Falllatcr and Roclil Mafee a Oos perate Brcali for EUe ami Eibcrtj HING SING, April 21.—One of the most daring escapes ever made from Sing Sing Prison occured at 0 o'clock last night, when Thomas Pal lister and Frederick W. Roelil, two condemned murderers who were awaiting execution in the electric chair, escaped from the death house. One of the men, pulled a guard in to his cell, robbed him of his pistol and threatened to kill him with it if he made an outcry or gave an alarm. John H. llultz, the guard submitted. Pallißter, with the keys taken from Hultz, released Roehl. Roelil con dented to take his chances with Pal lister. Carlyle W. Harris had the same opportunity but refused. So did Osmond and Geoghegan, the other condemned men here. PLENTY OF TIME TO ESCAPE. Guards Hultz and John W. Mur phy, concerned in the escape ba\ e been suspended. The two men, one of whom was about to be resentenced, and the other awaiting decision on an appeal, got out of the prison at about 9 o'clock last night. Before they accomplished that they placed the two guards in cells. The guards remained there until almost 6 o'clock this morning. Not nntil then were the escapes dis covered. Both the murders had ample opportunity to escape in al most any direction they wished. STORY OF TIIE GUARDS. The story of the escape, as told by Hultz and Murphy, was to the j effect that Pallister asked Guard j Hultz for his supper and, as the bars i of the cell are so narrow, Hultz opened the door to pass it in, when Pallister blinded tlio keeper by throwing some pepper or dirt into his face. Pallister, who is a powerful fellow, overcame the keeper, took the keys of the cells from him and also his revolver, and, bbfore Hultz realized it, Pallister had dragged him into the cell and made him a prisoner by securing the door. Pallister then unlocked the cell door of Rochl, who promptly came out and sepmed to have been fully aware of tho plans for the escape. KEEPER MURPHY OVERPOWERED. "When Keeper Murphy, Hultz's partner in the night death watch, came in he was suddenly surprised by the two condemned murders, who treated him in a manner similar to the way in which Hultz had been overpowered. Murphy was soon in the cell which had just been vacated by Roehl. Ilia keys and revolver had been taken from him, and he was securly locked in a cell in the same manner as Hultz. Pallister and Roehl then unlocked the cells of condemned murderers Carlyle W. Harris, Osmond, the wife murderer, and Geoghegan, the Brooklyn murderer. Pallister and Roehl invited these three men togo with them to gain their freedom. HARRIS REFUSED FREEDOM. They refused and remained in their cells. Harris was in a nervous condition, as lie was iust recovering from a fit of sickness. Harris afterward said he saw noth ing to be gained by escaping, and as he was an innocent man he ex pected to establish this fact fully some day. His friends hope that Harris' refusing to take advantage of the opportunity of escaping will have some weight with the Gover nor in deciding his case. Pallister wanted to kill Murphy, but Roehl insisted that he should not do so, stating that if he did that he (Roehl) would kill Pallaster. Roehl said that Murphy had always treated him kindly and that he should not be harmed. THROuan THE DEATn HOUSE. Pallister and Roehl then managed to climb to the glass skylight in the roof of the death honse, which they quickly smashed and crawled through to the roof. They had little difficulty then in jumping from the death house, which is a one story building. Before they left the death house Pallister took Keeper Hultz's hat pod shoes. He tore the gold letters, 'Keeper," from the hat. Both mur derers were dressed in dark clothes, is the prisoners in the tleath house io not wear the prison garb stripes. There are 110 guards on watch out side of the prison at night, and the two condemned murderers made their way down the slope or bluff from tlie prison grounds to the shore, where they easily obtained a row boat which is used by the prison officers. In this boat they are supposed to have rowed across the river to some point at or near Nyack or Ilaver straw. RESCUE OF TIIE GUARDS. As soon as the relief watch, Keeper Dernbeckcr and another, discovered Keepers Murphy and Ilultz locked in Palllster and Koehl's cells they realized (ally what had happened. They at once released llultz and Murphy. Word was quickly sent to the house of Principal Keeper COll - who lives in the old female prison on the hill opposite the warden's office. Warden Brown and his son, Elliot Brown, were also aroused, and search was promptly instituted for the two murderers. They were easily tracked to the shore where they had secured the boat. Nothing could be seen of the boat or oars. WERE THE GUARDS BRIBER. A dispatch from New York says that Assistant District Attorney Mc In tyre, who tried Iloehl's case in the Court of General Sessions, looked very grave when informed that the convicted murder had escaped from Sing Sing. He said : "Boehl will be a hard man to capture. He Is a dangerous man to be at large, and you will remember that he tried to kill me at the time of the trial. I am inclined to believe that he had out side assistance in order to effect his escape." "Do you mean that the guards were bribed ?" asked the reporter. "1 mean," said Mr. Mclntyre, "that Boehl's brother arrived in this country last week with $14,000 in gold and with the expressed intent ion of liberating his brother." "Whether he used this money in helping his brother to liberty, I can not say at this moment." Lwyer E. Townsend Goldberg, who defended Roehl, said that on April 12 he took Iloehl's brother up to the prison to see the murderer. They went to Boehl's cell and his brother talked to him in some for eign tongue. The guards were most negligent during the interview. MUKDEK IN HER HEART. A Mother Narrowly Escapes Be ing Killed by Her ti-Year-Old Child. Starkville, Miss., April 23. What came near being a murder unique, in 'all probability*, in the history of crime, happened here a day or two ago. Mrs. Helena Mal terson, the wife of Major J. G. Mat terson, a prominent lawyer and prop erty-holder of this vicinity, under took to correct her little daughter, a child of six years, when the little one, runing to a desk belonging to her father, hurriedly opened a drwer and drawing from it a revolver pointed it at her mother, crying that she was going to "kill mamma." Mrs. Matterson, knowing that the weapon was loaded, looked every moment for tho child to pull the trigger, and, realising that her only chance lay in strategy, began to weep and to appeal to the little girl's good feelings. This soon succeeded, and, replac ing the revolver, the child's features relaxed, and, hastening to her mother, she threw her arms about her and wept in penitence. As soou as possible the lady removed the weapon beyond the little spitfire's reach, and talked to her of the wrong she had committed, but Mrs. Matter son declares that for a few moments the child had murder in her heart toward her, and that but for her readiness to divert her thoughts Bhe would have died at her childs hands. The little one's father killed a man a few mo*ths before her birth, and, though acquitted, this episode has made so great an impression on him that he has joined the church and publioly professed his penitence.

HARDWARE of any quantity and price- Jere. Kelly, HUGHESVILLE, - FA. -W C T A DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED BY MEMBKIIS OF THE W. C. T. A. SOCIETY OF LAPORTE, FA. The drink question in Germany is becoming one of the ackowledged importance in its political economy. Professor Schmoiler, of Berlin, an able political economists, thus writes: "Among our working people the conditions of domestic life, of edu cation, of prosperity, of progress or degradation are all dependent on the proportion of income which flows down the father's throat. The whole condition of our lower and middle classes—one may even, with out exaggeration, say the future of our nation—depends on this ques tion. If it is true that half of our paupers become so through drink, it gives us some estimate of the costly burden which we tolerate. No other of our vices bears comparison with this." The Ureal Lentbcr t'ombine-Oue Hundred millions In it. The Hancock Herald says that its reporter interviewed Thos. Crary and Wm. A. Hall, Tuesday, relative to the newly organized combination of sole leather tanners. The gentle men did not believe the combination would materially effect the price of leather. All the hides wil be bought by one set of men at a great Baving to the individual operators to whom they are to be delivered, and another set of men will find a market for all manufactured leather. The expense of selling the leather is five per cent, of its value, and the individual tan ners have had it talked to them that practically all the expense will be saved them. Each tannery will go into the trust and its owners will take its value in shares of trust stock. It is alleged that Thomas Proctor, of the Proctor Leather company, will direct the operations of the gigantic corporation, which will represent a capital of fully $100,000,000. Agents of the pool are expected in town any time to examine the Crary plant, itß capacity, equipment, land titles, etc. The tanneries whose legal titles are beiug examined in this vicinity are : Chemung county, the Palmer & Decker tannery, Elmira, and the 11. M. Loscy tannery at Wellsburg. Steuben couuty, Germania tannery at Lindley, the tannery at South Addison, and the Curtis tannery at Campbell. Tioga county, the A. J.
