THE STATE FAIR ENDED.
Yesterday's Awards—The Itnces— Other
Folnts About the Fnir.
Yesterday witnessed the close of the State fair.
The day waa occupied by the Judge# in finishing
their avrirds. Four race*, made up by owners ox
hontes, were run. and furnished amusement to the
email crowd present
Iu the afternoon exhibitors began to remove
tht-ir displays, and by dark but few remained. The
offices or the officers of the fair were closed, their
effects having been moved Into the city. All the
prizes, of whatever nature, were delivered.
It is estimated that tho gate receipts during the
week were $18,000. On Thursday two ticket sellers
alone sold $3,000 worth of tickets. Pecuniarily,
tho fair was a success, and on that score the Agri
cultural Society will have nothing of which to com
plain.
Below will be found the list of the awards and

MEREDITH’S ESCAPE.
A Case of “Now You >c«? It," and Now You
Don't'*—Statement* of Those Concerned.
Yesterday the absorbing topic of discussion was
the escape the night previous of Walter Meredith,
the escaped convict.
A TfcLt.»in.vfM reporter went to the bottom of the
matter, and la enabled this morning to present all
the facts in the case.
Information was obtained from the following
gentlemen, all of whom were in one way or another
connected with the escape.
Deputy Sheriff O'Pry.
Jailer Birdsong.
Justice W. A. Poe.
Mr. M. O. Bayne.
Judge Charles J. Harris.
Deputy Sheriff O’Pry regretted Blereditb's escape
deeply, but did not think nimself to blame.
“The facts are these,” be slid, "and I think they
clear my skirts: Friday morning I went to the city
prison with a warrant for Meredith, charging him
with larceny from the person, Mr. M. G. Bayne
was present. When I started to the county Jail
with my prisoner Mr. Bayne said something about
releasing him on bond. I paid no attention to the
remark, and carried my prisoner to the jail and had
him placed in a cell.
“A short time after, I met BIr. Bayne, and he
told me that he had been employed to get Meredith
out of jail on bond. At his request I went into his
office where Justice W. A. Poe was slttiug. Justice
Poe drow up tho bond; living tho sum at two huu-
dred and fifty dollars. While Justice Poo issued
the warrant for Moredith’s arrest, I was not satisfied
with
THE BOND MATTER,
and so stated. At my suggestion, Mr. Bayne and I
went out to search for Judge Harris, of the City
Court, In order to sustaiv his opinion. We hunt
ed from 11 in tho morning until 3 in the afternoon,
a bound down the dark hall. I .was very much
startled and immediately gave the alarm and ran
after him down the hall. My first impressions were
that I had lost the money put in tho hands of tho
officerand I tried to catch him. The hall was so
dark no one could see a man half way down it.
The Solicitor-General told me that he should holf
the money as a forfeiture for bis not appearing. Id
this can be done, then there certainly was no
escape and the mau had a right to go where he
pleased, though ho did not know it. 1 certainly ex
pected, when I put the money iu the hands of the
officers to protect the sheriff tf ud his deputy in
bringing the mau to my office, that he was to be
held until everything was perfected, and I would
have held him if possible. I met the man some
time ago in Atlanta, sud he was introduced to me as a
gentleman. I met him again while iu Atlanta lost
fall. I thought he lived iu Atlanta. This acquaint
ance is tho pnly reason I know why he sent for me
to employ mo to defend him. I thought him a
gentleman and so represented him. I thought the
case oue of mistaken Identity os occurred at least
twice during the fair week and the parties released.
The warrant charged larceny from the person with
out charging what was stolen or from whom. The
offense did not appear to be a felony, ns larceny
from the person under fifty dollars is a misde
meanor. I thought an innocent mau was incarce
rated and my sympathies were for him and I
worked hard to try to get him bail.
BI. G. Bayne.
Card from Judge E. II* Pottle.
Editors Telegraph: Iu your reporter’s statement
of the circumstances connected with the case of tho
mau Meredith he says “that Judge E. H. Pottle,
Mr. Bayne's partner, was not connected with
tho case in any manner, nor did ho know
anything of the case until yesterday morn
ing,’' This statement is exactly correct so
far as relates to the occurrences during the

“I Feel so Well."
I want to thank you for telling me of Dr.
Pierce’s ••Fovorlte Prescription,” writes a lady to
her friend. “For a long time I was unfit to attend
to the work of my household. I kept about, but I
felt thoroughly miserable. I had terrible back
aches. and bearing-down sensations across me and
was quite weak and discouraged. I sent and got
some of the medicine after receiving your lotter,
and it has cured me. I hardly know myself, I

Can nfford to set ’em up this week. Of course wo mean in tho wny of bargains, for wo
did a driving business during the Fair. If ail hail been waited on that thronged to onr
counters during the week wo would have sold ont, but then everybody done tolerably
well, Bimply because there were so many people here und everybody had more or lenu
mosey and by the time some of our light-lingered visitors got through with the unsus
pecting onejhud considerably moro and the other muchley less.
LYONS<$r CLINE'S
biggest trade the past week was in Ladies’ and Misses’ Coverings und Silks in both Black
and Colored. There is no doubt but that we sold moro Coverings than any 3 houses iu
the city. The ladies said after looking aronnd tlmt our assortment was the best and onr
prices the lowest by 25 per cent, to be found in this market. *
Judging from the immense crowds that daily thronged onr connters one could plain
ly sec that Lyons k Cline's reputation iu the Leaders and Controllers of Low Prices waa
not a local matter, confined to home, but had gone abroad.
The fair is over, but Lyons k Cline are going to keep up the excitement by offering
some lively bargains. The first thing will be—
6,000 yards heavy Canton Flannels at 10o., worth 15c.
2,500 yards of Highland Plaids at Glc., worth 10c,
3,000 yards of figured Worsteds at 4.Jc., worth 8c.
4,000 yards of Mohair Worsteds at 10c; same goods are worth elsewhere 20c.
Good Ginghams at 31c. Good Calicoes at 3)o.
Good Jeans (Wool) 25c. Yard wide Bleabhing at 6c,
Good Turkey Bed Table Damosk at 35 and 40.
400 dozen good Towels (job lot) half value. We have more than we want and will
close out at a bargain.
LYONS k CLINE sold some very handsome Coverings the past week. Onr $40, $50 •
and $75 Wraps was said by every one who saw them to bo the most stylish in the market,
and as for onr prices everybody knows that what they find at 97 Cherry street is always
25 per cent cheaper than any othor house will offer them. Onr trade in Circulars,
Visettes, Newmarkets and Coverings of all kinds was so ninch greater than we expected
that we nearly sold ont hut wo duplicated our orders by telegram and to-morrow we will
show you on entire new assortment
LYONS & CLINE

25c. is just aB good as other house sell at 37}c., and our Mohair Dress Goods in Gray
and Brown at 10c. is like other house sell at 20c,
When it comes to Block and Colored Silks Lyons k Cline has the repntation and
justly so of selling as good a Black Silk for ONE DOLLAR os other house charge ono
dollar and thirty-fivo cents for.
