CAUGHT AT IT.
diaries Gibsen and le GrefI A ttemiit
te
ltrcak out ol'-the Prison.
Yesterday Charles Gibsen and ea
Greff, two prisoners who are confined
the county prison attempted te make
their escape. About i o'clock in the af
ternoon, while services were being held,
Underkccper Mnrr passed the cell (Ne 11
en the lower tier) occupied by the men.
He heard a thumping noise and he listened
for a time. He noticed that when
ever the organ played the noise
was louder. Suspecting that something
was wrong he called Keeper Weise ; the
two then went into the cell and made an
examination of it. The cell is an iron
clad and they found that the prisoners had
cut a hole through the iron, in the south
eastern corner of the cell, large enough
for a man te crawl through. They had
also taken out two layers of the brick wall
and had placed the bricks under
the bed. If they had worked a short time
longer they would have had the wall cut
through and would have been able te
reach the cellar, from which they could
easily have escaped. The prisoners are
both cigarmakcrs and work at their trade
in the prison. The only tools feuud upon
them were their cigar knives, with which
they cut the iron. Underkecpcr Mnrr
says as he passed the cell of these men
about 0 o'clock yesterday morning he
heard a noise as though they were sharp
ening their knives. He passed the cell
several times, and always found Greff at
the deer.
Chas. Gibsen was convicted with Jehn
Frankford about two years age of stealing
horses and was sentenced te eight years
imprisonment. Since that time he has
twice broken jail but both times was re
captured after he had been at liberty but
a short time. At the last court he plead
guilty te the charge of breaking jail and
was sentenced te eighteen months impris
onment, that sentence te commence at the
expiration of the original one.
Jeseph GrelV was convicted about ti year
and a half age, and was sentenced te live
years' imprisonment for breaking into a
store at Millway. One of his associates
in that affair was a young man named
Geedman, who broke out with Gibsen the
hist time, but was never recaptured. He
is a young man and his home is iu Cel
umbia.
Underkccpcr Murr, who caught these
two men, also discovered Frankford be
fore he succeeded in escaping last summer.
The two prisoners are new in cell Ne.
51 en the upper tier.

Keene as ' Mellaril." The appearance of
Mr. Themas W. Keene at Fulton opera house
this evening Is the only really great
tragic event at present en Mr. Yocker's books,
and it is te be hoped that the community
will show their appreciation et the treat
therein presented for their enjoyment by lin
ing the opera house. Mr. Keene Is a stranger
hereabouts, but the credentials he bears with
him are all et tlie llrst order. Ills Richard, in
which he Is billed te appear here. Is pronounced
by the Chicago Tribune te be In many respects
the best en the stage, lull of fire and often
marked by startling originality, both of con
ception and execution. The same authority
doubts If ever the llereencss of the Shaks
pearean character was mere electrically
portrayed than It was by Ecene. A strong
cast headed by Miss Henrietta Vaders supports
the distinguished tragedian.
" Sharps and Flats." Kobsen and Crane, the
nieus comedians, will appear at the opera
house te-morrow evening, In the exquisitely
ftinny play et "Sharps and Flats," In which,
during the present season, they have been
steadily adding te their extended reputation
as artists of the highest quality. They contin
ually crowded the Arch street theatre, Phil
adelphia, last, week, and their return Je this
city, alter their Haltering success hefe last
year, en which occasion they delighted every
body as tile Twe DromtesAt sure te ba greeted
by a large and appreciative audience.
' Widow IStdelt." Petroleum V. Xesby's
utilising comedy is the attraction underlined
for Wednesday night at the opera house, and
everyone who witnesses Mr. Bishop's rendi
tion of the character is sureefahcarty laugh.
The humor et" the play is described as pure,
wholesome and rcllucd.
