ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE.

DIR. Sullivan, the Spectacle Vender, Now in
Jail. Caught in the Nick of Time.
DIR. Sullivan, of New York, who
was arrested some weeks ago and
placed in Jail on a serious charge,
made an Intellectual attempt to escape
from that institution Monday morn
ing at an early hour by digging out
the bricks from under one of the win
dows, but he was foiled by Sheriff
Maffett just in the nick of time.
At the usual hour Sunday evening
the prisoners were placed in their cells
and the locks securely fastened by
Deputy Calls. Will Thrasher occu-
pied the cell with DIR" Sullivan. In
what manner the lock was removed
or the means employed for its removal
cannot be ascertained. The gratings
are so close together that it is impos-
sible to pass two fingers between
them and as outside help is out of the
question a very ingenious method
was evidently employed by the willy
Doctor" AT any rate along about
one o'clock Sunday morning. the
Sheriff was aroused by a mysterious
noise proceeding from the Jail proper
and upon investigation he discovered
the Doctor at work removing the
brick and mortar from under one of
the windows on the west side of the
building. The surprise to the worker
was SO great that he threw up his
hands and made dive for his cell
where he was again securely locked
up.
A delay of fifteen minutes on the
part of the Sheriff in making the dis
covery would have resulted in a gen.
eral delivery of the prisoners confined
in the Jail as the work on reaching
the outside world was almost COM
pleted when the officer was aroused
from his slumbers.

Garrett County Notes.

The Deer Park correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun in his letter appearing
in Tuesday mornings issue of that
paper says:
In this part of Garrett county on
Sunday morning there was heavy
frost, with ice of good thickness.
These extra cold nights, however, oc-
cur only now and then, the days fol-
lowing being very similar to the fine
fall weather prevailing in Baltimore.
Thanks to the Maryland Game law,
Garrett county is reveling in an album
dance of game, and the residents are
much pleased that the law has been
so carefully observed and obeyed.
Heretofore shipments of pheasants
out of the county have really depriv-
ed residents of an opportunity to in
dulge in them. Rabbits are now so
plentiful that they can be purchased
at cents each and pheasants at 25
cents.
AS to the fertility of Garrett county
soil, heretofore treated in the columns
of the Sun, it may be mentioned that
Col. George Truesdell, proprietor of
Altamont Springs farm, raised during
the season some high grade sweet po-
tatoes; Mr.. Percy Proctor, who has a
delightful place on the heights of
Oakland, raised very superior quail
ity of muskmelon and Mr.. Miller, of
Swanton, just few miles from this
place on the 17-mile grade of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, raised some
very fine eggplants.
The Angora goat farm, located just
north of Oakland, is reported as not
doing very well. The flock has in
creased, it is true, but about an equal
number of those brought into the
county have died.
Fires on the side of the mountain
just across from the 17-mile grade be-
tween the first tunnel above Piedmont
and Frankville were raging Sunday
evening.

Bids Wanted.

The editor of this paper needs a
new suit of clothes, and herewith ad-
vertises for bids from clothing houses
to furnish same. The lowest bidder
gets the order. We would not do this
but we have caught the spirit from
some business men who now and then
want job work done, and that's the
way they do with the printers, go the
rounds with the order in their hands
and look up the cheapest John" they
can find and give him their business;
but when they want some business to
come their way they want the trade
of the man who works for living
prices. Send in your bids gentlemen
for a suit of clothes. Don't make any
difference about qnality; a suits a
suit.

A TRAGIC DEATH.
Thomas SOllars, of District No. 8, Almost
Blown to Pieces by Powder.

Thomas SOIIars, of District No. 8, Almost
Blown to Pieces by Powder.
With both arms torn off and his
face unacceptable as ever having
been human, yet in possession of all
his senses and perfectly rational, cog
infant of what had happend and
what was Transporting around him up
until almost the minute of his death.
was the experience of Thomas Sollars,
of District No. s, this county, who
was engaged until the time of the &C
cident which produced his death as a
mine foreman for the Upper Potomac
Coal Company, a new corporation
which was recently formed for the
purpose of developing coal lands
along the Potomac River in this
county.
Mr.. Sollars with his son, who is
about seventeen years of age, had
been in the mine in question at work
and at about five o'clock just as they
had completed their days work two
blasts were set in the breast of the
coal and fired The men then made
their exit to the mouth of the mine
and waited until the explosion took
place. One of the blasts went off but
the second failed and after waiting a
fe' minutes Mr.. Sollars went back
into the mine to ascertain the cause
much against the advice of his son,
who remained on the outside. Short
ly after the departure of Mr.. Sollars
into the mine the second blast ex-
ploded and as result he was so terri
bly, injured that his death ensued
about twenty-four hours later.
1t is thought that Mr.. Sollars reach
ed the breast of coal and was exanin-
ing the blast when the explosion took
place. At any rate an investigation
was made when he did not appear
and he was found lying on the floor
of the mine with both arms torn off,
his lower jaw in its entirety blown
away, eyes blown out and his skull
exposed and crushed in number of
places. AS soon as possible he was
carried to the open air outside the
mine and messenger dispatched to
Oakland for surgeon, DR.. Henry w.
McComas responding, who arrived
few hours after the occurrence and
who found the injured man as above
stated. Seeing that nothing could
be done to prolong the life of the suf-
ferer the physician made him as com
Portable as possible and left the house
about six o'clock the next morning at
which time Mr.. Sollars was in posses
sion of his senses, his heart beats be-
ing regular and although bereft of his
lower jaw his tongue still remained
and he could converse in monosyla-
bles with those about him. DR.. Nc
Comas stated that the sight present
ed by the injured man was the most
horrible he ever beheld and could not
account for the fact that the man
lived until last night about dark. He
was about fifty-four years of age and
had been engaged in mining for a
number of years.

THE THANKS OF MARYLANDERS.
Governor Smiths Proclamation For An
preaching Holiday.

Governor Smiths Proclamation For APP
preaching Holiday.
In his proclamation declaring
Thursday, November 81, Thanksgiv-
ing Day, Governor Smith calls atten-
ton to the holiday which has by CON-
mon consent become general day of
enjoyment in Maryland. His procla-
nation is in line with that of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, also naming that day
as one of thanks.
Governor Smith in his proclamation
advises the people of Maryland that
they have great cause to be thank
full that, through the mercy of AL
mighty God, we have been free from
pestilence and disaster, and have been
blessed with peace and prosperity
There was time when Thanksgiv-
ing Day was holiday more honored
in the churches than socially in the
South, but of late years it has gradu-
ally grown in Importance, until at
present it is a recognized institution.
1t is accepted as a precursor of the
joyous Christmas holidays. The day
is purely American. Many of its fea-
lures are distinctively so.
The settlement of the coal strike
will be the principal thing for which
thanks will be given this year, but
doubtless more earnestness will be
added to the prayers of the people if
good supply of black diamonds
reaches them by that time.
