RALEIGH. N. c., March 14.-At brick
yard mile south Of Raleigh, while gang
of twenty-seven convicts guarded by four
men were OF work loading cars with clay,
three desperate conyicts made q break.
They had made plans tor this. Their
names ara Tom Mitchell (coloredD, OF War
rem county, serving thirty-year term for
burglary; John Medlin. young white
man, q native of South Carolina. but sen
fenced from Union county for seven years,
and James Brooks, also white, from Martin
county. The men boldly dashed through
n marsh intending to pass under railway
bridge over a creek and put high en-
bankment between them and the guards.
TELLING FIRE.
TIE latter began rapid and accurate fire
with their rifles. Mitchell was shot through
the abdomen and thigh, the bones of the
latter beng shattered. Medlin was shot
through the thigh aud badly wounded.
One bullet grazed Brooks's thigh and an
other struck his ear, knocking him into
the creek. Mitchell also fell into the
water He is mortally wounded. None OK
the other convicts made any attempt 10
escape, but continued their work without
pause.
The men shot are classed as bad con-
victs and had been warned of the danger
of attempt at escape. 1t cost the state
$500 not long ago to capture Brooks.
FARAuNg MATTERS.
Inquiry made to-day shows that winter
grain and grasses are much better "a 10
stand and condition than usual, but that
farm work of oil kinds is badly behind
hand. 1t is not probable that much cot
ton land can be put in good shape by
planting time, so hampered have the
farmers been by tho rains, since planting
time is only about month away.
Rev. j. i. Foster, pastor of the Christian
church here, was to-day elected president

THE RICHMOND MAY FESTIVAL.
Tho Boston Company to Assist the Mozart
Chorus in Three Concerts.

Richmond will this year have the May
Musical Festival instead of Petersburg
in fact, the only one of Importance IN the
South. Hampton proposes couple OF per-
formances in small way. and Charlotte,
n. c., will have q very elaborate series OF
concerts early in May, but Richmond Will
surpass all in the varied attractions and
artistic value of her second May Festival.
For some weeks the Mozart Chorus have
been at work upon the "Stabat Mater
and Bruch's Fair Ellen" and quietly
augmenting their numbers with selected
voices. II is not proposed to organize as
large q chorus as last year, but in quality
of work and general efficiency the present
one will be superior.
Mr.. Clarence A. Marshall. who is man.
aging the scheme, has been negotiating Tor
some time with different artists and has
Just concluded arrangements with the Bos-
ton Festival Company, which starts out IN
April for tour of the principal cities and
music festivals in the country. This CON-
pany includes remarkable number of yo-
calists and Instrumentalists and the Ger
mania Orchestra, Boston's old band, COM
prlsing the resident musicians in that musi-
cal city under the leadership Of Carl Ter
RAIN and Victor Herbert. The company as
appearing in Richmond will comprise
seven artists. vocal and instrumental, and
an orchestra of thirty-six under Herbert.
Free concerts will be given on "Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday, May 18th, .l4th, and
18th The first will be grand popular
concert with four or FIVE soloists, chorus,
and orchestra. The second will be SYM
phony night, including symphony and
selections for piano-forte and orchestra by
one of the greatest pianists now in Amer
lea. The third night will be devoted to
the production Of the choral work Fair
Ellen and the popular "Stabat Mater"
The festival will be essentially public
one, being supported by q guarantee fund
somewhat on the principle of the Peters
burg festival. Mr.. Marshall already has
assurances from sufficient number OF
gentlemen interested in musical matters
to warrant him in undertaking his re-
sponsible and arduous task. The prices
will not be extremely high, though it can
be readily perceived such concerts cannot
be supported on low prices. Subscription
lists Will soon be opened at the music
stores for season-ticket purchasers, to
whom extraordinary inducements will DO
given.
