Chicago, May 19. Special Among the congresses which are to meet in Chicago during the World's Fair is a Congress on Africa. An advisory council has been ap pointed, composed of gentlemen in America and foreign lands who have expert knowl edge of or are especially interested in Afri can questions. It is the purpose to bring together not only explorers and missionaries in Africa and experts in the sciences bearing upon the African question, but also natives, who may tell their own story and give their own opinions as to the best way of bringing their great continent into the line of the world's progress. The diretory of the Columbian Exposition has appropriated the sum of $200,000 to secure ample accommodations for the series of congresses, of which the African Con gress will be one. It is expected that there will be at least 15 of these congresses and that there will be at least 100 subdivisions, to each of which specified work will be as signed. Halls, some great and others of moderate capacity, are to be provided in the heart of the city so as to afford the largest accessibility to people who desire to attend these meetings. It is expected that the African Congress will have the benefit of the presence and co operation of all the leading experts in every oountry. Among the great questions to come before the congress will be the means of overthrowing the slave trade and the rum traffic, of utilizing the great resources of the Continent, and whether it is practic able to use parts of Africa as an outlet for the overcrowded populations of India and other lands.

Successfully Followed by Two Pals ITho Were in the Secret FITZSIMM0NS' EXPLOIfS DUPLICATED tKVZCLU. TH.EOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. Washington, TPa., May 19. This city was thrown into a state of intense excite ment over the announcement to-night that Martin Reed, the condemned murderer, and two others had made a bold and successful escape from the county jail. Reed was awaiting execution for the murder of Alex ander Chappell, and neither he nor Joe Brown and John Cottam, who escaped with him, have thus far been apprehended. The escape was one of the boldest and at the same time most successful that ever has been known here. About 9 o'clock to-night everything fras quiet in the jail. Reed was reposing in his cell, and all other prisoners were behaving as usual. At that hour the guard was somewhat relaxed, as it was not believed anyone would attempt to escape from the Washington jail, which has hither to been considered of the safest A Hope, a Man and an Alarm. Shortly after 9 o'clock J. B. Shaffer, of this city, entered the jail yard and went to the rear for a drink of water. Everthing was quiet, but hearing a slight noise from the building Shaffer turned, and was amazed to see a man sliding down a rope from the second story. The rope swung to and fro from a small hole which had been made in the brick wall, and when the escaping prisoner had reached to within about ten feet of the ground the rope broke, and the fellow fell heavily to the bottom. He was unhurt, however, and before Shaffer could give any alarm, he had leaped to his feet and started running across the jail yard, over the fence and down Beau street at the top of his speed. Shaffer immediately raised an alarm, but before he or anyone else could interfere, two other prisoners slid down the rope and were lost to view. It was noticed that the first man to slide down the rope was without hat or coat, and investigation proved that this man was Reed. The alarm given soon brought Sheriff Cherry to the scene with his depu ties. A hurried examination was then made of the jail cells, when it was found that Reed, Brown and Cottam were missing. A Plot Cleverly Carreld Out. The escape had been very cleverlyplanncd and boldly executed. The men must have been occupied in the work for several weeks at least, and it is a wonder they were not discovered at their work by the jail officials. Murderer Reed had been most carefully guarded of any, but an examina tion ot his cell showed that several bars had been sawed through and then put back in place. With the slightest 1 THE -is- SATURDAY. MAY -KOR SECOND PUBLIC SALE -AT- n L I y U n i exertion he was able to bend the bars of the cell and reach the corridor. Here aid from ontside prisoners evidently came into play, as a hole had been cut in the brick wali just above Reed's cell. This hole had been picked out with very clever tools, and all traces of mortar had been carefully re moved. The bricks were then put back in place, ready to be taken out at any time, as were the bars of the cell. It is not believed that he had any aid from the outside to-night, though there is no doubt that the rope and tools had been smuggled, into him by friends. The other prisoners who escaped with Reed are be lieved to have made the break only to shield him in event of a possible hot chase. No Trace or the Trio Found. When the news of the escape spread a crowd gathered about the jail, and Sheriff Cherry had no trouble in organizing several posses to hunt the prisoners down. Up to 1 o'clock, however, nothing has been heard of them, and it 13 believed Reed has been hid by his friends, as he bad at least half an hour s start 01 the Sherin. Late to-night the County Commissioners held a meeting and offered a reward of $500 for the arrest of Reed, and the county is be ing scoured for him. Reed was here awaiting execution for the murder of Alexander Chappell, at the Bur gettstown fair. Reed was in love with Mrs. Chappell. and it was shown at the trial that he had placed a bottle ot poisoned whisky where the husband could reach it The trial was very excitingand after reoeiving sentence Reed said he would never be hanged. He was unarmed when he escaped, but it is believed be is now among friends, and it caught up with wiU make a desperate fight At 3:30 this morning a telephone message from Glenwood stated that one of the three men who escaped from the Washington county jail was arrested in the Second precinct and placed in the Fourteenth ward station house. The prisoner says the other two are making for Pittsburg. HEALING THE UNITARIAN RUPTTJEE. The Olive Branch Extended by the Western Branch of tho Chnrch. Chicago, May 19. The most important item at to-day's meeting of the Western Unitarians, held in this city, was the passing of resolutions which close between the Western branches and those of the other parts of the United States the rupture which took place in 1886. These resolutions were presented by Rev. J. F. Sanderson, of Ann Arbor, who was one of the first to set the example of dividing the West from the other portions of the country in the matter of TJnitarianism at the Cincinnati Confer ence in 1886.
