L. D. Young Dead.

Mr.. Lucian D. Young died very sud.
denly at his home on the Middlebrook
road near this city Saturday morning.
He had been sick for some weeks, but
up to short time before his death his
illness was not considered alarming.
He was native of Augusta, having
been born near this city and was son
of the late David s. Young, in his
time prominent member of the
Staunton bar, and Helen Kemper
Young. For many years Mr.. Young
was engaged in the dry goods business,
and later followed other lines of bust
ness. The deceased is survived by his
wife, who before her marriage, was
Miss Anna Woodward, one brother,
Prof. Charles E. Y Dung, of this city,
and three sisters, Mrs. w. G. Camp, of
Richmond, Miss Bette Young, of Ala
bama, and Miss Matte Young, also of
this city. His wife, Mrs. Camp, and
Miss Matte Young were at his bed
side during the last hours.
The funeral took place Sunday at
ternoon from the Second Presbyterian
church, the services being conducted
by Rev. DR.. w. N. Scott. assisted by
Rev. w. Q. Hullihen. A large con-
course of people attended the very i'm
pressed services.

Sh0Wered with Rice.

Tuesday morning quite an excited
crowd of young people were joyously
engaged in throwing showers of rice
upon the devoted heads of two blush
ing young people as they boarded the
G Il D. fast train No. Eastbound.
The happy recipients of all this merry
making had just left the Methodist
church of this city, where a few mo-
ments before they had been united in
the holy bonds of matrimony by the
the Rev. l. w. Canter, d. D., pastor of
that church. The interesting pair was
Miss Cornie Bell, the beautiful nine
teen year-old. da lighter of Mrs. H. A.
Keller, of this city, and Mr.. Leslie H.
Burke. of Covington, Va.
Quite number of friends and rela.
tives attested the popularity of the
young people by their presence both at
the church and at the depot. Mr.. John
F. Crosby, grandfather of the bride
rendered the wedding party a hand
some reception Monday night at his
residence.

Wallace Show Perfor mers.

Whether the spectator be a lass from
the farm or belle from the social set
she is sure to admire the lady perform.
ers with the Great Wallace Shows,
which will exhibit in Stanton on
Monday, Oct. 5.
In the circus ring is one place where
a woman has an equal chance with her
male companion. AS rule she draws
a higher salary, receives the greater
applause and more Communications
from the management, than does the
male performer. Notwithstanding
their high salaries and the scarcity of
performers worthy of being featured
with show of the magnitude of the
Great Wallace Show, probably more
lady performers can be seen with that
show than with any other six shows.
At the head of this large number
stands beautiful Blanche Reed, one of
the half dozen acrobatic equestrlennes
who have attained eminence as bare
back rider. Her routine or repertoire
OF feats and evolutiOns is so varied
that she can completely change her act
at every performance for days at a
time. In all she does there is naught
that is commonplace. She scorns the
and abhors the conventional.
In the vernacular, she begins where
the others leave off, and ends with an
achievement of aero
battle agility that is apparently uDat-
and past belief unless seen
with ones own eyes.

Bold Attempt at Jail Delivery.

An unsuccessful attempt at Jail de
livery was made a the county jail here
Monday night by two desperate pris
oners each confined and awaiting trial
on the charge of murder. The pris-
oners are VIM. Massey and Jno. Ken
nedy, who until the night in question
occupied the same cell, the cage in
which Lawrence SpilIer was confined
previous to his execution and was re-
garded the strongest. of the prison
cells.
Massey and Kennedy growing weary
OF confinement set about their own
liberation in an ingenious way. With
piece of iron pipe from the heating
apparatus, a rod from the iron bed
stead and a bar from the sink they
contrived to slide back the bolt and
prize off the three locks to the cell door.
With this accomplished they had the
liberty of the outer corridors of the
Jail and immediately began work on
one OF the windows which now alone
stood between them and liberty.
While at work on the bars of this last
restraint they were Interrupted by
the sudden appearance of police officers
Cline and Holt, who entered the build
ing to lock up drunken negro.
Massey, it is said, stood at the head of
the stairs with heavy piece of pipe to
brain the intruders, but on discover
ing there were two. they covered and
retreated to their cage. George Jones,
q prisoner. informed the officers of
what was going On. At the outer
window they found the evidences of
the intended escape. Several blankets
were found near by which they in
tended to tear into ribbons and by
noting them make rope of escape as |
soon the window bars were broken. |
At their cell doors were found the
broken locks.
The negro Jones who had served a
six months sentence was serving an
additional term to satisfy the fine that
was imposed in addition to his SEN
tence. For bis service to the State in
giving information of the intended
escape his fine was RENTED and he
was liberated.

WALL BULGEs OUT.
Murphy Writes It Looks Like It Might
Slide Into the Canal.

The Commissioners have received a com
municat!on from Robert Murphy of ia .
street southwest calling their attention to
the fact that the wall recently put up by
the government on the James Creek canal
has bulged out and looks like 1t might In
very short time slide into the canal and
entirely stop navigation.
The writer calls attention to the dredging
matter which has been run into the canal
and formed a bar SO that boats cannot get
in except at very high water.
He declares if the bar is not removed and
the authorities do not cease to pump the
matter in the canal 1t will be but short
time when even the lightest boats will not
be able to pass over at highest tide.
Mr.. Murphy says he has had four boats to
hang up on the bar within the past few
weeks, one Of which remained grounded for
five days.
Col. Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner,
has suggested that the writer be informed
the matter has been taken up with the au-
thorities Of the Washington barracks so as
to have it remedied.

FINED TWENTY DOLLARS.
Young Man Convicted of Giving In.
toxicants to Insane Patients.

James P. Vernstein, nineteen years of age
an apprentice in the navy yard, who resides
with his parents at 1901 Sd street southeast.
was convicted in the District branch of the
Police Court today on a charge of disor-
derby conduct and was given the alternative
by Judge Scott of paying a fine of $50 or
being imprisoned in the District Jail for a
term Of six months. The fine was paid.
The young man was brought into court
on a warrant issued at the instance of Dr.
E. L. Clark, physician attached to st.
Elizabeth's Asylum for the Insane, because
of his alleged improper conduct while with
in the asylum grounds Wednesday after
noon last. In addition to DR.. Clark, who ap-
reared as a witness. two attendants from
the institution gave evidence against Vern-
stein.
1t was In evidence that the defendant and
another young man who is not known by the
authorities, visited the asylum Wednesday
afternoon. which was visiting day, and
while in the grounds met and engaged in
conversation two young ladies who are pa
tients at the institution, but who are al
lowed the privileges of the grounds, and
that after the young men left the patients
mentioned were found to be In state Of
intoxication. Upon investigation an empty
flask was found where the party had been
seen together in grove of trees.
Vernstein denied emphatically that he
gave the young ladies any liquor. He said
his friend. who is prize fighter, had a
flask of sherry in his possession which he
used for mouth wash, but did not state
whether or not the patients drank any of
II. Several witnesses for the young man
gave testimony that he bore an excellent
character and did not use liquor
In disposirg of the case Judge Scott said
that it was regrettable that such an affair
should have occurred. and that under the
evidence he would have to adjudge the de-
PENDANT to be guilty of the charge.
