Afternoon.
-jpohimbus,O ,Oct. 19 —The spe
cial tr»it. bearing Sheriff Cook and
Deputy Sheriff Bostwick, of Fay
ette courpy, with the negro rapist
prisoner, William Dolby, alias Ja>-
per in custody arrived here at 8
o’clock yesterday morning.
The train bore also six compa
nies of the fourteenth regiment —
all local companies—the remain
dered' the troop being left at Wash
iueton court house,
The tram was stopped near the
state prison andthe sheriff and his
deputy, with the prisoner in custo
dy walked hurriedly unguarded to
the main entrance, and in a few
moment’s Dolby was behind the
great stone wall of‘-the pententia
ry, whe.e he will spend ths next
twenty years of his life at hard la
bor.
Quite a crowd, was collected at
the central station to see the priso
ner, and were disappointed to see
only the soldiers when the train
drew in. The crowd was .a curious
one, however, and no violence to
the prisoner would have been at
tempted if he had been brought to
the union station in the train.
The trip from Washington
Courthouse was without incident.
The mob was easily controlled
when the reinforcements of the
military arrived at Washington
Courthouse at StßOo’clock p. m.
They gathered in little knots, but
offered no resistance.
The prisoner was at once taken
from the jail and placed upon the
train and the journey here was'be
gun. Colonel Coit did not order
the cartridges taken from the rifles
until a coal schute two miles north
of Washington Courthouse was
passed, as there Sheriff Cook fear
ed an attack upon the tram
might be made, hut the train was
not molested.
Governor McKinley arrived from
Cincinnati at 8 o'clock a id, after
a consultation with Sheriff Coo:,
of Fayette county, and receiving
a number «f telegrams fr >m promi
nent citizens of Fayette county,
ordered all the troops remaining
oh duty at Washington Courthouse
to their homes. He says he is as
sured that there will be no further
lawlessness there.

Cumberland, Md., October 19.
—Upto 11:15 o’clock this morn
ing there was no new developments
in the tram robbery case. Searcy,
the man captured here yesterday,
s ill holds out that he is innocent,
while the Adams Express Compa

o clock this after ioon b< for Judgi s i
Boyd and Hoffman, of the circuit |
court. Searcy is non-communici -
tive. He has located himself at

cape. Sentenced once to
Hang for Hanging a
Negro but was Par
doned. Abad man
Meridian, $ iss., October 19
Yesterday one of the most cold
blooded and heartless murders ev
er committed in this section was
that of W. T. Martin, a white man
who whipped his infant daughter
to death with a leather strap, near
Energy, Miss.
A posse was soon formed and a
hunt for the murderer instituted,
but as yet he has not been captur
ed.
Martin is a bad man. In 1888
he and a man named Hood, at
Sandersville, got on a spree and
caught np an inoffensive negro
man, put a rope around his neck
and hung him. Hood left the
country, but Martin went around
among his friends, bragging of the
deed.
He wa« soon after arrested and
tried at Ellisville, Miss., and sen
tenced to be hanged. A petition
w is signed by his friends and pre
sented to Governor Robet Lowery,
who commuted his sentence to life
imprisonment, and just as Govern
or Lowery left the gubernatorial
chair he pardond Martin from the
penitentiary.
Martin has recently appeared
before the United States court on
several charges of telling whiskey
without license. He was convicted
and given a long term in jail. He
had just been liberated from pris
on when tbe murder of yesterday
occurred.

Is there a city in Georgia twice
the size of Rome that lias as good

there is I have not heard of it. Is
there a city in the south of three
