HALLS RESTAURANT CLOSED.
Swell Patrons Inclined to Eat, But
Not to Pay Their Bills.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 2s.-After brief ex-
istence of six weeks, the Richelieu cafe,
Sam NJ. Halls ultra fashionable restau-
rant, went into the hands of a receiver
This afternoon, on account of inability to
pay claims amounting to something like
$500 The failure of an ordinary restau
rant would hardly be worthy of mention
in Atlanta, but the Richelieu was no
every day affair. Its collapse will form
part Of the family record of the social 400.
Samuel Morgan Hall, whose aesthetic
brain gave to the world the Richelieu,
has been the Ward McAllister and Berry
Wall of Atlanta's 'smsrtest' society for
indefinite seasons past. He has been,
and is still accounted the Poo Bah extra
ordinary of Peachtree street swelldom
He set the figure for all the other swells,
and whenever he said wizzle wazzle, they
have always wizzle wazzled. So when
the announcement was made that Mr.
Hall proposed to go into the restau rant
business on a particularly swell scale
society stood aside with bated breath to
watch the result Some thought the ven
ture savored too much of liver and onions
to suit a society man of Mr.. Halls parts
and prestige, but society became recon
ciled when the names Of the elect began
10 appear on the wrong side of the ledger
and overlooked Mr.. Halls culinary
interests in the ball room. In
fact, society not only relented
from its first frown of horrid disapproval
but Mr.. Hall soon became more popular
than ever among those who had good APP
petites, but bad memories for l o US.
The result is what might have been ex-
pected from business view. Mr. Hall
has a long purse of his own, but could not
hold out against so much popularity at
the hands of his followers in society.

TWO MURDERERS ESCAPE.
ATCadia'S Iron Bars Saved by Men
on the Outside.

@. Quinn Bass and James North the
Fugitives-The Former Under SEN
tenoe of Life Imprisonment and
Hanging the Sentence of North-Bel-
ford E. Branch Too Sick to Escape.
Arcadia. Fla, Dec &C. Quinn Bass
and James North, two murderers, and a
negro named Kennedy, broke jail last
night and have not yet been caught.
Bass was convicted at the fall term Of
the circuit court. and, with Belford E.
Branch, was sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
ENorth was found guilty of the murder
Of Stephen A. Souls, of Zolfo, at the same
term of court, and sentenced TO be hanged.
Both men had, through their attorneys,
appealed their cases to the supreme
court -.
Branch. who was convicted with Bass
of the murder of Hardy johnson, was too
sick to escape with Bass and North and
remained in jail.
The discovery was made this morning
and the windows showed that they had
been sawed from the outside. North had
friends and relatives near Crewsville who
did everything IN their power to clear
him at court North was TO hang, and
his friends were afraid that at the last
moment he would tell the true story of the
cowardly assassination of Souls.
THE ONLY CLEw.
The only clew to the direction taken by
the fugitives is that a hand car was
stolen from the section house, ten miles
north of Arcadia, and the supposition is
that they have headed north, using the
car as far north as Barlow.
Bass is heavy built, powerful man
and will weigh between $50 and 200
pounds. He is about feet 2 inches in
hight, and has light brown hair and mus
tache and blue eyes. He is a plausible
talker and has low, soft voice.
North is about the same hight as Bass,
but will not weigh more than 140 or $50
pounds He is dark skinned and has dark
hair, mustache and eyes. North has a
hang-dog look. He is sullen and not dis
posed to talk North is ignorant, but
Bass is no fool Bass right name is Ste
phens, and he was reared near Kissimmee,

and effect of the drug was never eradi-
Gated.

act Of cutting his throat with a razor
when his wife appeared on the scene and
prevented the deed. 1t was only short
time after this incident, however, that
the victim got hold of the fatal shotgun.

ticed in that state all his life until ten
years ago, when he came to Atlanta for
his health. Charles A. Read, his son, is

five years each as common burglars.
Sheriff A. G.. Thompson and Deputy
Sheriff w. A Clay, of Jefferson county,
Arkansas, are here after the famous
prisoners The requisition will be re-
ceived tonight, and as Gov. Stone has
agreed to surrender the prisoners, they
will leave with them tomorrow for
Kansas. Their first appearance in
this state was when they robbed a Jew
elry store and cracked a safe at Column
bus, Miss, last October. They escaped,
but few days later were arrested at
Jasper, Ala, and were returned to this
state as Green, Hall and Curtis A few
days later they were tried under those
names at Columbus and sentenced to five
years. Deputy Clay has been steadily
after them for two months. He To-
Gated them in Alabama through
means of Claude Shepherds kin Ufolks,
who are respectable people. Afterward
he tracked them into the penitentiary
here. The correct names of the two
men wanted in Kansas and Arkansas for
murder and train robbery are Hans
Hydrick and Claude Shepherd. The
other, known only as Curtis, is believed

aEoRaIA's PoPULIsTs.
A State Ticket Apt to Be Put Out by
the Executive Committee.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 2S.-M. D. Irwin.
chairman of the state committee of the
Peoples party, has called a meeting of
the committee to be held in Atlanta on
Jan. 10. The call is accompanied by a
long loud wall against the democratic ad-
ministration.
One of the main questions to come be-
fore the meeting is the ACCESSIBILITY of
making fight in the approaching state
campaign. The populist leaders here
realize that their forces have been grow
ing small and no longer amount to much,
and have no hope at all of success, but it
is nevertheless assured that they will put
out some sort Of state ticket This is
the sentiment of those who pass as popu-
list leaders here, but there is a chance
that their plans may fall short and no
ticket be put out.
