A GUARD KILLED.
Desperate Convicta Tried to Escape From
Penitentiary at Columbus-Prison-
ers Badly Wounded.

Badly Wounded.
CoLunBUs, Nov. 19.-Convicts O'Neil
and Atkinson. who are serving Is years
each for robbery, committed in Cleve-
land, made bold attempt to escape
from the state penitentiary. One, hav-
Ing possession of a revolver, covered his
face with a handkerchief and went into
the broom shop, where he held up Guard
Lime and took his revolver. He then
returned to the hoo shop, where the
other man joined him, and they opened
fire on Guard Lauterbaugh, who was in
charge cf that department.. The guard
was shot three times and almost in
stantly killed.
Guard Gump was the first on the
scene and, taking in the situation at a
glance, opened fire on the two prisoners
This was returned and a regular battle
was in progress until the revolvers of
all the participants were emptied. Con-
vict Atkinson was shot down and seri-
ously injured. As soon as the gun s
were emptied Guard Gump rushed in
with his cane and beat O'Neil until he
surrendered. The men were taken to
the hospital, where their injuries were
attended to.
The other prisoners III the shop where
the shooting occurred took no part in
the affair. but it is understood that they
stood ready to follow if the efforts of
the two leaders proved successful Pre-
vious to making the outbreak one of the
two prisoners forced third man to
place ladder against the outside of the
penitentiary wall so that when they had
fought their way out of the shops they
could shoot down the wall guard and
make their escape by that route.
O'Neil and Atkinson are serving
their third terms. Atkinson said that
O'Neil received two guns on the Fourth
of July when visitors were allowed in
the prison. They were hidden by At
kinson, the two men deciding to wait
for fall before trying to escape,
They had been waiting for three
weeks for an opportunity.
Atkinson was shot twice in the right
arm and O'Neil has two severe scalp
wounds. Neither was fatally hurt.

TRADE IMPROVED.
Since the E'ections-Big Year In
ssrain Probable.

New YORK, Nov. 1.9--R. G. Dun 50
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, issued
today. said in part: The situation is
clearer and the improvement in bust
ness, which was expected after the cleo
ton, has begun. Payments through
clearing houses are far the largest
ever known, for the week 1913 per
cent larger than last year, and per
cent larger than iii 1892. The glass
workers have resumed, the anthracite
coal output is heavy and much beyond
the present capacity of the markets, the
troubles with Illinois coal miners have
been settled and the new strike OF shoe
workers in Marlboro, Mass, is now the
only labor hindrance of consequence.
1t is noteworthy that i'll spite of all
changes the price of spot wheat has but
slightly changed The exports for the
week, flour included, have been 1876
600 bushels from Atlantic ports, against
l,204, 900 last year, and from Pacific
ports $685. 93 bushels, against 2,I91, 334
last year.
Corn exports also exceed last years,
amounting for the week to 1888, 720
bushels, against 2, 722, 451 bushels last
year, and for two weeks of November
have been 5,056.0Jl bushels, against
7,l97,o0S bushels last year. Such ship
ments after the middle of November
go far to warrant tho belief that the
foreign demand for this grain is des-
tined to be greater than has been ex-
pected
The WOODEN manufactures have gained

recently seen, and there are also better
orders for speedy delivery, but the de-
mand IS not large, and much machinery
is still waiting idly.
While sales OF . col at the three chief
markets were heavy, %, 234, 800 pounds
in three weeks, against 20,865 902 last
year and Il, l03, 100 in 1892, they in
clude two large sales for export, cover
ing 1000, 060 pounds of Montevideo and
Australian wool at 16 and Is cents re-
spectlvely, which make clearer the fact
that prices asked by holders here are
relatively high.
Iron is in bigger demand all the time
and yet production steadily increases,
and at Pittsburg Bessemer pig is
slightly lower at SOLO, the new asso-
citation being undersold. Orders for
plates are beGond all precedent, includ
ing material for cars, bridges, vessels
and work of all sorts, and structural
work is seasonably quiet, though the
mills have much ahead, while in bars
the demand Is considerably better at
Plttscurg, with orders for material OF
5000 cars at Chicago.
The expectation is that the proposed
rail association will meet an extremely
heavy demand for the next year, es-
pecially for trolley lines, but it is stated
that prices viii not be advanced above
$50 at the east and $21 at Chicago. In
iron products the next will probably be
a record breaking year.

Complaint at Methodist Convention of

DETROIT, Nov. 19.-Lack of genuine
interest of church members in city
evangelization was a complaint numer-
ously heard during the business session
OF the annual convention of the Ma

never come to the church. The church
must go to them" He asserted that

Esmember the sermon which he preached
to you last Sunday in this church. That
was his message to you, and it needs no
addition now. Remember it always; I
asked you also to consider that it will be
your duty to continue the habits of study
that you have formed in this seminary.
There are laggards in this world but he
who is willing to study continuously may
become a man of power. Do not seek
high places, but nobly occupy lowly ones.
Iennyson said: Self reverence, self
knowledge, self control These three
alone, lead life to sovereign power.
you can have this power in lowly
places. 10 be president or governor or
Congressman is well. but the many can
not reach these places. They can make
the small place great. The crown Of
culture is religion. Our institutions of
learning should teach the young how to
live in the spirit"
