GIRLS ESCAPE FROM PRISON
Betray Their Trusts. Commit Rob-
berry and Run Away.

Hudson, N. Y, July 6.-The third escape
within three months from the State House
of Refuge for Women took place about l
O'Clock Tuesday morning, when Margaret
Marlborough and Martha Brinkmann, two
girls, twenty-five years old sent to the
institution from New York city about
three years ago. took French leave taking
with them $40 in money belonging to
Mrs. Frances o. Abbott Superintendent
of the refuge. and $500 worth of jewelry
and clothing belonging to Mrs. Abbott and
Miss Della Ray. a matron.
The Marlborough girl, who was sent TO
the institution for petit larceny, was act
ing as Mrs. Abbott's maid and the Brink
mann girl was maid to Miss Ray. Both
girls were about to receive their parole
and were allowed privileges not accorded
to other inmates, and were given quarters
in the administration building, in which
are the rooms of the superintendent and
the matron. For several days past the
women. with the assistance of the girls
have been making repairs to their ward
robes which include many costly costumes.
The girls are usually locked in their rooms
at night, and it was supposed they were
SO secured on Monday night.
Shortly before midnight the girls, who
are fairly good looking, decked themselves
out in their stolen finery, packed what
they could not wear into a valiSe, end
proceeding to the office, by perseverance
succeeded in working the combination of
Mrs. Abbott's priva.e safe, from which they
secured the money, which was in bills
Waiting until the guard had passed the
building they dropped from an open vim
dew to the ground, short distance, and,
keeping in the shadows, reached the fence
enclosing the grounds, and scaling this
they hurried to the central station, where.
under the eyes of police officer, they pur-
chased tickets for New York and boarded
the two minutes to o'clock train south.
The escape was not discovered until
o'clock Tuesday morning, when messages
were sent out to intercept the girls, but
nothing has been heard from them as yet.
William Van Bach. father-in-law of
Capt. William Hogan, of the Eldridge
Street station. and marshal of the refuge
is in New York looking for the fugitives.
The escape has caused no little comment
and considerable criticism. The refuge
managers have discharged Fred La Brie
the guard, who passed the building Just
before the girls escaped, and it is said
that other dismissals are likely to follow.

BERTILLoN IN DISGRACE.
Chief of Paris Police Dismissed for
His Dreyfus Testimony


Paris, July 6.-The 'Herald's" European
edition publishes the following:
The Dreyfus case, says the Figaro
has made yet another victim. NJ BertiIlon
has been deprived of the position he held
as head Of the anthropometrical depart
ment. At sitting of the municipal coun-
Gil Andre Lefebvre questioned the prefect
OF police on the subject of NJ. Bertillon's
appearance as an expert in handwriting.
M. Lepine urged his past services. and
begged he might be censured and left in
his post, but the majority thought other
wise and he lost his position"
DR.. Bertillon was the chief of the identi-
hcation service at the prefecture of police
In Paris, and Is the inventor OF the sys-
tenn bearing his name for identifying Grim
inals, which has been in use in almost ev-
cry country in the world for several years.
Briefly, the system depends upon a series
OF accurate and minutes measurements of
various portions of the human frame.
In 1894, after the discovery of treason
in the French War Office and before the
arrest of Captain Dreyfus, the minister OF
war ordered a comparison of the border
eau with specimens of Dreyfus' handwrit-
ing NJ Colbert, expert of the Bank of
France, who was appointed TO examine the
matter, reported that the bordereau might
well have been written by another person
than the one suspected. The minister then
called in the celebrated VI. Bertillon, who,
on the same day that he received the
specimens, reported as follows: IF one
sets aside the hypothesis of document
very carefully forged, it clearly appears
that one and the same person wrote the
letter (that is, bordereau) and the piece
communicated for comparison
Dreyfus was arrested the following day.

Wilson, n. c., July 6.-There was dra-
matte scene at Wilson yesterday afternoon,

and child were placed on the train. Brit

Insurance and Suicide.
(From the Philadelphia Inmirer

IFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
In the matter of suicide the man who is in
financial or other trouble is far more apt to
solve it by ending his life, if his life insurance
will surely be paid to his heirs, than he would
be if reasonable doubt were raised as to the
legality of the claims of his heirs to such
payment The insurance companies frequently
pay suicide claims, although they feel morally
sure that there fraud intended when the
policy was taken out, but when they do this,
rather than suffer the odium that attaches to
disputed claim, they encourage self-destruction.

Fayetteville Presbytery. Robson Institute. To-
bacco Market Growing. Stock Law.
Bridging Lumber River.

Lnmberton, n. c., Sept. 15.-(Special.)
-Ihe Fayetteville Presbytery has been
IN session here this week. The attend
ance has not been so large as usual, but
the meetings are no less interesting GU
that account. The session closes today.
Inc Robson Institute, conducted by
Prof. Duckett and Misses Smith, Cox,
ana French, made good opening. 1t is
a high grade school, which has done
much for the whole county, to say moth
ing of the town and immediate com
munity.
The tobacco market here is growing
rapidly. The auctioneer informed us
| today that from one warehouse over
100000 pounds have been sold UP to
| date, at an average price of six or seven
cents. The sales increase year by year,
| and tobacco is now regarded as per-
manent industry in this section.
The lower end of the county, III which
the traveller remembers seeing great
herds of scrub cattle, goats and razor
backed hogs has now adopted the
stock law" which will force the peo-
pie to turn their attention more to
dSAASuILuIts 1uty nave dCIcu wisely
The agricultural life is a step higher
than the pastoral, and we expect to
see good results from it in a few years.
1t will be a good time to buy cattle,
hogs and particularly goats, when the
| law goes into operation.
The Carolina and Northern Railway,
which is being laid now between here
and Marion, S. c., and which will have
as its termini Goldsboro and Charles
ton, viii furnish, it is said, the most
direct route from Charleston to Wash
ington. 1t is to traverse a territory
which has long been in need of a rail
road The work has not gone far yet
but the bed is graded, and the iron
is ON the ground, and when the trestle
over the Lumber river is completed, the
rest of the way is comparatively easy
Lumberton is decidedly a progressive
town. The tobacco and cotton markets
and the new railroad have made bust
ness lively 1t is connected by telephone
with forty-three other towns, in, this
State and South Carolina. 1t has recent
| ~ put in complete water and saver
age system, and has the steam power
necessary for electric lights. The sew
eral arsesian wells contribute to Its
healthfulness. From all this, not tC
speak of the natural beauty of its situa
ton, we may count Lumberton as one
of the pgrowing towns of the State.

Lexington, n. c., Sept. 16.-tSpecial)
Last night a negro boy about il
years old got on the blind" and rode
on the cal for a couple of miles, when
he jumped off near the section house
and had his head broken and an ugly
hole in one leg. His name is Roscoe
Shoaf, and he has been working at Sex

He lay by the side of the railroad
track all night, when he was found
by the section hands and brought
here to DR.. Hill, railroad physician.
Two more stores will soon be opened

and one retail grocery-both in the
Finch block owned by Misses Smith and
Hankins.
