JAIL DELIVERY
AT MOUNT VERNON.
Negro Hid Under Blankets and Sur
prised Tailor.

Mount Vernon, Ga, Sept. 24.-This
town had a Jail delivery to-day at noon.
When Mr.. owen Higgs, the jailer. went
to feed the prisoners in the rear of the
building in a large cell where four ne
groes were confined, George Underwood
concealed himself under a lot of ban-
kets and when the door was opened to
pass in the buckets he sprang upon the
jailer, overpowecing him and taking
the keys; then going downstairs to the
front door he unlocked it and all the
men escaped into branch near by
Assistance was received as quick as
the alarm was given. A party hasten
ed in pursuit and succeeded in captur-
Ing two OF the escapes. George In
derwood, the originator of the plan, is
still at large but will in all bility
be captured tonight. One of the white
prisoners, r. Wilkes who has been con-
fined in Jail for the past two months,
for cutting his brother-in-law, Bruce
Mcleod, did all in his power to prevent
xhe escape of the negroes but in their
sad rush for freedom they ran over
him.

STATE is TRYING
TO SHOW MOTIVE.
Tried to Prove Mrs. Griffin Loved
Another Man.


Eatonton. Ga, Sept. 24.-In their eff
forts to prove a cause or motive for
commitment of crime by Mrs. Griffin,
the state counsel introduced witnesses
to show that back of the terrible trag-
edy which ended in the untimely death
of John Griffin was an estrangement
between John Griffin and his wife,
caused by the infatuation of Mrs. Crit
fin for another man. This man is DR..
L. o. McCalla of this place, John Crit
fms family physician.
All the evidence offered at this point
was wholly by negroes and hardly
trustworthy. In her statement to the
jury Mrs. Griffin positively denied any
improper conduct towards her on NC
Calais part, and he, under oath,
averred he had never visited Griffin's
house except when sent for and in
the capacity of a practicing physician,
or on some business with Griffin him
self. DR.. McCalla enjoys the respect
and confidence of the public.

county for the second time voted to-
day for" and against" $4,000 bonds
for the new court house, now beiag

the out-of-t town precincts have report

precinct goes for bonds by 900 majority,
there is every reason to believe that
bonds have been authorized, as 500 is
the necessary two thirds There was
considerable displeasure aroused by

MYSTERY SHROUDS
ATTEMPT To KILL
Pittsburg Man Called to Door
and Shot Down.
NO cLEw TO THE AssAILANr.
At Midnight Loud Ringing Summoned
Prominent Contractor to Door and
Answering Bell, He Is Shot by Some
One From Darkness.

Pittsbmg, Jan. 31.-C. d, Allison, a
well known electric contractor of this
city, was called to the front door of
his home in Sheridan, suburb, at
las O'Clock this morning and shot
down by an unknown person. The
bullet entered Mr.. Allison's left side
near the heart and it is feared the
wound will prove fatal
Mr.. Allison was awakened shortly
before 2 o'clock by loud ringing at
the front door. Securing his revol-
Yer he descended and opened the
door, No one was there and he STEP
ped onto the porch and was pgering
into the darkness when a shot was
fired from the house and Mr.. Allison
was shot through the side. He quick.
ly raised himself by the porch rail
ing, however, and fired three shots af-
ter the assassin. Mrs. Allison rush
ed down and found her husband half
kneeling and half hanging on the
porch. She dragged him inside and
physician was quickly summoned,
but on account of Mr.. Allison's condi-
ton no attempt was made to extract
the bullet.
No reason is known for the attempt
On Mr.. Allisons life, and the identity
of the man who fired the shot is a mys-
terry. 1t is said that an Internal ma
chine was sent to Mr.. AllisAn last
Tuesday, but it failed to work when
the box was opened.
This morning it was said that the
shooting is the result of political trou
BILE which Mr.. Allison has had IN the
borough. Another reason given for
the shooting is that by some it is
thought that Mr.. Allison is connected
with the anti-saloon league, as the
box containing the revolver was di-
rected to &c. B. Allison, secretary of
the nti-saloon league, Sheridan
1t was denied that Mr.. Allison is in
any way connected with the league.
After all examination of the wound
this morning the physicians stated
that Mr. Allison was not fatally hurt,
The bullet entered the left breast and
without piercing the lung lodged in
the right shoulder.
There is not the slightest clew.
Mr. Allison is 48 years of age. and
is manager of the Sheridan Electric
company.

A posse of so men went In search of
Rogers early Tuesday morning.

Ing creek, He was asked to come
out and surrender, but replied that

awares. At the time he was lying
by a fire sound asleep. In one hand

ity. Twice before this he has been

SAXON CROWN PRINCE
MAY GIVE Up THRONE
Said He Will Renounce Sue
cession In Sons Favor.
REASON FOR HIS DECISION.
Strict Military Code of Honor Makes
Him Ineligible For Certain Duties.
He Has Appealed to Emperor to Re-
Iieve Him of All Military Position.

Berlin, Jan. 31-A curious story
widely told in the provincial and Ber-
In papers this morning is that the
crown prince of Saxony is determined
to renounce his succession to the
throne in favor of his son, George,
who is 10 years of age.
The reason given is that the mill
tary code of honor does not permit a
husband wronged as he has been, to
remain in the service, and the crown
