He was soon recaptur ! ed, however. j Monday afternoon a man in citizens t-lotbes approached Mr. Jones, a guard at the peniten tiary, aud gave him a note from Capt. Fleming, the warden, request ( ing him to come and see him. He told the guard he would keep the gun for him, and asked where was the key , to the gate. "Some one might want j to get in," he said, "and if I have J the key, I ran let them in " This Mr. J Joues showed him and, giving the man j his gun, started to find Capt Fleming. Capt. Fleming said he had written no noie aud the immediate presump tion was that an escape had been ef ferted. An investigation was made aud the gate was found open. Butler and two other eon tints were missed. Itip-ars that Butler had gone to ! room of a guard, stolen a suit of cii i us i lo 1, i and made his escape as declined above. Superintendent A.

EalaUth.K.'u CITY'S STREETS. THE SMALL TALK OF NEWS THAT WENT ON THERE- Tills 3tufr is Always of Interest and Ever Now. Wake eonnty has been excepted from the new criminal circuit, recently created by the legislature. Mrs. Oaks, the wife of deputy sher iff Oaks, is quite ill, the Visitor is sorry to learn. The beginning of Lent is here. The season will be observed very generally by church goers here. The little boy of senator Moody passed a bad night. He is seriously hurt but it is the opinion of his phy sician that he will recover. Two legislators have died since the representatives arrived. Both deaths were caused by pneumonia, brought on by la grippe. Another sign of spriug the ice factory commenced again today aud theunearthly shriek of its whistle will uow be heard daily again. The superior court held for half au hour only this morning and then ad journed. The calendar is a very light and unimportant one. This week the regular evening ser vices at the Presbyterian church that were formally held on Weduesday evening's, will be held tomorrow even ing. It is intimated that those in favor of temperance legislation are to intro duce another measure of the kind This time the bill will be peesented U the house. t All those who have promised dona tions for the Epworth reception to morrow evening are requested to send their donations to tho Sunday school room by 1 o'clock Thursday. The poor, afllicted "pop corn ni-n" whose tent was recently robbed is out again with a fresh stock. He now has only a basket. No punishment is too severe for the man who would rob such a sufferer as he is. At the night session of the house yesterday the Young bill came up and a vote was taken. There was a gjod majority of votes against the bill but a call for a quorum having been made, it was found that there was no quo rum. So the Young bill is yet a live issue. People boarding a street car going down Blount street the other evening had no fare to pay. The electric light globes in the car were out of or der and the interior was as dark as pitch. The conductor did not have the nerve to try to collect the fares. In superior court this morning Mr. E. S. Battle, a son of R. H. Battle, Esq., who recently obtained his law license, was admitted to practice. His many friends are confident that he is well able to take his stand among the several brilliant young attorneys who have recently taken up the prac tice of law here. The big shafts that are nsed to get the stone for the Confederate monu ment in place have now been raised to an almost perpendicular position. They are supported by ropes attached to the trees near by and look insecurely held. Such of course is not the case but the position of workmen at the top looks perilous. This morning there was registered in the registers of deeds office, a deed for a lot on West Salisbury street that was given in ufay, 1894, the lot hav ing been ordered sold by the court in January of that year. The deed was given by E. C. Smith and J. T. Pullen to J. S. Wynne. The price paid was 1750.00. . Thanks. I return my thanks to my kind neighbors whoshowed me much kind ness and respect at the death of my dear husband. Respectfully, Mrs. Jahb Walters. Hicks' Fragrant Almonds For chaps and .fever blisters and Dr. Nagle's certain cough cure are guaranteed satisfactory or money re funded. . 15o at Hicks & Rogers, suo oewtors to Snelliag & Hioks, druggist.

After exactly una week's illness, of pneumonia, tena'or EJrd Lafayette Franrk, of Richlands, Onslow county, died in his room at tin Branson house, just before 3 o'clock this morning.

His body was soon after noon t iken to the Union depot, the senate a-om-pming it in a body, headed by ofd cers and cl-rks. The senate s-ut a beautiful ttorxl crots. Mrs. A. J. El lis also sent (lowers. 'rhe body accompanied by two sen ators and two representatives, and by priucipal clerk Hill King of thesenate, was taken to Newl?ern, where it will re main tonight. Tomorrow it will be taken to Jacksonville and thence to Richlands, where the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon. A VERBAL REPORT Handed in to the. Printing Committee, Naming the Stewarts. The printing committee had a meet ing yesterday afternoon for the pur pose of hearing the report of the sub committee, appointed to examine the bids for the public print ing and to de cide which bid is the lowest. The sub. committee reported, bnt thy didn't do it ill th rig'-; form, as the report was verbal i-'si-md uf written. The printing committee wanted to do everything in regular form, so the matter has not yet been settled. The committee meets this afternoon; the sub-committee has everything written up on nicely decorated note paper and the question is, it is . hoped, will then be definitely settled. A Visitor reporter saw Mr. Barnes, one of the bidders, this morning. He said that the Stewarts had the lowest bid, in spite of what the experts called in by Edwards and Broughton, might have to say about the matter. It has been intimated that should the Stewarts get the printing, Barues Brothers will catch .a good deal of the work. Mr. Barnes said no arrangements had been made between the Stewarts and himself. ENGINE OFF THE TRACK. Freight Engine, Drawing a Train, Leaves the Track. At 3 o'clock this afternoon a south, bound freight train left Johnson street depot bound for a 100 mile run. The train was not destined to go that far however for just before the train reached the Jones street crossing the big freight engine, No. 537, jumped the track, pulling the tender with it. The locomotive is clear of the track, almost, the left wheels lying just in side the right rail. At the point the accident occurred there is a slight de pression on the right hand side and the heavy engine, sunk into the soft mud, is inclined to a angle of about 25 degrees. Engineer Johnson was in charge of the locomotive and con ductor Wilson, of the train. No one was hurt except Mr. Wilson whs was only slightly bruised. Had the train been oat of the city limits there would have been loss of life. The train was moving slowly at the time. The acci dent was an accident pure and simple, the 9 itch being split, that is the locomotive and tender going on one traok and the cars on the other. None of th cars left the track. The massive, six driver engine; as it lay on its side, looked woefully help less. Powerful as it is, it can do noth ing without the rail. It was even a pitiful sight. A great, big, engine lying there helpless as a new born bat . Ths track is blooked by it, thoigh. ASH WEDNESDAY. THE DAY WHICH BEGINS THE LENTEN SEASON.
