ONE Of THE JAIL
BREAKERS
CAUGHT
Negro Who Escaped from Vernon
Jail Captured Near ChipIey.
Delivery Planned Two
Years Ago.
Special TO The Journal.

Chipley, Mar. 17.-One Of the negro
prisoners who made his escape from
the Vernon Jail early Wednesday
morning, was captured about three
miles north of Chipley He made his
trail an easy one to follow by again
taking up his roguery and thieving be-
fore he was on hour out of the Jail.
He plundered Tax Assessor VIM.
Bowen's house, six mile miles north
of Vernon; from DR.. Wilson in Chip
ley he stole buggy robe, and from
a home Just over in Jackson county
he supplied himself with hat, pair
of shoes, a pair of trousers, a coat
and other articles of clothing, and
some bedding. He was sent back to
the county prison Friday.
Sheriff Allen is still working for a
clue to Bias Wilson's whereabouts,
and it is hoped here that Wilson will
soon be recaptured Wilson is the
negro who is charged with being an
accessory before the fact, to the muir
der Of Marshal A. M. Watson, who was
shot by a prisoner held in the city
jail here last fall.
The scheme to break Jail and its
execution, was one Of the most sue
eessfuI in the history of the county,
and was planned by trdsty prisoner
nearly two years ago, when he was
the only inmate of the jail. Every
day he was allowed to come out Of
the cell and walk about in the open
space around it. He drew a profile of
the key to the cell, and secured an
iron lever used in closing the doors.
This lever he placed inside the cells,
over an iron fiange-plate into which
it fitted so closely as TO be mistaken
for a part of the cell itself. 1t was
this implement that the two white and
five negro prisoners used as a lever
in opening the cell door Wednesday
morning. after which they dug a hole
through the brick wall and were max
ing their escape when the jailer ap-
peared with his gun.
E. J. Stokes has bought the J. A.
Mccormick place at Piney Grove. The
conveyance carries the tuIpentine still
and eight hundred acres of timbered
land. The consideration was $4,000.
The L. & n. R. r. Co. ran three
trains for the benefit of the excur-
sionist who went to DeFuniak TO hear
the governor speak. On account of
the scarcity of wood the three trains
were coaled from a freight train on
the side track here.
Material is being placed on the
ground for the erection of the three
story building to be occupied by the
First National Bank, and work will be-
gin in few days.

SUNDAY BASE BALL
HURTS THE SALOON

Rev. w. L. Riley, of this city. state
superintendent Of the Pennsylvania
Anti-Saloon league, has discovered
Sunday base ball is q great aid to
the league in suppressing Illegal sell

he finds that so many people are at
tending the games that saloonkeep-
ers who formerly did thriving busl'
ness on Sundays are now idle behind
their bars.
For that reason he says Sunday
base ball is valuable factor In aid
ing the suppression of Sunday selling
He fears, however, Sunday base bal
playing will lead to other Sunday
pastimes, which will divert the minj
OF the American people from prop
er observance of the day.

amount of unbelievable letters and

the division of dead letters is a mat
ter which Assistant Postmaster Gene
raj Degraw has been giving much at
tention since the dead letter division
was placed within his Jurisdiction.
Over eleven million pieces of unde-
livered mail were handled by the d.
vision last year, and the average
number received each day is now be-
tween 10000 and $4,000. Degrew Be
lieves this number is excessive and
could be greatly reduced by the use
of ordinary care by patrons of the
postal service. Not only are the
writers and addresses put to great
inconvenience and trouble by the
non-delivery of their mail, but the
pecuniary loss is considerable as
during the present month alone over
two thousand dollars, for which no
owners could be found. were turned

nately the greater part of the none

said to have been given to District
Attorney Jerome by young woman
who came to his Office voluntarily.
Whites conduct on the dey of the

Thaw was justified in the shooting.

$4,000 FIRE

Louisville, o., August AT 1890
o'clock this morning fire was discov-
cred in the immense Louisville ele-
vator, owned by oliver Brumbaugh
and Levi Lotzenhouser. The building,
together with 1000 bushels of wheat.
is totally destroyed at this hour-2
q. m. For time the Kline warehouse
and the plant of the Bonnot Maniac
turing Co. was threatened, and al
though the warehouse was on fire. he
roic efforts on the part of the local
volunteer fire company saved them
from destruction. The immense ele-
vator had capacity of 1900 bushels
of wheat .and the loss which is CEN
servatively estimated at $4,000 is al
most total one. There was small
amount Of insurance on the building
and contents, which was taken out by
the owners of the property two weeks
ago.
When the fire was raging the fiercest
word was sent to the Canton fire de-
partment for assistance, but later the
request was withdrawn, as 1t was seen
that the local company would be able
to confine the conflagration to the ele-
vator building.
The origin of the fire is not known.
While assisting in fighting the fire,
James Nochols, owner of a cooper
