Our Leaky CouNTY JAIL.—The
oA i
Demorealic; Watcha, : long list of escapes that have been made
TD | from the old county jail here was aug-
ir mented, on Saturday night, when Charley
. Johnson and John Freeman said good-
bye to sheriff Ishler and took up their
journey for parts unknown,
When the prisoners were locked in
their cells, on Saturday evening, by the
| turn-key nothing unusual was noticed
lin any of the cells, but when tha rounds
were gone on Sunday morning No. 14,
which had contained two prisoners the
night before, was found to be empty.
A great pile of mortar and stones on the
floor, a hole in the wall about eighteen
inches square and a missing rope tells
the rest of the story.
Johason had teen in jail since the pre-
ceding Monday and was awaiting trial
for the larceny of bed clothing from
John Curry, of Logan street; while
Freeman, his cell mate, had been in
since the 13th inst. He was brought
here from Philipsburg, charged with
having broken in the show window of
McCausland’s jewelry store, in that
place, and taken considerable jewelry
therefrom. All indications point to the
conclusion that they made their escape
unaided by anyone. With two half
round iron bars about one foot in length,
which they broke off a facing on the
second corridor, they dug out the stones
in their cell wall immediately to the
left and under the window. Having
first placed a mattress on the floor so
that the falling dirt would disturb no
one, they worked deftly and quickly.
They began to dig an opening at least
three feet in diameter. It was through
8 rough mortar wall so that when they
came to the outside wall of cut sand
stone all they had to do was draw a
stone in that would leave a hole large
enough for their bodies to pass through.
With this done they easily dropped to
the jail yard without, a height of not
more than ten feet, and mounting to the
top of a low shed then ascended the jail
wall. Once on top of it a stick was
stuck under the coping and a rope at-
tached to it. The rope had been obtain-
ed inside the jail where it was used to
support a trapeze bur upon which the
prisoners were wont to exercise. With
it securely fastened the two fugitives
quickly slid down into High street and
disappeared. Where they have gone to
isstill a mystery as no trace is left by
which they can be followed.
Itis-the opinion of some that the
prisoners had been working more than
one night at that hole, bat as Freeman
1s an experienced miner it is possible that
the opening was made in a very short
time. The strangest part of the whole
affair seems to be the fact that all the
other prisoners profess to have heard no
noise whatever, though the cells on
either side of No. 14 were occupied that
night.
Johnson is described as being 5 ft 8
inches in height, of slight stature, weigh-
ing about 185 lbs, dressed in dark
clothes, slouch hat, of dark complexion,
black hair and scrubby black mustache,
with the lower part of both lobes of the
nose gone in a way that makes the par-
tition bone between the nostrils very
plainly visible. He is about 35 years
old.
Freeman is a man of about forty-five
years of age, wore dark clothes and is
rather heavily built. His (hair is black
with a sprinkling of gray init and is a
miner by trade.

Sor THREE BEARS IN As MANY
MiNvuTES.—On last Saturday evening
William Rossman, of Pleasant Gap,
made a record as a bear hunter which
is hard to beat. He is employedZon the
farm of David Noll, a short distance
below the Gap, and a visit to the corn
field convinced him that something
bad been carrying off considerable corn.
Accordingly he got his gun ready, on
Friday night, to go out and watch, and
climbing a tree, near the middle of the
field, he patiently waited for something ’s
coming, but nothing appeared that
night.
Nothing daunted by his failure §to sce
anything the first night Rossman took
his gun and climbed the tree again the
next. He had not waited long until
a bear cub putin its apperance. A
well aimed shot wound up the career of
baby bruin and tke young farmer's hair
almost stood on end when, with an ugly
growl, the she bear ran in to the base of
the tree. ,She spied him up in the
branches and started to climb up, but
with the other load in his gun he killed
ber also. Then the second cub came up
to see what all the tuss was about and
before it had time to comprehend the
situation it was a victim of that deadly
gun,

——The first game of foot ball on the
home grounds will be played between

lovers of the sport.
——Wahile H. B. Guise, who works
for Frank Swartz, in Gallagher town-
ship, Clinton county, was loading logs
on a wagon, last Saturday morning,
one of them slipped and rolled back on
the skid causing it to fly up. It struck
Guise on the back of the head killing
him instantly.
—— Fannie Stephens, a young wo-
man of Duncannon, Perry county, at-
tempted suicide one evening recently by
cutting her throat. At the time she
was visiting an uncle at Irvona, Clear-
field county, where an attack of typhoid
fever caused melancholia. She died
from her injuries on Monday:
——=Some Italians, who were being
tormented by bad boys in Mill Hall, on
Saturday night, ran to the door of their
shanty and fired revolvers out into the
darkness. A ball from one of the
shots crashed through the window of
Thomas = Hickoft’s house, only missing
his. daughter Bessie’s head by a few
inches.
—— Some swindlers are now on their
rounds among the farmers selling seed
wheat, which they claim will yield 50
bushels per acre. They offer to furnish
the seed and 100 1bs. of phosphate for each
acre and in return take half the crop.
When the bargain papers are signed the
swindler will have your note for two or
three hundred dollars, if you go into it.
Rev. Robert McPherson, a retired
Presbyterian minister who lived at East
Liberty, a Pittsburg suburb, died on
a mail train one mile east of Tyrone, on
Saturday afternoon. He was returning
from the funeral of a nephew, who had
been killed in a railroad wreck at Wells-
ville, Ohio, and when near Spruce
Creek was seized with bilious spasms.
The conductor of the train telegraphed
to Tyrone for a doctor to meet them at
that point, but when the train pulled in
the old divine was dead.
-——The death of J. W. Keller occur-
red at his home, at Linden Hall, last
Tuesday morning after a protracted ill-
ness with inflammatory rheumatism
which culminated in bright’s disease of
the kidneys. Deceased was one of
Harris township’s best known citizens
and for years had been engaged in a
lucrative mercantile business at Linden
Hall. He was post-master under the
former Cleveland administration aud
had but recently been re-appointed.
Along with his other business he was
rail-road agent al that point and a man
of considerable usefulness in thecommu-
nity. He was 87 years of age and
leaves a widow with two small children
to mourn his death. Tho funeral was
held yesterday morning, interment hav-
ing been made at Bualsburg.
——Mr. Comley, the Repulican nom-
inee for Treasurer, just began to see that
his party is deserting him the other day,
so he concluded to take a tour up through
the Bald Eagle. With a Republican
co-worker he drove up to Hannah Fur-
naceand as it wasjust dinner time when
they arrived at the home of Samuel
Hoover they concluded to stop. They
asked if they could get dinner their, to
which they received a hearty affirma-
tive. Mr. Hoover being away from
home the boys set about to entertain
the travelers in the most hospitable style;
all wont ‘‘as pleasant as a basket of chips’
until, during a conversation at the din)
ner table, the aspiring Comley begah
to tell his mission. Poor soul, he did’nt
know the Hoovers, for the boys, like the
father, are Democrats atter our own
heart, and by the time they had gotten
through with Mr. Comley and, his
friend Orrin Underwood we'll wager
dollars to coppers they did’nt know
whether they were Republicans or South
Sea islanders. It is said that the would
be Treasurer from Union township weat
right straight home and made up his
mind that he did’nt want any more ex-
perience in trying to heip Republican-
ism into office.
ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.—The
news of the ead death of J. Calvin Sto-
ver, of Penn township, was heralded
about his home last Sunday morning
and by reason of the circumstances at-
tending it excited no little interest:
Having been a well known farmer in
that vicinity his sudden demise, when
apparently in the best of health, was
the cause of considerable wonderment,
investigation disclosed the fact that no
little mystery surrounded it.
He bad been in Millheim and Coburn
all day Saturday and, report has it,
had been drinking some. When he
came to start to his home, which is at
Green Briar, about two miles from Co-
burn, he persuaded Harry Bellman, a
hostler in the livery stable at Millheim,
to go with him. They drove together
to Coburn where Stover tried to get two
quarts of whisky from land-lord Rishel,
of the hotel. He was refused and set oft
home with Bellman and a man named
Perry Hoover It was mid-night when
they reached the Stover house and Mrs,
Stover having been away with the three
children the men all decided that they
would stay all night. Stover threw him
self on his bed, which was in a room down
stairs, while Bellman and Hoover hunt-
ed up some pies to eat, Roll Finkle, a
hired man about the place who had been
out attending to the horses, came in at
ers. While they were eating Bellman
went into the room in which Stover
was lying, but came out soon and said
he had decided to go home. Accordingly
be hitched up his horses and started.
The other two fellows went to bed and
slept soundly until morning. When
they arose Finkle went about his work
as usual, but Stover had not yet gotten
up so when his wife came home they
went into his room, to find him cold in
death.
"Squire Garthoof em paneled a jury and
sat in inquest on the body. The find-
ing being that J.C. Stover met his
death from paralysis of the heart super-
induced by the excessive use of intoxi-
cants,”” Since the inquest, however, it
has been discovered that two ounce bot-
tles that had contained laudanum were
found on his person and a rumor finds
credence that he had been in the habit
of taking that drug when in the condi-
tion he was in on Saturday.
J. C. Stover was one of Penn town-
ship’s best known residents, his family
relations were always of the pleasantest
and it is known that his financial affairs
were in the best of shape. What mo-
tive there could have been for his sad
action is buried with him. Though he
is reported to have said “I have out-
grown my usefulness’’ no one ever
dreamed that he intended acting on such
a conclusion. In his 38th year, with a
loving wife and three bright children,
living the life of an independent, pros-
perous husbandman, there seems little
else than a moment of temporary insan-
ity to have driven him to such a pit-
tiful end.
He carried $5000 life! insurance.
$3000 of it was with J. C. Harper, of
this place, in the New York Life, the
balance being with the Rankin agency,
in the Equitable.
THosE MoNsTROUS RADISHES.—Just
as the WATCHMAN was going to press,
last Thursday evening, the expressman
toted a big box into the sanctum and
cried out ‘‘prepaid, from Bald Eagle.”
Now Bald Eagle is a station on the
upper end. of the B. E.V. rail-road
where we know a few people, and as a
small sized tree seemed to be growing
from one end of the box we at first
thought that some one had tried to be a
little bit ahead of the many (?) others
who do such things and sent us a christ-
mas tree with the necessary turkey
attachment.
Of course when the box was opened
we found out different, for carefully
wrapped up in paper we found three
monstrous radishes. The largest of
them was eleven inches in circumfer-
ence, was thirteen inches long and
weighed seven pounds. What do you
think of that ? But when the other
two were placed on the scales the beam
jumped up so hard that we had to put
a fourteen pound weight on to balance
it.
Besides the radishes there was a big
head of cabbage. No name of the
sender accompanied the box, but tags
on each vegetableinformed us that they
were grown in a Democratic bed and
all from the same kind of seed. This
latter statement was somewhat of a
staggerer, but we believed it. It was
the first time we had ever heard of
cabbages growing from radish seeds, or
vica versa, but the “Democratic bed”
explains all. When the McKinley bill
has been wiped cut and all those other
pernicious measures sponged off the
public law slate, by good Democratic
enactments, then lookout for pumpkins
and huckleberries growing on the same
bush. :

Gallagher, a young son of Bernard Gal-
lagher, of south Spring street, was walk-

showered by more rice and congratula-
tions than usual, started on the express
for an extended trip.

A MuseuM oF CENTRE COUNTY
Propucts.—In connection with the
enterprising spirit that has recently en-
thused some of our citizens to the organ-
ization of a Board of Trade there has
come a movement to establish a museum *
of Centre county’s natural products in
this place, where they can be visited by
everyone and used asan advertisement
of this section of the State: The Board
of Trade will procure a suitable room
which it will furnish with eases and
suitable stands for the exhibit of all
kinds of products of the county which
may be turned to value through the
process of manufacture.
Specimens of iron ore, coal, lime,
sand and other stones, grain of all
kinds, clays and other earths, woods of
various kinds and other natural “pro-
ducts should be sent to E. Brown Jr., of
this place, who is chairman of the com-
mittee. He will have charge of the
arrangement of the exhibit and will
only make a success of 1t by the co-op-
eration of every person who is in a posi-
tion to aid in the work.
Aside from the fact that such an
exhibit will prove of much interest to
everyone who may call to see it, it will
be a standing and convincing advertise-
ment of the resources of the county and
may be the agent through which much
land, of no value to-day, is made worth
considerable money to-morrow.
Do not hesitate in the matter. Don’t
think little things are of no importance
for often times they turn out to be of ines-
timable value. Send in anything you
may have that is worth exhibiting, but
remember that only those articles which
are found natural in the county are
wanted and in such quantity that they
could be developed.

farmer.— Philipsburg Journal.
