SLIPPED OUT OF JAIL.

j. K. Calder Makes r Dash Past the
Guard but is Captured a Few Rods
Away.
j. E. Calder made dash out OF the jail
yesterday, at p. M, and ran at the top
of his speed to Whitaker street. Jailor
Joseph Kinchley followed at a good gait,
and fired bis pistol twice. At the corner
OF Hall and Whitaker, he seized Calder
and marched him back to his cell.
Calder is a white prisoner who was
committed to Jail for shooting at a COM
panion. He was charged in the commit
ment with assault with intent to kill. On
Wednesday, young member of the bar
VINO had been appointed counsel for Calder
visited the Jail to consult the accused man,
Yesterday he went back, and Calder was
allowed to go into the Sherlff's office to
talk with his lawyer. After the cOnsulta-
ton was over he was led back. The pris-
Oners bad Just been served with dinner,
and Calder was stopped at the gate a
moment to get his loaf of bread. When
he took the loaf he suddenly remembered
that he had lett his hat in the office. He
asked permission to step inside and get it.
He was allowed to go. AS he came out OF
the office Calder sprang towards the
front door of the Jail and cleared the
steps with leap,
The jailer refrained from firing at the
prisoner as he ran through the short hall
way. Mr.. Kinchley was scarcely dozen
PAGES behind Calder when he struck Hall
street. The firing frightened him and
seeing a mounted officer a short distance
ahead he concluded to stop. The prison
er's attorney had not reached Whitaker
street when he heard the shots and turn
ing he was surprised to see his client put
ting more trust in his own legs than in
the uncertainty of iury's verdict.

ing the views that we have expressed as
to the main cass-the case made by the
original bill--we do not think that II
would be wise exercise Of discretion TO
grant the injunction against the city IN
accordance with the prayer Of the amend
ed bill, even if the grounds upon which 1t
is sought were more clearly maintalnaole.
It is quite doubtful II the title TO the pres
ent jail site is in the city. Nor does 1t
seem to US that its conveyance 70 the
county is without consideration. The
city is directly interested in securing a
suitable jail, because its prisoners are
kept therein free Of cost. The removal Of
the building and the sale Of the lots will
add largely to the tax revenue Of the city.
The city likewise will realize such bene-
its as are incident TO this needed work OF
public improvement. We are entirely
clear that il is our duty to refuse the in
Junction.

TWELvE YEARS ApIEur.
Two Young Negro Cracksmen Booked
for the Coal Mines.

Bob Gardeners and Jessie Berrien's
cases were disposed of in very short
order by Judge Adams yesterday. Gard
ner and BerTien are both negroes. Gard
ner was charged with entering the house
of Elsie Gillyard, Aug. 20, while the pro-
prietor was absent, and carrying off a
bagful OF property. A music box, a locket
and some trinkets were traced to him.
The prisoner plead guilty, and the court,
remarKing that there were no extenuating
circumstances, imposed a sentence of u
years in the penitentiary.
AS Gardner stepped down, out Of the
box, Berrien took his place. He was
charged with having entered Samuel
Howard's house, Oct 8. A watch and
chain and 1925 In cash, were the booty
Berrien got away with. When
captured, skeleton key was
found in one OF his pockets.
He is Is years old, and has a bad reputa-
ton, having made for himself before this
a record In the court. The evidence was
so positive against Berrien that he con-
Guided to plead guilty, Notwithstanding
Gardeners fate.
In passing sentence, His Honor OBJ
served that he had intended to give Ber-
rien term longer even than Gardner re-
ceiVed, but as the prisoner was rather
young 1t would only be II years.

Resolutions Adopted by the Savannah
Cotton Exchange.

OOLOOn
A meeting of the Savannah Cotton Ex-
change was held last evening to take into
consideration the matter of erecting the
proposed new building. A resolution
was passed authorizing the President of
the Exchange to appoint a committee of
five to secure plans and estimates to be
submitted to future meeting for ap-
prOYal.
The following resolution having bear
ing upon the river and harbor improve
ments was offered by Capt. W. W. Gordon
and adopted by unanimous vote:
WHEREAS, A depth of water sufficient for
the largest vessels to come to our wharves
would add greatly to the advantages and i'm
portance Of this port, and by increased econo-
my in ocean transportation, would give in
creased not returns to the producers of cotton,
rice. lumber, naval stores, and all other ex-
ports; and
" HEREAs. 1t is confidently believed that
such depth Of water can be obtained; there
fore, be it
quested to submit plans OF improvement, with
estimates of cost. for giving q channel from
the CITY OF Savannah to the sea navigable at
mean high water for vessels of % feet draught,
the plans and estimates herein called for to
be based upon a detailed survey Of the river
from cross tides to the sea. the expenses of
said survey to be betrayed from any funds
now on hand for improving the harbor at
Savannah.
ResoIped. further, That the Board of Trade
and City Council be asked to join this EX-
change in a request to the Hon. T NJ. Nor
wood, member of Congress from this district,
to introduce and press the passage of the
above resolutions, and in Q request to the
this State to do all in their power to aid him
in securing its speedy adoption by Congress

A Pavement for Brourhton Street.

There Is a reasonable hope that Brough-
ton street will be paved with asphalt.
With the roadway reduced by widening
the sidewalks as provided for by ordi-
nance, the cost Of paving would be re-
duced 70 a minimum. The experience
with asphalt payements ia other cities
has proven II TO be durable and healthy,
20 say nothing OF it's noselessness. The
cost Is SAID 70 be less than any other pave
ment, and IL never wears out. The mat
ter Is worthy Of the attention OF the bust
ness men and property owners on Brough-
ton street. and II some one or more ener-
getic merchants interested will take mold
OF the matter II can soon be put in shape.

Jerry Abner's Physical Condition Ex-
cites Sympathy in a Jury.
Jerry Abuer's experience in the supe-
rier Court yesterday afternoon ought to
satisfy him that a physical inhrmity is
sometimes a blessing. Abner, who is
stout colored boy, was arrested on the
night Of July 13 last by Policeman II. NJ.
Morgan. When the officer saw him Alb
ner had stone in one hand and appeared
to be ri1ing the pockets OF q. G. Sheppard
with the other. Sheppard was a white
man, and was pretty drunk.
Since being lodged In jail
Abner has become partially paralyZed.
He stated 20 the court and Jury that he
did not attempt to rob sheppard. He also
said that Sheppard made an attempt to
draw a pistol and he, the defendant.
picked up stone 10 defend himself Shep-
pard is not in the city, and the policeman
was the only witness for the State. Alb
ner's condition seemed 10 create some
sympathy, and the jury returned ver-
DICT OF not guilty.
