NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 2S.-After
nearly ten years of liberty, during
which he lived unmolested in and near
this city, an escaped convict was today
recartured and put back behind the
bars to serve out the rest of his term.
In 1882 Warren Henderson was sent
here from Shelby county to serve five
years for the crime Of incest. He was
forty four years old.
He was sent to the mines at Tracy
City, and two years later escaped and
returned to this city. For eight years
he worked on farms about Nashville
under the name of jim Williams and
then came into the city, where he has
been living since as hostler in leading
house.
His life W an exemplary one and he
was good man to all appearances.
In some way the detectives heard of
him and went and called him by his old
name. 1t was the first time he had
heard it for ten years and he staggered
with amazement. He then recovered
and denied his identity but he was too
late and the officers took him back to
prison to serve out three years and three
months more time at hard labor.
He is now fifty seven years old.

BAYARD MAY RESIGN.
The Ambassador is Said to Be
Tired Of London Life.
Report That the "American CneYaHer''
Has Expressed to ClcreIaoa ,he
Wish to RelUrn Home.

LONDON, Feb. 81. Hon. Thomas f
Bayard, United States Ambassador 10
the court of st, James, has tired If
his exalted position and is anxious to
return to his mother country. This
can be stated upon undisputable au.
thority. IT. is known to two or three
of the few intimate friends who have
secured tue confidence of the distin-
guished American statesman during
his short sojourn in this country, and
there ore good reasons for the belief
that his feelings and views in The
matter were communicated in Il pri-
vate letter to President Cleveland some
six weeks ago. His desire TO return
to the States is based upon several
grounds. For one thine, The climate
does not agree with him aad .ipce the
beginning of the winter he has been
compelled to exercise unusual care To
avoid the consequences Of The raw.
damp atmosphere, the injurious infu-
ences of which hundreds and thou
sands OF visiting Americans have had
reason TO remember
The number of functions which he
is called upon to attend in social or
semi official capacity also furnishes a
reason for the uncongeniality cf the
position. The ex-senator has never
taken kindly to the functions of So
clety, and even during his residence
in Washington as member of the
Senate and OF Mr.. Cevelands first
cabinet he always preferred the quiet
and retirement Of his home i1 Will
mington, Del. This trait OF his charac-
ter was even more strongly marked
after the untimely death OF his son in
law, which occurred very soon after his
daughter had become bride. There
are other reasons why he wauld prefer
to return to the United States, but
these are the principal ones. The
carrying out of such an intention,
however, would be deeply regretted in
diplomatic and social circles, for no
minister in great many years has
succeeded in making himself more
popular and respected, not to say
honOred, than the "American Cheva-
her," as he is referred to in the draw
ing rooms.
The exact character Of his com
mnnication to Mr., Cleveland, AS we'll
AZ the tenor Of whatever reply has
been received, are unknown, but it is
not thought that he would go to the
extreme of rendering hls resignation,
even at the sacrifice of his personal
feelings, if It were the desire of the
President that he should continue to
represent the United States at the
English court for the remainder of the
Presidents term.
