Noted Murderer Breaks jail.

James Burns, the noted murderer
OF Covington county, escaped from
Jail at Williamsburg last week. He
was under sentence to be hanged on
June 8. He killed a fellow laborer
while at work on the Gulf & Ship
Island railroad in Covington county
several months ago. He was indict-
ed for murder and convicted before
Judge Enochs. When Burns was
called up before the bar Of the court
to be sentenced he created a great
sensation by roundly abusing the
judge and insulting him in coarse
and vulgar language. He appeared
to be thoroughly Indifferent to his
fate and made himself notorious, by
his seeming GOODNESS. No particulars
are given, but it is confidently be-
lieved that Burns was assisted in his
escape by confederates, as the class
to which he belongs are clannish and
desperate when driven to straits.
His case was appealed to the SUI
preme Court, and the brief submit
ted was by Burns himself in his own
behalf, although it was drawn by
some lawyer who took that much in
terest in his case. A reward will
doubtless be offered for his capture,
and every effort will be made to
bring him to justice.

been collected show a large increase
over any other first seven months of a
year. 1t was "a question how the war
dens We're to be paid before the funds
accruing from the sale of hunters Ii
censes would be available for use And
as these fees only are available for the
purpose of paying wardens, the Legis-
lature passed an act, last winter, en-
towering the Governor and Council to
borrow. temporarily. from the fish fund
to pay the men with, until the license
money should be available.
It has not yet been necessary to do
this. The receipts from fines and sale
of licenses so far the present year has
been ample to pay all the wardens'
though the number has been increased
by four which is considered a very good
showing. AS soon as the license money
is at hand the number of wardens will
be still further increased.

ham received a letter from Rear Ad-
miral Barker, commanding the North
Atlantic fleet, informing him that the
Maine Naval Reserve would be taken
on board a vessel of the squadron at
Rockland for the war maneuVres on
Aug. "a. The place of embarkation
is somewhat of surprise to the Naval
Reserve officers, as they anticipated
that the usual custom would be fol
lowed of sending a vessel into Port
land to embark the men. Going to
Rockland will make much more work
and expense for the State. but as at
this time Portland is supposed to be
in a state of seige and blockaded by
a hostile fleet, it is probable that the
naval officers do not desire to risk
sending a battleship into that port.

of embarkation may be changed. the
