Memphis, Mny 2.—[Special.]—This
morning in t.ne Police Court, Liz
zie Ackerman, wife of Jake
Ackerman, one of the most notorious
thieves, burglars, highwaymen, and es
caped convicts in the country, shot him
to death as lie stood at the bar of Justice.
Ackerman was arrested at his wife’s in
stigation on Monday night for assault,
threats to kill, anil vagrancy. He was
arraigned this morning for trial in the
police court presided over by Commiss
ioner Bothell and Eecorder Garvin.
When the case was called Ackerman
stepped to the bar, and was approached
by his wife, who wore a short cloak
which concealed her hands. As she
reach® 1 his side a report was heard, and
the man fell to the ground with a bul
let in his abdomen.
The hand of the woman was immedi
ately grasped by Col. N. C. Taylor, her
husband’s lawyer, but she tired two
more shots into the prostrate body.
The wounded man was removed -o a
rear room, where he bied an hour later.
The woman was taken to the county
jail. She was perfectly cool and delib
erate, and expresses no regret for her
act.
Ackerman was known to every detec
tive in the United States. His father
was n:i Alderman oi this city, but Jake
was a thief from boyhood. In 1874 he
and two companions robbed a jewelry
store in this city, aud his pals werekill-
ed in resisting arrest. Later he was
with a gang of thieves, one of whom
killed Police Captain Perry while try
ing to arrest tic m. Still later he cut
and nearly killed a man in the Peabody
hotel. In 1878 he left Memphis, and
that year got into trouble at St. Louis.
That year he married a respectable wo
man in Vincennes, lnd., who secured a
divorce when she learned his true oliar-
acied.
In 1884 lie married the woman who
killed him m Topeka, Kansas. Her
name was Lizzie Broderick. Three
mouths later he robbed Hooker’s jewel
ry store of a tray of diamonds in Des-
moines, la., and was sent to the peni
tentiary from which he escaped. lie
was again arrested for another offence,
nnd jumped a bail b >nd of $1,000 fur
nished by his father-in-law. He then
went to Jacksonville, Fla., was again
arrested for robbery, and escaped from
jail Hie same day. He was next heard
from at Grenada, Miss., the following
spring. At that place he and a man
named Gorman from Vincennes, lnd.,
attacked an Italian on the south-bound
train of the Illinois Central road. They
threw him from the train, robbed him
of nearly $1,000, aud left him for d-a«l.
The two men were arrested, convicted,
and sentenced to ten years in the peni
tentiary. In company with two guards
and two other convicts, Ackerman was
put on board the train to go to Jackson,
Miss., to serve out his sentence. H>* in
structed his fellow prisoner’s to call for
water both at the same time. When the
guards got up Ackerman jumped out of
the window, while the train was mov
ing at the rate of about thirty miles an
hour and made his escape in the dense
woods. After eluding capture for
weeks Ackerman was at length recap
tured and taken to the Jackson peniten
tiary.
New York, Mny 2.—[Special.]—A
Herald special from Paris, Texas, says:
Information readies here of a reign of a
terror that prevails at Lehigh, I. T., a
mining town of about twelve hundred
inhabitants in the Choctaw nation, on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
way. There is no municipal govern
ment and border toughs have collected
there and acknowledge allegiance to the
law.
AUTHORITY POWURT.KSS.
The Indian authorities are powerless,
and those of the United btates are
thwarted. Until a few weeks ago there
wa£ a semblance of order, but the city
marshal was compelled to resign, being
informed that if he failed to do so, he
would be lynched. In defiance of the
law3 of the United States and the Indian
country, the vilest of liquors are sold.
MURDER NOT UNCOMMON.
Murder is by no means uncommon.
There is a secret organization iu the
town similar to the Molly Maguires,
that domineers and terrorises the whole
population. There are some respectable
places, but all they have depends upon
their silence, and they acquiesce iu the
lawless deeds.
THE TOUGHS ON TOP.
Recently an attempt was made to or
ganize a municipal government but the
lawless element elected Uie officers.

Roberts was murdered while trying to
arrest Jean Demond, a French miner.

LABOR’S GREAT DAY.

In the Old
London. May 2.—[Special.]—The city
is remarkably quiet considering all cir
cumstances, aud the general opiuion
here is that the behavior of the working
classes to-day will have a very marked
effect in winning for them and their de
mands the serious and kindly attention
of employing classes and national gov
ernment. The silly attempt at making
Orlcanist capital out of the day in
France has fallen quite flat, and has put
its is movers to disgrace and ridicule.

and only local and limited disturbances

In Spain the strikers continue uneasy,
but without any general violence.
The agitators may give the authori
ties some trouble later iu the day, and

to with anxiety in some quarters, but

At no preceding session of congress
has such a.deluge of documents of this

THE SUB-TREASURY ULAN.
It remains to he seen what the senate

do with the sub-treasury hill. They
may smother it; they may leport it and
then dodge. They will have to do some
thing or lake to the woods.
The house is worrying over the copy-

Breckinridge, of Kentucky. This is a
very oh 1 measure and was first intro
duced in congress by Henry Clay fifty

attempted to pass it hut failed. It
stands a good chalice to pass to-day, al
though the rote will not be unanimous

it was seen that the vessel was doom

“It was a thrilling spectacle, arid

eye-witness who arrived on the 12:40

The mention of Mayor Glenn’* possible

Small is to be a candidate. The wish of
some people seems to be father to the.
thought iu this instance and Sam is to
be ordained to the Episcopal ministry
in June, and it is safe to say that if he
expects to become an Episcopal minis

becoming a candidate for any politica

President Samuel Gompers, of the

through the city to-day, en route from
Yew York to Louisville,- to take part in
the eight hour demonstration, which is

A Narrow Escape from Death
Storm at Sea.
Louisville, Ky„ May 1.—[Special.]—
Ex-Congressman Oscar Tucker has a
letter from his daughter saying that
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, with
herself and husband, A. D. Milliken,
had a narrow escape from drowning
while sailing along the Florida coast
near Punta Gortla.
Iu a violent storm the decks of their
boat, a small sailing craft, were swept
clean all baggage going with the rest.
For some mouths past Mr. Milliken
and his wife have been wintering on the
lower coast of Florida. Last week they
started to come North on a steamer.
When they had nearly reached Naples,
on the Gulf, a part of the machinery
of the steamer broke and she had to tie
up at that resort. Mr. and Mrs. Milli-
ken and Miss Cleveland, who was with
them, was very anxious to on to Punta
Gorda, and decided to charter a sailboat
and go on in that way. They secured
the boat, and after their baggage and
traps hall all been stored aboard they
started on their trip.
The sailboats in use on the Florida
coast are mostly light crafts and not safe
in a storin'or even a heavy squall. The
pany was well on its way to Pu-ita
Gorda, when a great storm came up at
night and all attempts tokcep the boat’s
head on to the sea were futile. The
waves rolled over her again aud again,
until it seemed to all on board that she
must be pounded to pieces by them.
The decks were swept of everything by
the seas, and the gloom thatsurrouuded
them was appalling. Ail me baggage
was swept away, and all that could be
doue by the voyagers was to cling to the
boat.
After hours of suspense the storm
abated, and the beat, with great diffi
culty, was got into port at Punta Gor
do.

A Party of Texas Driven to the Trees
by the Rise in the Red River.
Binoiiam, Tex., May 1.—[Special.]—
A few days ago parties from White-
W right, in Grayson County, and Savoy,
in this county, went hunting and fish
ing in Indian Territory. Before they
became aware of their perilous position
they were surrounded by water, caused
by the recent rise, and being completely
cut off. front high ground, were compell
ed to take to the trees. They can be
beard shouting for help, but no one can
reach them. They have been in the trees
two days.
A relief party left here yesterday with
ropes and boats, but as Red River is full
of driftwood and the current very rapid
it is doubtful if they .will succeed in af
fording help. The chances are ten to
one the entire party will perish.
It was murder!
This fact was established bovond a
reasonable .doubt by the coroner’s jury
in the case of Ed. Sabb th, the negro
boy, whose dead body was found a few
days since in a cotton bin on the planta
tion of Mr. R. K. Reaves near Athens.
The jury went into a very careful and
painstaking trial of the niystt rious case
and examined a large number of wit
nesses from whom they could get no
positive evidence. Everything had i n
gir of mystery about it and it was diffi
cult to get to the bottom of the affair.
It was quite evident that foul means
had been used in removing the negro
boy from life but us to who used them
there could notiiing he found. There
was bare evidence that lie had had a
quarrel a short time previously with an
other negro boy, but this was not d ern-
od sufficient to fix the guilt upon the
boy. Whoever committed the deed ev
idently tried to conceal the body anil
succeeded very well in so doing.
Everyone is anxious to capture the
person or persons guilty of this crime
and every effort will be made to bring
the guilty parties to justice.
Tno coroner’s jury after reviewing
the case returned the following verdict:
“We, the jury, after having held an
inquest over the dead body of Ed Sab
bath, a persou of color, find that fi u
means were used in the murder of said
boy, and that he came to his death at
the hands of some unknown party or
parties. David E. Sims, Foreman.

There’s a corset that isn't
a corset, a waist with straps
for the shoulders and rows
of buttons to button on
skirts and stocking supporters
and so forth—the Ball Waist
—and that’s about the whole
of it. No; you can put It
in the washtub—no metal in
it or on it.
It is worth your seeing, u
for nothing but how to sew
on buttons to button easy and
never come off, and how to
make buttonholes wear for
ever.
Wpmen differ in their
pf thinking find dressing $
well as fn other ways. This
waist is for women whose
minds are made up that they
won’t wear corsets, ..
There’s much to be saw
op both sides; but did y® 1 *
ever hear of a woman wn°
hadn't made up her mind m
some way? and is there any
P ossible use in trying to-g®j
er to change it? She wm
and she will; or she wont
and she wort’t, . • 0 ,«
You __can get the Bai
Waist and wear it a weeico
two or three; and, u
don’t want it, bring it back
us and get your money.
