Boat Tipped and Sank.
Flood Prevented Any AID From
Reaching Him.
Body Not Recovered. Relatives
in Kentucky Notified.

About 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon J. c. Pryor, resident en-
gineer of the o. q. s. w. railroad +,
was drowned m the Washita river
near the bridge which is in course
OF construction
The deplorable accident was
witnessed by half a hundred men,
but assistance could not reach
the drowning man.
The young man had been at
work with his corps on the line
east Of the river. Early yesterday
morning he crossed the Washita
and at the time OF the accident
was coming back to the west side
IN company with his taPe-man.
The river is very high from the
recent rains and is flowing at a
very rapid rate. Ropes have
been stretched across the river
TO assist the woFkmen in making
the crossing. Hundreds Of men
went back and forth yesterday
without accident. Mr., Pryor and
his companion probably did not
know how to manage the boat in
the swift current, or became ex-
cited. Those who witnessed the
accident say that when the boat
was about half way across the
river II was seen to tip from the
weight Of the tape-man who was
swinging the boat across. The
bow Of the boat went under and
Mr.. Pryor. who was in the other
end Of the boat, and awgy from
the rope, was thrown into the
water. He was carrying a heavy
surveying instrument and it is
probable that the care he exhibited
in protecting that aided in costing
him his life.
The current swept him away
quickly and not until the work
men heard his cries for help did
anyone realize that he was drown
ing. Other workmen had crossed
the river safely by swimming. Al
any rate, the current was so swift
that no one could have reached
him rs the only boat was carried
ooHa tho liver.
Searching parties were sent out
but at dark last evening the body
had not been found.
Mr.. Pryor was a young man
about 80 years of age. Every
man working on the road spoke
In the highest terms OF him and
deeply regret his sudden death.
He was from psnckard, KY, and q
telegram was at once sent to his
The tape-man who was il the
front part Of the boat got ashore
without assistance.

w. ii. Jones Bruised From Head to
Foot in Accident.

w. II. Jones. foreman for Smith
& Kelly, was the victim of a bicycle
accident at the corner of Congress and
Barnard streets yesterday at noon,
which resulted. as it was, in sufficient
number of bruises. and narrowly es-
capped being attended by still more Sc
rious consequences.
Jones was riding east on Congress
street and as he approached Barnard
was run into by two negro men on
wheels, whose bicycles pinned him and
his wheel against the sidewalk While
in this position a cab was driven lusti-
ly around the corner, and Jones was
knocked down by the horse and run
over by the vehicle
lie was bruised and cut from head
to foot, has face being mass of both
bruises and cuts, and his legs showing
up in similar shape. He seems to think
he also received internal injuries.
The responsibility for the accident
seems to be imputable to the cabman,
who instead of making a wide turn
around the corner of Congress street
and thus securing the right of the
road turned abruptly to the left. The
accident followed.

ESCAPES TOO FREQUENT.
County Commissioners Adopt New
Plan to stop Them.

\ new method of effecting the arrest
camps has been adopted and placed
in operation by the county commits
sioners, which, it is hoped, will have
a salutary effect. In the future all
TRUSTEES" will wear a badge, indicat-
ing their status, and all others are to
be arrested promptly on sight.
During the past year the commits
sioners have been greatly annoyed by
the frequency of escapes from the
camps, against which all precautions
have seemd TO be without effect. Many
of these escapes have been facilitated
by the operation of the trusty system.
The people of the city are accustomed
10 see men CARRIED in the convict stripes
on the street, some of whom are trus
ties and some escapes. Without the
ability to distinguish between the two
classes, no notice of either has been
taken.
Now a new plan is to go into effect.
Each trusty is to wear a badge of
cloth, twelve inches by four in extent,
with the word "Trusty" marked there
on in large letters. All others appear
ing at liberty are to be arrested.
The following order on the subject
adopted by the commissioners at a re-
cent meeting, was promulgated yester-
day:
Notice is hereby given that all con-
victs, in convict clothing. who do not
wear a badge with the word "trusty''
marked thereon, are escapes, and as
such are guilty of a misdemeanor and
should be arrested. The commission
ers will pay all expenses incident to
the arrest of such, if placed in Chat
ham county Jail"
The commissioners are not author
lied to offer a reward for the capture
of escapes or criminals of any kind,
but they can offer to and pay expenses,
and these they will pay literally Lib
eral expenses" is the term they use in
describing their intentions towards the
captors of escaped convicts.
The city authorities have been re-
quested to cooperate with the com
missoners in breaking up the prac-
tice and the aid Of the police will. of
course, be given. 1t is hoped that the
number and frequency of escapes,
through the medium of the new plan.
will be largely decreased.
