Found Five Saws In Bed In Jail.

Henry Green, colored, confined in the
Oconee Jail, has been making discoveries
during his spare time, of which he has
twenty-four hours seven days OF each
week. Last Saturday he handed to
Sheriff Kay hack saw, which he said
he found concealed in the mattress of his
Jail bunk. Sunday morning he produced
saw number two and turned it over to
Sheriff Kay. On Monday morning, how
ever, he beat the record, showing that
he had not been idle during Sunday
night, and exhibited collection of
1iiiet, saws, which he obtained from the
same source. All five were handed over
to Sheriff Kay, who now has them in his
possession. He says they are ''hum-
mers," too, for they go through steel like
an ordinary " through ,od. The
question now a. .ses, where d.L the saws
come fromp 1t is more than likely, how
ever, that they got into the Jail during
the imprisonment of Robt. M. Dicker-
SOD, alias Dawson, of Indiana, the forger
and general crook who was caught at
Seneca, and suspected of being con-
nected with the Newry store robbery
He was said to be about the smoo thest
article that has ever graced cell III Che
Oconee Jail. 1t is relief to Sheriff Kay
to know that he and not one of his
pris Oners, is tho keeper of these handy
little tools. Careful search by Sheriff
Kay and Deputy Russell has failed to
reveal any other articles not considered
entirely proper for prisoners to have.

A Dastardly Attempt at Assassination.

Gainesville, Ga, February 3..-A das-
tardly attempt to assassinate Miss Elinor
Taylor, teacher at Brenau College, who
rooms at A. NJ. Evans's, just across the
street from the college. was made at an
early hour this morning. She was
awakened by some one tapping on her
window, and, getting out of bed, walked
across the room and raised the shade
slightly. A smouldering fire in the CRATE
cast low light across the room. AS the
curtain went up loud report was heard
and bullet crashed through the heavy
glass, shattering it. The bullet struck
Miss Taylor's neck. The force of the
ball was broken by the glass and the
bullet did not penetrate the skin. The
injury is therefore slight, though Miss
Taylor is suffering from severe nervous
shock. Officers were Immediately noti-
fed and bloodhounds put on tho trail,
but the would-be assassin made good his
escape. No clew has been obtained as
to the guilty person nor can any motive
be ascertained for his attempt.
