ESCAPE FROM ALL FRUSTRATED
Negroes in Forsyth jail Plan Escape
and One Is Kill q.

-
About 0 O'Clock Saturday night,
Rufus Gibson called to Jaiier Stock-
ton that iliiam Jones, who has
been sick, wanted something to eat.
MIR. Stockton went and procured
some buttered biscuit for him.
Shortly afterward they called again
saying that Jones wanted some GIN
ger tea. This Mr.. Stockton, also
procured from the kitchen, and tax
ing it up opened the, passage door
leading by their cell, and as he went
to pass in the cup of tea, Thomas
Brodpax and Steve Walter pushed
the door of the cell open, throwing
Mr.. Stockton down, and ran out by
him. He jumped up and pointed
his pistol at and drove back Will
liam Jones, who was trying to get
out by him he followed the two ne
groes who had gone to the front
door of the jailers residence leading
out into the street. Finding they
could not escape that way, they star
ted back and met Mr.. Stockton in
the hallway, when the prisoner Steve
Walter attacked the jailer, who
fired upon him, the ball taking effect
LII tuO dOuOuSu' oLOoddA LII LAC
meantime was at the North side of
the Jail breaking out the glass win
dews. Walter in the seuffle had
knocked the lantern out of Mr.. Stock
toms hand. and after being shot
made for the window where BroG-
max was, when the jailer fred upon
him twice, both balls taking effect,
one in the left shoulder, the other in
the left breast. While the shooting
was going on Brodnax came back,
entered his cell and laid down.
Walter who jumped after he was
shot was captured by policeman
Thompson and Valentine, and taken
to the basement of the Jail, where
DIR. Dalton made an examination of
his wounds. Ascertaining that they
were fatal, he was taken to the front
room in the upper story where in a
short while Walter expired. After
the shooting of Walter, all became
quiet and no further escape was at
tempted. He was in Jail awaiting
trial on the charge Of forging an
order on Capt, S. E. Allen, for gun,
and was powerful man physically,
and abont 40 years old
SOrOucT FOSie Ouuusiy heIO an
inquest, and after hearing all the
evidence, the jury rendered verdict
that Jailer Stockton was fully justi-
fed in the shooting and did not
transcend his duty as an officer, in
trying to prevent the prisoners esca-
ping.
Mr.. Stockton nevertheless deeply
regrets having slain his prisoner,
while he feels that he was protecting
his own life, and discharging his
duty as the custodian of county pris-
oners.
Mrs. Stockton, wife eff the jailer,
displayed great heroism and bravery.
After Mr.. Stockton had lost his light
and fred the only shots in his pistol.
she carried him lighted lamp and a
double-barrel gun and told him to
use that in his defense and to pre-
vent the prisoners escaping.

So;.th Salem Improve m mt.

The Winston Salem Land and In
vestment Company have now at
work on it's property, extending
Main street, grading streets, and i'm
proving the grounds some three hun
dred men, and by the opening of
spring every facility will be ready for
the erection of buildings upon this
company's fine premises These
lands are extensive. They embrace
several hundred acres, and are most
eligibly situated for residences and
for manufacturing sites. The loca-
ton is on the projected Southern Ex-
tension of the Roanoke and Southern
Railroad, and will also be reached BY
the Winston-Salem street car system.
To afford every facility, attraction
and advantage the Winston-S Salem
Land and Investment Company has
contracted for handsome iron
bridge, of mammoth proportions to
span Wachovia Brook (Salem Creek
| which we learn is to be built sixty
feet wide, having protected walk
ways for foot passengers, track for
street car in the centre, and wide pas
| sage ways on either side for horses
and vehicles.
Thirteen bridge building firms COM
peted for the bridge job, and sent
representatives to attend the open
ing of bids and awarding of contract.
The contract was let to Dean and
| Westbrook, of New York, and the
terms are for it's Immediate construc-
ton, and completion, ready for traf
fic within sixty days.
The company is now in negotiation
with capitalists and manufacturing
people for the following new estab
lishments and enterprises upon it,
lands: A cotton factory; a shoe fac
tory;a box factory; furniture fac
tory; a cannery; and Patent Mai
Works.

Oyster Piracy.

The State leaves the natural beds
open to the public, but as they belong
to the State, it is proper that the
State and its citizens should derive
whatever benefit is to be obtained
from them and the law is framed with
that end in view, and those outsiders
who are raiding the beds know that
they have no right, title or interest in
them any more than the midnight
marauder has to other peoples prop
erty which he appropriates.> They
know the law and it is asserted that
many Of them come well armed for
resistance if they should be molested
They are taking the oysters deliber-
ately, willfully, and in open defiance
of the State whose grounds they are
stealing from.-New Berne Journal

make an exhibit at the Columbian
Exposition in case the Force bill be-

Hotel Roanoke yesterday. Speaking
of work on the Roanoke and South

been delayed by the bad weather,
but we are making good Roadway,
and with the opening season will
move on more rapidly. Trains run
within ten miles of Martinsyille, and
the rails are laid still nearer. This

of road have been graded"
When asked l. the failure of Breen

THE RIGHT WINS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Rad
zeal wing of the Senate was taken
by surprise and completely routed
last evening during the long and
able speech of Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, against the proposed gag
rule, which he had continued over
from Saturday, and was proceeding
with through the afternoon session
without any signs of let up.
Finally, as the afternoon was wear
ing along, Senator Wolcott, of Colo
RADIO. Republican opponent of the
rule of closure and of the Force bill,
asked Mr.. Morgan to yield the floor
to him, that he might move to take
up the Apportionment bill.
Mr.. Morgan said that he would do
so, although he was at very inter-
esting point in his speech, which he
trusted he would never haye the op-
portunity to resume.
Mr.. Wolcott then made the motion.
and Mr.. Dolph moved to lay it on
the table.
The vote to lay on the table was
proceeded with amid excitemet and
confusion and some ill-feeling in re-
A"'ioH ~ PdiISi anu IL was rejected
yeas, 81; nays, 35.
The announcement was greeted
with applause on the Democratic side
| and in the galleries.
The vote was then taken. on Mr.
Wolcott's motion, to take up the Al
| portionment bill, and 1t was carried
yeas, 30; nays, 81.
The consideration of the Appor
tionment bill was tfen proceeded
with, and comes up again to day a.
unfinished business, and will have the
right of way until disposed of. It'll.
not now thought that the Force bill

the track during the session.

and blowing smoke through their
