HIRES COMPANY, Philadelphia, Pa. FLED TO AVOID ARREST Ex-Judge Mackey, Formerly of This City, Olaimed by Two Wives. It is Alleged That He Bigamously Married Miss Katherine Porter- field, Who Resided Here. A tch from New York city. states that ex-Judge Thomas Jefferson Mackey, fermerly of this city, has brought misery into the lives of two young women, and beth are erying for vengeance and his punishment for alleged bigamy. His ppes- w beuts are unknown. He was last heard from in Pittsburg, Pa. Ex-Judge Mackey is a native of Char- leston, t in that section. He was . was graduated from a south- d law with his father, tted to the bar in Charles- ern. college, was adi in 1851. Was ton in 1855 appointed a supreme He was married to a south- it is sald, was Beck- whose name, Their children were ford 3 appointed United Sta y in Brazil, and was bret y by killing an edi- tor ater, who had P Argyle Mackey, a Pl mmitted sui- e years ago; T Crandalt Mackey. Judge Mackey, after his retirement from the bench, continued the practice of law in Columbia and Washington. He was one ef the lawyers who defended General Hazen in the famous trial by court-mar- His First Wife's Divorce. After ex-Judge Mackey was established in Washington rumors reacher the ears of Mrs. Mackey. She had an investigation made, and the result was that she secured @ divorce on June 22, 1889, on the statu- tory ground. He then went to New York city and opened a law office in Chambers street, near Broadway. Most of the money Mackey bad mage in the law business he lost, it is said, Speculating in stocks. He Miss Sarah Lenore Curtis, the daugh- ter of.ex-Judge Curtis, a wealthy man, who lives at Stamford, Conn. He pro-, pesed marriage. He was then sixty-one, at his last birthday, and she was only Her parents reluctantly gave their to the union, and the ex-judge the ex-ju "s pretty daughter were ‘ . Paul's Meth- Church, 308 East 55th Episcopal nd his father was promi- | street, by the Rev. George H. McGrew. Ev-Judge Curtis gave his daughter $1,000 for a wedding present. Mrs. Mackey had suyposed her husband was wealthy enough to give her a home as good as the one she gave up, but she soon found out that he was practically penniless. He decided to go to Europe on the honeymoon trip, and spent the $1,000 in the old country. When y returned they went to housekeeping at 368 West 116th street. The ex-judge was for a time devoted to his wife. Mrs. Mackey had a little fortune of her own, and her husband borrowed money from her regularly. Left His Second Wife. On June 8 last Mackey told his wife that he was going to Washington to attend to an important case and would be absent for a long time. During her absence he packed up all his clothing and she says he also drew about $4,000 of her money. Acting upon the advice of her father and Lawyer John B. Fiske of 52 Wall street, she ob- tained a warrant for the arrest of her hu: band on the charge of abandonment. A de-, tective was detailed to serve the warrant. The ex-judge, though in seclusion, was idle. Last spring, while in Washington, | he met Miss Katherine Porterfield, a beau- tiful young woman. She was living tem- porarily with Mrs. Loring, who. keeps a boarding house. Mackey made love to Miss Porterfield. He told her he had been a widower for years, and before he returned to his home she ‘had promised to marry him, if her parents consented. The ex- judge saw Col. George A. Porterfield, | cashier of the Bank of Charlestown, W. Va., the father of the flancee, and’ ob- tained his consent to the marriage. On July 19 Mackey and Miss Porterfield were married in Col. Porterfield’s home by the Rev. A. C. Hopkins. In the evening the ex- judge and his bride started for Washing- ton. He told Col. Porterfield that theres| was a woman fn New York who would at- tempt to blackmail,him if the marriage be- came known at that time. They Came Here. The ex-judge and his wife spent two days in Washington and then he took her to Plainfield, N. J. On Saturday, July 23, he called upon Mrs. Mackey No. 1 at her home. She tried to communicate with the detective who had the warrant, but was unable to do so. Mackey said that he had been kept away by urgent business, but he agreed to meet his wife at her home the | next day. The ex-judge came at the appointed time and was arrested. He was taken to the Harlem police court and was held for ex- amination on the charge of abandonment. He followed Mrs. Mackey to her home and made this confession to his wife: “I mar- ried Miss Katherine Porterfield,” said he, “on July 19. I did so against my will.” Mrs. Mackey, after consulting with Law- yer Fiske, decided to give up the aban- donment proceedings and start a suit for divorce. She learned that it was her hus- band’s intention to forfeit his bail bond and go to Europe with his bride, and she was surprised last Wednesday by the following telegram from her husband: “Pittsburg, Pa.—Mrs. Mackey, 226 West 114th street. Left to avoid unjust arrest; am alone; will return to you if you will stand by me. Will you? Answer, paid here. THOMAS.” It is said that after Mackey had failed to get his wife to condone his offense he de- serted Mrs. Mackey No, 2 in Jersey City and she returned to her father's home. It was learned there that the old ex-judge had two wives living, and the warrant, which he refers to,in his telegram, is one obtained for his arrest upon the complaint of Mrs. Mackey No. 2, in the south. Col. Porterfield’s sons, it is said, have de- elared they will take the law into their own hands. Lawyer Fiske is collecting the evidence and will file a petition for divorce as soon as possible. Mrs. Mackey No. 1 is in comfortable circumstances. ‘After she gets a divorce she will return to her fa- ther’s home in Stamford. -+0e CUBANS CAPTURE GIBARA. Luque and 1,800 Spanish Troops Es- cape to Holguin. The gunboat Nashville reached Gibara, in Cuba, on Tuesday last, when she cap- tured the schooners Gibara and Express. On entering the harbor she was met by the former United States consular agent and the president of the railroad line to Hol- guin. He told the Americans of the evacu- ation of Gibara two days before by Gen. Luque and his 1,800 Spanish troops, who feared a concerted attack by Americans and Cubans. They fled to Holguin by rail and afterward tore up the tracks. Gen. Luque left in the Gibara hospital 586 sick and wounded Spanish soldiers, with a request to Admiral Sampson to see that they were properly cared for. The next day the Cuban forces, consist- ing of 500 cavalry, under Lieut. Col. Rojas, and 200 infantry, made a*triumphal entry into the town. They were received with acclamations by the Cubans and the town held a festival that day and night. The in- surgents took formal possession, establish- ed a police system and sent out seouting parties, and when the Nashville arrived the best of order was being maintained. The invaders had, however, neglected the schooners in the harbor, and the American ships took possession of them. When Ensign Snow left with a crew to bring a prize ship from Gibara to Key West it had been practically determined to raise the American flag over the town. At that time only Red Cross Society and Cuban flags were flying, and there was some ques- tion as to whether dissension might’ not arise between the Americans and Cubans in consequence of the Garcia-Shafter incident. In such case Capt. Maynard was resolved to seize and hold the place. On the way to Key West the prize schoon- er passed an unknown man-of-war, flying no colors, but by her build apparently French. This was about sixty miles off Lobos Key, and the warship was heading to the eastward. She sighted the schooner and turned in her direction, but afterward changed her course again and proceeded.

Some few are cases df'infermittent or other fever which may de¥elop into typhoid, but the gfeatest number. are men whose ail- ment has been diagnosedas ‘continued high temperature.” Of the’ men sent to Fort Myer as suspected cases, three have been returned to Camp Algervfor duty with their respective companies!< Theothers are now entered as typhoid pattents or are still re- garded as suspects.. The total number of patients under treatment-for confirmed ty- phoid fever, exclusive of those sent over toady, is given by the Fort Myer authori- ties as 168. There is little disposition among the sur- geons on duty here to discuss the matter. so much has been said already, they think, of the mistakes of the medical department that it is not wise to discuss the subject further. Most of them are personally firm- ly convinced that the location of the camp is unhealthy, and they applaud Gen. But- ler’s independence in moving his troops without further ado. It is impossible for them to speak freely, even among them- selves, without becoming exposed to charges of insubordination. ~ Practice March Abandoned. The plan for the corps’ practice march and review announced in The Star of Sat- urday has been changed. As now under- stood the Secretary of War will come out to Camp Alger and review the troops Au- gust 13. Prior to this review the corps will be marched into Washington and pass- ed in review ct the White House. As yet no date for the march into Washington aas been determined upon. Col. Lusk and Col. Eégerly of Gen. Graham's staff are now engaged In completing the details. Sentences were published today as fol- lows: Privates James Feeny, Company A, 7th Mlinois, and Rcbert Schultz, Company M, 8d Missouri, to imprisonment for five months at hard labor for disobedience of orders and absence without leave. The men named are to be taken to Fort Co- lumbus, Governor's Islard, and will leave this afternoon unde: guard. ————— For Reassignment of Mortgage. Leopold Peck, through his attorney, J. J.

Everything is looking well.” Four aspirants for congressional honors are contesting Mr. Babcock’s renomina- tion. The past week was an important one in the fight, as several primary caucuses were held, which were carried, as stated in the telegram by Mr, Babcock. : SO Mrs. Porter's Return.

Timmonds. These men will be paid for service actually rendered up to the date of the receipt of this order, and will be furnished with transportation to the places where they were enrolled. —E——_— THE LAKE CITY OUTRAGE. Efforts Claimed as Being Made to Defeat the Ends of Justice. A determined effort is being made at Lake City, S. C., so the post office officials learn, to defeat the ends of justice in avenging the outrage there of a few months ago. It will be recalled the colored post- master at that place was killed, together with his child, and his wife and baby in arms were also wounded. The post office, where the postmaster resided, was burned to the ground, When the news reached Washington a Post office inspector was immediately sent to investigate the case. The President him- self evinced the greatest interest in the matter, and discussed ways and means with his cabinet to bring the guilty to jus- tice. Neither time nor expense was to be spared, and for some time the secret agents of the government were hard at work fer- reting out the criminals. As a result of their labors some ten or twelve men were arrested and sent to jail without bail, and it was confidently expected that justice would be meted out to the guilty ones. Word has recently been received, how- ever, that all the men arrested have been admitted to bail, an unheard-of proceeding, it is claimed. The defense is working with all kinds of tricks to ®reak up the damag- ing testimony of the government. As an instance of the means employed, it is re- ported that the principal witness for the government has been arrested on a trumped-up charge of larceny and convict- ed. He is now serving a term of imprison- ment in the county workhouse. The officials claim he is innocent, and that the arrest and conviction were merely for the purpose of damaging his testimony. The other wit- nesses, it is said, are being hounded and threatened. —_———_-e-+—_______ MORE FLAGS FOR PORTO RICO. The People Pleased With the Ameri- can Invasion. Secretary Alger received the following dispatch from Gen. Miles last night: PONCE, Porto Rico, July 31, '98, 3:35 p.m. Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. Four telegrams received and answered by letter. Volunteers are surrendering themselves with arms and ammunition. Four-fifths of the people are overjoyed at the arrival of the ermy. Two thousand from one place volunteered to serve with it. They are bringing in transportation, beef, cattle and other needed supplies. The custom house has already yielded $14,000. As soon as all the troops are disembarked they will be in readness to move. Please send any national colors that can be spared to be given to the different mu- nicipalities. I request that the question of the tariff rate to be charged in the parts of Porto Rico occupied by our forces be submitted to the President for his action, the previous- ty existing tariff remaining meanwhile in force. As to the government and military occu- pation, I have already given instructions besed upon the instructions issued by the President in the case of the Philippine Is- lands and similar to those issued at Santi- ago de Cuba. MILES, Major General, Commanding. The War Department has arranged to send an entire army division to reinforce Gen. Miles at Porto Rico in case of neces- sity. It will be known as the provisional division and will be commanded by Maj. Gen. Wade, at present in command at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga. He is ordered to turn over that command to Maj. Gen. Breckinridge, inspector general of the army. The provisional division will consist of fif- teen full regiments, and Gen. Wade will select them, not from the troops under his present command alone, but with particu- lar reference to an equitable representation in the Porto Rican campaign of all of the states of the Union. —__o—_______ SPANISH TO BE PROTECTED. Residents of Santingo Have Been Reassured. The Spanish residents at Santiago, Cuba, have been led to believe that Shafter’s army is to be ordered away from Santiago, after the Spanish troops now prisoners have been transported to Spain. This has given rise to a fear in their minds that they ere tc be left to the mercy of the Cubans. If they feared the occupation of Santiago ty the American army they are now doubly fear- ful of the results of its departure. Appeals have becu made to Gen. Shafter not to withdraw the American forces from San- tlago and he has communicated these ap- peals to the war officials. Assurances have been given to the people of Santiago by the ‘War De} nt through Gen. Shafter that this government will stand squarely by the terms of the President’s proclamation rela- tive to the government of the city and Province. A permanent military garrison for Santi- ago, consisting of the 1st and 2d Immune Regiments, has been provided, and it will remain there even if Gen. Shafter’s corps should be withdrawn. These facts have been communicated to the Spanish resi- dents of the city and have tended to allay their fears. : ——————_—_—_+2-—____ Cutting Down Auxiliary Navy.
