Died in JAIN.

MADISON, Ca, October 25.-TSpecial. +
Henry Hudson, the negro who was arrested
some time ago, and who defied the sheriff,
marshal and several other men who were try
ing to arrest him, died in the county Jail here
last night. MIR. 7. S. Burney and Sheriff Joe
Hilsman went over to Eatonton on yesterday
to see Judge Jenkins in regard to Hudson's
release, but ere their return, Henry was
corpse. lie has been sick for
some time with a loathsome, lingering disease,
and could not stand trial at tho last September
superior court, so llo has remained in Jail ever
since. Sheriff Hilsm2n, who is also taller,
gave him every attention in his power, but
despite every effort to save him, Henry Hud-
son died. The CONSTITUTION contained an
account of his arrest soon after its occurrence,
which!Eswas one of the most despeTte
affairs which ever occurred in Nor
gan county. Henry was wanted for some Of
tense, and the sheriff, marshal and one or two
others went out to the railroad hands camp
to bring him in. Tho posse surrounded the
house in which Hudson was secTeted When
the door was forced open Hudson met them
with blazing pistol, and Sheriff Hilsman
and Marshal Pete Bearden came near losing
Their lives. Other negro hands arrived
on the scene and at one time il
seemed that the whole posse would be killed.
Hudson got the drop on plucky Joe Hilsman,
the sheriff, ana told him to move and he would
die. Tie sheriff reasoned with him until Pete
Bearden came up from the rear and opened
fire on Hudson. AS it happened, not one of
the posse was hurt although dozen shots
were fired. Hampton and Braddeen, the
Dos es Of the gang, arrived in time to prevent
most dreadful affair as a dozen negroes were
around Hudson, ri declaring death to the
wlliteman who touched him first and each one
heavily armed. Fearing the Jail would be
visited by mob OF negroes who would release
Hudson, tbe county commissioners had him
genI % atlanta, where be remained in Jail
until September. The offence which caused
his arrest was trivial, and the case against
hln nc his death was assault with the attempt
fo murder. Hudson also weIt bv tho name OF

NOTED cRAcKsMEN BREAK JAIL,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 3.-The au
thorities in this city were informed today
of the escape of two of the most desperate
and expert cracksmen in the country from
the Jail at Toms River, Ocean county, n.
j. The prisoners were James Forrod alias
Forrest, and Frank Smith, alias Monk, ]"
and they were awaiting trial for blowing
open the safe of McClees' hardware store,
at Toms River, on the night Of February
e. Smith was caught the next morning
near the scene of the robbery. Forrod was
captured in this city two months ago
10y Detective Bond. He turned on
the detective, drew pistol and made
a determined attempt to shoot him. For
rod is suspected of having been the author
of the numerous safe robberieS which were
perpetrated in this city about three months
ago. He is said to be the only safe cracker
from the top. The safes at the Port Rich
mond postoffice, at Hunsicker, and
Thomas coal Office, Twelfth street and
Washington avenue, and half a dozen
other safes which were cracked in this
city were all blown open from the top.
After Ferrod was arrested he acknowl-
edged that he had broken open the safe at
Toms River, and he was taken there for
trial Two weeks ago Forrest tried TO es-
cape from the Jail there by filing off the
bars of his cell. He had two
bars off when discovered, and
the steel file was taken from
him. After this attempt a keeper
was placed on guard to watch Forest and
Smith. Sunday, while Sheriff Holman
was at church, Forrest and Smith prevail
ed upon their keeper to allow them the
freedom of the corridor. While the keeper
was bending over hydrant drawing a
glass OF water the two men sprang upon
him from the rear and overpowered him.
Forrest took his pistol from him, and hold
ing it at his head compelled him to sur
render the keys which allowed them their
freedom. Smith stole shot gun from the
sheriff room and both men got safely
away. A reward of 500 each has been of
fered for their capture They are both
armed and it is feared they will not be
captured without determined resistance
and probably bloodshed

ROASTED PRISONERS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 3.-Just before
daylight this morning the Jail at Friars
Point, Miss, was discovered to be on fire.
Desperate efforts were made to release the
five prisoners it contained but without sue
cess, and they persisted in the flames.
They were: William Gray (white), aged %,
under a sentence in the penitentiary of ten
years for arson and robbery; Fred Powers
white. pal of Gray's, who was also IN
der sentence of five years for robbery;
Powers, another white man, under arrest
for an assault with intent to kill: Andy
Brown (colored), under death sentence for
murder, and negro boy, aged 10. who was
crazy. There is no doubt but that Gray
set the Jail on fire, as he had threatened to
do it rather than so to the penitentiary
The Jail was substantial brick building,
a portion of it being occupied by the chan
Gerry and circuit clerks, who succeeded in
saving the county records.

WILKINSON, Pa, April "a terrible riot
took place in the Polish-Hungarian quar-
tiers of town last night. The foreigners
celebrated Easter by drinking immense
quantities of beer and whisky. Towards
night they got to fighting among them
selves and big riot ensued. Stones, clubs
and pistols were used in the melee. Women
and children took part. and at at mid
night nearly 100 persons lay on the battle
field, all more or less injured. The police
were summoned, hut were not strong
enough in numbers and were routed by the
rioters. Officer Nolan was probably fatally
injured in the scuffie. He was
struck on the head with a stone and his
skull fractured The whole police force
was called to the scene, and, after hard
struggle. succeeded in subduing the rioters
and arresting about forty of them. The
battle between the Poles and Hungarians
lasted from in the evening until S O'Clock
this morning. Five persons were taken to
the hospital with their heads crushed and
bullet holes in their bodies. Their names
are Staribars, Vnoyenchi, S. Schwerts,
krockie and Michael Ellorish. The brewer
who furnished the rioters with two wagon
loads of beer is to be arrested. More than
fifty of the Poles and Hungarians We're
picked up out of the roadways this morn

TOPEKA, Kan, April 3-The followin
| is synopsis of the forthcoming quarterly
report Of the Kansas state board of agri
culture for the quarter ending March 81
1883:
Wheat-Area sown in the state in the
i'll the fall of 1887, as compared with that
sown the previous year, 10l per cent, which
gives a total area for the state of 1,315, S2s
acres. which is an excess of 17,209 acres
above the acreage of the previous year.
Winter killed or destroyed from other
causes per cenG. General condition of
crop, as compared with full stand and
unimpaired vitality, 90 per cent.
Rye-General condition of crop as COM
pared with average condition, 100 per cent.
Live stock-Horses. condition generally
good but In many counties thin of flesh in
consequence of the scarcity and high price
of grain. No prevailing disease.
Notwithstanding the fear and
anxiety of farmers throughout the state
last fall, cattle have gone through the win
ter in fair shape, as rule and the percent
age of loss is less than it has been for a
number of years. In general cattle are
thin, but in good health and have
sufficient strength to carry them through
TO grass. Only few counties report
losses, and these are mostly In the extreme
western portion of the stare and are at
tributed TO corn stocks and other dry indi-
geStible food.
Hogs.-Farmers generally, on account of
light corn crops sold their hogs off close
in the fall and those remaining are for the
most part thin in flesh, there will be but
few pigs this spring. In a few counties
hog cholera is reported, but generally in a
mild form and it is no doubt only the rem
nant of that fearful scourge which played
SO much havoc among the hogs of Kansas
the two preceding years
Tame graSses-All varieties of tame
grasses suffered more or less, from the
drouth of last season and as reports very
in regard to them it is difficult to de-
termine which variety has withstood the
drouth best, but timothy and clover
especially for Eastern, and alfalfa and
orchard grass for Western Kansas, seem
to give, on the whole, the best satisfac-
ton.
Fruit-Buds of all varieties, with the
exception of peaches, are reported in good
health and condition and promise good
crop.
The season is reported generally through
out the state as about two weeks late, but
the ground, without any exception, is in
excellent condition for spring crops. The
subsoil of Kansas is reported as more
thoroughly soaked by the March rains
than it has been for many years. Alto
gether, the situation in Kansas at this
time is most hopeful. and the farmers
throughout the state are in good spirits,
and, Notwithstanding the backward sea
son, are expecting bountiful yield from
the seed that they put into the ground
this season.
