NEGRO CONVICT
MAKES HIS
ESCAPE
Will Jones Sent to Convict Camps
for Burglary, is Now at
Large.

Will Jones, a negro convict, and
known as one of the boldest as well
as most shrewd burglars ever to
operate in Pensacola, has made his
escape from the convict camps of
Warn Bros. & Co., and is now at large
Jones is the negro who robbed the
home of Alex. Zelus last year, and in
this he was detected and sufficient
evidence gathered by the officers to
secure his conviction. He was SEN
fenced to a term of six years in the
convict camp, and had not served one
year when he made his escape. 1t IS
believed that he was also mixed up in
a number Of other rObberies, but evil
dence could not be secured sufficient
TO warrant his arrest upon the charge
The negro made his escape yestar-
day morning shortly after the men had
been placed at work in the swamp.
He saw a good opportunity when the
guards attention was diverted and
made run for it, plungin'g into the
thick swamp, which prevented the
guard from firing upon him. The
course taken by the negro was through
water and mud, which evidently
caused him to sink above his knees
with each step. The blood hounds
followed the trail for about four miles,
when a drove of wild hogs began chas-
ing them, causing them to loose the
trail.

Vitality Of a Frogs Heart.

There is no living creature, according
TO a Philadelphia surgeon, that has a
heart with so much vitality as a frog,
especially the species commonly known
as the water frog. 1t is generally
known that the aquatic frog will sur
vive for months after the hind legs
have been removed. OF course he can
not hop about as he could before losing
his principal means Of transit, but his
fore legs help him TO crawl wherever
he desires to go. When began to learn
surgery 1 made a special dissection Of
a frog one day. I laid the various parts
Of the body on a table and discovered
that life was extinct within a few
hours in every organ except the heart.
The heart showed valvular motion for
a day after it had been severed entirely
from the body. am not aware that
any other creatures heart is possessed
of such vitality. - Philadelphia Tele-

Legend Of sambur Lake.

One Of the features Of Jeypore, in In
dia, is the wonderful Sambur salt lake,
concerning which there is a curious
legend. The story runs that an old
fakir long ago told one Of the rajahs
that If he wanted to be rich he should
ride a horse as far as he could go with
out once looking back, and the land as
far as he could travel would become
field of silver, always provided he did
not turn. He rode for thirty miles,
and then, curiosity overcoming him, be
looked back, with the result that in
stead of the promised field Of silver he
found a lake cfsalt.

HRunmeEn-

Hammers are represented on the
monuments Of Egypt twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly resem-
bled the hammers now In use, save that
there were no claws on the back for
the extraction Of nails. The first ham,
mer was undoubtedly q stone held in
the hand. Claw hammers were invent
ed some time during the middle ages.
Illuminated manuscripts Of the elev-
enth century represent carpenters with
claw hammers. Hammers are Of all
sizes, from the dainty instruments
used by the jeweler, which weigh less
than half an ounce, to the gigantic
hammer Of shipbuildlng establishments,
some Of which weigh as much as fifty
tons and have a falling force Of from
90 TO 100. Every trade has its own
hammer and its own way Of using IL.

CITY EMPLOYS
ENGINEER
HATTON
Council Met and Gave Bond TruS.
tees Power to Close Contract
With Him.

T Chalkley Hatton, Of Wilmington,
Del, has been selected by the city as
engineer-in-chief of all improvement
work which is to be done in Pensa-
cola, for which purpose the issue
of 100000 in bonds was made.
The council came to this decision
yesterday at noon, when an adjourn
ed meeting was held. Mayor Bliss
presided and Aldermen Baars, Hays,
Maura, Muldon, Reilly Watson,
Wright and YOnge were present.
The first matter to receive consid-
Grafton was a report from the finance
committee to the effect that a CON-
munication had been received from
BlOunt & BlOunt stating that one of
their clients held two bonds of $500
each Of the issue Of 1S59-1S6O, and
asked that a settlement be made. The
matter was referred back TO the
finance committee, to consult with the
city attorney and arrange for a set
Element
Employed Engineer.
The matter Of employing an engi-
neer to conduct the work incident TO
the improvements to be made, was
then brought up, and discussed at
length. The proposition of T. Chalk
ley HaJtOn 10 do all engineering work,
draw all plans, furnish superinten-
dents, engineers, ETC., for per cent.
Of the total amount expended was the
only one before the council The
Board Of Bond trustees, who were
present, recommended that this prop.
OsitiOn be accepted, as Mr.. Hatton
was not only an experienced engineer.
but one who had a reputation al stake
and could be depended upon to see
that the city secured full value for its
money.
Alderman Yonge moved that the
recommendation Of the trustees be
adopted. There was more talk, and
several objections were made. These
were overcome, however, and the mo-
ton was carried unanimously.
Alderman Maura moved TO recon.
slider the resolution passed at the last
meeting relative to the city deposit
tory for the bond money. AS il now
stands none but a national bank can
secure the deposits. and the aldermen
desired to have this changed and the
bond money pro rated according to
the capital stock of the banks. The
motion was lost.
Alderman MuldOn moved that the
city attorney furnish the franchise
committee with a copy Of the charter
under which the Escambia Electric
Light Co. is operating and also their
schedule Of rates. The motion pre-
vailed.
After some routine business the
council adjourned.
