BE ESCAPES FROM THE ALEXANDRIA JAIL. AT AN Billy Williams escaped from the Alexandria jail about 1:15 o'clock this morning. He was confined 10 the room used in times wheu men could be im- Prisoned on civil process for debt. The room faces South, looks into the jail yard and ts secured by frou barsat the windows, and has served lately for the confinement of prisoners awaiting trial. Four men were imprisoned there last night: Billy Williams; Jewell, chargea with stealing a horse from W. A. Smoot, and two other men charged with housebreaking in Alexandria County. Whenever there ts a prisoner in jail charged with serfous crime, city Sergeant W. H. Smith employs a special watchman for the corridors inside. Mr. Samuel Arnold was thus employed as long as Curran was in jail, and on the arrest of “Billy” Williams he was re-employed in the same watch, and wason duty last night. He states that shortly before 1 o’ciock Unis morn- ing he looked in on Willlams and bis feliow prison- ers and 3: nothing wrong. Soon afterward he heard the barking of a smail dog, which had been Kept in the room with Williams, and on Ing to the room he found a hole under the window and all the prisoners gone. He hurried to the yard and the at all the escaped men except Wil- jams. H® had alreaay been helped by them over ‘the wall, and they were preparing to follow; but Arnoid, with his pistol, drove them back Into the jail, and notified the turnkey and other guards. {Was then 1:30 a.m. The police were ‘quickly notified, and for awhile the streets were vocal with Police Whisties. “By 2:20 Lieut, James Smith bad one to Washington to secure a search there. HOW WILLIAMS Gor OUT. ‘The old debtor's room, in which Williams was kept, Bas its window cased in oak, and below it a casing of heavy oak plank covers the wall to the floor. Williams, who, since he has been in the Toot, has quietly explored every crevice or nook, ther’ found that these oak’ boanls were rotten, ‘They could be gotten off by ae three fingers behind them and giving a pull, Then the bricks of the wall were loosened with a piece of barrel hoo] (it with a better Instrument Williams carried ito with him), and after one brick was detached the work’ of four men could speedily make a hole opening into the jail yard sufficient to allow One person to get through. This was done. It would, under the circumstances, have been pos-tble to have moved the board, worked at the bricks awhile, and then replaced’ the board carefully So as to hide the work already done. | SO the four men got into the all yard, Williams, the most alert, sealed the Wail quickly. ‘The others, slower, were caught. The $200 reward of the Mayor will have to be paid for the capture of W! Matas in Baltimore some Ume ago, but the gov- €rnor’s reward of $500 ts not due until conviction. A DESPERATE CHARACTER. ‘Williams, 1t {s charged, murdered Policeman Ar- Bold on the 14th of May last at a late hour in the night. Tue killing of the officer created consid- erable excitement in Alexandria at the time, and threats of lynching were made on every hand. Had Williams been captured at that time he would never have had a chance to break jail. Everbody in Alexandria was excited over the murder, and the city council offered a reward of $200 for the apprevensiou of Willams, aud Gov. Lee afterward Offered $500. Williams managed to keep out of the hands of the law for several months, and Was cap- tured ina house in Baltimore where ue had en- Lered the bed room, It 1s thought for the purpose of robbery. When caught he had a desperate strug- gic With the inmates of the house, wuo handied im protty roughly and turned him over to the police. At the Same time he was wanted in this city for burgiary, having forfelted his bail, and he had also escaped’ from the workuouse, AN OLD TRICK. Several years ago Willfams was locked up in a Station in this city. ‘The officer in charge of the station smelled something burning in the cell- room. Going back where Williams was he found an old stocking burning. ‘The long stove poker which Was kept near the stove was not to be found, and the officer suspected something wrong. ‘The burning stocking was thrown aside and the oMicer returned (o the office. A few minutes later the officer @turned to the cell-room Lo 100 Williams and again found the stocking burning. Williams, the officer found, had burned one of the cell bars out with the poker, Which he had heated in the stove, and had only tirown out the burning stocking to fool the officer. Williams Is described as being thirty years old, 5 feet 5 inches high, weight 135 pounds, brown, hair, gray eyes, mplexton, scar over right eye aiid mark on left temple. — DROPPED DEAD ON THE STREET.

While passing along 13th st., between E and Penn- sylvania avenue, without warning of any kind, he fell forward on his knees and then toppled over to thé pavement.

Coroner Patterson Visited the house this morning and gave a certificate to that effec ‘This was not the first attack of this character that had visited Mr. Moore. Five years ago he fell on 7th street, and 1t was thought then that he was dead. A few years later he had a lighter attitck of the same trouble while in New York.

In the Crimfual Court this morning before the pending trial was resumed, Mr. Campbell Carring- ton said he had Just looked upon the calm features of their friend as they now rested tn the silence of death. Last night this young manof twenty-elght years was suddenly stricken down. He was not only @ lawyer and citizen of highest character, but his past had been brilliant and his tature filled with golden promises, and he could say truly that death could not have selected a more shtotn uark.

THE AGENT OF THE READING COMPANY HERE axD ‘SOME OF THE LARGEE DEALERS THINK THERE 18 NO CAUSE FOR ALARM—THEY EXPECT AN EARLY END OF ‘TUE STRIKE—OTHER DEALERS NOT 80 SANGUINE. In view of the troubles in the Pennsylvania coal mining region there ts some alarm in Phila- delphia and other cities which draw thetr supply, in whole or in part, from that section, and as the matter is an important one to housekeepers here and elsewhere on the Atlantic coast, representa- tives of Tue Sra this morning called upon sev- eral prominent dealers in ruel for an expression of their opinions as to the probability of a scarcity of coal in this city. The result is given below. Summed up, they seem to warrant the hope that unless the Reading strike is a long-continued one, whi 1s not Spprehended, Washington will weather the storm without a coal famine, MR. SHERIFF SAYS HALF THE SUPPLY HERE COMES PROM THE AFFECTED REGION. Mr. George L. Sheriff says: “If the strike of the railway employes continues for any considerable length of time the question of the coal supply of Washington will become a very serious matter, as at present at least one-half of the city supply comes from that source, In fact the effects are ready being felt.” MR. GIVEN SAYS THE PROSPECT IS NOT A BRIGHT ONE. Mr. Jno, T, Given said that the coal prospect is not a bright one. The market was never so bare nor the means of transportation so poor and un- certain, ‘The late complications at the mines are Mable to increase the difficulty and there isa chance of @ famine. Coal that he ordered early last month has just arrived, and although he ordered at a comparatively low rate, the Pennsyl- vania people have charged the increased prices and the winter freights, so that he has had to ad- vance his prices in proportion. The deaiers, he are at the mercy of the coal combinations at the mines, whose prices expressed in monthly bulletins are unvariable as the old laws of the Medes and the Persians. There 18 no certainty ‘Whatever about the supply. WHAT AGENT BARKER OF THE READING COMPANY SAYS. The agency of the Reading Coal Co. is in the St, Cloud building under the charge of Mr. Wm. E. Barker, He thinks that there is no cause for alarm among either dealers or consumers, although he has had no direct information from the mines, ‘There is a suffictent supply in the city, he says, to Ude over the trouble, uniess the strike should con- Unue for five or six weeks, when, of course, the effects would be felt here. Philadelphia ‘will suffer worse than Washington, he says The transportation facilities, said Mr. Barker, are Tully equal to the demana for coal, and the con- Unuance of the strike is the only thing that can affect the market. WHAT J. MAURY DOVE SAYS. Mr. J, Maury Dove said: “If the suspension of coal shipments by the Keading road continues any length of time the effect on the District cannot fail to be disastrous. ‘The Reading company sup- plies the market with about one-hali of the anthracite production, ‘The amount of coal on band here ts small, and I am satisfied that if the ‘Suspension lasts there will be a coal famine in the District of Columbia inside of forty days.” i HOPEFUL VIEWS OF MR. B. KURTZ JOHNSON, Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, of the firm of Jobnson | Brothers, said toa Stan reporter: “We have not | felt the effect of this Reading strike as yet. But of | course if it continues, and if the Pennsylvania Co.'s miners join in, then a coal famine may be expected. ‘The market here 1s short of coal, and has been for ayear, but still the supply is suMictent for the demand, and there has been no advance in | prices. The effect of an advance is always felt by the poor people, for they are the ones who are unable Uo lay tua Supply of coal as their richer neighbors. do, and so, of course, all changes in the scale of prices bear upon thet most heavily. I believe, jowever, that the strike will not continue, and | that the check fn the coal supply will soon cease.” Mr. H. A. Clarke, of Clarke & Son, said: “There has been no advance in prices here on account of the strike. All the yards are well supplied, and the mild weather we have had and are now having | Ras been a great blessing in preventing | the exhaustion of the supply. The prices are just the 3 they were last year, and there 1s po need for alarm for the present, at least as long as the mild weather continues.

The Royal Baking Powder Declared Superior to All Others. ‘The fact that Royal Baking Powder is, in all respects, the best baking powder offered to the public has been established beyond question. Prof. H. A. Mott, when employed by the U. 8. Government to analyze the various baking powders of the market to determine which was the best and the most economi- . Cal, after an extended investigation, reported in favor of the Royal, and it was adopted: for government use. Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking powders sold at the present day, and now affirms it as bis deliberate Judgment, arrived at after most thorough Tesearch and a careful examination of the principal brands of the market, that the Royal is undoubtedly the purest and the most reliable baking powder offered to the Public. Prof. Mott, in bis recent report, says: “The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have so found it in many tests made both for that company and the U. 8. Government, “I will go still further and state that, because of the facilities that company has for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of its preparation, the Royal Baking Powder 1s undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to ‘the public, Dr. HENRY A.
