ed the gas exploded and his face
and bauds were terribly burned.
His long beard was burned entirely off,
and tor a while it was feared he would lose
bis eyesight. He was brought home last

dred thousand dollars of the people's mon

please everybody in everything, it was ex

Mills' Escape.
Shortly after 8 o'clock last Friday even
ing a boy ran down street shouting "run
to the jail, the prisoners arc escaping, the
prisouers are on the roof," and in a few
minutes the jail was surrounded by several
hundred men and boys of the towu. A
new,five eightsincUropew ■ round htngii g
Irom the north side, and it was thought, at
first, that some ol th.i prisoners wore yet
on the roof, but that proved to be a mis
take, as the six who wanted to go had al
ready gone, and the others were in the
jail room.
The names of those who escaped w.-re
James F. Mills, ctargud with the murder
of Dugan; T. J. Black, charged wiih F. «fc
8.. Jesse Smith, larceny ol money from
S. McGarvey; Charles Miller, cnarged
with F. <£ B . Joseph Gibson, chaiged with
larcency, and Jaines Britin charged
with larceny of money at Lowry House,
the last two are colored men.
At noon next duy young Geo. Liinberg.
son of Rev. L., came to towu and told of
two men, one of whom looked like Mills,
having slept in their barn over night, and
quite a party started iu pursuit through
the woods north ea>t of town, searching
barns, etc. as they went The party con
sisted of Detective Allen Col Reiiic, Mat.
Leible and Jas. Orris, all mounted. They
went in couples, and when they came to
an old vacant house uear Oneida station :
on the Shenango K. R , Redie remained ;
behind the house while Allen went to the j
I rout, and just as ho reached the door
Suiith cauie out. Allen covered him with
his pistol aud ordered him to surrender,
which Smith was willing to do, but just
then Alleu looked toward the window aud
saw tnat Mills had him covered, and he
dropped oil his horse and rail back to Ked-
IC; the track was theu clear lor both men
to escape and they ran op the wooded ra
vine, Mills leadiug. Smith got tired and
bid in a fallen tree top, aud Redic aud
Allen passed him, jkml followed Mil's who
waded up the run and hid under a
ruck, and his pursuers lost his track aud
left hiin there. Farmer Hendricks and
his son followed after the party and fouud
Smith bid in the tree top,and brought him
to town. Smith says that mills arranged
the escape; that the hole iu the ceiliug of
his cell was sawed by Black and others;
that wheu everything was ready last Fri
day eveniug the piece ol iron, which is
only about a quarter of an inch thick, was
broken out; that Mills let a string down
from the back window o( the jail aud pull
ed up the rope which was turnished by
somebody on the outside, and it was slip
ped up through the bole and tied to a rat
ter near the hole they bad made in the
roof, the end let down, the opportunity
watched for, and when it came they went
out. Mills went first and he followed,
and as soon as he lauded. Mills told him
he must go with him. They struck out
lor the Soenaugo R. R , but made a mis
take, as neither knew the road aud took
one of the roads leading north from town
aud went out several miles, then finding
their mistake headed eastward and south
southward and got to the hill north east
of town about la. m.. They wero very
tired and crawled into Limberg's barn ami
slept in the hay mow till after 10 o'clock
next day, Mills' leet were sticking out of
the hay aud youug Liinberg saw them aud
awakeued him, and not knowing who
they were got them something to eat.
Theu thev took off through the woods aud
were restiug in the old house when Allen
aud Redic came up to them. They saw
them coming aud were about to leave
when Allen reach d the frout door. Mills
covered Allen, he ran back and they ran
up the hollow. He was glad to get rid of
Mills, who had a pistol aud said be would
not be takeu alive
The escape occurred about 8 p. in and
just alter the Sberiil left the house, aud
the family got their first word of it from
John W. Higginss (iu jail for wife beating)
who rattled the jail door till be attracted
Mrs. Brown's attention and then told her
that the prisoners were escapiug.
Britiu was arrested at Callery Junction
next morning by Messrs. Sutton aud Daub
enspeck who had driven there during the
night.and was broug.it back aud locked up;
but be would divulge nothiug. Black was
caught in a leed box in Renfrew.
After the trail of Mills was lost near
Oneida Saturday night, tracks were fol
lowed through Clay, Coucord, Donegal
and Fairview twps. to East Brady, but
East Btady, but they proved to be those
of a harmless lunatic.

ing the retiring members, but that was
ruled out of order, and the resolutions
passed; and then Mr. Vogel's resolution re
garding the retiring members were passed.
President Black responded in a little
speech, thanking the Councilmen for their
courtesy, telling them they were as intel
ligent a body of Councilmen as could be
found anywhere, and that the resolution
reached a tender spot in his heart.
Solicitor Campbell, in bis r*sponse refer

At Ripley, X. Y , John McCandless of
Slippery rock and Hannah McCandless of
Whitestown, Peb 26. 1802; ot this wedding
the Slippery Ruck Signal says: The story
of their courtship and marriage reads like
a romance. The bride had been visiting
her husband's sister through the past
winter and this is where the groom first
became acquainted with bride. It was a
case of love at first sight. Miss McCand
less' parents are dead and a guardian was
appointed. He opposed the union, as the
bride is possessor of considerable property
and not yet of age, but love breaks down
all barriers, and the young couple deoided
to take matters into their own hands,
which they did with the result as above
stated.
