A good sized bunch of North Caro-lina editors passed through the city this week en route to New York to participate in the editorial conference which will be held tonight, to be fol-lowed tomorrow by a trip up the Hud-: son to Fsopus, the home of Judge Bar- j ker. It will be one of the pleasautest trips of the year for the protest). Prof. H. B. Craven, who was a mem-ber of the faculty of Greensboro Fe-male College last year, was here yes-; terday on his way to Wilson to become principal of the graded school In that place. He and his family have been spending the summer at Black Moun-tain. The latter are now visiting rel-atives at Trinity, Randolph county. The labor day celebration Monday was a decided success, uotwithstaud- j Ing the fact that rain fell Incessantly all morning, cutting out many Inter-esting features of the parade. Hon. 1!. 1!. Lacy, state treasurer, and Mr. W. M. Tlgbe, of this city, made admirable addresses to a large crowd at the court house. Application has been made at High Point for a franchise for an inter-urban traction company that proposes to build an electric line connecting i Greensboro, High Point, and Winston j and some of the intervening smaller I towns. Articles of incorporation are now in the hands of the secretary of state providing for a capital stock of $600,000, of which $300,000 is already j subscribed. 1 FATAL FALL FROM A TRAIN. Jailor May Assaulted by Six Desperate Prisoners Sunday Evening. The presence of mind of Mr. J. G. May, keeper of the county jail, pre-vented the escape of six desperate long-term prisoners Sunday evening. About 7 o'clock Mr. May started iuto the lower corridor of the jail to make his regular evening inspection and had scarcely swung the big outer door half open when he was seized by Charles Donnell, Alouzo Collins, Will Murchi- BOD and John Steel, all negroes, who were awaiting transportation to Ral-eigh the following morning to serve long terms for burglary. Before Mr. May could make any outcry he was felled to the floor by a blow on the side") of his head by one of the men, whom it was difficult to identify in the semi-darkness, and choked into uncon-sciousness. Fortunately the key to the outer door, which he held in his hand, til underneath him unnoticed by any one of the prisoners. Two white pris-oners, C. C. Curtis anil Charles Ford, also penitentiary prisoners, who were lurking in the corridor, rushed with the others to the outer door only to liud it locked. In the meantime Mr. May's little daughter, who happened to see 1 him start into the cell corridor as well as the attack of the men, gave an alarm, which was heard by Mr. May's son Gannon and Mr. 1 Cox, a driver at the steamer headquar-ters across the street. They ran over to the jail, also finding the outer door lucked, thus preventing them from rendering any assistance w hatever. Mr. May 011 recovering consciousness was confronted with his own revolver in the hands of Donnell, who demand-ed the key to the outer door Mr. May told the men he did nut have the key and in fact diii nut know where it was and parleyed with them until he saw an opportunity to knock the weapon from Dounell's hand to the floor. In the scullle which ensued Mr. May se-cured the weapon and tossed it out through the grating of the window to w here his son and Mr. Vox were stand- ' ing in helpless expectancy of seeing him shot at any moment. Realizing thai lhey were foiled in their elt'orts to escape the men soon returned to their cells. An examination of the jail ' showed that a bar from a sink in the inner corridor had been used to prize a heavy brass padlock from the door com-municating with the main corridor. Curtis, one of the white men, had se-cured the bar and planned the escape. He had, according to the other prison- : era who had taken no hand in the af-fair, lirst failed to prize a bar from' a window grating which bad been cut half in two some months ago. It is to j the credit of George Babcock, a white prisoner, and Green McAdoo, the colo-1 red wife-murderer under sentence of thirty years, that they remained in ineir cells while liberty seemed al-most within their reach, making no attempt whatever to escape. Johnson Stroud, colored, who is also held for murder, and three white men awaiting 1: ml or serving light sentences, appar- : ently had no hand in the affair. They all refused to talk, however, until the six men had been removed from the jail the next morning. The problem of holding prisoners after their arrest naturally gives the county commis-sioners anil sheriff much concern. Only last week extensive repairs were made in the jail, following the escape of four youthful prisoners who slipped through holes in'the bars made some time before, and it seems that it will eventually be necessary to have the place under guard continually. What was supposed to be one of the strongest jail structures in the state turns out to be less secure than the old structure that it.superseded. On their return from the Asheville reunion Commander Whitted and Ad-jutant Wood were enthusiastic in their praise of the showing made by the! members of Guilford camp in the pa-rade of veterans. In addition to the] honor of being the largest camp in the line the old vets from here made de-1 cidedly the best showing and were given i|uile an ovation when they ap-peared with canes bearing handsome , little battle Hags. Of the 104 men present 102 were in the parade, the on-, ly exceptions being Messrs. J. W. Mc-1 Nairy and John W. W barton, of this city, both of whom sacrificed a leg in I the service. Guilford camp is to be, congratulated on the admirable con-1 duct of its members while on the trip. ■ Young Georgia Soldier Meets Death in the Railroad Yards Here Sunday. The breaking of a coupling of an extra northbound passenger train here Sunday afternoon about three o'clock caused the death of Private Frank H. Lester, of Co. L, Fourth Georgia In-fantry. The unfortunate young man was standing on a platform of the train, which was being shifted to the pass track leading to Sergeant's foun-dry to clear for No. 97, the fast mail, when the coupling broke, the jar caus-ing him to fall to the tracks, where he was crushed by the front trucks of the slowly moving car. From the hips down he was terribly mangled, while his head and face were badly cut and bruised. The regimental surgeon who attended him readily saw that his con-dition was hopeless, but had him transferred to the Greensboro hospital, where death resulted in about an hour. Mr. Lester was au excelleut young man and stood high In the esteem of his comrades, who were much affected by his untimely death. He was a member of a prominent Americus, Ga., family and is survived by his parents and two brothers. He was a clerk in one of the leading business houses of AmeriCUS and a member in good stand-ing of the Methodist church of that place. Lieutenant A. Fort, Jr., and Private C. A. Smith, of the Fourth In-fantry, and Private T. B. Hhipp, of the Hospital Corps, were detailed to escort the remains home, and they left here with the body at 7 o'clock that even-ing. The train bearing the command proceeded on its way toManassas, Va., after an hour's delay. Geo. A. Harrington Acquitted. After a spirited legal battleinvolving some of the best talent of the Guilford bar and occupying two days of thespe-cial term of criminal court a jury of (ieo. A. Harrington's peers declared him not guilty of burglary and at-tempted criminal assault on Mrs. Alice V <:'rarter, of High Point, in May of tiiis year. From a special venire of one hundred men Messrs. R. M. (iret-ter, X. T. Pegram, B. G. Chilcutt, J. W. Webb, J. H. Clapp, I). F. Causey, L. E. Howerton, W. II. Elliott, J. G. Hackett, William Dennis. A.*!'. Wat-lington and J. D. How man were se-lected as jurymen. The evidence went to show that some one entered the 100111 of Mrs. Charter on the night of May 35, but the intruder was frighten-ed away by her screams, she having waked as the bed clothing was being pulled away fiom her. She is confi-dent her unwelcome visitor was Har-rington,, although theie was no light in the room other than that afforded by the moon, which was shining in through a portion of an open window. The whole case seemed to hinge on the mailer of identification, and thejury evidently gave Harrington the beuelit of the doubt. Before the adjournment of court Sat-urday heavy lines were imposed on several keepers of disorderly houses who had been convicted during the term, and they were also ordered to leave the state. GREENSBORO TOBACCO MARKET. ('apt. W. it. Jenkins has finished the macadam work on the road to Ala-mance church and moved his outfit to the Battle Ground road, locating the crusher near Kirkpatrick's brickyard. Nearly live miles of macadam were laid on the Alamance road, which, in addition to the two miles previously laid, give the people of southeastern Guilford the advantage of a seven-mile haul over a first-class road. The road-way is thirty feet wide, with a ten-foot strip of macadam along the upperside. The Battle Ground road will lie thirty-six feet wide, w ith a twelve-foot strip of macadam in the center, thus giving room for a good dirt road on either side. What little grading is necessary on this road will be done by the macadamis-ing force. The state convicts at work grading the road east are making good headway and will probably finish within the next mouth. Special Notice. I wish to close up my business at Stokesdale by the Hist day of Novem-her. All persons indebted to me are requested to make settlement on or be-fore that date. 3-i-it. J. J. HILTON, M. D. Several hundred people, including the city authorities, witnessed a test of the new LaFrauce lire engine at the city hall Monday evening. Mr. Asa LaFrauce, who sold and tested the old engine here twenty years ago. was again in charge of the test Monday, handling the engine with the greatest ease and efficiency. Various tests of the capacity of the engine were made ami it measured up to expectations in every way. The old engine will be scut back to the factory soon ami thor-oughly overhauled. It will be kept hi reserve at the steamer headquarters and will yet perform many years of good service. Fou SALE—A storehouse in a thriv-ing school village. Address, G. W. Duveupoit, Waittc'.t, N. U. MARKET KKPORT. The receipts on our market for the past week have been the largest for any week during the new crop. Prim-ings are coming in from all sections and we are having good sales almost every day, and while they are not very desirable, yet they are good euough to command good prices und farmers are highly pleased with their sales. Our market is quite anxious for this class of tobacco, and all our buyers are buy-ing them freely, which keeps the price fully up to the high water mark, and farmers in this section are beginning to find it out. We shall be pleased to have your primings as long as you have them, and this market will also be very active on all tobacco through-out the entire season. We want your tobacco this year, and we feel that if you will give u- a trial we will have no trouble in pleasing you. F. B. Sheppard, B. S. Madden, J. C. Ingle and J. X. Lowe were among our good Alamance frieuds who were here during the past week with primings. W. T. Jessup, of Hamburg, was here last week with printings and well pleased. He is a fisherman as well as a farmer and it always makes the writer fish hungry to call a Jessup's name. Lev] Walker, one of Guilford's best farmers and a brother of our beloved townsman Jno. M. Walker, was here with primings last week and will be back-in a few days with another load. S. T. Price, E. C. Friddle. .I.e. Frid-dle. Lee Angel, W. II. Daniel. J. J.

Brookbank, Henry Beese, W. B. Anthony, J. W. Underwood, W. L. Miles, H. D. Hel-ium, L. E. Montgomery, J. E. Black-burn and L. A.

A Randolph man named Bobbins, who came here Monday to make some purchases, was found unconscious in the Southern Railway yards several hundred yards east of the depot yester-day morning about two o'clock, his jaw having been broken and numerous other injuries indicted in a manner that is yet unexplained. One theory is that he was struck by a train and another is that he was beaten and robbed of several dollars, his assailants leaving him by the track in order to avert suspicion. Dr. Broadnax,* the railroad surgeon at this point, dressed the man's wounds and he was later sent to the Greensboro hospital. Rev. T. J. Ogburn, secretary of the foreign missionary board of the Meth-odist Protestant church, has found it ' necessary to change his residence from Greensboro to Sheradeuville, Pa., and will leave in a few weeks. He will take only his wife and the younger members of his family. His older daughters, Misses l-.llen and Cary, who are teachers, will remain in North Car-olina. His son Herbert, who has been with the Odell Company here for two years, will resume his studies at Oak Ridge Institute, and another sou, Thomas, will return to the A. A M. College, at Raleigh. Six more prisoners were sent to the county road* Monday, after failing to 'raise lines imposed in Superior court ; last week. The city contributed sev-eral good hands to the road force dur-ing the week, also. City National Bank Greensboro, N. C. CAPITAL, - - - $100,000 SURPLUS AND PROFITS, 16,000 United Stales Depository.

Jailor May Assaulted by Six Desperate Prisoners Sunday Evening. The presence of mind of Mr. J. G. May, keeper of the county jail, pre-vented the escape of six desperate long-term prisoners Sunday evening. About 7 o'clock Mr. May started iuto the lower corridor of the jail to make his regular evening inspection and had scarcely swung the big outer door half open when he was seized by Charles Donnell, Alouzo Collins, Will Murchi- BOD and John Steel, all negroes, who were awaiting transportation to Ral-eigh the following morning to serve long terms for burglary. Before Mr. May could make any outcry he was felled to the floor by a blow on the side") of his head by one of the men, whom it was difficult to identify in the semi-darkness, and choked into uncon-sciousness. Fortunately the key to the outer door, which he held in his hand, til underneath him unnoticed by any one of the prisoners. Two white pris-oners, C. C. Curtis anil Charles Ford, also penitentiary prisoners, who were lurking in the corridor, rushed with the others to the outer door only to liud it locked. In the meantime Mr. May's little daughter, who happened to see 1 him start into the cell corridor as well as the attack of the men, gave an alarm, which was heard by Mr. May's son Gannon and Mr. 1 Cox, a driver at the steamer headquar-ters across the street. They ran over to the jail, also finding the outer door lucked, thus preventing them from rendering any assistance w hatever. Mr. May 011 recovering consciousness was confronted with his own revolver in the hands of Donnell, who demand-ed the key to the outer door Mr. May told the men he did nut have the key and in fact diii nut know where it was and parleyed with them until he saw an opportunity to knock the weapon from Dounell's hand to the floor. In the scullle which ensued Mr. May se-cured the weapon and tossed it out through the grating of the window to w here his son and Mr. Vox were stand- ' ing in helpless expectancy of seeing him shot at any moment. Realizing thai lhey were foiled in their elt'orts to escape the men soon returned to their cells. An examination of the jail ' showed that a bar from a sink in the inner corridor had been used to prize a heavy brass padlock from the door com-municating with the main corridor. Curtis, one of the white men, had se-cured the bar and planned the escape. He had, according to the other prison- : era who had taken no hand in the af-fair, lirst failed to prize a bar from' a window grating which bad been cut half in two some months ago. It is to j the credit of George Babcock, a white prisoner, and Green McAdoo, the colo-1 red wife-murderer under sentence of thirty years, that they remained in ineir cells while liberty seemed al-most within their reach, making no attempt whatever to escape. Johnson Stroud, colored, who is also held for murder, and three white men awaiting 1: ml or serving light sentences, appar- : ently had no hand in the affair. They all refused to talk, however, until the six men had been removed from the jail the next morning. The problem of holding prisoners after their arrest naturally gives the county commis-sioners anil sheriff much concern. Only last week extensive repairs were made in the jail, following the escape of four youthful prisoners who slipped through holes in'the bars made some time before, and it seems that it will eventually be necessary to have the place under guard continually. What was supposed to be one of the strongest jail structures in the state turns out to be less secure than the old structure that it.superseded. On their return from the Asheville reunion Commander Whitted and Ad-jutant Wood were enthusiastic in their praise of the showing made by the! members of Guilford camp in the pa-rade of veterans. In addition to the] honor of being the largest camp in the line the old vets from here made de-1 cidedly the best showing and were given i|uile an ovation when they ap-peared with canes bearing handsome , little battle Hags. Of the 104 men present 102 were in the parade, the on-, ly exceptions being Messrs. J. W. Mc-1 Nairy and John W. W barton, of this city, both of whom sacrificed a leg in I the service. Guilford camp is to be, congratulated on the admirable con-1 duct of its members while on the trip. ■ Young Georgia Soldier Meets Death in the Railroad Yards Here Sunday. The breaking of a coupling of an extra northbound passenger train here Sunday afternoon about three o'clock caused the death of Private Frank H. Lester, of Co. L, Fourth Georgia In-fantry. The unfortunate young man was standing on a platform of the train, which was being shifted to the pass track leading to Sergeant's foun-dry to clear for No. 97, the fast mail, when the coupling broke, the jar caus-ing him to fall to the tracks, where he was crushed by the front trucks of the slowly moving car. From the hips down he was terribly mangled, while his head and face were badly cut and bruised. The regimental surgeon who attended him readily saw that his con-dition was hopeless, but had him transferred to the Greensboro hospital, where death resulted in about an hour. Mr. Lester was au excelleut young man and stood high In the esteem of his comrades, who were much affected by his untimely death. He was a member of a prominent Americus, Ga., family and is survived by his parents and two brothers. He was a clerk in one of the leading business houses of AmeriCUS and a member in good stand-ing of the Methodist church of that place. Lieutenant A. Fort, Jr., and Private C. A. Smith, of the Fourth In-fantry, and Private T. B. Hhipp, of the Hospital Corps, were detailed to escort the remains home, and they left here with the body at 7 o'clock that even-ing. The train bearing the command proceeded on its way toManassas, Va., after an hour's delay. Geo. A. Harrington Acquitted. After a spirited legal battleinvolving some of the best talent of the Guilford bar and occupying two days of thespe-cial term of criminal court a jury of (ieo. A. Harrington's peers declared him not guilty of burglary and at-tempted criminal assault on Mrs. Alice V <:'rarter, of High Point, in May of tiiis year. From a special venire of one hundred men Messrs. R. M. (iret-ter, X. T. Pegram, B. G. Chilcutt, J. W. Webb, J. H. Clapp, I). F. Causey, L. E. Howerton, W. II. Elliott, J. G. Hackett, William Dennis. A.*!'. Wat-lington and J. D. How man were se-lected as jurymen. The evidence went to show that some one entered the 100111 of Mrs. Charter on the night of May 35, but the intruder was frighten-ed away by her screams, she having waked as the bed clothing was being pulled away fiom her. She is confi-dent her unwelcome visitor was Har-rington,, although theie was no light in the room other than that afforded by the moon, which was shining in through a portion of an open window. The whole case seemed to hinge on the mailer of identification, and thejury evidently gave Harrington the beuelit of the doubt. Before the adjournment of court Sat-urday heavy lines were imposed on several keepers of disorderly houses who had been convicted during the term, and they were also ordered to leave the state. GREENSBORO TOBACCO MARKET. ('apt. W. it. Jenkins has finished the macadam work on the road to Ala-mance church and moved his outfit to the Battle Ground road, locating the crusher near Kirkpatrick's brickyard. Nearly live miles of macadam were laid on the Alamance road, which, in addition to the two miles previously laid, give the people of southeastern Guilford the advantage of a seven-mile haul over a first-class road. The road-way is thirty feet wide, with a ten-foot strip of macadam along the upperside. The Battle Ground road will lie thirty-six feet wide, w ith a twelve-foot strip of macadam in the center, thus giving room for a good dirt road on either side. What little grading is necessary on this road will be done by the macadamis-ing force. The state convicts at work grading the road east are making good headway and will probably finish within the next mouth. Special Notice. I wish to close up my business at Stokesdale by the Hist day of Novem-her. All persons indebted to me are requested to make settlement on or be-fore that date. 3-i-it. J. J. HILTON, M. D.

A Randolph man named Bobbins, who came here Monday to make some purchases, was found unconscious in the Southern Railway yards several hundred yards east of the depot yester-day morning about two o'clock, his jaw having been broken and numerous other injuries indicted in a manner that is yet unexplained. One theory is that he was struck by a train and another is that he was beaten and robbed of several dollars, his assailants leaving him by the track in order to avert suspicion. Dr. Broadnax,* the railroad surgeon at this point, dressed the man's wounds and he was later sent to the Greensboro hospital. Rev. T. J. Ogburn, secretary of the foreign missionary board of the Meth-odist Protestant church, has found it ' necessary to change his residence from Greensboro to Sheradeuville, Pa., and will leave in a few weeks. He will take only his wife and the younger members of his family. His older daughters, Misses l-.llen and Cary, who are teachers, will remain in North Car-olina.
