Deputy Sheriff Fleming, of Lock
Haven, is alleged to have cocked his
revolver at and beat Adam Willets,
employed as a porter at the Irvin
House, for an alleged Insult offered his
(Fleming's) wife. An attempt was
made to take the revolver from Flem
ing, when it was discharged, the ball
lodging in the wall. Fleming, who
was arrested, claims that he was jus
tified in punishing Willets, as the hit
ter's action toward Mrs. Fleming
would have " roused any man to
fury."

For several days Jailor Wensel and
Sheriff Oyster have noticed an uneasy
expression in the action of Tat Good
man and James Daly.two prisoners con
fined in the jail on the charge of bur
glarizing the Thayer House. On Sat
urday night theprlsoners were watched
from the top of the jail wall, where a
view of their cell could be had, and
were observed to be very busily en
gaged .in carrying stone. After the
work had progressed about as far as
Sheriff Oyster deemed prudent, he
went Into the cell and surprised the
boys In the act of attempting to es
cape. They were confined in the
lower cell on the north side of the
jail, in the outside corner of which
was screwed down a large piece of
boiler iron, with about a dozen six
inch screws, running into the joists.
To put these screws into place required
two men to turn the wrench. The
plate was put down to cover a hole
burned in the corner by Smith, of
Wilcox depot burglary memory.
Goodman and his pard succeeded in
taking the bolts out of the plate, and
after removing the plate they sawed
off the joist and commenced taking
out the stone. The floor of the cell
has been laid but about two years, and
underneath the floor was filled with
stone. These stone they removed,
filling the water-closet, stove, and
piling them on blankets to deaden the
noise. They had succeeded in making
a hole large enough for a man to work
in, and had made quite an Impression
on the outside wall as they were stop
ped. No Implements were found save
a razor, a jack-knife and coal shovel,
bent up at the sides to make it handy
for digging with, and how they man
aged to remove the large bolts with this
small kit, remains a mystery. The
boys were considerably taken back
when they found their little game was
up, but as resistance was useless they
were shackled and hand-cuffed to
gether, and placed in another cell. On
Sunday a great many people visited
the jail to see the place where the pris
oners didn't escape. During the day
Goodman wrenched off the fctove door
and broke the handcuffs, and since
then he has broken the shaekels. The
raid was made on the prisoners
between eleven and twelve o'clock,
and Goodman Informed the sheriff
that in an hour and a half more they
would have been outside the jail. No
doubt these meu are desperate, and it
will require extra vigilance to keep
them until the September term of
court, but we believe Sheriff Oyster to
be equal to the emergency.

Emporium Independent,
Not long since a law was passed
for the protection of railroad compan
ies against a class of tramps who per
sist In riding on the cars without pay
ing the schedule rates, and under this
law the Reading railroad company
have recently been making heavy
raids on ride stealers. A couple of
weeks ago about twenty of these offen
ders were taken into custody and con
signed to the Norrlstown jail for
thirty days. Early on Sunday morn
ing just before daybreak, these prison
ers wrenched from the side of the
house they were confined in a couple
of planks, and crawled into the yard.
Having previously provided them
selves with a rope made by tearing
their blankets in strips, they made a
knot in one end of it and left it hang
over the extremity of one of the
planks. They then raised the plank
against the wall so that the knot hung
clinched under the end of the former,
and a person drawing himself up the
board by means of the rope would
thus draw the knot more securely,
Having placed a second plank beside
the other to make a broader footway,
fourteen clambered up, one by one,
and perched themselves on top of the
wall. With the assistance of those re
maining the plank was brought up
and securely arranged on the other
side, the fourteen descended Into the
quiet streets of Norrlstown, where
they remained no longer than was ac
tually necessary. Search for the fu
gitives was kept up during Saturday,
but without success.

to make.lt comfortable for the audience.
Tho stage was gotten up In real artis
tic taste, being a great improvement
in this respect on all former ef
forts. The drop curtain and the
tableau curtain being perfectly adjust
ed, worked to perfection. The exer
cises consisted of instrumental and
vocal music and dramatic exercises.
interspersed with tableaux which were
beautiful in. the extreme. We have
not the room to spare to gartlcularlee
upon the programme. The music Was
excellent. The dramas were rendered
in a style so life-like that the entire
audience were captivated. The tab
leau of the death of Germane Cousin
was beautiful, and impressed the en
tire audience. That of the death of
Miriam was also grand, and elicited
the hearty applause of all. The grand
tableau of St. Pancratlus was also
beautifully rendered, and was looked
upon with interest. It is doing no in
justice to the balance of the pupils to
say that Miss Jenuie Jackson and Miss
C. L. Boyles excelled In personation of
characters, while Miss Maggie Dever
eux, Miss Joanna Johnson and Miss
Nellie Jackson captivated the aud
ience with their vocal music. Miss
Jennie Jackson and Miss Kate McDer

piano, and were loudly encored each
time they made their appearance. All
did well. Miss Jennie Jackson wan
crowned with the wreath of honor

Shortly after the Inmates of the jail
had retired Monday night they wore
awakehed by cries of "murder! mill"
derl" and call for the sheriff from
the cells. Dernfty Peck hastened as
fast as possible tti the corridor of the
jail and Was directed by the other
prisoners to the cell occupied by two
men named Gregory and Bh'oitpe.
He opened the cell doors and a fearful
and bloody spectacle was presented to
his gaze, fc'houpo hty upon the bt'd
covered with blood arid bleeding pro
fusely, while Gregory stood over him
with a pocket-knife in his hand. The
deputy ordered the latter to come out
and lay down his knife, and lie was
locked Up in another cell. Dr. BttrtMi
was at once summoned to attend to
Shoupe's wounds. He found that lie
was cut in several places about the
chest, very dangerously, but whether
fatal or not is yet to be determined.
The cause Of the asnult Is of course
a partial mystery, as there was no wit
nesses other than the parties to the
affray. Gregory did not escape harm
less. He bears on his person many
marks of the teeth of his victim, and
shows that he was pretty roughly
handled. Whether these marks were
glvefi in self-defense, or whether he
was forced to use the knife in self-defense
remains to be found out. He
told the deputy that there were two
sides to be affair, and there possi
bly may be, though appearances look
bad for his side.
The other prisoners were wildly ex
cited, and demauded of the deputy to
be let out that they might punish
Gregory in their own way. Had they
been let out they would undoubtedly
have killed him. He has been kept
locked in his cell since, and begged
the deputy not to let him out in
the corridor, for fear the other prison
ers would execute their threats. Greg
ory has been found guilty of assault
and sentenced to the county jail. His
time would have expired the next day
after this affray occurred. He will now
probably be retained in custody at
least until the result of Shoupe's in
juries are known.

Last Saturday the planing and shin
gle mill of Mr. 11. B. Stewart, In Knox
township, was entirely destroyed by
fire, together with about $800 worth of
worked lumber and quantities of
other stock. The fire was communi
cated from some rubbish that had been
burning near the mill, the fire in
which was thought to have died Out,
but which was fanned to life by the
wind and carried into the mill. We
have no estimate of Mr. Stewart's loss
but It is complete, he having no insur
ance, it is but two years since Mr. S,
met with a similar misfortune, in the
burning of his mill on the site of the
one just destroyed.

horse, which became frightened and
commenced to run and kick. Mr. N.
tried to head him into the fence, but in
the effort the buggy was upset, throw
ing him out upon one of the wheels
a gentleman who was in company
with him following, and adding to his
injuries by falling upon him. Mr. N
received severe injuries of the back,
and was unable to proceed homeward
until assistance was obtained. His
companion was also slightly injured
The horse released himself from the
buggy by breaking off the harness,
and came to town at break-neck
speed.
Oh the same day Mrs. Nicholson
met with an accident by which she re
ceived painful injuries. On returning
from Corsica, driving in a buggy, her
horse stumbled, drawing her over the
splash-board, Inflictingserious wounds
upon her limbs. We understand that
both are doing Well, and that Mr.
Nicholson will be about in a few days,
sufficiently recuperated tocoutinue his
canvass for the legislature.
CAMERON.
From the Press.
It will be remembered that the steal
ing by Ed. Mills and others of the rail
road crew, had been carried on syste
matically for several months. It is
now ascertained that a portion of the
goods were regularly sold to MikOlos
ky, well known to our citizens as the
Jew peddler, who hawked them
through the country. Mikolosky is
in the Lock Haven jail.
From the Sterling Gacettc,
The examination at the Central
Pennsylvania State Normal School,
Lock Haven, was a very pleasant af
fair. One who was present at the ex
ercises informs us that the graduating
class, sixteen in number, acquitted
themselves very creditably, and were
granted diplomas, Among the num
ber was Miss Ella Herrlck, of Sterling,
Cameron county. Three other stu
dents from this county attended the
school, viz., N, T. Arnold, H. D. Earl,
and Miss Sadie Strawbridge. Prof.
Raub says that if We have any more
young gentlemen and ladles as studious
and intelligent as these, they will be
very proud of them at Lock Haven.
The school Is in a iitost flourishing
condition, and With the present Boards
of Trustees and Inst ruction, is bound
to be a grand success,
