THREE JAIL BIRDS ESCAPE.
They Knock Down Braidentown's
Jailer and Get Away.

Braidentown, Fla, Nov. 27.-Yesterday
morning as Mr.. j. w Porter the jailor,
visited the jail for the purpose of giving
the prisoners their breakfast he was
showed down by one of the prisoners, and
the three there confined in the Jail
made their escape. They are all at large
but from last accounts are closely pur-
sued. The prisoners are Elijah Shambly
ginger-cake colored negro, who was con-
Victed at the recent term of the circuit
court for gambling-also larceny. He is
from all accounts a very bad and shrewd
negro, and it is quite probable that his
capture is doubtful. Jim Simmons, a
negro boy convicted last week for carry
ing. concealed weapons, and who is also
being held under a charge Of horse-steal-
ing, rs in the crowd of escapers. Pleas
Sparkman, a white boy who pleaded
guilty to the charge of house-breaking
and sentenced to the state penitentiary for
a term Of six months, has also probably
saved the state the trouble of being con.
Veyed TO the states prison

DOING OUT STATE DUCATS.
The House Still at Work on the AppTO-
pTiatiOn Bill.

The College at Dahlonega to Get 50, 900.
An Effort to Increase to SIS, 900 the
Fund for the Academy for the Blind
Fails-The Proposed Increase to the
State Lunatic Asylum Anowed-onIy
Fifteen Days More Left for This ses-
sion.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 27.-The entire ses-
sion Of the House to-day was taken up
in discussing a few sections of the appro-
priation bill The biggest fight that ever
the military appropriation has had, is
yet to be made
To-day an effort was made TO with
draw the appropriation of 5000 from the
agricultural cottage at Dahlonega, but
seeing that it would fail Mr.. Hurst of
Walton, the author of the amendment
for this purpose. withdrew it and the ap-
preparation was voted.
An unsuccessful effort was made to in
crease the sum going to the Academy for
the Blind, to SIS, 600. instead of $4,000.
Then several hours were spent in talk
ing on the proposition of Mr.. Hodges of
Bib to restore the annual appropriation
of 5000 taken away from the Middle
Georgia Agricultural College by the leg
islature two years ago. This question
was still pending when the House ad-
journed.
There are only fifteen more days, in
Guiding Sundays, of the session left and
the appropriation bill must be pushed
through. In order to get on with it the
row, 9 O'Clock.
A lot of time was wasted to-day try
ing to get resolutions for afternoon and
night sessions through, but the House
evidently had that tired feeling" and
would not agree to any of them.
The amendment of Mr. Hopkins of
Thomas to increase the appropriation for
the state lunatiC asylum for 1895 to $40,
900 and for 1896 to $4,000, and to allow
$1,000 to restore the wornout pumps used
in the water works system of the institu-
ton, was adopted to-day. The finance
committee has recommended only 5000 900
for each of the years 1856, but receded
from its recommendations before the ar
gument brought to bear on the floor. Mr..
HUMPHREYS of Brooks, chairman of the
asylum committee, read a letter from
DR.. Powell of the asylum showing that it
would be impossible to run the asylum on
the $500 000 appropriation. There would be
ouU more inmates Wncn the new buildings
were completed, and that would mean
more bread, more clothing, more medi-
cine and more servants and more of ev-
erything else.
The indications are that the legislature
at this session will not pass any meas
ures looking to the relief of the supreme
court This morning the Senate refused
to pass the bill introduced by Senator
Mercer to allow the supreme court to an
nounce its decisions and not write them
out when the amount involved is less
than $500.
The West bill for the quarterly pay
ment of school teachers and the opening
OF the common schools any time after Jan.
/ passed the Senate to-day. 1t now only
needs the signature of the governor to
become a law, and set at rest the uneasi-
ness that the teachers have been under
going with regard to next years schools
and their pay.

a TURPENTINE STILL DESTROYED
Much Property Saved BY the Hard
Work of a Bucket BriRade


Work of a Bucket Brigade.
Walthourville, Ga. Nov. 27-ShortIy af-
ter midnight last night the turpentine
distillery of Col. e. p. Miller was seen
to be on fire, and was soon surrounded
by willing hands, but the intense heat
from the burning rosin and turpentine
was too severe to allow any effort to be
made toward saving the building, which
was in few moments entirely covered
by the fire By hard work most of the
rosin which was on the yard, and about
half the crude turpentne was saved. Only
about fifty barrels of rosin were burned
There were about 800 barrels of crude tur-
pentine so close to the fire that it was
impossible to reach it. A carload of empty
turpentine barrels had just been unloaded
and were stored under the glue shed
These were all consumed, as no one could
enter. The cooper shop was saved by a
crowd of men with buckets and spades
The rosin came pouring on, but was
checked by a dam built against it. There
was no blaze at all, which greatly favored
those working on the wind mill and water
tank Although both were on fire when
first seen, yet, though having a good sup
ply of water in the tank and by quickly
forming a bucket brigade, they were saved
with only slight damage. On Aug. %
this same distllery was burned, with
much more severe loss of rosin and spirits,
aud but for the timely arrival of the rail-
way section men the railroad track would
have suffered considerable damage at
that point. The main point of difference,
between these two fires, both of which
We're without doubt the work of an in
cendiary. is that on the former occasion
there were two explosions, which were
heard at a distance of several miles, one
following the other after a lapse of only
a few seconds. These were pronounced by
Mr.. c. r. Warrand to be dynamite cart
ridges In the last case the fire seemed
to spring up of itself, and the light was
what attracted attention. The increndi-
airy had probably noted the effect of the
eNplosions. and did his work moro nnlatlN-

CENTS AND CENTIMES.

An Eastern editor who has ventured
West, perhaps il search of material for his
pen, has dropped upon the subject of the
non-use of cents in California as one upon
which he can afford instruction. That the
Eastern man should cling to his cent is not
surprising; but why should the Record
Union take up the same line of argument?
And vet that journal holds up to our be-
nighted eye the example of France. which
has its ceniime. con so small in value
that in comparison d cent seems absolute
wealth. Cents will pro bably come to Cali
fornla in time. They will come hen labor
comes down to two or three dollars week.
and when the habits of our people are sucn
that little money may be saved out Of
that income. Things naturally maintain a
certain relation to each other. Where
man can earn but little he can spend but
little, and the necessity OF having coin to
represent the smallest purchase brings the
coin into existence and into use. The
French centime, which is about ODe-fifth of
one cent and one-tenth of the English
penny, buys something in France. There
fore it has its use. 1t would not buy any,
thing in this State, and consequently has
no place in our economics. People some
times think that they can combine liberal
compensation for labor. large profits in
business and general freedom in expendi-
lures with low prices. The two conditions,
however, are incompatible. When labor
Is fairly well paid the products of labor
are proportionately dear. Labor lies at
the f0undatiOn-is. in fact. the foundation.
In cities where cab can be hired at the
rate of twenty-five cents for two hours,
the driver is poorly paid. The horse is
low-prieed for the reason that everybody
concerned in his production had been
poorly paid. The mechanics who made
the cab were but little better off, The
farmer who raised the hay and grass the
horse fed upon considered a French CEN
time as quite sum of money. 1t is not
worth while TO bring things down to this
low level. While there are poor people 10
California, it is still the land of plenty
The labOrer is comparatively we'll paid and
he buys the good things Of life in proper
ton to his means. The cent will come
with the change in conditions which large
population will bring about, but it is not
worth while to go in search Of it.

PUSH THE WORK ANYHOW.

The resolution on the Nicaragua canal.
presented by MIR. Geary, is perhaps not in
tended to shelve the project for the pres
emit, but what possible good can further
information do? The company in exist
ence has done some work with the few
millions it has expended, and the precise
amount of cutting and engineering is
known In reports extant. There has been
no secrecy about the proceedings OF the
company, and any further light obtainable
can have very little bearing on the duty OF
the United States to push the canal ahead
To completion, either undertaking sole re-
sponsibility or stepping in to the assistance
of he COM any and controlling all its opera
lions, as proposed in pending legislation.
1t is waste of breath 10 harp on the argu-
ment that the canal is needed. Everybody
but railroad directors and managers admits
that. The cost of the canal has been as
certained, with careful estimates. and it is
an indispensable condition that the United
States must have the control in the interest
OF the whole country ami not of special
transportation interests. The time is ripe
for action.

SUGAR BEETS.

A Democratic contemporary assumes
that the preparations of certain beet
sugar refineries to increase their business
is an admission that beet sugar can be
produced in California without either
bounty on TIE home product or duties on
the foreign product But the action of the
reineries may be determined rather by
confidence that in the end some degree of
protection will be secured than by cal
cnlation which shows that the industry
can be prosecuted successfully without
protection in some form. No one expects
the Wilson tariff bill to stand for long
period. even If it becomes a law at all. If
it is enacted industries will commodate
their expenses to it. The capital invested
in plants will not be lost without an effort
to save it. There will be a reduction in
expenses all round and as labor is the
principal item labor will have to stand the
brunt Our contemporary quotes from
a protectionist who believes that If the

tOxication and chronic idleness are grounds
for the expulsion of colonist: thus the
institutions are welded of incurable
tramps. 1t is discovered, also, that the
normal tendency of the colonists, when
they have got over the Generalization re-
suiting from hunger aud homeiessness, is
to drift from the country to the cities; the
colonies are thus rarely overcrowded.
In New York business mems commit
tee has tackled one end of the question
with vigor and business common-sense.
Seven restaurants and groceries have been
established in the city of New York which
are now supplying 10000 people with food
at something less than cost. The commi +
tee Issues scent tickets which are good
for hot meal, TO be eaten on the premises
or carried home. The food consists of a
stew OF meat and vegetables, with coffee
and bread. Where the meal is taken
home it is thrice as large as where it is
eaten on the premises. the design being
that it shall feed three persons. This
charity is mainly supported by the whole
sale dealers in foods; the tickets are dis
tributed among the various charitable In
siitutions. How much good can be done
by small sum of money judiciously ex-
pended may be inferred from the fact that
the subscriptions to the business mems
fund from December IL to February %
only amounted to S17,233 though in that
period of over two months 10000 people
were fed daily.
