SHERMAN COMES
01 THE CHICAGO
r •
Ghastly, Muffled, His Face
Heavily Veiled,
A MAN DESPERATELY ILL
NO ONE WHO SAW 11IM C’OULI>
DOUBT THAT.
BORNE TO THE HOTEL ON A LITTER
Mrs. McCallum, the Ex Sectary's Daughter,
Was at Newport News to Receive Him.
Sherman is Wasted Almost
to a Skeleton.
Newport News. Ya., March 28. —The
cruiser Chicago which left Hampton
Knuds, March 12th, under orders to
overtake the American Liner Paris and
transfer from that ship ex-Secretary
John Sherman who had been taken se
riously ill, arrived at Old Point shortly
after the noon hour to-day with the
distinguished invalid on hoard. Mr.
Sherman was one of a party of tourists
who were visiting .points of recent his
torical interest, having chartered tin*
Paris for tli. purpose.
The Chicago after taking Mr. Sher
man on Imard sailed from Santiago last
Friday morning, proceeding direct to this
point. The party that returned with
the ex-Secretary on the Chicago is
composed of his nephew, Mr. Frank
AViborg, of Cincinnati, Dr. McGill, of
Duluth, the physician who has been in
constant attendance upon the sick man,
and Mrs. Dr. Santzer, who never leaves
the patient.
The ex-Secretary'S daughter, Mrs. Me-
Callutu. watched the cruiser’s approach
from tli s veranda of the Chamberlain
Hotel, preparations for the reception of
the invalid at that resort having been
made under her personal supervision.
Mr. Wiborg came ashore when the
cruiser dropp il anchor, bringing reassur
ing news to the anxious watchers, and
after a brief chat with Mrs. McCallum,
returned to the Chicago, the lady accom
panying him.
Later in the afternoon, Mr. Sherman,
closely muffled and with the features
entirely concealed beneath a heavy black
veil, was placed in a steam launch and
removed to the pier. Two officers and ,
four men from the ship accompanied Mr.
Sherman and his attendants. He was
borne in a litter to the note! on the
broad should rs of four marines. A
gust of wind lifting tdie veil disclosed
the face of the, invalid. It was wan,
pinched and of a deathly pallor. A
crowd of several hundred people wit
nessed the removal of the sick man
to the hotel.
At <* p. m. he was again placed on the
litter and taken on board the Washing
ton boat.
That Mr. Sherman is a very sick man,
no one who got a glimpse of the invalid’s
ghastly features can doubt. He has lost
flesh until little remains of the once ac
tive and vigorous man but a frame, and
he is obviously far advanced in feeble
ness and gen nil infirmity.
While being prepared for the stretcher,
Mr. Sherman gave the sailors who were
to carry him. minute orders as to how
they should handle the conveyance.
SIFFEItED FOIL THE GUILTY.
Imprisoned for a Murder They Never
Committed.
Kansas City, Mo.. March 28. —The
Star to-day prints a three-column story
regarding the arrest of a remarkable
gang of Kansas criminals who have for
y.ars lived by means of robbery and
murder. One of the gang is believed
to lie llie murderer of Jos. New, who
was killed in Greenwood county. Kan
sas. two years ago, for which New's wife
and Gtsirge 11. Dobbs aril now serving
life sentences.
So firmly does Warden Landis, of the
Kansas penitentiary, believe in the inno
cence of Mrs. New and Dobbs that lie
will imm diately urge Governor Stanley
to pardon them. Frank Alt goal, alleged
to be the real murderer, is in jail at
loin. Kansas, under a charge of forgery.
Alvin Ballard, serving an eight year sen
tence in the Kansas peiiiF ntiary l'or
horse stealing, has confess J mat he.
A'ltgood and “Bill’ Turner, \v*iv the
murdereres of New and that Mrs. New
and Dobbs are absolutely innocent.
Turner lias not lieon found.
It seems that the very men who mur
dered New and robbed iris den 1 body,
conspired afterward to.convict the widow
and Dobbs. The supposed murderer,
Altgood, according to Ballard, even
went so far as to try to get on the jury
which convicted them.
Ballard goes on to say that he, Alt
good and Turin r were memliers of an
organized gang of thieves and murderers
that operated in Southeastern Kansas.
As a result of his confession, eighteen
stolen horses, a bag of counterfeit silver
dollars and a count. rlViting outfit have
been recovered. Beside Altgood, B. L.
M;tt lies. Mary Mat lies and Herbert
Simpson are under arrest. Fifty other
horses stolen by the gang have b en lo
cated.
The officers are on the trail of other
inemlers of the gang. Ballard also
alleges that Altgood murdered Win.
Ooultner near Eureka, in 1881). Officers
who have been working on Lite case
have corroborated many of the Ballard
statements.

KNIGHTS OF THE QUILL MEET.
Southern Publishers’ Association Holds •
it Session in Richmond.
Richmond. Va., March 28.- The
Soutln rii Publishers' Association was in
session here to-day and transacted mm h
business of imiKirtii'iice, not alone to their
respective papers, but to the South gen
erally. The business meeting was held
in a parlor of the Jefferson Hotel, and in
the evening an elegant banquet was
served in that hotel’s dining room with
the local newspaper proprietors as hosts.
The business meeting was presided over
by Mr. George W. Ochs, of the Chatta
nooga Times; and there were present
Messrs. Lelattd Rankin, of the Nash vide
American; \Y. .1. Ewing, of the same
paper; Clark Howell, of the Atlanta

and the Memphis Commercial Appeal;

mark ; C. P. J. Mooney, of the Com
mercial-Apiteal; D. A. Tompkins, of the
Charlotte Observer and L, J. Brooke, of
the Jackson (Tenn.) Whig.

represented. Besides tin- Southern
newspaper men, Colonel M. E. Stone,
the general manager, and Colonel C. A. ■
Boynton, tli Southern manager el the ,
Associated Press and Mr. P. E. Dow
were present and sat in the meeting. One
of the most important subjects for con
sideration was the improvement of Ih<*
Associated Press in the South, and Vho
discussion was led by Mr. Mooney. \
Colonels Stone and Boynton and several
members of the association tori; an
in the discussion, aud many
ftu-ts were elicited, which it is thought
will redound to the interests of the
Associated Press and of the taper*
which it serves. Each representative of
a paper had some point to bring out
concerning the nature of the service b st
adapted to lus location, and those who
had any complaints to make were heard
attentively, Mr, Stone making a note of j
each, with assurances that its far a*
possible all would be considered. Colo
nel Stone made a comprehensive state
ment concerning the workings of tin As
sociated Press, and the ntembers present
derived much valuable information fn in
lias talk. One striking feattir* brought,
out in the discussion was the unanimous
desire on the part of tne members to
have the papers devote more space and
energy to th:i development ot the indus
tries of tiie South and less to lyncliings
and more alxmt fttrnac *s and factories.
At the afternoon session the associa
tion discussed further questions
affecting the publishing interests and
then adjourned until l):80 o’clock to
morrow morning, when officers will be
elected and the place of the next meet
ing decided tt|K>n.

visitors, was an elegant affair. There
were only nineteen at the table, inti the
service was most elaborate, the menu ex
cellent and the entire affair delightfully
informal. Mr. George W. Ochs, the
president of the association, occupied the
head of the table, with Governor Tyler
on his right, while sir the foot of no
table sat Colonel C. O’B. Cowardiii, of

A Movement on Foot to Make Him a
Candidate.
Milwaukee. Wis., March 28.—The
Journal to-day says: ,
“That, a mov .meat is under way to
make ex-Secretary of State Richard
Oil ley the Democratic candidate for
President next year is revealed in a let
ter from Boston to the Journal.
“Gneral Oliley’s campaign is based
on the theory that ho is in favor of
imperialism while opimsod to annexation.
“The writer of the* letier referred to is
very prominent in Democratic polities,
and he says the movement in Mr.
Olney's favor is well under way. It is
urged in his behalf, that he, though it
gold Democrat in 181 Hi, did not make
himself obnoxious to the free silver ele
ment and that on the expansion ques
tion he would Ik* an available
candidate, being opinised to tin* annexa
tion of distant islands to the f-*rrit>ry of
tin* Cuited States. Mr. Gluey's Hews
on thi.: acquisition of foreign territory
are very pronounced. He believes in
the United States striving with the <>t'm r
nations of the world for commercial
greatness, but not for political exten
sion.”
