Berwanger Bros say they are hav ing quite a rush for the "Mother's Friend Waists;" just the thing for children. Two Prisoners Captured. Late last night deputy sheriff J M Carlton, of House's Creek township, captured in Cedar Fork township, quite near the Durham county line, Robert Fletcher and John Forsyth, two of the ten negroes who broke out of jail Wednesday morning. Deputy sheriff Carlton marched the men here from the place of capture some 17 miles distant, and about 4:15 this morning they were put in jail. They do not have much to say. As they were put back in jail they remarked that just sat the same time two days before they left the jail. This shows that it was broad daylight when the ten menso coolly walked out of the jail enclosure. In fact Fletcher and Forsyth said as much. Some of the men when they left crossed Fay etteville street and went southeast, Some went northwest, among the lat ter being the two recaptured. They say it was an all-night job breaking out of the jail. Charles Faucett, from New Light township, is given credit for planning the escape, but Orange Page was the hardest worker, as was but natural, as his life was at stake. There is no reason for believing the storv told by some of the other pris oners, that they did not hear the noise made by those who were breaking out. It is said that the latter used their coats and the cell hammocks in wrapping the powerful steel levers made out of the bedstead which was broken up, and also in so stuffing the spaces between the bars of the cell that there would be as little of a jar or sudden break as possible. Never. theless the noise was great and if the authorities bad never allowed the singing and dancing in the jail the other noises could have been heard nlainlv. It is said on the streets that if the authorities bad sent mounted men out on the various roads just as soon as the escape was discovered most of the prisoners would have been cap tured yesterday. Sheriff Page is making earnest and unremitting efforts to capture all the escaped prisoners. Representative Bryan, the eloquent Nebraskan who will address the Greensboro industrial and normal school next week, wrote yesterday to his constituents declining to stand for renomination. Deputies Moffltt.Tate and Ferguson report to collector Simmons that they made a revenue raid in Moore county yesterday and captured a 60 gallon il licit distillery owned by Tate Brady and Bold Coble. A lady from Lenoir county who is attending the normal and industrial school passed bere on her wav home, accompanied by her father. She was injured internally during calls thenic exercises. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will next Tuesday have a lunch room at No 120 Ftyetteville street, the store lately occupied by Mr Cecil H Stone, and will serve meals in attractive style.

The effort now being made is to in duoe all parties in interest to agree to the recent sale. Meantime hot summer is here and there are no cars. Yesterday afternoon Dr P E Hines' horse ran away with his buggy and smashed the vehicle and threw out the driver, a colored man, who was drag ged some distance, but not hurt. The horse ran ten or twelve blocks He tried to climb on the high Burning at the southwest corner of capitol -'iu,re This afternoon while Miaoos Mary Turner and M ggie Hill were on their way down town in a pony cart a wheel struck a car track near tne arsenal, frightening the pony, which made a jump and overturned the cart.
