JAIL DELIVERY
 AT ENSLEY CITY
TEN PRISONERS ESCAPED SUN. DAY NIGHT WITH LITTLE DIE FACULTY, AS THE JAIL IS ONLY A TEMPORARY BUILDING.

Ten prisoners succeeded in making their escape from the Ensley jail Sunday night. and up to late hour most of them were still at large. They are said to have near ly broken down the building temporarily used as a jail, and to have had little trouble in effecting their escape by tear ing up the floor.
 Six of those who escaped were George Cook, Joe Diamond, George Johnston, AL bert Thomas, Will Mason and John Hen ry Thomas. The names of the other four are not known.
 The escape has been reported to all the police departments and town mar shals in the neighborhood, and they have been requested to look out for all the negroes. Descriptions have also been fur nished.
 None of the prisoners were desperate characters, most of them being held for petty offenses All of the larger birds were brought to Birmingham ana placed in the county jail.
 This is the second wholesale delivery In this vicinity in the past few weeks. The other was from the south side city jail. when 37 men got through hole dug in the wall
 Very soon Ensley will have a new jail, from which 1t will be almost impossible for the average prisoner to escape, but at present the jail offers little resistance to an enterprising prisoner.
 The Ensley and Birmingham police know nearly all the escapes, and it Is believed that they will all be behind the bars within a few weeks.

MARRIAGE SETTLEMENTS.
John C. Calhoun Regarded Then ~
Unfrlendly to the Happiness Of
the Marriage State.

Just before Calhoun's marriage he
had long talk with the legal coun-
sci of his sweetheart's mother re-
garding Floride's marriage settle
ment, and directly thereafter, says
George Wolsey Symonds in Ladies'
Home Journal, wrote to his prospec-
tive mother-in-law on the subject:
"From prejudice, or reason. ! have
always been opposed to marriage set
Elements. / think experience and
reason prove them to be unfriendly
to the happiness of the marriage
state; and that they tend to produce
pecuniary embarrassment In that
state there should be one interest,
one happiness and one destiny. That
entire confidence, which is reposed
by a female in the object of her
choice. in placing both her honor and
her property in his custody, gives
rise to the most sacred and tender
regard. A marriage settlement inn
plies a distrust. 1t is no safety
against inevitable accident. It is q
guard against the imprudence or mis-
conduct of the husband only.
If successful in life there is no bene-
fit in one; if unsuccessful. what more
disagreeable than to have property,
but not to be able to pay just debts ?
1t would to me be wretched. 1t would
be splendid poverty"
