Varnado Escapes From Amite
Jail.

Amite City. La, June TO-
Archie Varnado. q young white
man, made his escape from the
parish prison here at an early
hour this morning, making the
sixth successful Jail delivery
from the parish bastile since its
erection about four years ago.
The escape of Varnado came
on the eve of Sheriff Saals with.
drawal from the sheritf's Office to
make way for Sheriff Ballard.
who will qualify and take charge
Of the Office to-day.
Varnado was recently convict
ed in the district court here on q
charge Of shooting with intent to
kill.
Varnado first sawed the HINGES
of the door to his cell, which is
one Of the largest cells in the
parish prison, by means of a
hacksaw, and after be had gained
access to the corridors of the
Jail he lowered himself from q
second.story window to the
ground by means of several
blankets tied together to make q
rope. The officers believe that
the saw was passed up to Var
nado last night between II andl12
o'clock.
The present condition Of the
Jail makes it almost impossible |
to keep prisoners in the building. !

Work On New Trolley
 Line Being Hurried
BRIDGEPORT 6 DANBURY co. MUST HAVE PERCENTAGE OF DEG OR FORFEIT ITS CHARTER.

Residents of Long. Hill and of North Main street in this city are 5ubilant because they believe that this city and Long Hill center will be connected by a trolley line soon after December 1. 1912. They base their hopes upon the operations now be- ing carried on between this city and Long Hill by the Bridgeport & Dan- bury Railroad company But they have nothing definite from an official source to give support to their jubi- lancy- On the other hand the resi- dents along Main street look wise and say, They are not putting in wires and laying tracks for their health. Of course they will run cars.''
 They will tell you that the Bridge port 6 Danbury Company is going to make an arrangement with the Con necticut Co. whereby the latter com pany will furnish the power to oper- ate the line from Long Hill to Bridge port pending the completion of con struction of the rest of the line from Long Hill to Danbury and the con struction of a power house for itself.
 Several flat cars of crushed stone arrived this morning over the lines of the Connecticut Company from Mt. Carmel for the new comnenu The stone was delivered at the North Main street line of the Connecticut Co. to the other company.
 The renewed activities upon the line of the Bridgeport 6 Danbury railroad commenced last Monday when a large gang of men commenced to pIow d big trench through the center of the fine nacadam highway that the city and State recently spent several thou sands of dollars to build. Tracks had been previously laid from Long Hill and the idgeport-Trunabun line, and the rails laid this week connect the ling from the end of the old com pany's line to the Trumbuu line in Bridgeport.
 Some wiseacres said at once that the company did not mean that cars were going to be run, but that the new company had to do a certain per centage of it's construction work be fore December 1, 1912. in order to retain it's charter But when line men cornmerced to put in the over head wires along the line the good folks took courage and had hopes that there had been an agreement made between the two companies
 None of the local officials of the Connecticut Company claim to know anything about the doings above the terminal of their lines in North Main street.
 A number of North Main street residents said this morning that they felt reasonably sure that they would

CHINESE ARE NOW DEMANDING
 WAR ON RUSSIA
ABSOLuTEEYPURE

Pekin. Nov 16-Presfdent Yuan shi Kai was de1uged with teIegrams from prominent Chinese. today. demanding war on Russia in defense of outer Mon golia.
 Against acceptance of the reported offer from the French and Japanese ministers to mediate there was a uni versal outcry. To France there was not so much objection but tl1e idea of Japan, which has long been be- Heved in agreement with Russia, to divide part of Ghi between. them as 1nediators, was fe0Msidered ridiculous
 Unless Yuan bows to popular clar11or it was felt that hisaspeedyA overthrow may be expected. It was rumored that several general were planning to lead their commands against the Rus sians in Mongolia without awaiting the presidents order or consent
 Foreigners swho saw the Chine troops in action during the revolution said they believed the Orientals might prove a surprise to the Russians in the event of a clash which was beginning to be regarded, today. as seriously threat tening.
