2 WOOLFOLK UP IN COURT. THE OPENING OF HIS CASE POST PONED TWO WEEKS. His Counsel Endeavored to Have It Put Off Until tlie First Week In Janu ary-Absent Witnesses and a Desire to Catoh Jack Dubose the Grounds. Macon, Ga., Nov. 21.—The sensation to day in Macon was the trial of Thomas G. Woolfolk for the murder of his father, mother, sisters and brothers, nine in number. The court house was densely packed, the crowd as sembling at an early hour. There was the greatest interest manifested. Nine counts for murder had been found against the pris oner by the present grand jury, of which B. C. Smith was foreman. It was only on the first indictment, however, charging him with the murder of his father, R. F. Wool folk, Sr., that Solicitor General Hardeman decided to try him, as the trial on the other indictments depended on the result of the first. Woolfolk entered the Superior Court room at two minutes to 9 o clock, hand cuffed and under charge of Sheriff W est cott. After being seated, Sheriff Westcott took the handcuffs off of Woolfolk, awl the first act the pr soner did was to put a light ed cigar iu his mouth and commence smok ing. Ho calmly looked around him and did not appear very much concerned by his surroundings, although there was something of a hang dog look on his face. WELL DRESSED. He was attired in anew suit of brown clothes, which had been given him on Sat urday by his brother-in-law, Mr. Cowan, of Hawkinsviile. He had on a clean shirt and • ollar, but wore no cravat. His shoes had been well blackened. His entire dress ap pearance was neat and cleanly. Ho wore a lull short beard, and on leaving the jail on his way to the court house asked Sheriff Westcott to let him stop and shave, but this request was refused, as the Sheriff had only a few minutes in which to reach court by the opening hour. He had noth ing to say to the Sheriff about the trial to day. After remaining in the court room ten minutfts Sheriff Westcott took him up stairs in the old County Court room, " here he was shaved. Woolfolk reappeared int he court room at 10 o'clock, looking decidedly improved, his face wearing a more pleading appearance. At 9 o’clock sharp Judge Gustin called the court to order, and Clerk adiiras commenced to call the names of the jurors. Two hundred extra jurors had been summoned in addition to the regular panels of fort v eight, When the caso was sounded the State, represented by Solicitor Hardeman, and Messrs. Guerry and Hall, announced reaily. Frank R. Walker, of Atlanta, and J. C. Rutherford, appeared for the defense. THE DEFENSE NOT READY. The latter in behalf of the defendant said t hat the defense was not ready for several reasons. First the case was set for trial to day while both Mr. Walker and himself were in Atlanta, which was a complete sur prise to them as they did not exjiect trial at so early a day, and were totally unprepared for it as they had not had time to get witness es here from various points in the State out side of the county. Some of these witnesses had not even received subpoenas. There were witnesses from counties other tluui Bibb county, on whom the defense relied for valuable testimony. Again the defend ant hail been in jail since the murder, had no money, and had not been able to prepare himself, and get his witnesses hero, and he expected aid of the court under the law to assist in getting his witnesses here. One of the witnesses wrote to the de fondant’s attorneys that he could not come, es no money had been furnished him. The law grants the payment of money by the State to defray the mileage expenses of wit nesses living out of the county where the trial is held iu coming to the trial, though it does not say that this money shall be pre paid. RUTHERFORD NOT PREPARED. Since his employment as counsel he had not had time to prepare for trial. It was true that Woolfolk had written to him three times from the Atlanta jail to defend him, but bis time had been so occupied in other courts that he hail had no opportunity to give an answer, and it was only since Wool folk had been brought back to Macon that he had gone into the defense and had any consultat oa with him. Attorney Walker also made a statement on the same line and called the names of four witnesses the defense desired present, namely J. C. Foster, of Madison, who had known Woolfolk since his childhood; Mrs. Cowan, of Hawkinsviile; Mr. Pendleton, of La Grange; Mr. A. Y. Harris, of Monroe county and Sheriff W. A. Kineher, of Ctaeiotce county. Tho defense asked for a postponement of the case until these wit nesses could reach here. Mrs Cowan was the only one of the witnesses in the court room. Judge Gustin stated that ho would post pone the trial until the first Monday in De cember, which was ample time to get the witnesses here. The counsel for the defense thereupon re quested that they be allowed until the sec ond week in January, otherwise it. was possible that when the case was called in December they would not be ready for trial and would then ask for a continuance. . WANT TO FIND DUBOSE. Capt. P.utherford st- tod that the reason he desired the cast: continued until the second w. ok in December was to allow the defense tiro” to apprehend a certain escaped convict, Jack Duoose, who had confessed to the .Sheriff of Cherokee county, by whom he had been arrested and jailed, that he knew all about the killing of the Woolfolks, and that Thomas Woolfolk was not the guilty party. Dubose was standing in the YVool fo k yard on the night of the murder and saw Thomas Woolfolk jump out of a win dow while the blows were being heard in tho house. This Dubose was considered a weak-minded negro and had been released from jail, and was now at large. It would perhaps be impossible to trace this negro by the first week in December, but by the second week in January, with the ex ercise of due diligence, the negro might be caught, brought to Macon, and lie the means of proving Woolfolk innocent of the crime, and thus save the sacrifice of his life. Du bose described the surroundings of the WoolfolK yard very minutely, even as to the well and old grave that had become almost obliterated hy time, a rase bush, etc. He stated that Peatd Woolfolk had been killed in the hall, and her body then carried into her father’s room and laid across the foot of his bed. FISHINESS OF THE TALK. This tale of Dubose's was published at the time he told it to the Sheriff of Cherokee county, but no credence was given it, os it was stated that he was well known to the Atlanta police, and had a habit of confess ing to the penetration ol all kinds of mur ders and other criminal deeds, and it was the belief that he had heard tho story of the Woolfolk tragedy, and mtule his confession to suit tho details of the murder. Capt. Rutherford made an eloquent appeal in behalf of his client for the continuance of the case until the second >.eek in January, but Judge Gustin refused the postponement until that day, as there was no assurance that Dubose would be captured then, and the postpone ment until December would answer just as well, so far as the apprehension of Dubose was concerned. Attorney Walker also made an earnest argument on every possible available point. STRANGE THEY LET HIM GO. Solicitor General Hardeman severely criticised the action of tho defense in allow ing Dubose to be released from tho Chero kee jail and the Atlanta police barracks, when Dubose had made such startling di i olowire*. which, if true, would be of incal culable benefit to YVoolfolk. The defense should have taken the proper legal action to detain Dubose and nave hint at the Until In view of this negligence of the defendant's attorneys he thought their proposition a most remarkable one, to ask for continu ance because of the absence of Dubose from Macon to-day. Capt. Rutherford si at si that at the time of the confession of Dubose he was not connected with the case and his association began several weeks afterward, j Therefore the criticism of the Solicitor Geu- I eral could not apply to him. Mr. Walker defended himself against all negligence and said that he had been thor oughly diligent in the entire matter, and had dime his full duty so far as the law j allowed. After patiently listening to all the argu ments pro and con Judge Gustin postponed the hearing of the case until the first Mon day in December, and said that it was per emptorily set for trial on that day. The defense was thus brought to a disc! osure of their line of proceeding, which was in tended to have been delayed until the trial. It proved a sensation, but it is thought that the confession of Dubose, even if appre hended, cannot save the prisoner. WOOLFOLK UNMOVED. The postponement of the case seemed to have no effect whatever on Woolfolk. Not the slightest change of color or expression was noticeable in his face. lie-received it apparently with absolute indifference. When Woolfolk returned to Macon from the Atlanta jail his valise was brought back with him, and has been in the charge of Jailer Birdsong ever since. This morning before going to tho court house lie asked Jailer Birdsong for ids valise. Before giving it to him Mr. Birdsong made an examination of it and found therein a strongly made rope twisted out of pieces of carpet. There were two pieces of the rope, and when tied together they would measure about fifteen feet in length. No doubt Wooifolk’s intention was to use the rope in aiding him to escape from prison, should the chance ever offer. Jailer Birdsong thinks Woolfolk made the rope while in the Atlanta jail. Jalier Birdsong now has the rope, and it will never do Woolfolk any good. The only other contents of the valise was a quantity of soiled linen. NO FEVER AT MANATEE. The Health of the Whole Section Re ported to Be Excellent. Manatee, Fla., Nov. 16.— -In the Morn ing News of Nov. 11 appears a telegram from Tampa, in which it is stated there are 14 cases and three deaths from yellow fever at Manatee. There is not a single case of yellow fever here, nor has there been. At this writing, on the authority of Dr. J. Crews Pe!ot,one of the principal physicians, there is not a single case of any kind of fever on the whole Manatee river section, comprising a population of about 1,500 per sons, and there is only one case sick. I ir. Driscoll, who is now convalescent, and his physician, Dr. Lefingweli, told me only a few minutes since that Dr. Driscoll had not a particle of fever. Besides this, out of nearly 100 school children attending the Manatee Academy, there is not a single pu pil on the sick list. It is true that we have had a number of cases of fever of very severe type and three deaths, but every one of these cases has bn n traced by the physicians to one locality in the village, a house occupied as a drug store in tho lower part, a millinery estab lishment in the second story and the office of the writer of this article. An “old well” very near this building, ac cording to tho judgment of our physicians, after the most careful investigation, was no doubt the. one source of the fever in Mann tec. all tlie fevers having been of it malarial type, but differing in intensify, thereby de voloping in the different patients distinc tively remittent, bilious, congestion and typho-molarial. Of these two latter. Rev. Crowder, Dr. Johnston aud Mrs. Wilson dies!. Everyone of the others, taken about the same time, tins recovered and are at- tending to their duties. Rev. Mr. Crowder’s easo Imd many symp toms similar to tnose of yellow fever, and was considered suspicious, but although twenty days have elapsed since he died, not a single individual of the great numbers who visited him, nursed him, and laid him out after death, has been sick. Again, while every person, who remained in tue drug store, Dr. Johnston and his three sous, and every one who sat up with Mrs. Tubbs, the milliner who occupied the build ing, were taken sick not a single person, those who nursed Dr. Johnston, including his wife and daughters, has been sick, show ing beyond a doubt that the cause was malaria. Again, there has not been a single case of any kind of fever within the last ten days, showing beyond a doubt that there has bden no yellow fever in Manaee. Dr. i'olot, after carefully studying these fevers, fifteen days ago,' told the people not to be alarmed, that he would stake his rep utatiou on it that no one would get the fever from contact with ihose who had it, hut that anyone remaining at the building re ferred to would get it in six hours. His po sition has been completely verified by the facts. Dr. Pelothas been the chief practicing physician at Manatee for more than twenty years, has carefully studied and treated all the various forms of fever which we have in South Fiorida, has had yellow fever—gen uine yellow fever—and has treated it in others and there is no physician in this county who is more careful of his medical opinion, and is the last man in the world to have risked the lives of his neighbors and their chil dren in giving an opinion on which he knew they would fully rely, unless ho hud known that that opinion was based on what he be lieved to be, after the most careful investi gation, indubitable evidence. Had yellow lever been here lie would have told the peo ple at once to leave tiie village. They de pended on him implicitly, aud time has de \ eloped the fact that their confidence was not misplaced. A Poop at Hell’s Half Acre. Yellowstone Letter to Baltimore American. We were now in :he region of wonders, for when we looked about in the cool morn ing air, not yet warmed by the bright rays of the sun, the whol country seemed to be sending up columns of steam from hundreds of warm springs. Our driver forewarned us that the air was too cool to see the Half Acre at its !>o-t, for the steam was so douse as to hide the pool from view. After a short drive we came to the white and barren formation that surrounded a half-dozen or more enormous boiling springs. A few dead trees here and there were evidence that tho formation of geyserite had been growing outward from year to year, and had finally caught up with and dasjtroyed these stragglers from the forest. A walk of a hundred yards or so brought us to tho brink of the first of these boiling lakes. The steam, as our driver had predicted, was so dense that we could see very little; but I will describe it as we saw it a day or two later, on our return from Upper Geyser Basin. The Half Acre is tho name applied to one of the boiling lakes, whose waters, like a great caldron, are ever boiling and bubbling, and giving off dense volumes of steam. In its middle, a column of VO feet in diamater is thrown into the air to a height of 15 feet at short intervals, and about its sides, from time to time, since the discovery of the park, pieces of tho forma tion, which here appears to be about eight feet in thickness, liavo tumbled in. It would be itnp'tssibie to ascertain the depth of this natural cauldron, but the water is as clear as crystal, and when the vision is not ob i scured hy the steam, one can look down in its blue depths and see tho rocks far, far I below. On one side a stream as large as an ordinary country mill race flows out and rolls, a boiling cascade, into the Fire Hole river.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1887. GOSSIP OF TIIE CAPITAL THE PRESIDENT AS AN IMPROMPTU SPEECH-MAKER. Incidents of Hi3 Recent Trip-Gallant Uncle Tom Morrison—Good News for the Lady Departmental Clerks. From the New York Graphic. Washington, Nov. 19. —Senators Vest and Yoorhees were talking the other day about their surprise at the oratorical pow er shown by the President during his recent journey to the West and South. “Had you any idea he was such an ora tor?” asked Yoorhees. “No,” replied Vest, “I was perfectly amazed. He is not what you may call a good talker in conservation, although he expresses himself with great clearness. He s|)oak.s with emphasis, and conveys his meaning in well chosen words, hut would not bo considered a conversationalist; but I was not prepared for his speeches in the opeu air. He was uot only pat and at times eloquent in his remarks, but managed to make himself heard everywhere he spoke. In St. Louis, for example, he made an address on the Merchants’Exchange, where there is always terrible confusion, and it is a bad building to speak in anyway, but those who were there told me they heard distinctly every word he said. Then at the outdoor meeting he addressed 2b.00b people, and made them all hear too. He seems to have a metallic quality in his voice that goes a long dis tance. He did not seem to lie speaking so loud, and I was surprised when people who were on the outskirts of the crowd told me they could understand him.” Mr. Voorhecs said that lie observed the same phenomenon at Indianapolis and other points where he went with tho President, and was astonished at the oratorical powers he displayed when he understood that Mr. Cleveland was without much experience and had no reputation whatever as a public speaker. Col. Tom Morrison, of Morgan county, in my State, said the silver-tongued Senator from Missouri, is as good a man as the Almighty ever made, and, likoall gentlemen of taste and culture, is very fond of a fine woman and a fine horse. He has the best stock in the State, and Morgan county, where he comes from, is famous for pretty women. He doesn’t get away from home much, as he is getting old and prefers quiet. So I was surprised to see him in the crowd that came into St. Louis to see the Presi dent. “So you came up with the rest of the boys to see the President, eh, Uncle Tom,” I remarked as he greeted me; “I reckon you couldn’t help it.” “Not much,” he replied, “I wouldn’t go ten miles to see any President, but I did want to get a look at his wife. When I see her I’m going back to my farm.” To gratify the old man I took him up to see Mi-s. Cleveland, and introducing him to her, I said: “Mrs. Cleveland, this is Uncle Tom Morrison from Morgan county, which is famous for its pretty women, and he came up here expressly to see you. He says ho don’t care to see the President, anti as soon as he has seen you he is going back home.” The old man blushed through his tanned skin, hut took her iiand as she gave him one of her sweetest smiles and said some pleas ant words in reply. He stared at her as if he had never looked upon a woman before, and then with his hand upon his heart, and a courtly bow he remarked: “Madam permit me to sat' that you look just us if you were raised in my county.” It was the highest compliment he could pay her. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was going up in the elevator that carries him to his of Ik o the other day, when a friend who happened to be a passenger asked: “ Have you been saying anything good latelv, Colonel?” “Yes,” he replied, with that boyish smile of his, “I got off a pretty good thing yesterday.” “Well, what is it?” ‘‘A client of mine wrote me a business letter, and after signing his name wrote: ‘P. S. —What do you think of Cleveland?’ I answered the letter yesterday, and after i signing my name, I wrote: ‘P. S.—Cleve land’s luck made him President, and his love has made him popular.’ ” Tiie Democratic papers of Virginia are commenting rather severely upon the action of the Attorney General of that State in em ptying Roscoe Conkling to appear for him iu the United States Supreme Court in the eases involving tiie constitutionality of the law prohibiting the receipt of coupons from tho State bonds for taxes, and it is said to be a serious question whether the State Board of Control will pay Mr. Colliding the fee promised him. Even if the board does allow the fee it is said that the Legislature will not approve tiie account. The com plaint is made that Mr. Conkling did not defend the doctrine of repudiation ns earn estly as he was expected to do, but lawyers who heard the speech say he made the very be-t of a bad case. Representative Grimes,oneof the new Con gressmen from Georgia, who is in town, says that the South will be solid for Cleve land at the next Democratic Convention, and that some Western soldier will be giveu the second place on the ticket. “While the South would like to have a man on the ticket,” he says, “there will be no candidate from that section. There is a unanimous demand for tariff reform and for u reduction of the surplu , but, of course, Ido not know what Congress will do. For myself, I will vote for a lower tariff on tho necessaries of life and for the removal of tho taxes on tobacco and whisky.” In regard to the prohibition movement in Georgia, Mr. Grimes said that at present 12:1 out of the 137 counties are “dry.” In Atlanta the negroes, who voted for prohibi tion under the leadership of their preachers, now hold the balance of power. They are gradually coming over to the “wet” side, because they regard prohibition as a rich man’s law, which allows a man with some money to buy a quart or a gallon of liquor, but keeps a poor negro from getting a 10c. drink. Daniel B. Lucas, one of the contestants for the West Virginia seat in the United States Senate, is in town getting ready to contest his case, and says that the report that he intended to abandon it is untrue. He believes that the Senate will recognize his credentials and swear him in. “As for myself,” he said, “1 hold the reg ular certificate, whereas Judge Faulkner, mv contestant, has merely a copy of the of ficial record of the Legislature, showing the action of that body. You will remem ber that tho Legislature adjourned its regu lar session without filling the vacancy, after a long ami bitter contest; then the Govern or appointed me. The Legislature was con vened in extra session by the Governor for specific purposes set forth in his proclama tion. Now’ it is distinctly stated in our con stitution that tlie Legislature so convened shall transact no business except that stated in the proclamation under which it was called together. The Senatorial matter was not referred to in the proclamation, yet tho Legislature went through the form of electing a Senator, which in my opinion is a violation of the constitution. Illinois is the only other Stats, I believe, which has a similar provision in its constitution, in IST.', when the city of Chicago was burned, the Governor of Illinois convened an extra ordinary session of the Legislature to meet the emergency. According to the position taken by Judge Faulkner’s friends tTat, legislature could have taken up the most important questions of State policy, entire ly regardless of tho specifications of the proclamation. I hold it could not, and I nave come to Washington to look up this and other precedents to aid me in my coso. Of course it is natural that more deference should lie paid to the choice of a Legislature than to the ap pointment of a Governor, but a preference of that sort in this case would involve the destruction of a most important clause of ■air State constitution mui a violation of the constitution of the United States. We can i not . I think, surrender to sentiment what is due to principle, and the Senate has uni formly refused to do so heretofore. Should I be seated I would hold the position only until tiie Legislature meets in 1889. Judge Faulkner, on the other hand, if he is seated, would servo until six years from March 4, lad.” There has always been a tradition in the departments at Washington forbidding the marriage of lady clerks, and w henever they have married they have been compelled to resign their positions. Ido not recall but one exception to this rule. That was in the case of an expert counterfeit detective in the Treasury Department—a woman whose skill in that direction is said to tie greater than is possessed by any other person, and her verdict upon a doubtful greenback, not only in the departments, but in the courts, where she has been repeatedly called to tescif v, is usually conclusive. When she got married she resigned her position, but was at once reappointed by Treasurer Wyman, who said lie could not get along without her. But Postmaster General Yiia-s Bas taken a new departure. Oueof the young ladies in tho Post Office Department has recently beeii married and did not, as was the custom, resign her commission. The chief of the division in which she is employed took the matter to Col. Vilas, who decided that there was no justice or reason in the rule and that it would not be applied as long as he was in authority. Ho said that a woman clerk lias just as much right to retain her position after marriage as a gentleman as long as her domest ie circumstances were such as would permit her to perform her duties. This decision will cause great Jjoy not only in tho Postofiice Department but other branches of the government, where the ex ample of the Postmaster General will un doubtedly be followed. There are a num ber of laily clerks who lmve postponed their weddings rather ’him give up situations which pay them 81,000 or 81,200 a year, and I know of one case iu particular, where a lady who draws one of tho largest salaries paid to a woman by tho government, and is considered one of the best clerks in the Department, was married for more than seven years and concealed the fact rather than resign her position. Her husband was getting $1,200 a year all this time, and she was receiving 81,300. Sachet Powders For Xmas.

About ti o'clock iu the morning a thick ye low cloud settled down over the town, before the rain and about a quarte to 7an electric cloud burst followed by a terrific report and a bolt of lightning. Electricity played over the roofs and steeples of the town, and, in the gloom of the morning, gave a vivid light that seemed to last a full minute. The ground seemed to shake and dwellings appeared to rock as they did dur ing the last earthquake. Attorney Geiertl Roberts was wakened out of his sloop by t ie loud report, and saw the electric current play ing over tho furniture in bis room.
