The Brooklyn Eagle of rwt-nt lut?
contained thlsdispatchfrom Klverhead
Mass., with reference to Swindler Las-
telle, who is unpleasantly remembered
in this city:
"It became known here toiluy Dial
t'laiule Ft. I.ascelle, (lie notorious hII-

live of IJre8ldent Cleveland, and who

made a bold attempt to escape from tho
prison yesterday and nearly succeeded.
"The Suffolk county fair has been in
progress here and all the farmers have
v lulled the jail. Lasrelle took from he
f.veen the wiles of his shoe a piece of
. metal, which he ground to an edge on
the walls of his cell. With this he
hacked off his luxuriant side whiskers.
leaving a stubble growth such as is
characteristic of the visiting farmers.
Having beon allowed the run of the
jnil, he went Into the riflls of other
prisoners and took such pieces of Wear
ing apparel as would help his rustle
make-up, threatening the, other prison
ers with death If they exposed him be
fore he got out.
When Jailer Hafford admitted a big
crowd of farmers, Lascelle assumed a
shambling tiflk and mingled with
them. The visitors were let out one at
a time. Hufford looked at Lascelle
sharply, and the big door was slammed
and the bolts shot into their sockets
in a hurry.
"Lascelle said he was just seeing how
far he could carry a Joke. Now he is
hackled hand and foot, and denied all
privileges of the corridors."

LADIES' BOX CALF SHOES.
Our ladies' shoes for fall and winter
ear are something new. They are
made of a new lightweight material
called "Box Calf," and we haje them
lu lace and button, with' good heavy
soles, so they can be worn without
rubbers if necessary. Box calf will
not wet through and is besides, good
and serviceable. These shoes are made
with the new toe, which is very com
fortable as well a stylish. We have
these shoes in lace, exra high, for
skating purposes. 'e also carry a
full line of them for misses and chil
dren, made up with the same style or
toe, They are the best shoes for school
that can be bad. We have them in

when through. In speaking of general
sporting aftairs In New York Mike last
night said:
"Boxing just now is booming In the
Empire state. The new Morton law
which authorized legalized clubs to
hold contests Is one of the best ever
passed. The old Coney Island club has
been abandoned for the time being. I
am now matched to meet "Kid" Mc
Partland at O'Rourke's Broadway club.
The "Kid" defeated Jimmy Handler,
a protege of Bob Fltzsimmons at the
Union Park club opening Monday
night.
"I quit training at College Point
Tuesday. It Is the only training place
in the vicinity of New York at pres
ent and there are nearly twenty men
preparing themselves for contests
there. The best known are Henry
Baker, who Is to meet Pan Creedon,
George tKId) Lavinge, "Scaldy Bill"
and Joe Wolcott. who meet next Mon
day night; Casper Ieon and Jimmy
Barry and a long list or lesser lights.
My trainer, Harry Tuthill, who Is
training the most of these men will
arrive here tomorrow., night to take
charge of my work."
Word comes from Plttston that Judge
Is working hard every day for the
contest which will take place Satur

MTH MLDlNBAIL.
Mrs. Westpfahl and McLaughlin Could
Not Furnish Security and Were
Sent to the County Jail.
Alderman C. C. Donovan gave Mrs.
William Wesipfahl and William Mc
Loughlln a hearing last night. The
evidence proved to him that they should
be held to answer In court and he bound
them, the woman in the sum of $1,000,
and her paramour in the sum of $500,
which neither could, furnish, and they
were sent back to the county jail. Mrs.
Westpfahl is charged with bigamy and
unlawful relations. McLoughlln Is not
married and was charged only with un
lawful relations.
John Achter, of Hazletou, her first
husband, was present and was Bworn.
He testified that they were married at
Hazleton on December 30. 1877, by Rev.
K. A. Buuer, of that place, and he pro
duced his marriage certillcate to prove
it. He said they are not divorced yet,
but the proceedings are pending and
he hojies to secure release from the tie
that binds him to her before very long.
She deserted him five ir six years ago.
William Westpfahl, husband No. 2,
was sworn. He met her at a picnic at
Mountain Lake last summer and she
was introduced as Miss Elizabeth Early
to him. Her manner captivated him
and he asked her hand In marriage. She
gave him her two hands and professed
to love him deeply. On August 12 last
they were married by Rev. Willtum A.
Nordt, pastor of Hickory Street Pres
byterian church.
Matters went along happily for a few
Weeks. He brought her home to reside
over his household and care for the
children of his first wife. He never
suspected but that she meant to servo
him with absolute fidelity, until a
month ago. one evening he came home
and found her gone, with $40 of his
money. When he heard she was living
with McLoughlin in Green Ridge he
had warrants sworn out for their ar
rest. In looking through her trunk he
found papers showing that she had
been married in Hazleton, and as she
always led him to believe she was sin
gle, it occurred to him after he found
out she was married to Achter that
Achter might be alive, nnd he Investi
gated. In that way the Hazleton hus
band was brought here as a witness.
Mrs. Sarah Kane, of New York street,
was sworn as a witness. With her Mc
Loughlin and the woman boarded since
the latter left Westpfahl. The witness
testified that the defendants occupied
the same room In her house and she
took it for granted that they were man
and wife.
There Was a, charge against West
pfahl that he assaulted and battered
her and threatened to kill her before
she left hlui. but It was dismissed by
the alderman, there being no evidence
to sustain It. Senator J. C. vaughau
appeared as uttorney for Westpfahl.

H. L. HALLSTEAD'S BARN BURNED.
Was Filled with Hay, tiraia and
Valuable Farm Implements.
A large barn In Benton township
owned by H. L. Hallstead was entirely
destroyed by tire yesterday morning at
3 o clock. The cause ot the tire Is un
known. The barn was filled with hay. grain
nnd valuable farming Implements all
of which were consumed. Mr. Hall
stead's loss amounts to several thou
sand dollars.
JOHN'S LEVEL HEAD.
We're not a great admirer
of John Wanamaker as a
candidate for Don Camer
on's Job; but as a merchant
0 he certainly knows his bust-
ness. He does his heaviest
advertising as a rule wheu
J trade is dull; when It's live-
ly he figures that people will
come to trade anyhow. Re-
suit: the richest shopkeeper
in America. There's no rea
son why John's plan
shouldn't work as well in
Seranton as in Dave Mar
tin's town.

is unlike textile fabrics.
Tottery is long-enduring, the
hangings of a room may fade and
