SHOOTS HIS PRISONER.
Mack Crawford, CoIored, Attempts to Escape From the Officer and Is Shot Wounds X
 Not Serious. Z

Mack Crawford, colored was shot in the breast and arm yesterday afternoon by Special Officer Sharp of Woodward.
 The officer and his prisoner were en route to the county jail on the Bessemer dummy, when Crawford jumped from the train and ran. It is said that he was making good headway towards his es- cape, notwithstanding the fact that his wrists were locked together with hand cuffs. Officer Sharp ran after the fugi- tive and called on him to halt The ne gro turned toward the officer, but started to run again, 1t is said, when Officer Sharp fired. One of the balls struck the negro just over the heart and ranged along the breast infiictng painful flesh wound. The other shot passed through the fieshy part of the negro's right fore arm without striking the bone
 Crawford yesterday afternoon told a State Herald reporter, while Dr. Cotton was dressing his wound, that he and an- other negro went into the commissary at Woodward, and that he took a bolt of cloth from the counter and tried to get away with it, when he was intercepted by the clerk. A few minutes later Officer Sharp put the handcuffs on him and was bringing him to the city, when he jumped from the train, he says, near Smithfield, and tried to escape. He says he intended to halt, but when he saw the pistol in the hands of the officer he was fright ened and ran again. His wounds are not dangerous

Pinllico Results.

Baltimore Nov 30.-Get-away day at Pimlico furnished some of the best fin- ishes seen during the eighteen days of the meeting. The best four-mile steeple- chase witnessed hereabouts in recent years was the concluding event. Six started with gentlemen riders up, and to the surprise of everybody all finished. The struggle between young Orion, Che wy Chase and Harry Harwood for the last of a mile, was notable. Young Orion finished first by a neck, with the favorite second ard Harry Harwood close up. Nadji Barney and Empress were not far behind.
 MT. James Merriman, who rode Harry Harwood, claimed that Young Orion, while in the lead went wrong, and his statement was accepted by the judges. Young Orion was disqualified and the race was given to Chevy Chase. Harry -Harwood got the place with Nadji third. The only successful favorite was Damsel in the first race. Antidote fell as the fla 2 flashed for the second race. Neither rider nor horse were injured. Summa- ries:
 First race, five furlongs-Demsel, 10S Reiff), to 5, won Maple Prince second, Lillie Mills third. Time, 1o67z.

Assisted by Misses Hughes and Reade, Seals
 Hall, December 5.
 At Seals hall next Thursday evening, December 5, the Schubert male quartette of Chicago, H., assisted by Miss Read, reader of rare merit, and Miss Hughes, a phenomenal harpist, will appear before the taste and culture of Birmingham in select melange of vocal, elocution and instrumental specialties. The quartette has national reputation. Of them the Louisville Courier-Journal says:
 A fine concert was given last evening by the Schubert male quartette. The numbers were given without any instru- mental accompaniment, and the effect was positive artistic revelation. The programme was popular one, but con- tained several numbers that fully tested the artistic powers of the singers.
 Of Miss Reade the following is suffi- cient high commendation:
 Chicago, June 21, 1894. My Dear MT. lott: Miss Grace M. Reade, the young lady the quartette have chosen as their recitationist for this sea- son, is pleasing, gifted and intelligent young artist. I am quite sure she will be a source of great pleasure to your many patrons and friends throughout the country, and credit to herself and her teachers. Yours sincerely,
 R. L. CUMNOCK. Speaking of Miss Hughes, the Chicago Evening World succinctly states: Last Tuesday evening Miss Maude Hughes gave a. brilliant harp concert. It was one of the most notable harp perform ances ever given in the west.
 Tn word, the attraction is first-class and entertaining.
