VIII Minton. coIored. made
his escape from the county jail
Saturday night, via the chimney
to the roof and then, by des-
perate fifty-foot-leap to the
ground and to freedom,
The escape is thought to have
been accomplished while the
warden and family were at sup
per, The first thing which
brought any suspicion about the
jail was the sight Of some
clothes left in the yard near the
building and when Investigated
they proved to be a portion of
those worn by VIII Minton.
Deputy Sheriff Cornor mined
lately made an inspection of the
cells and reaching the one
which was occupied by Minton
he noticed a hole in the wal
just large enough for a mans
body to pass through. Looking
through this hole it was found
to connect with a large smoke
flue which was constructed
through the middle Of the Jail.
Minton had crawled up the CHM
ney about fifteen feet from the
ground, and but for the soft
grassy lawn the prisoner might
have had trouble going fnrther.
Indications show that he was
desperate ins his well planned
escape and he had probably
gotten good Roadway when the
escape was discovered.
Luckily none of the other pris-
oners undertook the risk which
Minton made, although several
Of them had rather smutty''
faces when seen by the officers.
The last person to see Minton
was the servant who carried
him his supper about five o'clock
Saturday afternoon. Nothing
seemed to appear suspicious then
The hole left in the wall re-
presented tedious work of sever
al days. The plaster and bricks
were removed with a rusty nail
it is thought and was carefully
concealed when visitors were
expected.
Few people knew of the jail
breaking Saturday night. After
a short inspection of the build
ing, which by the way is con-
sidered one of the strongest
jails in the state, the officers,
headed by Sheriff Blackwell
started off on a search with
well trained blood hounds on
the trial of the prisoner.
Minton, the get away, is a
young negro about % years old
He is a we'll known character in
the county and was placed in
jail some few months. ago upon
the charge of non support of his
young wife. Description cf the
man will be sent over the coun-
try if the officers fail in gaining
some clue in their search, which
has lasted through Sunday and
today.

For more than a month past

is not generally known that the
main part of this imposing edi-
fee is composed of saund stone
and it is necessary every two or
three years to paint it to pre-
serve and keep it from crumb-
ling. The wings of the building
are Of white marble, but this ma
teriaf could not be had when the
main portion upon which the
dome rests was built. The dome
itself being of iron and steel is
painted at the same time as the

REPUBLICANS ON DEFEN.
SIVE.
The worst Plight They Have
Been In For Twenty Years.
Nav York Sim

DSGu Ill 3O4 4WC4Iy 4C04Sa
New York Sun.
Washington, Sept. 8.-Practi-
eally every Congressman who
drops in at Democratic headquar-
tiers here, as well as those who
are in correspondence with Chair
man Lloyd and his assistants, say
Republicans are decidedly on the
defensive.
From the accounts being re-
ceived this state of affairs seems
to be general throughout the Unit
ed States. There has been moth
ing exactly like it since the mem
orable contest 20 years ago, when
the Republicans lost control of the
House of Representatives and
suffered one of the most crushing
defeats in the history of their
party.
Tariff 20 Blame.
It was the tariff In 1890 which
caused the landslide and resulted
lin the election of a Democratic
House. The prevailing belief
now is that it will be the tariff
this year that will once more bring
about the defeat of the Republi-
cans.
The Mckinley Tariff bill was
passed in 1890. Congress that
year did not adjourn until Octo-
Der /. 1t was the second longest
session that has ever been held
since the establishment of the
Government. The record session
was in 1888, or the year In which
the Mills Tariff bill was passed by
the House and held up by the Re-
publican majority In the Senate.
That year congress did not adj
journ until October 20.
Hoping Time Will Aid.
The Republican managers are
trying evidently to console them
selves with the thought that the
Payne-Aldrich bill, having been
passed and signed on August 5 of
last year, the people have had
time enough to test its merits, and
they are attempting to show that
the new law isn't near so bad as
the Democrats and insurgent Re
publicans insist it is.
The Republicans also, in looking
back over past events, assert that
the election of 1890 occurred so
soon after the enactment of the
tariff law that the people did not.
have time enough to inquire into
its operations and that if they had
not been compelled TO vote at
such an early date there might
have been a different result.
Let Out Fatal Truth.
In the campaign of 1890 one of
the hardest blows at the McKin-
ley tariff came straight from a
member of the Cabinet of the late
President Benjamin Harrison.
This adviser of the head of the ma
ton, of course, did not go out on
the stump and make Speeches a.
| gainst the law that was approved
by the President and which Re
publicans almost to a man declar-
ed was a fair and just measure
calculated to bring untold bless
ings upon the people of the coun-
try. Unwittingfy he did worse,
SO far as the effect was concerned.
The cabinet officer was, and is still
carrying on one Of the most gigna-
tic department stores in the world
and he commenced to advertise in
the newspapers that his concern
had the foresight to buy goods
heavily before the Mckinley law
was passed and could therefore
sell away under the high prices
brought about by the increased
tariff duties.

Governor Hughes has rented a
residence and will remove to
this city to be present at the
opening of the Supreme Court
in October. It is not thought
likely that he will be elevated to
the Chief Justiceship, though
the President has great regard
for his ability. The fortunate
man for this excellent position
has not yet been chosen, but it is
understood that this is one of the
questions,to come before the cab
