SON OFFERS REWARD FOR
SLAYER OF HIS MOTHER.
Death of Mrs. Carlisle at Jackson
willie Is Still Mystery.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 9.-Clarence
H. Carroll to-day offered a reward of
$500 for the arrest, with evidence to
convict, of the murderer of his mother,
Mrs. Matte E. Carlisle, who was dis
covered in her room dead Sunday
morning.
Aside from the offer of the reward
there are no new developments in the
case. No clue has yet been discovered.
The missing watch has not been found,
and it seems that upon the finding OF
this watch rests the only hope of a
clue.
The funeral services were held to-
day over the body of Mrs. Carlisle,
being conducted from the undertaking
parlors of Charles A. Clark by Rev.
w. A. Hobson of the First Baptist
Church..
Clarence NJ. Carroll, son of the dead
woman, who works for a New York
nrm, visited the home of his mother
to-day and states that he is more con-
Vlnced than ever that his mother was
murdered, discrediting the theory of the
physicians that she died of uremic
seizure
The matter will be officially brought
10 the attention of Gov. jennings, to
nave him offer a reward for the ar
rest OF the supposed assassin
Dr. Carroll said he knew it was Mrs.
Carlisle's habit to wear a double-case
watch, connected with a long neck
chain. This watch cannot be found
know, also" he said, that it was
a kind of hobby of hers to keep an
amount of gold in the house. Up until
the time left home she kept a num-
Der of gold pieces in the house. This
probably amounted to as much at $500
or $500. 1t is possible that she had
deposited this money, and that this
amount is included in her bank ac-
count. | cannot say as to that
Another circumstance connected
with her death is the fact that no
change was found in her pocketbook,
and that the only money found was
that which was concealed in a laundry
bag.
My mother paid cash for every
thing; it was a habit of her life; she
thought it more satisfactory in every
way. Under the circumstances, It
seems probable that she would have
had some money easily accessible for
the payment of her bills, particularly
as it was Saturday.
II am compelled to scout the idea
of a natural death My mother never
complained of feeling unwell. She
worked hard, and l often tried to get
her to come up and visit me for a
rest, but she never said anything of
feeling unwell. and I cannot believe
that under the circumstances her death
was the result of natural causes"
The Times-Union says: The home of
Mrs. Carlisle, on Church street. has
been without an occupant since SatuF-
day night of last week. 1t is a neat
and attractive little home and one
which she had made with her own
hands. She planned the building her
self, and earned the money with which
to erect it with her needle. At the
time of her death she was engaged in
making dress for BRIDE

Paragoul, Ark, June 9.-Mart v.
Vowel, an aged white man, was hang
ed here this afternoon a few minutes
before c o'clock for the murder of w.
f. Lovejoy.
The hanging was planned to take
place at 1870 o'clock. Under the laws
of Arkansas a hanging may be had
any time between noon and o'clock
p. IN. Vowel vas personal friend
CT the sheriff, and the postponement
was made IN the hope of stay of
execution from Gov Davs. During the
entire afternoon manv friends of Vowel
besieged Gov. Davis office at Little
Rock beseeching him to intervene and
it was only when the hour of o'clock.
the final time limit. was so close as
to preclude all hope of reprieve, that
the sheriff sprang the trap.
In May Gov. Davis considered a pc
tition signed by 1900 residents of Clay
and Green counties, asking a commuta-
tion of the sentence, and at the same
time another petition was received,
bearing 1,500 signatures. The Governor
steadily refused to interfere, though
numerous delegations waited on him.
1t is said that 342 messages were re-
ceived yesterday and last night from
Confederate camps, requesting Gov.
Davis to commute the sentence.

MoBLEY USED C0WHIDE
ON w. BOYD EVANS.
Sensation Was Created on the
streets of Columbia.

Columbia. S. q, June 9.-John G..
Mobley, of Fairfield, accompanied by a
relative, f. MoHley, met w. Boyd
Evans, Esq, in Eont of his office, on
Law Range, to-da& and demanded GER
tain papers. Evans evaded or refused,
when Mobley struck him several times
in the face with qowhide They
clinched and were separated. The
sheriff immediateI put both under
peace bonds.
Mobley and Evans We're two years
ago unsuccessful candidates for Rail-
road COMMISSIONS. EBoth have again
entered for the race this summer
Mr.. Mobley Will in the morning make
statement to theEeffect that years
ago his wife, a Georgia lady left his
home and returned to her people in
Georgia, refusing to live in South Caro-
lima. Later at her instance, legal
paper against Mr.. Mobley was sent
from the Governor of Georgia to the
Governor of South Carolina.
The situation being well known at
Mr. Mobleys home, where his conduct
under trying conditions was highly
commended by all men. no attention
was paid to this matter. Shortly af-
ter the unfortunate lady was COM
mitted to the aslum at Milledgeville,
Ca. EVANS was private secretary for
Gov Ellerbee. Recently. Mobley was
informed that a man employed by
Evans was travelling over the state,
armed with that document from the
Governors office, containing grave ac-
cusations against Mobley's character,
and that this agent was secretly poison
ing the people against him. 1t was
that paper that Mobley demanded of
Evans.
Evans is practicing law here. He
married into wealthy Charleston
family some years ago.

BELL ORDERS THAT A
MINE CLOSE DOWN.
Has Been HarbOring Dangerous and
LawIess Men.

Has Been HarbOring Dangerous and
LawIess Men.
Victor Col, June 9.-Adjt. Gen.
Sherman NJ. Bell, commander of the
Teller county military district, to-day
ordered the Portland mine, which en-
ploys union men. closed down. The
order asserts that the mine has been
harboring dangerous and lawless men,
who have aided and encouraged those
guilty of recent crimes and outrages in
the district.
The Portland is the only large mine
in the district that has continued in
operation since the explosion at In
dependence on Monday. which killed
or MANNED more than twenty men union
miners. The Portland Gold Mining
Company, through its president and
manager, James r. Burns, who is not
a member of the Cripple Creek District
Mine Owners Association, conceded the
demands of the union when the strike
was inaugurated last August and has
steadily given employment to about 800
men.
Gen. Bell also issued a proclamation
calling on all persons to refrain from
violence and to resume their usual oc-
cu2ations
The commission appointed by Gen.
Bell to inquire into the records of the
miners under arrest reported to him
miners, with the recommendation that
they be deDorted. Gen Bell accepted
their report and announced that the
men would be sent out of Teller coun-
" as soon as a special train crew had
been arranged for.
