William Saunders, in Jail awaiting tria
on an Indictment charging him with for
gerry had every preparation made to leave
his quarters last evening, but his plans
were frustrated by Sheriff Townsend and
turnkey Reeves. When the prisoners
are out of their cells turnkey Reeves gen.
orally takes the opportunity to look
around and see that everything is all
right. Yesterday in looking over Saund-
ers' cell, Reeves discovered that the pris-
oner had sawed his iron bedstead, with
the intention of getting bars with which
to cut his way through the ceiling.
The Sheriff was notified and Saunders
was called down stairs, and was told that
his scheme had been discovered. He
changed color but did not deny that he
had intended to leave. He was locked
up BY himself He bad been in cell
with Lemuel g. Reeves, and had done his
work so quietly that the latter was not
aware of what was going on. Saunders
had made saws out of knives and had
sawed his bedstead with them.
After he was locked in another cell,
Saunders former quarters were searched,
and the saws were found. The prisoner
had written letter to "Mr. Townsend,
Sheriff, and Mr.. William Reeves, War
den" In it he stated he was about to do
his utmost to escape. and said Though
every right feeling of regard for my fam
ily compels me to do this, cannot bring
myself to leave your charge without a
word of apology which my respect for
you demands" Then he asks the Sheriff
to take the case to himself, and
for him to imagine himself sep
arated from wife, mother, sister
and child, and imprisoned by men
who merely came near losing something
There was not a doubt, he thought,
where his duty lay. He was in duty
bound to try to get out. He felt no COM
junction in attempting to leave, as he
had never given his word not to escape,
and hence was not violating any princi-
pie of honor. He said that he would as
certain if there was any pecuniary forfeit
incurred by the Sheriff on account of the
escape of prisoner and if there was he
would remit at the earliest opportunity.
Saunders was put under guard and will
be closely watched until his case has been
disnosed of nv the Court

Fire at Columbus.

Columbus was visited with disastrous
fire on Wednesday evening, which threat
ened for while to be even worse than it
was.
About II o'clock, Miss Mary Bovine,
who had been entertaining company, was
about to retire, when she heard the horses
In Robert Kerlin's barn, next door to her
residence, making considerable noise. She
went to her back door and at first could
not see anything, but after looking mo-
ment she saw light in the barn.
Satisfied that there was fire she gave
the alarm, and after considerable effort,
succeeded in waking Mr.. Kerlin. A gen.
eral alarm was given and in short time
the entire town was out. Mr.. Kerlin
went to his barn and found it to be in
flames. 1t was impossible to save any
thing, and he lost three horses, six
wagons and five sets of harness. Just a
few days before the fire he had stocked
his barn to the roof with hay, straw and
grain, and that. too, went. Mr.. Kerlin
fixes his loss at about 81 900, with 5000 in
surance.
| Elwood Mount, builder and contractor,
occupied a barn adjoining Kerlin's, but
separated by a wagon shed. When he
got to the scene, which was almost as
soon as Kerlin did, he went in to save his
horses. There was not any indication
that his barn was on fire, but when he
got inside be was surprised to see that il
was in flames and his two horses were on
fire. There was an apparent chance to
save one animal, and Mr.. Mount got in
with it, and attempted to get it to jump
over the manger The horse tried it, but
failed, and Mr.. Mount fell on the floor.
Before he could get up the fire was on
him and he was compelled to leave the
horse and get out of his perilous position
Mr.. Mount lost two horses six wagons,
considerable lumber, all of his carpenter
tools and many other things, amounting
to about $780, without insurance.
The fire communicated to a barn be-
longing to Fanny AaroDson, and occupied
by John Sharp, which was entirely de-
stroyed. together with two wagons. A
barn belonging to Miss Bovine, near by
was also burned. The horse and wagon

HOW LEAD PENCILS AXE MADE.
Each Company Has Its Own Process and
IiSes Secret IachineB7.


There is probably less known about
the manufacture of lead pencils than
any other extensive manufacturing bust
ness,'' said John M. Ready of New
York. 81 say extensive business, for
many people do not know that there is
as much as $4,000, 900 expended for
lead pencils in the United States every
year. All the machinery used in the
production Of lead pencils is careful
ly guarded secret. 1t is not patented,
but each company has its own process,
and very little is known Of it by out
siders. The general idea of the method
of manufacture can be given.
1.-THE graphite, plumbago or black
lead, whichever you may cali it, comes
from three places-India, Germany and
one part Of the United States. The
American lead is considered the NEST
pure, having about one third more car
bon and much less silica than the for
eign article. The plumbago as mined
is brought to the factory, when the sill
lea is separated from the graphite by
system similar to that employed in sep
arating free gold from ore. It is crush
ed into q fine powder and then mixed
with water, which flows over bumper
tables. The weight of the lead causes
it to collect on the tables, and the silica
and baser materials flow off with the
water. The lead is then taken and mix
ed with clay in mortar.
''The clay is used as temper to the
lead. The more clay used the harder
the lead becomes, as when the mixture
is baked the heat affects the clay, hard
ening it, while it has no effect upon the
graphite. The mixture is then placed
in hydraulic press, which forces it out
like black Irvine. This is run upon
tables, where it is cut in lengths of
inches, the length of a regular lead pen
Gil, and Strengthened. 1t is then placed
in the ovens. have seen a continuous
piece OF this mixture of clay and graph
lite mile long come from the press.
The pieces of lead are taken from the
oven and placed in the wood, which is
made in two pieces, then cemented to-
gether. There is a peculiar fact about
cedar, the wood most suitable for pen
ellis. The farther south you go to OBJ
tain the wood the less knots you find and
the less pitch in the wood. AS you
come north the amount of pitch in
creases, and the grain of the wood be-
comes irregular. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

YOUNG WlNDEBANK.

They shot young Windebank just here.
By Merton, where the sun
Strikes ON the wall. Twas in year
OF blood tho deed was done.
At morning from the meadows dim
He watched them dig his grave.
Was this in truth the end for him,
The we'll beloved and brave?
He marched with soldier scarf and sword.
Set free to die that day
And free to speak once more the word
That marshaled men obey.
But silent on the silent band
That faced him, stern as death
He looked, and on the summer land
And on the grave beneath.
Then, with a sudden smile and proud,
He waved his plume and cried:
"The king! The king!' and laughed aloud,
1.-The king! The king!' and died.
Let none affirm he vainIy fell
And paid the barren cost
OF having loved and served too we'll
A poor cause and a lost.
He in the souls eternal cause
Went forth as martyrs must
The kings who make the spirit laws
And rule us from the dust.
Whose wills, mistaken by the breath
Of adverse fate, endure
To give us honor strong as death
And loyal love as sure.
Margaret S. Woods.
