ESc4PED AND CAPTURRD


Rr1aoner 1t the PenitontlAry Enjoyed >
Few Hosrs Of Liberty.
Yesterday morning between six and
seven o'clock, Guy Brown. a negro con-
vict at the Moundsville ,penitentiary,
escaped from one of the guards. Brown
who is a five-year man, was sentenced
from Wood county, and is one of the
gang employed in making brick about
four squares away from the institution.
He is one of the molders, and it is
customary to furnish them with an
extra pair of pants. Yesterday the
gang went to the place, but it was
found that the ground was too wet to
work. Accordingly while Brown was
making his usual change of clothes,
the guards attention was attracted by
something else. and the fellow made
his escape. His absence was noticed
inside of five minutes, but in that time
he got so good a start that he was
soon in the woods nearby. The rest
Of the men were at once sent back to
the Denitentiary, after which several
of the guards started to scour the hills
in the hope Of capturing the fugitive.
They were unsuccessful, but during the
morning Brown was caught about ten
miles below Moundsville, and was re-
turned to prison during the afternoon.

|It has come to pass now that gov
eminent should protect men against
themselves. It is q terrible thing to
curse an unborn child, but it is done
in this country. Look at our bill
boards containing indecent pictures.
All this is terrible for our children to
grow up with. and something should
be done. Christ taught us to pray, and
he will be with us in everything when
we are serving the Lord. The body Of
workers known as the w. G. T. u.
have Christ as their standard-bearer,
and they are doing grand work.
Every soldier Of Jesus Christ should
do his duty, and when there is battle
to be fought he should be on the ground
to help on the victory"

4 STRANGE PB00EEDnIG.


i Citlxea Arrested for Rssisting IN Attack
BY = Dog.
There was a peculiar arrest made at
Sixteenth and Market streets, last eve
ming.
The prisoner Is well known young
man, of the highest character, who was
hurrying along Sixteenth street In an
effort to catch the eight o'clock train
on the Elm Grove road. At the corner
Of Market street he was attacked by
a dog, who caught the gentleman by
one trouser leg. The gentleman mad
an umbrella, with which he attempted
to fight the dog off, but the dog
caught the umbrella with his teeth
and completely ruined it. While this
little contest was going on Ofhcer
Holmes appeared, arrested the gentle
man, and took him to the City Hall,
where he was promptly discharged by
Lieut.. Supler, but too late to eaten
his train. The net result was street
contest with dog, a ruined umbrella,
a failure to make train and an arrest
by policeman, for all of which the
real victim appears to have no redress,
Friends of the gentleman, who gave
him the very highest character, were
indignant last evening at what they
characterized as gross outrage On the
part of the officer.
Last night Lieut.. Supler stated that
Officer Holmes did not understand the
case, saw disturbance and man
running after a dog with an umbrella,
and brought him to the City Hall,
where the matter was explained and
the prisoner discharged. The Lieuten-
ant said it was not really an arrest,
and that the gentleman ought to have
killed the dog, had he been able to
do So

JUDGE briggs DECISION.

For the past few weeks ex-Judge
J. B. briggs, of Bridgeport, has been
talked of as a possible candidate for
Congress from the Sixteenth district,
to oppose the Hon. L. Danford. Mr..
briggs friends were very urging in
their request that he become a candi-
date, as he surely would be elected.
The Judge has never said very much
in regard to the matter, but 1t can be
stated upon good authority now that
he positively will not be a candidate,
nor will he allow his name to be used
in that connection.
This is very disappointing to those
who were under the impression that
the venerable ex-Judge would be a
candidate, as he would make a strong
one.
Now that they have other prospec-
tive candidates, and as Mr.. briggs has
refused to be one, what is wrong with
the Hon. W. V. Campbell, the brilliant
attorney located in the same town
with Mr.. briggs. He would make an
excellent candidate and would not
