Savannah, Ga., April 15.—(Special.)—A re
port was received here late last night that
Abe Smalls, the murderer of Policeman
Neve, had been captured in Montgomery
county, and would be brought to Savannah
today. The authorities here have no infor
mation of the arrest and the report is be
lieved to be untrue.
t.em Davin Indicted.
Savannah, Ga., April 17.—(Special.)—The
giand Jury today indicted Lemuel Davis
for the murder of William W. Rawls. An
operation was performed on Rawls Sunday
a few hours before he died and there will
probably be a strong light in the case on
the point as to whether his death was
caused by the pistol shot wound or the
surgeon’s operation. In case It was the
latter, Davis could hardly be convicted of
murder.
A Murder In Pike,
Milner. Ga., April 16.—(Special.)—Early
this morning, while on his way to work,
’ Bud” Matthews, a negro boy about six
teen years old, was waylaid and shot to
death by Charley I each, a negro desperado
about thirty years old. Matthews and his
mother were walking quietly along the
road when Poach sprang from behind a
fence and tired the fatal shot. This makes
his fourth victim, only two of whom died,
however. The universal impression is that
there will be a hanging in Bike when he is
caught and tried. Sheriff Gwyn is on his
trail. All of the negroes lived on the plan

With the Governor.
An important conference of railroad men
was lieid with Governor Northen Friday
morning, a conference that means a great
deal to Georgia.
For some time the governor has been
studying the subject of immigration, lit is
a firm believer in building up the state in
this way, and he has outlined a plan which
he bel.i-ves will bring about the end de
sired and will be of general benefit.
The details 01. that plan lie is .tot ready
to give to the public, but it is known that
It is based on the co-op. ration of the lail
road with the state authorities. He outlined
his plan briefly to his visitors yesterday
and all promised their hearty co-op ration.
The gentlemen who met him were represen
tatives of the roads entering Atl.mia.
It was decided that at some rime In *he
mar future ■—some date which will suit the
convenience of the majority of the repre
sentatives of the railroads—another me-ting
will be held, at which every railroad in the
state will be invited to send a delegate. To
this meeting the nl.-n will be formally
submitted and it is believed, if carr.ed into
effect, will result in mu-h practical good.

A second time Providence has stretched
forth her hand and saved Jeff Rockmore
from the gallows, on the very eve of the
day on which he was to be hung.
The death watch at Decatur was removed
Thursday afternoon and the hanging that
was to have occurred at noun last Friday has
been deferred until May 4th, perhaps to be
ultimately oeclared off.
.Judge Clark s letter was short and point
ed. He staled that having heard that a
petition requesting executive clemency in
Rockmor- ’s behalf had ben presented to
the governor, he was moved to request the
governor to grant a respite to the con
demend man until May 4th, in order that
th- 1 tition might be made more com
plete and elaborate. The judge had been in
formed that the petition in. the governor’s
hands was not a very numerously signed
document, and that if it had been circu
lated inure freely, a larger number of sign
ers might have been procured.
Basing his action entirely on Judge
Clark's letter. Governor Northen Issued a
brief order postponing the execution until
May 4th, as asked. What action he con

A Citizen of Murray Comity Is Shot Dead
by White Caps.
Another crime more daring In plot and
bolder in execution than any other in a long
series of desperate deeds now stains the
gruesome records of the whitecaps.
Thursday morning, while peacefully
plowing in his field, Henry Worley, a citizen
of Murray county, was fired upon from
ambush and instantly killed. The murder
is the climax to an old feud between Wor
ley and a gang of desperadoes, and. shows
the reckless spirit of their doings.
The magnitude of the whitecap organiza
tion in the mountainous regions of north
Georgia defies credulity. Frcm recent de
velopments it appears that every hill and
vale in that part of the country is swarm
ing with desperadoes. The Gordon County
Grangers, according to the statement ol one
of their members, number seven hundred
sirrng. Just across the line, the Murray
county boys hold forth. These two gangs
make up the organization, and bom
them do business according to the same
rubs and regulations. The clans and sub
clans pay proper allegiance to tlu* oihceis
of the main branch, and are governed by
them with iron-bound laws. Their ceiemo-.
ni-s an- -is mysterious as the night. Ll> in
being initial it into this brotherhood, each
member is forced to take a Bible oath that
he will always stick up to the gang and

Whom ver the rod ot chastisement was to
be odmini ’.ereil, or severer punishment in
flicted upon any offending inhabitant ot
these regions, Worley was always the man
to direct' the movement. But lute played
against him, and lor various causes ms
popularity waned. As leader of the Mur
ray county boys he was pushed aside, and
his reckless daring ceased, to inspire them
' it was'for this reason that he turned his
back on the gang and refused to participate
in their work.
Several weeks ago Worley was summon
ed to appear before the grand jury at Ellijay
and testify against one of the whitecaps
who was on trial before it. His testi
mony was damaging; at least it was con
sidered so by the whitecaps, for he recefv
-1 ed from them a letter giving him fair no
li..- to evacuate immediately. This he re
fused to do and in reply threatened to come
to Atlanta, and give to Governor Northen
the names of one hundred men connected
with the organization.

Love Fixed Him.
"Love hath made me rich,” he said:
“I was poor and lone;
Life, to me, seemed hopeless— dead!
Bitter was my moan. ,
“Like a beggar at Love’s gate,
There a crust to win.
Love came in the twilight late,
Kissed and led me in.
*‘Now my servants come and go,
All the neighbors stare.
(This Love’s father-in-law, you know,
Is a millionaire!*’)

The devil ne’er unhorsed him;
Paid his respects, passed in his checks,
And the good Lord endorsed ’em!

A bill collector near.

That which did much amaze:

When all the weather’s rough.
If you just say that “times are good,"

And the country will be happy,

COXEX’a ARMY MEETS WITH YAKI-
OVS EXPERIENCES.
Their March Through Maryland—How tha
Different Wings of the Army are Pro
gressing—Browne Identified.
Cumberland, Md., April 16.—Tomorrow
Coxey will take water. The road over the
mountains between this point and Williams
port was too rough and steep to tempt the
travelers and taking advantage of the in
flow of large cash contributions that have
been received during the stay in Cumber
land, Coxey hired canal boats to take the
party eighty-live im.es down the canal to
Williamsport. Coxey wilt work his floaters
in blocks of two, one barge for the men
and the other for the horses and camp
paraphernalia. The canal company was
not anxious to transport the party, but
Coxey showed his ability as a manager,
telegraphing to Washington for the per
mission of General Manager Nicholson to
pass the boats through the locks and se
curing a job lot of freight at 52 cents a
ton on all his company—men, horses and
lumber. This was 32 cents higher than the
rate on coal, but will make three days of
pleasant travel against the same amount
of weary trumping. The company has been
docility itself since the reappearance of
Coxey in camp. All looks like smooth sail
ing tor the commonweal lor a week to
come and there is lime prospect of another
mutiny
While the heads of the commonweal have
been pushing preparations for the coming
exodus Irom Cumberland, the army ha-s
been resting and living luxuriously. The
baseball park forms one of the best camps
en route, and the lazy spring sunshine
has been a tonic to the frost-bitten travel
ers. The day was spent lounging, shaving,
washing and mending clothes ana shoes for
the march. Baseball was indulged in by
the younger members, the two sides dubbed
“the workingmen” and the “hobos,” play
ing a match game, the former winning
hands down. 'J he arrangement ot Jesse
t.'oxey, the prodigal son from his prodigal
father, consequent on Jesse’s revolt with
“unknown” Bozzaro Smith, on Saturday,
has been arbitrated and the boy taken back
to the fold of the commonweal. Bozzaro
Smith, after being ejected from the camp,
has appeared in a new spring suit of the
latest style and promises to heap coals,
etc., by going ahead of the army as ad
vance- agent without compensation and
awaking sentiment in favor of the common
weal. After that he threatens to go lect
uring.
Food mid Shelter are Jtefuaed.
Hancock, Md., April IS.—There was a
lively time alter the common weal reached
Hancock. It was found that I’izarro Smith
and “Cheek” Childs, formerly the advance
agent of the commonweal, had reached
Hancock together yesterday, and represent
ing themselves as authorized agents of
Coxey, had raised a considerable sum of
' money, how much could not be learned, and
had decamped for Williamsport, the next
town on the route. Browne and Coxey at
once issued a. manifesto to Charles Hub
bert, sheriff, and the public, denouncing
the recent commonwealers as imposters,
and asking their arrest, should they be
found. Childs, the advance agent, was a
young man of better appearance than the
average of the army, who had represented
the commonweal since the start from Mas
silon, and, consequently, had credentials
from Coxey on which the money was
raised. He is said to be a nephew of H.
c. Frick, of Homestead, and has a bad
record.
The commonweal flotilla was not hospit
ably received in Hancock, in spite of the
large crowd that greeted it. The town
council refused to make any provision for
feeding the travelers, and the men had to
take their supper on the boat, after which
they spread through the town, filling' the
saloons and drinking freely, though where
the money came from no one could tell.
There was a good deal of loud talking and
political discussion on the street corners
and in the saloons, but no open violence
occurred. The people were somewhat start
led at the sudden advent of so many rough
looking characters in town, and, although
many people had driven over from Berkley
Springs to see the army, most of the citi
zens remained in doors, leaving the town
practically in the hands of Coxey’s men.
There was a revolution in Hancock con
cerning Browne, as well as concerning
Smith and Childs. Burgess Ditto, of the
town council, recognized Browne as a. Pro
fessor Liman, who had visited Hancock
three years ago as a patent medicine fakir
with a great Indian blood remedy. Browne
declared that this was a case of mistaken
identity.
Coxey Gains Recruits.
Williamsport, Md., April 19.—The com
monweal army left Hancock twenty-nve
stronger that it entered, that number ot
recruits being found camped on the West i
Virginia side of the river. The army came
near taking in a desperate recruit. He had
been loafing a day or two with the twenty
live recruits and just befate tin? arrival
of Coxey’s bouts he wajs identified t>y Hie

Over the Xlountsains in the Upper Part
of Maryland.
Green Springs, W. Va., April li.—Coxey’s
army passed tne day comforLably up tn .1 e
canal icats which are to carry il ■. m over
eighty-four miles of their jou’t.e.y. Two
boats carry the entire outfit, incl iding men
and animals. Th-- country is sparsely set
tled and there was no opportunity for sen
sations today.
Through iho Monntainn of Maryland. *
Orleans Roads, AV. Va., April IS.—The
voyage of the commonweal army was re
sumed today through the wild mountain
Country of upp r .Maryland. Tim last seen of
the Coxey fiot.ila by the press barge was at
< 1 'eensprin ■ f -ni lit, wh re about fifty
people from the surrounding country as
sembled 11> listen jo I iron n’s speech
a canal beat. Br• m n appear' d to have

and referred to a number ot' phtccs of rec, nt I
legislation in which he told the pe, de tl v
had been robb l by the money barons, who I
controlled the world from Lombard stre, t. ;
The audience did not s> -m to know where I
Lombard street was. There was little en- i
thusiasm.
Kelly Leaves the Cars.
Council Bluffs, la., April 16.—General Kel
ly’s industrial army is footing it east, hav- i
ing left Council Bluffs at 3 o'clock tills at'- i
ternoon. The army gave up its special ■
train of boxcars belonging to the Union |
Pacific, in which it came from Ogden about ;
noon today, and an engine was at. once '
attached and the twenty-seven ears start. 1
at once westward. The men are heading !
for Davenport as the most direct point i
cast. They will camp at Parks Mill, about
live miles from Council Bluffs. Kellv says ‘
today that about 150 men had been added 'to
the army in Council Bluffs. It is not con
sidered likely that the men will walk
through the state. .The opinion is that a
convenient train of empty boxears will
go out, which will be captured by them.
Kelly Still in Unsnp.
Omaha, Neb., April 21.—Everything is
comparatively quiet in Omaha tonight, af
ter the excitement of the last two days
but those who are well informed are in
clined to the belief that it is the lull be
fore the storm. Work of all kinds was sus
pended today. Shops were deserted aiid
workmen turned out in masses to discuss
the all-absorbing topic of what would bo
done for Kelly's industrial army-. They
stood on corners and in doorways and in
many places meetings were held to discuss
the best plan of action. Some of them
were very radical, especially the Omaha
men, who declare that tomorrow will see
the matter settled, or the railroads will be I
forced to recede from their position. There I 1
is serious talk in labor circles of ordering i '
a general strike to bring the railroads to I :
terms.
The situation in Council Bluffs is getting ■
serious, and the business men of that city 1
have taken a hand in tin- matter. They say
that the large crowds of Omaha men
crowding their streets is having an injurious 1
effect on their business. They also claim >
that they are injured by the taking off of
trains which pass Weston, the place where
the army is now camped, which was done j
as a precautionary measure by Un- rail- >
road officials. They have demanded of ;
Governor Jackson that he do something J
to end the business and they specially re- ;
quest that he take steps to keep the Omaha
laborers at iiorne. ,
Are Wet, Cold and Hungry.
Chautauqua, la., April IS.—General Kelly j
today received a telegram from the commit
tee in Chicago telling him he could be as
sisted east from that city, but he could
not be helped into Chicago. This evening
he received assurance, which he considers
“liable, that the army can have a train to
morrow if the men will march east about
ten miles, and he is arranging for an early
start. They are wet, cold and hungry.
General Frye at Eflingham.
Effingham, 111., April 16.-General Frye
and his commonweal arrived in this city
this afternoon 150 strong. General
Frye being in charge. They went Into camp
on the outskirts of the city and will re

The men arc? intelligent and well benaved.
Mayor Arnold, in behalf of the city, has

General Frye addressed an audience of 2,000
from the courthouse steps and was at
tentively listened to. At Vandalia yesterday
half of the men left the general’s command
and will proceed to Washington along the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
General Frye with his command wi.l pro
ceed from here along the Old National
road to Washington. The army seems to
be losing strength and numbers because of
the long and tiresome march. Diey are
provided with tents, blankets and cooking
utensils and depend upon the people for

Seymour, Ind., April IS.-Captain pahdn,
with 225 members of Fryes industrial aimjr,
arrived here today. Citizens Provisioned
them with half a slaughtered bullocK. eUO
pounds of bacon, 300 loaves of bread, a
bag of coffee, Potatoes and cabbages. At
Aurora, Ind., just outside the Ohio state
line, the army left the cars and camped In
the railway machine shops tonight. I hey
will march into Ohio to relieve the Balti
more and Ohio railroad (southwestern) of
liability for bringing vagrants into the
state. .
The California W ing.
San Bernardino, Cal., April 18.—The second
Los Angeles regiment of the “commonweal
army, eight of whose leaders are under
arrest here, is a thorn in the public side.
The authorities ot San Bernardino today
began to break up the band. Ihe leaders
were taken from the county jail to Colton
to plead before Justice Bingham to charges
of attempting to defraud the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company out of fares. They
pleaded not guilty, and made preparations
to furnish bail, with the intention of de
livering inflammatory speeches, but were
prevented from doing so by the district at
tornev, who filed complaints charging them
with incitmg riot. After pleading to the
charge, each one demanded a separate jury
trial, and proceed"'! to subpoena every
member of the army as a witness, thereby
hoping to get all of their comrades pay
at the rate ot J 2 a day during the trial ot
the eight different cases.
Pennsj Ivania Workmen on the Way.
Philadelphia, April 20.—Eight hundred
workingmen, tinder the leadership of John
S. Stewart, president of tht Workingmen s
Protective Tariff League, left this city to
day for Washington to enter their protests
against the Wilson bill. The start was
made from thg Reading Terminal station
a. few minutes after S o'clock. Four hun
dred wo _ Vingmen who boarded the tra.n
at that l ’ation were from Kensington.
They joined at the Baltimore and
Ohio station by 300 workers from the Mana
vunk and Germantown mill districts. It
wag nearly 9 o’clock when the train pull cd ;
out of the Baltimore and Ohio depot for
Washington. At Chester between 100 ana
200 more workingmen were taken on board.
STOLE A TRAIN.
Kelly’s Men Rate the idea of Walking
East.
Weston, la.. April 20.—“ General” Kelly
and ex-Congressman I’usey left here for
Omaha, on an early train. The weather
is severely cold and the ground was cov
ered with ice this morning. The industrial
army put. in a hard night, but most of them
were enabled to find dry places to sleep.
This morning Mr. Nixon, who runs a wood
yard, gave the men about twenty-five cords
of wood and they built rousing fires. Sev
eral of the men are suffering from pneumo
nia, but they have a good supply of med
icine. , ,
Kelly spent the day in Omaha and Council
Bluffs, endeavoring to secure railroad trans
portation for his men. He rejected offers
of Omaha sympathisers to send liis com
mand to Kansas City by steamboat down
tin.' Missouri river, and also one to divide
his men and send half to St. Paul and the
remainder to Rock Island.
Marched 1<» Connell HliilTm.
Omaha, Neb., April 20.—A crowd of 3,000
laboring men inarched from Omaha across
ti. : bridge to Council I.luffs tfrlJ morning
for th'- purpose of compelling the eastern
railroads, by force if necessary, to furnish
a train for Kelly's army. By the time it
reached the center of the city of Council
Bluffs it had grown to 6,000 men and forty
or fifty women.
The column had been preceded to Council '
Bluffs by a committee of prominent citi
zens, appointed last night at. a meeting of
th" Central Labor union. The committee
was to call on Governor Jackson and the
managers of the railroads, urging that the
commonwealers be at once started on their
way east.
Captured Hie tars.
The throng of workingmen captured a lot
of cars and an engine for Kelly’s use, but
when the train reached Weston, ten miles |
east of Council Bluffs, Kelly refused to j
have anything to do with it, and it was re- :
turned to Council Bluffs.
The sciiemt? that Kelly is now considering
and one to which he inclines favorably, is
to divide liis men into detachments of l()i>
men each. l"vy on the farmers for horses
and wagons and taking different routes,
march east on foot.
CAN SIT IN THE GALLERIES.
Coniiuontvealers Will Get the Usual i
I’rivileges at the Capitol.
Washington, April 2‘J.—Representative
Harmer, oi Philadelphia, called on Ser
geant-at-Arms i.iig.ic toauy prior to the ar
rival <d tne Phiiu telphia wage earners, io
confer with bun us to their rec ption ul
tht capitol. He said tin y• . -■■■■■ -
any connection whatever with tne Coxey
movement, but as workingmen able to pay
their own expenses, ana aesired to utter a
protest against the pas age ol the Wilson
bill. Colonel I.right said they would be
treated just as. an., otln r Am iii an citizens
visiting the capnoi. He pomted out tne
law bearing uoon the invasion of tin; <ap
itol grounus, which prohibits organizations
ot any kind marching through them as
such, and said unless overruled by higher
authority, he would see that the law was
enforced in this respect, as in all others
in cases coming under his jurisdiction, lie
said, however, if they came m u peaceable,
oni.Tly manner there would be no inter
ference with their privileges, and they
would be entitled to seats in the senate
■ iierie; >lng as they v.ere not occupied.
r \ delegation ot Pennsylvania work ng
men sixty-five strouu. to protest against ;
tile passage of the Wilson tariff bill, arrived -
at noon. They quietly proceeded to Met
zerrott’s music hull, where they bold a
mass meeting for tin' putpo''- of drawing
up a petition and resolutions to be pr
s-. nted to congress tomorrow... protesting
against the passage or the AViJsun t.'i'Ti
bill. The league is composed of both dem
ocrats and republicans.

Washington. April J.—The conference re
port on the further urgent deficiency bill
was presented .n the senut" and agreed to,
Th" r--solution oft’ered last Saturday by-
Mr i’efter for the appointment of a select
eomm.ttee of nine senators to receive all '
written er printed communieatioiis from
citizens or bodies or citizens visiting the cap- >
tol, or intending to do, and to hear them
orally, was presented and became the sub- ■
ject of discussion. . I
Mr. Peffer spoke of a growing disposi- |
tion on the part of many people to present i
their views to congress; and ol' the news- ■
paper statements (hat such movements
were taking place Irom Boston, New York, ,
Philadelphia, (’incinnati, Uh.cago, Minneap
olis, St. Louis and San Francisco. The ob- ,
ject of his resolution was to make their ■
wav easy. He was of the opinion that if ;
it went out that the senate, regarded by
many as t.,e American house of lords, had
appointed a committee to look after this
matter, it would go fast toward modifying
and mollifying puuiic sentiment, lie, there
fore, hoped that his resolution would be
agreed to, or would, at least, be referred
to a committee. He had regretted to see
language in the Washington papers as to
the intended arrest of Coxey and his follow
ers as vagrants.
Mr. Peffer explained that the followers of
Coxey were known as the army of peace.
They carried with them portraits of the
prince of peace, of the carpenter’s Son, a
lowly Nazarene, of the Man who taught I
"Peace on earth and good will toward I
men.” These men, he said, were -coming on |
a peaceful errand. They were coming to
say to congress that they were out of etn- i
ployment, and that they wanted something i
to do in order to have a decent living, i
Their Rights.
Mr. Allen, populist, of Nebraska, favored
tlie adoption 6f the resolution, not because
he approved of Coxey’s army or any other
army coming to Washington tor the pur
pose of presenting a petition in person to
congress, but because he believed that they
had a right, as American citizens, to do
so, and that it would be unwise on the part
of the senate to deny that right. It was
not for the senate to judge whether their
purpose was visionary or not. They had
a right to come and look in upon the
highest legislative body of the country of
which they were citizens. They had a right
to come and to be heard by a committee of
the senate; and they had a right to present
their grievances in person. No man,
whether senator or citizen, had the moral
or the legal right to deny them that privi
lege. He believed that Coxey had a right,
and that has followers had a right to be
treated with as much courtesy and kindness
as the president of the United States.
The discussion was still going on at 1
o’clock p. m., when the resolution went
over without action, and the tariff bill was
taken up. It was stated by Mr. Aldrich
that Mr. Quay, who has the floor to con
tinue his speech, was detained from the
chamber today by Hiners.
Mr. Perkins, republican, of California;,
addressed the senate in opposition to th®
bill.
