Cur towns people were greatly ex-

that four prisoners had been SHOT

three others stretched upon the ioor,
all wounded more or less seriously.
The room showed signs OF terrible

and the walls and furniture being

The story of the attempted escape

we were enabled to gather is as fol

About this time Jim Miller an

CONAN HAS VERY NARROW ESCAPE Forced to Kill Negro In Self
 Defense WAS SERVING PAPERS
  Will Hudson Attacked Him and Cut Him on Left Arm and Made Nu- merous Holes In His
 Clothing.

In desperate fight yesterday afternoon about o'clock Deputy Sheriff A. Sic Cowan shot and killed Will Hudson, ne. gro. The deputy was severely cut in tn, left arm, and his clothing was cut in hall a dozen places.
 No cause is assigned for the negro's att tack on the deputy, who was serving pa pers on a negro woman with whom Hud- son was found The battle occurred in Fourth alley between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, and lasted three or four minutes.
 The deputy sheriff went to the house of a negro woman to serve some papers sum moning her to court. He knocked on the door and stepped inside. Hudson was in the room and at once attacked him with a big knife.
 The negro struck score or more times, but the knife reached the flesh only once. The negro cut gash in the left elbow an inch and a half long. and half an inch deep. Most of his stabs missed the mark entirely, but in six places the knife sever ed the overcoat and the coat under 1t. But for these thick garments the deputy would probably have been fatally wound ed, as one of the stabs was directly over his heart.
 Not Prepared for Attack.
 Deputy Cowan was not prepared for the attack, his pistol being in holster under his left arm. The negro struck at him at least a dozen times before he could draw the weapon, and he warded off the blows with his hands as best he could.
 Finally when the deputy got his pistol out he fired four times, three of the shots taking effect. The negro dropped dead in the yard of the house. the fight having gradually carried both of the contestants into the yard. One of the bullets entered the negro's heart another went in under his right arm and came out a few inches lower, and the third entered the back just below the shoulder blade.
 The negro was carried to a negro under takers on Fourth avenue between Nine teenth and Twentieth streets.
 Several Charges Against Him.
 It is supposed that Hudson, who was wanted by the police department on sev- eral charges, thought the deputy sheriff was after him and had come to arrest him, and that he made the attack for this reason.
 Hudson was 21 years old and lived with his mother on North Highlands He was about feet II inches tall and weighed about 160 pounds.
 Deputy Sheriff Cowan went to the sher- iffs office. where pr. ". F. McAdory at- tended to his injuries. He would not make any statement except that he acted in self defense and that the negro attack ed him without cause so far as he knew.

RAILROAD WORLD.

Relative to the recent Seaboard Air Line railway loan of $25OO,OOO for its Birmingham extension, the Wall Street Journal says:
 There has been very active demand for Seaboard securities recently on the Baltimore exchange, and in the New York market. The trading in the 4s was especially marked.
 The first mortgage As are well secured. The authorized issue is $75.00000, of which SIP, 900 are reserved in the treas- ury. Of the remaining $62, 800, GOO, $20,000, GOO are pledged as a collateral for the ten-year $1O,OOO,OOO 5s issue, and $29, 725,0 GOO are reserved to retire underlying bonds of subsidiary lines leaving $l277oWo in the hands of the public, which are first lien on 2s7 miles of road
 The prices of the preferred and common stock in the New York market have strengthened considerably since it has become known that the Ryan-Blair in- terests are much pleased with their in spection of the property and regard the outlook as very promising.
 There has been considerable speculation as to the terms upon which the Ryan, Blair syndicate agreed to advance money to the Seaboard few weeks ago and also as to the amount of the advance.
 It has been varousy reported from $2, ,O0O, GOO to $5,O0OOOO and the uncertainty has had a depressing effect upon the se- curities.
 It ha@ ,ecome known that the syndi- cate has advanced $25OO,OOO on unregis- tered notes secured by deposit of stocks which have been held in the company's treasury.
 These notes are redeemable at ten days notice and bear per cent. inter- est. This money has been advanced by the Morton Trust company, which ceives a commission of 11a per cent. for the loan. It has been inferred from this by Wall street banking interests that this advance is only temporary, and that new developments are impending which will tend to greatly benefit the Seaboard.
