Prisoners Cut Out Whenever They
Feel So Disposed.
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 4.-The Fulton
county Jail has become as a plaything In
the hands OF prisoners who have desire TO
escape. This morning two more prisoners
gained their liberty by cutting out of the
jail with pocket knives, and but for a
chance discovery by the Waterman
eleven others who were waiting
their turn to scale the isil
yard fence would have hidden sdieu to con-
finement. This time the escape was from
the ward in which revenue prisoners are
kept, the two who got way being Sherman
Odon OF Walker county end J. c. Thomas
OF Rabun county. The men cCt through
the doors of their Jail with pocket knives
and used blankets TO scale a 14-foot fence
which surrounds the Jail. Just as one of
the two who succeeded in getting
away was on the top of this fence the
jailer. who, at that moment, discovered the
escaping prisoners, fired and struck the
man on the hand, but the ball did not in
fiict such wound as to impede the moon
sinners flight. Thomas one OF the moon
sinners who escaped, was captured this
morning by Deputy Marshal Carter on an
air line train and brought back to At

In thu HOUSE.

Although there was q great deal OF noise
and hustle il the hall Of the House this
morning before the hour Of noon. 1t was
caused mainly by members-elect and visit
ors, there being but few members in at
tendance Prominent among the latter was
Mr.. McCresry of Kentucky, who was cor
daily greeted by his associates, and who ran
a gauntlet OF questions as 10 the doings of
the monetary commission, OF which he was
a member. His answers we're rather nom
committal.
At II o'clock the speaker, in clear voice,
called the House to order, and the chaplain
offered prayer.
Mr.. Scott, dem, OF Illinois asked consent
for consideration of the resolution setting
forth that the Fifty first congress provided
for the construction or extension of seventy
five public buildings; that forty-se7en have
not yet been contracted for and calling on
the Secretary of the Treasury for informa-
ton as to the reason why 30 many OF these
public works have not been begun, and why
more than $6,00O,000 remain unexpended
during the last two years while the public
service suffers.
Mr.. Dingley objected and the resolution
was referred.
Mr.. Martin, dem, OF Indiana called up
the private pension bills on the calendar of

stumbling block. He made no set speech

fact that the laws permitted almost any one
TO secure a pension 1t was time for congress
to call a halt in the enactment OF special
legislation. The treasury was in depleted
condition mainly on account of the sxtraor-
binary squandsring on account Of PEN
sions by congress. Congress should halt and
take step backward. The disability PEN
sion act should be amended and the pension
ers under it should be compelled TO show
not only disability but destitution. One
bill was passed and then the House, at 2
O'Clock, adjourned without quorum, being
able to muster but las votes.

son, young physician, who killed Marshal

arrested in Atlanta tonight. He has con
fessed his identity, and will return 20 the
scene Of his crime without requisition.
From accounts Of the killing, contained In
clippings from Texas papers found on Gar
rison's person, it appears that the tragedy
was cold-blooded one. and there is prob

summary justice at the hands OF the COM
munity where he committed the crime. as
the newspaper clippings show intense feel
ing against him.

peculiar manner. After the killing. which
was the outcome of a protracted spree on
Garrison's part, he fed to st. Louis. While

far away from Texas as he could, as he
would be surely hanged if not lynched if he
returned 10 Texas. Garrison then came to
Atlanta, reaching here Sunday, his inten-
ton being to practice his profession here
under the name of DIR. Miller.
DISCOVERED BY A wAsHwoMAN.

washed. In a pocket was the letter written
TO him by his brother while he was in St.
