JOHN C. DAVIS AGAIN AT LARGE
He Breaks Away From an Attendant
and is Vet Uncaptured.

John @. DAVIS, the noted church en-
beZzler and lunatic, of Wilmington, who
has been confined in the Insane Asylum
here, is again at large. He made his
escape while taking exercise with an at
tendant last Thursday afternoon. The
fact was kept quiet by the asylum Off
Gals, so quiet in fact that the first known
of the escape here was an item in the
Wilmington papers, which said that the
police Of that city had been notified of
Davis escape and asked to arrest him
should the runaway go to that city.
Yesterday a NEWS AND OBSERVER re-
porter telephoned to the asylum and oh
tanned the particulars from DR.. Kirby.
First to the phone came Mr.. McGeachey,
one of the physicians. SIS the report that
John @. Davis is at large true2" asked
the reporter, reading the notice in the
Wilmington papers.
"Say that again, said McGeachy in a
very surprised tone. "Ye-es, that's
true", he admitted, but he gave no
particulars you'll have to see DR.
Kirby.
After long time the Superintendent
arrived. These are all the facts yet
known:
Friday afternoon Davis went out for a
walk with an attendant. Suddenly he
broke and ran, and he has never come
back. All that has been heard of him
since was the fact that he was in Clay
ton Friday afternoon. While there he
tried to borrow money from Methodist
preacher with which to pay his way to
Wilmington. 1t is thought he is max
ing for that city.
"Davis had been very nervous for
some weeks" said Dr. Kirby, land was
fretting a great deal to go to Beaufort
to see the grave of his mother who died
rather recently. A few days before his
escape patient died at the asylum and
was buried there. The funeral and ex-
element attendant upon it had very
bad effect on Davis and made him more
nervous"
There is no blame that can attach to
the officials for the escape. The days Of
straight jackets for patients have passed,
and the comparative liberty they are al
lowed more than overbalarces III benefit
the chances thus given inmates to es-
cape
This is Davis second escape from the
asylum. HIS first flight was taken last
winter, with the thermometer hanging
around zero. On that occasion he went
straight to Wilmington, walking most OF
the way and suffering greatly.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1895-08-07

Mr.. E. r. Pace yesterday received
news of the death at Youngsville of Mr..
L. W. Dent, prominent farmer. His
death was sudden, as he was IN Raleigh
on Monday in good health.
Raleigh's telephone system grows
worse and worse, if that is yossible. 1t
is now impossible to so much as arouse
''the sleeping central after II o'clock at
night-the time at which good tele-
phone service is most needed.
Mr.. A. Dughi "saw snakes" in plenty
yesterday morning. But they were real
snakes, no creatures of an excited mind.
In the gentleman's yard large moccasin
was killed. In the big snake were twenty
little snakes, and every one was lively.
But Mr.. Dughi killed out the family,
root and branch.
"Let no one disturb my slumbers, "
seems to be the motto of the comfortable
individual who officiates at the telephone
Office in the night time. And it is well
nigh an impessibillty to rouse him after
eleven o'clock. All efforts to use
the phone after that hour met with no
success from this Office last night. The
bell jingled merrily bit the sleeper slept
on. Perhaps dose of cocoa wine or a
copy of Jack in Boots would improve the
efficiency of the somnolent Central.

AT THE SAME OLD GAME.
ssPeg Leg'' Williams Operating in
Georgia.

The people of Raleigh and the State
will well remember peg Leg" Williams,
who some years ago created so much ex-
cltement in some parts of the State by
inducing negroes to leave their employ
ers' farms for Arkansas. The following,
taken from the Atlanta Constitution,
shows that "Peg Leg" is still up to his
old tricks:
"Peg" Williams, who has managed
more excursions for railroads than any
three men perhaps in the South, was
here yesterday and talked of the woes of
the hundreds of negroes he recently took
to Mexico.
The negroes went to Mexico last win
ter, allured by the fair promises that
wealthy mexicans wanted them to grow
cotton. They were assured that they
would have work given them, and that
they would make money ''hand over
fist, to use the expression of the ire
pressible railroad man. The promises
all came true, but with dire consequences
in the end.
''The negroes made contracts with the
Mexicans," said Peg yesterday, and by
the terms of these contracts were to get
half of what was made on the farms of
the colonization company. But the
Mexicans kept the contracts, and when
the crops were well nigh made they told
the negroes they would not give them
half, but would employ them at 81 cents
day. This the negroes refused to ac-
cept and that caused the row between
them. They started to come home but
were penniless and smallpox brok out
among them. Finally the Mexican gov
eminent sent them to Eagle Pass, on
the Texas line, and they are there now,
quarantined. As soon as they can come
away they will be given work to earn
enough money to bring them back to
Georgia and Alabama

SPECIAL CoLLIDEs.

1t Dashes Into Freight at Haw River
1.-The CabOose and two Freight Cars
TelescOped and two Men Badly Hurt
Accident Occurred on Bridge.
A collision between the freman's
special and a freight train at Haw
River yesterday may result in the Death
of Mr.. Durham, of Chapel Hill.
Coming at full speed around the sharp
curve in the railroad track at Haw River,
the engineer of the special train carrying
several fire companies from Greensboro
to Newborn, saw the caboose and several
cars of long freight pulling leisurely
across the bridge, just in front.
Realizing in a moment that a collision
was unavoidable he. reversed his engine,
called to the fireman and at the proper
moment both jumped. But the train
dashed on down the grade at slightly re-
duced speed.
When the collision occurred, the
freight had just pulled across the high
bridge, and when the passengers IN the
cars of the special had extricated them
selves, bruised and bleeding, from the
stationary cars, they stepped out on the
bridge itself. at the East end was the
wreck, the big engine almost hidden IN
the wreck of the freight train caboose
and two box cars, which it had com
pletely telescoped The engine nor any
of the cars of the special left the track.
This was almost miracle, and had they
done so, loss of life would have been
inevitable, as the cars would have been
precipltated fifty feet into the river.
When the crash came there were only
three persons in the freight train caboose.
Two of them were brothers, named Dur
ham, of Chapel Hill. They were on their
way home. Both of these were very
badly hurt, one of them being so serious
ly injured that is feared he may die.
The other passenger in the caboose some
how escaped injury.
Among the passengers and firemen,
composing the Winston, Greensboro and
Salisbury companies, who were injured
beyond the bruises which fell to every
ones share, were Mayor Nelson, of
Greensboro, who was badly cut on the
neck; Charles Wilmington and William
Thompson, fremen, the former with bad
cuts on the face and the latter with
crushed hand.
A fagman had been sent back from
the freight train and under ordinary cir
cumstances the Special could have been
stopped. Next to the engine were TWO
flat-cars, carrying the fire apparatus,
then came two box cars for the horses
and then the passenger coaches. The
first four cars were not fitted with air.
breaks and this made the stopping of
the train by no means the easy matter it
would have been otherwise.
The accident happened at 10 o'clock.
The track was cleared and the Special
passed here at 1 30 o'clock. The regular
Southern train, due at 1:12, passed
through at 2:15.-
