GAILLARD's DESPERATE STRUGOLE WITH A PRISONER AT TEMPTING To ESCAPE-A WELL LAID PLAN FOR LInERTY AND How IT WAs DEFEATED--GOOD CONDUCT OF A COL.oRED "TRUs TY." At the Greenville jail the priso nors are allowed the freedom of the hall-ways until the big iron doors at the ends are to be opened. Then all prisoners wore ordered to their cells and the cell doors are looked on thon simultaneously by turning a lover outside which throws bolts running along each side of the halls. Monday evening it became known that Victor Posey, a colored prisoner who had served a short term, was to be released yesterday morning, and Anderson Davis, who is awaiting trial for assault and battery, laid a plan for escape. Ho hung a blanket over the win dow of the hall-way to make it dark. Yesterday morning be tween 8 and 9 Mrs. A. D. Gaillard, jr., wife .of the jailor, went to the upper story where the colored pris onors are kept to release Posey, Mr. Gaillard boing absent at the time. She order3d all the mon from the hall except Posey and then had Jim Harrison, a colored "trusty" who is sorving a short sentonco and who she took up with her, turn the lover and lock the cell doors. Davis had lurked in the dark place at the rear of the hall and slipped bohmid the stovo in stead of going to his cell. Posey passed out and down the steps, Harrison going with him. As Mrs. Gaillard was closing tho door to the hall Davis made a quick rush. She saw him coming and tried to get tle heavy outer hasp over the staple, but lie was too fast. The door opens inward and Davis seized the bars and pulled it. open with all his power. Mrs. Gaillard is as brave and nervy a woman as lives. She swung on to the door and pulled it shut. Davis is a stout, thick set fellow and had all 'the advantage of leverage on his side. He braced his feet against the inner facing and tugged desperately. He got the door half open half a dozen times, but Mrs. Gaillard pulled it shut again every time. Each struggle is marked on her right are, for she was crowded close up against the corner of the stone wall, and whenever she wvas pulled forward the skin and flesh on that arm were torn and bruised. It was not a long struggle, but it was a ha'rd and desperate one. Mrs. Gaillard called to her father-in law, A. D. Gaillard, sr., who was down stairs, to bring a p)istol. She says she wvould have used it and there is no doubt she would for she has steady eyes in which there is no suggestion of being afraid of anything. Mr. Gaillard hoard the call but did not under stand what was wanted and went half-way up the steps before he knew the pistol was wanted. He is old and can not move very fast, andl by the time ho got back with it the trouble was over. Jim Har rison, the "trusty" heard the noise and ran back up the stairs to Mrs. Gaililard's assistance. Meanwhile Bur t, the jailer's little son-a chip of the old blood evidently, had gathered and loaded his parlor ri flie and stationed himself on the stairs with the injunction to his mother to "lot him come" and Steve Howard had sung out from the window down stairs . to* John Forrest, a United States prisoner in the yard, who had improvised a clb and stationed himself at the lower door. So there was not the slightest chance for Davis to es cape. He had got one leg through the door, but Mrs. Gaillard and Harrison together pulled the door so hard on it that he presently weakened and sullenly bogged to be allowed to retnrn to his cell. They let him go, then, a sore, mad and disheartened jail bird, with his scheme for liberty spoiled. Mrs. Gaillard was going about her household work as usual yes terday evening with her injured arm wrapped in bandages and her nerves unshaken. And her hus band was the maddest - man this side of Columbia and the proudest man anywhare.-.mnAd beanan his. wife had boon hurt, and proul ho. cause she and the boy had shown such undaunted pluck.--Groonvillo News. A Greenville Fire. Monday last a short timo beforo 12 o'clock noon, the harsh, ruigged fire alarm sounded and the (u iot city was stirred from conter, the court house, to circumferenco, that is, the outlines of the corporato limits. The fire brigade headed for West street, now known as Highland avonue. A h u n d r e d voices called "central" and soon the telephono messago went over the wires that tho sash and blind factory of Gower & Dillard was burning. Tho mill is located at the corner of Echols stroot and Highland avenue. The firemen were prompt in ro sponding to the call and a stream of citizens followed tho machines. With the destruction of the mill, office and dry kiln, the flames leap od across the street or alley and attacked the tonoment houses ad joining, and four h o u s es were quickly destroyod.-G r o o n v ile News. Gov. Tillman moans to enforce the dispensary law as long as he is at the head of affairs in South Carolina. The law requires him to do so and he will discharge his duties no matter how much the whiskey organs may protest and the liquor men resist the oflicers. No friend of morality and so brioty can afford to countenance any resistance to the law. The civil authorities must be sustained and the iniquitous blind tigers put down. If the law is not all that is d sired by its friends it can be a mended as its defects appear. But it will never be stricken from the statute books until it has had a fair trial -and ths people are made to respect authority. Gov. Tillman will accomplish two things in enforcing the law. He will teach respect for authority and aid the cause of temperance too.-Abbeville Medium. . The Sotathern Mortgage. A PAPER FOR ONE HIUNDIED AND TWENTY MILLION DULY FILPID.

Thme muort gage is for $120,000,000 in favor. of the Central Trust Company of Now York. Gold bonds to run one hundred years at five pmor cenmt. were to be issued. The mortgage will be registoredl in 176 counities, through which the road runs. It contains over fifty thousand word1s and D~eputy Register J. L. Fauilk nor will require two weeks to copy it. No mortgage for as largo amount was over before made ini Tennessee. Mr. W. C.

A now inviutionl has just sprung imto 0existencie which will revo iltioniize the entire system of pro Polling cars by olectricity. It is somothing that has never been thought of hol'ore, and it comes fresli from tho hands of the inven tor. with millions to back it, and 1n0 stock for salEo. Next to tho ap plication of oloctrielty as a pro pelling agont, this new contrivance is one of the most important in voltions of the ago. 1R is a devico for operating sur face and elovatod cars by an un dorground and olectric system in dopendent of tho storago hattery or trolloy wiro. The system was rocently invent od by Mr. James F. McLaughlin, of Philadelphia, and a model has hoon sent to Atlanta for its first exhibition hoforo tho Street Rail way Association now inl session in this city. Mr. Georgo Lodge, of Phila(elphia, the genoral inaa ger of the syndicato contr'olling the patent., has the model in charge at the Kimball IHoIuse. Tih( now invention, which has sprung into the olectrical world like a brilliant imotoor, is yet with out a namo, 118 it has just left the h1and(ls of the i nven tor: but that it haw como to stay is a fIt that im prossos itself at a glance. it is a paragon of simnplicity. Its appli cation' requires no chango in pow or house, dynaios or motors on car's. Tho equipmient , weight is aboutlOO poun1ds, and is hiolted luidoineath the bottom of the car. The ad juniiict aitt ach ment is a conduit fas tonoid to tho top of th sloopei's in the centro of the roadhods, and to do this a sipaIco of only .eightoon inches in which has to 1o oxcava ted. The coniduit onco down tho onarrow spceI is ropaved, leaving nothing to bo soon but a flat and levol strip ono inch wide running along the top of the conduit paral li with tho tracks and oven with the stroot. Thoro is no slot or (ooniing, the stimp being coiposed of a series of flat iron rails, separ ate(l at, illtorvals b)y non-conduct ing Imateria ls. This is the entiro equipment. 'rio cuirr'ont of electricity is trans mitt'd f'romi the power house to the car thirough the condluctor' inl the conduit;, and any rates of speed f rem thme lowest mnedIium to ninety mlilels l a nour canh ho obtaimod at will. There is nothling to b)reak or' get out of' orer'l'; the cars will run b~ackwarid or forward, around sharpl'j cur1ves and~ acr'oss intersect ing tracks and1( cond~uits. Snow or ice has811 no ffect o1u the operating capacity of the~ system, and it is impossibI)le for al car to b)o derailed or thrown fr'om the track. The aplianlc(o combhines all the e moneits of traction, and propols up and down an inclino as smuoothly and easily as on a level stretch. The great virtue claimed f'or file system is ab~solulto safety.' The current of elctrIIic'ity is und(er por-~ fect conitro' l. Th~ cond~uctor in the condluit1 is so in1 sullatod and isolaited that it is impossible 'for any of the electr'ici ty whatever to oscapoS. 'The curronE 1 L only biecomnes an active force' when there is a con tact betw~een thle attachment fastened und1(er tihe car and the condluit, and this co'n be applied or remloved at the will of the me torman. Indleed this attachment, which is at p)rosent called the "controll or," is the oplerativo secret of the systom. Without the "controller" enough electricity could not be ox tr'actedI from the conduit to tickle on10's ton~gue. With all the cur r'ont dlosires for propelling -and lighting puirposos is obtained. It is attracting widespread inter est, and leading electricians are conlfidenit in) tho belief that the inivontion willI revolutionize the system of operating street cars, and meet with ~ready adoption throughout the country.--Augusta Chronicle of October the 10thi7 Carrier pigeons wvore in use among the Greeks as long ago as the Olympian games.
