Notes.
Washington. Oct. 1 The presi ieut
bus commuted to imprisonment for life
the death sentenced imposed on Clyde
Mattox of Oklahoma, who was to have
been hanged on the 11th Instant This
is the ease which the prisoner’s mother
after appealing personally to the presi-
dent, secured a letter assuring her that
the death sentence would not he car-
ried out
Mattox was convicted of killing an
old colored man. John Mullen, who
was seeking to protect two colored
girls lit; was convicted and sentenced
to he hanged in Kansas in 1891, gained
anew trial from the United States su-
preme conn, and after two more trials
was again convicted and resenteneed
i o dent h March 23, 1891.
Another appeal was taken to the
United States supreme court, and this
lime the judgment was ailirmed and
• be convict was sentenced to be hanged
October 11 of this year. As a last re-
• toi in this case, remarkable for the
number of times the man was sentenced
to death, an appeal was made to the
pres it tent, w ho after long consideration
has just commuted the sentence, as
a iovh staled.
In his endorsement the president
says: *It is wit h much hesitation tha t
I cun show any measure of clemency
in this ease, inasmuch as 1 do not re-
gal'd this convict as entitled to any
sympathy because of bis former life or
testimony taken on his trial 1 have
concluded however, after an anxious
and perplexing consideration of all the
facts presented to me, to save the con-
vict from the death awaiting him un-
der the sentence of the court ami at
the same time to effectively protect so
ciety in the future against his vicious
propensities t»v direciihg his imprisoti
ment during his life.
"1 am constrained to this course
solely because I cannot shut out the
fear lluit certain testimony offered up
on his trial and excluded by the court
and which a strong minority of th • su-

AWFUL EXPLOSION
A Mistake in Signals Results In Six
Deaths.
Independence, Kan., Oct. 1.—An
accident caused by the peruiature ex-

died shortly after being taken from tin*
mass of stone and debris which pin-
ioned his body.
I’he scene of the explosion beggared
jdescription. Blood stained rocks,
I mangled horses, broken carts, crushed
like egg shells under tons of rock, all
told of the fearful work of giant pow-
der.

It is to be found in the rich dirt that

up millions of yellow nuggets that re

(;i divorce from four wivus. Yuliow-
B on nut ^ives his reason h for such a
sweeping divorce that he has euibrncod

have refused to beconn* ehiistiau>
He asks I , custody of but on ; of nine-
teen children. It was at first thoug.it
it was not necessary to ask for ;• «*i-
voice, as the laws of Oklalionm forhid
polygamy. A few lawyers held that as
Ik; was married to four wives under the
tribal laws, recognized partly by the
governmeut and before tlm law.* of Ok-
lahoma existed he could not get separ-
ation except by process of the laws
now prevailing. This opinion finally!
prevailed. There is some question
whether the four divoiv *s can!be made
in one, but that is a question the court
must pass on. Thu wives will only
consent to a blanket divorce for they
are afraid to allow the eases to he tak-
en up seperatedj for fear Bonnot after
getting rid of three he would keep the
fourth. As there is intense jealousy
existing among them the attorney.!
could not pursuude them to consent to
single suits. Judge M* Atc:a will he,,*
