T. Murphy, city marshal of Crystal Springs, arrived In the city last Sunday and yesterday visited the parish prison. The negroes who had been arrested In connection with tne recent troubles were shown nlm and he recognized several of them as parties whom he had known in Crystal Springs. Nearly all negroes who were friends or confederates of the negro murderer, Robert Charles, were Mississippi negroes, as was also Charles himself. Sedative to the latter Mr.

Murphy was well acquainted with his history up to the time he left his home in Mississippi. Charles' father, Jasper Charles, was tor a long time a resident of Williamsburg, where three sons, John Westley, Luke and. Robert Charles, were born. About twelve years ago toe moved to Crystal Springs, and was living there since. John Wesley Charles and Luke Charles were killed over a crap game, and Robert Charles, the negro who murdered the four poUce officer, the boy run-field and Van Kuren, meeting the man who had killed one or both of his brothers, opened fire on him tn Crystal Springs with a Winchester rifle.

He failed to kill the party, whose name was George Childs and attempted to escape. He was nuMued and sought refuge in tne house of a white lady named Mrs. Lang, who, however, picked np a snotgun ana held the desperate negro at bay until assistance came up, and Charles was arrested. He served a term In the penitentiary for this, but the punishment 'bad no good effect upon him. Robert Charles bad been bad rom boyhood, and was not only desperate, but gambled and was addicted to other vices.

Mr. Murphy also knew Ford, Who was found concealed between the mattresses in the house wnere Charles made his last stand. Ford was sflso a resident of Crystal Springs, and while not considered a desperate negro, was addicted to crap shooting and gambling. When Mr. Murphy saw Ford the latter amiled and at once recognised the city marshal.

The latter also knew the Nlxons (man and woman), who were arrested In connection with tne killing of Sergeant Por-teous and Corporal Lally. These people, Mr. Murphy states, were not bad negroes, but bore a good reputation in that community. Some six years ago, when the tracks of the various street railways were being reconstructed and electric lines took the place of the old mule cars, a large number of negroes were brought to the city from Mississippi and Alabama, and many of them remained here. Among them were Charles and Ford, and they Ivad been living In the city ever since.

PILE DRIVING. An Interesting Discussion by the Louisiana Engineers. Daring Which the Foundation of the Custom-House Is Authentically Described. The Louisiana Engineering Society held Its regular monthly meeting at the society looms on Union street last night. President H.

J. Malochee presided. The attendance was large. It having been announced that a paper read by Mr. Jas.

C. Haugh at the previous meeting would be discussed by several geotlemen who had been appointed for the purpose. The paper In question dealt with the creosot-ing of timbers and plledrlring, having particular reference to Mr. Haugh's experiences in the Sonstruotton of the Northeastern Railroad bridge across lake Pontchartrainv Messrs. W.

C. Klrkland, T. C. Sampson and W. B.

Wright were expected to take the lead In discussing the paper, but Messrs. Klrkland and Sampson were absent. Mr. Wright opened the discussion, raising many questions, and his remarks were supplemented i by questional and remarks from many of the gentlemen present. Mr.

Haugh answered all questions, and made-many explanations as to the phenomena encountered In constructing the bridge, particularly with reference to the penetration of plies through various mediums encountered, and their rigidity and sustaining power una er varying conditions. After the drsenssion of Mr. Haugh's paper was concluded. Mr. Wright read a short paper, entitled.

"Notes Upon Pile dealing more particularly with the piling driven, for foundations of the central power-house and pumping stations of the city drainage system. He gave many interesting details of test pile drrrlng and borings at these points. A general discussion of piling as foundations in this soil followed, and finally drifted to the foundation of the custom-house. It has long been a matter of. popular belief that the custom-house was ouilt upon a foundation of cotton pales and piling.

Major B. M. Harrod set that question at rest forever. He said that he remembered the whole thing, and besides has copies of General Beauregard's notes on the subject. The custom-house was built upon a foundation of 12x12 beams laid transversely la two layers, upon which 20 feet of concrete was Imposed, and then the masonry.

He said that the masonry of this building Is so perfect that It Is with Its foundation firactlcally. a monolith, the settling har-ng followed the same lines as If ft had been a single, block of stone, and therefore doing no damage and making no apparent distortions in the lines of the building. He -said that up to the civil war General -Beauregard s- notes show the settling of the custom-house waa 16 Inches at Canal and Levee, and 82 inches at Customhouse and Levee. The association voted upon the question of an outing to be taken some time In September, and decided to visit the Avery salt' mines, and the president- was Instructed to appoint a committee of fire to arrange for the trip. It was determined the bylaws and Constitution of the association -be reprinted, and money was appropriated for that purpose.

There1 toeing further business, the president declared the meeting adjourned, after thanking the members for the full attendance and, interest taken In the discussions. EX-MINISTER MORGAN DIES IN NEW YORK. A- Great Lawyer and DiplomaV of Distinguislied Ancestry, He Was the Only One of the Louisiana Who Did ITot Take TJp Arms for the South, But Bemained. Neutral in England Until Peace Returned. Then Resuming His Career.

A dispatch received here yesterday announces the death on Aug. 12, 1000, In New York, city, where be had resided since his retirement from public life, of Judge Philip Hlckey Morgan, at the age of 75 years. Judge Morgan's great-grandfather was a colonel In the revolutionary war and a personal friend of Washington. One of Sds sons. General John Morgan, was the grandfather of the late Philip Hlckey MoTgan.

Judge Morgan was born In JUDGE PHILIP Barton Rouge in 1823. He comes of an old and respected Pennsylvania family and traced his descent from Thomas Mc- Kean, the first chief justice of that state. He was named after Philip Hlckey, of Baton Rouge, one of his father's dearest friends, a generous gentleman, who was one of the first citlsens of this state. H. G.

Morgan, of this city, grandson of Philip Hlckey, Is a fint cousin of Judge Morgan, and Dr. Morris Hlckey Morgan, of Harvard University, great-grandson of Philip Hlckey, a distinguished scholar and professor of the Latin language, is Judge Morgan's second cousin. The father of Judge Morgan, Thomas Glbbs Morgan, settled In Louisiana in the early part of the century, and engaged in the practice of law in the city of Baton Rouge. Judge Morgan assisted his father in annotating the civil code in the French and English lapguages, in an edition of that work wblch was for a long time much used and valued throughoutt the state. Coming to New "Orleans to Hve, Judge Morgan was elected judge of the second district court, and presided over It with marked atilllty for a term of four yeara.

In 1806 he was appointed United States district attorney ty President JChnson, and afterwards reappointed by General Grant. He resigned his second appointment. In 1873 he became one of the Justices of the supreme court of Louisiana and remained on the bench until December, 1876. In the following spring Judge Morgan was appointed judge of the International tribunal sitting at Alexandria, in Bgypt. In 1880 he was appointed envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the republic of Mexico by Preal-dent Hayes.

He succeeded Colonel John W. Foster in that post. The New York Herald, speaking about his appointment at the time, said: "He is of an old and eminent Louisiana family, was an opponent of secession and a union who, after his state joined the Confederacy, went to Europe, Where he remained until the restoration of peace. He has one reputation of being one of the ablest lawyers of Louisiana, and 4s a master particularly of the French and Spanish codes, and after the war toe was placed on-the supreme bench of the state. He was from the first an adherent and supporter of President Hayes' southern policy, and aided In securing Ms success In Louisiana.

He was selected on account of his extensive and accurate knowledge of various languages and foreign codes to be a member of the international court in Egypt, a body the members of whden are named toy foreign governments, tout paid by the khedlve. As minister to Mexico he ha the advantage of a thorough knowledge of the Span-ton language and literature and familiarity with the Mexican government and people, and it is understood that he was selected for the post of minister to Mexico by Secretary Evarts as specially suited by character, knowledge and ability to carry out the views which the administration is known to entertain of the great Importance to the United States and Mexico of closer and enlarged commercial friendly relations between the two countries. Judge Morgan ta a man of high character, and by his birth and long residence In Louisiana, well fitted, it is believed, to utilize by his services as minister to Mexico the closer connection of southwestern states with the Mexican republic. "Judge Morgan was he youngest of five sons. His four brothers were In the Confederate service.

Captain George Maher Morgan, of the First Louisiana Volunteers, died and was burled at Orange courthouse In Virginia, In 1S64. Captain Thomas Glbbs Morgan died at Johnson's Island In the same year, while a prisoner of war." An editorial printed at the time of his appointment said among other things: Judge P. H. Morgan Is one of the few southern Republicans who joins large ability, high position and a long experience to a character without stain. It wtts a grievous pain to him that he was not in political accord with his own people.

In he south in the stormy years which preceded the overthrow of the Republican administration, the greatest sacrifice that an Influential southerner could make to his convictions was to assert his adhesion to the Republican party, lit-carried wKh it. in a large measure, the loss of what Is dear to all of us the sympathy and companionship of lifelong friends. It separated such a Republican from- the body of the white people as completely as his own reputation separated him from the gaag of scalawags and carset-baggers whom the Democrats opposed. Many In the south thought what Judge Morgan thought. Few bad the courage to do what he The only; compensation was the continued and unshaken confidence or the good people of Louisiana.

His nomln atlon as minister to Mexico was made without his knowledge. President Hayes has done a gracious set. Were he always eble to find men like Judge Morgan to fill the higher public offices there would be no -cause to comolatn because none but. were, appointed to of-, flee." --k Judge Morgan wrote an analysis of the history of the Snes canal which attracted world wide attention, because it foretold the collapse which eventually did come. It brought forth a blttter reply -from Count, Ferdinand de Lesseps, but that did not stem the tide of public sentiment against the enterprise, aroused i by juage aiorgan's ana exnausuve There an Incident worthy of note hi the history of -the Morgan famllr.

Colonel Thomas'' Morgan, after the revo lutionary war," settled on- a vast estate In-western Pennsylvania, which be called Morgaxtza, Here he was visited by. Aaron Burr, with wtom he had been on terms of Intimacy, and who hoped to enlist Colonel Morgan's two. sons In his wild scheme of empire. He had reckoned without hta host, however, and the latter became so Indignant that Burr did not disclose, his plans- until, one day dinner, while flushed with wine, he exclaimed: "With five hundred men. New could be taken, and with two hundred congress could be driven Into the There was" Instant confusion at the table, and one of the sons afterwards general), John Morgan, arose and said: "By God, air.

with that force you cannot take our little town of Cannonsburg, to which Burr replied: "Confine yourself to this side of the mountains, If you filease, and I'll not contradict you." He eft the table, and the next morning left the house. Colonel Morgan gathered enough of Burr's schemes to lay the matter before President Jefferson, wbo asked him to act the part of a good citizen and trace further the footsteps of this enterprise. When Burr was- tried at Richmond Col- onel Morgan was one of the witnesses. While filling his post of minister to Mexico -Judge Morgan entertained Gen- HICKET HOROAlf. eral and Mrs.

U. S. GTant, who were en their famous tour around the world. The banquet which he tendered General Grant was one of the grandest seen In the Mexican capital, and all the distinguished personages in the land of Astecs were there. Just before his sppolntment as minister to Mexico his' name had been suggested for appointment as one of the commissioners who were to straighten out the affairs of the khedlve of Egypt.

Judge 'Morgan was married In 1852 to Beatrice Ford, a lady remarkable for beauty and cultivation, a native of Baton Rouge. Seven children were Issue of this marriage. A daughter, Charlotte Morgan, was married to the late John A. Gilmore, a member of the bar of this city, where two grandsons, Philip Morgan GUmor? and. Thomas Gilmore, and one granddaughter, Beatrice Morgan Gilmore, reside.

Judge Morgan had had the advantage of foreign training In the law schools of Paris. He possessed remarkable conversational powers and was widely Tead. He was an accomplished linguist and master of a vigorous Style. He was an able and successful lawyer, to whom litigation of great importance was Intrusted. He had a stately and commanding presence, long familiar to the people of New Orleans, where his qualities of head and heart, his talents, as well as his.

attainments, made him many devoted friends. Died of Cancer. Special, to the Plcayime.l New York, Aug. 13. Philip Hicky Morgan died from cancer at his home.

His son, Henry Morgan, Is at present United States consul at Aarau, Switzerland. When you say your blood Is Impure and appetite poor yon are admitting your need of Hood's Sarsaparllla. Begin taking It at once. THE GAYSOH HEARING. Edward Johnson, of IVevr Orleans.

an Accountant, Testifies. New York, Aug. 13. The hearing In the proceedings to secure the removal of the Gaynors and Benjamin Green, accused of conspiracy to defraud the government In connection with Ex-Captain Oberiln M. Carter, in Savannah harbor Improvements, was continued before United States Commissioner Shields today.

District Attorney Krwin announced that he had one mere witness to call and his side of the case would end. and an adjournment was taken for two hours. At the afternoon session Mr. Sterling continued his testimony. He was shown a.

letter from E. W. Howell, a bidder under Captain Carter, dn which complaint was made on the short length of time allowed for submitting bids, nis told having been rejected on a Kellogg objected to the admission of this, letter on the eround that -the signature had-not been proven and might not be genuine. The commissioner reserved decision. Edward Johnson, an expert accountant of New Orleans, was the next witness.

He was also a witness In the Carter court-martial proceedings. He said he was present In the attorney general's office when the box of private papers of Captain Carter was opened, and there was no indication that tne box bad been opened or tampered It contained letter press books, letter files, various bll's against Captain Carter, checks, bank books, a list of which he made. The contents of the box hare since been in bis custody. The list of the contents was Identified by the witness. It showed a lsrge number of checks for money drawn In Carter's -name for personal, ex- Senses.

The list was marked for identl-catlon." The list of -personal expenses showed that Captain Carter's expenses increased from IKS when they were little more than $4000 In jumps each year until 1898, when tbey were nearly $39,000. After the witness 1 had finished, Mr. eterUag was recalled and simply testified to certain trips from Savannah by Captain Carter. Mr. Erwln then recalled Captain Gril-ette.

Captain Carter's successor. His testimony was-of a purely -technical nature, pertaining to regulations of. the United Staites in the matter of river and hertoor improvements. The government then closed Its case. The hearing will be resumed Sept.

Government Without Consent of the Governed.

Mr. Bryan's speech st Indianapolis, Aug. 8, limits Itself mainly to the question of "Republic versus Empire." He arraigns the Republican party for subserviency to the money power, and claims that the Democratic party- Is In favor of equal rights for says the Boston Woman's Journal. He says: "Our platform Is American. It was constructed by Americans for Americans, native and foreign born.

It is Democratic, and all who love liberty and despise tyranny can stand upon It and support Its nominees. You are by all real Americans regarded as the best exponent of the faith of our fathers, which was articled In the declaration of independence and sealed by the blood of patriots. We deny that that declaration Is a back number. We solemnly affirm that toy the faithful It Is yet venerated as the grandest charter of human rights and human liberty ever devised, by man. The lust of greed and power preaches contempt for Its superb doctrine, but we hold It as the only guiding star by which our ship of state can be safely sailed.

We know that It has served our purpose well and gloriously until of late, when another star the star of imperialism, has beea selected as the guide of our course." These are brave words, and stir the blood, continues the Journal. But this apostle of liberty makes no mention of fourteen million American women taxed without representation and governed without consent. Women and Music Under this caption a writer Jn the London Musical News claims that women, despite their "emotional nature, can never equal men in musical art. They may Interpret well, both vocally and lastra-mentally, but "as producers, ss composers, they have done nothing beyond second-heat, and not much of that." "For some reason not yet understood," he adds, "the feminine nature has never yet produced a Beethoven as hat never yet produced a Shakspeare. No true woman will think of contradicting this assertion; It is a matter of fact, not controversy-: Their warmest admirers would hardly care to instance Fanny Hensel, Satnton-Dolby.

Virginia Gabriel, Mrs. Bartholomew. Miss Alice M. Smith, or Mis Rosalind Ellicott. as really great composers.

They have done good and useful work, not to be despised or underrated: but where is the female Mascagnl or Dvorak, or Tchaikowsky. or Coleridge-Taylor? As Imitators of men In music. It must be recognized that women have failed; this does not prove that they are doomed to failure. It Is useless to theorise about difference between man's and woman's nature. Science has not yet been able to explain any difference beyond a one, and how far that operates the domain of Intellectual creation can only be Judged by facts, not by dogmatising or theorizing.

It is easy to suggest that wsman falls In the highest branches of imaginative work; It Is not easy to account for her success In prose fiction and her complete failure In musical production." A Woman's Colleare In the Bible. "There ought to be about fifty women police on the New York city force," said Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in conversation the other day, says the Saturday Evening Post. "They ought to be of discreet age, and a principal part of their duties should be the looking out for young girls coming to the city ss strangers. And some of them ought to patrol the streets at night, to look after women going home from work or the theatres." Mrs.

Stanton, now rounding out a long life of leadership, la one of the most picturesque figures in Her Ideas are Incisive and clear-cut. "Besides women police there ought to be women street cleaners, too. See what an army of white uniformed men we have In this city I And how picturesque it would be to have some of the force women!" Then came an addition that showed that Mrs. Stanton, although well past tine eighty ysars' mark, and a radical leader for women's reforms, Is a delightfully feminine as ever. "They could dress In bloomers, and they could wear red feathers in their caps, and they could have red handles on their brooms!" she cried.

Mrs. Stanton does not like the idea that woman brought sin Into the world. "Why, the Bible itself says that the serpent was always there!" she exclaimed. "But did you notice what a high idea the serpent toad woman's rateHectr" she added, with a twinkle In her eyes. "He did not try-to tempt her with Jewels or dresses or pleasures, but by arousing In her mind a strong thirst for knowledge.

After that the aim pie pleasure of talking with Adam was not enough." Mrs. Stanton lei la of asking a wealthy woman to, give a part ef- her wealth to" endow a woman's college, snd of ths woman's prim refusal on the ground that nowhere does the Bible recognize a woman's college. "And so I reminded her, says Mrs. Stankon, "of the- Prophetess Hnldan, who, when the king wanted her, was found In the college. Then, Jn reply to a further question with, a regretful ghost of a smile "she gave $30,000 to- a man's college instead after alL" Mrs.

Stanton says that when she was girl her father told her and her sisters that -whenever they went anywhere, under the escort of young men, must pay their own share of whatever expense was incurred. This, he told them, was for two reasons. One was that the most desirable young men were sometimes deterred from offering -their escort ww j- BiMetw- marble, a-brac and you'll get through any cleaning- job in the shortest time, and with the least labor and fuss.
