William Lamb has heretofore been
the reaiMuster boss in Norfolk. It will
soon pass into a saying that the party
in that section is as meek and quiet as
a Lamb they having been well lambed.

The Macon Telegraph says that the
present drouth is the longest known for
many years. In portions ot South
western Georgia the farmers who pat
ronize steam mills not only haul their
corn to the mills, but also barrels ot
water with which to fill the boilers to
raise steam. All of the springs and
branches are dried up, and, in many
cases, the wells. There is much suffer
ing among people and cattle.
Ex-Governor and Ex-U. S. Senator
Theodore F. Randolph died on Wednes
day morning at his home in Morris
town, New Jersey. His death is attri
buted to heart disease. We copy from
the New York Sun :
Mr. Randolphwas born in NeWBruns
wick, N. J., June 24,1826, received . his
education at the Rutgers Grammer
School, and went to Mississippi, where
he remained until 1850, when he return
ed to New Jersey and took up his resi
dence in Morristown in 18G3. His
early lite was spent as a merchant in
the coal and iron business, in which
he accumulated considerable property.
He was elected to the New Jersey Assem
bly as a Democrat in 1860. In 1861 he
was Chairman of the special committee
on the Peace Congress, and was active
during the war in furnishing relief to
families of volunteer soldiers. Ho was
elected State Senator to fill an unex
pired term in 1862, and was in the Sen
ate again in 1865.
At tne close of his Gubernatorial
terra Mr. Randolph was engaged in
business pursuits, and was also Presi
dent ofthe Morris and Essex Railroad.
He was elected United States Senator
in 1874, and served until 1831, having
'succeeded Commodore Stockton. He
was at ono time Chairman-of the Dem
ocratic National Executive Committee.
In early life he married Miss Coleman,
a descendant of Chief Justice Marshall.
She surviyes him, as do three sons and
three daughters.
E. F. Martin, the indefatigable and
ubiquitous colored railroader, is still on
the canvass in behalf of the Wilming
ton, Wrightsvillo & Onslow R. R. He
was in Newbern on Wednesday and
there was a meeting there that night,
in regard to which we glean the follow
ing from the Journal:
E. F. Martin, Superintendent aud
general manager ot the Wilmington,
Wrightsyille & Onslow Railroad, ad
dressed the colored people of this city
last night at the court houso in the in
terest of his road. He had a very re
spectable meeting which was presided
over by B. W. Horris, and his remarks
were well received. In the course of
his remarks he stated that he was the
first negro mail contractor in North
Carolina and not being able to hire a
horse with which to carry it he waiksd
to the postoflice, threw the mail bag
across his shoulder and walked to
Jacksonville, returning a day ahead of
time. He must have seen and felt the
necessity of this railroad while carrying
this mail. He says he has six miles
ot his road graded and he is deter ruin
ed to build it. - His plan is feasible, and
if he could succeed in arousing one-half
tho enthusiasm for it that a shrewd
- candidate for the nomination- lor Con
gress can at the beginning of a political
campaign the road will be built .

WILMINGTON. N. C, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 9.
JAIL DELIVERY.
A Oaring: and Successful At
tempt to Escape From the
County Jail.
At about 8 o'clock this morning, the
hour at which the prisoners in the
County Jail are given their breakfasts,
the jailer and his assistant went to per
form" that duty. , The young assistant
went np and unlocked the trap door to
the room where those who have been
sentenced for criminal offences are con
fined, while tho jailer came along be
hind with the breakfast. I As the for
mer unlocked the trap he was knocked
oyer the head with the heel ot a boot by
one of the prisoners, who, with his
companions iu confinement, immcdi.
ately rushed down through the trap and
grappled with the jailer, whom they
overpowered and took from him his
pistol and the keys to the several cells
and turned the prisoners ldose. There
were eleven prisoners in all in the jail
and seven ot them made a rush for
liberty, and as the other doors were
opened it was but a moment before they
were all in the yard, and making their
escape over the wail in the rear of the
jail. The alarm was given and the
jailer's wife came to the rescue in sea
son to capture Frank Cornell, a young
white man hailing from New York,
who was awaiting trial for the larccnry
nf o urntrh Fmm n. rrlrrpil man at
the Commercial Hotel. He had gotten
partly over the wall when she caught
him and drew him back and he is now
safely confined in his cell to mourn
over hopes blighted by a woman. Mr.
J. H. Jones, whose stables is near by
heard the alarm and ran to see what
was the matter. As he got past the
jail and obtained a good view of the
yard he saw one of the colored prison
ers climbing over the wall and be
hastened around into Fourth street
just as the prisoner came out upon the
sidewalk. The latter started to run.
but tripped and feUY and before he
recovered himself Mr. Jones was upon
him and gave him a polite but emphat
ic invitation to walk back to the jail
and he is now safely locked up. These
two out of the seven were capteurcd at
once while the other five are at large at
the time of this writing.
Of those who escaped Jerry Lanier,
and Robert Costm. both colored, are
from this county. The former was
convicted of embuzzlement and the
latter of false pretence, and were sen
tenccd to four years each in the peniten
tiary. From this they appealed to the
Supreme Court which atj its recent
session confirmed the judgment of the
Court below, and they were awaiting a
resentence before being sent to Raleigh.
T-hey were both sentenced before the
same term of Court and have been in
jail since then about a year. The other
three were from Pender County, and
were in jail awaiting trial at the next
term of the Criminal Court. They
were Joe George, white, charged with
perjury; Archie Pigford, colored,
carrying a concealed weapon, and
William Nixon, also coloied, larceny.
It was a bold attempt, and almost
deserved success for its daring, i That
the act gave any possible hopes of suc
cess, occurring as it did in the broad
light of day, seems impossible. (There
were dozens of people in close proaiity
and the streets through which the es
caping prisoners had to pass were being
traversed by hundreds of citizens, and
the wonder is that they were not all
captured before they had proceeded two
squares.

Auarky Jowells, a colored woman
aged about 40 years, i who lived on
Eighth, i between Orange and Ann
streets, was found dead iu her bed ihis
morning. She lived alone, although
there was an old colored man living in
the other portion of the house. He
stated to the Coroner that he heard the
woman groan during the night, but
thought it was probably done in her
sleep and thought nothing further of
tho matter until he found her dead this
morning. It was the opinion of the
physician that the cause of ' death was
convulsions, and an inquest was not
considered necessary. The deceased
was unmarried. We failed to learn
whether she left any relatives or not.
