JESSE JAMES
In Embryo, Makes Coed His Els,
cape From the City Prison.

The daring little thief, Oliver
Roberts, who is hardly ten years old,
distinguished himself yesterday by
effecting his escape from the Gala
boose. He was locked up in a cell Oh
the second floor all alone, and at once
began an inspection Of the room. The
marks Of his toes, made by climbing
up to the iron barred window, we're
plainly visible when the inspection of
the cell was made. Failing in that
direction he went to work on the
heater, and succeeded in tearing up
the iron crate which covered the
mouth of the drum. He had no way
Of knowing where he would drop to,
but took the chances, and jumped
down the hue, alighting on top Of
a big stove on the FIRST floor
Then with his hands he pushed aside
the sheet iron pipe in which he found
himself inclosed, and thus made his
way into the open courtyard. He
found that he could pass his head
through the bars Of the rear window
of the courtroom, which looks out
upon the yard, and worming his body
through, succeeded in making good his
escape. He was shortly afterward
captured and taken before the Chief
who, struck by the little scamp's
courage, and feeling sympathy for
bis widowed mother, succeeded in OBJ
tanning his release upon his own re.
cognizance.

COLES UAPER.
Chickens, Thieves and Pistols
for Three.

A darby named Hudson Anderson
had athrilling experience in clump of
sycamores in the northern suburbs of
the city night before last. He had
been robbed of all his chickens a few
nights ago and was" pirouting" around
to try and get a glimpse of the faces Of
providers in his neighborhood. When
in the midst efthe clump of sycamores
he heard a chicken squak and then a
pistol click.
Don't shoot" he cried, and then
somebody answered, well, then, keep
right on and mind your business" He
kept on and passed close to three
negroes, who pulled their hats down
over their faces and presented their
pistols uncomfortably close to his
head.
Officer Stevenson found a negro man
near the same place last night, who,
when asked his business drew a pistol
and showed fight, but the officer was
too quick for him, and after a rough
tussle succeeded in making him pris.
oner. Anderson appeared in court
this morning and on his evidence and
that of the policemanth the darky, whose
name is Henry Cole, was fined fifty
dollars and bound we to appear be.
fore the Criminal Court. Anderson
identified Cole as one of the parties to
his adventure of the previous night.

A Uniform in Soak.

Accidents will happen in the best Of
families, and even to members Of
military companies. A private letter
received in this city from Nashville
contains the following item Of gossip,
which may be Of more or less interest
in military and clearinghouse circles:
II have discovered q Porter Rife
suit on this street. 1t is laid away
with the utmost care, as it is in soak
for a board bill. The generous land
lady thinks it will be many a day ere
the dilapidated Porter calls around to
redeem it. Shortness of money and
brains seems to be the cause of his
~protracted delay. Think we had better
buy it and bury it with hat Louisville
suit. 1t might be a charity to dead OF
dying honors."

During a thunderstorm, juno q, the
Confederate monument in the State
House grounds. Columbia, South Caro-
lima, was struck by lightning, and the
marble statue of Confederate soldier
ground. The head was cut completely
off at the neck as if with sword, and
falling, struck on the upper base stone
of the northern front of the monument.
In falling the body struck the lower
base ON the eastern side, driving it ont
of place for an inch or two. The can
NON at the rear of the statue was broken
on. The right leg was severed at the
skirt of the coat. The hands, which
rested ON the musket, were broken Of
and the left leg was driven into the
ground six or eight inches. There ia
nothing left on the top of the shaft but
a fragmsnt6of the left leg, which is bro
ken off at the left ankle, and rests upon
the broken stock Of the musket. The
statue was hurled TO the ground with 60
great force that where it struck the
stone base it was crushed into powder.
Many fragments were carried of by Gu
riosity seekers. The head and hands
were deposited in the Secretary of
States office for safe keeping, and the
rest of the statue was placed under the
guard of the State House keeper.
The monument was erected by the
South Carolina Monumental Associa-
ton, composed Of ladies, ON May Ii,
1879. The association was founded in
February, 1855, and work was begun in
1860. The total expenses Of the enter
prise amounted to Eli, 6l. 46. The
which was Of fine Italian marble, cost
about 5000.

terviswed Delegate Brepts. and the lat
ter gentleman said:
Under the Law, you know, / as repre-
sentative Of Territory, not a State,
am not entitled 70 q vote in Congress.
I am the author Of . bill which has been
introduced in tho House, providing for
the admis ion Of Washington Territory
into the Union. The bill. regret to
say, failed to pass at the last session,
although made several speeches in its
support, but l trust that at the next
session Of Congress it will be more SIC
ce<sful. Am encouraged to think 30
bv the friendly sentiments entertained
toward il by several Of the lsadIng Sen
atoFs and Representatives. At the pres
emit time Washington Territory has a
population of about 135, ZOO, which Is
5000 less than the number necessary
to entitle it to one Representative in
Congress; but within q year, If the pop
ulatiOn continues TO increase in the
present ratio. il will be more than sufii-
Client. Washington has greater and
more varied resources than any other
county in the Northwest. President
Willard, Of the Northern Pacific, has
declared his intention to build rail
road straight across Washington Terri
tory to Portland. Oregon, and If he is
as good AZ his word that will do a good
deal toward developing the natural re-
sources of the country, enhancing the
value of the land and increasing the
population. Eventually President Vii
lard may prove to be no better than the
mOuopOly kings Of the other Pacific
roads, but Just now he is esteemed by
the people of the N0rthwes who think
that he will keep his promises.
