ESCAPE FROM COUNTY Jill Attempted to Suffocate Jailor, Who Was Found Half Un conscious---Although Scent Was Strong, Bloodhounds Were Unable to Follow. (In a desperate struggle for news a reported sent out Friday morning to get some "real news” brought back the following): Bearing one of the worst criminal records of modern times, Cole Gass, a prisoner who has been confined for many years, effected a mysterious escape during the night from the Richmond County jail, very nearly causing the death of the jailor, who was found this morning in a semi conscious conidtion, lying in his bed. It is presumed that the escape was accomplished through a window which was found open in the jailor's room. Gass is well-known throughout tills country and Europe as one of the most dangerous and insidious mem bers of society, having been agent of a number of murders from time to time, and implicated in an even greater number of suicides. He was captured many years ago, and given a life sentence in the public works, since which time he has escaped per haps more times than any prisoner on record. Ten or fifteen years ago he was sentenced' to lie put to death by electricity, but it was later decid ed to retain him in the jail owing to his usefulness as a cook. It is probable that another escape, such as that of last night, will force the authorities to execute his death sentence. His name, by the way, can also be spelled Coal Gas. HOI COMING DAY AT ST. JOHN METHODIST Pastor Desires to See All of the Membership at Services on Sunday. On Sunday it will be "Home Coming Day” at St. John Methodist chureh. A large number is expected.

Manager George Stallings, pilot, of the Braves—the man who drove the Beaneaters to victory over Connie Mack. But, what's the use of going Into further details, for everyone knows George, at least, they have heard of him, and therefore, they are, of course, well ac quainted with the marvelous feat that he has put over. Well, to get hack to the starting place, George has accepted the invitation tendered through the M. & M., by his old school mates, to a “dollar dinner." Chief Stallings stated in his telegram of acceptance, that he would be simply delighted to gaze upon the faces of his friends of “long ago" once more, arid last but not least, the old Savannah river. When the dinner will he served, Is not definitely known as yet—that’s up to George. He stated that he would ad vise the M. & M. from New York, as to the date when he would arrive.

After having been postponed again and again since Beptember 20th, the case of the Cltv vs. William Johnson and Mrs. Effie Johnson, of 515, Campbell street, charged with selling liquor on Sunday, came before the recorder Fri day meaning. Charles Smith testified that In the forenoon of Holiday Beptember 20th, he went Into Mrs. Johnson's place „ n Campbell street and purchased a half pfnt flask of whiskey, giving Mrs. John- Hon the money; the name <lay In the afternoon he again entered the estab liehment and bought four bottles of 1 ear "In brown bottles." Mrs. John son took half a dollar from him on this occasion and gave him ten cents In change. Soon afterward* the house was raided by the police and a few bottles of beer were found on the premises, besides a large number of "empties." Mrs. Johnson, being apparently the head of the household, ants having he-n the who conducted the sales on Sep tember 20th, was fined $l5O snd costs or »o days In the Stockade. Her bus hand's case was dismissed. Mrs. Johnson was also bound over to answer a charge In the state courts of violating the prohibition law.

When Solesbee came out onto the sidewalk apparently drinking though not drunk! Officer Newsome told him thHt he had better go home. The policeman stated that defendant thereupon nursed him. When he attempted to arrest Solesbee the latter resisted, putting up a formid able fight In which he managed to wrench the club from the policeman's hands and strike him with ft over the head. The defendant’s plea of not guilty was based on his good character, but the judge refused to accept previous good conduct as an excuse for attacking an officer In the discharge of his duty. Me Imposed a sentence of $lO or 20 days for disorderly conduct, and SIOO or (to days on the charge of resisting sn officer. A further charge of aasault end bat tery has hear, entered by the police against Sobst.ce, for which he will be tried In the city court.

PATTON II si. paiil’s simon Field Secretary of the Fourth Province to Preach at the 11 O’clock Service on Sunday Morning. The* national convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which is now koliik on at Atlanta, is spreading its influence and inspiration through out the state, and a number of the leaders and specially eloquent speak ers will lie heard in oilier cities and towns besides Atlanta. St. Paul's Church, in this city, is fortunate in securing lie ltev. Robt. W. Patton, the field secretary of the fourth prov ince, who will preach at the 11 o'clock service and probably at the night ser vice also. Mr, Button is no stranger in Augusta, for he has been at tft. Faul’s a number of times in the past few years. He also took a leading part in the Laymen's Missionary Con ference which was held at Kt. John’s Church about a year ago, on which occasion he thrilled every one by his earnest addresses and his remarkable knowledge of the missionary work of the entire world. It is especially pleasing to the rector and to the men of St. Paul’s to have Mr. Patton with them at tills time, for they are planning to make an “Every Member Canvass” of their congregation on Sunday afternoon, October 25th. Mr. Patton has assist ed in many of these campaigns and Ills advice and counsel will be of great help to ttie men. All those who ex pect to take part in this work will liear Mr. Patton with special interest tomorrow morning and will also prob ably meet him in conference after the service or at some other convenient time. They also expect, to meet at the Parish Bouse on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock to perfect their planH. The public are cordially Invited to at tend the services tomorrow. The choir will sing a special program of music suited to the occasion. Another thing which makes the day of special interest at St. Paul’s Is the fact that It is the day for the Men’s Corporate Communion. The Brother hood of St. Andrew on the third Sun day of every month are accustomed to gather as a body at the early morning communion service and re ceive the Holy Communion together. Tomorrow is an especially appropriate time for this service, inasmuch as the brotherhood assembled in convention in Atlanta will also make their Cor porate Communion in accordance with their annual custom. This communion service is nlways a most inspiring sight, and at the convention In New York last fall two thousand men reeelved their com munion at 7 o'clock at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. HIGHEST RIVER SATURDAY P. I Correct Forecast Issued By Mr. Emigh on Special Rainfall Re ports Friday P. M. On special rainfall reports received Friday afternoon, Focal Forecaster E. I). Emigh Issued a special river fore cast for a stage of 25 feet at Augusta on Saturday. At noon the stage at the city wharf was 24 feet and the river rising about two Inches per hour. Mr. Emigh stated that the crest, he believed, would be reached sometime Saturday afternoon and that then the river would be apt to fall rapidly until it reached a comparatively low stage again six or seven feet. It will re main there, It Is said, unless there Is morn rain, as the ground now Is some what absorbent There Is no Indica tion of sny more rain at present. While the twenty-ftve foot river of Saturday covered some of the bottom lands In the Savannah river valley, It is believed that no damage has been done. The river forecast was Issued too late for the last edition Friday of The Herald, but word was sent out by Mr. Emigh to those who would benefit from It, telling them of the expected stage. Mr. Kmlgh uses The Herald ns a medium by which to notify farmers end cattlemen who would most likely be affected by high water. WILSON ENDORSES GERARD. New York.—A letter from [’resident Wilson to James W. Gerard, ambassa dor to Germany, endorsing his candi dacy for the United States senate, wus made public here today. Morning With the Recorder Well, the time has arrived vvhei silence is no longer golden. Perhaps it may Bo the tingle of frost in the air or the ozone or something, but people are certainly beginning to wake up and think of things to do. The court is no longer playing to empty benches as he has been doing. People's imaginations are being kindled. The desire to do evil is entering into them again and lighting up their faces with the old familiar radiance. Now you know that during the sul try summer months nobody would have conceived the idea of doing as follows: Two men, one white and one very nearly white, who apparently had met last night for the first time earlier *n the evening by bumping into each other on MeKinne street, proceeded on their ways together to do the town. The white man furnished the genius and guiding spirit for the campaign; the other was more in tho nature of faithful attendant, henchman an 1 page. To say that they were sober would be an exaggeration. The campaign consisted of making a round of calls. They progressed first up Walton Way, stopping at tin? houses, ringing the door bells, and in quiring gravely if the ladies were at home. Waiting for no response, the white man would then bow himself Into the house, luing up his hat, enter the parlor nr.d begin in the most an- SON OT DECEASED TREASURER TO FILL OUT TERM Mr. Walter E. Clark Elected By Bourd of Commissioners. Election For Successor to Late Treasurer on Third of November. Captain Geo. F. Lamback a Candidate.

Clark, son of the late treas urer, was unanimously chosen to fill the unexpired term, which ends on the first of January next. Mr. Walter A. Clark was re-elected last summer in the primary to serve as treasurer for the next two years. As the present term expires soon an election will have to be held within the near future and the county commission selected ftie third of November as the date, for the general state and nation al election will be held at that time. Captain Geo. F. Bam hack, com mander of Camp 48F> IT. C. V.. has an nounced for the position of treasurer and It is believed that he will be chos en. It is deemed most appropriate for one veteran to be succeeded By an other end inasmuch ns the people of this city and county will not have an opportunity to honor the veterans many years longer it is believed that Capt. lAm back will be elected over whelmingly,—and possibly without op position. Captain lAmbaek Is a high toned gentleman who Ims served as councilman from the first ward, arid who vi as city assessor tor two terms. Ko far there have been no other an nouncements.

Sapp, of the South Carolina legislature and former United States Senator J. L>. MoFtturln. proved manner to discourse upon the weather. Meanwhile his faithful esquire would stand In attendance at the front door. Naturally most of the Indies whose domiciles were thus In vaded were unable to think of much small talk. Their minds were rather more occupied with the exits. The conversation did not flow along as smoothly ns the visitor seemed to wish. In some eases he was asked politely to withdraw, and in some cases Impolitely. He always withdrew with thousandfold apologies and as surances that he had made a mistake. He seemed to have made a mistake in tile street. Three ladies appeared In court this morning In witness of his miscon duct. One stated that after he had been turned away from her house by her mother, he came by that way again while she Rnd her mother were sitting on the piazza, and that ho called out to her saying: "Hello, Klddo!” No special complaints wore made against tlm colored man. All agreed in saying that tie "opened not his mouth.” But us the silent partner shares in llio bankruptcy, so did he participate In the downfall of his knight, for the pair got SIOO or #0 days apiece. While taking In the sights of the city the judge thought It would be well for them not to miss the stockade. SWEDEN INDIGNANT AT GERMAN SEARCH Stockholm, (via London, 2:05 p. m.)
