HHM 5 f - THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1890. 11. HUiNTLNG A CONYICT. An Eicitin? Cnase With Fox Hounds After an Escaped Xeqro. TRAILED AMONG Sl'GWGY SWAMPS. Up to the Xeck in Mud He Pats the Tarsu in? Dosrs on the Head. ONLY A FEW SHORT HOURS OP FRELDOH Under Ihe much-talked-of Southern lease system, where convicts are worked in the open air, men will escave occasionally. There is do lielp for it. Some desperate fe!5ow is always ratchinjr for an oppor tunity, and when it offers willrhk tlie "Win chesters of tlie guards and dash for the nearest wainp or woodland. Then the sport begins. One rleasant morninp;, rot loni; apo, a convict "trusty" from Scuffle came breath less into the 'Welaunie camp with the infor mation that such an event had taken place, rays a New YorS Tribune man writing from Monticcllo, Fla. He was after Captain Powell, the chief of the Bys'cm, and in a few harried sentences he toid how one "Joe" Johnson, a negro under a year's sentence, had run an hour or so before. Captain Pow ell received the news calmly. He had not been in the business 14 years for nothing, and it reauircsmore than an ordinary escape to upset his equanimity. "Saddle a mulct" he called to one of the convicts working about the yard, and tak ing down a born from its place beneath a shed, blew a loner, staccato blast. Instantly another note responded, a melancholy, quivering bay; there was an eager scamper ing of feet, and four foxhounds came dash ing out of an incloiuro near at hand. BLOODnOCXDS TOO EXrEXSlTC There is a popular impression that con victs nowadays and slaves in old times were chased with bloodhounds, but this is a great mistake. A bloodhound is too costly and too delicate for snch work under the hot Southern sun; he is neither quick enough nor keen enough of scent, and iox nnd deer hounds are invariably employed. Tlicy do not attack the human game when brought to baj, another general error. bntare guides oniy lorhorspmen that al ways follow cl .se behind, and for that rea son the foxhrtind. is preferred, the deer hound being too rapid far the horses and too apt to get out of sight in the beat of the crnsc. Of the four hounds that responded to the captain's horn, two were full-srown old trailers, and two mere puppies, but all of them knew what was coming, and leaped and bounded as eagerlv as a well-trained bird dog at the sight of a sportsman's gun. Another animal, a huge white bulldog, looked on wistfully, and when the captain jumped into the saddle quietly took his place by the stirrup. He had no nose for a trail nnd he knew it, but he didn't want to miss the fun. TAKING- TO THE TRAIL. Five minutes' hard gallop and Scuffle was reached, where the huntsmen of human game were gathered in an impatient group. The captain's laconic inquiries drew out the fact that the convict had been sent a little distance lor a plow and had not re turned. "When it became evident that he had levanted the Scuffle pack of Jour hounds essayed to take the trail; but, as sometimes occurs, for no assignable reason, they were unable to follow it and ran back, yelping and confused. Captain Powell, without waiting to debattj the question, du? the rowels in his mul, the rest of the party I following in a croup that soon became a pro- I cession. All were armed, all thrilled with the ex citement of the chase, lor the slyest fox or tare that ever doubled on a. track is paltry game in comparison with a man, nerved to all the strategy of desperation and strung to the highest tension by the hope of deliver ance trom bondage. There is a smack of danger about it, too, that adds eest to the adventure, for such game as this is capable of anything. Presently the spot was reached where the flight began, and the hounds, that bad run steadily before, the riders, sniffed the air nervously and then, with scarcely a moment's hesitation, settled down to the loiiglswinging trot that told plainer than words that they had struct the trail. TERROR IK EVERT FOOTPRINT. For the time being their services were scarcely necessary, lor the tracks of the fugitive were plainlv discernible in the soft loam of a field he crossed on the way to a thickly wooded, swampy belt, a little dis tance away. At the time the man le!t the camp he was "double shackled," as the prison phrase goes. That is to say, hfs nutles were manacled together with a stout iron chain, long enough ."or a short stride, bat in some war he had snapned a link, and his footprints, almost two yards apart, indicated the speed at which he ran. Tiieie was terror written in every one ot those Intaglios. "When the swamp was reached the tracks disappeared; the quagmire swallowed them up, but it was powerless to eff.icc that mys terious eflluvU by which a trained hound tracks its prey, acd the animals kept right on, ploughing through the dark water weeds, flounuerins through the mud, swim ming lagoons and scrambling over fallen tree trunk', but never once hesitating in the pursuit The riders followed as best they could, skirting the more solid edres of the swamp wherever practicable, but now and then forced into its recesses. HIS RACE FOR Lire. Johnson ran well. He had about an hour and a hall's start, it is true, but it is terribly tlow work for a man to force a passage through one of these sub-aqueous tropical jungles. His course trended to the south east, and lay for many miles within the limits of the plantation. How far ahead he might be it was impossible to sav, and the pursuers were stimulated by the possibility that he might appear at anv moment, as mile after mile rolled off behind them. Captain Powell's steed must surely 'have Deen a mood relation of the illustrious mule that Sheridan is said to have dashed to Winchester upon (poct3 to the contrary not withstanding), for he outran all the" rest and kcptwell in the lead. Uut he was still a mule, and had some broncho habits; for at intervals he gave a vicious stiff-legged lean and "bucEed" after the most approved "Wild West fashion. However, the captain kept his seat, and, muddy and blown, the party emerged at last in a fertile depression known as "Thompson's Valley." Tlierc the two puppies gave out. Up to that time they had faithfully kept the trail, but thev lacked the bone and sinew lor so sustained an effort, and fairly dropped in their track panting with fatigue. ' THE OLD HOUNDS STILL PEESH. The two older hounds had not turned a hair, and the party kept straight on, for not far beyond lay the dense Hinges of a wild morass called "Beasley's Swamp," through which they foresaw that a long pursuit must be well-nigh futile. The big bulldog still ran by the Captain's stirrup, his white coat stained with slime and his red tongue lolling out. Sow they were at the outposts of the ewamp, and in the next moment they had disappeared. For long reaches it was im possible to see a dozen yards ahead, so rank was the tropical vezetation. and so thiob the veil of parasitical creepers that hung from every bough. The ardors of the chase had really just begun. Huge tree trunks barricaded the way on every hand, and rot ten effigies of what had once been trunks, through which the horses' hoofscrashedand tank into the oozb below. A poisonous, stagnant vapor hung in the air like mist, and the place was alive with animal and reptile life. Hutre moccasins, the embodi ment of repulsive death, slid away through the .slime; now and then the weeds were thrust aside by the checkered snout of nn alligator; monstrous lizards, all black and gold, blinked from tbc logs; chameleons scampered up the tree trunks, and gorgeous spiders hunc pendulous in a thousand webs. TOE FUGITIVE IN SIGHT. For a mile or more the party pushed its way through this stronghold of primeval lite, but the chances of success were crowing smaller. The trail was becoming faint in the water that abounded everywhere, and even the captain was thinking of abandon ing the pursuit, when one of the guards on horseback suddenly gave a view halloo. He had caught sight of ihe fugitive dashing across an open glade about 200 yards away. Instantly he slipped from the saddle aud threw his rifle to his shoulder, but quick as the movement was, the convict had disap peared before he could pull the trigger. The best he conld do was to fire in the di rection he had taken, and the pursuers spurred forward to renewed exertions at the shot; but the bird had flown; the thicket into which he had vanished held nothing, not even a footprint. Abont a mile further on the riders were unable to urge their animals through the swamp. It had become impassable to any thing except its denizens, or to a man in spired bv fear. The doirs were at ihe time a little in advance, out of sight among the water weeds, and theirbaying had momenta rily ceased. They came slowly back at the note of the horn, and could they have spoken, the chase might have had a differ ent issue, for they had seen the fugitive where he stood, utterly spent and TJP TO HIS NECK IN MUD, less than 100 feet away. One of them, in fact, had swam right up to him and the ex hausted negro patted him on the head and made friends then and there. But the partv knew nothing of this episode at the time and reluctantly turned back. Their tired mounts retraced the painful way through the swamp, across the valley and thence to camp. But what of "Joe" Johnson. Left in this natural man-trap, he found his situation scarcely les perilous than it had been in early hours of his flight, and he wandered in its recesses for a day and night before he found an outlet. "When he eirerged at last he made his way to Marion connty, where he exchanged his tell-tale stripes lor a suit of clothes stolen from a cabin. But the news had spread among the settlers, and on the second day he was seized and brought back to Scuffle, with his trouble and perils for his pains. This, it may be said in con clusion, is the late of most escanes from thes camps. With patierice and boldness it is comparatively easy to get away in the first instance, but the wild and desolate stretch of country that surrounds the out-of-door prison is, like the Steppes of Siberia, a barrier that few can cross. CRIMINAL SENTENCES. Judge Stowo Was Merciful Yesterday and Punishments tVere Light Lenient With the Policemen The Tamous Oil Drilling Cases Brier News From tho Courts. In the Criminal Court yesterday Police men Olstadt and Coen, who were convicted of assault and battery, were brought up for sentence.

A bill in equity was filed yesterday by A. A. Milligan against the New York Life Insurance Company and K. TJ. Bowes, agent. Milligan states that owes issued him a policy for 10,000. The premium for two vears was 067, and Milligan gave his note for it and gave as collateral security two other insurance policies for 51,000 each. The 510,000 policy, he claims, was not, in its provisions, what Bowes had represented to him. He therefore wanted it canceled and his notes and other policies returned to him. Bowes relused to do this, and he now asks the Court to cancel the 510,000 policy aud order his notes and policies returned.

A Charmer Explains How He Makes the Songsters His Prisoners. Washington Star. "Bird lime is a sticky substance and holds on tightly to anything that touches it. How is it made? Oh, I can't tell you. If I did every boy in Washington .would be stuck on sparrows," and the Dira cnarmer innznea at his wit. "As I was saying-, this bird lime is very ad hesive and when a bird touches it he enters the bonds of slavery. When I start out to u:e bird lime I generally select a place where the birds are thickest. Taking my lime pot in one hand and a lone flat stick in the other I smear the limbs with the lime and do the same thine to T-shaped perches, which I stick in the ground. A light sprinkle of grain about the perches com pletes the work. The frightened birds soon return and those which are not caucht in the trees fly down to the perches to examine more critically the food placed about them. The result is apparent. I then cather in the birds and move on to another spot. A Llttlo Waif Hunting a Home. John Charles Price, a 13-year-old bov was again turned over to tlie Anti-Cruelty Soci ety yesterday.

After Her Marriage. NOW HEIRESS TO FIFTEEN MILLIONS. fSFECIAI. TKLrOItAM TO TnE DISPATCH. 1 New Yoke, Dec. 27. The decree in the suit for limited divorce of Senora B. Casa nova against her husband, Bicardo Casa nova Rodriguez, a wealthy Cuban, which has been pending in the Supreme Court since lant June, was granted to-day. The wife secured her divorce with the conditions appealed for, and her wroncs arc righted so far as lies in the poiver of tho courts. Senora Casanova's history, as brought to light during the suit, Is an exceptionally sad and dramatic one. Despite the fact that her husband is a very rich man, she was sued last July by one Cyrus A. Stevens, of 94 Lafayette place, for 118 weeks' board. The amount that Stevens claimed was justly due him for board was 51,036, with interest. He also held in his possession assignments of ether debts acainst Senora amounting to several hundred dollars. Abandoned by Her nnsband. Senora Casanova retained Wriirht & Cul len, the lawyers who presented Mr. Stevens' claims against her, to push her suit for di vorce. She declared that her husband bad absolutely abandoned her and failed to sup port her. Casanova deserted her in Novem ber, 1876, upon the pretense that he was go ing to Havana to engagein business. Money to defray the expenses of his journey was furnished by his wire's friends at her solici tation. Before his departure he supported his wife, but once away he neglected to send her a dollar. Senora Casanova went on a visit to friends in Cuba in 18S9. Her husband sent her word that if she would return to New York and secure a divorce he was willing to settle all claims upon him by giving her 54,000. This proposition the Senora absolutely de clined to listen to. Casanova's father, Imcencio Casanova, a prominent citizen of Cuba, died on May 30, leaving over 515.000, 000 to bis heirs. Casanova came in for a large share of the frrtque. He again made his wjfe an offer of 54.000 through bis brother, Jose Casanova,iu the following June to close all claims upon him. Senora Casanova wrote her husband that she would insist upon her rights. Wedded to an American. Senora Casanova has certainly not been one of fortune's favorites. She was born at Holjyin, on the cast coast of the island of Cuba. Her family is one of the oldest and most prominent ot the Spanish aristocracy. She grew to be a tall, exquisitely propor tioned gin ot great beauty. An abundance of raven black hair, skin as white as the driven snow, aud eyes clear and perfect were the characteristics which enabled her to easily lead in the race with rival belles. She reigned as a sorial queen at Santiago de Cuba Bosa for several seasons, and there met her first husband for she was a widow when she was married to Casanova Dr. Augustus E. Phillips, the American Vice Consul at Santiago. I)r. Phillips was also a man of considerable means. sJHe went to Cuba from Providence, R. I. The beautiful girl was surrounded by a host of admirers, but the young dentist was an ardent suitor, soon won the affections of the senora, and after a very brief engagement they were married. Widowed by Suicide . The trouble with the revolutionists began in 1868. Dr. Phillips bravely defended the consulate during an attack of the revolu tionists, but was afterward forced to leave the island with his young wife, under the protection ot the British Consul. He was not reinstated by the Grant administration, and he then endeavored to make a living by his profession. He was unsuccessful, how ever, and after various ineffectual attempts he committed suicide at the Crittenden Ho tel, in this city. In 1876 Mrs. Phillips met Bicardo Casa nova, and was married to him'June 27 of that year. Bicardo told his wife that his father was a wealthy man, but that he would cut him off without a penny if his marriage to a poor woman was known. On the strength of his statement the senora went to live with a Mrs. Taylor, at 112' iuaaison avenue. Mrs. Taylor soon ascer tained that her beautiful boarder was with out means, but with the kindness of a trne woman she did not press her claim. Bicardo visited the .house frequently, but always managed to avoid Mrs. Taylor. The mar riage took place at the Church of the Holy Martyr, on Secoud avenue. "WOELD'S FA1E INTELLIGENCE. The Lako Front Differences TVIth tho Ill inois Central to be Settled. Chicago, Dec. 27. It is now believed that the differences between the World's Fair managers and the Illinois Central Company, with regard to the Lake Front, will soon be adjusted. President Fish, of the Illinois Central, has agreed to fill in the lake for 600 feet and put the tracks at the limit of the fill allowed by the Government. It is suggested that the tracks be depressed and placed on piles or on filled ground only four feet above the lake, the expense to be borne by the World's Fair directors unless the arrangement should be made permanent, when the rail road, it is said, will bear its proportion of the cost. A few citizens who are opposed to the Lake Front site are quietly working against this plan. At a meeting of the Committee on Grounds aud Buildings this afternoon, the matter of sewerage aud of the laying ot the grounds was discussed. Architect Burnhaui selected the architects who are to assist in World's Fair matters, but their names are not to be madepublic until they are approved by the Board of Directors. Secretary Butterworth liaswritten from Washington asking for 100 copies of the classification to be sent with the proclamation to the Governments of foreign nations. A MANIACS SUICIDE.

It is our business to collect rents, man-acre and rent prop erty, look after taxes and mu nicipal liens. We Have Been Many Years in This Business, We ought to be, and are, better able to manage your property than you, yourself, just as you know more of your own particular business than we do. We know how much rent the property should brincf, and how and where to get good tenants for it. We have frequently found owners getting only about one-half the proper rental for their property. We issue thousands of our rent lists in season, daily, mailing them free to all applicants until they are suited. We make no charge for ad vertising your property on this list. We are responsible; any bank or "old citizen" will tell you all about us. Owners have as much diffi culty in collecting from some agents as from the tenants; fortunately there are not many such agents. If you own renting prop erty it will pay you to call on us.
