Two Prisoners Try to Bum Their Way to Liberty?Caught by Watchfulness Sheriff Buford. There was an attempt at jail de livery by means of incendiary fire on \ Monday night. The fire and the plot were discovered in an unusual and peculiar way by Sheriff Buford. He was reading in his room at 9 o'clock when his daughter called his attention I to a few drops of water falling from i above. The sheriff knew ther^ was; something out of the ordinary run going on and he jumped immediately to the investigation. On going upstairs he found out the cause, and thwarted j a scheme which, if it had been carried 1 out successfully, would doubtless! have,: resulted in a very serious fire and per- j haps loss of life in the sheriff's family' as the fir? under strong headway in j " * ' *- -L*- - t-i 1 . i 1 tne late nours 01 me nigm wouia nave; been unmanageable from its d: fficult | location. But the dripping of several' drops of water saved a conflagration.! The drops came from the water used! by the prisoners in pouring cn the, outer edge of the fire to prevent its I spreading. The two prisoners con-; cerned in the attempt were Coley Sheppard and Gary Sanders, who had besn | jailed recently for robbery ol.' the j stores of J. A. Senn and P. B. Hutchinson. They were on the second floor, Sheriff Buford having given them some coal to keep a fire in the stove, Sanders waiting on Sheppard, who, it j will be remembered, had been shot in tne leg wmie resisting arrest aij the hands of Policeman Berley. When Sheriff Buford reached up-, stairs he found that the negroes had flattened a joint of stove pipe and put it against the wall of the wooden en- j closure, making a fire in it, intending j to burn a hole through so as to es-1 cape. The fire was beginning to get1 in its work when the sheriff discover- i ed it and ended the well laid plans ! of the prisoners. As they had screen- j ed the fire from outside observation j their attempt would no douot nave j been successful but for the dripping . of the little drops of water. i i???? Additional Subscriptions.

Winslow,- of the United ( States department of good roads, was 1 in the city last Saturday on his an- < nual inspection tour of the roads which ( had been erected under the direction j of the government. He walked out to ? the mile of good road near Mr. J. C. t Neel's and says that the road is in a '< hotter condition than he expected, es pecially is this true of the culverts or | c drains, but these needed a little at- 1 tention which would cost very little j < time and money now, and which if not * given immediate attention will. prob-j* ably cost a good deal to repair. This: 3 suggestion of Mr. Winslow's is re- < ferred to Mr. Xeel and the supervisor, j i Mr. Winslow was very anxious to have !? a conference with the supervisor, but ( as he had only a few hours in the city j ? and the supervisor was not ir; town, j c he did not have the privilege of talk-, s I ing with him. > The Herald and News, 1 year, $1.501! \ NEWBERRY CHAUTAUQUA. Contract Closed.?Will be Held Beginning June 23 One Week.?The Attractions. The Newberry Chautauqua association held a meeting about two months | ago, reorganized for the coming chau- j tauqua season, and authorized its ad-; visory committee to arrange for a pro- | gram this summer. This committee has held several important meetings, and has extensively! investigated different talent and pro- j grams. On Wednesday of this week j a contract was closed with the Chau- j tauqua Managers association of Chic-. ago for an exceedingly strong and! popular program lasting from Sunday June 23 to Saturday June 29th. The talent for this Chautauqua is the same as will he used in the chauc r?Viin Tllinr?i? TCpriSfls flTlfi iau4uao V*A*V, other western States where the chau-j tauqua movement is making such per-1 manent headway, and the committee l secured the attractions at Ue same, prices that they will be sold for in the! larger chautauquas. Most of the num- j hers are bought under a contract that j permits three programs each day, and it is altogether likely that our June rtVioii+onniiA will Ha arranged with a three program per day plan. The skeleton program is as follows: C. H. Patterson, platform manager and two lectures, The Castle Square Quartette for two days (three programs a day if desired), Capt, R. P. Hobson, one lecture, Mrs. Cole, one; lecture, Col. Geo. W. Bain, one lecture, j Robert Paiker Miles, one lecture, Brush, magician, The Chicago Ladies Orchestra, (two programs), Dolly Randolph, three days with three programs a day. All these attractions come with the highest and strongest press and personal recommendations, and we are not trying to unduly advertise the Chautauqua when we say that we are pleased with the arrangement that has been made, and that from June 23rd to June 29th we are expecting a much j bigger thing in the way of a Chautauqua than we had last year, and that each of these days will be filled with three strong programs.
