A CLEVER RUsE,
Negro Murderer's Unsuccessful At
 tempt to Escape.

Demopolis, June 24.-(Special.)-Ths news comes from Linden of a cleverly planned attempt to escape from the Is held under the sentence of death for the murder of Dr. Foscue.
 According to the story, a few nights ago the prisoner took off his clothing, stuffed them with the cell blankets and then hung the dummy. This done, he crouched close up in the corner of his cell and begun making a noise imi- tating some one strangling. The noise attracted the attention of the jailer, who hurriedly went up to the cell and with hts lantern peered through the cell door from the outside and discov- cred the hanging object. The jaileT help. number of gentlemen came to his assistance and they returned to the jail and made another search of the cell from the outside without unlock ing the door. By use of a mirror and lanterns they discovered the prisoner in the corner of the call near the door holding in his hands a large piece of iron piping.
 When questioned about the reasons for his actions the negro refused to talk. It is clear from the facts, how ever, that he thought when the jailer first came up to investigate the noise and discovered the hanging object he would open the cell door to examine 1t, and that it was the prisoners in- tention to strike the jailor a death blow with the iron pipe which he had mysteriously come into possession of and then liberate himself. The officer was too cautious for him, however, and the plan failed to work.

Meeting of National Educational As sOciatl0n Attracting the Atten- tiOn of Thousands of
 Teachers.

It is expected that fully 100 teachers of Alabama will attend the annual meeting of the National Educational Association July 6 and July in Asbury Park, N. J.
 Superintendent Isaac w Hill. of the State Educational Department said yes terday that more interest was mani fested this year than ever before by Alabama teachers in the meeting of the National Association and from letters he had received he believed that teach CTS of this State would make splendid showing at the Asbury Park meeting.
 A number of the teachers will join Superintendent Hill and his party in Montgomery and travel with him to Savannah, Ga, from which point the teachers of Alabama, Florida and Georgia are to sail for the East on June 29th Special provision has been made by the steamship companies for transporting the teachers from the three States. Five steamers will be as- sembled at Savannah for the several hundred teachers and they will sail as a fleet.
 Exceptionally low rates have been made" said Mir. Hill, "and am hope ful that every teacher in Alabama who can possibly get away from his duties will avail himself of the trip. There never was a time when more interest was centered in education at the South and these thousands of teachers from all over the country. who will assemble at Asbury Park. will get their i'm pression of education in Alabama from the interest we show In the meeting oi the National Association"
 pr. J. W. Abercrombie. president oi the State University at Tuscaloosa, pr c. c. Thach, President of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn and Dr. F. Nj Peterson. President of the Girls Industrial School, at Montevallo will be in the party which goes from Alabama.
