Caur of Tonnji Froiu Folk County Was l niqne—Had Itftn Sent I t> for Life for Trying to Dorn a Hole In the Jail—Ulanrork Citlaena Peti tioned for Witcher's Pardon—The Other Case Win From Riehmond County. Atlanta, June 25—Gov. Candler Issued three pardcns to-day, two of the prisoners being charged with arson, and the third George Taylor, a white man from Rtch mon county being charged with assault with intent to murder. The two arson prisoners were Ltge Young, sent up for life from Polk county, and Warren Witcher sent up in 1891, for twenty years, from Glascock. The case of the Polk county negro is unique. In ISBI he was confined In the Polk jail awaiting trial for larceny. At the instigation of a white prisoner he burned a hole in the jail in order to escape. The gTand jury indicted him for arson and toe was giv?n a life sentence. A few weeks ago the negro on his own motion wrote a letter to Judge Turner, chairman of the prison board, reciting these facts. The judge said if they were true he should be released for the Su preme Court had ruled prior to this man's conviction that an attempt to burn out of jail was not arson but simply an attempt to escape. The investigation was made, and the Polk county authorities substantiated the negro's story and the board recommended a pardon, which the Governor granted this afternoon, there being no petition, no lawyers, nothing ex cept the letter of the prisoner and a state ment from the Polk county officers veri fying what he said. Walden, the Populist member of the Legislature from Glascock, was the pros ecutor in the other arson case, and asked the Governor to notify him when the case would be heard. The Governor no tified Col. Walden several days ago that the papers were before him, and be would be glad to hear from him. incidentally telling him that 500 white citizens of his county had petitioned for the negro's re lease Walden refused to appear before the Governor, saying that If his neigh bors wanted to turn loose a red-handed arson fiend on the country, he would have nothing more to say. The pardon was granted. STATE TREASU RY AT LOW EBB. Available Fund Will Be Small Until Fall Taxes Come in. Atlanta, June 25—Funds in the state treasury will be low till the fall taxes come in.

T eir departure was marked by several stirring in idents. which served to show whr<t a spe tale high strung nerves and unstrung tongues are capable of produc- The two men had been detained nt Ell - Island sir. e he:r arrival in por:. while their case was being considered by the federal authorities. They were taken yesterday to the barge office ard placed n the deporting pen. While there wait ing for the wagon, which was to take them to the steamer. they indulged in a tirade upon the Anglo-Saxon race in gen eral, arid their own bad luck in particu lar. ' Skin the Goat" became particu larly demonstrative and endeavored to convince another unfortunate, who was also awaiting (Uporta*ion, that the case of the three men was us unjust as that of Shidrach. Meshach and Abednego, af ter Nebuchadnezzar had ordered them bound for the fiery furnace. At the end of the tirade “the Dwarf" added, by way of explanation, that Shadrach was As syrian for Shamrock. After hurling sev eral diatribes at ihe officials by whom he was guarded, “the Dwarf’ shouted in a high-pitched voice: “Me and me pard bees a-getting it worser than what the lowest down in the worstest of English prisons gets.’’ “And right under the Statue of Lib erty. oo.’’ exclaimed the more intellect ual Fitzharris, leaping to his feet. “Oh, sit down. Jim,” remarked “the Dwarf,” with a shrug. “The thing's hol lo w-y” A roar of laughter follow'ed this sally, and several babies who had feared ’o cry during the speech of “Skin the Goat" now broke out toge her in cne tumultuous yell. But in spite of the government of th* United States the two F niin< were to obtain one glimpse of their forbidden Ca naan. although only a glim; se. and in stead of a Mount Pisgah their view was from the top of an express wagon, under the guardianship of several government officers. Having mounted the wagon ‘ Skin ihe Goat" made a leap for the seat The officers thought this a dash tor lib erty and caught* his outflying coat tails. “I only wanted to pay my respect to the country," he said, and therewith he took off his dark gretn ha* and mad * a low bow' in the direction of the Produce Exchange "And wat bees you a-doing?" asked “The Dwarf.” “Shut up, you guy!” was the answer. “That’s tHe parliament building.” The crowd which had surrounded the wagon raised a great shout as it rolled away. The trip up Broadway to Twenty founh stre t. proved uneventful. Officers Webber, Herrick and Falder guarded well the two Irishmen, along with six others who were also to he deported. From Broadway the wagon went to the, pier of the Anchor line, whore one of the men was put aboard the Furnessia. The two “invincible®" were then hurried to Cunard steamship Serv;a and put In the steerage. It is customary for persons who are be ing dep rtei to be lo ked up on board ship until the sailing of the vessel. Ac cordingly Mullet and Fitzharris were tak en to the steerag hasp tal and the bolts n the > or* --ufSiio There was a moment of absolute silence within, and the officers of the ship who had the Fen ians under surveillance congratulated themselves on the docility of their cap tives. A moment later, a fat negro, blowing and puffing, came up the hatchway. Miss ing the last step, he rolled over in a heap on the deck. It proved to be one of the stewards. “Oh! Blessed Lawd! Whew! whew' De> # s a-breakin*' down de do'! Whew! whew! whew! Dey's roarin' an' swearin’ down dare like as de wild beasts, dey are! Whew !” A sound of cracking panels was enough to corroborate the story. The officials succeeded in reaching the swaying door before its hinges had been torn off, and held it shut. Just at this moment “Skin the Goat" attempted to plunge his head out of the porthole and draw out the rest o? ilia body by ;j series of violent contortions. The captive’s face was white with rage, and after an original epilogue he yelled as a reminder of the fiery fur nace of old: “Stop, you Britishers. You are worse than the Americans.

Mullet!, in the meantime, was batter ing the door like a catapult, and at in tervals he flung some heavy iron missile against the panels. Friends of the two men at las* inter posed. and on the promise of "Skin the Goat" that he would not attempt to es cape, he and his comrade were permitted to go on the steerage deck. As this was the only triumph they had achieved since coming to this shore, the two Fenians held a levee among their fellow passengers and fr ends Among the latter were Maj. Roan ree. Edward L. Carey. O'Donovan Rcssa. Capt, J 'hn Ker w.n and Mrs. Lillian Bren and. the daugh ter of Capt. Led wall, who was warden of Mount Joy prison when Mullett and Fitzharris were there. Jus* before the vessel sailed they made the following parting statement: We have been treated shamefully here. The government has treated us badly, and the press has been against us. I say to you that you are bough* by English gold, and the sooner the British flag is hoisted at Washington the better it will be." As the vessel pulled out into the stream neither of the men appeared at the rail. Files Cured Without the Knife. Itching, blind, bleeding or protruding piles.
