Escaped From Jail.

Monday evening just after dark
Bert Moore, charged with burglary
at Hume, and Jas. Kerr, a horse
thief, made their escape from Jail. by
digging hole through the brick wall
just under the north window second
story of the building and up to date
both have their liberty although the
sheriff is making every effort to rs
capture them. It is Sheriff Colysr's
custom to lock the prisoners in their
cells about sun down but on this
evening he was little later getting
to the Jail than usual, consequently
it was dark when he took the prison
ers their suppers. All were present
at the tins aud he concluded to let
them remain in the corridor until
they finished their supper, while he
partook of his. He was only absent
about Eve or ten minutes, and when
he returned to lock them up, be
found two had just made their ss-
cape through the opening which
they had made through the wall.
Immediate search was made, but the
shades of evening assisted the pris
oners and it was no trouble for them
to sneak away. After making the
opening through the wall the men
lower themselves to the ground by
means of . blanket The third one
had started to 60 but Was stopped
BY the sheriff who bad discovered
their plans of escape. Sheriff Colyer
will use every means and spare no
expense 70 recapturs the escaped
prisoners, and hereafter will give
prisoners no liberties Whatever and
they will have to remain in the steel
cages, until released by the courts.

Joseph Norwood, agent of the American
Bible society in Venezuela and Colombia,
who arrived on the steamship Philadel-
phia. DR.. Norwood said that he was only
on the edge of the disturbance, but he had
received advices which showed the great
extent of the disaster. "Owing to the tele'

Norwood, ''it was impossible to get abso-
lutely correct statements, but enough
were received to show that several hun
ilred lives have been lost. The whole of
Venezuela from Caracas westward felt the
shocks.
"The worst damage was done in the
towns Of Merida Lagunillas and. Ejideh,
besides two of the smaller towns. These
were almost entirely destroyed. At La
gunillas the whole town sunk out of sight,
and lake is now where the town used
to be.
II was in Maracaibo at the time Of the
first strong shock. Other shocks were
felt throughout the night, and in fact
with varying force during the week fol-
lowing. After the main shock a great
many persons in Maracaibo moved their,
sleeping cots out from their houses into
the middle of the street, and slept there
all through the night. At my hotel one
other guest and myself were the only per-
sons to remain in the building that night.
All the clerks and servants left the house.
"After it was all over / found seven
cracks in the adobe walls of my room-one
of them big enough to put your arm,
through. The walls of the hotel alto.
