McCrillqs Adams stopped at Auburn place, asveral miles from the city proper, and some two miles from the world’s fair grounds, and were probably uncouscious of their sou’s sudden death until wired from this city, he haying been found too late lor the morniug papers to get the news. *“ > . The Democrat is uuable to give an accurate account of the sad affair this week as tho particulars are not known at the time of going to piWs. .Howard Adams was ono of the ratft known young men of the city, jlfl was liked by ali for his many good traits of character and coqgeuiality.

Monday evening about half past five o’clock the word went forth that another pair bad escaped from Sheriff Kinman. It proved to be a fact. While the sheriff and hU deputy were seated at the supper table putting away a substantial meal, William Stinson and George Tisdale were putting brick and mortar out of the wav between them and freedom- They had carefully examined the same old weak spot under one ot the wiudows and concluded that about three minutes work would make an opening sufficient to admit of their bodies. It was broad daylight when they slipped through the “hole in the wall” and made a break for liberty. They ran around the building and took out to the old cemetery, and from there up past Capt. Hockett’s home and threugh fields and woods. The sheriff and his deputy! were notified of their escape at orce and took after them. Jarred Carter, (colored) joined iu the race, and grabbing up an old gun, struck out at a Nancy Hanks gait, and soon overtook Stinson aud Tisdale. He commanded them to halt. Stinson at once “threw up his hands’’ but Tisdale never stopped making tracks through a corn field. Carter kept Stinson covered until Deputy Sheriff Robinson came up, gun iu hand, and who then brought him back to the city. This is the third escape from jail since Mr. Kinman has been sheriff, In all seven persons have given the sheriff a parting good bye. Four have been recaptured, the other three still being out. It is time that the sheriff should take precautiou against lettlug prisoners remaiu iu the corridor which is very insecure. Not one of the many prisoners escaping have gotten out of the cages. The sherifi and his jailor are entirely too easy with their prisoners. The Gages are safe and prisoners should be kopt in them. Tisdale has not been heard from. On Tuesday evening last a large number ot relatives and friends of Uncle Perry Hammond assembled at his residence on Ninth street to remind him that he had reached the age of four-score years. Mr. Ham* raond was presented with a fine gold headed cane by his friends, the presentation speech being made by Dr#A. R. Byers. He is one of the veteran merchants os the town and is still the senior member of the firm of P. C. Hammond & Sons, dry goods dealers. He is probably the oldest mau in Petersburg and has lived here upwards of seventy years. May our venerable friend live many more years of happiness. The evening was mosPpleasantly spent iu reminiscenses of ye olden times, and of which Mr. Hammond can tell many interesting things which occured in the pioneer days of Petersburg and Pilfe county.
