CONDITION OF STRF.FTS.
That Providence Is the oldest sec
tion of the city may be easily proven
by the streets. Many of them are as
they were when Just laid out. They
are uiiRraded and almost unmade. No
repard has been paid to adjoining and
neighboring streets oft-times In the
opening out of streets for business pur
poses. As a result, pools of stagnant
water are common in many neighbor
hoods, but nowhere are there more
dangerous ones than those to be found
on Perry avenue.
On this street, which Is one of the
oldest In the city, are two pools. One
Is directly In front of the No. 1'4 school
house, which Is attended by over a

vate .Miller on Saturday, the plot to
free the men would have been put into
execution that night.
It Is supposed that the prisoners ob.
tallied the magazine key In the hope,
that the guards might be deprived of
ammunition. When the cartridges of
the prisoners were examined It waff
found that the powder had been re
moved from four of them, and knife
blades had been Inserted in the lend.
The lead evidently had been melted and
the knife blades soldered In.
The sergeant who commanded the
guard over the prison has been placed
under arrest, hut he Is not believed to
have been Implicated In the plot. Sen
tinel Stace also has been placed under
arrest, and it Is probable that he will
be punished for permitting .Miller to
escape.
