Of dis word is misleading, as it has no
genealogical connection whatever with
the word loal. 1t is derived from the

Tricks Of COnyic,S.

Warden Brush Of Sing Sing prison,
told an Albany 1rg4s reporter Of re-
cent attempted escape from his castle by
the use Of a dummy. The prisoner had
set up dummy in his CELL which was
counted by the guard at lookup time,
and the prisoner escaped to the laundry
preparatory for flight at an opportune
hour of night But he was caught be
fore the final attempt at escape was
made. Prisoners" said the warden,
'prepare for an escape by dummy by
working upon the confidence of the
keeper Then they will play sick and
throw themse YES upon their cell cots in
a certain position. This position be-
comes familiarto the keepers, and when
the prisoner thinks the chances are ia
vorable he will build his dummy and
place it upon the bed IN the certain posi-
ton he has lain while feigning sickness.
If the keeper is not sharp the dummy
will be counted as genuine prisoner
But to avoid this have two keeper to

who have not made a success in life.
There has been no systematic study
given to the art Of prophcsying and the
large number Of broken-down prophets
is due to our defective system Of educa-

The snake story season is in the sere
and yellow leaf, and the pumpkin story
season is at hand. The latter starts out,
too, with greater promise of success
than has marked its advent for many
years. Already we have three very re-
spectacle pumpkin yarns, which make a
very good beginning. A California
pumnlsin which had been utilized by
vagrant colony of bees as a honey store
sousc, was the first to make its appear
anct. The insects had found their way
into the vegetable through a crack in its
side. and when the owner of the pump
kin made an investigation he found that
the bees had accumulated eight pounds
of honey The circumstance is being
quoted by the California papers as an
other result Of the glorious climate of
that State, where pumpkins and honey
can be raised on the same vine OF a
different character was pumpkin Of
Connecticut, which grew to enormous
proportions only to explode when placed
in a store win low for exhibition, and
destroy a valuable pane Of plate glass.
A New York pumpkin, though, rather
outdistanced its competitors by attain
ing weight of 25O pounds. This
Jumbo Of pumpkins was fed on milk.
One Of its roots was allowed to rest in a
basin Of milk, and it drank pint each
day. We do net think that New York,

milk in this manner, as the process is
rather too expensive and troublesome for
general adoption, but the story shows

ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 2G.-The Arm.
strong trial commenced before The cccle.
slastcal court this morning at O'clock.
The iirst thing the court ala was 10 cy-
clude all spectators and reporters Ia
the hope OF keeping the proceedings quiet
The principal witness for the prosecution.
however, T. =. Mann, tho Cincinnati re-
porter, who Swallowed Armstrong durlnu
his alleged spree IN that city, was found
at his hotel and gave the points of the
story TO which he testified before court.
According TO Mann's evidence Armstrong
stopped on the way to Canada ut Cncin-
matt, and while walking down one of the
principal streets OF the city saw Lilly
Shaw, a well-known courtesan, aud fc-
male companion sitting on the doorstep
The girls said to their male companion,
"Sce the funny lame man over there; he
looks like q minister, and he is drunk
Let's call TO him to come over" MIR.
Mann says the girls then whisted and
beckoned TO Mr.. Armstrong, and
that as soon as he saw them he crossed
over and spoke TO them. lie seemed to
like Lilly, and finally chuckied her under
the chin and said "you are Il pretty girl. -
After some further conversation with the
girls Lilly gave the clergyman her card
and told him TO call two weeks later
Armstrong was again seen In Cincinnati,
and the witness says he was again intoxi-
Gated. He took a hack and began drlv-
ing TO several houses OF i'll fame OF the
city, asking at each II Lilly Shaw lived
there. Lilly Shaw is an orphan, and
lived in Cincinnati four years. She was
formerly servant girl, and mas been liy-
ing q life of shame more than three years !.
This fact is OF importance in contrast TO
the statement made by Armstrong, that
he was seeking the DAUGHTER of dear
friend, who lives in Canada, to save her
from life Of shame.
Other important points will be made
public in the further examination Of Mr..
Mann tomorrow The prosecution claims
10 have d large batcl OF afildaviis, in
which many racy and sensational Incl
dents will be made public. Armstrong
has secured Floke Smith, Esq, one Vi the
most talented lawS ers in Georgia, 10
defend him and the case will probably
last week.
In the face Of Mann's testimony, Arm.
strong's friends stand strong and say he
will be honorably acquitted and Mann
will break down under cross-eXamina
ton. The trial is the topic Of the hour
| in Atlanta, and considerable comment Il
provoked because IL is being conducted
before an ecclesiastical and not 0
judicial court Reporters will get thu
gist of the testimony anyhow. Mann
states that he is positive In his recognition
of Armstrong, owing to Armstrong;

Sir Mchral Hicks Beach gave notice.
This motion was strongly OPP
