The Cruelty of Fate.
Going down Capital avenue 1 met an old
man with a gray beard, sal-faced and forlorn
looking, upon whose breast crossed and neatly
pltmed waa a empty sleeve. Age had but lm*
paired his health and bent hla form. The
eagle eye still blazed 'neath hU>Intry locks.
Tbe firm planting of each foot, though bear*
log a trembling form, tbe iquare dropping of
shoulders, as well as the military salute
he made me as I passed, all bespoke the old
soldier. Seeing he was not averse to being
Interviewed, I turned and at once addressed
him. using for the opentag wedge of convene*
tlon the old yet ever new topic, weather:
"Quite a chilly dty, sir, for this sesson of
“ i year, Is It not?"
Well, I <f ** ‘
lngwotd, __
minds me ot my oM home ia the lummtslus;
whenever lu spring the gmts of wlud seem to
besr a memory for me. Besides, sir, we bate
Just been out to tbe cemeterv try iug to find
;ravo of an old comrade of miue who tell
io second day’s battle not three miles from
here.”
Were you successful?”
So, sfr. Our cemeteries are not as well
kept as they might be. During those times
the living could scarcely take care of them
selves. t hen who can blame them II a hur
ried burial was all they granted the dead. «o
many unmaiked graves lie in our quiet ceme
tery, sud yet in each sleeps one to some fond
l irlio dear, that even tne knowledge of his
,ve would bring peace. Yea, sir, by my own
Reeling for one, no Sith or bln of mine, I am
able to judge of the desolate heart of
many a mother, sister or friend.”
IIow was your comrade killed?’'
Like tnan7 another brave youth, doing hir
duty. All day the roar and r un of battle had
been arouud us. Being behind breastworks,
our particular portion of troops had, however,
suffered very little. Now ana then a comrade
would fall and be carried off. Yet,
somehow during that day the Idea of
death never seemed t j occur to either of u*.
I remember 'Joe’ (my comrade) had been
showing me his greatest tieuure ”
“His mother’s Bible, did you say. sir?”
No, sir. Joe was not that kind of saint. No,
sir. I’ve seen many a man who carried a Bible
in his breast pocket-good men, too, now
mind you—men you could count on in any
1 all dangers. Yet Joe wasn’t one of these,
you know, stranger, Providence has a queer
way of workiug? Joe tisd been dreaming, sud
dreaming of a way to 'turn jack’ in old sledge
—'seven up' I believe ye now call It-until Til
be eternally d-d II ho hadn't got so he could
do t every deal—honest, too. Now, mind you,
last waa the beauty of it. Now, as 1 was say
ing, he had just beguu to teach me, when a
stray bullet took him off. Talk of Providence!
stranger, can you see any Justice in
that? Letting a man inend four years
learning how to make an honest
living and then cut him off before
live.”
Making me agalu the marvel ot a military
salute, the old man faced about and left me
pondering over my item.
JAILER BIRDSONG SURPRISED*
Three Prisoners Make n Desperate At'
tempt to Escape from the Jail
Jailer Natt Birdsong came near losing yes
terday morning three priioncrs confined
the Jail, an l alio narrowly missed a murder?
ous attack on hlmtelf.
It ii a matter of inpreme congratulations
that the new jail Is almost ready for the recep
tion of tho prisoners. Under tbe present mis
erable arrangement, the Jailer, who Is com*
polled to sleep In the office of the Jail, Is
constant peril of being murdered In the night
by desperate prisoners locked up la cages that
are almost ready to fall of themselves. Eter*
nal vigilance U not only the price of liberty,
but in this Instance Is also the price of one'
life. But (or the exercise of this virtue Jailer
Blrdiong would have douotless been a deni
man yesterday momlng, and the county de
prived of three desperate character!.
In cell No. 2, on the !eft of the main corridor
f the Jail, John Stubbs. Bailey
Young and West Katterie have
been confined sine* their imprisonment.
Stubbs, especially, is known ass hard char
acter, and this room has always been an ob
ject of spsclsl surveillance. Ther that been
strange fatality connected with the cell,
each initanct tn eell No. 2.
Stubbs and Young are held on warrants for
larceny and katterie on ont for burglary.
Jailer Blrdiong did not retire until Me
Wednesday night. He was kept up until 1
o'clock looking after matters In the Jail, and
waa most of tbe time in the corridor near cell
No. 2. This fact probably averted the cscs|
and saved bl< own life. The prisoners eou^
not get to their work before nc retired, and
only a short luterval wu allowed between
ist time and the dawn of day.
Early yesterday morning about annrlse,
when Jailer Birdsong came ont of his office,
he passed down the corridor and discovers
in passing that cell that the upper portion of
the door had been nearlr chis
eled through, and that only
upp r half could have been removed,
and an escape afforded. Tho work hid nearly
•accomplished wb?n discovered, and was
so noiselessly that even the prisoners —
tho adjoining cell had not h ard It. A plai
had also been ripped from the fl wr which
prize open the door, end to murder the Jailer.
As soon as the work wu found out. Jailer
Birdsong summoned help, and removed th
prisoners to another cell. They knew nothlm
about It, and oonld offer* no explanation -
It. Btubbs and Katterie were transferred
the dungeon yesterday afternoon and mana
cled to the floor.
In the lurch of the cell that wu made after
ward*. Deputy Sheriff Jones found tn a knot
hole in tbe ceilings 40 penny nail that ha *
been filed on both edges until it resembled _
cold chisel. It wu a'most effective Instrument,
and was operated hr a small coll of bucket
