Tbe fire companiea re- eponded pnimptly to the alarm and the ding doc j of ihfeir boee carriages added to the general din and Oourusion. Par haps ten minutes passed before it became known tDat there had been a jail delivery and that Sheets and Walker bad escaped. Then there was a wild rush through tbe darkness towards tbe prison. No person, except M i Say lor, had seen Sheets after he eacapod, but Mrs. Harry Pile, whose home is at tbe corner of North street and Couit alley beard tha foot falia of two meu as they dashed down the alley in a northerly directum. N Sheriff Say lor was in Berlin and in re sponae to a telephone message made a forced drive from there to Somerset in 43 minutes. As soon a he reached home, a few minutes before 0 o'clock he started a number of men through the country to spread tbe alarm and to-ootify the people to be on tbe lookout for Sheets. Before midnight nearly every fanner living along tbe public roads between here and Jeoners had been aroused and told of S beets' s daring break. Other parties were seat ia all directions to make the new known to tbe people. Sheriff Saylor re turned to town at 9 o'clock Friday morn ing and aa soon as he had a fresh team hitched up left with (ieorge L. Davis for Sheep Ridge, word Laving come from Liatie that Stieeta had been 'L-) crossing the RiJe. Tnis rumor taruI out to be unfounded. Messages were sent Thursday night to Johnstown, I.ig nier, Mt Pleasant, Greesburg and other places requesting officers of the law to keep asharp lookout for Sheets. The first anl-general 'mpresaion was that Waiser woufi, and he perhaps Las, conducted Sheets to the mountain buck of Jeuneruwn, where he is familiar with every r.iadanJ by path aud with many secret bidmg places. A few people adaere to the theory that Sheets and Walker, as-eoon as they heard j tbe court belt ring, knew tbat the Jail officials and the poblic had learned of their escape, and at ooce broke for cover, secreting themselves in a barn or stable where they remained hidden until the following night, when they made their way to the Lome of some one of tbeir friends, where they are now being har bored. Tbe two remaining inmates of tbe jail plead ignorance of any plaus tbat Shaets and W .lker may have made. They insist that tbe window bars must have been sawed from the outside, claiming that if Sheets and Walker bad done tbe work they would have known of it. They also iasiHt that they did not kuow that Sheet and Walker cad escaped nutii tbey were informed of the fact by the deputy Sheriff. Notwithstanding tre professed ignorance of the meu now confined in jail everything ga to show that the escape had been carefully planned, aud it isquile orobable that Sheets and Walker werd prepared to leave days before, but post poncd action until the most favorable mioute. They Lad carefully removed the fuse from the electrics light connection in order that the corridor aad their cells would be in darkness Thursday night. Deputy-Sheriff Biker believes that bad he gone into the prison, which be would hivebeeo obliged to do a few minutes alter the escaape, for the purpose of lock i ig tb prisoners in their ceils. Sheets and Walk.- would have assaulted him. Ovmgto the frequent reoeut rains it ia im.jossibie to form any positive opinion aa to when the window bars were aawed. aa I ii Is impossible to tell whether they were sawed frota tbe ouuida or inside, b it tbe m nt reasonable del action is that tbe work was done frotfl tbe outside.

Taey were recaptured two or threediya lawr la barn ciote to town. Qaeer, who followed a.ter them, alo felling from the oirufce to tbe ground, di-d from tbe effacts of the fall. Sheriff Saylor has and is making every possible eJort to run d-wn bxb Sheets and Walker, but np uatU this time bas beei nnabie to secure any clue aa to -be whereabouts of either of tb?m.

We doubt if any Lave yet been made ia tbe entire State. When they ar made fr this district tbey will be appoiuted by tbe Supervisor who certainly will not be in fiaenced in his selection by Mr. Joseph E. Thropp. The effort of Mr. Thropp ana nis uemocralic allies to make it ap pear, in their effort to make political cap- ital, that Mr. Thropp will control thes appointments id cbiiiib. What appoint meet, of any kind, did Mr. Thropp ever give to Somerset county? If he has con trolled any Federal appointments tbey certainly have not been given to Somer set county. Judging from the result of the recent primaries in Bedford county Mr. Thropp had considerable trouble in controlling hi own vote. He certainly u:d not control or recoive tbe votes of many of his neighbors, nor can he con trol or influence any votes in Somerset county ia behalf of Lis proxy candidate, Mr. Kooser, by willful in iarep restora tion and claiming to control appointments that he has absolutely nothing to do with aua can not possibly innaence. e re- post, no appointments of Ceusus Enu merators have been made for aay county in this censas district, and when they are m td tbey will be made by tbe supervisor soie:y ou tbe merit of tbe applicant. eutirely free from dictation by Joseph E. Tbro.ip or his proxy candidate, F. J, Kooeer. Anl while on this subject, what ap pointments, federal or State, have Messrs. Thropp, Koontz, Kendall or Knoser ever procured for any of their supporters? They have been most pro- Hie in tbeir promises, tia true, but their promise have never materialize). It will be recalled how the Insurgentorgana last spring, aoout primary election time. published time and again statements of Fe-Ittral positions tbat Mr. Thropp was going to control and how they were going to fall into the ever open maws of the faithful Ins irgents in Siinerset cojnty. L.ery Insurgent maw is at ill open and pluuiles. When Koonfx aud Kendaii wore elected to tbe Legislature, they had promises out tbat would have fiikd t ic overaii the positions ia lb gif: of the Legislature. Caa any one name tbe par ty located at II arris bur u by these gentle men. It was certainly not our venerable irieua M. Ii. Harues, who was so sore that the promise made him was not a gold brick, but (be genuiue article, that he went to Harrisburg at the openiug of tbe Legislature fully expelling to tay during the session. He found to his sorrow tbat he bad been a victim of deceit and du- Tieily on the part of his supposed friends and returned home a poorer but ier mau. Koontz aud Kendaii were ab.-o-huoly powerless to rotrol tbe appoiut meat of a "paster and folder." aad it ouid be tbe same this year, should tbey be re-elected. Wbat care have tbey lot their constituents so long as they caa do tbe bid ling ot tbe Pituburg and Pbila- Ipbia Millionaire Iksis, 'boss" Fiino and los," Martin. A g.iod titue during the session, a baaquet or two at its close and to be allowed to assist ia presenting loving cup" to one of their "bosses"' is all tbey appear, by tbeir pt record, to care for; to hades with securir.gJappoint- inents or attending to tue wants or wishes of their constituent.
