ESCAPED BY A QUICK CHANGE.
Convict Used Inspectors Uniform to-
Fool Owner and Guards.

Vienna, Jan. 12.-While carrying bread
from the bakery of the chief city prison
to a wagon in the yard. Anton Polzer. a
convict, eleverly escaped under the eyes
Of the inspector of the prison. The in
spector had temporarily placed a dress
uniform and hat in the bakery, prepara-
tory TO attending festive gathering. and
PolzeT. seizing the opportunity of a brief
interval alone, effected a quick change
from his convict's dress into the inspec-
tors clothes.
With the hat well pulled over his eyes
he then walked out. and. passing the in
spectGr and the guard at the gate. whose

Business Conditions sun Bad.

The contrary side or sLS financial bal
ance is, however. just now the fact THAI
while the financial situation proper IS
greatly improved and is continually inn
proving, general business over the coun-
try is depressed and shows at the moment
no very visible signs of betterment
Ground for encouragement is certainly
that there have been no such large uer-
camille failures and business troubles in
the first days of the new year, or at least
not TO the extent that were anticipated
last December. and the strongest ground
for hope regarding the immediate future
OF business in the country seems to be
that the perpendicular falling off in bust
ness that has occurred in so many lines
is of such an abrupt and striking char
acter as to suggest that 1t may be short
lived.

Between 40 and 9 o'clock Sunday

severe electrical storm, accompanied
by a perfect deluge of rain. The
flashes of lightning and con-
tinuous roll of thunder continued for
more than an hour, during which time
about two inches of rain fell. But
little wind accompanied the storm, so
that the damage to the rice crop was
less than it otherwise would have
been.
