by these same twenty men, and
the large tabacco warehouse of
Thomas Daugherty was also
burned. This barn contained
about three hundred thousands
pounds OF tobacco in the bulk
and ten priced hogsheads of to-
.bacco. Each of these dealers
had been given warning not to
buy any more tobacco, and it is
said they agreed to do SO, but
had not kept their promise, and
the above is the result. All tele-
phone wires in that section were
cut. Peters Bros, loss over in

loss on his barn is only $500,
his tobacco being fully covered

TELEPHONE PROGRESSIvENESS

Washington, d. c., Jan. r.
(SpeciaD That South Africa is
already something of a rival to
America in progressiveness is
proved by the telephone expans-
ion of that British colony. A re-
cent report received in this city
states that there was opened at
Johannesburg on Oct. 26 last a
new common battery exchange
having present equipment of
6, 246 lines The cut-over from
the magnetic system was made
the occasion for a complete re-
vision Of the system of rates, so
that henceforth these will cor
respond ito r. methods of the
message ratf ystem as practised
in most of the larger American
cities. Instead of a fiat rate
charge of approximately 800 "a
year, which has heretofore pre-
vailed in Johannesburg, subscrlb-
ers to residence service now pay
about $35 a year for a minimum
of 900 calls; over that a charge
of four cents for each cali up to
800, two cents up to 2400 and
one cent beyond. These prices
for limited service are easily seen
to be rather high, considering
the size of the South African
capital. The message rate plan
which has been adopted in Jo-
hasnnesberg is said to be gaining
in favor all over the world.

ESCAPE OF

their escape from the penitenti-

Albert Wing, of Louisvills,

aud John CLARK, of Shelbyville,
are the men. The former had
been an intimate for fifteen
years, aud the latter for seven.
Wing murdered his wife, the
killing being of a most sensation.
al and brutal character ever
known in Louisville. He would
have been hung but for the fact
that the murdered woman's faith.
er appeared in the court room,
broken with sorrow aud asked,
that no more blood be shed, re-
questing that Wing be given a
life sentence.
Both were TRUSTEES, Wing be-
ing an orderly in the Warden's
office, and Clark serving as one
of the assistant guards. In these
capacities they had wide liberty
within the confines of the build
Ing aud grounds.
The men were missed at 5
O'Clock when the rest of the pris
oners were being returned to
the cells. Immediate search was
made but without avail. Other
prisoners said that they had seen
the two drinking whiskey during
the afternoon, and it is supposed
that the source from which they
received the wet goods may have
Supplied them with change of
garments, allowing them to pass
unnoticed in the great throng
that Ais the city.
All over the state wires were
kept hot, and every train that
will pull into the various cities
bordering on Frankfort or Its
railroads will be watched and |
searched. The escape created a
sensation, and the warden be-
lleves it to have been the result
