An Outlaws Ruse.

MoRGANToN, N. G., March 6.-Lucky
Joe Wilson, the chief of a band of horse
thieves and outlaws, escaped from the
Jail of Watauga County to day by sharp
ruse. Wilson was sentenced to the State
prison for ten years for bis outlawry. He
took an appeal and was awaiting q decis.
ion of the Supreme Court in hia case.
For some weeks past he has pretended to
be quite ill. Last night he feigned dead,
was laid out by the prison officials and
prepared for burial. The coffin was or.
dered and all other preparations made
for the interment of the dead outlaw.
The body was placed in an outbuilding.
where it was viewed by many of the pris.
oners aud officers of the jail. The eyes
were wide open and seemingly glazed in
death. Blood had spurted from the
mouth and ran down on the bed covering.
A minister was sent for to preach the flu.
neral of the notorious robber. The BODY
was left alone until the time arrived for
burial. When everything became quiet
about the prison Wilson suddenly resus-
citated himself, sprang up and dashed
out of the room and made his escape
Before any one was aware of what had
occurred he dashed down the mountain
and fed towards Tennessee. The discjv-
cry of the ruse played upon them'by
Wilson 80 paralyzed the officers that
they permitted the prisoner to geY two
hours the start of them before thy fol-
lowed him. 1t is hardly probable that
be will be captured.-DispatcS to the
NeVs and Courier.

Awarded Damages and Sentenced to
Death by the Same Court.

September 1880, Andrew j. Thomas,
of Barlow county, Ga, brakeman on the
Western, and Atlantic Railroad, was
struck and knocked from a box car by a
projection under shed of a freight
depot. In 1881 he brought suit against
the railroad for damages on account of
injury, which was severe blow on the
head. The first verdict was obtained in
1882, and was for $l5,000 This was set
aside as excessive. The case was again
tried in 1883, and a verdict was obtained
for $5,376.66 The verdict has just been
compromised by the company paying to
the attorneys of the injured man $4,000.
In January, 1851, Thomas had fight
with man named John Afford. Thom-
as shot Afford in the breast and forehead,
killing him almost instantly. Thus it
came to pass that Thomas had two cases
in the same court-one against railroad
for damages aud one in which he was
defendant on the charge of murder. He
was first convicted, and on recommenda-
tion to mercy was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. The case went to the Su.
preme Court aud new trial was granted.
On that trial he was convicted without
any recommendation to mercy. That
verdict the Superior Court set aside and
by agreement Thomas pleaded guilty to
voluntary manslaughter and was sentcnc-
ed to eighteen years in the penitentiary.
The same Court that gave him damages
in one case found him guilty of murder
in another. He had wife and child
living and the trustees for them received
the money.

- Fatal cases of trichinosis have just
occurred in Michigan and Indiana. In
both instances German families we're the
sufferers, and the victims had been eating
uncooked swines flesh. The pernicious
habit of eating smoked or salted pork,
without cooking it, retains its hold upon
the Germans, notwithstanding the warn.
ings of physicians and the frequent re-
ports of disease and death resulting from
the practice. 1t is to this habit to which
the great prevalence of trchinosis in
Germany is to be. attributed.

Senate asking for the erection OF post
Office buildings at every town which is
now or which shall hereafter become an

The trouble about public buildings has
always been that they are erected not
only for use, but also for show, and hence
cost immensely. 1t is proper for the
government to have handsome buildings
in the larger cities, but in towns the
buildings should be erected in a durable
manner, aud sufficiently spacious for the
needs of the government, but without
the extravagant expenditure for show
which is the present custom.
