MurIcrers.

CArLETTSBURG, January 2l.-The jury in
the Neal case retired at o'clock this morn
ing, and within seventeen minutes were
back in the court room and delivered their
verdict of guilty, fixing the penalty of
death by hanging. The prisoner wore

Neal best that he will weaken now and
make a confession.

will fight desperately for every possible
legal delay. They have moved to set the
indictment aside because one of the jurors
was not n householder. The court will in

The National Board of Health here,
which has been at a loss Tor something to

the opinion of good many physicians
here that if the general government would
turn its attention To the matter OF proyid-
ing liberal supplies of pure virus for vac
cine purposes, distributing it freely and
enforcing its use, it would accomplish
more to keep down the disease than by all

there would De no reason to dread the pres

A BIG JOB,

Nine months of hard and ingenious labor by
Johnnie Sansome convict in the prison at Fol-
som, Cal, enabled him to escape. By thrusting
a wire down between the granite blocks in the
floor fhis cell he discovered cavity underneath,
which was an abandoned sewer. With chisel
which he struggled from the workshop, and
heavy piece of wood, he broke one of the stones
This required a month, because he could only
strike blow when door was closed, or some
other noise was made to hide it, and he frequent
ly sat up all night without being able to strike
more than once or twice. In the daytime he
was in the shop. After removing the halt square
of granite he dug slowly down through three
feet of stone and cement, first boring hole and
afterward letting the chips fall through It, At
the end of three months he got into the sewer
and found it plugged with stone and cement ten
feet thick at its former outlet. The emaining
six months were spent in digging through this
obstruction He worked at night, and naked,
leaving his clothes so arranged In bed that the
guard supposed he was in them. Foul gas in
the sewer nearly suffocated him, loss of sleep
made him ill., aud his weight fell off twenty five
pounds But he got out at last Within three
hours an officer recognized hin. and De was again
a prisoner.
