From NapoIeon's Tomb.

Onancock, Va, Dec. Cat recent meet
ing of Chesapeake Lodge of Masons, held
In this town, Mr.. Thomas W. Taylor, sec
retary of the lodge, exhibited some flow
ers taken from the grave of the great
Napoleon.
They were sent to this country by Pay
master Lankford of the United States
cruiser CastIne, who Is a native of Somer-
set County, Md, and q nephew OF Mrs.
Taylor. Paymaster Lankford is an en-
thusiiastic Free Mason, and, while his
ship was cruising in the Mediterranean Sea
he visited the tomb of Napoleon, under the
dome of the Hotel des Invalidcs, on the
banks of the Seine.
He found the tomb guarded by man who
was a Free Mason, and who, ou recog-
nIZing Paymaster Lankford as a fellow
craftsman, presented him with a beautiful
bouquet uf roses from the tomb of Ma
poleon-a favor that has been accorded
to only few, as it is contrary to the regu
latiOns to allow visitors to take flowers
or other memorials from the tomb.

ACCOMAC'S OLD JAIL.

II Mhkek narrow Escape Oh AIIOru-
Ing ScDsa ational Delivery.
Onanrock, Va. Dec. 8.-several pris-
oners in .Accnnac jail, under sentence OF
Imprisonment in the Virginia penitenuary,
have Just been discovered in an attempt Ia
escape from jail. The jail Is an anuqcated
bat substantial brick building, surrounded
by IL quadranguiar wall about fifteen feet
high. II is a clieerlcss place and is poorly
provided with separate cells, the prison
ers staying generally in one large room.
At the present time the jail is full of
prisoners, mere than have been in 1t al one
time for many years. Avcnmac county
court, which has been In session for the
past ten days, has already convicted a
goudly number of these prisoners, scntenc-
ing them to terms in the peniteniiary rang
Ing from twn to eight years. Some or them
having formed plot to escape, procured
by some unknown means the tools necessary
for their intended work.
They succeeded In making Il hole thrnugh
the floor of the main apartment or the Jail,
aud then began to cut tunnel tuward one
side of the wall that surrounds the Jail.
They had nearly completed their work,
when one of the prisoners informed the
jailor uf what WAS going on, and thus
thwarted their attempt to escape. They
worked during the night, and in the day
time managed to hide the opening i'll the
floor from the jailor.
When the plot was detected the tunnel
was within few yards OF the outer wall.
One more night, and the prisoners would
have made their escape. When the plot
was made known Judge Gillet appointed q
number OF men la guard the prisoners day
and night till n new flour could be put
in the Jail and other Improvements made
to render it well-nigh impossible for the
prisoners to escape.
IL Is certain that the prisoners had CON
federates on the outside to aid them, but
who they are has MT yet been found out.
When the term OF the court Is over the
sheriff win take many Of these prisoners
to the penitentiary.

THE HAWAIIAN CABLE.

Senate Amendment Not Likely tn BE Con-
Cured In by the House.
WASHINGTON. Feb. l3.-The appropri-
alton for Hawaiian cable which was
added to the diplomatic and consular
bill by the senate furnishes material for
an interesting controversy between the
two houses. The Hawaiian policy of
the house does not include the Hawaiian
cable in its creed, and at any rate, the
Hawaihan policy of the Democratic ma
jority of the house. There will be a
strong opposition in the house to the ex-
penditure of half million upon the sur
vey and preliminary work, both on the
general principal of objection to gov
ernment aid to enterprises of this char
acter and because of the depleted condi-
ton OF the treasury. Chairman Nc
Creary Of the committee OH foreign af.
fairs, has stated plainly his objections to
the cable project in recent speech, and
the keynote to the Democratic policy Oh
Hawaiian matters has always been ut
tered by the chairman of the committee.
The cable item will command the sup
port OF the Democrats from the Pacific
coast, but there is every probability of a
majority against it,

GOOD FOR DEFENSL
Adry Hayward's Story Likely to
Do Much Toward Establish

Testimony Regarded Bad

MTNNEAPoLIs, Feb. l3.-The question
OF Harry Hayward's sanity is again

but later it was practically announced
that the scheme would be 10 show this
unsoundness of mind in Adry, the wit
ness ON whom the state relies to corrob-
crate the testimony of the accomplice
Blixt.
But the testimony of Adry, sensa-
tional and highly colored as it was, set
the public thought off into the old chan
mel again. His thrilling and dramatic
recital OF the interview between Harry
and himself was the best piece of evil
dence for the defense that could be inn.
agined.
It must be patent to the most casual
thinker, that the state, while furnishing
through Adry the necessary corrobora-
tion of Blixt, has placed dangerous
weapon in the hands of the defense.

QUARANTINE. Feb 13.--La Gascogne,
the long overdue French steamship,

persons are won't to do when their minds

For 13 days of a voyage lasting 16 days
the ship had been disabled, one Of her
