KNOCKED HIM DOWN And Four of Them Made Their Escape. ANOTHER JAIL DELIVERY. All But One Captured—Jailer Copeland Gets Bruised Up a Little. There was another jail escape yester day afternoon. It was managed in the same manner as when Chester Scott and his associates escaped a few weeks ago. Five men escaped from their cells, and crouched just inside the main door. When Jailer Copeland opened it they leaped upon him. Four got outside, but within an hour three had been captured. One is still at large. All are negroes. The five who made the attempt are: Jordan Ware, who did not get outside. Jim Townsend, convicted of forgery, and in jail waiting a hearing of bis appli cation for a new trial; recaptured. Dick Gordon, a boy convicted of as sault to rape, and awaiting new trial; re captured. Sank Kemp, stealing cotton; recap tured. Henry Sadder white, stealing cotton; when last heard of was traveling rapidly away from Rome up near the brick yard. The escape was made yesterday after noon about 4 o’clock. The five who made the attempt were in cells up stairs. It is thought they received assistance from two men in the hall to get out of the cells. A bar of iron was wrenched from its place, and with this the steel lattice work between the hallway and the outside corridor was pryed apart sufficient for them to get through. In the corridor they awaited the com ing of the jailer. He goes in and locks up just before dark every afternoon, and they stood just inside the massive iron door waiting for it to be unlocked. As Copeland opened it they jumped upon him and knocked him down. They held him down and tried to take his pis tol, but he clung to it until they became afraid of help coming and fan ouL Cope land shut Ware inside, and started after the others. He fired his pistol twice,and chased Townsend around the block, catching him in front of Aycock’s stable. The firing drew a crowd, and a chase after the others was begun. All went up town. Street Overseer Brown, Mr. Johnson and others closed in on Gordon and Kemp,on North Boundary street,and with the assistance of Policeman Tom Logan, they were returned to jail. The remaining escape is an old negro, with gray whiskers. It is said he was captured twice, but succeeded in con vincing the captors that he was not a j til bird. He was chased to the brick yard, and there is little chance of his getting away. Scott and his crowd got out in the same way. It is a necessity that the iron bars, so easily wrenched out of place be all taken out, and that the jiilor be more careful about opening the main door. HUNTERS’ HARDSHIPS. They Are Taken For Burglars, or Thought They Were. Special to The Tribune. Coosa, Ga., Nov. 23. —Duke Black and Charley Harper are nrghty fine boys and both good huntsmen, but they have some mishaps with all their good luck. They came in a store here yesterday with’their pockets stuffed full of game, and inquired for a young gentleman who was to meet them here. As the afore said gent hadjaot put in his appearance, they concluded to_t>ke a lunch of sal mon and crackers. The merchant left “charge’d affairs” while he went around to the house and sent his son to stay with them while they lunched. As the young man went into the store he picked up one of the’guns sittikg on the out side, to get it to a safer place. The gun happened to be cocked, and was acci dentally discharged into the ceiling. This created considerable confusion in the ranks, and the boys, thinking they were in for a war with the enemy be tween them and their guns, commenced falling back in bad order. Duke turned a double summersault over the counter, and Charley slid into a dry goods box like an eel going out of a trap, both yell ing lustily, “don’t shoot me, we are not burglars.” BILL ADKIN’S DOC. A Friend Says Mr. Adkins Didn’t Finish the Stoay. “I noticed Bill Adkins’ dog story in The Tbibune,” said one of a group yesterday, “and I have only one objec tion to it. After telling as good a story as he did, it seems to me he rather lost an opportunity—and without straining his conscience any more —by not adding that the mother of the pups, after bury ing them, shed tears on the grave, and gathered a bnnoh of chrysanthemums and placed them on it, put np a head stone and preached a sermon. Bill is a good one, and I can’t understand why he slopped bls stogy where he did.’’ ..1 • > ■ ' ' ■ ■ ■ rW.J TROUBLE WITH NEGROES 1 .. i .

SEEING THE CITY- Two Farmer* Investigate Kerne by Night With Greatest Hilarity. They came to town,! and sold their cot ton, and then proceeded to investigate the city under the glamour of electric lights and moonbeams, while with their small change inspiration was secured in small glasses with straight water as a chaser. This was night before last and the cold weather caused them to seek refuge in rooms over a store on the upper end of Broad street. They secured rooms and with them companions who entered with great zest and hilarity into the avowed purpose of the strangers to continue the search after inspiration byway of the bottle route, and great was the result, so it is judged by the results. It was a little after 2 o’clock yesterday morning that two men calling themselves Bell, and stating that-their homes Were near Adairsville, found a policeman, and with chattering teeth told them this much, —and more. They stated that the lady who had so kindly allowed them the use of the rooms had become too inti mate with their pocketbooks and had removed something like S7O. Then she awoke them, and in tragic tones told them that the police were coming—a base fab rication, and hustled them outside into the cold night air. The officers listened and after investi gation kindly allowed the Messrs. Bell to lodge in warm cells. For company they were given their companions in tho per sons of Jim Duncan, his wife, whom they charged with taking the money, Emma McKenzie, a woman named Craig and three other dilapidated specimens of the same peculiar type of beauty. Yesterday morning Recorder Fouche tried »he whole lot. The men thought they bad seen enough of the city for this trip, but His Honor decided to allow them to see the inside of the jail cr give a SSO bond each. They went to jail. | Duncan and his wife, the Craig woman and the Keith woman followed. The in-: spiration had given cut and the hilarity I was of the same nature as that “not loud out deep.” | The Recorder had thirteen women be-, fore him yesterday, most of them for I drunk and disorderly conduct.

The Streets Crowded With Cot ton Wagons. $20,000 TO THE FARMERS. The Streets Get Blocked and the Cotton Men Have a Very Busy Day. The streets of Rome presented the busiest scene yesterday of any day this year. Early in the morning wagons loaded with cotton began coming in from Pickens, Chattooga, Gordon and Fannin counties, and from Alabama, and the stream continued pouring in during the entire day. During the early m irning hour a Tbi bune man counted a continuous string of eighty-one wagons, and nearly every one bore two or three bales. All of these were from Pickens county,and the others coming in from the same direction made a procession that with few breaks lasted for hours. They filled up the lower ends of Broad street, East First street and West First street, as well as the cross streets between these. The business streets were crowded all day. A majority of the wagons came fifty miles, and some a good deal further. Most of them started out from home on Honday morning, the teamsters camping in bodies that night and Tuesday night. They spent yesterday and last night here, and will leave this morning. Yesterday was decidedly the biggest day for street cotton of the year. So crowded were the streets that as wide as Broad street is, at the intersection of Fifth avenue a block occurred that stopped all passage until Policeman Guice straightened it out. In all, Rome received 1,000 bales yes terday, and the week’s receipts are ex pected to almost reach 5,000. Twenty thousand dollars were paid in person to those who brought cotton by wagon. A Pickens county man said at least $6,000 has been paid farmers from there yester day. —Whatare they doing with the roonev, is a question frequently asked. Some of the cotton meh say the farmers are not putting in the banks, are not trading much, and are not doing very much to ward paying their debts. Mr. J. W. Rounsaville said to the Tribune that their collections had been ext aordinarily good, and they had no room to complain. “The farmers do not owe much,” he said, “and with the rest of their money they are preparing for next year.” Mr. R. D. Vandyke says his collections are splendid, and trade is excellent. Hamilton & Co. are of the opinion that the farmers are carrying their money home. Collections not up to expecta tion. The Simpson Grocery Company re ports fair collections and trade. “Trade today has been good,” said Mr. R. J. Ragan, “and collections are fair. I don’t think the farmers are carryingas much money home with them as is gen e;ally supposed.” I “The crowd here today,” said Mr. W. H. Coker,didn’t “owe much in Rome, and j they didn’t do much trading considering ! that $20,000 was paid out to them. I bought 164 bales myself.” i Mr. Coker bought 100 bales in forty minutes, which, Gus Shropshire says, ■ breaks the record. ■ Try BLACK-DRAUGHJ .ea tor Dyspepsia.

John Hambrick, living near Rounsa ville’s Mill, had a thrilling experience last night. He had a hand-to-hand conflict with three negroes, and in the struggle he and one of his assailants were badly injured. It was a terrible battle, but Mr. Ham brick came out alive. All three of the would-be robbers escaped. Mr. Hambrick came to Rome yesterday with a bale of cotton and sold it. He returned home, and in the early part of the night was sitting alone before a big fire in his house about six miles from tbe city. Suddenly three burly negroes broke down the door and rushed in. “Give us that money,” they demanded. “What money?” “That money you got for your cotton. And be quick about it.” They advanced as they spoke, and in a moment the four were engaged in a desperate struggle. With great courage and amazing success Mr. Hambrick fought the three. No weapons were used, and for many minutes the fight went on. Up and down the room they battled, all taking a band, and the de fender of his property hold ng his own. There were cries and curses, and deep were the oaths of the negroes as they realized that they had such a fight on their hands. As they clinched and fought, they approached the big fire place. Mr. Hambrick and one of the negroes were hugging eacn other in deathly embrace The others became frightened, and with a shove toward the fire they ran out of the door. Mr. Hambric! and his assailant fell into the fire. Both leaped from it, and with their clothing blazing, and yelling in pain the last of the trio of robbers rushed from the house. - Mr. Hambrick crawled out only to find serious burns on the left side. The left arm was rendered useless for the time, and in great pain he hurried to have help summoned. All of the assailants had disappeared, but .a posse was soon se cured to chase them. Word was sent here to Sheriff Moore, and a strong effort will be made to capture tbe guilty ones. Mr. Hambrick is very seriously hurt, but it is hoped he will recover.
