AN OLD CHESTNUT DISCOVERY : On
Tuesday while Warden Chase of the
Sullivan county jail was cleaning
out and airing cell No. 1, he
discovered tKat one of the iron bars
across the window was moved some
what and on pressing against the
same dropped out of place. An ex
amination followed revealing the fact
that the iron had been oawed off at
both ends by convicts. It is be
lieved the Shultz boys are guilty of
the deed and on learning that they
were to be bailed out did not home
ward bound. Warden Chase did not
stop here, however, but continued
his observation in cell No. 2, in
which Lincoln Edkin is remaining a
few days of his own accord. Here,
he also found that a bar had been
cut into at the top and freedom ac
cessible, but owing to the fact that
Edkin's sentinence expires in June
he too did not accept of freedom.
Considerable excitement prevailed
about town when the facts were made
known, and at least fifty people con
gregated at the scene. We were
among the observers and listened to
the remarks of lookers-on and we are
pleased to state that each and every
person present advocated the neces
sity Of a new jail. Sheriff Utz is
firm in advocating that Sullivan
county should have a more secure
place, for out-laws. While we were
standing at the window we heard a
Cherry twp., resident suggest that
the County Commissioners repair
the break with a pine stick and thus'
save expense to the county.

No organizations in the United
States have multiplied more rapidly
in the past ten years than the sick
benefit, funeral-aid, death-benefit,
and other kindred societies.
As they are generally confined to
those who art in the humbler walks
of life, the good they have done is
incalculable, carrying substantial aid
to thousands of stricken families
and inspiring those who are fortun
ate enough in being members with
a courage which might not exist in
their hearts without them. The
members of these organizations will
be glad to learn that Hon. Robert
P. Porter, Superintendent of the
Eleventh Census, will endeavor to
secure the statistics of the noble
work these associations are doing,
and it is safe t.o say that no other
branch of the census will be more
interesting. The business of gather
ing the data has been placed in
charge of Mr. Charles A. Jenney,
special agent of the insurance divis
ion. 58 William street, New York
City, and all associations through
out the United States, whether in
corporated or private, should assist
by sending to him the address of
i their principal officers.
