Causes Sudden Death.
The following description of the plague in
Floyd and Both Counties, Kentucky, which
has carried OFF seventy-five per cent. of its
victims, is furnished by physicians sent to
investigate the plague by the State Board Of
Health.
The doctors say it is Identical with the
plague which swept Ireland in 1866. 1t is
malignant, but not contagious, and is due to
local conditions, though about the exact
cause almost nothing Is known. Its most
appalling feature Is the rapidity ofits action.
1t longest course does not exceed three days,
and scores died in from two to eight hours.
The symptoms are pain In the head. high
lever and tendency to draw back tho head
and shoulders. Pains like the singing OF
bees attack the ends of the toes and fingers,
extending to the head. The eyes become
fixed, crossed as death draws near, and the
victim sinks into stupor, which lasts longer
than the more painful features of the horri-
BILE disease. OF 200 cases $50 died.

E. PINE BLUFF. ARKANSAS FRIDAY EVENING JULY 26 1895
A LETTER FROM SHOEMAKE.
He Wants the Challenge of Prince Ae-
 eepted by Two of Pine BInn's Cyclists.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, July 26, 1895. Editor Graphic;
 Seeing an article in yesterdays GRAPHIC where one MT. Prince had arrived in Pine Bluff, and was seek ing q race with the cyclists of this city, l beg to ask if a match cannot be entered into with some of the cyclists of Pine Bluff to show Mr. Prince that he is not the only one who can ride bicycle, even if he is the great Europe-Ametiean eyclist, he should not be allowed to leave Pine Bluff without some one giving him trial Cannot Messrs. Kilroy or Smith be persuaded to give him q race with proper odds.
 While l have only been riding seven or eight months, believe with some months proper training, I would not deem it embarrassing to give him trial While have made considerable progress for q laboring man and appreciate the commenda- tion conferred upon me, hardly feel iustifable in accepting the chal- lenge he has extended to the cyclists of Pine Bluff, yet feel confident that either MT. Kilroy CT Smith would be safe in accepting the chal- lenge from the worLd-renowned and champion cyclist
 In the name of justice and honor to the cyclists of the State, gentle men, l say, don't allow this world famed (or whatever he may bel ey- clist to pass unnoticed. Give him a race by all means and then we can see what we may see. Cannot the States champion give him a short race, and then send him from Pine Bluff with a sore feeling and a con science of remorse that will ever re- prove him of tbe Wanton boasting he committed in the City of Wheels. Respectfully, G. l.. SuoEM8KE.

A CONVICT KILLED.
HE AND. FOUR OTHERS MADE A BOLD
 BREAK TO ESCAPE.
Wallace McNien Shot Dead by the Guard John Black, Jefferson County
 Prisoner, Escapes.

Today's Gazette says: Wallace McNiell, colored, a Crawford county convict, Was shot and instantly killed yesterday morning about o'clock while attempting to make his escape from a convict squad en route from the penitentiary to the insane asylum sewer. Gen" Fur ner, a Desha county convict, was shot through the arm. The attempt to escape was made by three others, Sam Willis, of Jackson county, John Black, of Jefferson county, and Will Wilson, of Garland county, besides McNiell and Turner. Only two sue ceeded in gaining liberty. They were Black and Willis.
 One hundred convicts were in de tail for Work on the insane asylum sewer, and they were in charge of eight guards. Upon crossing the Iron Mountain track on Seventh street the five negroes whose names are given above made bold break for liberty and dashed towards the woods. The guards were surprised by the break, but they lost no time in firing at the fugitives. Seven or eight shots were fired and McNiell fell dead in his tracks. He was shot through the head and his brains were scattered about several feet. The shooting did not deter the re- maining four convicts from running, and they fairly flew. Bloodhounds were put on their tracks 8 few hours later and Turner and Willis were recaptured, Turner with a wound in his arm. Wilson and Black could not be caught.
 It appears that McNiell and the four other negroes planned to escape and that they talked it over Wednes- day during the rain, when they were in the walls and not at work. An inquest was held over the remains of McNiell and a verdict was rendered to the effect that the killing was jus tifiable.
 John Black, one of the convicts who escaped, was convicted of grand larceny in the Jefferson Circuit court and received a sentence of four years Imprisonment.

LITTLE ROCK WINS
The Third Game of the Series from the Nowiands The Rooters Disgusted
 With the Game.

The last of series of three games of ball was played at Jones park yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large number of "rooters' and fans and many ladies, and the re Isuit was victory for the Little Rock club by score of F to II. The game, as shown by the score, was entirely devoid of merit, and the many errors made by members of both clubs disgusted the spectators, and will do much to make base ball unpopular in Pine Bluff. The game was without energy, and the players. with oniy q few exceptions, dragged through it with slovenness that made all lovers of the national game present feel like wearing ever going 10 the park to witness another. The iielders of the Nowland's ; could not catch a ball when 1t was knocked into their hands. They needed baskets, ,und needed them bad ly, while the members of the Little Rock club were just as bad, and threw such wild balls that had they been playing with the juvenile club of this city they wouldcertainly have been defeated.
 Boys, if you play ball, you will be patronized libcrally, but our people will never tolerate such games as the one put up yesterday.
