Will ToIIiver, coIored, and Dan
Brown, Make Escape While Doz-

One of the smoothest and boldest jail deliveries on record in t'li. city occurred last Sunday night, when two prisoners confined in the city jai, at the new city hall made good their escape by prying open the lock on che outside cage of the jail. The names Will Tolliver, the former White lnall and the latter a negro.
 The work is believed to have been done by Will TolliTar, who has an eX- tensive reputation as a jail breaker, and very few jails in which he has ever been confined have served to hold him in the past.
 The delivery occurred early in the evening, while perhaps a dozen off cers and others were sitting in the lobby of the police station, about twenty feet away only a door sepa- rating them from the city jail. The lock to the outside cage was brass one. With spring, and the prisoners simply pried it open with a rod of some description, thus opening the iron grated door and deliberately walking out through the door open ing into the stable where the horses are kept, making their exit by way of State street
 Three other prisoners were confin- ed in the outer cage of the jail at the time, but were asleep when the dellv- cry occurred The first intimation the officers had of the affair was when one of these prisoners walked into the police station and told them about it. A search was at once instituted fer the two missing men, but up to the present time all efforts to recap rlre them have been unavailing.
 Dan Brown was serving out $I5 fine, imposed by Police Judge Toney for carrying a pistol and dirk. Will Tolliver was placed in the jail late Sunday afternoon by Deputy Consta' b]e Robert Johnson, co1ored, for safe keeping until Monday, when he was to be turned over to the justice on some minor charge. Constable Frank Stewart, upon learning who the pris- oner was, at once declared that Tol- liver was responsible for the delivery for he is thoroughly acquainted with the regulations of most of the crlm' irYals in this section of the country Constable Stewart did not know mat his deputy had placed the man in the city jail, and declared that he would not have permitted it if he had known ohout inc matter. for he knew the ne- gro would not stay in the jail.

BODY OF PRINCE MACK, COL oRED, FOUND NEAR THE
 ROADSIDE.
suoposed to Have Died From Expos ure and Effects of Christ
 mas "Jag.'

Prince Mack, a negro, was 1ouho dead in the woods, about i've miles from Pine Bluff, on the Monticello road on Saturday. The inquest was held bv Coroner McGaughy Sunday, and the evidence tended to prove that Mack was drunk and lay down upon the ground, where he died from freez- ing and drunkenness. A MT. Bell testified that Prince passed his house on Friday in staggering condition of intoxication, and it was near NIT, Bells house that Mack's body was found. On the body were found s4o in money and portion of watch chain. It is alleged that Prince honobt watch in Pine Bluff before starting out home. but only small ncrtion of the chain was found Ill t' butonhole of his vest. He had been to Pine Bluff to sell a couple of bales of cotton. which brought him S1ol.5o. Only $40 of this money was touna OH his nerson. It is probable that some body robbed Mack of his watch, ana maybe a portion of his money. MacN resided on the Price plantation. ne was a well known negro, and bore a good reputation for industry.

Those who witnessed the battle de clare it was the n1ost efficient work eyer put in by a fire department ia this city.
 The extent of the joss has not been accurately estimated yet, but it is un. derstood that the building was fully insured. Friends and nei2hbors sue ceeded in getting the household ef fects out without much damage to them.
 The old Smart residence was erect ed in 1859, and is one of the land marks of the city. Universal regret is expressed over it's partial destruc ton by the flames, and the hope is expressed that the old building will be reconstructed along the same lines as it formerly was, as a matter of sen timent.
 X cottage at S10 Missouri street was burned Sunday night, and was a total loss. It contained only three rooms. and was occupied by MT Planllinship. The loss is estimated at about S400
 The department also had run Sun. day night to 40 West Second avenue where bad chimney had set fire tc the roof. The fameswere eXtinguish ed with chemicals, and Fire Chle1 ShultZ. after examining the chimney condemned it, and forbade the occu- pants using it longer. The house IS occupied by negro named Dosle' The damage was about Slo.
 These make fifteen runs that the department has made already duf1hs the month of, December, and thefe are vet five more days in the month Gut of the fifteen runs made, ght oi the alarms were fires. The boys are earning their salaries.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS IN THE CIRCLES OF THE OPEL c,AL DEPARTMENTS OF
 THE CITY. Several Handsome resentat'ons With Presentation Speeches
 and Responser.

Perhaps there was not a happier and ,jollier set of people ill all the city on Christmas day than the members of the cty's official family, consisting of the police and fire departments, headed by Mayor H. King White, who congregated at the private office of Chief of Police Stewart at 3 O'CLOCK Christmas morning for an exchange of Christmas surprises and good Will toward each other. Mayor White dropped in soon after that hour and after calling him into the chiefs pfl- yate office, where crowd of city em- ployes and friends had congreSateo' Chief Stewart arose and turning to- ward the mayor said:
 General White, there are things Tn the life of every man that, while pleasant. are at the same time render ed most unpleasant. One or these things. for me, is to make a speech Of presentation, for I am no speaker. But he1ieye me when I state that my en- barrassment in making this talk IS more than overbalanced by the ex' treme pleasure afforded ne in being chosen by the police and fire depart ments of this city to present to you this slight token of their good Will, Whcreupon the chief handed Mayor White an elegant ebony cane, with solid gold head, on which was inscrip ed.

Someone in the house GiScov- cred tie entire roof in flames about [ o'clock in the morning. The alarm was at once turned on.

The exceed naly bad condition of Olive street. down which the department had to drive, also lost the boys some little time in reaching the scene
 When they finally began their combat with the mighty fire god. the whole upper story was in flames. and II seemed that no earthly power could save the big building from total de- struction. Then for more than an hour hundreds of spectators who had consregated at the scene witnessed one of the prettiest fights against ire ever seen here. It was skill pltted against nature. For Q time it appear cd impossible for the firemen TO con- ouer. but they finally succeeded The lower part of the building was saved, hnt of course considerably damaged hv water, and the wall paper and mirror accessories of the building were lost The roof was burned of, and fhe urney story was consldefaels damaged. but some of it was saved.

THE POOR REMEMBERED.

Perhaps there were no children in the city who rejoic7d more Christmas day than the forty-three children who. had it not been for the efforts of Rev. Sam s. Holcomb, city mis- sionary. would have had no Christ mas. He gave each boy a toy, to the girls dolls, and each a useful pook and sack of candy, orange, and ba- mas, supplying each with such cloth- ing as was needed. Thirteen sick and unfortunate grown people were supplied with clothing, food, wood and bedding. A thank you and God bless you, came from many lips.
