Howard. negro % years old, made
a desperate dash for LIBERTY and was
drowned in the Cumberland River.

Monday night led a desperate band
of sixteen convicts to liberty from the
Tennessee Penitentiary.
Fifteen of the escaping party got
entirely clear of the premises and only
one, Ed Carney, a safe blower, sent up
from Nashville, paid the penalty OF
death in the bold undertaking.
Joe Loss and James Work were trac-
ed down by bloodhounds and captured,
but the rest of the prisoners had gotten
so far out of bounds that by midnight
no trace of them could be had.
The prisoners were furnished dyna-
mite from the outside, which they
used in blowing out an opening In
the main wing of the prison.
HYATT stood off the inside guard
with brace of revolvers, which had
also been furnished him from the out
side, while the men preceded him, ana

Immediately preceded the train rObber.
The dynamite was laid by Doe,

made good his escape with the train

Six of the prisoners that got away
were Government men and the others
were State convicts, some OF whom
were charged with grave crimes.

GEN. w. III. JACKSON
Will Retire from the Breeding of
Running Horses.

After more than thirty years devoted
&c improving the breed of thorough
bred race horses and the upbuilding OF
the American turf, Gen. William FL
jackson has decided TO retire from the
business of breeding horses. In ac~
cOrdance with his decision every
thoroughbred at the famous and beau
tiful Belle Meade will be sold at pub
lie auction on the premises on Oct. q
and %. 1902.
Continued i'll health. and the weight
of years are the moving causes OF this
determination on the part of the ven
cradle master of Belle Meade. No
man has done more than Gen. JaeRson
toward the upbuilding of the turf,
ana no breeding establishment in the
world has contributed so many great
and grand race horses to turf history
as has Belle Meade.
There will be no reservation in the
great sale which will disperse the
oldest, most famous and most highly
improved breeding establishment in
America. Every thoroughbred on the
place, including the world famous stall
lions and brood mares, every colt and
tilly. horses in training and weanlings.
will be gut under the hammer and
sold to the highest bidder. In all,
there are about $50 head to be disposed
of. Nashville American.

ANOTHER ATTORNEY IN TROUBLE.
Ben NJ. Binkley OF Nashville Leaves,
Owing $4,000.

For over two weeks the Office of Ben.
NJ. Binkley, on the second floor OF the
McGavOck building. on North Cherry
street, has been closed and locked, and
thereby hangs very sensational story.
Binkley, who is one of the best known
and most prominent young attorneys
of the Nashville bar. disappeared on
Friday night, July Is. and since his
disappearance the most startling devel-
opments. rumors with most sub
stantial basis are floating around that
he was financially embarrassed, and was
involved to the amount of 12.OO0 or
$50, 600.
The whereabouts of the young attor-
ney are unknown. For some days be-
fore he left he had been talking OF
going to jamestown, in Fentress Coun-
ty, for the purpose of closing up large
real estate deal and investigating the
title to the land. Binkley had also
made statements to the effect that he
would be absent from the city during
the month of August. 1t is not be-
lieved that he went to jamestown.
DEPARTURE DELAYED.
For about ten days before leaving,
BinKley was the attorney for some Of
the tenants in the Arcade case, This
litigation, it appears, delayed his
departure, as he had remarked to an
attorney that as soon as it was closed
he was going to East Tennessee to
look after transaction, and would
look into matter for the other attor-
ney while there. He had spoken of the
trip to East Tennessee number OF
times The litigation was settled and
Binkley fee is thought to have been
several hundred dollars. An investiga-
tion showed that all of the money due
the parties in this case had been paid
by the attorney. Nashville American.
