8 BIRDS IN FLIGHT;
AS YET NO CLUE.
rhe Sprinting of Jailbirds
Continues.
OFFER REWARD FOR FUclrlvEs
County and State ConVicts Who
Made Escape From Jail Friday
Night Still at Largs-SmsII Negro
Boy Probably Had Key.

The eight negro prisoners who cut
their way to liberty out of Sumter's
strong castle Friday night are still at
large and hot.footing it to other chimes,
in all probability, while the real man
ner of their escape appears to be as
much a mystery now, as at first.
The most plausible theory is that on e
of them secured a key to the cells,
Suspicion to this effect rests upon
Tom Glover, a thirteen year old negro
boy who, while a prisoner, did some
service about the corridors, and might
have secured a key to the cells.
The prisoners were in small cells,
opening into large cage,which is well
secured by a massive steel door. AS
all the prisoners came through this
door, afterwards closing and locking it
behind them, the key theory holds
strong.
Gaming the corridor, it was easy
work to cut three small bars protecting
one of the windows.
Through this the eight prisoners
crawled to coal shed at the east end
of the jail and jumped to the ground.
Three prisoners, George Burnett, Fate
Northen, the harness thief, and a white
tramp declined to go with the others
and remained IN their cells.
The names of the prisoners who thus
got away are as follows:
VIII Williams, four years, Albert
Williams one year, Tom Adams five
years, Bill Frazier twenty months, Jim
Baldwin one year, Tom Glover ten
months, George Harris one year, CIeye
Westbrooks ten months.
Bill Williams and Tom Adams were
state felony prisoners, while the six
others would have served on the coun-
ty gang, having been convicted dun ing
the past week. In addition to his term
of five years, Adams had 10 months
additional for gaming.
Sheriff Bell is making a thorough in
vestigation into the wholesale escape.
In the meantime a cash reward of S25
is offered for each of the escaping
prisoners.

Millions for Damages.

The various (street carr companies

. total of $2,09s, ,009.5O paid out in
damages. Two million dollars in a
single year! But this was not all, re-

The same companies reported for legal
expenses in connection with accidents
the further item Of $1,005, ,S92.S1. max
ing the total amount Of damages 3d.
103, ,902.40. This is equivalent to co.
900. 900 fares year! The total amount
paid out by all the tram companies of
the United Kingdom, including Great
Britain and Ireland, for the year 1903
1904, was only $591,000 Or, take it
by cities. The amount paid out by
the municipal system Of Liverpool for
1905 was $53,800. The amount paid
out by the Boston Elevated, operating
the surface systems of Boston, for
1906, was $603,576! The traffic Of the
chief Berlin company is greater by
half than that of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company. The amount paid
out in 1905 by this Berlin company
was $65, 500. The amount paid out by
the Brooklyn company in 1905 was

Do We Change Our Size?

We all have read such phrases as
"his form seemed to dilate," and "he
suddenly looked mean and shrunken." !"
Without doubt one can and one does,
under certain circumstances, as in Of
Tended dignity, extend the height, d.
late the chest, and SO become larger,
and fear may cause sort of collapse
that makes one appear quite shrunken.
These are real and commonplace
things. There is something else al
lied to the foregoing which is not
quite SO simple, says New York Week
1y. We associate grand things with
bigness, and mean things with small
ness. BY some curious trick Of our
nervous system We no sooner learn
that person has done noble deed
than his form looks noble, and II we
hear that the deed is mean his form
appears mean. II another Is proved
Intellectually excellent, we mark the
width Of his forehead. Should he sub.
sequently do anything disgraceful, we
think his forehead mean-looking. And,
indeed, we ourselves may feel broad
or mean in brow, but all these things
are mental illLsions.
