PRISONERS KEPT
 IN THEIR CELLS
ATTEMPT ON THE PART OF PRlS- OVERS OF THE COUNTY JAIL TO ESCAPE CAUSES GREATER VIG- ILANCE-A BAR IS SAWED.

Strict orders have been given by the white department of the county jail be kept in their cells, and at present they are not allowed to walk in the corridors during certain hours, as heretofore, even under guard.
 This order was given Monday night as result of what it is supposed to have been an attempt of some of the prisoners to escape. The attempt to gain freedom was made late Monday afternoon. one of the bars over the opening to an air shaft was sawed, and as a deputy sheriff was walking through the Jail he suddenly came upon Ernest Dicbey as he was sticking his legs through the opening He was at once locked up In his cell and since then all of the prisoners are confined every minute of the day and night to their individual cells.
 A thorough search has been made to find the instrument that was used in saving the bar, but nothing has been found. It is said one of the prisoners as serts that the work was done with a very small pocket knife.
 As soon as the sawed bar was discover ed a search of every prisoner in the jail was made. but no saw was found
 The iron bar that was sawed is one of several that covers an air shaft which opens into the jail corridor a foot from the floor. If prisoner had succeed ed in getting into the shaft without be- ing discovered, and had gone through the shaft, he would have landed in the colored female prisoners department, and would then have had to make his es- cape from that department of the jail.
 The utmost vigilence Is now being ob- served at the county jail, and the inside night warden makes the rounds at fre- auent intervals.

 The net income of the Louisville and Nashville for the past six months was at the rate of 107 per cent per annum on the present outstanding capital stock But, as has been frequently shown, the net income as reported does not show the actual profits earned. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902 the actual pro- fits earned amounted to about $7 O0O OOO. This figure is arrived at by adding to- gether the net income earned as shown by official reports and the improvement account charged to operating expenses and the earnings of the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St. Louis stock owned by the Louisville and Nashville. Adding the increase as shown In the net earnings for the past six months and the Nash vile and Chattanooga increase for the same period to the profits of the last fis- cal year. it shows profits at the rate of Ss, 300 coo per annum. which Is equal to 14.5 per cent on Louisville and Nashville stock

devised from time to time, such as sprays, snuffs creams and other local applications, but as rule the medical profession has little or no enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh. It is generally pronounced by them to be incurable.
 It therefore created a great sensation in medical circles when Dr. Hartman an- nounced that he had devised compound which would cure catarrh permanently.
 The remedy was named Peruna, and in a short time became known to thousands of catarrh sufferers north, south east ana west.
 Letters testifying to the fact that Pe- runa is a radical cure for eatarrh began to pour in from all directions
 Thousands of such letters are on file in the office of The Peruna Medicine Co.
 Rev. E. Stubenvoll. Pella, Wis, writes: "I feel obliged to extend you my per sonal thanks for my complete restora- ton. All through the winter I suffered from throat and lung trouble, but recov7 cred my entire health by the use of your excellent remedy. Peruna."

L. N. MEN STILL CONFER.
Anticipated Unanimous Acceptance
 Appears to Be Doubtful.

Louisville, January 1.-The grievance committee of the locomotive engineers of the Louisville and Nashville railroad was in session all day and far into the night and the anticipated unnanimous accent ance of the counter proposition of the railroad management to the mems de- mands for higher wages now appears to be doubtful.
 The members of the committee are unit in agreeing to accept the offer of the company regarding wages, but the trouble arises from the minor details of the demand and the counter proposition. The railroad officials and the engineers alike, positively refuse to discuss the subject
 A conference with Mir. Evans will be held tomorrow morning.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Tim Murphy.

"Old Innocence" as presented by Tim Murphy and company at the Jefferson last night was of that old school of plays which are always popular. It was the second presentation of the play here this season, but in spite of that the house was fairly well filled.
 MT. Murphy as J. Green did some very finished work and at the close of the per- formance told some happy little stories bringing out his wonderful ability at facial expression. The part of Olive Green is ceverly taken by one we'll known in Birmingham and who still plays under her old name-Miss Louise Whit field.
 J. R. Armstrong at Flint Green, brother to Mir J. Greefi does the part creditably.

The coming appearance of Creatore and his Italian band at the Jefferson theatre next Monday and Tuesday and Tuesday matinee promises to be revela- tion in many ways to our concert and amusement patrons.
