Jail Delivery.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. Attempted
murders and a partially successful jail
delivery have caused much excitement
at the United States penitentiary on
McNeil's Island. Warden Palmer, of
the prison, and four guards had a re-
markable escape. The prisoners, led
by John Wade, a notorious smuggler,
who, once before, made q successful
escape, secured poison and placed it in
the food of the warden and his
assistant. But for the fact that the
prisoners used too much poison, none
of the intended victims probably would
have escaped. All were made very
sick. During the excitement which fol,
lowed four ofthe prisoners, withWade at
their head, made their escape from the
island and have been at large since.
The prisoners intended to kill the
guards and then set all the men at lib
erty.

VANDERBILT FAMILY CoUNCIL.-A
dispatch from Boston, Mass, says
sThere was a meeting of the Wander.
bilt family at the Brunswick Hotel
Saturday night, consisting of these
members MI. and Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt, Mrs. William 81. Vanderbilt,
George w. Vanderbilt, Miss Wander
bilt, Miss G. NJ. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Brow
ley and Master R. G. Vanderbilt. This
meeting took on more of the nature Of
a conference than that of the usual
family gathering and it was for the pur.
pose of considering what action should
be taken by the family in the late
trouble between w. &. Vanderbilt and
his wife. An intimate friend of the
family and one who knows the inside
history of this divorce trouble from the
start gave this opinion:
"sThe result of the conference will
be that the family, as q body, will op'
pose the divorce with all its power
They will not oppose separation, and ]
think will encourage q separation, but
not a divorce. a divorce, with legal
proceedings, will bring great volumes
of scandal, and this they will avoid for
the sake of the children"

tain conditions, chief among which was
When there was intent to injure the

though the case is reversed in part and
the cause remanded with directions to

Jenkins opinion, the effect of the de-
cision is to prevent all strikes unless
they bs absolutely %peaceable.

for Carson, and the result was a very
close vote Of 1SS for Gold to lS2 for
Carson. The localities for the candi.
dates was attempted to be made an is.
sue, but it cut o small figure. TIE
snap convention in Winchester. by
which Carson won that delegation, was
the pricipal cause of the fight and of
Carsons's defeat.
The gentlemen who led those who
were defeated were also seen, and
when askedi if they had anything to saw.
declined to talk for publication at the
present, but remarked that it was
simply a contest for supremacy Of the
old soldier element against the young
democracy. 1t was the largest, the
hottest and most closely contested con-
vention ever held in Frederick county.

Politics in Winchester.


A dispatch from Winchester to the
Richmond Times says:
Several hours before the assembling
of the convention to select delegates to
the Senatorial convention st Berryyille,
the sidewalks and yard around the
courthouse were filled with men, and
all seemed to have a hustle on them,
each side trying to organize their forces
before the hour for the convention to
meet. All devices known to modern
politics were freely used, and not until
the final vote was cast could the result
be even guessed.
Promptly at II m. the convention
was called to order, the Carson men
securing the temporary organization by
placing Hon. John N. Silver in the
chair. A sharp debate started i'm
mediately on the plan of balloting,
which later on assumed quite a personal
nature, and, had it not been for the
forbearance of some of those engaged
in it, might have resulted in a row.
Major Wootring, a Gold man, was
elected permanent chairman. The bal
loting began shortly after he took his
seat, and resulted, 1873 for Gold and 1S2
for Carson.
After tie convention adjourned a
correspondent called on the Hon.
Robert T. Barton, who successfully
managed the Gold forces and led
them to victory, and asked him for
a statement of the cause of the fight,
for publication. He kindly hand.
ed him the following Thomas D..
Gold, of Clarke county, secured the en-
tire delegation from Frederick county,
giving him a large majority in the SEN
atorial convention and securing his
nomination to succeed Hon. Thomas
w. Harrison for the unexpired term.
His competitor was A. G. Carson, s q
of Warren county.
The fight was made, in part, pom
the line of O'Ferrall against Daniel. but
this was a false issue, and was only
used for what it was worth by both
sides. Very many of Daniels friends
warmly supported Gold, and the real
fight was for clean politics against the
ring. All the political managers we're

STORM AT ATLANTIC CITY.-A dis
patch from Atlantic City, N. j., dated
last night says: The northeast storm
which has been raging along the coast
for several days is increasing in fury to-
night. Heavy gales are playing havoc
with the telephone and telegraph wires
and the surf is dangerously high. The
water is on a level with buildings in
the inland district, and is breaking over
the boardwalk all along the ocean
front. The electric railroad on Brigan-
tine Beach has been washed out in ev-
eral places on the lower end of the
beach, and it is feared that the big

Letter from Fauauier.

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette
MARSHALL, Oct, 1.-The summer
social season closed with 8 cbildren's
party given to the wee ones of the
ne%ighborhood by masters Marie Wyeth
and F. Cecil Horner. 1t was a true
delight for the old folks present to wit
ness the fun and frolic of the juveniles
and afterwards their enjoyment of the
goodies.
Lately we have been favored by a
call from DR.. ]. C. Wise, surgeon U. S
N, the nephew of Virginia's honored
son of the forum and camp. DR.. Wise
a typical son ofNeptune, Of the medical
corps ofour navy, is handsome, talented
and with the elan of courtly Virgin
ian. Entering the service in 1870, his
cruises have carried him nearly to every
part of the world during his twenty-four
years of naval life. He is now on duty
at the Washington navy yard, having
a home in Warrenton for his interest
ing family when sojourning in the
country.
The late suicide of Mr.. Hefflebower
has cast u deep gloom over our en-
tirs community, all of whom are in
deep sympathy for the widowed mother
and relatives of the young man, who
presents another example Of n who
might have been saved by a timely
word of cheer; by the prescription ola
physician and above all by turning from
the path of the destroyer and needing
the voice of Hin who alone saves from
evil here and hereafter. The practice
| of young men carrying about them the
deadly revolver is the occasion of the
loss Of many a valuable life, and ought
to be discouraged.
Since Bethel Academy has begun its
session, as usual the big boys of our
midst have put in an appearance at
that most excellent academy-of which
we add Senator J. w. Daniels opinion:
Il do not hesitate to recommend Beth
ell Military Academy as a school for
boys and young men,"
1t is hoped by many friends that Mrs.
Frost's excellent school for young la
dies in Marshall will continue to pros
per. The principal, the wife of our es-
teemed friend, DIR. Henry Frost, is n
of the most gifted and refined ladies of
the Palmetto State, and already has
she won the position of an advanced
educationist.
The congregations of Marshall con
tiuue to prosper. A weekly prayer
meeting will be held by the Methodists
or Wednesday; by the Baptists on
Thursday, and a Bible class meets
every Friday at the Episcopal Church.
The congregation of the colored PEG
pie here was never more prosperous,
and the example of its members is tru-
ly excellent.
Since the barrooms have been closed
the curse of drunkenness has in great
part ceased, of course.
Just now, our farmers are jubilant
over the late. fine rains, and our mer-
chants will soon have their displays of
new goods.

MONDAY EVENING. OCT. /, 1884.

The RICHMOND Dispatch, comment
ing upon the fact that Mr.. Wilson &C.
cepted an invitation to a banquet In
England, says: "We are inclined to
think that Mr.. Wilson did commit a
blunder.n PROFESSIONALLY "%inclined'"
for no body would think 80 unless that
way inclined. Mr.. Wilson, q dlstln-
puished American, was in England Tor
his health. While there a banquet was
given to him, and at that banquet he
made a speech, in which he told his
hearers that be was in favor of remoy
ing restrictions upon trade so as to en-
able the products of his own country
to compete with those of England IN
all the markets of the world. Ii he
committed a blunder, E%nglishmen
should have thought so, certainly not
q Southern democrat.

RELEAsED.-Joseph B. Lynch and
three other members of the Sancti6ed
Band, from Chincoteague Island, who
were recently committed to jail on the
charge Of being public reprobates, have
been released on bail. On coming out
of Jail they proceeded to the courthouse
yard, where they held a prayer and
song service, in which Sadie Collins,
Lynch's "fcllow-watcher," played q
conspicuous part. She is by far the
most intelligent member of the band,
and her prayers and speeches showed
her to be a woman of more than ordi-
nary ability. Lynch and his followers
say when the trial comes off they are
going to make it warm for their accu-
sers. They evidently look forward to
the trial as a great opportunity for
them to explain and defend their
strange aud questionable doctrines and
practices.

MR.. SHEPARD, the representative OF
the sugar trust in New York, has de-
clared against the ticket unanimously
nominated by the democratic conven-
ton of his State, and, following the ex-
ample of the mugwumps and anti
snappers in 1892, threatens to call an
Their convention and nominate another
ticket, and thereby try to defeat the
regular ticket. It is impossible that
such a mar could induce others to as
sist him, if they had not good reason to
believe that his inspiration comes from
higher quarters.
