DEATH OF GOV. SAMFORD.
OIL NEAR BIRMINGHAM.
NO THIRD TERM FOR HIM
Not Only Will He Not lie a Candidate,
but lie Would Not Accept Another j
Nomination Kur tlic Presidency If li j
Were Tendered Him.
Washington, Juue 11.—The following
statement has been given out at the j
White House:
“I regret that the suggestion of a \
third term has been made. I doubt ,
whether I am called upon to give it no- i
rice. But there tire now questions of j
the gravest importance before the ad- j
ministration and the country and their !
just consideration should not be preju- i
diced in the public mind by even the
suspicion of the thought of a third term. |
In view, therefore, of the reiteration of j
the suggestion of it, I will say now, |
once lor ail, expressing a long settled:
conviction, that I not only am not and
will not be a candidate for a third term, j
but would not accept a nomiuation for j
it if it were tendered me.
“My ambition is to serve through my
second term to the acceptance of my j
countrymen, whose generous confidence j
Iso deeply appreciate, ana then with i
them to do my duty in the ranks of pri- j
vate citizenship.

Alabama’s Chief Executive Passes
Peacefully Away.
Tuscaloosa, Ala., Juue 12.—William
J. Samford, governor of Alabama, died
at the residence of Professor and Mrs.
A. A. Persons at 10:55 o’clock last night
of chronic valvular disease of the heart.
His death was sudden, though known
to be impending. He was surrounded
by all members of his family when the
end came, save his two oldest sons, W.
II. and T. Samford, and .his married
daughters, Mrs. Janies Smith and Mrs.
S. A. Dowell of Opelika.
Governor Samford came here from
Stafford’s Springs, Miss., on May 24,
enroute to Montgomery, and decided to
stay over a day or so with his relatives,
Professor and Mrs. Persons. He after
wards decided to remain long enough to
attend the annual meeting of the uni
versity trustees. He attended almost
all of the meetings.
During the time he had a number of
sinking spells with his heart, which did
not become known to the general public.
On Thursday of last week his condition
became so critical that a statement was
given to the public.
He has grown stronger and then weak
er since that time, suffering very severely
during Sunday night. Monday and
early Tuesday he did moderately well,
but yesterday afternoon bo became
worse, his condition at 5 o’clock becom
ing extremely critical, hypostatic con
gestion of the lungs having set in.
However, his wonderful vitality caused
him to revive later on, but the physi
cians had practically given up all hopes.
The distinguished patient seemed
somewhat better only a short time be
fore the end came and spoke tojiis wife
2 minutes before he expired. His pulse
and respiration failed very suddenly
and he was dead before those about
him could hardly realize it.
THIRD PRESIDENTIAL TERM. SURE TO BE LYNCHED.
Speaker Henderson Expresses / Hi-
Views on the Question.
New York, June 11. —Hon. D. B.
Henderson, speaker of the house of rep
resen ratives, is quoted by the Paris cor
respondent of The Journal on the third
presidential term as follows:
“Regarding the third term, I will say
first that I am opposed to it as a rule.
“Secondly, there may arise conditions
demanding'it, and therefore the hands
of the country should not be tied up.
“Thirdly, as to President McKinley,
the time has not arrived for discussing
a third term. Continuity iu office might
dull the minds of the people and pre
vent them from perceiving the differ
ence between election and life tenure.
“After 12 years in office, even people
cursed with dullness will ask: ‘Quo
Vadis?’
“The people invariably rectify our
tendency to error.”

Bloodhounds Chase a Man 1 li rough
Swamps For Four Days.
Memphis, Juue 12.—J. H. Vv right,
pursued by bloodhounds through swamp
and canebrake for four days, has sur
rendered to the Menipnis police. He is
wanted for murdering Albert Brumley
and fataiiy wounding A. J. Hunt, at
Covington, iu Randolph county. He
intended to kill Hunt and a man named
Bloom, but instead killed Brumley, a
bystander.
Wright has made a startling confession
charging that he was at home when the
crime was committed; that there was a
consoiracy between himself and bis
youngest son, James, aged 24, to kill
Hunt and Bioorn. A part of the con
spiracy was that himself and sou should
engage in a sham fight iu the presence
of Hunt and Bloom and kill them both.
Later on the sou, he says, killed Hunt
and fatally wounded Brumley.
'Wri°ht savs he fled to avoid being
lynched and walked all the way to
Memphis. He is 84 years of ago and H
seems almost certain lie will be lynched
when returned to the scene of the crime.
The son will be arrested also.
Covington has been wrought up since
the crime and the people say they wiii
mere out justice without the aid of a
'-urt.

of Its Presence.
Birmingham, Ala., June 10. — Ala
bama expects to bore oil wells in the
near future and work will be done iu
both the southern and northern portions
of the state. O. F. Z. Caracristi, au oil
expert, who is making a tour of* the
south for the purpose of investigating
the oil fields, is in Birmingham, where
companies are being formed for the pur
pose of making a definite search for oil.
He refuses to give any derails as to the
result of his preliminary investigation
in this section, but says that he would
not be surprised if oil would be found in
this part of the state.
Mr. Caracristi carries credentials
showing that he is acquainted with the
subject in which he deals, aud talks in
terestingly of Russian aud Peruvian oil
fields. He does not doubt that oil will
be found iu Alabama as weli as in Lou
isiana aud Texas, if bored after prop
erly.
There is much attention being given
in this state to the search of oil and the
first gusher or weli brought in will
cause a general activity in numerous
parts of the state where there is the
slightest suspicion of the existence of oil.
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.
.Embezzler Going Back to 8aciic of
His Crime.
Memphis, Juue 10.—W, W. Kidd,
formerly superintendent of schools at
Guntersville, Ala., who is charged with
embezzling school funds five years ago,
passed through Memphis this morning,
enroute from Newport, Ark., where he
was captured, to the scene of his crime.
Kidd was on a cot, hovering between
life aud death, with J. W. Wright, the
deputy having him in custody, acting as
nurse. The prisoner was shot while
being.arrested, aud may never live to
reach his destination. He was arrested
near Newport, Ark., Wednesday.
No Early Closing.
Tampa, Fla., Juue 10 —Two young
men employed iu prominent stores in
the lower part of the city circulated a
petition looking toward an early closing
movement. All the merchants iu the
First and Second wards signed the peti
tion, except two. This was encourag
ing, aud it was deemed safe to say that
the two could bo closed. The petition
then began to circulate in the Fourth
ward. Then it met a chilling frost.
Almost unanimously the merchants in
that section decided to refuse the peti
tion. Of course, with such a large num
ber failing to participate in the early
closing movement, it fell through.
Protracted Session of the Coroner’s
Jury Accomplished but Little To

three withstood
of the Double Crime.
Atlanta, June II.—The coroner’s in
quest into the cause of the death of lit
tle Berta Jackson, the adopted daughter
of R. S. Flowers, the Decatur dairyman,
whose dead body was found Monday
morning iu a small stream of water be
tween Decatur and Poplar Spring, de
veloped the fact that the child had been
assaulted and murdered.
There were evidences of the girl hav
ing been beaten and choked. On one
side of her throat was a cut made by a
knife, but whether before or after her
death is not known.
According to the evidence, the girl
was last seen alive at her adopted fath
er’s home Wednesday afternoon about 4
o’clock. •
The girl was assaulted aud murdered
and the body carried to the woods and
thrown into the creek to cover up the
crime.
If the jury suspected any particular
person or persons of having committed
the crime they did not show it by the
questions they asked the witnesses. The
jurors appeared to be at sea aud the fur
ther they got into the case the deeper
the mystery seemed.
At 11 o’clock last night the jury ad
journed without reaching any decision.
Another meeting will be held next Wed
nesday, when a verdict will probably be
reached.
The Victim.
Roberta Jackson, or Berta Flowers,
was small for her age and appeared to
be about 9 or 10 years old. No one knew
her exact age. Flotvers says he always
believed she was older than the people
in Jackson thought her to be.
The child whose young fife ended in
such a tragic manner had a strange his
tory. Who her parents are nobody
knows. Some one told her about her
past life aud made her believe she was
the daughter of rich pareuts and had
beeu stolen. She talked about this a
great deal and her adopted parents say
it made her morose and dissatisfied.
The woman, Sallie Smith, who car
ried the child to Jackson, went to Chat
tanooga and has never beeu heard of
since.
The child was well known in the
neighborhood about Popiar Spring and
East Lake. The people knew most of
her history and they pitied the little
girl, who seemed to be thrown on the
world to be buffetted about from pillar
to post.
Though she was a nameless waif, her
tragic end has called forth the most in
tense feeling in DeKalb county aud the
authorities wiil do all within their
power to ferret out the double crime aud
bring to justice the person who assault'
ed aud murdered Berta Jackson.

MURDER OF BERTA JACKSON.
Excursion Traill Stoned.
Birmingham, Ala., Juue 10.—Au ex
cursion train which arrived iu the city
Saturday night over the Louisville aud
Nashville railroad from Aunistou had
a rough time at several statious aloug
the road. At Sylacauga, Fayetteville
aud Shelby stones were thrown into the
train and several shots were fired
through the windows. More than 20
windows in the train were smashed aud
one lady from Anniston was seriously
injured by stones and broken glass.
Many of the passengers on the train
were' badly frightened, aud no few are
returning to their respective homes on
the regular homes.
White 51 an Turned Yellow.
Great consternation was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty, of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, aud he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
Stomach aud Liver remedy, aud he
writes: “After taking two bottles I was
wholly cured.” A trial proves its

on Suspicion.
Atlanta, Juue 12.—R. S. Flowers,
foster father of the murdered child,
Berta Jackson, was arrested at his home
near Poplar Spring at 1:30 o’clock this
morning by Sheriff Talley of DeKalb
county. Statements reaching the ears
of the sheriff that Flowers was waiting
for a good opportunity to leave, together,
it is said, with the evidence before the
coroner’s jury, resulted in the arrest of
Flowers.
The dark crime, as dark as ever
blotted the criminal records of DeKalb
county, has stirred up the people and
every possible effort will be made to as
certain who was guilty of the atrocious
crime upon a defenseless little child.
The body of the child was buried yes
terday morning in a country cemetery,
near Decatur. Flowers aud his wife and
a number of their neighbors were in at
tendance.
The coroner’s jury will meet again
this afternoon at 4 o’clock iu the court
house at Decatur.
More evidence will be given by physi
cians who examined the child’s body
and the nature of the injuries will be
more closely gone into.
Dark stains on the floor, a dark
stained bonnet, a crushed head and
some tangled statements are now the
clues upon which the authorities of De
Kalb county, assisted by the Atlanta
detectives, are trying to unravel the
mysterious aud brutal murder.
IT OCCURRED NEAR MACON.
The First Christian Baptism Admiuis-
tered In America.
Macon, June 10. — Vicar General
Keily of the Catholic diocese of Georgia
made the following statement while in
a reminiscent mood:
“The first Christian baptism in Amer
ica took place at about the site of Macon,
Ga., in 1504. This may seem a strange
statement, but it is true. Accompany
ing the expedition cf Hernando de Soto,
who made his memorable tour of dis
covery through this portion of America,
was a Dominican priest, and the re
cords show that two Indians were bap
tized by him in this portion of the coun
try. From the description given I am
satisfied that the baptism occurred at
about where the city of Macon now
stands. ”
Macon has become an important Cath
olic point. St. Stanislaus, the cele
brated Jesuit college, is located here, as
well as the popular Mt de Sales acad
emy, an institution for the education of
girls. The handsomest church edifice
in the state is iu course of erection here
by the congregation of St. Joseph, and
is now rapidly nearing completion. The
imported glass iu the church is said to
have cost $9,000. The Jesuits own much
valuable property iu this city. It is
said that a handsome 4 story school
building for boys will be erected m the
rear of the new St. Joseph church..

as counsel for Benjamin D. Greene,
John F., William T. and Edward H.
Gavnor, accused of conspiracy with
former Captain Carter, U. S. A., to de
fraud the government in connection
with southern harbor improvements,
made a move today to qaestion the va
lidity of the indictment before the su
preme court. He did this by revoking
the bail bonds under which the four
men were held for their appearance to
stand trial iu Savannah, Ga.
The men were surrendered to the cus
tody of the United States marshal, but
a few minutes later they were taken be
fore Judge Lacomb on application for a
writ of habeas corpus. The application
was denied by the judge aud Mr. Rose
took on appeaL The bonds of the four
defendants were then renewed and they
were at once released.
The matter will now be taken before
the supreme court iu Washington, but
cannot be argued before fall, as the su

ber. The questions at issue are the va
lidity of the indictment of the defend
ants by the United States grand jury at
Savannah, the drawing of that grand
jury and the question of jurisdiction.

Policeman William Moore was shot at
the little town of Advance, between
