A Sacramentan Learns of the Death
of His Brother.

I. 5. Norris, the well-known newspa-
per man, has received the sad tidings
of the death of his brother, j. f. Nor
ris, at Victoria, B. c. Deceased was

Macdonald, G. c. B., and Sir Hugh
Allan for the building of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. which was the means
of turning the Government over to the

During the whole trouble. however
Mr. Norris retained the personal friend

WAGES OF SIN.
Evangelist Bane's Discourse Las
Night-NO Services To-Day.

Last evening, at the Sixth-street
Methodist Church, Rev. Mr. Bane
preached a powerful discourse from
Romans vi, %: THE wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal
life, through Jesus Christ our Lord"
He told of two young men to whom he
preached when he was pastor in this
city seven years ago. One gave his
heart to Christ. The other repeatedly
replied, Not tonight" Both were
taken sick and died in the Railroad
Hospital. The former experienced rest,
peace and victory. He talked of dying
as of going on pleasure journey. The
latter died with no hope. His soul
was lost. A dark shadow was left in
his home.
Mr.. Bane told of a man who testified:
Il have served the Devil faithfully for
thirtynin years, and all that / have
for it is a lost soul and a ragged suit
Of clothes" He likened the destruction
which the Devil inflicts to the virgin
kiss, the awful instrument of torture
employed in the incuisition. He who
kissed it was closed in it's embrace
and pierced to death by hundred
knives.
The deception of sin he likened to the
Judas tree. Bees by the thousand came
to suck the sap that oozes from it, But
it is poison and they fell dead at the
foot of the tree
Working for the Devil and inheriting
eternal life from God as a gift were
strikingly compared. The people in
Sacramento, he said, who are doing the
most for the Devil are the ungodly in
the higher walks of society They are
the persons whom the most follow in
their Indifference to Christ.
An altar service was held, at which
several professed conversion. There
will be no service to-day, but Mr.. Bane
will preach Sunday morning and even

OFFICER MAYS MISHAP.
He Fell Thirty Feet and Escaped Very
Serious Injury.

Special Officer Richard May had a
close call for his life last night, the re-
suit of his obliging disposition.
Two women who live in a two-story
house on Third street, between ] and
X, had gone out, leaving the child of
one of them in bed. They discovered
they had left their key inside the room,
shutting them out. and Mr. May volun-
teered to go over the roof and get it,
Thinking that he would step down on
the roof of the Chinese washhouse next
door. he stepped off the roof. but it
proved that he was over an area be-
tween the two buildings, and he fell
about thirty feet to the ground, hurting
his side and leg badly. He was taken
home in hack, and will have to rest
a few days before returning to his duty.

If catarrh is a blood disease, as some
claim, that physicians frequently ad-
wise change of air and climate to those
suffering? Catarrh is a climatic affec-
ton, and nothing but a local remedy
or a change of climate will cure it.
Ely's Cream Balm is so efficient as to
do away with the necessity of leaving
home and friends, causing instant re-
lief and is a real cure of catarrh.

THIRTEEN PRISONERS ESCAPE
Through a Hole in the Ceiling of
York, S. c., Jail.
TWO MURDERERS AMONG THEM.
Well Planned, Well Executed Scheme
BLOOD Hounds Following Tracks
Made By Them.

Yorkville, S. C.-(SpeciaD. There
was wholesale delivery of prisoners at
the county Jail Sunday morning about 3
o'clock. Among the prisoners that es-
capped are NJ. r. Reese and Dave F.
Luckie, convicted Of the murder of
Chas. T. Williams, of Tunnel Hill,
Ga, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, but waiting the result Of an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court. There
were only two white prisoners that es-
capeG, but i'll addition to these were
eleven negroes, who effected their es-
cape also. These negroes are charged
with various misdemeanors, but none OF
the crimes are serious.
The escape Of the prisoners was not
discovered until about Z o'clock Monday
morning, but Sheriff Logan promptly
gave the alarm and summoned his
posses.
The manner in which the delivery
was effected shows a great deal of
ingenuity and is undoubtedly due to
the fertile brain of NJ. r. Reese. When
the Jail was searched it was found that
a hole large enough to admit the body
of man had been bored from the cell
of Reese through the ceiling. Through
this hole the prisoners crawled to a
point directly over the stairway. Here
another hole was cut in the ceiling and
by means Of blankets the prisoners lei
themselves down to the floor, and from
there to the ground by means OF the
stairway was very simple thing.
Hon, fn11I, the pTAn(
jury has recommended that cages be-
put in the jail in place of the present
insecure arrangement, but the county
commissioners have been deaf to such
appeals. No blame can be attached tt
| Sheriff Logan, nor were the people O
this town surprised at the delivery fol

over the delivery and rewards will un
doubtedly be offered. On a Bible c

Better Prices for Grains--The Inf1u-
ences on the Cotton Market.

Messrs. R. G. Dun & Co. say:
Slightly better prices for wheat, cot
ton, wool and iron and money market
well adapted to encourage liberal pur-
chases. against future improvement In
business, have rendered the past week
more hopeful than any other since early
III November. The heavy excess OF
merchandise exports over imports in
january, the continuance of exchange
rates showing that Europe is still large
ly indebted to this country on current
account, and the prospect that Congress
will adjourn without any disturbing
action, all have their favorable infiu
ence on the money market, and upon
further undertakings
''The sales of woods have sharply de-
cllned, amounting to Z, 400, 300 pounds
for the week, against 8, 157, 900 for the
previous week, but owing to the heavy
transactions early, in the month, + :
sales for thre weeks have been 80, :
130, 900 pounds, against IL, 16S, 700
pounds last year. The large mills have
acquired large supplies for the present,
and at any advance Of price they appear
ready to drop out Of the market. The
demand for woolen goods does not seem
to have expended materially, and no
quotable change in prices has appeared
| during the week
g The heavy exports in January, fol
lowing the unprecedented excess of ex-
| ports over imports of merchandise in
the four previous months, are largely
| due to the fact that neither the wheat
nor the cotton markets have been ma
terially controlled by speculation.
Figures at this season do not coun
for much in cotton, though there is
large demand On account of the partia
closing Of many mills, which has ma
terially influenced the market. Prices
have been comparatively steady; mid
ding uplands declining to cents, bu
recovering ats. The volume of busines
Is not accurately represented by clear
ing house exchanges, owing to the ex
ira holiday this year at some CONNER
