A Conyicr follows Example of Other Two JNO DAVIS THIS TIME Ho Had Only Eight Months to Serve In the Penitentiary and Had Been in the Hospital for Two Months. Monday two Federal prisoners escaped from the State prison and they act a nexample for their fellow prisoners.

Thi orning about the same hour and ne manner another convict his escape. i nis morning a squad of ten convicts were carried" to the garden. Just south of the stockade to dig potatoes. This garden embraces about 40 or 50 acres, and the gardener is an old man na Ponton. The squad was in charge of a guard named Steel.

In the squad of convicts was a negro boy named John Davis. The men had been working only a short while when Davis suddenly made a break. Ponton, the gardener, was in- the field and he whipped out his pistol and fired on the running negro. The guard also flreiLthree times with his rifle. He got only one good clear shot at the man, however, and he Is confident that he hit the mark then.

When the guard fired that time the negro stumbled and slapped his hand on his thigh, and disappeared In Rocky branch bottom. This happened about nine o'clock, and guards have been searching in vain for him ever since. Warden Tom Russell immediately telegraphed to Captain Bradshaw to send him his blood hounds and they will be put on the trail this afternoon. Mr. Russell thinks that lie can get the man when the dogs come as he is quite sure that he was wounded.

John Davis is a negro boy about eighteen or twenty years old. He arrived at the State prison a little more than two months ago to serve a sen-tem of ten months for larceny. Davis sent up from Wilson county. Since Davis arrived he has spent two months in the hospital, and had only eight months to serve. Davis was released from the prison hospital only a few days ago and this was about the first time he had been nut to work since he assumed convict garb.

A REASONING SEAL. The New York Sun tells the following concerning one of the musical seals in Cant. Woodward's only school of trained Alaska sea lions and seals, which will appear In Raleigh, N. on Monday, October 31. with the Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' America's Greatest Shows Consolidat ed.

"In the curious display of trained seals and sea lions here, there is one incident that is formance their trainer feeds whole raw fish to them. All of them look sleek and fat, but they eat as if this were their only meal for the day. One lion in particular gets more than hlB share of the food, owing to his skill at catching whatever is thrown to him. The chief sufferer by his greediness is a little seal who Is at the further side of the lion from the trainer, and who holds a banjo from which his fin thrums the 'open' tones. He has a full minute of his musical effort, but when ordered to play to another animal's singing refuses flatly.

Repeated urging only brings from him lusty barking for more food. Finally the trainer goes to the tub from which he tok the fish and places it before his recalcitrant musician. The latter puts his head down Info it, carefully looks It all over, and the second that he raises his head begins twanging the banjo strings, as if entirely satisfied that the reason for his not having more to eat is because there is nothing left." MARRIAGE LAST EVENING. Mr. Geo.

E. Lougee, and Miss Mol-lie Graham Malone Wed. Durham Herald. Quite a number of the intimate friends und relatives of Mr. Geo.

Wilsoi: Given a Heariiig HER BOND $150 A Soldier Found Cat--The Affair Soldier Smashes the fl lass Iq Front Mayor pro tern Powell had a rather lively docket in the police court this morning. The soldiers were paid off yesterday and this contributed to Bome extent to the merriment of night, al though it is due the men to state that as a whole they were very gentlemanly and well behaved in spite of the "fact that a few loose dollars were jingling In their pockets. The first offender was A.

B. Jackson of Company charged with breaking the glass in a front door In Eeast Raleigh. Mayor Powell fined him $5 and cost. Charlie and Moonie Perry, two negro boys, were arraigned on the charge of provoking a soldier to resist an officer. It seems that officer Woodall had the soldier under arrest going to the station house when these boys began yellin'g at the soldier and telling the officer to carry him on, whereupon the solder became unruly and gave the officer much trouble.

These two negroes consequently contributed each to the city treasury today. WILSON CASE. Mrs. M. L.

He said that Mrs. Wilson was complaining at supper and he told her that she had better stop drinking whiskey. After supper he heard Mr.

and Mrs. Wilson say something about a divorce, and Mr. Wilson say that ho would not back down and then a pistol shot. This Is a very unfortunate affair, deeply regretted by all the However, the only thing the Mayor could do was to send Mrs. Wilson on to ourt under a $150 bond.

The company is headed by the clever comedian, Chelso D. Pcruchi, and the winsome, pretty soubrette, Miss Ella Beldeni, who last year added fresh laurels to their well known career by the portrayal of Harry and Lucy, the two kids In a well known comedy. The Carleton Sisters are also added to their list together with Emlle Sub-ers a favorite black favored comedian, besides a company of sixteen finished actors and actresses.
