UNIQUE COUP IS PERPETRATED Sheriff and His Deputy Compelled to Promise Immunity In Order to Gain Their Own Liberty. A Topeka, Kans, special says: Sheriff Cook and deputy Sheriff Williams were captured by two convicts from the Fort Leavenworth military prison Sunday afternoon at Pauline, five miles south of Topeka and held prisoners on the farm of a man named Wooster for several hours. They finally escaped between a line of police sent from Topeka to reinforce the Sheriff and are now at large. Both were slightly wounded. Wooster was badly wounded by one of the convicts when he tried to fire on them. Mrs. Wooster and Sheriff Cook were held oefore the convicts as a shield by the prisoners in making their escape. At 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon some farmer boys near Pauline learned that the convicts were in the neighborhood. Hastily forming a posse, armed with target rifles, pistols and clubs, they gave chase. Neither of the convicts was armed, and they were unable to make a stand. Later Sheriff Cook and Deputy Williams arrived. Coming upon the convicts, both of the officers fired, wounding the men, but not disabling them. The convicts then fled through a small opening in the timber and ran into the house of Farmer Wooster. Sheriff Cook telephoned to Topeka for assistance and then took up the chase. Thinking the convicts had run around the house, Cook darte, through the open door, intending to surprise them at the rear door, but instead of this the convicts had gone into the house and the officer almost fell into their arms. Sheriff Cook was ordered to give up his gun, which he did. Deputy Williams by this time had reached the house and entered without knowing what had happened inside, and he, too, was made captive by the convicts. In the meantime Chief Stahi, of Topeka, with eight officers, were on their way. They arrived at the Wooster house about an hour after the officers had been imprisoned. Crier Stahi immediately began negotiations with the convicts to give up their prisoners and to surrender themselves, but the convicts only laughed. Farmer Wooster then managed to get a gun and was about to make an attack on the convicts, when one of them licked him low with a blow from the butt of a revolver taken from one of their captives. One of the conjects told Sheriff Cook that he would be killed if he made the slightest move looking toward their capture. In the meantime the police officers on the outside surrounded the building, but were afraid to make a move for fear that Cook and Williams would suffer. Mrs. Wooster had fainted during the excitement. She finally revived and at 7 o'clock the convicts placed the woman and Sheriff Cook in front of them as shields and maize for the door. Then, after an exacting promise from the sheriff that he would not permit any of the officers outside to fire on them, they started for the open. As they left the house, the frightened farmer's wife and submissive sheriff before them, the convicts passed between a cordon of police, who could easily have captured them, and started for the railroad track. The sheriff had in turn exacted a promise from the police that they would not molest the convicts, and they did not. After covering themselves a considerable distance down the track the convicts suddenly disappeared through a hedge fence bidding the officers a mocking farewell. The convicts had secured a good start before the officers had recovered from their surprise. Then some of the policemen wanted to pursue but Sheriff Cook would not permit it, as he had promised the convicts immunity from arrest. FORMER FOES FRATERNIZE. Officials of Rival Street Railways In Atlanta Dine Together. The magnates of Atlanta's erstwhile rival street railway companies met around the board Thursday night at an elegant dinner tendered them by President Ernest Woodruff, of the Atlanta Railway and Power Company. This is the first time these gentlemen have ever met at a social function, and the occasion was one of interesting significance, showing the friendly relation now existing between those who only a short while ago were the bitterest of financial foes. BECKHAM ROASTS DURBIN. Governor of Kentucky Indites a Hot Letter to Indiana Chief Executive. Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, has addressed to Governor Durbin; of Indiana, a letter replying to the criticism by that executive of the courts and officials of Kentucky in his recent letter refusing to honor the requisition for Taylor and Finley, wanted for alleged complicity in the assassination of Goebel. He severely arraigns Durbin for his refusal, charging that in doing so he violated his oath of office to support the constitution of the United States and that he becomes "a party after the fact to the most infamous crime in the history of this state, the cold-blooded and dastardly murder of an eminent and distinguished citizen of Kentucky." The Kentucky executive also charges that Governor Durbin's refusal was the result of a political bargain made before his election to office and characterizes his charges against the courts and officials of Kentucky as slanderous and inexcusable misrepresentations. He takes the stand that the governor of a state has no discretionary power, but only ministerial power in the honoring of legally drawn requisitions from other states, and this is taken here as indication that steps will shortly be taken in the courts to compel Durbin by mandamus to honor the requisitions. If such proceedings are instituted, they will be in the courts of Indiana and taken on appeal to the supreme court. ESCAPADE OF GAY EVANGELIST. Weds Young Woman and Then Skips. Father-in-Law Offers Reward. James L. Douglas, who recently conducted a revival service at Lithonia, Ga., is the principal In the biggest sensation DeKalb county has known in years. One day last week Douglas married Miss Grace George, daughter of B. F. George, one of the best known citizens of Lithonia and DeKalb county. The ceremony was performed by Rev. William Shaw, pastor of the Berean Congregational church, of Atlanta. Three days after the wedding Douglas left his young bride at their boarding house in Atlanta, saying he was going out on business and would not return until late. That is the last any one has seen of him. It is believed he took a train for New York and from New York sailed for Europe. A reward of $200 has been offered for him by B. F. George, and every effort will be made to bring him back to Atlanta. Six weeks ago Douglas went to Lithonia from Atlanta for the purpose of conducting a revival service. He carried a letter from Rev. William Shaw, of Atlanta. He made a good impression on the people, and was regarded as a strong preacher and a well-educated man. He told a story of his alleged experience in the Galveston flood, where he declared h lost his only sister. He lived at the George residence during his stay in Lithonia, and among other admirers won the esteem of Miss Grace George, a pretty and accomplished young woman. He claimed to be directly from Edinburgh and a member of the United Brethren. Finding none of this sect here, he affiliated with the Congregationalists. RINGLEADER CAUGHT BY POSSE. Negro Escape From Fort Leavenworth Puts Up a Game Fight. Frank Thompson, the negro leader of the munity at the federal prison at Leavenworth, was captured eight miles north of Council Grove, Kansas, Monday evening by a posse. Thompson would not surrender, but was taken after a hard fight with the officers, in which he was shot in the head, but not severely injured. Lawrence Lewis, another of the escapes, was mortally wounded Monday morning near Quenemo in another section of the state while making a dash through a cordon of armed deputies.

CONVICTS IN MUTINY Inmates of Leavenworth Prison Battle With the Guards. DESPERATE RUSH FOR LIBERTY Two of the Prisoners Had Revolvers which Were Freely Used—Twenty-Six Succeed In Breaking From Stockade. A special from Leavenworth, Kans., says: One man was killed, three others dangerously wounded and twenty-six desperate convicts are at large as a result of a mutiny late Thursday afternoon at the site of the new United States prison, two miles southeast of the city, where 400 prisoners from the federal prison, in charge of thirty armed guards, were at work. When the trouble began the rebellious prisoners had only two revolvers. These had been secreted in one of the walls of the building by some unknown person. Gus Parker, of Ardmore', Ind. T., one of the ring leaders of the mutiny, under pretense of a necessity, walked to the corner of the stockade, where the revolvers were concealed and under the cover of some weeds secured them without being detected. He returned to the gang and passed one of the revolvers to Frank Thompson, a negro, who secreted it about his person. When T. E. Hinds, superintendent of construction, and three unarmed guards prepared to round up the men at the end of the day's work, the two armed convicts covered them with revolvers and encouraged by the other mutinous convicts, forced the men to walk before them to the northwestern corner of the high wooden stockade, where they expected to make a rush through an opening. On the outside of the stockade was an armed guard, and the convicts were met at the opening by C. E. Burrows, who fought them back, but who received two shots in the neck. The convicts then rushed over to the south wall to another opening and were met by Arthur Treelford, an armed guard, who is in charge of all the convicts. Treelford resisted the convicts and was shot twice, but not dangerously wounded. Defeated in their attempt to escape at this point, the men rushed to the guard house, a temporary frame structure, where the arms were kept. The guards from the outside rushed in at this point and drove the convicts away from the guard house. J. P. Walrupe, a guard, shot and killed Ford Quinn, from Ryan, Ind. T. The prisoners then made a grand rush for the main entrance and twenty-six of them succeeded in escaping. The convicts, in their flight, compelled F. E. Hinds, superintendent of construction, to go with them and he was not allowed to return until they had gone almost two miles into a forest. W. F. Peaslee, one of the fugitives, who has only fifteen months more to serve, deserted the band a few moments after Superintendent Hinds was released. The two men reached Leavenworth almost at the same time. They reported that the fugitives, after holding a consultation, decided they would form into several parties, so that some might escape, though others should be captured. Twenty-four members of the Fourth cavalry hastened to the scene of the trouble, but when they arrived the convicts had escaped and the soldiers could not participate in the chase without orders from their superiors. However, forty armed guards from the federal prison started in pursuit of the fugitives. The wounded men are in the prison hospital. J. B. Walcrupe, who was shot in the head and neck, is in a precarious condition. Smallpox Patients Rescued. Tracy Home, a hospital at Des Moines in which fifteen smallpox patients were quarantined, was badly damaged by fire Thursday. The inmates were rescued, the firemen and police risking exposure to the contagion. SIX SOLDIERS DROWNED. Disastrous Attempt to Cross Babyon River in Samar Island. A dispatch from Catbalogan, Samar, says: The insurgents are becoming more active in the island of Lerye, Wednesday the town of Matalón was attacked. At Inopacan the insurgents cut the telegraph lines. While a detachment of American troops were repairing it they were fired upon by a band of insurgents. After a brief skirmish the rebels were dispersed. First Lieutenant Robert T. Crawford, of the First infantry, a sergeant and five men, while attempting to cross the Babyon river in Samar, were drowned. CHARGE OF CRIMINAL LIBEL. A County School Ot. clal as Warrant Issued For Georgia State School Commission Glenn. An Atlanta special cays: When State School Commissioner G. R. Glenn appeared at his office at the capitol Monday morning he was placed under arrest by the sheriff of Washington county on the charge of criminal libel made by John N. Rogers, county school commissioner of Washington county. Commissioner Glenn was surprised to hear that he was charged with criminal libel, but did not seem in the least disconcerted over the matter. When asked for a statement, he said: "I cannot see that I have been guilty of criminal libel. For some time Rogers has been circulating injurious reports about me, and I merely wrote him a letter telling him just what I thought of him. I also sent copies of the letter to the members of the board of education of Washington county, as I thought it proper for them to know the true state of affairs, and I thought it my duty to inform them in the matter. "The letter was a severe one, the secrest letter I have ever written. It was a letter which no true man would have deserved and no brave man would have taken. It was written about six weeks ago. "I am not surprised to hear that something of this nature will be attempted. It is all a matter of politics. The affair began from political motives and this last step is only another move of the political cabal of which Rogers is a member. "I am fully acquainted with the law in the case, but as the warrant was issued in Washington county, I suppose that I shall have to go there to answer the preliminary hearing. If this is the case, I shall certainly make no effort to avoid going to Washington county for the hearing." PAYMASTER MINUS HIS CASH. Major Stevens, U. S. A., Mysteriously Relieved of Over Four thousand Dollars Contained In Valise. A mysterious robbery, in which over $4,000 was lost, was reported Sunday night to the Atlanta city detectives, the result of which was that a negro employee of the United States government, who has held his position for seventeen years, was arrested and locked up at the police barracks. Major P. C. Stevens, a government paymaster on his way to rencasola, Fla., to pay off the antillerymen at oFrnt Barcans and MsRea, was the victim. The negro under arrest, J. H. Alexander, denies that he has the money, and the detectives have been unable to ascertain who has the stolen money. Alexander made the following statement: "I took the valise to the depot. I have been working for the government for seventeen years. I knew there was money in the valise. It was very heavy and felt like there was silver in it. I missed the major and his friends. I think they went into a saloon to get a drink. I waited at the depot and when they came up the train was pulling out. We ran to catch the train and could not overtake it. I carried the valise back to the office. I did not open it and did not know that it had been robbed until I was arrested today." Major Stevens states that he gave the money to the negro in a valise and that the robbery was not discovered until he had reached Pensacola, Fla. Last Friday evening Major Stevens started to leave Atlanta, and he placed $4,700 in a valise and gave the valise to Alexander to carry to the union depot. By some misunderstanding the negro did not meet the major at the depot in time to catch the train and the valise was carried back to the office in the Empire building. Major Stevens could not leave without the money and his next train was cheduled to leave Saturday. He took this train. Sunday morning the valise was opened in Pensacola, Fla., and the major found the money was missing. The silver currency, amounting to some $400 or $500, was found intact, but the bills, amounting to $2,200, were missing. UNDER A CITY OF CANVAS. Florida State Fair at Jacksonville Presents a Novel Feature. The first Florida state fair will open in Jacksonville on November 19 to continue through the week. On the large and spacious fair grounds there is not a building, and yet twenty-five counties will have large and attractive exhibits. The entire ground will be a city of canvas. The providing of tents instead of buildings, the main exhibit tent being 300 by 150 feet, was due to the fire of May 3, and yet this novel feature is indicative of being one of the best drawing cards of the fair. **Subscription:** $1.25 per annum; 75s for six Months; 55s for Three Months; Single Copies 6s. In Advance. RATIFIERS JUBILANT Claim Majority of Over 30,000 In Monday's Election. OPPOSITION ALSO MAKE CLAIM All Black Belt Counties Go Heavy Against Measure, But Cities Generally Counterbalanced According to a Birmingham special the ratificationists in Alabama have won 50,000 and 35,000 majority. The vote in the state appears to have been heavier than was expected. The interest in the issue became greatly enlivened during the last few days of the campaign, and this fact, together with the presence at the polls of large numbers of negroes, brought out many voters who had heretofore been lukewarm in their support of the new constitution. There seems to be no doubt but that a heavier vote was cast than has been cast in either of the two last state elections. Of the sixty-six counties in the state, the ratificationists appear to have carried about thirty and the ant-ratifications an equal number. The remainder of the counties are in doubt. The ratifiers carried the large counties and caught the large majorities, however, while their opponents inked the smaller fish. Jefferson county gave 3,500 for ratification. Montgomery about 3,000, Madison about 2,400 and Dallas at least 2,000, while most of the opposition counties sent up majorities in the hundreds. Mobile county was a close battle ground. Governor Jelks' county, Barbour, gave the ratifiers a majority of about 2,000. Mr. Knox's county, Calhoun, gave them about 1,500. One of the greatest victories for the ratifiers was in Pike, the campaign there for the new constitution being led by Hon. W. J. Samford, son of the late governor. The anti-ratifiers appear to have carried the counties of Lee, Lauderdale, Blount, Dale, Walker, Etowah, St. Clair, Cullman, Lamar, Marshall, DeKalb, Jackson, Choctaw, Coosa, Tallapoos, Clay, Marlon, Morgan, Franklin, Cherokee, Chilton, Butler, Conecuh, Lowndes, Henry, Fayette, Genova, Shelby and Winston. Almost the entire seventh district voted against ratification. This had for years been the weakest district in the state from a democratic standpoint. Chairman Shelley, of the anti-ratification state committee, has by no means surrendered. He says he has not heard from anything like all of the counties, but that he calculates a majority of 20,000 against ratification upon the returns he has received. Provisions of Measure. The new constitution for the state of Alabama was framed primarily to improve the character of the suffrage. It provides education or property qualifications for those who were not soldiers or descendants of soldiers, and contains a good character clause. The new instrument provides for a lieutenant governor, governor and state officials with four-year terms; provides for quadrennial instead of biennial sessions of the legislature; reduces the limit of taxation to 65 per cent; insures a fixed appropriation for public schools; prohibits judges and members of the legislature from acquiring free railroad passes, and prohibits lobbying. It also provides a penalty for persons who buy or sell votes. PIGTAILS "RESOJE" THE SUN. The Heathen Chinese Indulge in Pecu- lars and Silly Ceremony A dispatch from Penin says: In conformity with a notice which the foreign office sent to the legations, all the Chinese officials in the capital gathered Monday at the board of rites to "rescue the sun," which was surrendering from a partial eclipse. The rescue was accomplished by prostrations, the burning of incense and the beating of drums. A few foreigners, for the first time in history, were permitted to witness the ceremony.

Twenty Girls Barely Escape Cremation in Cleveland, Ohio—One Received Fatal Injury. A fire that started in the shoe store of N. O. Stone & Co., at Cleveland, O. Tuesday afternoon, caused a loss of $75,000 to that firm, of which $50,000 is on stock and $25,000 on the building. Insurance about $0 per cent of that sum. The jewelry firm of Arnstein Bros. & Mler, on the second floor of the Stone block, lost $40,000; insurance not stated. The upper stories were occupied by physicians, photographers and other tenants. A cornet factory, owned by Miss Graham, employing about twenty girls, was on the fifth floor. When the fire broke out all the girls made a rush for the fire escapes and ladders. The fire spread so rapidly, however, that they could not use the fire escapes and a number of the girls were rescued by firemen on ladders, while three of the women, including Miss Graham, jumped from the fifth floor into a not held by the firemen below. When taken to the hospital Miss Graham was found to be fatally hurt, her side being crushed in, spine fractured and an arm broken. She died at the hospital shortly afterward. Other occupants of the building injured were Miss Peanette Stratton, who jumped from the second story and sustained a broken hip. She will recover. Kate Mulcahy jumped from the third story, receivin' spinal injuries and a broken leg, but her hurts are not serious. Dr. Dow, dentist, and Chestnutt Bros., photographers, were other tenants, and their loss is total, the entire building being a mass of wreckage. SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

The increase in stature among the Japanese is very perceptible; and the substitution of tepid and even cold water for the hot baths' ashong many of the people is responsible for an increasing floridity of the complexion. Before the advent of military discipline on European models the Japanese were notable as the smallest necked race in the world, a firm of London collar makers with a large trade to Papan asserting that thirteen inches was the normal circumference of a full-grown Japanese's throat. In a little over twenty years, owing to more athletic development, the average has risen an inch and a half. To athletic development should also be added greater avoiddupois, inasmuch as a more generous diet and abstention from parboiling is bringing its reward in an accumulation of muscle and tissue.—Chambers' Journal The First Ironclad. According to records recently discovered, the first ironclad was built in the sixteenth century, but as it proved unmanageable was soon abandoned.

Where once I tried in vain to cross Are only piles of stone. And where were little waterfalls, With rushes round the brink, Are only muddy, trampled pools Where cows come down to drink. And so, please, if you took offense, Forgive me right away. And come and water all my flowers Soon as you can. To-day If quite convenient. Don't feel bad, Forget and come again. Why, "fearfully" is just make believe. I really love you rain! Dear rain! Oh, please come back from Spain! -Youth's Companion. Doggie Took a Cab. A New York gentleman has a dog which always goes out with him and follows him wherever he goes. One day, crossing over a crowded part of lower Broadway, the dog disappeared, and his master, after trying in vain to find him, went home alone. When he reached home there was Mr. Doggie sitting on the steps waiting for him, while a cab stood at the curb before the door. The cabby explained that the dog had come home in his cab. He said, while waiting during a block in the traffic down town, the dog jumped into the carriage, set himself down on the seat and refused to move. So, seeing his name, and address on his collar, the cabman brought him home. Seaweed. Though seaweed is most often seen on rocky shores it is found elsewhere in great quantities. There are, so to speak, vast meadows of it in the Gulf Stream, where it is called sargasso, covering a space of 3,000,000 square miles in green and yellow patches. A smaller mass occurs in the North Pacific. In Tierra del Fuego one weed reaches a length of 300 feet, being well named the Giant Kelp. Seaweeds having no roots, they cling to rocks by a kind of sucker. They get their food from the sea, and in turn supply food to countless multitudes of animals, one as big as the whale, the rest mostly so tiny the human eye cannot detect them. They grow so quickly that a perfectly smooth rock has been covered with them—many of the weeds being from two to six feet long—in less than six months. Some of them contain matter that in other forms is valuable. Poor folk on the consts of Ireland and the Western Highlands used to make a living by collecting seaweed and burning it in pits. The brown, glassy-looking cakes of ashes, called kelp, were sold to makers of soap, glass and other things for the soda they contained, but as soda is now got from other sources cheaper and in larger quantities the kelp-gatherers have lost their living. Some weeds contain so much sulphuric acid that when cast up on the beach and left to rot, the silver in the houses near becomes blackened. This has happened at Copenhagen, for instance. A Friendly Field-Mouse. Many stories have been told in the past tending to show that wild animals, when in trouble, will display surprising confidence in man—in fact, will often seek his assistance when sore, beset. The writer, when a boy on a farm in Minnesota, had an experience with a field-mouse which prettily illustrates this trait in wild creatures. It was stacking time, and the men were all busy in the fields lifting the shocks of cured grain and stacking them in hive-shaped stacks in the barnyard. The writer, a barefoot boy at that time, had been following the wagons in the field all the morning in a vain endeavor to capture some field-mice to take home as pets. He had seen a number of the drab little creatures with their short tails, but had failed to lay his hands upon any of them, owing to the thick stubble and the nimbleness of the mice. At last, as a particularly large shock was lifted, a broken nest was disclosed, and the youthful monser was put upon the qul vive by the slender squeaks of seven or eight hairless little belings that were so young as not to have opened their eyes as yet. The mother disappeared with a whisk, whereupon the young hunter sat down in a critical attitude beside the nest and began to examine his find. He had already put one of the young mice in his trouser's pocket when the mother reappeared out of the stubble beside the nest. The boy held his breath and awaited developments. Much to his surprise the mouse-mother, after carefully examining the ruined nest, entered his pocket, which, as he sat, opened very near to the nest. She seemed to come to the conclusion very quickly that her lost little one had found a very good home, and in about two minutes had transferred the remainder, of her offspring from the nest to the pocket, carrying them one at a time in her mouth. The writer has had many varied experiences with wild animals, but none of them impressed him so strongly as the episode of the mouse-mother in the wheat stubble. — Clyde Hayden, in ORICIN OF THE ARMY. Sketch of the Creation of the United States Military Force. In the month of June, 1775, the Continental Congress in session at Philadelphia passed three important resolutions. The first adopted took, over as a continental army the force of New England troops, which, under the lead of Massachusetts, had assembled at Boston, soon after the battles of Lexington and Concord; the second appointed George Washington "Generab and Commander-in-Chief of all the continental forces, raised or to be raised, for the defense of American liberty;" the third adopted "Rules and regulations for the government of the army"—the articles of war, which, modified and amended from time to time, still govern the army and form the basis of the military law. This was the origin of the American army. In the intervening 126 years nearly 5,000,000 men have worn its uniform; it has conducted with success five great wars, covering a period of seventeen years, and numerous minor campaigns against hostile Indians and Filipino insurgents; it has been the chief instrument in restoring and inaugurating civil government after the war with Mexico, the Civil War and the war with Spain; from its ranks have come eleven of the twenty-four Presidents of the United States and many hundreds of men occupying the highest civil offices, Governors of States, Senators and Representatives in Congress, Cabinet Ministers, Ambassadors and Judges of the most important courts. For a people who have never sought war and have only resorted to it when reluctantly forced to do so, the army has filled a large place in our history. It has always been the subordinate and loyal instrument of the civil power. In spite of this it has ever been regarded with a certain jealousy and suspicion, born of other times and conditions and surviving with extraordinary tenacity for generations after those conditions have ceased to exist. Its deeds, its history, its traditions and ideals, the spirit which animates it, the manner in which it has been organized and maintained and its relations to the people whose faithful servant it is and always has been, are worthy of thoughtful study.-Gen. Francis V. Greene, in Scribner's. A FAIR INFERENCE Hastings—I hear that Johnson is studying elocution. Is he going on the stage or upon the lecture platform?

As, is well known, certain species of snail form a favorite dish with French gourmets, and the cultivation of these land mollusca is conducted on a large scale in the outlying suburbs of Paris, particularly in the Department of Aube, where there are large snail gardens, with plantations of thyme, mint, parsley and chervil for the animal's to feed on. When a Frenchman takes snails wild he leaves them, if prudent, a few days to digest their last meal, for there is a current belief that they may be dangerous if they have recently fed on poisonous plants.—London Morning Post "DEAR MRS.
