The Police Lose Prisoner Right at

Yesterday afternoon, when the van from

Hall. Policemen Hall and De Bots took
charge Of the Railways and prepared to run
the prisoners from the van into the prison.
Among the job lot of criminals was Joe
DAVIS, under arrest for yagrancy, and lie
conceived the idea that it was quite easy to
elude the vigilance of the officers and
escape. II he failed he was no worse of
than before. and there was a chance of
getting away When the door Of the prison
van was opened Davis was the first one out.

slipped into the crowd of men anu boys that

tie clutches of tie officer he made good use
Of his freedom. The man was not missed
until the galekeeper of the station called
out, "I'm short man." and then the search
for Davis began. Beyond question several
in the crowd around the doorway could
have told something about Davis escape,
but they we're dumb as oysters, and Officers
Hall and De Bots were sent out 10 look up
the man who had escaped under their eyes
and while they could have laid their hands

FIREPROOFING A POSSIBILITY.
CombustibIe Material Heedlessly Used
in uEire.proOf'' BUILDINGS.

Scarcely a week goes by. writes Charles
II. Bebb in an article on Fire Losses in
Fire-Proof Buildings" In the current num-
Der Of the Engineering Magazine, that one
or another of the journals devoted to archi-
lecture does not contain some article by ex-
pefienced and able writers, bearing upon
the freproofng of buildings, and without
doubt there would lie formulated from these
articles system Of principles that would
be thoroughly efficient 10 meet the re-
quirements. In the attempt TO recover
right princi les the advice and assistance Of
the now noted fFeproofiug companies
should no. be neglected. The demand was
no sooner created for a science OF fireprOof-
lug than it was immediately met ny the for
nation OF companies for the very purpose
of supplying it. The new industry, with
experience as It's teacher, has developed
year by year, until at the present moment
there is not tirst-class architect or engineer
in the country who will deny that an abS0-
lutely fire-prOof building can be built, and al
reasonable cost. Yet fires of the most dis
astrous character are constantly occurring
In buildings advertised by their owners as
fire. proof Il is not surprising, therefore,
that large element-probablya vast ma
jority--of the entire community doubt the
possibility OF constructing an absolutely
re-pr0of building. 1t is an incOntroverti-
bic fact that every fire which has taken
place in fire proof" building has been
due to the irdiscriminate use of combusti-
bic material in its construction moreover,
1t may be demonstrated that fire. proof ma
material burned at cost not exceeding 20

finally fined Coffey. adding that the alto r
ney should not be allowed to practice until

Traction Engines in England.
New York sun.

No less than 1900 traction engines, II is
stated, are in USE in England for hauling
heavy freight or for passenger service, or
for steam blowing, or as road-rolers. and
are built, as a rule, in one of three sizes.
The smallest is an engine weighing nine
tons when fully equipped, and has cylinders
Sxl0 inches 10 size: the next machine
weighs ten and one-fourth tons, and has
cylinders ShX12 inches; the largest of these
machines weighs eleven and one-half tons
when carrying 900 pounds of coal in its
bunkers and los gallons of water in its
tank; its cylinders are 9Xl2 inches. and a
load of forty tons can be pulled up grade
OF one In fifteen on a good hard road. The
most economical load for good roads and
moderate grades Is said to be about twice
the weight of the engine, under such cir
cumstances the largest size requiring from
500 to 900 pounds of coal In ten hours.
Single-cyinder engines are most in favor,
but demand for those on the compound
principle. 1t is beieged, will take place be-
fore long.

A NEW LIQUOR LAW.
Some Extraordinary Features of an
Enactment Recently Passed.

Some Extraordinary Features of an
Enactment Recently Passed.
Probably the most unique and extraor-
binary liquor law ever passed has jus: been
enacted in South Carolina. says the Indian
apolis Journal 1t gives the State an entire
monopoly Of the traffic, to be farmed cut
under certain conditions aud subject TO GER
tain regulations. The machinery Of the law
is cumbersome, complicated and expen-
sive It creates nearly 400 new Offices. The
Governor is required 10 appoint a commits
sioner, or State dispenser, salary $500.
whose duty it shall be to purchase all
liquors for lawful sale in the State No
LIQUORS can be sold except such as are pur-
chased and dispensed by him. He is pro-
Yided with observation-disclosures, boOkkeeper
etc There Is 10 be a State chemist to look
after the purity of the State liquors and a
STATE Board Of Control. 10 look after the chem
ist. Each county Is to have dispenser and
a board of control, consisting OF three per-
sons, who are authorized 10 issue a'permit
to sell liquors TO at least one dispenser in
their several counties, with eleven extra dis
peasers for Charleston and Riehland, to-
Qether Each county dispenser is author
iZed TO have assistants. The county boards
are TO specify the building 10 which intOXi-
eating liquors may be sold In any place, ana
no liquor may be sold by any person or at
sny place not authorized Dy the board Of
control The clerks Of the County Commits
sioners are made the clerks Of the county
boards Of control at an extra allowance 0
So per day for each day employed. Finally
The Governor IS authorized TO appoint all the
special cOnstables necessary to enforce the
law.
The law provides that "all profits, after
having ali expenses of the county dis
pensary, shall be paid one-half TO the
County Treasurer and one-half 10 the mu-
nicipa corporation In which Il Is located,
such settlements to be made monthly"
From this it would seem that the real OBJ
iect of the law is to raise revenue, though
there is a pretense Of restricting the traffic.
The law went into effect January 2. IL en-
forced every saloon in the State will be
closed and liquor will only be sold by legal
dispensers or course, all the saloon and
liquor men are violently opposed to ii, and
will fight it from the start, hoping to have 1t
declared unconstitutional
As the enforcement Of the law would cut
of an important source of revenue-that
from lcenses-in cities and towns, 1t will
probably excite much opposition outside OF
saloon and liquor circles. The Charleston
News and Courier sees IN the law the fore
shad0wiDg Of a huge whisky political ring.
II says:
''Ihe control Of all the whisky in The State
about election time would be a powerful
factor in the determination OF the result Of
an election In any State The Evans bill
gives such control TO the administration and
the faction now In power in South Carolina,
and if they do not make 1t serve 10 keep
them in power for years to come. it will not
be the fault of the trainers Of the measure
at any rate"

We must bear in G.ind that new coal-tar
colors are being conszantly invented and in
troduced into comm3rce, and that the con-
fectioner and wine merchant will employ
such colors before caemsts and physicians
have had sufficient Opportunity TO decide on
their composition End their physiological
action. Our opinioA is, therefore. in sub
stantial agreement with tho Austrian law
that the use of all tile artificial colors ought
to be prohibited in the preparations of food
and beverages. For such purposes surely
the natural c0lors are amply sufficient
Some. at least of t:e coa-tar colors are
distinctly poisonous. Sand others doubtful.
