nouncement that Bob Doxey and t
widow Johnson had been arrested
on suspicion, supported by strong
.circumstantial evidence, of\murder-
ing.’by, poisoning, Mrs, Bob Doxey.
Doxey"resides about twelve miles
southeast of thi*pl|ce,'a'i dbei alto
the Mrs.Johnson itfquestion. About
a month ago Doxeyand Mrs. John
son are Mid to hsvi ‘taken a trip'
over about Tupelo. After their re-'
turn tome two arteti |gd, ; Doxey
and 'Mri. Doxey were jdvftdd to
Mrs. Johnson’s to spend the night
While there it is stated thgt Mrs.
Johnson gave Mrs. Doxey a piece
of muskmelon to eat, 'add that
within a few minutes after eating
it she was seized with vomiting and
retching, and the story goes that
Mrs, Johnson gays the sick woman
two doses of quinine, but that, she
Continued to grow worse ana died
within a short period of time It is
stated that no physician was called
in time to minister to the woman,
if at all, The woman was buried
before suspicion set in, but when, it
was recalled that the relatibns. of
Doxey and Mrs. Johnson were hot
strictly correct, and tho . circum
stances attending her death were
revised, whispers of fdul play soon
grew into.words. ts i
In the meantime, Doxey and the
widow Johnson had each disposed
of their crops' and effects, prepare-,
tory to leaving the country. ‘‘Under
this condition of ^circumstances,
warrants were sworn but and Mrs.
Johnson was arrested at her home,
with a wagon loaded preparatory to
moving away. Doxey had left, and
was arrested <n New Albany, Union
county. The parties are undergoing
a preliminary trial at Bethlehem, be
fore the mayor ot that town. The
body will be exhumed and the re
quired post mortem examination
gone into. *
The theory is that Mrs. Johnson
did the poisoning ate the instigation
of Doxey. Doxey’s mother resides
in this city, and is a sister of the
late Gen. Thos. C. Hindman, of Ar
kansas. She has two other sons,
John and Hindmah, highly respect-
cd: boys. There are many ugly
stories afloat regarding the relations
of the parties arrested. . ,
Gen. Grant was staying with me
during.the canvas of the election
between Tildcn and Hayes, and on
the morning of the momentous day
he nccompanied me fomy office. In.
a few moments an eminent republi
can senator and one or two other
leading republicans walked in, and
they went over the returns. These
leaders said “Hayes it elected,” an
opinion in which the others coin
cided. Gen. Grant listened but
he raid: ftGehtlej&fen, it looks to
ington and Mid: “This matter it
very complicated, and the peoplo
will not oe satisfied unless some
thing is done in regard to it which
willlook like justice.” * “Now,".he
continued,. “I have spoken of an
Electoral Commission, and the,lead
ers of the party are opposed to it,
which I am sorry to see. They say,
that if an Electoral Commission is
appointed you might as well count
in Mr; Tilden. I would sooner
have Tilden than that the republi
cans should,have ( -a President who
could be stigmatized a.i<a fraud. If
I were Mr, Hayes I would not have
it unless it was settled in some way
outside of the senate This matter
is opposed by the leading republi
cans in the house and senate and
throughout the country.”

Wheeling, W. Va., Aug. 30.—
Intelligence from Clay court house
says a strange disease has. broken

outbreak occurred is in the region
along the Valley of Sycamore

ipg senators to dine with him that
day to get their sentiment. He
said to me: “You see the feeling
here. I find, them almost universal
ly opposed to anything like an elec
toral commission,” I named a
leading democrat in the house who
was, perhaps, one of the most pro
minent men in the countty, a man
of great influence and of great' in
tegrity of charac.er, whom it would
be well for Gen. Grant to see in
the matter, and the suggestion was
acted on. I sent for that gentle
man and put the dilemma to him in
President Grant’s name as follows:
“It is very hard for the President
and very embarrassing to men on
his side that this matter does not
seem to find favor with them as
well ns to have a democratic oppo
sition. Republicans think 'you
might as well count Tilden in, but
as the feeling throughout the coun
try demands as honest a count of the
thing as possible, this electoral com
mission ought to be ap
pointed.” The answer at qnce
was that the democrats would favor
it, and it was through that gentle
man and Gen. Grant that the matter
was carried through. Grant was
the originator of the plan. He sent
for Mr. Coukling, and said with
deep earnestness: “This matter is
s-very serious one, and the people
ieel it very deeply. I think this
electoral commission ought to be.
appointed.” Conkling answered,
“Mr. President, Senator Morton,
(who was then' the acknowledged
leader of the senate) is opposed to
it, and opposed to your efforts; but
if you wish the commission carried
I can do it” “He said: “I wish it,
done."
Mr. Conkling took hold of the
matter and put it through. The
leading democrat I have spoken of
took the initiative in the house and
Mr. Conkling in the senate. Gen.
Patterson, of Philadelphia, who was
an intimate friend of Gen. Jackson,
and a life-long democrat, was also
sent for. He had large estates in
the south, and. a great deal of influ-
snee with the democrats, snd par
ticularly with southern democrats.
Gen. Patterson was upward of
eighty, but he came down there and
remained one or two weeks, work
ing hard to accomplish the purpose
in view. After the bill had passed
and was waiting for signature, Gen.
Grant went to a state fair; in Mary
land the day it should have been
signed, and there was wuch pertur-
,ballon about it i< - •
Gen. Grant acted in good faith
throughout the whole business. It
lus be'n Mid that the changing
cotnr iexion of the court threw the.
matter into Hayes’ hands, and if the
court had remained as it was, Tilden
would have been declared Presi
dent Gen. Grant Was the soul of
honor In ttds tattle*,, «nd no one
ever accused hint or even hinted
that he was untruthful in any way.

could tell a He or act deceitfully.

t The chances are that the Phila

Assuming that the Philadelphia

an easy matter, to convict Maxwell.
