TWO DESPERADOES
Who Run Down by Detec
tives in Alabama.
THEY IMPROVED THEIR CONDITION.
Trxaf.k an a . Ark., January 30.—[Special.]—
James Burrows. the young Alahama criminal,
is in jail here, having been brought from
Montgomery by Captain NVelbasky. The story
of his crimes is startling. Burrows is one of
the rolfliers who, in company with others, on
the night of the 9th of December Inst, stopped
the north bound passenger and express train
on the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas railway
ftt Genoa, a few miles from this city, and who
after being shadowed was finally captured
near the city of Montgomery, Ala., on S *n
day night last. The bold robber is a young
man 2ft years of nge and a man of intelligent
bearing, bold in looks, determined and shrewd.
Th<; ptuticiilars of bis capture, as given by
Captain Welbasky, are as follows: About two
weeks ago the detective force of Pinkerton be
gan the shadowing of lhe Burrows brothers,
Rube and Jauich, following them from the in
terior of Texas to their home at Vernon, La
mar county. Ala.; opening up correspondence
with the authorities of Vernon, the home of
the. Burrows, fun ished them with an accurate
description of the men wanted. The au
thorities there suriounded the house in which
their father Iked, but when search u.i made
!t was diHcovi red that they had left dm the
night. Jlou ever, (,’onductor ( allahan, on run
ning to Montgomery, Ala., at Brocksgapnoticed
two m>-n boarding the train, who took scats
near some negroes, occupying a vacant scat,
where w.h eated tv. o negr .oh in the front end,
also two in the rear, when they hogan a con
versation with the negroes. Their conduct
was of such a nature as to arouse Hispic.ion
that they d. -igin d a robbing of his train.
Having been meviou ly furnished with a full
and a< curate d< eriptmn of the Burrow broth

'i'l.e officers followed them Io mar the.

that nobody was permitted to go
through that gap after dark. On this in
formation the two men turned round and in
quired of Captain Martin j( lie could direct
tlieni to a clump boarding house. The captain
replied jn the affirmative ami directed them to
follow him. 'l'liis they did until they rem lied

New York, February 2. [Special.]—Last
eve ning something occurred in the tenth ward
which was cnoiigb to startle even the placid
German (hmizensof that locality. Tho cause
of this hubbub wats the celebration of the nup
tials cf Arto Shonviteh, a young German of
the pronounced blonde type, to Belle Jackson,
a buxom lass of most ebony hue. The mar

hall, (k* Essex street, which adjoins the cele

blvman Charles Smith.
The guests arrived at the hall about 9:30,
and were received with astonishment by mine

to question her antecedents. Great
was his surprise. when, instead
of a crowd of solid Gertnans and their wives,
a company of dusky gentlemen and their ladies
appeared, dressed in the latest style, in the
midst of them taino Mr. Shonviteh, and lean

prietor, succeeded in eliciting the information
from her that she was tho mother
of the groom. She bogged piteously'
to bo allowed to see him and his
wife. She was brought in by a rear way, and
was shown the bride through a window. At
the sight of her the old woman fainted away.
After being revived she begged her son to

LEWIS MOORE GETS A NEW LEASE
G eorgetgwx, Ga.. Fe bruary 1. —[Special. |
This county tvas created in 1x7,8, and attached ;
to the Pataula judicial circuit. For thirty i
years the records of the court were not blotched i
with tho heinous crime of murder, but the long
n cord w:*..-broken in 1887.
In September last, Lewis Moore, colored,
slew his fripnd and companion, Hanse Wrieht,
and following close in the wake of this, Klisa
Kandall, an eighteen year old negro girl,
brained her father, Joe Randall, using a com
mon dub ax for the purpose, from the effects
of which he died two weeks following.
The circumstances connected with tho I'an
dall tragedy may be briefly summed up as fol
lows :
I'lisa Forms to have Loen a headstrong girl, i
and resisted the authority of her father. On
one occasion he forbade her spending the night '
| axvay from home. She disregarded his com- '
mand, ami when she returned ho threatened j
to punish her severely. This incensed her, [
and that night, while Joo was sitting on the
piazza, talking xvith his brother about building
a milldam, and while closely absorbed
in tho Bubje< t, Elisa slipped
up stealthily in the rear and
dealt him a death blow on the head, with
the above stated results. She at once fled to
an adjoining county, but after a few days re
gained courage and returned to her home on
the plantation. Word was communicated to
Sheriff Harrell. avlio lost no time in securing
the prisoner and lodging her in jail. She was
tried before Judge Jno. L. Clark, at an ad
journed term of court last December, found
guilty of murder, and sentenced to be hung on
Thursday, February 2d, 1888.
Tho prisoner was defended by Colonels Wil
liam Harrison and John W. Lee, Solicitor
James H(‘nry appearing for the state. The
defendant sought to show mitigating circum
stances, showing that the father tried to es
■ tablish improper relations Avith his daughter,
but could not get the t«*stimony before the
jury, as the grandmother, by whom they
claimed to be able to establish the attempted
liaison, aviis sick and could not appear at the
trial.
Upon this ground Colonel Harrison went be
fore the governor this Aveek, and after a hard
fight succeeded in obtaining a respite, which
he says means a commutation to lite imprison
ment. A Constitution representative, ac
companied by tho sheriff, was in the prison
at the time tlm message was delivered. Avhich
bore the signature of the secretary of state.
At first its import seemed not to be understood
by the condemned; then slowly turning to tho
sheriff she said:
"I ain't freed yit, am L”
” No, Elisa, you can’t hope for that,” said
the kind hearted sheriff, ‘but your life Avill be
saved.”
After a moment of thought the veil seemed
to be lifted, and in an ocstacy of delight slio
exclaimed:
"I’m going to be a good girl, I am, the bal
ance of my life.”
(J egrget(>wn, G a., February 2.—[Specia I.]
The double hanging advertised to come off to
day drew’ together tho largest crowd ever seen
c<»llect< d in one body in southwest Georgia. 1
I’ully fiv c thousand people were on the grounds,
mostly negroes of both sexes. The feeling yes- '
terday ca < niug, after the news was received in
the Flizn Bamlall ease, Avas strong that some
thing should he done for the man also,since the
crime of the woman Avas considered as much
the more heinous. Public sentiment took a
turn, and took it quick. Good men avcio
found by tho dozen who were Avilling to con
tribute their names and money, too. in his be
half.
This morning ‘hr governor was urgently
requested by wire to stay the execution of the
{•entrnco cn Lewis Moore today. In the mean
time, the sheriff summoned a guard of a dozen
men, and stationed them at the jail. Precisely
at II :2<), the door lending to tho upper floor of
the jail was unlocked, and tho sheriff, with
two assistants, entered to prepare Hie prisoner
for lhe march to the gallow s. Five, ten, fif
teen minutes, the crowd Avatchcd and Availed.
Then word av.is passed dew n to tho guard to
make ready to receive their charge.
A shout is heard in the distance. As it
grows nearer, "Don’t hang him,” ’‘Don’t hang
hiiu,” tills the air from a thousand throats. At
once the great mass sway backward. Aman
with a blanched face rushes madly by, and
C(ears the stops to the murderer’s cell at a
bound. He bears n reprieve from the gover
nor. granting the prisoner twenty more days
of lite. Now. the throng understand the glad
tidings, and the echoes resound with deafening
shouts. Wonu n hugged each other and men
fell doAvn and prayed.
“Tru t in Je .us! ain't I glad,” said one old
woman “Save our governor, Lord, save our
governor for years to come,” cried a preacher.
“He is able to govern our race,” yelled a third,
and ’• Hur rah Ji or Gordon. ”was on every tongue.
'l he prisoner took (he good ucavs with stolid
indifference.
Lewis. ar< n’t you glad?” asked a gentleman
standing by.
“Yes sir,” he ansAvered non*-It ale n’t ly. not a
muscle of the face moving to show' the inner
Avorkings < f his emotional nature.
After the excitement wore off somewhat,
(he crowd ot darkies Avanted something to
drink. The supply in town was exhausted as
soon ax the Avaiters could dish the liquid out.
.and Eufaula now was drawn upon to keep the
glasses jingling.
The repriexe was asked forby many of the
best citizens of tho county, with the hope that
something may be done for the unfortunate
man. it is not denied that be was violently
attacked by Rause NV right, and that in the
first altercation he acted in self-defense, but
when Lewis followed KauSo down the road
and shut him, it avhs murder. It is strongly
I elieved that the dead negro received his death
wound in the first altercation, or by other
bunds, as J.ewis’s pistol Avas subsequently
found on the spot where they first fought.

There was a sensation at the executive

The doctor has been permanently located in Atlanta for the past nine years, and lias treated and cured more people afflicted with chronic
and lingering diseases than any physician in the southern states. He particularly invites those on whom other physicians have failed, to giro
him a trial, feeling confident of giving perfect satisfaction in every case which ho undertakes. While the doctor does not claim to cure incurable
cases, he can, at the same time, refer to hundreds of reliable people whom he bar. cured after the home doctors had failed to even give relief.
Those who apply to Dr. Tucker for treatment may rest assured of being dealt with in tho most honest and conscientious manner. The doctor
treats all chronic disease**, among which may be enumerated the following: Diseases ot the Heart, Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Stomach, Scrofula
and all Blood Diseases, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Bronchitis, and all Diseases of the Throat,
CHRONIC FEMALH DISEASES,
Luccorilwea, Painful and Irregular Monstniations, Suppression or Excessive Menses, Prolapsus, or Falling of the Uterus, Chronic Constipa
tion, Inflammation and I'lceration of the Womb, Pain and Tenderness in the Ovaries, Nervous Depression, Weak Baek, Nervous and Sleepier
Nights, Shortness of Breath, Vertigo, Palpitation ot the Heart, Cold Feet, Sick and Nervous Headache, and a hundred other symptoms free,
which so many thousand ladies suffer, are perfectly and permanently cured. In treating this class of troubles, Dr. Tucker lias had the moss
remarkable success. He has treated patients of this class in every southern state, and hundreds of suffering women have been cured by his
skillful treatment after the home doctors failed even to give relief. Ladies suffering with diseases peculiar to their sex may write the doctor in
perfect confidence and receive from him an honest opinion free of charge.
Diseases of the Liver, Kidneys and Digestive Organs, so remarkably prevalent throughout this section of country, producing such symptoms
as pale and sallow complexion, bilious or sick headache, bitter taste in tho mouth, coated tongue, hacking cough, skin dry and harsh p illii’tss
under tho eyes, urine frequently scanty and high colored, at other times very free and colorless, often producing a scalding sensation when
voided and depositing a sediment on standing. Often there is great depression of spirits, with a feeling o's impending trouble. The siuinwii
impaired, with irregularity of appetite, flatulency, with acid eructations, bowels costiVo with occasional diarrlia'a, circulation sluggish, feet ami
hands often cold, vertigo and palpitation of the heart, sleeplessness and a thousand other symptoms too numerous to mention. The above svinp.
toms are not all present in any one case, nor are any two cases alike in every respect. Dr. Tucker has had a vast experience in treating eases of
this character, and his success lias been wonderful. 1 f you are afflicted be treated now: no not dclav until your malady becomes incurafde
FILES AND FISTULA.
And other diseases of the rectum, such as fissure, ulceration, polypus, etc., have been treated for many years by Dr. Tucker without failrre to
euro in a single case where a fair trial has been given. No knife is used, and the treatment is not painful, never confining the patient to tho
house. To those suffering from piles and fistula, who will come to Atlanta and stay a short time, Dr. Tucker will guarantee a positive cure
Dr. Tucker has cured many of the best ami most prominent citizens of this and other states of those troubles, to whom he will take i-l<”sr,re iii
referring other sufferers when so requested. It is folly to suffer from these annoying and often dangerous troubles when you can he Itied so
easily. Dr. Tucker has treated many ladies suffering from these complaints.
DISEASES OE NIEN.
A large experience in treating diseases peculiar to men has enabled Dr. Tucker to perfect a system of treatment which never fails to effect a
euro when directions are adhered to. ’Those who arc suffering with organic weakness, night omissions, loss of power, nervous debility irritable
disposition, aversion to society, weakness in the back, loss of muscular power, dimness of vision, melancholy, epilepsy, impaired meiho”v and a
general flagging of all the vital powers, induced by youthful indiscretion, or the excesses of maturer years, are speedily, thoroughly’ and perm a*
nei’tly cured. The doctor fully sympathizes with this class of sufferers, and those who confide their secrets to him do not run the least chance of
exposure, as all communications are regarded as sacredly confidential. All letters are answered in a plain envelope, and medicine is sentsecurelv
sealed, so no one will suspect its contents. . , v
Treating Patients by Correspondence.
By his original system of diagnosis, it is rarely necessary for Dr. Tucker to see his patients. Many patients can bo better treated that wiv
than by meeting the physician direct. A vast experience has taught the doctor that it is always best to let the patient describe the maia-’v in
his. or her, own language. After receiving and considering such a history, if he does not fully understand the case, ho will ask such lurther
questions as may bo necessary to a full understanding of the case. Patients should always give ago, sex, married or single, complexion height
present and former weight (as near as possible) and occupation. Follow this with history of case in your own language mvin<* all irolWm
and syin utom.% enclosing stamp for reply. e ° ° 1 '
Dr. Tucker is responsible for what he says and does, professionally, financially and individually. Ho courts honest, sincere investigation and
is at all times glad and anxious to show those interested what he is daily doing for suffering humanity. The afflicted will always find in the
doctor a sympathizer, friend and safe counsellor. If you are afflicted and cannot bo cured at home you will never regret givum him a. fair *riv'
Reference to cured patients Avill always bo cheerfully giA r en. Address all letters plainly to W. J. TUCKiER *M I> 1 ‘ ’
I to run gave him a terrible wipe with a knife
| across the throat. Following him about 100
yards dowel the road, to whore a party had con
gregated, Lewis ran up, and under protes
tations from the wounded man not
to shoot, as lie had already killed him, placed
a pistol to his face and tired, killing him in
stantly. In a statement to the writer he said
that while be had prayed constantly lie was in
doubt about his future fate. The negroes
from Eufaula and surrounding country collect
ed daily in the street in front of the jail and
sang and prayed. On Sunday it was estimated
that five hundred spent the day thus.
Judge Clark, before whom the negro was
tried, has never been known to sentence a
criminal to be hung on Friday, and is deter
mined, so far as in his power, to break up the
superstitious ideas of the populace about the
ill luck of Friday.
Lewis .Moore, rhe doomed man, was given
money t>y white friends after the tragedy, and
ho might now be at largo had ho not returned
two or three weeks after to his old neighbor
hood. It has been suggested that he was per
suaded to return by parties who expected a
reward would be offered for his capture.

An Unpublished and Unrecorded Record.
“Really, how well you look. You arc much
Stouter, and look ten years younger than when
I saw you a few years ago. Then I did not
think yon were long for this world.” "No,”
my friend replied, "four years ago 1 little ex
pected to be in the land of the living at this
time. It had for many years seemed unavoid
able that I should have a sick spell in the
latter part of January. So regularly had this
been the case that my family looked for it.
Four years ago an attack of pneumonia in Jan
uary was followed in February by an attack of
neuralgia of the heart. So violent and sudden
was the attack that although within forty rods
of my house I was unable to reach it ami was
carried into a house near where I had been
standing. 1 soon rallied and was carried home.
Tliis was succeeded by two lighter attacks.
After recovering so 1 could be about, I was
taken down with three successive attacks of
renal calculi. Recovering from these I was
prostrated witli a long scigo of diarrluea, from
which the attending physician had little hope
of my recovery. I had little strength left:
little vitality; recuperative powers seemed
gone: felt completely prostrated. No life, no
ambition, no power. I then commenced the
Home Treatment. In a few weeks I was able
to try work again, although quite feeble and
not able to endure fatigue or much labor. I
resorted to the Compound Oxygen more regu
larly. ami to my surprise all the old bad feel
ings gradually disappeared. Life assumed a
brighter aspect. Strength and the elasticity of ,
youth in a great measure returned. And now
though of three-score and four years, I feel
younger, brighter and more active than I did
twenty years ago. To Compound Oxygen I
give all the credit: and I would recommend
all chronically afflicted to try it. Tell all such
for me that it wi|l be greatly to their interest if
they will call at the office of Drs. Starkey &
Palon, 1521' Arch street. Philadelphia. Pa..and
get their advice upon their special eases, which
is given free.”

FROM JEFFERSON' DAVIS.
J.V'KSOX, Miss., January 30.—[Special.]—

men of the present generation, to whom the destiny
of Mississippi Is to he confided. Mississippian* from
I the time of her territorial existence, have borne an
j honorable part in the affairs of the country, and

demanded. Bearing testimony, as one who conies

chivalry and inkg.u.y <f vid Mississip) i, and my

received,my health did not permit me.as I desired,at
once toaceej t and indicate a time nt which 1 w< ul l
visit you. M\ anxiety to confer with and learn the
I views us my younger brethren caused me to hope,

an acceptance. but that hope 1 as not been realiz 'd,
