PERRY OUT OF HIS CELL.
POSSIBILITY THAT He IS HIDIN G
IN TIE JAIL YARD.

Extra Guards on the Walls to Prevent
Him From Getting Awey-ze Was
the Most Carefully Guarded Man in
the Prison But Succeeded in Diggt nE
a Hole With a Spoon.
AUBURN, N. Y, Oct. 22.-.If there was
an inmate of Auburn prison who was sub
iected to more than usual surveillance il
chat institution, it was Oliver Curtis Perry
ths hold express robber, who was recently
sentenced In Lyons to half century be-
hind prison bars The officials have used
every precaution against the escape OF their
most dangerous prisoner, and yet he
managed to escape from his cell to-day
and he Is now either a free
man or else hidden in some
monk or corner OF the large yard. The entire
prison force is doing duty tonight to suard
against his escape. if perchance he has not
already scaled the walls. Several months
ago Perry was sent TO the prison dung con
Cor the attempted murder Of Bender, tLe
Utica desperate. His spirit was nos broken,
however, by this heroic treatment, and he
was placed in a screen cell, from which he
has never been removed except under
charge Of two keepers A careful exami-
nation has been made of his cell each day,
and the utmost precaution has been taken
TO prevent his escape.
TURNS UP MISSING.
This afternoon at AIS O'Clock. Keeper
Willard, an ex-assembly man from St.
Lawrence county, who is in charge OF the
north wing of the prison, looked in upon
Perry and found everything in order.
When the time came three quarters of an
hour later for locking up the convlcts who
work in the shops, iC was discovered that
Perry's cell was vacant. This astounding
discovery was communicated to the war;
den and Agent Durston and an iuVestiga-
ti0u was al once instituted. II was found
that Perry had dug a hole through the rear
of his cell into the cell OF another convict
who was at work in the tailor
shop Perry had crawled through tho hole
aHd through the open door Of the adjacent
cell gained the corridor and was soon out
side The instrument used in digging out
the mortar in the inch-thick partition was
q small spoon which was left in the cell. It
must have taken him several days, and it is
a mystery how his movements escaped the
eye of his keepers. There are evidences that
Perry received help from the convict in the
next cell,
There is a strong guard on the prison
walls tonight and also inside the yard. No
attempt will be made until morning to make
a thorough search Of the place.
There is very little doubt in the minds of
the prison officials that Perry is concealed
In some Of the hooks or corners OF the prison
yard.

Merchants Making Big Kick Against
the Railroads.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct 22.-The merchants
OF Atlanta are not going to submit to what
they term the exactions OF the railroads
centerinR here. They bave stood discrimi-
nations more firmly than it was thought
they could stand them. They have borne
these so-called exActions until at last they
have made up their mids TO throw off the
yoke and not tamely submit any longer.
A week ago, when the representative
Of all the southern railroads met in the
office of f. b. Stahlman, commissioner Of
the Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation, and passed resolution HboIishing
the system of delivering freight free, tho
merchants OF Atlanta protested, but to no
good. However, they have now taken the
matter up and propose to fight the rail-
roads. A petition is being circulated pledg
ing the signers to give their business to one
certain road, yet to be selected, east and
west. The petition already has been signed
by some of the biggest wholesalers in the
city.

a Florida Orange Grower Ends q
Career of Brutality.

Career of Brutality.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Ocs. 22.-Frank
Higsl, a Florida orange grower, and for
merly a manufacturer of this city, ended a
career Of brutality this afternoon by blow.
Ing out bis brains with revolver, after
having, as he supposed, left his wife, Addle,
lying dead ON the floor of her sisters house
Higel, who was about SO years Of age, came
TO this city about a month age in pursuit OF
his wife. The latter had left him year ago,
since which time she has lived at lO10 North
Fifth street with her sister, who is ths wife
OF ca undertaken. Samuel Kehrs. Accord
Ing to the story which she ted her relatives
In this city, Higel called this Afternoon, and
she met him ia the dining room. IE is not
known what was said ia the interview that
followed, but it is surmised that Higel re-
newed his demand that his wife return to
his home, and that she again refused.
THE FATAL sHoTs.
He then drew a 32-caliber revolver and
fired as she darted past him toward the
door. The bali struck the right side OF her
neck and Mrs. Higel screamed in terror
Hlgel fired sgain with a better aim. and she
dropped unconscious to the fieor with a
wound in the right temple. To all appear
anoes she was dead and seemingly satisfied
the murderer walked TO tho rear OF tine
apartment. Here he faced the prostrate
form Of his wife and fired e third shot into
his own brain, bringing instant death. A
physician removed the ball from the iu-
jursd woman's neck, the wouad being
merely g flesh wound, but failed to find the
second missile, which is believ ed
TO have passed entirely through
her brain. Mrs. Higel reRained conscious
mesa for time, but was not allowed to
speak, aud will probably die. Higel had
been IN Florida eight years, and had q
family Of nine children, the youngest being
a daughter OF 16, who, with another, lives
upon the Florida farm, which is located
near Osprey, Manatee county.

A QUIET DAY AT UaroAeo.
The Proposed Military Parade h bar

The Proposed Military Parade ban
doned-Stete Buildings Dedicated.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-There was no military
parade to-day. The pomp and pageentry
Of war were missing and street cars and
hansoms had the right OF way again. This
decision was reached at a consultation be-
tween Brig Gen. Charles Fitzsimmons and
Adjt. Gen. Reece. The reasons given were
the refusal Of Gen. Schofeld to allow the
United states soldiers to stay in Chicago
and take part, end the inability of many
state troops to stay over another day.
The military parade having been abRn~
dOned the exercises to-day in the way of
world fair matters were exceedingly
simple, consisting OF the dedication OF
several state buildings. Massachusetts, and
Iowa dedicated their buildings this morn
ing, and this afternoon Rhsde Island, New
Y ork and Ohio held similar exercises.
a LONDON COMMENT.
LONDON, Oct 22.-The Times throughout
its article on the Chicago Columbus oele-
braiion pokes fun at Mr.. Depew, but ex-
tends heartiest praise Of the United States.
The paper says that when Mr.. Depew ex-
tends his views from his 0 wn to other coun-
tries his sympsthies are little incomplete.
I'VE are not sure,n it adds, THAT he is
quite just in his historical review"
Continuing, the Times says: I'VE have
no wish to depreciate the value and inn
portance Of the many services the United
States have rendered to the old world and
ourselves. Not the least thing among
them ls the spectacle given of mate
RAJ prosperity, greater than ever before
known, and an energy and resolution which
nave done much to make the powers Of
Aature subservlent to man, and which
never perhaps, have displayed themselves
on 80 stupendous scale as in the yet un-
finished preparations for the Columbus ex-
position. 1t would be idle to say that
there are other countries that could do the
same II they tried. The fact remains that
the United States have done what was
never done elsewher and have proved to
the world that wonders can be executed by
industrial enterprises and skill animated by
patriotism and resolve to lead in every.
