Mr. Ralph Ansley, one of the best known young men of Smithville and several years ago a resident of Bnmter county, is to be looated here, having seeepted a position at L. U. Counoil's warchonso. Mr. Ansley has many friends in Americne who are glad to K vn that he will now be here per- ently. Americas came near having a whole sale jail delivery on Friday morning and, bnt for the courage, grit and plnck of Jailer Bonny Brown, the doable murderer Monroe Adams and five other negro prisoners would have left the barred castle. A ferocious and murderous attack was made npon Jailer Brown, Bnt, wrenching himself from the grasp of the desperadoes, he finally succeeded in training his pistol npon them and ordered the gang back to their cells. Jailer|Brown was inside the corri dor, on the first floor, admitting the negro bicycle thief, Charles Motley, when Monroe Adams, the double mar derer, and five other prisoners who wereltaking their weekly exeroiso in the corridor, jumped on him. Monroe Adams clntched Mr. Brown’s throat with both hand;, attempting to choke him to death, while others as- sanlted him. It £was a terrible straggle, one white man against six desperate black oriminals. Upon entering the jail Mr, Brown looked the outside, or street door, be hind him, and put the key away. But for this several of the gang, who later made a holt for the door, would have escaped easily. Pompey Walker, a life eentenco oon viot, but who was not of the party at tempting^ escape, was called npon by Jailer Brown for help. And be it said to the credit of Walker ha re sponded ^quickly and pulled one or two negroea away from the prostrate oflioer. Thus freed,^Jailer Brown pulled his gun and was master of tho situation. I Leveling it at the desperadoes, they fell npon their knees and begged the jailer not to shoot Mon Adams was the first one to go slinking baek to his steel cell. The; others followed, wherenpon Jailer Brown fired one shot in the air as a signal for help. Tjils quickly brought Sheriff Bell and others to the resoue and the six demons were looked up in their cages secure and fast. It was a desperate and daring at tempt, and.ibnt for the conrage and plnck of Jailer Brown, with the aid of Pompey Walker, Bnmter might have had a jail delivery of large proportions. DR.

Ryan, of the mine workers, the secre tary of the convention was instrticted to cast the unanimous vote of the con vention for Mr. Gompers. This was done, and he was declared duly elect, ed.
