'.'"' ^0 His ARREST ON A WARRANT ISSI IN COLUMBIA-How THE Ex-Go Er NOR BORE HIS CAPTURE-A. 0-JONES AND C. W. MONTGOM ERY WANTED, BUT MISSING. Yesterday Trial Justice Cbisolm ceived from the attorney-general w rants for the ar:est of F. J. Mot - Jr., formerly Governor of this Sta A. 0. Jones, ex-clerk of the Hoi of Representatives, and Col. C. Montgomery. The warrants had be prepared by Mr. J. Q. Marshal], trial justice in Columbia, who sent '. constable down with them to Att ney-General Conner for his direct ic The f ttorney-general at once turn over the warrants to Trial Just Chisoim, who proceeded to take me: ure? to capture the three perso named in them. Mr. Marshall's cc stable instituted an unsuccessful sear at their residences and ha' ''ts duri: ~ the morning, and about 1 y clock t aid of the chief of police was invo ed. Capt. Hendricks turned over tl warrant for ex-Governor Moses an Jones to Detective Coates, at the san time instructing Lieut. Ciaussen, ar. others of the detective force, to be< the lookout. Detectives Coates at Nipson at once proceeded to the Cour house building, but found neither their men there; after which thc went down the street to look after ai other case which required attentio; Upon their return to the Guardhous in about three-quarters of an hou they again went forth in quest < Moses and Jones. They boarded ?King street car, and went upon th front platform, where they had nc been more than a few moments befor they saw the ex-Governor comin leisurely down 'the south side c Queen street, justin front of the Mill House, followed at some little dis tance by Detective Ciaussen. Th officers immediately disembarked am ruede for their man, encountering hie just as he oaa turning the corner Detective Coates immediately drev out the warrant, and walked to hi; .side, informing him, in a low voice what it was for. Ile was evident!' prepared for the receipt of tho intel ligence, having teen, as was after wards discovered, already taken ir charge by detective Ciaussen, whe had encountered him on King street Ile glanced at the document whicl Mr..Coates held, nodded slightly, ami ?aid "AM right." The whole thing was done so quietly, that although many persons were on the street al the time no one imagined that an ar - rest was being made, except the de tectives, the prisoner, and ? Reporter of the News and Courier who was in the secret and on hand. The three officers fell some t wenty paces behind, aud pursued their way, with that ap pearance of total indifference and lack of knowledge of the existence of the party in front which detectives al tvavs assume under such circumstanc es. The ex-Governor walked care ii'.".sly along, swinging his umbrella and .'coking as little as possible like a man who is a prisoner in the meshes of the law, and whose captors were only a few feet behind him. The whole quartette strolled down to wards the Guardhouse, bearing them Helves aa idlers, at peace with them selves and the world. The prisoner crossed Meeting street, at the corner of Broad, and walked into the de tective office with the bearing of a jnan who was just "dropping in" out of curiosity or to pass away an extra moment or two. He was fellowed by Lieut. Ciaussen, while Detect! ves Nip pon and Coates went over to the Guardhouse and notified Capt. Hen dricks of the capture. Detect:ve Coates was instructed to bring his prisoner over, which he did, ex Gov. Moses crossing the street with the same listless, careless air that he had borne before. As he got into the Guardhouse he looked grave and we I ried; bub there was no signs of frig or excitement about him. Ile spo to the chief and one or twu othe j who were present, and then look ? around him with an inquiring face, if*mutely questioning as to his d posai. He was invited into the v cant Mayor'B Court room, where . took a seat in the clerk's chair, ai taking the warrant perused it cai fully, pulling off his hat and rub ii his iron-gray hair back from his for head as if to cool his head. In few minutes two or three of the fe friends who have stuck to him in h misfortunes came in, and a consult tion seemed to be held in a low toi among them, the doors of the roo beiug closed. In a short time the: visitors withdrew, after sending fi Trial Justice Chisolm. Upon the a lival of Mr. Chisolm it was dete mined to allow Mr. Marshall's coi stable to take his prisoner to Colun bia last Dight, Capt. Hendricks ha* ing charge of him in the meantim The ex-Governor was invitedupstaij into Capt. Hendricks' room, where L was made as comfortable as possit! various persons around the Guare house dropping in now and then t talk with him. He WuS visited abbi 0 o'clock by the Reporter for \h News and Courier to whom his eas had been specially committed, bu declined submitting to an interview He said, however, in effect, in th course of conversation, that he liai been expecting this arrest for som time. He had remained here on pur pose to meet it, instead of goingawa; as he might easily have done. H would not go so far as to sav that h was glad of it, but he would say tba he would court an investigation. H felt confident that it would reliev him of much of the odium attaching to him. "Governor, this will give you i good chance, and a welcome one, t; g-1 a slap at some of the fellows wh< licked your boots while you .. ?re up and want to kick the life out of yoi now, won't it?" asked thc Rep?rtel as he rose to leave. " That will be ' the prisouer, sig And that was all in the case of J fir mat i on was give that too many coo Several detectives constable got? to ! somebody let out W Jones suddenly disap . - nvm tne streets, where he had been seen sev eral times buring the morning, and when detectives Nipson and Coates had got to work, the bird had got wind of the trouble, and had either flown or was hiding very low, for up to half-past 9 o'clock last night all efforts to find him had failed. It was believed by the officers that he was concealed in bis house, the gate of which was locked, and to which they were refused admission. No trouble is anticipated in effect ing Col. lontgomery's arrest, al though he was not at his hotel when called for yesterday morning. It was intended to have carried the prisoners, er so many of them as could be found, to Columbia last night, but the constable became intoxicated aud was unable to leave. The party will, however, Etart for Columbia carly this morning. The following is the affidavit which accompanied the warrant: STATE OF SOUTH JAEOLINA, ) COUNTY OF RICHLAND, J Personally appeared before me, J. Q. Marshall, a trial justice of said county and State, John R. Cochran, who being duly sworn, says: That under a joint resolution of the General Assembly passed on the 9th day of June. 1877, a joint com mittee was appointed to invest?gale and ascertain whether any improper or illegal use has been made of the public funds "and credit of the State, and by whom, and to cause legal pro ceedings to be instituted against all persons implicated in the same.

JOHN R. CCCHKAN. Sworn to before me this 20th day of July, 1S77. J. Q.. MARSHALL. From (lie News and Dourer. The Last Act of thc Draiaa. The curtain is rising on the last act of the Drama of Reconstruction in South Carolina. Whittemore, the Cadetship peddler, is a lugitive from justice; the whereabouts of Leslie, of Land Commission fame, are not known ; ox-Treasurer Parker is in a convenient hiding-place, and his suc cessor, Cardozo, has been bound over for trial at thc next tenn of the Court of General Sessions in Columbia; ex Guvernor Mns;c and ex-Speaker Lee (colored) .rere arrested yesterday. Ami this i .;. '. tho end ! Other ar rests are coming; other warrants ha Co tl?. a?, wi di. wi bo sti TL. ' ?fejatahlr; ;1.y Lint ; Resolution approved February 9. 1875, appropriated $21,679 35 for the payment ot the account of ihomas W. PJ icc & Co., of Philadelphia, for printing tax returns, &c, for the State. Of this amount $S,971 50 were to be paid out of the taxes of the fiscal year 1S74-75. With this amount we have nothing, at present, to do. The balance of the account, $12 704 85, w.th interest at tho rate ol 7 per cent, per annum, was ordered tobe "paid out of the taxes to be collected foi the fiscal year commencing November 1, 1875." At the time of the approval of the Joint Resolution these taxes of 1S75 '76 had not been collected or levi They were levied by the Act to rai supplies,, approved December 1S75 ; but this Act levies taxes for specific pursoses, as one mill for sala ry and contingents, two mills for schcols, half a mill printing; &c. T^J tax was levied to pay the accouot of T. W. Price & Co., and the County Auditors and Treasurers were ex pressly forbidden to collect any tax for the fiscal year; other than those specified, unless expressly authorized by law so do. Every cent, of the year commencing November 1, 1875, was by the Act specifically appropri ated to purposes other than the pay ment of Price & Co., and it'was pro vided that "any State- or County., "officer who shall f directly or indirectly, temporarily or permanent ly, divert or embezzle the proceeds of the taxes levied or collected for any specific purpose * * * shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and upon convic tion thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than one thousand dollars, noi more than five thousand dollars, and be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for a period of not less than one year, nor more than five years." Nevertheless, in Marcb, 1870: three or four months after the pessagfe. of tho Act containing these'TprorTSw ions, Cardozo paid the account of Price & Co., amounting to $15,810 out of the taxes of 1875-70, thus diverting the proceeds of the taxes and clearly incurring the penalty o? fine and imprisonment provided by the Act of December 22, 1S75. Nor did he pay this sum out of the pro ceeds of any one specific tax. He appears to have paid it out of tbe proceeds of seven or eight different specific taxes and violated the law and incurred the penalty in each and every case, so that a fine of from $S.000 to $40,000 and imprisonment for from eight to forty years await him upon conviction. The bail re quired.of Cardozo was $20,000, and he has absconded. The stoiy is that he only wants to avoid repeated ar rest on different charge?, and that he Wy in raising tue Committee oi in vestigation was to ascertain who had defrauded thc State, and to institut* proceedings against the culprits. It plain, therefore, thatthe Committee cannot take too wide a range, or del ve too d?'ep. They have au onerous duly to discharge, and it is confidently be lieved that they will be no respecter of persons, but will give the culprits simple justice and nothing more. The people are not vindictive; but insist that every rascal whose crimes can be discovered shall be arrested and tried in these days o? reckoning. The New EccaleobioH. How MACH IKE--M A PF. HENS ARE PREPARED FORA HUNGRY WORLD. [New York World.] The New York train stops for a mo ment at Cresskill-on-the-Hudson, a pretty little village sixteen miles from Jersey City, at the westerly foot of the Palisades. A few white houses, halt, hidden by trees, can be seen from the station standing near the square form ed by the meeting of cross roads. Th< ugh it is midday nobody is in sight on the quiet street and no wagon of any sort is at the station. Buta little search finds a neat spring wagon, ami behold a World reporter tumbling up a muddy hillside road in search of the Eccaleobion-or, in the vernacu lar, Mr. Baker's chicken hatching farm. Mr. Bilker's poultry farm, thus as they say of other seminaries-eligi bly and healthfully situated, is at present so complete and extensive that only a general idea of it can be given within the limits of a newspaper arti cle. A few pigeons were picking up corn at the foot of the trees which bordered the path leading to the main building, as the artificial hatch ing-house may be called. This is a two and a half story building, connect ed directly with a great "brooding mainly by the incubating apartment and the chambers connected with it. Mounting the stairs which lead to thc second lloor, the reporter came to a chamber on one side of which rows ol electric jars were ranged, and on the other a long iron case, resting on the floor and holding a number of shallow drawers filled with eggs. Beneath the case two large gas jets were burn ing, and the eggs were being gradual ly hf ut ed as the hot air rose through the wire netting which formed the bottom of the pans or drawers. A dtft-fingered woman was taking the drawers pi eggs out ol' (Le case and carrying tie ru into the wain incubat jn?chamber. ^j^/*it a few iuoiuenis," she said, (.l?iPd?! will show you how we batch' ou t tb e chick eus. ' After several draw -erssf eggs bad been hastily .shifted into like drawers i:i thc main apart ment she professed herself ready to begin. , "Here are the boxes of eggs, just as they are brought from the de pot, for though we have more than two thousand fowls ort the farm they do not furnish a tenth of the eggs which we use. Now come and I will show you how we test the eggs, which are sent to us from all quarters, to see if they-are vitalized." She led ?t?ieway to another chamber opening off the main room, which was so ar? ""Singed as to be darkened at will, like thc closet of a photographer. A sin .gleuArgaud lamp was burning in the darkness, sending its light through an egg*shaped opening in a dark metalic shade. A heap of eggs lay on a shelf j in the closet, and taking up one she placed it in the opening. Instantly the egg was turned in color to a brill iant red, the strong light piercing thr.ough it and revealing every part. She turned the egg round slowly, and a small dark spot was seen close to theshell. "Yes, th it egg is good," .slvj?d, " for your can see the dark |H^fiii^ all;eggs without this mark we. rio not try to hatch out, for we ? * . . krioy they have not been vitalized. Thei bringing egg after egg from dif f?rent drawers in the incubating room in various stages of development, she showed with the brilliant light how the black point grow larger and larger until.it assumed a weil defined form, put oil legs anu wings and head, and lay within its covering of shell a per fect picken. Even when the egg had only been incubated a few days, the tiny creature within would move itself to and fro as if disliking the un wonted light and heat. One, a tritio older, bobbed its little head, actually turning in the surrounding 'i 'lid. "New come into the ir i .tn and I will show you the p . of hatch ing." ? The incubating aiment is about twenty feet squaiv, protect.d by doub : 5-- nu J containing steady heat i rum ._ in the tray beneath. The gas for heating I be water is manufactured by i huge machine in thc basement. Burning gas ii eta beneath each incuba tor heat ?he water in thc pipes, and by an nu tom die arrangement, when ever thc heat rises above a lixed point, the supply ol' gas is diminished, the jets born le s brightly, and the wa ter in the pipes is allowed to cool to the desired point. When that point is reached the supply of gas is restored* and the heating process goes on as before. An electric battery commu nicates with the incubators, and any undue variation of heat is announced to the attendants through indicators. Wileri the eggs ure ne;?r the point of hitching fae animal heat evolved from them is so considerable that the temperature of the air in the drawers is sleeted materially. As even sligut vairations of temperature are injurious jo die, eggs, it is sometimes necessary, in spite of the automatic arrangement for regulating the heat, to take out tho drawers and allow the eggs to cool; and this is done by an attend ant on the striking of an electric bell connected with each case. The cases are numbered, and the number of the superheated case is shown by an indicator on the wall of an adjoining room. When the reporter was in the room the bells were ringing quite vigorous ly, and the woman in charge was fre quently ob'iged to stop her explana tion in order to pull out the trays. White, brown and mottled eggs lay side by side in the drawers, and the attendant showed how, under the equable heat, of from 100 deg., to 110 deg., the chicks were gradually form ed. Upon breaking a young egg an oblong body was seen floating in the liquid, and showing in its centre a little piston-shaped heart, which kept on beating with the regularity of a UtU'riug au incessant x eep, peejj. The sharp cries of the newly-born chickens from the different trays made an indescribable noiso in the room, but tho attendant seemed used to their complainings, and let them stay in the trays lill they became well dried and comfortable in the hot air. After their confinement of twenty-one days in the incubator the chicks are taken down Etairs and placed in the brooding house below. A room ad joining ibu main apartment contains other incubators, and Mr. Baker ex pects, with these and tho additional cas?e which he is now making, to li?t gm: TL ana : 53 inti eac cas.ly . ?n*? ;)Hm< ?Q .: . all uitZsi U.U lUC Ll LUV, _ actually in them made noise enough for those of thc 5,000 who were miss ing. Black chicks and brown, white chicks and shiped, mottled chicks and chicks of every color known to the chicken world were scampering up and down in the pens, and run ning out from under the patent "hen mother" with which each pen is fur nished. The hen mother is a ho'low zinc box with sloping top, which is filled with hot water and placed a few inches above the-ground. The under side of the box is lined with blanketing, and the chicks creep un? der it at night when they feel the need of extra warmth. The brood ing house is heated by steam, but the temperature varies somewhat, and tender chicks are very seusitive to cold. A bright boy of thirteen, the son of the professional florist employ ed by Mr. Baker, has at present the care of the chicks in the brooding house. He prepares their food, feeds it to them and trains them up the way ikey should go after they come down from the hatching room. At his suggestion the?reporter went along with him to see the chickens fed, an operation which has to be gone through with every hour and a half during the day. As the boy entered the door of the long room, the chickens along the whole line flocked to the bars and gaped greedily at the de'p earthenware bowl he carried. A handful of food thrown in each coop was >oou picked up, and they held out their bills, like Oliver Twist, for more. The boy was firm in refusing their outspoken request, however, and they gaped and peeped to no purpose. Near one of the middle coops he stopped a minute, set down his dish and made a sudden dive into the compartment. A weak looking chickeu was lying on the floor with its head between two bars of the coop. Picking it up, with a quick pressure between his thumb and forefinger he In this coop a number of demoral ized young fowls were stalking de jectedly about. Their legs were weak and their feathers were thiu, ami they stared at tho meal which was flung into the coop as if they would much prefer to be fed with a spoon. ' Do you see that trap?" said the boy, calling thc reporter's attention to a curious-looking box which stood near the middle of theroom. "There's where we catch rats and weasels. It works Ly electricity. See! Suppose we put a chickeu in this little cage over the box. Well, a weasel comes along, and he gets ou the box and he scratches" at the cage. As soon as he touche' .'-e wires down goes the to^i ol' the bcx aud drops the weasel into it. Then thc top flies up and the trap is sat again. So we can catch as many weasels a night as try to get at the chicken." The trap was in genious but simple i nits construction, and there is no doubt of the effect iveness of it J working. From this building the attendant led the way to the cramming or forc ing house near by. This is a wooden building one hundred and twenty? five feet wide. Unlike the other buildings, it is lighted by small rather than large windows, for in the pro cess of fattening the fowls darkness and coolnes? have been found essen tial. The mode of forcing is similar to that in nse in France, but is an im provement upon the French method in many of its details. Within the house eight upright cylinders occupy the greater part or the space from end to end. These cylinders are made of wood, and each conrains five tiers of small boxes, pigeon hole bhaped. There are 210 boxes, accom modating the same number of fe wis, in each cylinder, so that 1,680 pullets can be fattened atone time if desired. nna fow).

The cylinders are constructed to revolve easily on their axes, so that any box in the circle can readily be brought to thc front as required. The feeding machino consists essentially ol' a foi ce pump, a tub containing boiled mashed food and a flexible tube. Tho machino is wheeled in frort of a cyl inder, and the atte idant feeder takes each fowl in turn by the head, thrusts a pipe loading from the machine into its gullet, gives one stroke with the force pump, and presto I the hen's' crop is full. The cylinder !s revolved | till all tho fowls are crammed? and ...mc taegci.-i.fc o? strasburg, their general health does not seeni to sulier for the sake ol' their livers, but they clothe thcm.-el ves with solid, juicy flesh. Even old fowls are by this means rendered tender and pal atable, and'seem to renew their youth upon thc mashed elixir of life. The forcing house is now being enlarged, and Mr. Baker expects to bc able to force nearly 50,000 fowls, another season, for the market. Thecrammed fowls, and the fowls which nre fed by the ordinary process, are taken to the killing room when they have come to a suitable age and weight. There they are prepared for market, and either sent olf immediately or stored temporarily in thc ice house. Mr. Baker has found no difficulty iu dis posing of as many fowls as he has been able to raise, but he has not been* able of late to obtain as many eggs as he would like. iJe pays a hand some price for sound, vitalized eggs, delivered rn good condition, .but the eggs seht him are often poor in quali ty. By the artificial method of hatch ing, from seventy to ninety per cent, of the eggs in the drawers, according to the quality of the lots sent him; prod ui e chicks, and the healt hy chicks rarely fail to thrive in the after pro cess of fattening for market. He has demonstrated the feasibility of a fowl raising establishment on an extended scale, which has long been question ed, and he owns to-day what is un doubtedly the largest poultry farm in the world.
