AN APPEAL TO COURT.
Asked to Enjoin Strikers from
Molesting Substitutes.
THE LOUISVILLE AHD NASHVILLE.
At Mobile, and at Evansville the Lawyers
Have Filed Their rieadiogs for In*
* Junction, and, In Addition,
Will Sue for Damages.
Louisville, Sept. 27.—The Louisville
and Nashville railroad has appealed to
the courts for assistance in dealing with
its striking machinists at Mobile and
Evansville.
The road’s attorneys applied for in
junctions restraining the strikers from
interfering in any manner with work
men employed by the company.
At Evansville the road's lawyers, in
addition to securing a restraining order,
sued the Louisville committeemen, who
persuaded the workmen to quit, for
$3,000 damages.
In this* city the strikers have induced
one-half the machinists brought from a
distance to join their ranks. A small
force of men are at work, and both sides
claim to be certain of victory.

A FLORIDA SENSATION,
How a Prisoner Slade His Escape from
the Jail Authorises.
Ocala, Fla., Sept. 27.—This city is in
a fever of. excitement over the discovery
of what appears to have been a plot to
release a negro cook named Ed Dansy
from the Marion county jail. The
scheme resulted in Dansy s escape and
in the serious wounding of Deputy Sher
iff Bennicker.
Last Saturday an attorney at Mican-
opy, J. W. Wideman, appeared at the
jail here and told Sheriff Hodges that
the prisoner had some money buried in
the woods near the village of Reddick;
that Dansy owed him (Wideman) $100,
and that if the sheriff would permit
Dansy to go to Reddick under guard he
(Wideman) would pay for the team and
$10 for the service of the guard.
The sheriff consented and placed Dansy
in the charge of his deputy, Bennicker,
for the journey. A pair of horses and a
buggy were secured bv Wideman, and
early Sunday morning the three men left.
Wideman, Deputy Bennicker and the
negro prisoner Dansy drove to a thick
wood near Reddick and then the negro
led the others a long tramp of six miles
into the forest afoot. Finally he indi
cated the spot where he claimed tho
money was buried.
Wideman agreed to guard Dansy
while the deputy dug for the cash. The
deputy began digging, and when lie was
stooping over with Ids back to Dansy
the latter pounced upon him and seized
the deputy's pistol from his hip pocket.
When Bennicker arose and faced him
the negro took deliberate aim and fired
at him. The ball entered his body. near
the waist and Bennicker threw up his
hands, exclaiming that he was mortally
wounded.
The negro fled and Wideman declined
to pursue him, being unarmed, and the
negro still ix>3sessed of the pistol. Tho
deputy was not fatally shot, and he and
Wideman walked back to their team
and drove to the village, where Beimick-
er’s wound was dressed. Wideman has
since been arrested and held in $230 bail
on the charge of aiding a prisoner to es
cape. Two hundred men are searching
the woods for the. fugitive negro, but
they are hardly likely to capture him.
It was deemed necessary for the mayor
to organize a municipal government,
which was done by the appointment of
six men from the board of health and re
lief committee to act in conjunction with
the mayor and the two remaining aider-
men in case of emergency.
At the noon meeting the boanl of
health reported one new case, and dis
charged Mrs. Sleeper White. One death
is reported—Mrs. Stockes.
