Three prisoners escaped from our county jail last Friday night by sawing off a bar in one of the upper windows. A white man named Lickliter awaiting trial for forgery, and two negroes, serving a sentence in the chain gang, were the persons. It is said tHat the prisoners in the chain gang contemplated an escape last week while at work by knocking Superintendent Geo. A. Hutcheson in the head, taking from him the keys which fit the locks with which the ball and chain are secured, and thus free them selves. The plan miscarried on account of one of the gang giving away the scheme.

On the break ing of the dashboard on the wagon Mr. Heve ner was thrown from the seat and knocked unconscious. It is supposed that his wife aud child were also pitched from the seat. The child was found badly hurt, at first sup posed to be dead, near where Mr. Hevener was thrown. Mrs. Hevener's foot was caught in a strop about the swivel trees with her body thrown on the ground. The horses ran near a quarter of a mile with her body thus, when getting out of the road near where Mr. I Cook hve3 the wagon caught on a stump and was turned over.

Allen, Esq., Mayor of Basic City I Va., committed suicide this morning, at a lit tle of 7 o'clock, in his office, by shooting him self through the head with a pistol. Almost I instantanious death is thought to have fol- I lowed the shooting. Mr. Allen was one of the judges of election yesterday, and late in the evening complained lof feeling badly, asking Mr. James Coyner I another judge, to relieve him of the duty of I assisting people with their ballots. He con- I tinued to act as judge however, till the polls I were closed and the vote was counted. No I other cause than financial embarrassment I coupled with tire election excitement can be I found for this rash act. | Mr. Allen came to this place in 1890 from I Nelson county, and at once become thorough- I identified with the place. During the last five J years he has held office of some sort or other 1 without intermission. Twice elected Justice lof the Peace, once elected Secretary and I Treasurer of Basic City, and last May lie was I elected Mayor by a very large majority.

He was a devoted member of the I Presbyterian church, and an officer in the' [same. He was also a member of Basic City I Lodge No. 29 I. O. 0. F. and heldihe office of I treasurer of the lodge. Our people will miss Mr. Allen very much | He was at all times a defender of Basic City, I and became intensely interested in every movement looking to the upbuilding of the town. A coroner's inquest was held, over the re mains this morning, and while the most dili- I gent inquiry was made as to the cause of the I suicide, as well as to other particulars, yet' I nothing definite could be learned.

It is more wide-spread than any other dis- | ease, and, very nearly, more dangerous. One thing that makes it so dangerous is that ; it is so little understand. If it were better understood, it would be j more feared, more easily cured, less universal i than it is now. So, those who wish to be cured, take Shaker | Digestive Cordial, because it goes to the root of the trouble as no other medicine does. The j pure, harmless, curative herbs and plants, of I which it is composed, are what render it so j certain and, at the same time, so gentle a It helps aud strengthens the stomach, i purifies and tones up the system.

In Virginia eight Democratic Congressmen are elected and probably nine Yost is certainty elected, but whilst the Republicans claim Gen. Walker's election by a the result is not certainty known. The State gives Bryan a majority of about 25,000. ||The slump in Augusta was the greaiest sur prise of tne campaign and took her out of the column of banner counties. fflNews from West Virginia bearing on the local elections is unobtainable. It is probable that in the eastern portion of the State, the Democrats have held their own, and have re elected Judge A. N. Campbell to his seat in the Circuit court bench, and E. I. Holt to the Senate from the same district, which includes i;ies of Pocahontas, Greenbrier, Mou rners and Fayette, the Republicans ainated some negroes in Fayette, used democratic gains, but the State probably goue for the Republican 1 national ticket, nd gave a majority of 21 for Flood, 1 Ige, 000 for Yost.

The apple is such a common fruit that very persons are familiar with its Biarkably efficacious medicinal pro ties, states The Bulletin of Phar cy. Everybody ought to know that the very best thing he can do is to eat apples just before retiring for the night. Persons uninitiated in- the mysteries of the fruit are liable to throw up their hands in horror at the vision of dyspepsia which such a sug gestion may summon up, but no harm can come even to a delicate system by the eating of ripe and juicy apples just before going to bed. The apple is excellent brain food, be cause it has more phosphoric acid iv Biy digested shapethan other fruit?. seites the actiorrof the liver, pro es sound and healthy sleep and •jughly disinfects the mouth. This at all. The apple helps the kidney secretions and . prevents calculus growths while it obviates indigestion aud is one of the best known preven tives of disease of the throat. Every body should be familiar with such knowledge. v Staunton Markets. Spectator offici>. STAUNTON, VA., Nov. 3d, 1896. Oountrv Produce.

RESULT OF USING AYER'S^PILLS "Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty years have kept me in good health, "lever haying had a sick day in all that time. Before I was twenty I suffered almost continually—as a result of con stipation — from dyspepsia, - headaches, neuralgia, or hoils and other eruptive diseases. When I became convinced that nine-tenths of my troubles were caused by constipation, I began the use of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac tory results, never having a single attack that did not readily yield to this remedy. My wife, who had been an invalid for years, also began to use Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly restored. With my children I had no ticed that nearly all their ailments were preceded by constipation, and I soon had the pleasure of knowing that with | [children as with parents, Ayer's Pills, if. taken in season, avert all danger ol sickness."—H.
