at the conference and from many
States large delegations may attend.
The Governor stated yesterday
morning that immigration would DE
the paramount matter to be discussed
at the Chattanooga meeting, and as
many North Carolinians are interested
in this subject, he hoped that the
mayors of towns. as we'll as delegates
from chambers of commerce and other
industrial organizations, will go.
He said he would urge upon the
conference the necessity for paying
the working people higher wages, and
declared that until this has been done,

HANDCUFFED, BUT
MADE HIS ESCAPE
Negro Rapist OutWitted
a Sheriff.
ON WAY TO PRISON
Ernest Scott, CoIored Boy, 10 Years
Old, Easily Gained His Liberty
Yesterday Afternoon and is
Supposed to be in
Oberin.
ON WAY TO PRISON

There is perhaps not on record in
this State a more unusual escape of
convict than one which occurred
here yesterday afternoon. Sheriff
James +. Harris, of Cabarrus county,
arrived from Concord on the after
noon train, which was late, and he
had in his custody a negro youth
eighteen years of age, Ernest Scott,
convicted of an attempted criminal
assault upon a colOred girl, eighteen
years old. Scott was tried at the last
Term of CabarruS criminal court, and
sentenced to ten years in the peniten-
tiary.
Sheriff Harris to ensure the safe
carriage and placing of the prisoner
in the penitentiary, brought him to
Raleigh himself. His train arrived
here after five o'clock, and he pro-
ceeded directly TO the States prison.
The darkcy was handcuffed, and TO
the cuffs was attached a heavy iron
chain eight feet in length. Just as
the sheriff and his prisoner approach
ed the block house, east Of Boylan
Avenue bridge (they were walking up
the railroad the negro broke and
ran. The chain fell to the side of the
sheriff, end for a few seconds it SEEM
ed that he was daZed. He called out
to the fleeing negro to stop, or he
would be shot, but the man kept go
ing, end the threat to shoot only in
creased his speed. But there was no
shooting, however, as the sheriff, un
accustomed to carrying a gun, had
neglected to bring one with him. The
negro jumped into a field Of weeds,
where once stood the ice factory, and
soon disappeared. The sheriff ran
after him, but wore a heavy over
coat and was completely outdistanced
by the black man. Sheriff Harris soon
gave uD the chase, as he did not know
the direction the negro had continued
in, and was unaccuStomed to that To-
cality. It is supposed that the es-
capped prisoner found an exit on Boy
Ian Avenue, and went from that street
to Morgan, following it out past the
penitentary and on west of the city,
making his way to Oberlin, where he
was helped out by negroes, that place
being formed of a colored popula-
ton.
The chief of police and the sheriff
were notified of the escape, and oii1-
GERS are in pursuit of the rapist, but
at a late hour last night he had not
been heard from.
Sheriff Harris was seen last night
and was suffering greatly from an in
iured limb, having ruptured the calf
of his left leg in running after the ne
gro He said it was a deep mystery
to MIN how his prisoner succeeded IN
ioosening the chain to which his hand
cuffs were fastened. The chain was
wrapped around the wrist of Sheriff
Harris, and the other end had been
fastened firmly to the irons on the ae-
gro's hands.

URGES ALDERMEN
TO REFUSE REQUEST,
Newark Evening News Has Some
thing to Say About Grade
Crossings Here.

The Newark Evening News, in an
editorial last night, had the following
to say regarding the request of j. II.
Gregory to build a spur of the Central
railroad across three streets in this
city:
eff the citizens and the authorities
of Perth Amboy are wise they will
politely, but positively, refuse per-
mission to the Central Railroad Com
pany to construct a spur across anv OF
their streets at grade. Perth Amboy
had during the past decade the m ost
rapid increase in population of any
city in this state, and the prospects
are that it will continue to grow with
undiminished celebrity. If the streets
sought to be crossed at grade are
sparsely populated now, they will
soon be filled with houses and fac
tories, and the peril'of each of these
crossings will increase in proportion
to the population and traffic on the
streets. The time will not be long
when every such crossing will be a
nuisance and a death trap, and when
it will have to be abolished at great
cost. 1t is a good thing to abolish
grade crossings, but it is better not to
allow them to be constructed. The
Perth Amboy citizens are showing a
c~ommendable interest in this matter,
for they are preparing petitions to
council and using all their influence
to prevent the adoption of the grade
crossing ordinance. The state ought
to take hold of this subject of grade
crossings and prohibit the building OF
any new ones in any city or borough.
The matter has been before the legis-
lature for a number of years, but that
body has not had the courage to act
upon it,"

TANCLE DISCOVERED
IN ELECTION LAW.
Act AbOIishing Spring Elections
Makes No Provision for Method
of Nominations.

TRENTON, Aug. 1S:-A tangle
has been discovered in chapter 8 OF
the laws passed by the last legisla-
ture and approved by Governor
Stokes February Is, ab~olishing
spring elections in townships and bor-
oughs and combining them with the
general election in November. The
mix-up is giving the county and mu-
nicipal political committees consid-
cradle trouble and the local DEM
ocratic committee has referred the
matter to Attorney General McCar-
ter for an opinion to set the mat
ter straight.
The bill was assembly No. Z, in
troduced by Mr.. ellis of Camden coun-
ty, and affects all officers except
members of school boards or school
trustees. Under its provisions the
terms of all officers except justices
of the peace hereafter elected in any
township or borough shall commence
at 400 January l, succeeding their
election, and continue for the re-
spective terms already fixed by law.
This law makes it necessary to nom
mate and elect November Z all the
officers in the townships and Dor
oughs that would have been elected
last spring under the old law.
The hitch in the arrangement is
that the new law is absolutely silent
as to the manner of nominating the
candidates outside the cities. This
leaves it an open question whether
the primary election law as applied
to cities should govern and the can
didates for township and borough
officers be named in caucus, as under
the old law.
The situation is complicated by
the fact that on or before Sep
TENDER 2 all petitions endorsing can
didates must be filed with the town
ship or municipal clerk, and the COM
mittees have nc authority as to how
to proceed to meet this requirement.
Benjamin Godshalk, acting for the
local Democratic city committee, re-
ferred the question to the attorney
general several days ago, but no
decision has yet been rendered.

THE MISER'S HAND.
By ERNEsrus eALEsTRA.


One evening" many years ago. a fe-
male, completely enveloped in a long,
black mantle, was walking toward the
bridge of the Rialto, in Venice. Her
steps were weak and uneven, and at
intervals she looked around with a
hurried, frightened glance.
She paused at the center of the
bridge, and looked down with a shud-
der on the clear blue waters of the
Adriatic; then, closing her eyes. and
murmuring family, "Antonio-my An
tonio-adieui" she prepared to throw
herself Over the parapet.
Just as she was falling a man rushed
forward, seized her with a powerful
grasp and, drawing her back, said:
Girl. destroy not the life which has
been given you! If you are unhappy,
enter your church, kneel on its hal
lowed pavement, pour out your sorrow
and thank your Maker that you have
been preserved from rushing into lis
presence!"
The girl tried impatiently to shake
off the strong, kind hand that held her,
and said;
Let me go! must die in ~peace!"
In another moment she tottered and
fell to the ground, where she lay with
out sense or motion. Her preserver
raised her head, and, in order to give
her air, drew back the veil which o n
cealed her features. They were love-
ly, and the man gazed on her with Won
der and admiration as she was gradu-
ally restored.
BY degrees she told him who she
was and where she lived. Her history
might be summed up in a few words:
