FFpn the Moundsv1lle Penitentlary
Saturday Nfght ~ Sealing the
wallis Probably Ost N Ohio.
Joseph q. Green, alias James Jones
escaped from the penitentiary some
time between 8 p. m. Saturday and
a. m. Sunday. He was excused from
work on account of sickness on Satur-
day, and spent the day in his cell. He
left dummy in his bed and concealed
himself in the shops at supper time
The cell was locked and the dummy
was counted for Green. He went over
the wall near No. tower after the
tower guards left at o'clock Saturday
evening, but his escape was not noticed
until the tower guard went on at
o'clock Sunday morning. A spliced lad
der on the outside and rope hanging
on the outside of the wall told the
manner of his escape.
He had stolen several pair of pants
from Joseph Klee's Sons company shop
and eleven pairs were found outside the
wall. Green passed through Round Bot
tom at an early hour Sunday morning
He tried to steal skiff belonging to
William Cross, but Mr.. Cross saw him
He then offered Mr.. Cross 50 and a pain
of pants to ferry him across the river
but the offer was refused. He ther
had several pairs of pants with him
He appeared at Powhatan station or
the Ohio River railroad, about $3.50
o'clock. He then had hut one pair OF
pants, which he sold to Mr. Brown, the
agent, for 81, and crossed the river &C
Powhattan Point. Since then no infor.
nation has been received as to his
whereabouts.
Green, who was a federal prisoner
sent from Washington November 7th
1899, to serve four years for larcenv
was % years of age, 5 it. 81 in. high
had fair complexion, grey eyes, and
light brown hair. He is smooth sna-
ven. A reward has been offered for
his apprehension.

For some time past the necessity for
additional room for the records in the
Office of the county court. has been APP
parent. Clerk Richard Robertson has
already brought the matter to the at
tention of the Board of County Com
missioners He will be assisted in press
ing the matter by a committee Of the
Ohio county bar, who are vitality inter
estea in the matter. It is the desire
to have an appropriation for this pur-
pose included in the appropriation or
dinance of the County Commissioners.
1t is roughly estimated that the i'm
provements will cost about $4,000.
A call for a meeting of the bar was
issued last week The attorneys as
semlbled in the Circuit Court room at
9 o'clock. President George B. Cald-
well was in the chair, and George e.
Boyd, Jr., was appointed as secretary.
Col. Caldwell explained the object OF
the meeting, and his remarks were sup
plemented by County Clerk Richard
Robertson, who read the paper which
he had previously sent to the Board of
Commissioners, and went into details
in explaining the urgent necessity for
more room.
The condition of affairs has been a
source of complaint from the attorneys
themselves, all of whom are compelled
to use the vault in the examination
of records. A motion was made and
carried, providing for the appointment
of committee with power to act.
President Caldwell named Col. Robert
White, Henry NJ. Russell and John ].
Coniff.
A number of changes have been made
in the interior of the vault for the pur
pose of providing additional room. hut
there is no longer any opportunity of
providing a place for the public rec
ords. The new law providing for re-
cording conditional sales mas resulted
in mess of documents left for record.
The plan of Improvement, which
meets with general approval, is to give
the county clerk the room at present
used as the office of the clerk of the
Circuit Court, making the present Of
flee of the County Clerk an addition to
the vault. The partition would be re-
moved, and there would be an abund-
ance of room, as we'll as the additional
light which is badly needed.
The short corridor leading from the
main corridor to the offices of the two
clerks would be closed up. partly at
least, and the north wal of the Cir
cult Clerks Office would he removed.
The connection between the Office and
vault in the Circuit Clerks apartments
would be closed, and a new opening
made between the vault and the pres
ent Office of the sheriff, which it is pro-
posed to make the Office of the Clerk
of the Circuit Court
1t is the further plan to remove the
Sheriff's Office to the room now occu-
pied by the Prosecuting Attorney, and
place the Prosecuting Attorneys office
on the second floor of the county build
ing, or entirely outside the building.
The mater will be presented to the
Board of County Commissioners at its
next monthly meeting.

She was Oh the witness stand in her
own behalf, being also defendant In
the action. She was sturdy, widow,
hard d-working, shrewd in deal and
garrulous. A landlord was suing for
back rent on q little farm she had
abandoned.
"You say that the land was hard and
sour and sterile" suggested the attorn-
ey for the plaintiff.
"That's what I said, only I WASH t
so persnlf1ity about it, and I'll say
more"
"Just moment, please. We want
evidence, not opinions. Did you raise
anything on this land of ours7"
Gland of ours !" with sniff. ''You
never owned thlmberful of it. Yes,
did raise things on it. It took two
hills to raise bean and a whole row
of corn to raise a nubbin. I raised a
cabin, l raised pig-pen, and l tried to
raise a goat, but 1t starved to death
poor thing. That ground wouldn't
raise dog fennel or even Canada
thistles."
"Don't exaggerate, please. You say
the soil was sour?

ground if I, were lawyer. In the
morning when the dew was stemin' of

Grow Peer Gracefully.

Selected.
To grow poor gracefully is to bring
our wants within our income. Reach
out and bring them in, as did Noa!l his
dove, till the waters abate, and you
shall ride safely even over the noun
tain tops. There is one temptation.
You can no more grow poor gracefully
by making of debts, either large or
small, than you can go down stairs
gracefully on stills. Part With every
thing rather than bear the weight of
debt. Small debts are 80 convenient" |"
you know, but they are like swarm OF
stinging insects buzzing about your
ears People will know yon are on
stills all the time. You may hate to
come down, but how much ireer you
will be on your own footing, to feel q
divine right to all you haye you are!
