Both Republican and Demo crats Caucusing to Reach Agree taenia Prffer Attack Ibe Pro poned Bond Ianue. Washington, Jan. 18,-Senator Wal thall of Mississippi has resigned. In bis letter of resignation to the Governor of Mississippi be says: "The condition of my health cotnpells me to seek a milder climate for the remainder of the winter season. The alternative is presented me of resigning my present position or of absenting myself from my post of duty at a time when it is important that our State sbonld have two senators in their seats. It best accords with my sense of public obligation to pursue the former course and I trust that it may seem to my constituents, as it does to me." The present term of Senator Walthall would expire March 3, 1895. Republican Senators met in caucus this morning to consider matters connected with legislation now before the Senate and agree upon some concerted plan of action. No definite conclnsion was reached and the caucus adjourned after having irausicrreu tne question to toe usual committee, which will consider the mat ter further and report to a future caucus. A note to the vice President from Sen ator Walthall stating that he bad sent to the Governor of his State his resigna tion, to take effect on the 24th, was laid before the Senate and placed on file. A resolution offered bvPeffer was laid over till tomorrow declaring the Secretary of tne treasury nas no lawiui authority for issuing and selling bonds, as pro posed in his notice of yesterday. In the House, alter disposal of some routine business, that body, at 11:25 o'clock, went into committee of the whole to consider the Wilson bill. A caucus of the House Democrats will probably be held alter the income tax bill is reported, to consider what action shall be taken with reference to that measure. The Democratic majority in the House seems to be pretty evenly divided regarding the proposition. The purpose of the caucus will be to talk over the matter and decide whether it is best to consider it as a separate measure or incorporate it in the tariff bill. AT WORK IN EARNEST.

Too Cheap, in Fact, To Be ol Auv Account, A warrant was issued today for Archie Taylor, colored, who is charged with victimizing persons here with a pension swindle. Mary Floyd, a white woman, says Taylor proposed to her that he could get for her a pension on account ol bcr lather and brother, who, he claimed were killed in the war. The woman had heard nothing from those relatives for years and could not even say whether thev were in the war. She paid Taylor $1.50, which he said he must have before writing to Washing ton. Later he called on the woman and said he was sure she could get the pen sion and demanded an additional $3. The woman would not pay this, and placed the case with the Pinion Detective agency, and the warrant was procured. it is anegea mat layior also procured money by bis pension scheme from Pete Stroud, l'attie Anderson nnd Mary Gardner.

Itccause of the persistence with which be has managed to keep himself in the background, the people of Asheville had supposed that perhaps lluzz(that's"Joe" Dickcrson's dog) bad bitten off more than he could chew of a hot "winney" and expired. Out it was only the calm before the storm, for Tuesday Ituzz took it into his head to make trouble for some chickens belonging to someone else. When Bum finished bis matinee the chickens were still whole, but minis three-fourths of their feathers. Suit for damages has not yet been brought by the owner of the chickens, until which time Butt will laugh over his last escapade. Only for a short while Don MnrcUf. THE KINO WON THE TRICK. But The Officers Mav Have An Inning Later On. A ball and chain yearn for one Ransey King alias John Derrab, colored, who has been showing a great talent for swindling. At Biltmote there are two washer women, Lizzie Burton and Maria Pen land, who were unconsciously caused to help King in bis work. Among those for whom they do washing is Dr. A. S. Whitaker of Biltmore. Last Friday King appeared at Dr. Wbitaker's and : said the wind had blown the too off the women's honse and they wished $3.50 to repair it. After some persuasion the Doctor, who did not fullv believe King's gtory, gave bim $2.50. That is the last be has seen of him, although the Doctor noticed next day tbat there was nothing wrong with tne bouse root alluded to. The Burton and Penland women also wash for J. V.Brown and family of Ashe ville, sending tne bundles in by colored men. Last week King brought a note signed Maria Penland, asking Mr. Brown to send her $G, as her little girl had had her leg broken. Mr. Brown met King at his gate and alter reading the note told King to come uptown and be would give bim something. King came and was given $2. Then he wrote a note to Airs. Brown asking lor $2, on account f the girl's broken leg. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. C. W. Brown each gave King $1. The swindle was discovered when the man who brought the wash was asked how the girl was progressing. Besides these, King forged Charles Ridlev's name to an order and secured $4 w jrth of goods from Shade Pat ton. Lock Gaither's name was also forged to an order for $2 in goods on J. H. Reed, and King got $1.20 from c. k. wnitaicer tor wood cutting tbat did not measure up correctly. Two warrants have been issued for King, but so far he has eluded capture. He came from Lincoln county. DESERTS THE RANKS. Another Asheville Young nan to Leave the Mingle tins.

Valuable Property Gone Adrlli As 10 Its Title. PiiNSACiUA, Fla.,Jan. 18. The decis ion of the Supreme court at Talhassec in the Piudaro grant case has created a sensation here. It wipes out the claim of the Pindaro heirs and assigns a mil lion dollars worth of Pensacula prop erty, embracing the entire water front 110m iiavou Texas to Bayou Chico. Pindaro, to whom the grant was made in 1S17, in recognition of services, was a trusted officer of the Spanish govern ment during its occupancy of Pensacola and he in a large measure surveyed and laid out the town. Much of this grant hasbeen encroached upon by artificial extensions and seizure under color of riparian rights, and it was this clash with the claims of the Pindaro heirs and assigns thHt carried this case into the courts. The question agitating the minds of the people here today is that, if the Pindaro grant carries tiD good title, to whom does this valuable property revert to the owners of ripa rian rights, the city, the State, the govern ment or the snuattcrs n ho mav now claim precedent right to purchase '? It is thought that those claiming titles under the Pindaro grant will appeal the case to the I'nitcd States Supreme court. A GRIT TV SHERIFF. He Will Trv to Stop the Corbett- Mllchell Fight.
