There is this morning a dead man at
Camp Bradshaw, the convict camp near
Willow Spring church, on the Raleigh
and Cape Fear Railroad, eighteen miles
south of this city. t..3.
His name is Shaw, and he was killed
last night by white convict from Rob
eson county
With boldness born of desperation
and love of liberty, Moore yesterday plan
ned his escape and last night about 8
o'clock he undertook to carry out his
pans.
Being a trusty, Moore found the pre-
liminary work not difficult. To begin
with he saturated his clothing with lido
form. This was with the belief thar
it would prevent the blood-hounds be-
ing able to track him.
This done Moore watched his chance
to pick up a gun which guard off duty
had laid aside. With it he took sup
ply of cartridges and slipped from the
camp.
1t was not long before he was missed
and number of the guards, with blood

brightly, they were not long in coming
upon the fugitive. A mile and half
from camp the dogs found him.
Moore used his gun first upon the dogs
but failed to hit them. Then the guards
were pressing him closely and he began
firing upon them. Several shots were
exchanged without effect then a bullet
struck Shaw and he dropped over dead.
This, however, aid not slacken the firing
on either side and not until bullet
struck Moore in the neck, and he fell,
breaking his gun, did he stop shooting.
The dead guard and the wounded con-
vict were taken back to the camp
and a messenger sent for DR.. J. J. L.
McCullers. The result of Dr. McCulIers'
examination of the convict's wound is
not known. 1t is not believed, however,
that it will prove fatal
But if the wounded neck gets well If
will be only to feel n hempen halter

1t is hard to understand why Moore
should take such desperate chances for
freedOm-not only risking his own life,
but taking the life of another He has
for sometime been what is known as a
''trusty" and enjoyed great freedom and
many privileges about the camp. Be
sides he had only one year more to serve.
But liberty is sweet and once one
makes up his mind to be free then il
is dangerous to balk him.

of the malaria had been due to the fact
that the men were compelled to sleep on
thp ground. He attributed the increase
in typhoid to the sinks, to the flies, to
the fact that the wells were infected
and to the carelessness of the men. The
command used water taken through
pipes from Chickamauga river, and the
pipe was located only few feet above
the mouth of the stream which drained
the camp. The doctor thought that
some of the water from this tributary
stream had been forced into the pipes
By means of eddies. 1t had also been
impossible to prevent the use of sur
face well water by the men.
FAITHFUL, BUT INCoMPETE&sslGs
DIR. Hoyt expressed the opinion that
the surgeons in the Division hospital
had been comp, tent and in support OF
his opinion, he adduced the fact that
there had been only 27 deaths out of
1,J49 patients in the hospital for the
entire three summer months. The
nurses of the hospital corps, while faith
full were in most cases unskilled and
therefore incompetent. He said there
had been GIG patients treated in the Di-
vision hospital at Admission, and of these
20 had died. There had been an eXcep-
tionally high degree of mortality here,
but many of the men who came here,
both from Chickamauga and Santiago
were very much debilitated. He thought
the change of location from Chicka-
mauga had been very beneficial
DR.. Hoyt said he was familiar with
the complaints concerning the Eighth
New York regiment, and especially with
the criticism made by Surgeon General
Terry, of New York. There was, he
said, an enormous sick rate in this rcgi-
ment. and there were many cases
of home sickness yet. Circumstances
surrounding these men were the same
as those affecting others.

The PUBLIC SCHOOLS
HOW THEY COULD BE MADE
ALLIES OF THE CHURCH.
REVEREND JAMES MOORE HORNER
This Gentleman, Resident in Oxford, Selected
as Bishop Of The Missionary District of
AshevIe. Day yOf final Ad-
iournment Oct. 25th.

Washington, Oct. 22-The Bishops and
Deputies of the Episcopal Convention
united in joint session today to consider
a report from a joint committee on
Christian Education. The report gave
in detail the educational work in prog
ress, indirectly through the public
schools and directly through the church
schools and colleges. The public schools
were referred to as worthy institutions,
necessary to our social system. The
work in them could be advanced the
report stated, by having teachers ground
ed in religious principles, thus making
the public schools an ally of the church.
The need of church colleges i'll the North
was pointed out, the present ones being
local, small and without resources. A
tentative plan was submitted for joining
the Episcopal colleges in an academic
conference, on the theory of the great
English universities having ietaCSed
colleges.
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, spoke
o. the Importance of Christian training.
BISHOP FOR AShAt LILLE.
Among other addresses were those
of Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky, on the
University of the South, and Bishop Pc
terkin, Of West Virginia, on academic
halls. Bishop Dudley disclosed for the
first time that his plea at the Minneapo-
lis General Convention in behalf of the
University of the South had led to
secret gift of $4,000.
The House of Deputies, meeting apart
from the Bishops, held memorial services
on former members of general cOnven~
tiOns who had died since the last coun-
ell.
The Deputies debated at much length
the proposition to allow the representa-
tives of missionary districts the right
to vote. This right recently was incor-
porated in the constitution by Article
one. but the House adopted a resoIu-
ton TO reconsider this section and so
notify the Bishops.

sion selected Rev Junius Moore Horner.

London, Oct. 22-The Paris correspon-
dent of the Sunday Times, says:
The change of tone of the press is
noteworthy 1t is certain that the
Fashoda question is left out of all nego-
tiations between France and England,
and that both Government have grasp
ed the double fact that England means
to stick to her programme while France
is certainly entitled to facilities of ac-

the middle of July, and had been rapid
from that time forward until there were

time it was Impossible to receive new pa

Anniston Ala, Oct 22.-The war in
vestigating commission began its work
here to-day by an inspection of the site
| OF Camp Shipp in the forenoon, and then
| devoting the afternoon to questioning
| General Frank, commanding officer Of
| the camp and his chief surgeon Major
| Henry T. Hoyt. Both were identified
with Camp Thomas at Chickamauga.
General Frank having been in command
| of the First division Of the Third corps
| at that point, and Major Hoyt, having
| been his chief surgeon there.
| 1t was made plain by the general
trend of their examination that the work
done would pertain more largely to
| Camp Thomas than to the camp here,
us majority of the men here were re-
moved from Chickamauga. There are,
however, two regiments here which were
| in Cuba, and some of their representa-
tives will also he examined. General
Frank said he considered Chickamauga
Park IL good site for temporary camp.
but not for Il permanent camp for large
army.
THE SPRINGS POLLUTED.
| Owing to the rock formation near the
surface, sinks could only be made two
| or tnfee rect ueep, ana tHey were Ire
quently overfowed. There was also a
general impression that the springs in
| the locality were impregnated by these
sinks, and it was impossible to prevent
] tire men from drinking from the springs.
| He thought the camp should have been
moved as early as July. He said he had
heard no complaint from the men in re-
gard to the food received while at Chick
| amauga, But because of the necessity for
| getting the First corps ready for foreign
| service, there was a shortage in clothing
| for q time.
| There was also for the time difficulty
| in securing hospital room for the men
| when sickness began to increase. but
this deficiency was soon remeded There
has been a constant improvement in the
| command since its removal to Admission
early in September, and General Frank
| thought it was due to the change of site.
| Returning TO Chickamauga he said the
| hospital tents were not foored when he
| went to the camp early in July, though
| there had been sufficient time to have
| furnished flooring for the entire camp.
| General Frank said that his corps COM
mander had never made an inspection of
the camp with reference to sinks, drains.

The Death of the Hammatt,s Landing
Unknown Still Mystery.
The body of the unknown man found
at Hammatt's Landing, as detailed in
Fridays Leader, is still unidentified
and there is a possibility that the
manner of his death will never. be
known. ..l.!
The body was lying when found, at
the very edge of the river with the feet
hthe water.
The rest Of the body was dry and
from the appearance of the clothes had
not been in the river at all.
The unfortunate stranger was we'll
dressed and was apparently that of a
man in well-to-do circumstances.
There was no knife or other weapon
to be found near the body by which the
deed could have been done. It was a
question whether the unknown man
had been murdered or had committed
suicide. The man who made the hor-
rible discovery lost no time in inform
ing the authorities of Peasants county
OF his bloody discovery and the coroner
proceeded at once to the spot with a
jury to Investigate the terrible secret
of the body with it's ghastly grinning
wound. The verdict of the coroner's
jury or the information, il any, deriv-
ed from the investigation is not yet
known, though it is reported that moth
ing of nature to identify the dead
man was found and that no light was
thrown en- how he came to his awful
and mysterious end.
