No words were ex- before Moore pulled out a revolver and began firing at the ap | proaching engineer. Four ehote me fired and chroniclers of the oc currence unite in saying that Mr. Dubose got out of th* way. None of the balls struck their mark,and Dubose got away with out being shot. The policeman in that precinct soon learned of the trouble and Sergeant White and Officer Crusselle arrested Moore. Later Patrolman C*»nn arrested Dubose. The latter was found in the office of bis attorney, Mr. Rob-; erts. He had sworn out a peace warrant for Moore. Mr' Moore stated to the efficers | at police headquarters that Dubose was a married man with one child and that it had come to his esr» that be was paying attention to his sixteen-year-old daughter, Katie, « It was on account *f this that the two men had words the day before, but there was nothing seri ous at that time. Dubose says that the matter is all a mistake, and that Mr. Moore did not underatand the circum stances. It seems *hat the whole affair will be satisfactorily ex plained, and the peace warrant withdrawn. Officer Conn ears that ho do 6 | not believe that Mr. Moore iut- nled to kill Dubose, as one of the balls from his pistol was found imbeded in a telegraph poie several feet above his head,—Atlanta Consti tution.

THURSDAY EVENING FEBRUARY. 22. 1894, Jill DELIVERY. Douglasville ha* a Good Sized Sensation. ELEVEN PRISONERS DECAMP Bat B*v*n Overhauled la the Sa- barbe. Jin Rutledge, th* ‘Green fain*de” naa Aaeif the Ab- Mat. Douglasville, Qa. February 22. At 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon the Douglas county jail was a victim to a wholesale delivery of its prison ers. There were fourteen inmates eleven of who escaped. Three refused to leave. It has been the custom of the jail er during the daytime to allow the prisoners the liberty of the main corridor, into which the different cells opened. The escape was made in almost an incredibly short time. The prisoners sawed a hole through the top of the corridor. When this was done nothing was between them and liberty save the feeble iron grating that protected the windows, which was also sawed. The prisoners were gone only a few moments when their absence was detected. At once the jailer with a large posse, started in hot pursuit. Seven of them were caught almost within th* city limits and were re manded to jail, after which the chase was renewed, but n? new captuies have been made. Probably the Jmost dangerous character who is yet at large is James Rutledge, who is extensively known asa “gr*en goods’* dealer. He was held under two indictments for forg ery and on* for cheating and swind ling. Much indignation exists among the citizens on account of the inferiority of th* jail. It cost $6,000 and was built thre* years ago. It is represent ed to be built of chilled steel and it wa# claimed that an escape was an impossibility. However, tikis makes the second time an escape has been effected by sawing the bare. BURKE IS DEMOCRATIC. W. L. MIMS RUMS AWAY AHRAD OF THE P 'PULIST CANDIDATE. Waynesboro.

Franz ffilczek And BilT.laH nspp»rt os March the First. Editor Hustlkm—On Thur* lay March Ist.the Franz Wilczek C* ce't Company, now making a tour of ths Country, will appear at the Opera House and give one of their m ignifi cent concer s, “They are under the management of Mr. R. E Johnson, formerly with Ovid Musin, and the head of the concert company, Franz Wilczk is pronounced by the press the superior even of Musin as a vio linist. lam of the opinion that this concert will surpass in its brilliancy anything of the kind we have ever had in fhis city. It was the original intention to give this groat musical entertainment under the auspices of St. Peters church. On account of Lent this can not be done. But th* Opera House management has determined to do nate its proportion of the proceeds of th* en ertainment to the building fun 1 of that chuich. So eveiy dollar invest ed in the purchase of a ticket, by any person, will be eqivalent to contri buting thrirty-three and a third pr cants to aid in putting the new Epis copal church under roof, which at least, should be done the comii g summer without fail. The completion of this church is one ot the enterprises of this city I feel a deep interest in seeing carried through, and I hopi the contribution mad* to the coming Concert will be followed by fur ther efforts iu the same direction, I have reason to know that the membership of this church is not financially able to complete this great work without aid, and I also have reason to feel assured that citizen* of all denominations, and others with no church afifi latione at all will agree with n e that the c unpletion of this church in our midst is an enterprise worthy of encouragement from all good citi zens, Very truly M A Nbvin.
