Jail Delivery in Walhalla.

WALHALLA, S. G. Jan. 14.-Thurs.
day night was dark and stormy, and sleet
and rain were falling heavily. A better
night for jail-breaking could not be de-
sired, and it was well utilized by the
criminals confined in the county Jail
here. The names and crimes of those
who escaped are as follows: George
Washington, (colored), arson; Wheeler
Nichols, forgery; Mack D. Alexander,
forgery; Thomas Mayfeld, (colored) J,
concealed weapons; W. T. Garrett,
selling property under mortgage John
franklin, peddling without license. The
above six we're all confined in one cell,
besides two others who did not go with
the crowd. They spent the dark and
silent hours of the night in boring
through the walls of the cell with an
auger, which had been secretly conveyed
to them by some one who had evaded
the watchful eye of the Sheriff. After
boring through tie walls and removing
portion sufficient to pass through, they
tied their blankets together, making a
line of twenty feet, one end OF which
was fastened to a chair post in the cell,
the other reaching the ground. They
then crawled through the hole and de-
scended to the ground by means of this
rope, and made good their
escape about 4 o'clock yesterday morn.
ing. There is considerable speculation
as to who furnished the auger.-Special

Shaking Again.

SAVANNAH, GA, January l2.-An
earthquake shock disturbed late sleepers
in Savannah at $50 this morning.
Buildings swayed slightly, glass ratified,
the walls moved perceptibly, and there
was a general rush for the doors. True,
there were many who did not feel the
shock at all. Those who were on the
streets did not, and, as rule, those who
were standing did not. On the pay
nearly everyone noticed it. Those who
we're sitting down in the Offices on the
north side felt it more plainly than any
others in the city.
The wind was high and the first clatter
of the windows was mistaken by some,
but when the floors began to vibrate,
and that peculiar sensation which only
an earthquake can produce, started up
peoples legs, they involuntarily felt an
impulse to run for the street. No rumb-
ling was observed in the city, but it was
heard in the country. At the wharyes
of the Ocean Steamship company, the
shock was plainly felt by all OF the en-
ployes. at first it was thought that a
ship had struck the wharf. In the Cen,
trail railroad shops, the workmen dropped
their tools and made for the door. ln
the telephone exchange the lady opera
tors cut off every subscriber for half
minute. A score of people in relating
their experience, told how they ran tor
doorways, arches and staircases. The
shock lasted between five and ten seconds.
It was over before men got out OF their
Offices, and must have been of short du'
ration. Usually some glassware IS
broken, but none was reported. The
shock is what would have been called a
slight one fifteen months ago.
The direction of the shock this morn,
ing was not observed. In the signal
office the quake was not noticed. Inc
building is tall and is shaken so much by
passing drays and cars that the observers
are not apt to pay attention to any shock
that does not knock the plaster of the
ceiling. When they examined their in.
struments for measuring the velocity OF
the wind, they saw at 1851, Washington
time, the registering pencil had been de-
Aected as though it had been Jared.
That fixes the time of the shock in
Savannah at 1921, city time.
COLUMBIA, S. g., January IA
sharp earthquake shock, the first in
many months, startled the citizens of
Columbia at 9:55 this morning. Build
ings we're severely shaken, and doors,
windows, crockery and glassware ratlled
in lively manner. People sleeping
were rudely awakened, and many rushed
into the streets. The direction of the
wave seemed to be from north to south.
The vibrations continued about ten
seconds, and were accompanied by loud
detonations.
CHARLESTON, s. c., January 12.-The
earthquake shock this morning was gen.
orally felt throughout the coast country
and as far west as Augusta. No damage
has been reported at any place.
Dispatches tonight show that the
earthquake shock this morning was felt
at Summerville, Georgetown, Conway,
Beaufort and Newberry. ).
WILMINGTON, N. @. January IA
sharp earthquake shock was felt here
this morning at about 10 o'clock. No
damage done.

He Survived the Hanging.

GAINESVILLE, GA, Jan. 9-Fora week
rumors have been coming into this city
that Tillman G. Justice, barring slight
soreness in the neck, was alive and well
in his mountain home. To day gentle
man arrived from Towns County, who
gives positive assurance that the hanging
of Justice was sham; that his body was
quickly cut down and resuscitated, aud
that dozen men in Hiwassee have con-
versed with him since November 19,
when he was supposed to have been
hanged. Justice was an illicit distiller
in Towns County, who had for neigh
Dor John B. Goddard, retired lawyer,
aged seventy-two.
Goddard was suspected of giving the
revenue officials information concerning
the moonshiuers, and for this reason he
was shot dead by Justice. The murderer
was kept in the Jail of this city awaiting
bis hanging, and when the date arrived
was carried to that county.
Towns County is high up in the noun
tains, sixty miles away from the nearest
railway station, and is so cut off that its
existence is not known to most people.
1t is overrun by moonshiners, and there
fore it would be an easy matter for friend.
" officers to save friend. The editor of
tie Dahlonega Signal is authority for the
statement that Justice was still breathing
when he was cut down.

borhood, after ?tcd 10 commit suicide
yesterday afternoon by cutting his throat
The Doctor is convert to the doctrine
of "sanctifcaticn," and his enthusiasm
on that subject has unbalanced his mind,
but nobody suspected that he would at
tempt to take his life. Yesterday after
noon, however, while Mrs. Shaw was
attending funeral in the country, the
Doctor procured tub of water, which
he placed in his back yard, and kneeling
down beside it, offered up wild prayer.
He then took sharp knife from his
pocket, and, bending his head over the
tub, deliberately plunged the knife into
the right side of his neck, barely missing
the large artery. The blood spurted out
into the tub and the unfortunate man
fell over upon the ground in an uncon.
scious condition.
An old negro man who was working in
the yard witnessed the Doctors mad act
and gave the alarm. Neighbors came to
his assistance and summoned physician.
The wound is an ugly one, though not
necessarily fatal.-Special to the Register.

The Blizzard's Victims.

WASHINGTON, January 14.-Dispatch-
es from the northwest record number
of deaths by freezing in the recent biz
zald. a school teacher named Miss
Curtis was frozen to death on the way
home from school, at Delamoc, Dakota.
Near Sioux falls man was found dead
standing beside his barn, and another lay
all night within half mile of town, in
a snow bank, between his horses, this
saving his life. Three children at Gar.
rison, Neb., got lost going home from
school, and remained out all night. One
was dead when found; the other two
may recover. w. B. Headly was frozen
to death near Barkston, Oak. Two men
were frozen to death near Maysville,
Montana. a farmer named Allen, and
his son, were caught near Mitchell, OAK,
and the son was frozen to death, and the
father will lose both his arms. Another
man is lost in the same neighborhood
and freight train is blockaded nine
miles from Mitchell and the crew have
had nothing to eat since Wednesday. In
the neighborbood of Aberdeen, Dakota,
ten men were caught by the storm at
different points. -Four have been found
dead; the others are probably dead, but
have not been found. The loss of live
stock is immense. Some are actually
freezing to death in stalls in their stables.
Two belated stock trains from Nebraska
arrived at ST. Joseph, No, last night with
every head of cattle dead.
The list of persons frozen 10 death or
missing in the storm published in St.
Paul foots up thirty-six, but later dis
patches from towns in Dakota alone
show the number to be much greater and
additions are constantly being made.

of children and heroic efforts of parents

One Mr.. William Chandler, of the

of the Republican voters of New Hamp.

champion ofthe bloody shirt issue, upon
which the Republicans Of the Senate
now seek to revive their fallen fortunes.
He has introduced quite a number of

the Bill to regulate Federal elections in
