8 IriffpnionsncRS of Prisoners. In the Eastern Penitentiary have boon added too more names to the list of attempt ed escape Frank Mosor, of Syracuse, New lOrk, undergoing a sentence of seven years for burglary committed in Philadel phia, and Jacob Heioholt, of Muncy, Ly coming county, Pa., who is serving a simi lar term for arson. Within a day or two a break was discovered in the heating room of the Penitentiary. The fact was reported to the Warden, who began an in vestigation which led to the discovery of the facts given below : Moser and Koicholt, were employed to gether in a single cell at shoomaking. It soemed that they some time ago conceived the Idea of making their escape by the sewer running underneath the Penitentiary and roado saws out of the working knives. They sawed through the floor of the cell, then burrowed down and followed the foundation wall of the structure until they met the heating room, which they cut through ; thence gained access to tho sew er, along which they moved until the Fair mount avenue entrance was reached. Here they net an insurmountable obstacle in the form of a trap which was closed, it be ing a rule in the Penitentiary that the sew er traps must be closed after the sewer has been used. The men, fearing they would be suffocated should they attempt to re main in the sewer until the trap should be opened, retraced their steps and returned to their cell, whore they washed their clothing and straightonod things up so nicely that the authorities of the institu tion, but for the almost accidental discov ' ery of the break in the wall of the heating room, would have remained in ignorance of the attempted escape, as they would also of a littlo enterprise of a similar char acter, which the irrepressible " Brockie George" had in hie hand and was vigorous ly prosecuting. During tho search incited by the dis covery of other prisoners' work it was found that " Brockio" had been making pretty fair progress in his endeavor to cut through his cell, the " Dark Dungeon," in which Brockie has been confined since the discovery and frustration of his last at tempt. In his latest effort Brockie, it was found, had, with a common spike, which he drew from the dungeon wall in some way, cut down four feet into the solid mason work beneath the floor of his cell. Ho had managed to loosen some of the plank of bis floor, and after working at tho stone work, he would carefully replace the planks and paste up the cracks and splinter holes with a paste made of his bread and water. Itcslgus an Ofllcc. John W. Ward, Mayor of tho little town of Floreyvillo, in Mississippi, has tendered his resignation to Gov. Ames by tho fol lowing letter : " I herewith beg leavo respectfully to tender my resignation as Mayor of Florey ville, to which office I was appointed by your high-headed predeces sor, which, with the infornal greediness foi 4?ffl90 so characteristic of tho American people, I was green enough to accept. In thus drawing off trio judicial ermino I am governed alone by the haunting of being inordinately rich if I continue to hold this lucrative position. Perhaps some other man and brother may be inveigled into the acceptance of this position, but your hum ble servant prefers to retire to the gushing serenity of private life." A Singular Complaint. Complaint is made of a filthy and dan gerous practice, long prevalent in New York City, of undertakers throwing un melted ice, used for preserving the dead, into the street. This is to bo stopped by action of the Health officers, who attribute a large percentage of death from conta gious disease to children eating the ice, and in many instances taking it borne to their parents, who, unconscious of the use having been made of ii, enjoy it as a lux ury seldom experienced. tiT" The performances of a circus-rider in San Francisco received a queer compli ment a short time ago. The performer, whose name is Dockril), among other things, appears in an Indian act on horse back, in the course of which he leaps down and scalps the clown of his wig. On the particular evening referred to the au dience included the band of Warm Spring Indians who acted with the United States forces in the Modoe war. At sight of this familiar exploit, these ingenious savages were quit unable to restrain their en thusiasm.. They rose to their feet, drew their scalping-knivcs, and with thoir ter rific war-whoops were about to rush into the ring to the aid of their pseudo-brother. It was only with the utmost difliculty they could be quieted down, and then they per sisted in recalling again and again the counterfeit savaga whoso performance had so touched their sensibilities. t3TDr. William Clough.an eccentric pby aician of PitUfleld, Mass., died last week. Ho rarely took an adequate fee, never asked any pay of the poor, and his house was made of marble boulders, which he had taken of the farmers In lieu of fees, while they were cut and laid by the labor er whom he treated. As be grew older, his peculiarities' grew upon him, and the most striking features about his practice was his repugnance to' receiving any re muneration whatever for his sorvices.
