er0us.
New York, Feb. 5.-Fresh growth OF
confidence in the price of secureties
and the prosperous outlook for bus
lift of prices and expansion of activity
in the stock market last week. Two
incidents OF the week had a dominant
effect in shaping speculative senti-
ment. fhe statement of programme
OF Improvement of the Union Pacific
and the supplementary announcement
of Chairman Gary OF the Cnited States
Steel corporation with the quarterly
statement Of earnings.
Sense of Security.
The decision of the Union Pacific
management to proceed with the
double tracking OF the system by the
expenditure of s75,000.0 900 extending
over the next five years swept into the
background most OF the misgi rings
over railroad conditions which still
remained. This programme and the
expression of confidence by the chair
man of the Union Pacific board pro-
claimed a sense OF security for the
future which is not impaired by the
still undecided question of railroad
rate increases. the antitrust cases be-
fore the supreme court and the suit
for dissolution of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific systems. APP
proach of the time for decision OF
these questions threatened to bring
them into force as repressive influenc
es on financial progress. The Union
Pacific announcement proved time
ly factor, whether designedly or not,
in countcractrg this influence.
Ready Absorption.
Restored confidence on the part of
the railroad managements may be
traced to the ready absorption of new
capital issues. Issues of new securities
in January were 1925 900 900 in the
New York money market new high

The prevailing sentiment of special

PRISONERS ESCAPE
Several Announcements for Office
 Are Made in Pike County

Troy, December 30.-(Special )1Three negro prisoners escaped last night from the city prison of Troy and fourth was about to gain his freedom when he was arrested by policeman Kelley. The names of those who escaped are Will Jef- ferson, Jim Copeland and Albert War ren. The city prison was unusually full of prisoners, as many had been arrested during the Christmas season and were placed in the city prison as the only place available, the new county jail not yet being complete. Will Jefferson, the negro who picked the locks, was recap made his escape once before. He is SUD- posed to be a shrewd negro, and an artist at picking locks. This was the way he gained his freedom and let his fellow prisoners out with him. One of them was trailed seven miles, at which distance the dogs lost the trail and no trace of him could be found.
 Candidates are entering the race for nomination to the various county of fees. Charles c. King has announced his candidacy for the office of tax col lector of Pike county, while J. Aubrey Curtis has announced his intention to run for the office of county superintendent of education. Many others are thinking of running for the various offices, but have not made public their intentions to do so yet.
 Dr. c. A. Rush has recently come to Troy to take the pastorate of the Metho- dist church of this place. He WAS suo- ceeded by Dr. H. M Holt, who served this church admirably for three years. and was sent from here to Pensacola. The members of the Methodist church were very sorry that pr. Holt had to leave them and go to another field of labor. During his pastorate here he did more for the church than any man they have had in recent years. pr. Rush, the new pastor, is a preacher of first rank and will doubtless please the church as well as his successor.

CONVICT ATTACKS BOSS
Cuts Ramsey's Throat But Wound
 Will Not Prove Fatal

Girard, December 30.-(Special) )-Late yesterday evening Lewis Rabbit, a. white convict on the Russell county roads, assaulted his boss, a man named Ramsey, cutting his throat with a pocket knife. It appears that Ramsey has q rule for bidding letter writing without permission. and this Babbitt would not conform to. so the manager went to whip him for dis obedience and the cutting was the result. Rabbit was immediately placed in a cell. The matter occurred near the coun- ty jail at Scale. 1t is not thought that Ramsey is fatally injured.
 Charlie Taley, the Columbus, Ga, negro who was shot by the Girard officers on Christmas Day, died at an early hour this morning. No one planes the of ficers, and 1t is thought nothing more will come of the case.
