SENATOR QUAY
j INDICATED
QUAKER STASESMAN TO STAND TRIAL
IN OPEN COURT.
Grand Jury Finds True Bills Against
the Politician, His Son and His
Associates.
Philadelphia, November 21.—
The grand jury today presented to
the county court true bills of the
indictment against United States
Senator M. S. Quay; his son,
Richard R. Quay, and Benjamin
J. Haywood, ex-state treasurer.
1'he bills charge the defendants
with conspiracy with John S.
Ilopkins, late cashier of the Peo¬
ple’s bank, for the unlawful use of
the moneys of the bank in the pur¬
chase of stock, and conspiracy with
Hopkins in the misuse of state
funds on deposit in the People’s
bank. Hopkins committed suicide
by shooting himself in March last.
The true bills returned by the
grand jury are five in number. The
first charges M.S. Quay with con¬
spiring with John S. Aopkins for
the unlawful use of the money of
the People’s bank in the purchase
and sale of stock of various corpor¬
ations for the account, benefit and
profit of M.S. Quay.
The second indictment charges
M. S. Quay with conspiring with
John S. Hopkins to unlawfully
buy and sell stocks, knowing that
the said Hopkins was cashier of
the People’s bank.
The Third indictment charges
Benjamin S. Haywood, M. S.
Quay and Richard R. Quay
with conspiracy to convert to their
own use .$100,000 of the public
money of the state on December 1,
1896, when Hay wood was the state
treasurer of Pennsylvania, and also
with the use of the $100,000.
The fourth bill charges that M.
S. Quay and Benjamin J. Hay¬
wood with conspiracy together
with John S. Hopkins, William B.
Hart, Henry K. Boyer, John W.
Morrison, Samuel M. Jackson and

TOCCOA, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 25, I898.
KEESLER GOES WILD
AND IS LOCKED UP
Believed to Be Crazed Like W.J.
Shockley Was.
Atlanta Constitution, November 17.
“Lost! Lost! Lost forever!’ 1
yelled J. B. Keesler, a white man.
yesterday afternoon at the police
barracks, as four policemen were
by main strength forcing him into
a padded cell, His cries could be
heard out on Decatur street and
people began to flock around the
police barracks. Once behind the
bars, where he could struggle no
more and harm neither the officers
nor himself, Kessler cried out:
“Here 1 am a victim at last of
the foul plot of relatives to get me
out of their way. Oh,God,now let me
die the death of the just and faith¬
ful,” |
Then he fell back, and hiding
his face in his hands, wept violent-
ty-
The story of the man’s incarcera¬
tion is rather peculiar, and there is
either a mystery behind him or he
a maniac.
He seemed to be a man in the
same mental condition of Shockley,
who murdered Bishop on a trolley
car recently and who tried to kill
Captain Thompson. All the police
officers who have looked into the
case think it is one parallel to that
of shockley, and that the only rea¬
son Kessler did not kill anyone was
because he was taken into custody
and placed out of where he could
not commit murder.
He is well dressed and appears
to be in the best of circumstances.
He is about thirty years old and his
home is said to be at Toccoa.
Those who know of him say that
he and his family are well-to-do
and stand high in the community of
their residence.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o’
clock Patrolman Bone saw a man
acting in the most peculiar manner
on the streets. The man was Kees¬
ler and he walked into stores, peer¬
ed about him as if he was looking
for someone and then dart out sud¬
denly as if he was being pursued.
A number of merchants com¬
plained of the man’s qujerconduct.
When Officer Bone first approach¬
ed him Keesler said he was looking
fora friend, and he was permitted
to continue his search.
About 5 o’clock Bone saw Kees¬
ler running down Decatur street
and looking back as if he was being
pursued. The man had a wild
look in his eyes and he was bare¬
headed and panting.
The officer overtook him and
Keesler said ;
“Save me, for I am about to be
killed at last. I knew it would
come sooner or later. Hide me or
I am lost.”
Keesler was taken to the police
barracks, where his name was plac¬
ed on the sleepers’ book. He
walked quietly at first toward the
prison, but as soon as he saw’ the
iron bars he shrieked out that he
w T as lost, and then began to fight.
Four policemen had to take hold of
him before he could be locked up.
Captain Jennings made an inves¬
tigation of the case. There %vere
some w r ho had watched the man
who said they believed he was not
crazy, but had gone out to find
some person who he knew w r as
hunting him, and that he played
off crazy after the officer took hold
of him.
“If he had not been locked up,”
Captain Jennings was told, “there
might have been another murder,
like the one recently committed on
a trolley car when poor Bishop lost
his life.”
.
Then, there were others who be¬
lieved the man was a maniac.
“It may be that he lost his mind
because he was really being perse¬
cuted,” said one officer.
Keesler will be held until the au-
thorities in Toccoa can be heard
from.
The Journal, the following eve¬
ning had a short article, in which
it said that John stated he was not
crazy, but was full of mean whis¬
key. We think John knew’ w’hat
he was talking about. Following
is the article;
J. B. Keesler, a white man,
arrested on Decatur street yesterday
and although all the
ficers at the P olice station sa >* thilt
the I11an is craz )'’ Iie aftirms that
is as wise as a supreme court judge.
Yesterday afternoon Patrolman
IJone discovered Keesler running
down Decatur street at a breakneck
speed, crying at the top of h.s voice
that he " -as about to be k,lled ' and
calling on some one to protect him.
Officer Bone thought at first that
Shockley had escaped from the
tower and " as a B ain on the war
P at '-
The officer, after running quite a
piece, overtook Keesler and carried
to the station, where his name was
entered upon tlie sleepers’ book.
After being searched the man
walked quietly toward the prison
door, but as soon as he discovered
the iron bars he became wild and at
once commenced fighting the turn¬
key.
Three or four other policemen
were sitting about the office, and
upon discovering that the turnkey
was having trouble with the sleep¬
er, they ran to his assistance, and
upon arriving they discovered Kees¬
ler fighting like a tiger and making
the atmosphere resound with his
unearthly shrieks.
After much scuffling Keesler was
placed in the padded cell, which is
situated in the rear of the station
house, and after the door was se¬
curely fastened the supposed crazy
man sent up yell after yell.
Keesler seemed to be laboring
under a delusion of some sort when
he was locked up last night,and all
the officers at the station affirmed
that he was a lunatic.
When seen this morning by a
Journal reporter Keesler stated that
he was perfectly sane, and could
not understand why he was confin¬
ed in a padded cell.
He vvas told of his behavior last
night, and replied that he behaved
that way because he was full of
mean whisky.
“I don’t look like a crazy man,do
I?” said Keesler.
Chief of Police Manley thinks
that Keesler is crazy, and has com¬
municated with the chief of police
of T jccoa asking that some one be
sent after the lunatic, as his home
is in that town.
The above is the way the Atlan¬
ta papers had it; the following is
the w'ay it is :
Atlanta, Nov. 17# 1898.
City Marshal, Toccoa, Ga : We
have a party in charge here who
calls himself J. B. Keesler; claims
to be from your town ; his mind is
in demented condition and he is not
able to take care of himself. Please
find out if he has any folks, if so
let them know about him ; they had
better come and take charge of him
at once as he will not be detained
but a day or tw r o.
W. P. Manley,
Chief of police.
Chief McClure sent the follow¬
ing letter to Chief Manley :
Toccoa, Ga., Nov., 17, 1898.
W. P. Manley, Chief Police.
Keesler has an old mother here who
is hardly capable of taking care of
herself. He is not crazy, but plays
that role on every occasion when
arrested. Try him in the stockade
and see if that does not improve
his mind.
J.W.McClure, Chief Police.
flayor Of San Juan Resigns.
San Juan, P. R., November 20.
—Senor del Yalte, mayor of San
Juan, has tendered his resignation
because of the “persistant and un¬
reasonable opposition of members
of the city council to my efforts in
behalf of the city.”
It is said that Senor Munoz,
president of the council of the sec¬
retaries under the regime, influenc¬
ed the councilmen, the majority of
whom are liberals, to antagonize
Senor del Valle, who is an inde-
pendent in poliF.es and quite free
from partizanship. Del \ alle was
in excellent repute as mayor, and
general regret is expressed at his
resignation. The appointment of
Senor Manuel Roman as fcis suc-
cessor is considered satisfactory to
Munoz. Roman is a professional
politician and belongs to the same
party as Munoz,
YOUNG MAN MURDERED.
Two Negros Have Been Arrested
Charged With the Crime,
Monticello, Nov. 22.—Joseph
Pope, son of Mr. Thomas C. Pope,
who was a prominent man here, was
murdered Saturday night.
The young man was found lying
under a cedar tree about thirty
yards from the railroad track in a
pasture in the rear of the county
jail lot. His skull was crushed and
his head beaten'jjn, as if it were
done by some dull and heavy instru¬
ment. A bullet hole through the
forehead to the back of the head
was also found. Evidences of a
severe struggle were apparent and
the tree and fences near by were
spattered with blood.
The object of the murder is
thought to have been robbery, as he
had just drawn money from the
bank a short time before. Circum¬
stances point to the guilt of two ne¬
groes, who have been arrested, and
it is thought 'that they may be
lynched, as the young man was ve¬
ry popular with every one, and the.
people are highly incensed.
POPE’S ASSASSIN
HANGED BY MOB
Negro Taken From Monticello Jail
and Swung Up.
Monticello,Ga., November 22.—
About a quarter of a mile south of
Monticello, at the end of a cotton
rope and suspended from a large
mulberry tree, hangs the lifeless
body of Ed Merriwither, the negro
who murdered young Joe Pope last
Saturday night.
Early this morning people from
the country came teeming into town
until the streets were thronged
They w T ere frenzied from the first,
but after the funeral procession of
young Pope passed through town
the hitherto well restrained rage
began to assert itself in menaces
and threats that proved not idle.
About 3 130 this afternoon a de¬
termined set approached Sheriff
Wilburn and his deputy,Campbell,
and demanded the jail keys. They
were met with a peremptory re¬
fusal, but would not take this* for
satisfaction. The officers were
caught and thrown to the ground
and the keys taken from their pock¬
ets.
Sheriff Wilburn positively refus¬
ed to reveal the cage combination
and though threatened, held his se¬
cret. There was, however, some
one in the gang who by service as
bailiff knew the combination.
Merriwither was taken quietly
from the jail and led about 300
yards beyond the scene of his crime
and swung up. His body was per-
forted with bullets.
Before his death, he implicated
three other negroes. Two of these
are under arrest. Every effort is
being made to save them.
Federal Prison For The South.
Washington, November 21.—
Atlanta is to get the new United
State prison for the south. Attor¬
ney General Griggs announced his
decision to this effect today.
Just before leaving the city to at¬
tend the funeral of his brother, the
attorney general sent for Congress¬
man Livingston and announced
that he had decided upon Atlanta
as the location for the prison.
There is but one condition at¬
tached to the location—the city of
Atlanta 16 to furnish the ground for
the site.
Some time ago when Colonel
Livingston had carried his fight for
the prison to the point where it
was necessary for him to be able to
say what inducement, aside from
its natural advantages, Atlanta
w’ould hold out, he consulted with
city officials and other prominent
citizens and was authorized to say
Atlanta would duplicate any offer
made by any other southern city.
All that is asked of Atlanta is that
the government be given the neces¬
sary grounds for the site, although
other cities offered more; and
onel Livingston feels that
promises will be promptly
good.
(RAISE I MORE AVHEAT.
i ADVICE TO FARMERS
j
Commissioner of Agriculture
Stevens Talks of Necessity
of Larger Wheat Crops.
TELLS HOW IT CAN BE BONE.
He Urges Them to Go to Work Early
and Piant Large Crop. Also
Touches on the Oat Crop.
Commissioner of Agriculture, O.
B. Stevens, is heartily in favor of a
large wheat crop, and is urging the
farmers to get to work early and
make the wheat yield as great as
possible. In regard to this Mr.
Stevens said today :
“Before it gets too late 1 wish
to urge upon the farmers of Geor¬
gia, particularly those in the mid¬
dle and upper sections of the 6tate,
the importance of planting a large
wheat crop.
The conditions are such that there
is little or no hope for any materi¬
al advance in the price of cotton for
the present crop, and even should
there be a decided reduction in the
the acreage of cotton next year, so
large will be the surplus carried
over from the accumulation of two
very heavy crops in succession that
prices will in all probability be
very low for the crop that will be
grown in 1899. With such a pros¬
pect ahead, the thoughtful farmer
will seek for some other crop than
cotton from which he may hope
for at least a moderate reward for
his labor. For the sections of the
state above mentioned, the growing
of wheat seems to offer relief from
the tharldom of cotton. Even in
the section south of Macon good
crops of wheat can be grown on
the stiff red lands that are to be
found in greater or less amounts in
every county of south Georgia.
As a money crop, wheat is just as
available as cotton, for there are
buyers ready to take it at its mar¬
ket value in every town in Georgia.
SHOULD PLANT AT ONCE.
My advice, therefore, is to plant
as soon as possible a large acreage
in wheat. Select your best land;
break it deeply (though do not
bring the subsoil clay to the sur¬
face) ; harrow, and if necessary re¬
harrow until you get all lumps and
clods broken up; then either drill,
or broadcast the seed,cover lightly.
For fertilizing apply either stable
or cow manure, or if without these,
use 200 pounds of good acid phos¬
phate and 100 pounds of kanit per
acre; and when the wheat starts to
growing off in the spring broadcast
from 50 to 75 pounds of subnitrate
of soda to the acre.
For seed, get the bluestem or the
fullcaster wheat, as these varieties
have been found to succeed best in
the state. Both these varieties can
be bought here at about a dollar a
bushel.
By following the advice given,
you will not only make a crop of
wheat, but can follow that with
peas sown broadcast, and gather a
heavy crop of peavine hay, than
which there is none better.
SHOULD SOW OATS.
In addition to planting largely
of wheat, from which our farmers
may realize a profit, I earnestly ad¬
vise a liberal sowing of oats to
supplement the short corn crop in
middle and north Georgia. Do not
delay the planting of this import¬
ant crop, for one acre of November-
sown oats will, as a rule, yield
twice as much as the same acreage
sown in the spring. Of course you
must take the risk of winter-killing;
but there is no crop that a farmer
plants that is not subject to loss
and even total destruction, from
the forces of nature, and the uread
of such calamities should deter no
farmer frorn planting his crops at
the proper time.- Should your oats
be killed by cold - weather, sow
again as soon as possible.
“For fall sowing the Texas rust¬
proof or the winter grazing oats are
both good varieties; the latter will
best stand cold weather, but the
former will produce the heavier crop
j if not killed by the cold. Next year,

by reason of the low price of cotton
will be particularly hard on those
farmers who have made short corn
crops, and everv means should be
used by them to help out their scant
supply. Much can be done on this
line by sowing rye or a mixture of
rye, oats and barley, which will
furnish good pasturage through
the spring months and can then be
turned under preparatory to plant¬
ing some other crop on the land.
1 he time has come when our farmers
must abandon the all cotton busi¬
ness, and right now they should
make a beginning in this direction.
Let each one for himself resolve
that he will henceforth raise ail sup¬
plies of every kind that can be
produced on his farm, buying noth¬
ing that he can grow or uiakv. ..nd
prosperity and contentment will ere
long replace the gloom and des¬
pondency which now overshadow
out state.”
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the" vital
organs. If the liver is inactive,
you have a bilious look, if your
stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look ; if your kidneys are
affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. “Electric
Bitters is a good Alterative and
L'onic. Acts directly on the stom¬
ach, liver and kidneys, purifies the
blood, cures pimples, blotches and
boils, and gives a good complexion.

letter from Admiral Dewey, under
the date of October 3rd. in which
the admiral says :
“I trust the entire archipeligo

KEELY’S SECRETS MAY
NOT BE BURIED
Stockholders of Motor Company
Say the Work of the Inven¬
tor Will Go On.
Philadelphia, Nov. 22.—Stock¬
holders of the Keely Motor com
pany have not abandoned the hope
that the secret of the life of John
W. Keely will not be buried with
the inventor on Wednesday. ~~
B. L. Ackerman, of New York,
the president of the company,came
to Philadelphia in response to a
telegram from Mrs. Keely. When
he reached the house of mourning
in Oxford street, he was told that
Mrs. Keely was too much prostrat¬
ed to see him. Mr. Ackerman
subsequently visited the office of
the Motor company. He said :
“I have been closely associated
with Mr. Keely in his work for 25
years, and I was among the first to
see the value of his plans. As a
merchanical engineer I have fre¬
quently examined his machines and
I have oftpn discussed his experi¬
ments with him. Therefore today
I have greater faith than I have
ever had in the practical value of
his discoveries. Mr. Keely has
prepared a manuscript of more than
2,000 pages which reveals all the
secrets discovered by him.
“That manuscript, I understand,
was in the possession of Mrs. Keely
and, therefore, while it is almost
too early to discuss the future of
the work, it seems to me that with
the information in the manuscript
and the knowledge in the possession
of Lancaster Thomas and Charles
B. Collier, there need be little
doubt that the work of Keejy will
be carried forward.
“There are now on the board of
directors, besides myself, Lancas¬
ter Thomas, vice president; C. W.
Schellermann, secretary; Joseph
G. Smith, of New York; George
E. Hastings, of Montclair, N. J.,
and A. M. Colmy, of New York.
“We will attend the tuneral
Wednesday and following that a
preliminary meeting will be heid.
The regular meeting of the board
will be held November 29, and
prior to that meeting we will en¬
deavor to get all the information
possible. If Mrs. Keely’s condi¬
tion will warrant it she my attend
the session.”
