CONVICT TRUSTY TOOK
TO THE TALL TIMBERS
Had Been Granted Privileges Be-
cause of His Good Behavior.


Aaron Davis, one of the convicts en-
gagged in the work in Pioemaker
swamp, eluded the guard yesterday,
and escaped into the tall grass. Be
cause he had been an exemplary prls-
oner he was accorded the distinction of
being made a trusty, and was given
privileges not granted his fellow
knights of the stri2e. He was allowed
to do chores and carry water, and was
relieved of much of the drudgery which
his comrades in chains had to en-
counter.
But he misused the confidence placed
in him, and when an opportunity Of
fered he made good his escape. He
must have planned it for hardly had
the days work been begun when he
betook himself to the tall timbers. he
had not calculated on the dew which
covered the earth. and had the blood
hounds been available he would lave
quickly been run to cover. But they
were not, and the sun, rising, dispelled
the mists. and when the sleuth hounds
were put WISE it was too late. The
efforts of a posse were unaVailing,
and Davis is still at large.

The annual social session and banquet
of the Georgia Division, No. l, Uni
form Rank, knights of Pythias, was
held last night at Barbee's, Isle of
Hope. There were about fiftyfive
Knights in attendance. A special car
was chartered to carry them to and
from the festivities. The entertainment
consisted of an elaborate fish supper,
followed by a smoker and social ses-
sion, during which several toasts were
responded TO by prominent Knights
present. A most enjoyable evening was
passed by all.
After full justice had been done to
the elaborate menu, Sir Knight p. H.
Boone took up the duties of toast-mas-
ter, and several of the Knights present
were called upon for toaStS. Capt. X.
J. Davant responded to the toast, The
FraternaI Side of the Order and the
Uniform Rank" Capt. Davant brought
out the many advantages of the Pythl-
an organization from purely fraternal
standpoint, and especially those enjoyed
by the Uniform Rank.
Following the address by Capt. Da-
want, toasts were responded to by Sir
knights Charles Christian and William
Taylor. Sir Knight Dublin of chicago
ILL.,, who is in the city on business
trip. was present at the banquet, and
responded to call for an address.
Following the toasts the three prizes
offered by Sir Knight Joseph Loven-
stein were presented to the winners,
Sir Knights Sledge, Kean and jack
son. The prizes are offered for eX-
cellence in attendance, in drill and Tor
the greatest efficiency in the manual
exercise. The prize is So in gold IN
each case. The prizes were presented
to the three winners by Capt. Da-
want.
The regular fall and winter drills
of the Uniform Rank start on next
Wednesday night and will continue
without interruption until the hrst
Monday in May. At that time the del
egates from the Georgia division Will
leave for the sessions of the Grand
Lodge in Albany and the drills Will
be discontinued during the heated
months ensuing. Increased enthusl-
asm for beginning tt drills is shown
this year and an effort will be made
to raise the Georgia division to hlgn-
er standard of efficiency than ever this
year.
At a late hour the knights left the
banquet hall and returned to their
homes in the city, feeling we'll repaid
for their evening, which had resulted
in strengthening immeasurably the
social and fraternal ties of Pythianlsm
which bound them together. An en-
ioyable musical programme was rem
dered during the course of the pan
quet.

SCRANTON MAN 0UTD0ES
BARON MUNCHAUSEN

In his mail yesterday Mayor Myers
received a marked copy of the Scran-
ton (Pa.) Republican, containing an
article on Savannah that furnished no
little amount of amusement for those
in the Clerk of Council office.
In the article the race problem in
the South was discussed and
the alleged murder of ne
gro on trolley car about a
week ago was described. The
man who allowed the Repub-
licAn to interview him related
that the negro was shot and
instantly killed by the conductor
because he refused to change his seat
where he was sitting by a white girl.
The Scranton man declares that the
dead body was kicked off the car and
that nothing was ever done about the
matter.
Just where the Scranton man
purchased the pill he was smoking at
the time of the interview was given
out the article did not relate. Just
what became of the body is a mystery.

Mr.. T. s. Hayward Has Them Prison
ers from Washington County, Tex.
Mr.. T. S. Hayward, of T. S. Hayward
& Co, cotton merchants, has received
from Washington county, Texas, speci-
mems of the much talked of boil weeviI
which is damaging the cotton crop in
that state. The specimens are hermet-
ically sealed in a bottle, and it is Mr..
Heyward's Intention to keep them in
prison, for he does not consider they
will make desirable emigrants
Cotton planters may find it interest
ing to view the specimens in this firms
offices in view of the belief in some
sections that the boil weevil has made
its appearance in Georgia. Those in
formed on this say the insect is not
here. and this is generally accepted as
true. What some call boil weevil is
another insect.

MRS. THOMPSON
ABLE TO BE UP.

Mrs. Thompson, mother of Capt.
Walter Thompson, who sustained Sc
we're injuries in a fall some weeks ago,
is again able to be up. Mrs. Thomp-
son has shown wonderful vitality in
recovering so quickly from a fall that
would have almost have cost ones life
ordinarily. She is past three score
and ten. and got up one morning about
two weeks ago at 2 o'clock to see
where a fire in the neighborhood was
located. She went out on the back
porch, and in the darkness tripped and
fell down a fight of stairs. Fortu-
nately no bones were broken. and be-
yond few bad bruises Mrs. Thompson
suffered no injury.

RUNAWAY HORSE
CREATED EXCITEMENT.

A runaway horse attached to a cab
caused a lively excitement on West
Broad street last night about 10 o'clock.
and a number of pedestrians were
knocked off their feet before they
could get out of the way of the fleeing
animal, who rather chose the sidewalks
for his route, as the going there SEEM
ed to be more to his liking. He kicked
himself loose from the hack just be-
fore he reached the Union Station, and
made squirt just as he passed the
main entrance that suggested to the
minds of those who have attended the
races that the antiquated cob had seen
better days and had once in his life
felt the thrill of pleasure that flashes
over a horse when he flashes past the
grandstand a winner. The cob evident
ly thought the Union Station was
grandStand.

WILL BE BUILT ON PILlNG.
Part of the New city Hall Nearest
the River.

The workmen who have been bor-
ing little wells at the City Exchange
to determine what will be necessary
in preparing specifications for the
foundation for the new building, fin-
ished their work yesterday, and it now
appears that it will be necessary to
require piling for the foundation in
that part of the building nearest the
water front.
The soundings in the rear of the
building were made day before yes
terday, and after going down a dis
tance of seven feet the drill struck
quicksand. This may necessitate pill
ing for the entire foundation nearest
the river.
In the front part of the lot the men
sent the drill down to a depth of
twenty feet, and firm soil was encoun-
tered all the way. 1t is believed that
the foundation can be put down at
a cost within the bounds of an esti-
mate that was made by the architect.
Further tests will be made. however,
in the rear of the building to deter
mine whether or not excava ton cannot
be made below the quicksand bed that
was encountered,

The Republicans of Colorado now
admit their defeat and the election
Of Teller as U. S. Senator. They
have abandoned their separate organi-
cation and are again ready to labor
for their people in joint unison with
the Democrats. Governor Peabody
has stated that he sees no reason
why he should not sign the certifi
cate of election. This being the
case, Teller will take his seat with
out further opposition.

The Utah Legislature objects to be-

Utah's papers compared the memoirs
to the long cared alkali inhabitants Of
the great salt lake basin and the Leg

Legislature gets Off with only light
comparison as the above, it is lucky.
Worse things have been said of some
