TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.
Lange Hid in a Pile of
Lumber But Was
Caught.

Encouraged by the success of his nal.
John Miller, who escaped from the Coun-
fy Penitentiary at Snake Hill on October
Y. Carl Lange, another prisoner at the
institution made an unsuccessful attempt
at Jail breaking at 4:S0 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon. That he did not succeed
in getting away was due to the admirable
system of keeping watch of prisoners in
augurated by Warden John Grcmes, and
TO the vigilance of that OFFICIAL
On October 2 last, Lange began to serve
a nine months sentence imposed by
Judge Blair, upon his conviction on a
charge of stealing plants from a West
Hoboken florist. He was quiet and well
behaved prisoner, and yesterday with a
number of others, he was employed
loading a scow with crushed stone. When
the prisoners were brought back to the
Penitentiary at 4:S0 o'clock Lange was at
once missed from the gang with which
he had gone out.
Warden Grimes was notified, and he at
once ordered all the keepers to make a
thorough search of the Snake Hill
grounds. He had seen Lange at work less
than half an hour before, and realised
that Lange could not have gotten far
away. The warden joined in the search
himself, and soon found Lange riding in
a pile of lumber back of the stone
crusher.
The fugitive prisoner was taken back
to the Penitentiary and when searched
a soft felt hat was found concealed be-
meath his shirt. He said when he saw the
warden leave the vicinity of the dock
where he was at work he successfully
eluded the vigilance of the keepers and
reached his hiding place, intending to re-
main there until night fall, when he
could leave Snake Hill without much dan
ger of detection.
He was placed in the cooler" and
when his term expires he win be brought
into court and receive an additional SEN
tence for Jail breaking. During the bal
ance of the term he is serving Lange Will
be Obliged to wear the heavy chains with
which all prisoners who attempt escape
are adorned.

Schiner paid off a Presidential election
bet last night by wheeling in a barrow

attracted much attention on Lands ave-

down which Miss Schiner, who took the
Bryan end of the wager, wheel ed her
friend, Miss Lipsie.
Miss Schiner wheeled the barrow along
as jauntily and nonchalantly as if she
were out for Sunday afternoon promen-
ade. Miss Lipsie sat gracefully in the
barrow punctuating her laughter by
hurrahing for Mckinley and Roosevelt.

Asheville, the center of this beautiful
aln-hemmed plateau, is the highest
city east of Denver, and is busy, thriving
place of l2,000 inhabitants, with al .he
modernisms of city life. The city lies lust
at the point where the beautiful French
Broad and Swannanoa Rivers join their
crystal waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs many
people OF wealth have built beautiful and
expensive homes, and most notable among
them being the chateau of Mr.. George w.
Vanderbilt, which, with its great estate. has
cost upwards of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort, for the
great mountains protect it in the winter

is made delightful because of its altitude.

The Paramount Issue.
circumstances combine to emphasize
the democratic declaration that impe-
rialism is the paramount ISSUE" and
OF course militarism goes with it. Han
ma, Bliss and Heath are busily engaged
in mapping out the republican cam
paign on new lines. They had earnest
ly hoped that they could force the DEM
ocrats to make the fight on the issue of
l6 to l, and thus divert attention from
imperialism and the trusts. But it can
not be done. The more honest section
OF the republican press is urging that
the financial question was put into the
background by the action of the recent
republican congress, and that the ad-
ministration forces are making an alb.
surd spectacle of themselves by trying
to put up man of straw.
Afraid of the Record.
AS Chairman Richardson, of the DEM
ocratic congressional committee, re.
marked the other day: 1.-THE republic
ans appear to be afraid to make the
campaign on the record of this admin
istration." They feel that the less the
people know about the facts the bet
ter will be the republican chances for
success.
The democrats are putting up most
vigorous congressional campaign from
the Washington headquarters. There
is every prospect that the next house
will have democratic majority. There
were many things in the record of tine
recent republican congress that
aroused the resentment of good citi-
zens. The attempt to put congress
above the constitution in the Porto
Rican matter was perhaps the gravest
affront. In many close districts the
republicans have practically given up
the fight and concede the places to the
democrats.
