JAILOR OYERP0WFRED
PRISONERS ESCAPE
Four negro Prisoners make
Getaway Yesterday
"UNCLE JACK" GLENN
GIVES STIFF FIGHT

In Broad Daylight Four Negroes Over
power JailOr Glenn and Make Get
away from County Jail. One Cap
turcd Last Night and Others Being
Trailed.
Shortly after five o'clock yesterday
afternoon the peace officers and volun-
teer assistants were thrown into the
throes of man hunt following the es-
cape Of four negro prisoners from the
county Jail, after the prisoners had
attacked and overpowered the doughty
Irish jailor Uncle Jack" Glenn. The
Jail delivery, happening in broad day
light while many people were yet on
the streets, attracted great deal of
attention and some excitement With
in few minutes after they had made
their getaway the prisoners were be
Ing followed by Deputy Sheriff Colum-
bus Owings and posse Of volunteer
citizens. The negroes got good start,
however, and up until nine o'clock last
night only one Of them had been cap
tured. Blood hounds from the county
gang were brought in just about that
time and chase bgean. The ring
leader in the Jail delivery, George
Watts, charged with the murder Of his
wife, was thought to be surrounded in
the woods bordering on Little River
and 1t Is thought that he will be cap
tured.
Mr.. Glenn, though painfully injured
about the head and arms, was cheer
full and bright as usual last night and
was able to give an account of tho af-
fair. Yesterday, said Mr.. Glenn, Tim
othy Bccks, who was to have been re-
leased on bond today, had boon charg-
cd with carrying coal and other things
to the jail. In the afternoon Mr.
Glenn was putting him In the cage.
Just as he opened the Jail door to let
tic prisoner in, three other prisoners
on the inside, Watts, Woody and Cole
man, made q dash through the open
ing. While Woody and Coleman held
the jailor, Watts attacked him with
heavy stick Of wood or heavy piece of
iron. Tho negro struck him half a
dozen or more blows and stunned him
SO that he was not able to handle his
pistol, though he was able TO get 1t
out OF his pocket The negroes made
for the door, dragging Mr.. Glcnn
along. They got out OF his grasp
however, and dashed down tho steps
Mr.. Glenn followed behind in q dazcd
condition and was able to give the
alarm, but the three negroes followed
by Timothy Becks, succeeded in get
ting away. Ono other negro, Ben
Hamilton, did not take advantage OF
the opportunity to escape
Mr.. Glenn Is painfully but not scri-
ously injured.
In this connection, it Is interesting
to note that a bill was introduced in
the lower house Of the legislature last
night by one or the County's rcprescn-
ta'ivc$ providing for the appointment
OF q commission to erect new Jail.

Columbia, January 15.--There is not
a great deal for the General Assembly
to do at this session. The disposition
appears to be not to undertake any
radical legislation, and the likelihood
is that nothing Of supreme Importance
will find It's way on the statute books
In one Of the plays that is now on
in New York, Common Clay, 1t is
stated that there are only two real
problems in life. One is sex and the
other money. The second Of these
will make the overshadowing question
Of the present session. The wheel Of
legislation will revolvc around the tax
commission, the appropriations, the
creation of new and perhaps neccs
sary positions, the disposition of the
liquor on hand in the former dispcn-
sary counties, which mean money; the
fixing Of the lGvies and the like. There
is a general desire to get the appro-
priation bill in hand at the earliest
possible moment, and when that i'm
portant legislation Is disposed Of there
some of the leaders suggest that about
the best thing Is have frequent re-
cesses. let things settle, pass the APP
propriation and supply bills and say
goodbye to Columbia; this on the
theory that the least said or written
on the statute books he soonest mcnd-
ed.
AS has been said before, there Is
going to be nothing too orthodox in
the way Of prohibition legislation. If
anyone has an idea that he or she
thinks will make things tighter just
let him or her send it along and 1t will
be offered and probably be enacted.
Yesterday the Senate passed bill
prohibiting tho newspapers Of the
State from advertising liquors. 1t Is
understood that the various counties
that are Interested in the disposition
of the remnants OF dispcnSary stock
will meet to consider the best thing to
do with the leftover goods. 1f tho
counties interested will get together
thcrc is chance Of something being
done towards realizing on the goods,
otherwise it will be q matter OF stor-
age for year or two. 1t Is suggest
ed that the Charleston delegation has
been asked to introduce high license
bill. It will be an utter waste OF time
and effort. The General Assembly
speaking for the pcopc-is going to
mako try-out Of prohibitions; the
simon-purc type If there be such
thing.
1t is to be remembered in this con-
ncction that while prohibition Is with
some folks moral question, with the
vast majority Of the people In this
state, and those responsible for pro-
hibition, it IS an economic issue. The
handling Of labor being the basis of
consideration.
Whcthcr there IS going to be any
disposition to allow light wines and
beers to be consumed Is doubtful. pr.
Lynch has q measure looking towards
the use of light vines and bncr, and

Long-Ago Romance.

| The cabled announcement from Ion-
tdon OF the engagement of Mrs. Joseph
Chamberlain to the Rt Rev. WilIfa m
Hartley Carnegie, canon of westmin-
ster and rector of st. Margaret's. is nj
special interest to the older society OF
Washington, more so, perhaps, than
even that of Salem, Mass, where the
bride-elect was born and lived all nj
her girlhood.
When In the first Cleveland admins
tration the late Secretary and Mrs En-.
dicott came to make their home on
10Th street and Scott circle, their
daughter. Miss Mary Endicott. had Ing
made her formal debut
Ihe romance of her courtship and
marriage TO the late eminent English
statesman. the Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain, was essentially a Washington ~
fair. g.
Mr.. Chamberlain, then in this country
on diplomatic matter, met the daugh-
| ter of Secretary Endicott at a ball Civ
en- in his honor by the late Lord
pauncefote at the British embassy. All
society noted that from the moment of
the introduction to the end of the ba II
Mr.. Chamberlain and the Charming
young blond beauty sat together be-
meath the palm grouping at the far end
of the main hallway
An unmistakable case of love at hrst
sight. Mr.. Chamberlain lost no time In
proposing to the Secretary's daughter
but to the chagrin of both the princi
pals the young lady's parents gave a
decided refusal to contemplate the mar
riage of their young daughter to a man
however distinguished, whose own son
was her senior. From this stand they
would not move. Therefore, as the time
for his departure to England had ar
rived, there was nothing for it but a
parting with vows of eternal constancy
| on both sides.
From that moment the Secretary
| did her physicians regard any hope OF
recovery under the circumstances that
| the joyful news was flashed across the
ocean that the marriage would be per-
mitted. Almost the next steamer
| counted Mr.. Chamberlain among its
passengers, and once back in Wash
| ington Miss Endicott's health was com
pletely restored and society looked on
with its friendliest smiles at sikht of
the engaged couple starting out each
morning for several miles walk out
| 18th street past Boundary Castle to
| what is now Rock Creek Park and the
| tren embryonic Boo.
The wedding at st. Johns Church fol-
could be gotten together, the bride pre-
| ferring in place of the usual splendor
of bridal attire to be married In pale
gray, gown and bonnet patterned after
the pictures of Priscilla, the Puritan
maid.

Mrs. Cleveland, who attended the
wedding with the President, was far
more gorgeous than the bride, wear
ing green gray velvet trimmed with
plaitings of white satin. white plush
bonnet and corsage bouquet of red
chrysanthemums. Mrs. Endicott wore
steel gray silk piped with purple and
bonnet of pansy color.
With the President and diplomatic
corps, the army and navy in attendance
there followed breakfast at the 18th
street residence of Secretary and Mrs.
Endicott. Then Mr.. and Mrs. Chamber
lain sailed away to their home in Eng
land, their romance followed the
happy old lines They lived in peace
and happiness forever after"
Probably no American woman has
ever had such royal favor as from the
start marked Mrs. Chamberlain's mar
ried life. 1t was on her account that
the late Queen Victoria issued her
famous exception to the hitherto in
violate rule of not permitting any wom-
an. English or foreign born, to appear
at a court function in a high-necked
gown.
Twice Mr.. Chamberlain was urged by
royalty to accept title. And twice he
declined. Both Queen Victoria and
Queen Alexandra personally urged
upon Mrs. Chamberlain that she would
accept a title. And twice this American
woman, preferring to abide by her
husbands decision in the matter,
courteously declined the honor.
