Philadelphia Scandal.

Philadelphia.-For the second time
this week, John W. Hill, former chief
Of the bureau Of filtration was arrest
ed on charges of forgery and falsify-
ing certain books and papers to de-
fraud the city Of Philadelphia. At
ter a hearing he was held in $4,000
bail for trial. His arrest was great
surprise coming SO close on his state
ment of innocence of forgery and fal-
siication Of record on which charges
he was held in $4,000 bond on We'd
nesday. The principal witness against
Mr.. Hill was S. G. Garrett, former
employe of the filtration bureau. Evl-
dence was produced tending to show
that estimates of the work done by
d. J. McNichol, contractor, were
padded and that the city was defraud-
ed out of about $4,000. Counsel for
the defense claimed that the evidence
produced did not prove Mr.. Hill gull
ty Of the offense charged.

M. M. Ramsey Insane.

New York. M. Ramsey, Pro-
fessor Of Language of Leland Stan
ford, Jr., University, California, a
graduate of Cuba, fellow OF the
Johns Hopkins University, a member
Of the American, Philosophical Asso-
citation and the Modern Language AS
sociation, was arraigned in a magls-
trate 5 court here on a charge Oh
"vagrancy," which was changed to
insanity. Ramsey was taken to Belle
vue to await the arrival Of two phys
icians from Baltimore who were IN
terested in discovering his where
abouts in New York. The only refer
ence Ramsey made to his plight was
to remark: "This is all a farce, all
a farce" Ramsey left California
three months ago. Since then his
friends lost all trace of him. His wife
was Agnes Emily Graf, chief trans
lator for the International American
Conference, whom he married in 1899.
He had little money when he reached
New York. Since he has been mere he
has worked in various small restau-
rants and cafes on the east side as
waiter.

Fraudulent Timber Claims.

Portland, Ore-The testimony IN
the trial of United States Senator
Mitchell by the prosecutions chief
witness, A. II. Tanner, was recital
Of alleged offenses against the Federal
statutes committed by Senator Mitch
ell, Judge Tanner told of agreements
made by himself with Kribs and John
A. Benson to expedite timber CLAIMS
through the General Land Office and
the application Of the fees received
therefrom to the earnings of the firm
and the division of the fees at the end
Of each month, Mitchell receiving
half. The nature of the evidence given
was the same as previously submitted
by the prosecution, and Jhowed SINH
lar transactions to those already tes-
titled to by Judge Tanner. In intro
ducing evidence showing similar Of
fenses to those charged in the Kribs
indictment the prosecution was be-
seiged with objections from the de-
fense, but Judge Dehaven allowed the
testimony to be given on the ground
that one offense might be charged to
catelessness, but other offenses OF a
similar nature go to prove that the
acts were premeditated.

Pardon Whitecaps.

1t is learned that petitions are in
circulation in the counties of Frank
lin and Lincoln asking the governor to
pardon the Lincoln County whitecap-
pers, who were sentenced to the PEN
itentiary some months ago. 1t is said
that the petitions originated in Frank
lin county, where none of the white
cappers have yet been tried. 1t is
said that the Lincoln county Law and
Order League is preparing to take a
hand in the matter, and will fight the
effort being made to get these men
pardoned. The men were convicted
last November and those who spent
their time and money in getting up
the evidence on which they were con-
victed, it is believed, do not believe
that they should be released so soon,

Major Jonas of the Aberdeen Ex-

Major Jonas of the Aberdeen Ex-
aminer some weeks since produced
some interesting statistics in refuta-
ton of the writer's contention that
Mississippi was not paying the atten-
ton to mule breeding that she should
and that of the ten thousand mules
needed in building the Panama Cana,
Mississippi would not be able to fur
nish any Of them. Here are extracts
from the article that are well worth
reading:
"Our friend Blakes1ee widely miss

IA Year Old Boy.

IA years of age meddled with the
switch at the Mentor station and caus-
ed the wreck Of the Twentieth Centu-
ry flyer. William Usher, ticket agent
of the Nickel Plate, and James
Barnes, of Wiliouhby were on the
scene Of the wreck twenty minutes
after it occurred. On the way they
met boy carrying lantern. They
questioned him and he said that he
had been down to shut the switch.
They questioned him further thinking
it possible that he had tampered with
the switch, but the boy insisted that
he had shut the switch. The men went
to the scene of the wreck and found
the switch open but locked. The men
are of the opinion that there was q
freight ahead Of the Twentieth Cen.
tury and opened the switch to let 1t
through to take a siding.

Bond Issue May Be Necessary.

Gov. Vardaman is very much of the
opinion that it will be necessary to
borrow 100000 before the end of the
year to meet a prospective deficit in
the state treasury. The governor has
not yet thoroughly made up his mind
on the subject, but he is inclined to
the belief that the probable receipts
as estimated in the statement from
Treasurer Miller a few days ago may
not be realized and this would leave
the treasury without funds until the
fall tax collections arrive in January.
On the other hand Mr.. Miller is equal
ly confident that he will be able to get
along without the 100000 loan au-
thorized by the legislature, and that
his figures are substantially correct
He does not object to the sum being
borrowed, Of course, and is quite will
ing to acquiesce in whatever the gov
ernor decides to do in. the matter.

suit in the Circuit Clerks office

of its employees, ran over the little

<s'The increased demand in the ten
years succeeding 1890, it will be OBJ
served, amounted to 57,504, and the
demand has enormously increased
with every succeeding year as pur gre
ta agricultural ventures have expand
ed, exceeding the annual product In
many counties, while other counties
have been steady sellers of surplus
though many farmers have bought
from imports in lots, in preference to
hunting them up as individuals, on

GAS to furnishing mules to work
on the Panama Canal, we have no
doubt they can be purchased in ev-
cry county in the state if the bids are
high enough to tempt owners and pro-
ducers, but the home market is at
present satisfactory, and it IS easier
to sell a $3.50 or $175 mule at home
than an inferior animal. 1t is nota-
BILE that many mules we're purchased
by. the government in our state dur
ing the Spanish American war, and
our dealers are eager for such con-
tracts as those from other states, and
vii seek such for such individual AMI
mails as may be called for, wherever
they can be found
The statistics as given by MAJOR
Jonas are doubly interesting and are
worth careful perusal by all. Ills
statements also as to what Mississip-
pi is actually doing in the way OF
mule raising, are interesting and no
doubt true, which state of affairs is
very gratifying indeed, but the fact
still stares us in the face that not
enough attention is being paid this
important branch Of business. Mis-
sissippi has hundreds Of thousands OF
acres Of land that is especially adapt
ed to the raising Of stock Of every de-
scription and more especially mules
The industry is profitable one and
has been proven so, but the fact re-
mains that Mississippi does not raise
enough mules for home consumption
and that every year, car after car are
brought in to supply the demand.
When the state went into the market
this wear Missouri was drawn upon
for the supply and one jackson firm
has brought in thirty cars during the
present year to say nothing OF other
places. We could and should raise
all Of the mules needed at home as
we'll as a surplus to build the Panama
Canal and other uses. The industry IS
one that should appeal to every good
farmer or stock raiser in the state.
