to the secre- tary of war on April 29, 1865 in speak ing of the incident to Star reporter said:
 Some historians have asserted with great positiveness that l.. B. Baker was in direct and immediate charge of the troops. Other claim and maintain with similar force, but without one jot of substantiating proof, that E. J. Conger was in command. None of these state ments can be historically proven. None of them is accurate or true. On the other hand. it is indisputably shown that L. B. Baker and E. J. Conger were detectives in the employ of Col l.. c. Baker, special agent of the War De- partment, and were detailed by Col Baker to accompany the detachment

and made subject to and acted upon the advice and orders of the commanding officer.
 This country's most distinguished and cultured statesman, and the histor- ian of the tragic death-John Hay, secretary of the state and private secre- tary to Abraham Lincoln during his administration as chief executive states with great clearness and unques- tionable certainly who the command ing officer was.
 Secretary Hay says that on the might of the 18th of April, 1865, Lieut.. Edward P. Doherty, in charge of a troop of the Sixteenth New York Caval- ny, arrested, in his bed at Bowling Green, William Jett, a Confederate soldier, and forced him to guide them Ito Garrett's farm. Booth and Herold were sleeping in the barn, 200 or 300 feet from Garretts house. When called upon to surrender, Booth refused, and threatened to shoot young Garrett, whom Doherty ordered into the barn to get his arms. At this juncture a barley took place, lasting some minutes. Fin ally, Booth realizing he was beyond the avenues of escape, offered to fight the party at 100 yards, and when this offer was declined cried out In a theatrical tone. Well, my brave boys, prepare a stretcher for me.
 'Doherty then told him that he would fire the barn; upon this Herold came out and surrendered After re- lieving Herold of his arms, the barn was fired, and while it was engulfed in flames Booth. who was clearly visible through the cracks in the barn, was shot by Boston Corbett, a soldier of a gloomy and fanatical disposition, which afterward developed into instantly. The shot fired by Corbett lodged in the back

few of these eating places which have the daring to include imported chickens on their menus. The innovation, if it can be thus designated, was introduced two years ago, when Tom O'Herne, a South Water street commission mer-s chant, notified his trade that he had six dozen of the finest imported chickens ever brought into the market.
 MT. OHerne had undertaken the risk of importing a case of chickens from France. He had six dozen of the fowls, hand picked, all white feathered and white skinned their feet wrapped in white tissue paper and the feathers left on their heads as an evidence of genu- ineness. They are guaranteed milk-fed. and to weigh at least pound and a quarter each. As to their tenderness and appetizing. quality, MT. O'Herne was confident
 | Three of the best hotels and two restaurants which cater to the palates Of the wealthy promptly relieved MT. O'Herne of any further worry. The chickens were listed on the bills of fare at varying prices, ranging from 1.5 to s2 each, and they went like "hot cakes. '' They were voted far ahead of any chicken that first saw daylight be- meath the stars and stripes. This may have been because they were listed as foreign born.
 The importation of chickens form France is not the only feature of the 1 trade in birds are being daily brought into Chicago, at a time when the game laws make it almost impossible for restaurant keepers to meet the wants of their customers.

INSULT TO THE FAITHFUL HEN,

Whats the matter with the American chicken? Has it deteriorated to the boarding house standard and lost all it's attractiveness for epicures? Can it be possible that chicken matched in the United States and reared to the market stage on diet of oatmeal is usurped in the estimation of the American gour- mand by chicken that attains it's ma jority in the northern part of France?
 These questions are appealing to the first-class restaurant keepers of Chi Icago. They are wondering whether the tastes of their patrons will justify the purchase of fat breasted bullets with the trademark. Made in France" in competition with the meal-fed Aemican born, patriotic spring chicken. It's a question of dollars and cents to the restaurant keepers and the patrons as we'll.
 It cost something to order a Nor mandy chicken or a Brittany capon in the best, restaurants. And there are

other and tied to the wagon wheel. They were a sorry-looking lot. How long they had been lying in the wagon was hard to tell. They had to lie fiat on their stomachs, hreathing through holes cut in the bottom of the bed. Every jolt must have been agony to them, and as the air they got was gem erously charged with alkali dust. they narrowly escaped suffocation. The steerage quarters that they had on the trip home were palatial in comparison to those which they occupied in trying to cross the line. The Mexican did time in the penitentiary. That wagonload of hay was worth $S0O.-San Francis co Chronicle.
