A CONVICT???S DEATH.
Grows Deeper la My.lery as It Is Xnvestigated--
The Visit of a Strange Couple to a Rural Drug
Store-Closing in on the Malleys With the
Damning Evidences of Their Quilt.
Nkw Haven, September 14.???It is reported that
tjlnce the adjournment in the hearing in the Malloy
caws, last Friday night, the state has made consid
erable progress in discovering new and very imjior-
tant evidence. It has l>een an open question where
the arsenic found in Jennie ('miner's remains was
purehawd. Last Saturday forenoon Attorney Boll-
nan went from this city to Milford, about eight
miles distant, and only two or three from the West
Haven shore. Mr. I tollman and the detectives
are known to have visited S T Buck's
drug store and to have inquired whether
arsenic was sold by him to James Malicy,
Jr., or any one else, on the night of Friday, August
0. Buck is said to have boon a fellow-schoolmate
of James Mallvy, Jr., in this city and must know
him. What the authorities found they refuse to
any. but this has leaked out: that a carriage con
taining a young man and woman drove up in front
of his store that evening. The young man alighted
from the carriage and went into the store ami re
turned witli u gloss of sodo, which was given to
the woman. Now the stute say that this shows
how the arsenic might have been taken wherever pro
cured. To the detective Buck would liot deny that
he hod sr??ld arsenic that night, white he would not
acknowledge it. The authorities consider the visit
to ills place witli more suspicion than they other
wise would if it were not that lie denied all knowl
edge of it until tiaorge Mallett, a shoemaker, men
tioned it. MHllett lives next door to or across the
street from Buck's and lmd ample opportunities for
observation. Atfotlicr fact exciting suspicion is
that Buck???s hook in which lie has recorded the sale
of arsenic die* not tell when any poison was sold
and omits other particulars prescribed by the Con
necticut phnrmnceutieal laws.
The detectives have also been working in another
direction. It will lie remembered that Walter Mal-
lcy is known to have gone to Slumlord on the after
noon of Thursday, August 4, looking;for Jennie
Cramer. The state lias found nothing to explain
tills trip. A detective has been sent to Stamford to
find if any person purchased arsenic there that day.
The four drug sellers were questioned. One admits
that he sold arsenic to a person who gave an address
which has been ascertained to be fictitious. Walter
Mnlley ti-stiticd that on that day he was in Stam
ford. The druggist will in all probability be brought
here to see if he eau identify Walter Malloy. There
was nothing new at the hearing to-day and it was
adjourned lo Wednesday."
Miss Bertha Williamson, a chambermaid at the
Foote house, testified to seeing the i??rty, including
Jennie Cramer, at the hotel on the night of the
murder.

Mr. Westbrook offered ft substitute for the bill

in the right direction, and he would therefore vote
aye. The announcement was greeted with ap
plause.
The following is the full text of the hill as passed:

A Story that Savors of Most Appalling Brutality.
A few days ago The Coswrmrnos published a
short uccount of the death of John Mathews, the
convict near Ball Ground, on the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad. The account was in the
language of an cx-couviot, young Duncan, an At
lanta boy, who was present when the whipping
was done, hut who was subsequently pardoned.
Since the article made its appearance the case
has caused a great deal of comment, and public cu
riosity has run high for fa true statement of the
occurrence ami Tiie Constitution is able this
morning to satisfy that curiosity.
John Mathews was a young white man, sentenced
from Hall county for seven years for burglar}'- Sub
sequent to his conviction, which was since January
last, his health gave way, and he was kept in the
Hull county jail until a few months ngo. when he
was. turned over to the lessees working the Marietta
and North Georgia railroad. From the beginning
of his career as a convict his conduct was good, and
no charge was brought against him until to-day two
weeks ago, when he made an attempt
to escape. On that day Mathews was working on
the riant with the rest of the convicts, near Ball-
ground. He hud on a convict suit ami was shackled
as the rest. About 10 o'clock in the forenoon he
suddenly made a break for freedom, but before he
run far the guard tire*I ul him. The shot missed its
murk and Mathews continued his llight some three
hundred yards, when he was captured by the sheriff
of Cherokee county, who liupponcd to meet him.
and by whom he was returned to the camp and
turned over to Mr Charles Phillips, Jr,
one of the managers of the convicts,
in that lease. When Mathews was turned over to
him ami ids offense made known, Mr Phillips pro-
ceded to punish him by using the strap on his
hack. This he did to such an extent that tile con
vict died and a coroner's jury has since said that
his death is indirectly the result oi the too free use
of the whip.
As to tile whipping, there are many rumors. It is
said that us soon as Mathews was returned to Phil
lips's care, Phillips threw iiim ii|hiii the ground,
ami. taking a pick-ax, drove one point into the
ground beside Mathews's neck, which was placed
under the handle, on which Phillip* placed his foot,
thus pinning the helpless man to the ground. Then
Philips, with his own hand, laid the strap tin until
the flesh parted nml the blood oozed from the ugly
wounds. One application did not ap|icar to be
enough in Phillips???s opinion and for two days, at
stated intervals, the dose was frequently rei>eated
until Mathews???s death prevented further cruelty.
Soon after the convict???s death he was buried
i the grounds set oft" for this
purpose, hut the cruel treatment was
noised about until it reached the ears of Governor
Colquitt, who ordered an official invostgatiou of the
ease. last Thursday Dr. Raines, the penitentiary
jhysieian, who has always been instrumental iti nl-
eviatiug the sufferings of the unfortunate, accom
panied by Mr. Frank ilumlson, went up to Canton
to inquire into the death. After reaching the camp
all sorts of rumors were borne to them, hut their
mission was mi important one, and they sought
for truths. The coroner of the county was
secured, a jury imjuiuclcd. witnesses sworn, ami an
Inquest held. The body of Mathews was taken ut??
and a thorough, complete and satisfactory investi
gation had. The evidence deposed lias been kept
for future use. The treatment the convict received,
and by whom it was inflicted, was ascertained and
will lie shown to the projier authorities when asked.
After the investigation, which was made with great
care, the jury returned a verdict in which they de
clared that John Mathews, the convict, came to his
death from heart disease super-induced by cruel
treatment. Phillips was not present at the investi
gation.
Since the inquest Dr. Raines lias returned to At
lanta hut declines to be interviewed upon the sub
ject. lie says, however, that he has the evidence
and when the proper time arrives will allow its
publication and give all the facts connected with the
ease. When the nqiorter reviewed to him the rumors
he laid gathered the doetorsaid: "Wait and I will teli
yon all in plenty time.??? Thus it will be seen that
he d??K-s not deny the statement set forth above.
Mr Haralson is now in Cherokee county using
every exertion to secure a good case against Phillips,
who" has made himself scarce since the death of
Mathews.
To both I)r Raines and Mr Haralson the state is in
debted fora careful and impartial investigation of
the deutli of Mathew*, the convict, whose only sin
was nn effort to escape the chain-gang.
NEW ORLEANS IN TUMULT.
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
The Senate Pataca a U1U Amending Its Powers.
The senate disposed of another important bill
Monday, which was a bill to amend the state laws in
reference to the powers of the railroad commission.
The first section of the hill provides that the duty
and powers of the commission shall be the same
over and in relation to joint rates for freight pass
ing over two or more roads, as they now are under
said act over and in relation to rates for freight on
each separate road.
The second section provides that connecting rail
roads, which are under the management and con
trol, by lease, ownership or otherwise, of one and
the same company, corporation, individual or indi
viduals or association of individuals, shall be con
sidered and treated as but one and the same road,
and the rates of freight upon such roads shall be
computed as upon parts of one and the same road:
but tiie said cianmissioners may and shall have due
regard for the terms and circumstances under which
such roads are operated in exercising their powers
and performing their duties under this section.
The third section changes the zmnner of adver
tising, the maximum expenditure for which is fixed
ut 81,500.
The fourth section provides that the decision of a
majority of the commission shall be as binding as
that of the entire body.
The hill was passed by a vote of thirty-three for
and none against it.
UP IN A BALLOON.
PERRY DAVIS??? PAIN KILLER.
Professor King Starts on Ilia Lone Acrlni Trip East-
ward.
MtsXE.vroi.is, Minn., September 14 ??? Professor
King's mammoth balloon, the ???Great Northwest,???
was at lust cut loose at 5:30 this afternoon on a south
west wind. It disappeared going at the rate of 25
miles an hour Its occupants were Professor King:
Charles M Fevc, of the Minneapolis Tribune: C D
Nicholas, of the Chicago Times: \V G Creelman, of
the New York Herald: K R Johnston, of the St Paul
Pioneer Press, and Wilson Upton, of the United
States signal service. A very large crowd witnessed
the ascension.
Professor King???s desire was to commence the voy
age in a direct line to Cape Hatteras, or even iu a
course southeast by south. It would bring him so
far dowu on the map that there would be no danger
of encountering the lakes and having to drift per
haps parallel with the St. Lawrence river over hun
dreds of miles of water area.
Everv member of the expedition party carries a
rubber life-preserver, in ease they should lie precip
itated into tiie water. A rubber awning is to be
rigged above the car to keep out possible rain. The
neck of the balloon will be kept open, as
they are generally iu cutaway ascen
sions, hut will be held by Professor
King or some one else continually. This will pre
vent the deterioration in ascension power, which
would surely take place if the gross atmosphere in
hlch the weighted balloon will tloat should mingle
.. ith the hvdrogeu. Another reason for holding the
neck of the balloon is that King will have due no
tice when a rapid expansion of gas is taking place,
and may, if lie desires, take steps to relieve the bal
loon of a too sudden strain by means of a throttle
valve, or otherwise giving the gas free vent. The
collapse coni will bang down through the neck of
the balloon, where it can be reached at any mo
ment.
HE DREAMED OF HOME,
The Mayor Call* on the Governor! and the Governor
Proclaim. Martial Law.
New Orleans, September 13.???This forenoon Jim
Wilson, tiie driver of a float, was stoned, when he
drew n. pistol uud shot John Lluskey in the-back of
the neck, near the spine. Wilson drove on and
delivered his load of cotton at the Kentucky press.
A large crowd gathered around tiie press and fears
of a riot was imminent. Three teamst-rs reported
that they were driven off their floats???one
of them being struck with n rock. The floats were
taken in charge by tiie jajlice and driven to their
destination. In the lower district twenty men, em
ployed at the Natchez press, armed themselves with
double barrelled shot-guns and went to work with
the guns near at hand to be used iu
protecting themselves. On Tchoupitoulas street
several pistol shots were fired in rapid succession,
when the police arrested two men for firing shots at
tiie teamsters and landed them iu tiie station-house.
The first and second brigades of militia assembled
at their armories ready for duty.
Later???Great excitement is reported at the foot
of Knghein street, the men loading the ship with
cotton having been driven away from their work by
tiie menacing crowd. The mob then boarded the
vessel and are now reported to lie firing through
the hatchways at the screw men in the hold. The
acting governor has issued his proclamaton
ordering the state militia lo assist the mayor
in preserving the peace and fo disperse all congre
gations of jiersons on the street comers.

A Talk With the Great Worth.
Jennie June, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Mr. Worth lues returned from Wilbnd, and iu a
on g chat with him yesterday he showed clearly
enough the estimate he puts upon passing fashions.
The very straight tie bucks, which are this season
tiie rage In London, dividing the honors with the
shirred bolster eases styled ??????sesthetic,??? Mr. Worth
characterizes ns the ???Praise God Bareboues" style
of dress, and the bandaunu handkerchief as ???Folly
in red and yellow.???
He remarked very sensibly that there was no use
in attempting uniformity in modes, that the true
idea of dress was for each one to admit her clothing
to her means and individuality; this was wlni :
tiie best class of women were working
toward now, so that that their dress be
came at once more original and more useful and
permanent. The majority he remarked, while
making constant demand for variety mid change,
reallv fell back like a flock of sheep upon the same
thing, and wore it irrespective of adaptabiity to
circumstances or personality. Dress, however, lie
rightly said, could never become a matter of fixed
liuvTiiiv more than furniture or any other human
belonging. Taste is a matter of growth,devopment,
education and opportunity and dress must
Ik- as various as the i>eople who wear it. There will
always be some who will have the rich and the elab
orate"; ulWavs some who will find what they admire
iu the fussy"and the commonplace, and others who,
witli refined instincts and cultivated tastes, are able
to select for themselves out of the abundant resour
ces what is best suited to their wants and means.
Mr. Worth thought that the rage for novelty
sometimes led to the use of the most unsuitable
materials???as plusli, for example, which he charac
terized us outrageously unfit for dresses, and espe
cially for bonnets. Yet plush, he remarked, is being
manufactured in immensely large quantities for
autumn trade, and its use more or less will be forced
upon leading houses by their customers. He was
verv guarded respecting the iueoming autumn
styles, saving thnt it was too early to predict with
any certain tv what would and what would not be
the leading ideas; that he had hardly vet begun to
think about tiie matter, but believed that many
ladies would return to plain rich fabrics aud colors.

sharing the habitation of a daughter of Lord Rane-

Rachael renowned.
For tiie present, the sinuous, sensuous, swan-like
beauty occupies no share of the journalists??? atten
tion, but if her reverend father, the dean of Jersey,
again comports himself to the public, ns he was seen
to do the other day on Oxford street, lie will stand a
chance of having a number of paragraphs placed at
his disposal. For a dean of tiie church of
Englaud to go about muttering to him
self, and tearing papers into atoms with
gestures, expressive of extreme rage is, to say the
least, unusual, and calculated to attract public at
tention, ils, indeed, on tiie occasion to which I re
fer, it unquestionably did. I regret to hear that
Mrs. Langtry's mother and father yet live apart
from each other, and to know that in respect to
sumptuary matters the dean is not the handsomely
put-on dean one would wish to see.

The Atlanta Constitution comes to this office
enlarged to an eight page paper and beautifully
irintyd on new type throughout. The Constitution
s a great paper.
Conyers Weekly.
There is no disputing the fact, The Atlanta
Daily Constitution is pre-eminently at the head of
southern journalism. May it long wave, the pride
of our grand old state.
Valdosta Times.
<lur Atlanta Constitution of Tuesday, Scptem-
l3*r 0; came to hand in it new and attractive dress.
Henceforth it will be issued in eight page form.
The Constitution is always in for a boom.
Quitman Free Press.
The Atlanta Constitution is now the biggest
thing in the state. Eight pages, cut, pasted and filled
with choicest bits of news and solid columns of
sense. It is a real pleasure to get hold of it.
. Lumpkin Independent.
The Atlanta Constitution has changed into an
eight page paper, and put on u new dress. It is a
hard matter to make any improvement on that ex
cellent paper. It lias long since been one of the best
papers published in the United States.
Cedartown Advertiser.
Tiie paper has been changed from a folio to a
quarto, which also adds to its looks, as well as to the
convenience of the reader. Long life to The Coesti-
tution. In fact, as Paddy might say, ???May she live
to print her own obituary.???
Augusta Chronicle.
TnE Atlanta Constitution has changed its form
from four to eight pages, with an entirely new dress
of type. It has a metropolitan look, but, to our
taste, the old style was better. We congratulate our
contemporary, however, and rejoice at its prosperity.
Charleston News and Courier.
The exposition docs not belong to Atlanta or to
Georgia. Every southern state should feel a special
interest in its success. It will open October 5, and
will continue open until December 31. Charleston
should make herself seen and felt iu the exposition.
DeKalb County News.
The Atlanta Constitution appeared Tuesday
morning in a dress of the latest style and largely
amended and improved. We like the new style
better than tiie old and are glad to see such an ap
pearance of prosperity in a paper of such recognized
enterprise.
Jackson Herald.
The Atlanta Constitution came to us last Tues
day in its changed form and new dress. To say that
it is neat mid handsome iu its new make-up is hut
expressive of the well known enterprise of the man
agers of what is acknowledged to be one of the best
newspapers published in the south.
Savannah Times
Move those papers oft' the table and let???s make
room for The Atlanta Constitution, for it has
shook out another reef and enlarged to a handsome
eight page daily???forty-eight columns, anil it came
this morning in a brand new dress, which tits nicely,
and is neatly trimmed with interesting matter.
Cuthbcrt Appeal.
The Atlanta Constitution is now issued in an
eight page form, printed on new type, aud its pages
are as refreshing as a summer shower???always frill
of news ahd life. It doesn???t look much like a ???last
year???s almanac." In fact, to we country editors, it
is bone and muscle, fresh and spicy. Let her roll.
Hartwell Sun..
Our esteemed contemporary, The Atlanta Con
stitution, has ???rung out the old??? and ???rung in tiie
new,??? and comes to us rigged up in brand new
clothes and increased proportions. May its great
influence as ajournal even surpass that which has
crowned its efforts hitherto.
Augusta Journal of Progress.
The Atlanta Constitution came to us on Tues
day evening last in new form, different type, and
more newsy, interesting aud New Y orkv. the Con
stitution is the acknowledged leader iu advanced
ideas in this state, and to it we look for needed re
forms in the party whose actions it new almost
wholly influences.
Rome Tribune.
The Atlanta Constitution comes to us enlarged
to aft eight page paper, beautifully printed on new
type, exhibiting a skill in arrangement highly cred
itable to the ???art preservative of all arts.??? It has

itself worthy of it \Ye still throw after it the old
shoe of God???speed and good luck.
Eatonton Messenger.
The Atlanta Constitution of Tu'esday reached
til is office in iLs enlarged and improved edition. It
has taken the form of an eight page daily, printed
with new type, and in neat style. The Constitu
tion has long been the leading Georgia daily, and
we enjoy its thrift, enterprise and success. It is a
E leasure to see the Georgia editors flourishing. We
ope other papers will soon follow iu the footsteps
of the progressive Constitution.
Macon Telegraph.
We are glad to note the improvement of our con-
temporarv. The Atlanta Constitution. It appeared
on last Tuesday morning in a new outfit and a
change of form and make-up. It is an eight-page
paper of six columns, and the make-up is after the
stvleof the New York dailies. We congratulate our
friends upon their good fortune, and rejoice in their
E rosperity, notwithstanding the ???bouts??? the boys
ave with each other occasionally.
Rome Bulletin.
The enterprise exhibited by tiie publishers of
The Atlanta Daily Constitution, in the new
dress just donned by that journal, is highly com
mendable, and we to-day place The Constitution
on record as being a credit to Atlanta, to Georgia,
and to southern journalism. Long may it wave,
and we look forward with mueh pleasure to the day
when The Constitution will reach Rome at 7
o???clock on the moruing oi publication. This it will
do when the Rome and Atlanta railroad is com
pleted.
Athens Chronicle.
On Tuesday last The Constitution came out in a
beautiful new dress, and the form was changed
from four to eight pages. It is now one of the largest,
newsiest and best dailies in the union, and we are
glad of its influence and prosperity. We could
hardly see room for improvement before it was en
larged, mul now it is so full of news, bright and
sparkling editorials and financial and commercial
reports, its well as notes on current literature, and
the best reading for tiie family circle, that it is in
itself a sort of encyclopedia or library. The only ob
jection is, one can scarcely find time to read it all.
