ESCAPE OF TWO WOMEN.
The Weaker Sex at the Workhorse
Take a Turn.

Two prisoners escaped from the work
house fast evening about o'clock. They
were Mamie Harrington and Eliza Allen,
two co!cred women. who were there for
assault and battery upon each other. About
three weeks ago the women got into fight
on the Yellow bridge at Michigan street
over the canal. They pulled hair and
fought all the way from the bridge to Ala
bama street. A policeman, returning from
roll call. happened along at this time and
the women ran and escaped The Earring
ton woman was caught the next day, but
ii was not until Thursday that Eliza Allen
located. They were tried in Police
Court Friday and fined $40 and costs, which
they failed 10 pay and went to the work
house.
Last evening Matron Wheatley detailed
these two Wemen to carry some water into
the womens department of the workhouse
1t is the usual thing about that hour of the
evening and .SisonerS are chosen for the
work VINO are serving terms for minor
OIeLses and who live in the city, usually.
Mrs. W heatley accompanied the women to
the we'll 10 draw the water. They started
10 return. when the women dropped the
pals and ran. Mrs. Wheatley called for
help and the guards followed the women
and reached the fence behind them Just In
time to see them Skurrying away In the.
distance, having pulled picket from the
fence.
The women succeeded in eluding their
pursuers and made their escape good. At
9:3O O'Clock last night the Harrington wom-
an rang the bell at the front entrance TO
the workhouse and asked that she be taken
IN again. The other woman was not cap
tured.

AND HE ACTUALLY BLUsHED.
Genial Nyron King COrnered by an
Innocent Female Reporter.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO. July 4-People who have been
accustomed TO think that Myron King. Gov
ernor Matthews's private secretary, has no
particular value outside of his good looks.
have been making a serious blunder. If
they could see Myron up here, right in the
midst of the push they would change
their minds in short order. For the work
he is doing for the Matthews boomers no
better man could be found. His genial gar
rulity has given every newspaper man in
town a soft side for the Matthews boom.
No matter how busy he is with various
little details he is always willing to stop
and tell all he knows. and as he doesn't
know anything about the larger movements
involving the interests OF the Matthews
candidacy what he tells is perfectly harm
less.
1t was worth two or three times the
price of admission to see him in the tolls
of a female reporter this morning. Oc-
casionally an Eastern newspaper. rich
enough to indulge in the luxury of idiocy.
will send a female reporter to conventions,
Just to show the public how the female
mind sizes up these things. 1t was one
of these that fell afoul of Myron at the
Matthews headquarters this morning. She
was a sweet, innocent, pretty and, withal,
very HELPLESS bit of femininity, and the
great heart of Myron went out to her at
once. He told her what great and good
man Matthews is and what a tremendous
effort they were making to nominate him.
When he had finished and the sweet
young thing had taken laborious notes on
all he had said, she looked up with
baby stare and asked:
Are YOU managing the campaign of this
Mr. Matthew'S"
.Well-ah-you might say that am in
the Matthews headquar-
ters,''
This last word came out when Myron be-
came aware that others in the room were
hearing the conversation, and he blushed
like a schoolboy
In matters of routine detail Myron is
worth double his salary He has collected
all the available information for the use of
the delegation in visiting other States.

er Accidents of the Day.

Peter Borman. living at the corner of
Columbia avenue and Fifteenth street. re-
turned from bicycle ride yesterday even
In took a seat on his porch and fell over
dead. Borman had attended the races at
Broad Ripple during the afternoon and de-
sired 10 get home in time to meet early
evening gagements. The rain of the late
afternoon prevented him from leaving the
races at the time he had contemplated leav-
ing and when. after the shower. he started
home il was necessary that he travel fast
IN order to get there in time. The rain had
made the roads sticky and the exertion of
coming in from Broad Ripple was unusually
great. even at a moderate rate of speed.
1lr. BOrman reached home very tired and
was putting hard from his labor. He is very
fieshy and was exceedingly warm. He put
his wheel OF the front porch. and sat down
on the edge of the porch TO get his breath
and cool off a little before going in TO sup
per. He sat a moment and then fell for
ward on his face. A physician was hastily
summoned and arrived about the time Bor-
man had been placed upon a bed in the
house. lie could do nothing. however. as
death had been instantaneous. The suppO-
sitiOn Is that heart failure was the cause OF
death.
Coroner Castor was notified of the case
and decided 10 make the post mortem eX

dorsed as the friend of organized labor and,
therefore, entitled to it's support.
The coterie of Republican Senators who
handling the Teller movement have
succeeded in creating so much stir that
Mr.. TellerS name is frequently heard in

Sherman House whose voice is authorita-

velopment of strength is desirable as Of
fering good reason why he should be
promised the Secretaryship of the Treas

LYNCHING IN MARYLAND
SIDNEY RANDOLPH, A NEGRO, TAX
EN FROM JAIL BY 4 MASKED MOB,
Dragged to n Wagon, Carted to n
Tree and Hanged-Charged with
q Little Girls Murder.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, July 4.-Sidney Ran
dolph. a negro charged with the murder
of little Sadie Buxton, and with brutal
saults with intent to commit murder on the
girls father. mother and elder sister during
the night of May %, at the home of the
Buxtons, near Gaithersburg, was lynched
before daylight this morning by a mob
of determined men, who overcame the
sheriff and forced him to surrender the
keys of the jail. The negro protested his
innocence of the crime TO the last. This
makes the second lynching in Maryland
within two weeks-Joseph Cooking. wLite
man, in jail on a charge of numbering his
wife. having been killed by a mob short
time ago.
About 2:30 o'clock this morning Charles
II. NJ. Peyton, jailer of Montgomery coun-
ty. aroused from his sleep by loud
rappings at the front door of the jail When
he inquired who was there he was told
to open the door to receive prisoner. He
did so and found confronting him a mob
OF twenty or thirty masked men. He quick
ly slammed the door in their faces and
locked it. only to have it broken down
few minutes later The men rushed in and
demanded that he unlock the cell door.
Meeting a refusal they leveled revolvers
at Peyton's head and directed him to hand
over his keys, which he did promptly. The
affair was we'll planned. for the mob pro-
ceeded at once to RandolDhs cell. The
negro was an exceedingly powerful man,
over six feet tall and muscular. There must
have been a hard struggle TO secure him,
the cell floor being covered with bloody
marks. Prisoners in adjoining cells say
that he strongly protested his innocence
and begged for his life. The mob gave no
heed TO these pleadings. but gagged him
and then dragged him TO vehicle in wait
ing and drove out of town. hargmans 5
knot was tied around the negro's neck and
soon afterward his lifeless body was swing
ing from convenient tree.
on the morning OF May %, all Maryland,
within fifty miles of Washington, was
startled by news that during the night
one or more intruders had entered the
home OF Mr.. Buxton, miller OF Gathers
burg, and had murderously assaulted the
head of the household. his wife and two
daughters with an AK while they were
asleep. 1t was feared that all four might
die, but though terribly injured, all recov-
