Three Murderers Stujined in n Cleer

Aib&ay, N. T , Aug. 7. Three-murderers
made an unsucce-Kbful attempt to efenpe
from the Albany County jail last night.
Ttoey -were Charles E. Davis, who wurderde

Spain, of this city, who stabbed liis con to
death, and Charles N. Smith, -who killed
Theodore Itichtmeyer, or this city, for his
money.
The thre ;upied a cell ou the sec
ond floor of the jail. Sunday night War
den Thayer noticed that the cell cons
had been moved about, and ordered his
men to keep an extra lookout. They
were rewarded last night during the height
of a heavy rain storm.
The yard v ;iman, shortly before mid
night, was at cis post as usual, and 'was
surprised to see a rope made of strips
of blanket fall down alongside the wall.
He made an v .iHnation and round that
there was a hole in the wall of the cell
occupied by the murderers. He remained
at his station and gave an alarm.
The inside watchmen hurried to Mur
derers' How. The murderers, hearing
their footsteps, jumped In their cots and
appeared to lie asleep. They were made to
got out or their cots, which were removed
from beside the wall, and a hole large
enough to pass a man's body was brought
to view. The knotted blanket, secured to
a leg of one of the cots, was hanging on the
outside of the wall. The prisoners were
handcuffed and placed In the "hole" or
the jail.
The wall Is an old one. and It was but the
work of an hour for the men to make the
opening In It with the aid of an iron slat
taken from one of the cotB. The bricks,
which were removed one by one, were
placed under the cots.

Meetings of Various Organizations
to Consider Important Questions.
Electrical WorlcerH Are Hopeful That
Their Convention Will He Held
Here Cement Workers.
At a meeting of the convenUon com
mittee of the NaUonal BroUierhood of Elec
trical Workers, held at theirhall on Seventh
street Inst evening, Uie following mem
bers were present: R. F. Metzel, chair
man; Henry Phillips, John H. Lloyd, Wil
liam Watson, George A. Malone, and
Malchon Beaton.
A communication from the headquar
ters In St. Louis was read, stating that
the convention was almost an assured Uiing.
Another letter, from the local union No.
38, of Cleveland, Ohio, which staled that
they had unanimously voted for a conven
tion of electrical workers to bo held in
Washington, was read.
Up to the last meeting all eastern and
central unions had voted for a grand
convention to be held here, except St.
Louis, Chicago, and Milwaukee, these
wishing to have tho convention in the
West.
A vote for and against the concern ion
will 1-e given by members of the union of
lighting workers in September, and where
and when it will b held will be announced
officially in the Electrical Worker, the
union's journal, and The Times.
The report of the subscription list of
the local union was read and the amount
of contribu tions for the proposal convention
aggregates $325.
I twos also reported by commit! ecmenthnt
quite a number of merchants signify their
intention, if the convention is held here,
which is more than probable, of having
grand electric light displays.
A programme has not yet been ar
ranged, bat it is proposed on one night
during themeeting to have a gigantic torch
light procession, in which representa
tives of every trades' union will par
ticipate. Carpenters' Union, No. 1, K. of L., will
not march iu the procession on Labor Day
to the strains of a non-union band. Tho
union had a meeting last night and deter
mined that rather than take a non-union
band they would march without music.
SIMONS TWO C00SIMO NS
The union received five propositions for
membership, one of which is icr re-inttate-ment.
A committee was appointed to wait on
the Emerson Shoe Company, to determine
whether or not 1hcy are employing non
union laborers. Some or tho members ex
pressed tho opinion that, as the Emersons
seek the labor trade, they thould be fair
with the laboring classes in tho matter of
the employment or laborers.
Seventy members in good standing were
present last night at the meeting of the
Hon-eshoers' Union, K. of L., at No. 737
Seventh slieet northwest. This compauy
has been making rapid progress of late
under the following officers: Matthew J.
Foley, president; W. C. O'Connor, vice
president; W O. Jennings, recording sec
retary; M. J. Collins, financial secretary;
Thomas Gleason, corresponding secretary,
and Eugene Connor, sergennt-at-amis.
At the meeting Patrick Connelly was
elected marshal for the Labor Day parade
and John P. Collins assistant marshal. .
This ograuizaUon will be at the head
of the procession. They are now mak
ing arrangements for tho music or the oc
casion The Paper Hangers Association, K. or
L , met last night, a very large nmmr of
the members being present. Mr. W. J.
Johnson presided, Mr. C. A. Maidens being
secretary.
One new member was admitted. The as
sociation had along discussion ovortho com
ing Labor Day parade and decidedly unani
mously to be in the procession. The further
details or position inline, music, the marshal
and others will be determined at the next
meeting.
Cement Workers, L. A. 1173, K. or L.,
held a postponed meeting last night and
installed the rollowing officers: for the
ensuing term: M. W., Charles F. Hilton;
W. F, Philip Kropp; R. S., William
Saunders; T. S , Sterling Watson; treas
urer, Patrick Cratty.
They appointed a committee to call on
George W. Drew and if possible secure his
assent to a contract pledging him to hire
strictly union cement workers.
The new brewery to be built across the
river was mentioned aud it was hoped
that the cement work would be given to
union men.
It was stated that the contract commitec
of the FederaUon had that matter in
charge and would no doubt see that only
union labor should lxs employed on the con
struction of the brewery.
The next meeting of the Assembly will
lie held Wednesday next. A good at
tendance of members is requested at that
meeting, as business of importance will
come up.
At the semi-monthly meeting of the
Barbers' Assembly, K. of L., last evening
at Mechanics' Hall, after the transaction
of routine business the question of the
organization taking part in the celebra
tion or Labor Day was discussed.
It is the desire of the. members, if possi
ble, to be in line on that day, and everyUiing
that can will be done to accomplish this
purpose.
The following committee was appointed
to investigate and report at the next
meeting: Chairman, James R. Boyce;
Lewis Lambrick and Alexander R. Sher
man. Drowned Trying to SnvoIllHDaiiRhter.

ADMIRE THE FLEET COLUMBIA.
Franco UaH Ordered Two Duplicates
of Our Beautiful Numet-ulvO.
News has just reached the Navy Depart
ment that the French government has
shown its appreciation of the fine capa
bilities of the fleet cruiser Columbia by
ordering the immediate construction of two
vessels as nearly a duplicate of the famous
American flyer aB they can be made in the
absence of our exact plans.
They are to be known as "Cioiseurs Cor
snires," or pirate cruisers, and, notwith
standing the criticisms that have been
passed upon the Columbia because of her
light battery, these French cruisers will
have still smaller caliber guns, the largest
being but 0.5 inches, as against 8-inch
guns for the Columbia.

of Ignorant People of His Race.
William Henry Moore, a young colored
riim-flammer from the haunts of vice in
Jackson City, was locked up at No. 1 last
night by Policemen Schuyler and Herndon.
This rellow's victims wero mainly the
ignorant country negroes who attend
Center Market.
One of these, David Edelin, about seventy
five years of age, a resident or Fores tville,
Mil., will appear against the sharper in
police court to-day, the charge being ob
taining money under false pretenses.
His scheme is to make his victim produce
a piece or green money. This Jloorc places
In a handkerchief and manipulates it in
his hauds, rolling and rubbing it, at the
same time singing In a mouotone.
During tills manipulation the money Is
adroitly abstracted by the flim-flnmmer.
Then he places the handkerchief on anearby
barrel or box and requests his victim to
watch the empty rag until ho goes into
a neighboring saloon to get a bottle through
which he could look and see the under
hand work or his enemies, besides break
ing their charm. Or course he never comes
back.
Old man Edelin was swindled out or S3
by Moore, who claimed that one "long
green" would not make the charm work.
The old fellow the second time placed a
$2 bill in with his $1.
When searched at the station the pris
oner's pockets were found full of Alex

Jackson City policy slips.

allows when the captain wishes it. A
receipt signed by Hayden as port warden

to seeing Hayden sign it. As there seems to
be no law on the Virginia statute books
exactly covering the case, the justice held
that Hayden wa guilty of petit larceny and
fined him $5 and costs. Besides this be
must return the money to the captains of
the vessels.
