\v VUUK, Dec. 27. —The'"Eoxow committee, fceorncl, hiuyiied ut aud considered a huye joke when it ilrst bctfiin its-work, a^ scoured its lir.it U'rcat victory in tho criminal courts. Ex-Police Cu.pt. John L.Stephenson luis been scntoiit'ed to three years and nine months in the penitentiary at Sin# Binj»" und to pay a tine of $1,000.

The laughter that first prroeted tiie Lexowcoinntilteo coancd lony ago, but Wednesday marked an epoch in the history of its labors, nevertheless. It was the conMinunation of it.s 1ir»t. great ciisj, and now no one ean doubt that an almost endle.ss number of convictions, witli their .ae» conipunying- sentences, will follow.

C'ouvlct:l and So»!-.ul't»l.

The jury found Cupt. .Stephenson guilty after a trial ending December 12. The crime charged, against him was accepting- bribes from street, merchants and peddlers, although the only case conclusively proved was that he had accepted four baskets of peiiches from a fruit merchant named Martin l\ Kdwnrda. It was of this that he was convicted, but there were so many other matters that looked suspicions that the conviction was generally regarded as oue for general "boodling" and bribe-tak-ing,

Tukos It 1'oolly.

Stephenson, after sentence wai passed, was at once taken back to tho Toombs, lie took the matter vurj coolly, but did not care to discuss it at ny length. "1 may as woll go up," lie said, '"and begin serving my term ot once, as I deem it useless to light the case in the courts." l-'ur good behavior lie may earn a commutation ol eleven months, thus making the actual time of imprisonment two years and ten months.

Wrriiiesittty'H Si-HMOti.

The courtroom was crowded when the Loxuw committee resumed, its sessions on Wednesday. Ex-Waivlmun Shalbv was recalled to the stand, lie said he had served as wardmwn in the Twelfth precinct under Capts. Webb. Poherty, iiakins and Schult/.. and had eollccted money tnonthh from disorderly houses, poolrooms, policy-shops and saloons. lie g?we money to i.'apt. Webb and never retained any of it. The captain, however, returned a portion to him. lie had colleetm! as high as &<IJ0 in one month. During JSSs he'collectcd abont i)ic!j he gav- to 'aot. Webb. TSu» proeetlure was )riiv lically the sa nit- \Hid«'r the other o: p*a.in.-s me!«tioned. '•Joitoy J'uid ii« a \Vitness said thai this inuiiev WK" paid ns a bribe. The police never interfered with any of thpse houses unless there were charges of assault or robbery or something of that kind coming from them. In reply in the chairman the witness said that the proprietor of a house who did not pay had to close. He said that the collections since the committee commenced its investigation were not. conducted on the sume plan as before. He spoke to apt. Schultz of the advisability of being more cautious. Capt. Schultz accepted all the money as a bribe. The amount paid Schultz was about, 64»0.

Inspector William* l!mr«l.

After recess Inspector Williams was called to the stand, lie has been a member of the police force since AugustH, ISM. He was worth $15,000 or §20.000 when he joined the force. This was the fifth committee, he said, that had examined him since he became a member. He denied emphaticoily statements which had been made to the effect that he had been engaged in any outside business since he lieeame policeman.

Ill* Shoulder* Itroaii.

The inspector »aid that lie had heard' so many stories uboitt himself that he would not., be surprised to be accused of any rin»e. (lis shoulder^ were broad and heavy. He admitted that he iiH'J been before the police commissioners eighteen times to answer to complaints. The witness then'denied the testimony of the witness IVrkins, who testified that when Inspector Williams was in the street cleaning dr-pijrtment lie received a bribe of S-r00 for indorsing department bills. lie thou:!'I it .'Perkins had lied deliberately, why. he had no idea.

The inspector said it was not neeenBary for him to indorse the street dopart me nt bills as the depart men could d«» so. lie had never heard of any charges of corruption being brought against him. Heing reminded that Capt. Sehmittbergcr had sworn that lie had paid the witness money, the latter said it was untrue. Me could not state any fact which he thought would induce Sehmittberger to testify falsely against him. He believed he did it to save himself from state's prison. lie had read in some newspapers thai Capt. Schmitlberger had been promised immunity if he would testify. The witness said that Sehmittberger had reported to him as closed the poolrooms which he had testified flourished in his district. He did not attempt to verify Sclimittberger's reports because he believed thera to be correct. He (the witness) had closed many disorderly houses while in charge of the Tenderloin district, but when a'-ked to give the name of one so closed, said, after a pause, that he cou-d not remember.

At this point the session adjourned for the daw

Spanish flag which trade with our ports. It was the original intention of the state department to have recourse to the power of prohibition of Spanish trade conveyed by the act of 1890, but as this power has never vet been exercised and as it probably has been deemed best to follow in the line of precedent it is quite clear the department has fallen back upon section 4,228 of the revised statutes. A paragraph of the old Morrill tariff act, which still stands on the statute books, imposes a duty of 10 per cent, in addition to all other duties upon goods brought into the United States in ships of foreign countries, unless they

QUICKLY AVENGED.

Brutal Assassination of an Aged Mississippi Storekeeper.

IS SHOT

DEATH IN HIS BED

A Posse Pursues His Murderers—One of Them Is Killed While Trying to Escape—The Other Captured —His Fate Unknown.

MERIDIAN, Miss., Dec. 27.—Jake Copp, 75 years old, a highly respected citizen, together with his aged wife lived near Perkinsville, a village in the southwest corner of Winston county, where they conducted a small mercantile business. Last Saturday night about 12 o'clock, after he and his wife had retired for the night, two shots, one from a double-barrel gun and the other from 44-caliber pistol, were fired simultaneously through his window, both of which took effect as the old gentleman lay in bed, producing almost instant death.

After the Fiends.

After thus assassinating the old man, the villains went to the store, broke in and robbed it, carrying off a supply of miscellaneous merchandise and $6.50 in cash that was found in the drawer. After completing their work of murder and pillage, an effort was made to burn the storehouse and dwelling, but fortunately the fire in both instances died out.

The news of the crime spread rapidly through the neighborhood and a posse of 100 men was soon organized and went in pursuit of the guilty parties. Suspicion pointed to a negro named Dan McDonald, alias Dan Rich, who has borne very bad reputation, and a half-breed Indian, Will Carter, who has thrice been tried for his life in the courts of Kemper county, having slain two negro men and an Indian woman. These men lived 15 miles away from the scene of the crime, but the pursuing party had not traveled far before they found evidence to confirm their suspicions.

One Shot Dead.

Before they reached McDonald's house the half-breed, Carter, joined the pursuers and became conspicuous in an apparent effort to capture the murderers. As soon as McDonald saw the posse of armed men at his gate he ran into the house and closed the door behind him. Several shots were fired without effect, but he passed out at a rear door and was shot down as he attempted to make his escape across a cotton field. A quantity of the stolen merchandise and the gun and pistol with which old man Copp was murdered, were recovered at McDonald's house.

In the Posse's Hands.

After his dead body was carried into the house, the negro's wife declared that Carter, the half-breed, had accompanied her husband and assisted in the killing of Copp and the robbing of his store. Carter, after being pursued into a swamp, where, under cover of night, he made a temporary escape, was run down by bloodhounds and captured after a chase through three counties, in an outhouse on an Indian's place in Neshoba county. He was securely bound and carried in the direction of Winston county, but nothing further has been heard from him.

COSTLY DIAMONDS STOLEN.

Case Containing Gems Valued at $2,000 Missing at Jackson, Mich. JACKSON, Mich., Dec. 27.—Mrs. Maggie Ferguson, who has for many years conducted a millinery store in this city, has been unable to find a jewel case containing diamonds valued at over $2,000. Sunday morning she placed the jewels in their usual place in her store and went to church.

When she returned the diamonds were gone. In the case were diamond earrings, which cost over $1,000, also a solitaire diamond ring and a very valuable necklace.

Afraid of Diphtheria.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 27.—The board of health of Warren, O., has notified Superintendent Charles Watts, of the Pennsylvania lines, not to unload any more passengers in Warren from Ashtabula. An epidemic of diphtheria that has been progressing for a fortnight in Ashtabula shows no signs of improvement. The sale of tickets from Ashtabula to Warren was ordered stopped.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—A caucus of the house democrats to consider the pending banking bill will probably be held immediately after the reassembling of congress next Thursday.
