when the notorious train rODbcr,

investigation disclosed to the
warden than the plan was to pass the
dynamite intUthe brick wall through
a sewer pipe on the night of the 2Sth
Of March. The dynamite was to be
taken next day by the conspirators
and ut a p%rearranged time to blow up
the tower wall. on which six guards
were stationed, and make a general
prison delivery. The warden kept
watch through the night OF the 2Stli,
but nothing was discovered, the plan
being tlwarted. il is believed, by the
erection Of an electric light by the
city authorities, who were adding ad-
ditiOnal lights which by chance shonc
precisely upon the aperture through
the walls. Guards covered this spot
throughout the night with shot guns.
When Warden jenkins had the proof
of the absolute conspiracy of these
men he placed each of them in solita-
ry confinement, where they were
strictly guarded. Using Summers as
Il means to ferret out the conspiracy,
Warden Jenkins removed his shacklcs.
The removal of shackles, however, had
nothing to do with his escape, aided
as he was by the guard, because as the
guard could have furnished him with
a file in his cell at night with which
he could have filed his shacklcs of,
tied them with Il string and walked
out into the tower, as, he did, without
detection.
The board of prison control, at it's
last meeting, taking into account the
desperate and cunning character of
Denny, Story and Tagcrt, in the in
terest Of life and property, passed an
order to send these men to Marcella
plantation, on Honey island, where
the State is farming on shares, and
where they will be kept shaCkled and
worked on the plantation"

THE DEEUNCIATORY TYPES.

The following from the New Or.
leans States so well expresses our sem
timents we adopt it. as our leader:
n large majority Of the press denun-
Citations of the Presidents veto of the
Bland seigniorage bin bear unmistak-
able internal evidence that their
authors either never read the veto
message through, or, having 50 read
1t, are incapable of understanding IT,.
These criticisms are of the same ense-
less, virulent and incohcrcnt character
us the denunciatiOns of Mr.. Cleveland
by that loud and Ioul-mouthed Popu.
lite and demagogue Governor Tillman
OF South Carolina. There are many
able and true men ard staunch Dem
ocrats who earnestly hoped the Presi-
dent would sign the Bland bill and
who have not been convinced by the
message that he acted wisely in veto
ing it. But they are men of patriot
ism and brains and Il sense of deccncy,
and their criticisms are accordingly
marked with tolerance and courtesy.
Such men may differ with a measure
of the administration, but they have
too much sense and patriotism to seek
to destroy the Democratic party be-
cause they cannot have their way, and
are too self-respecting and too nina
ful Of the decent department all men
owe to society to spattcr the admins
tration with vile and scurrilous dia-
tribes.
And there is also u class Of able and
true Democrats who favored the
Bland bill, but who having carefully
read the Presidents veto message and
weighed his reasons for his course,
have been convinced that he was right:
that he acted with sound judgment in
the interest of the country. Among
this latter class Of Democrats is the
able and patriotic Governor Of Ala
bama, Thomas G. Jones. Passing
through Atlanta, Ga, en- route to
New York, a few days ago, Governor
Jones IA interviewed by the Atlanta
Journal upon the questions of the
day, and, Of course, among them, the
Presidents veto. In relation to this
the Alabama Governor said:
Il tclcsraphed the President to ap-
prove the bill on the grounds Of cx-
p%cdicncy, but after ! saw his message
on the subject, ! saw that hehad done
cminently the proper thing and could
not have done anything else under the
circumstances"
Now the little cross-eycd, handy
shanked, red-hcadcd, SINCE cat, Popu-
lite and battered sheets with no
more Democracy In them than there
is Caucasian blood in a mulattO, of the
mental calibrc and sense Of dcccncy of
the POpulite Governor who disgraccs
South Carolina should open their filth
batteries on Governor Jones.

THIRSTING FOR IMMORTALITY,
BY Mrs. ELIZA II. ELLIS,

I'm weary, oh! SO weary,
And long to be ut rest;
The charms of earth for me are gone,
All that she once possessed.
long to leave this groaning world
And join the happy throng,
Who sing around the eternal throne
Rcdemption's pleasing song.
long TO meet the dear ones,
Who many years ago
In triumph cross'd DER .Jordan's food
And left me here below
To tread the thorny path of life,
Its cares and ills to bear.
To feel It's pains and heaving sigh
Without u mothers prayer.
For she is now an angel bright
And wears "a starry crown;
None purer ever pass'd away
To rest beneath the ground.
A life well spent, she calmly met
The m when 1t came;
And high in heavens resplendent light
She shouts the SaviOur's name.
I'm weary Of earth's transient joys,
