Mississippi merits the credit of doing more to break up the brutal prize ring than any other one State, or indeed all the other States and Territories in the union. Mississippi has achieved the honorable distinction of stripping the prize ring of its honors. All honor to Mississippi. Let every other State and Territory In the union thus honor itself. The majesty of Mississippi law has happily been vindicated by the conviction of the prize ring sluggers. Prize fighting is one of the most grevious Of crimes, which has heretofore been given undue publicity. Pugilistic achievement is a false glory, and has a poisonous effect on young men, leading them from the path of an honorable way of earning a living. No matter who the man who earns a' living in this way is a disgrace to humanity and a stigma upon civilization. A man who earns a living by giving exhibitions of his brute strength is, we reiterate, a disgrace to the com munity in which he lives, and a stigma upon our civilization. Now let Mississippi punish Kilrain and the chief backers of both the pugilists. Let them share the same fate, and let all honor be given to Mississippi. THE IIATTEE OF NORTH I'OIN'T. The anniversary of that memorable rev olutionary event in the war of 1813-14, the battle of North Point, will be celebrated this year in grander style than ever be fore.* The interest,beginning on Monday, September 9th, will be devoted to brilli ant military and civic displays, and a big exposition of the arts and industries of the State of Maryland will be held in Pimlico. The civic and industrial procession will take place on the lirst day, which will be the greatest display. In this civic and in dustrial procession will be an array of live hundred sons, grand-sons and great frand-sons of the defenders of Baltimore. Tins section of the parade will include handsome floats representing scenes of the revolution and notable events in the history of Baltimore. There will also be a parade of three I thousand employes of the Baltimore A Ohio and of the Pennsylvania Uailroad employes. On twenty tloats will be rep resentatives of (lie wonders of modern railroad transportation and the progress made since the time Peter Coop .r ma the first locomotive out of Baltimore on the Baltimore <fc Ohio road. BLUE BM>OI> NOT INFAEI.AttLE. Blue blood, docs not insure its posses sor against the consequences of lis own lolly. A blue blood fool will c >me to j grief the same as another fool. This fact is illustrated in the Hamilton-Donnelly tragedy. A sensation romance of real life is disclosed in the history of the fam ily of Robert Kay Hamilton. lie was the son of General Schuyler llano: on, a nephew of the celebrated phvsican MeLain Hamilton and grandson of Alex ander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treas ury of the United States under George Washington, and who was killed in a | duel by Aaron Burr. This blue blood son has sown the wind and is reaping the whirlwind. There is a moral in tin: story of Robert Ray Hamilton, a moral which is obvious and unmistakable. The man who links himself matrimonially with an abandoned woman, i an offence from which be wil j pay tlie penalty. The Atlantic City tragedy affair lias i caused a great sensation in blue blood I society. The Democratic smirch in the Flack j case, finds its equivalent Republic in | smirch in the Hamilton episode.

ALMOST GONE ! THE PRISONER* MAKE A HOLE IN THE JAIL WALL. A Well Laid Flan For a General Jail I>e- Llvery Thwarted—The Work I>ntte in the Condemned Cell With Good Tools FurnUlied hy VUltorft. Somerset Standard. The greatest excitement prevailed throughout the town and vicinity at noon on Wednesday when it was learnbd that a general jail delivery lud been prevented by mere accident. About 10 o'clock Wednesday morning Sheriff McMillcn entered the corridor of the jail where he wes inet by youug Lchr who handed liun a telegram and a9ked that it be sent at once. The Sheriff who had entered the jail to look about, as he did each morning, turned and passed out to comply with Lehr's request. Outside of the building he met a party of young ladies accompanied by Mr. R. E. Meyers who asked permission to take the party into the jail. The Sheriff replied that he was going down town on important busi ness and referred the party to his Deputy, Mr. Milt McMillen who entered the jail witli the party. At the East end of the upper tier of ceils is one knowu as the " condemned cell," which has not been used lately. The hasp of the outer door of the cell has been broken, but the inner door has been fastened with a padlock. The outer door, which lias but a small hole in it about six feet from the bottom, though it could not be locked, was kept closed, and the Dep uty Sheriff in making his rounds of in spection, would walk to this door and glance through the hole in it merely as a matter of form, as the lock could always bo seen hanging in the staple. On the | morning above named, while the visitors were looking about the jail and talking to the prisoners, the Deputy wa'ked to I In condemned cell, and, lortunately, pulled open the outer door. The inner dooi is of open ironwork, and through this he saw enough to convince him that an at tempt to escape had been made. H turned to the lock and found that, thoug • it was in position and apparently locked, it had been "picked," the staple remove ! from the bar which holds the inner door, i this liar removed and the staple and lock replaced so that with the outer door clost > 1 1 everything appeared to lie secure. Fulling ' open the inner door Mr. .McMillen found I on the Itoor of the cell a brace, two bits, I an ohl butcher knife and a two-prong j iron fork about eighteen inches long. In:- ' mediately inside the door to the right and near the floor the prisoners had made an opening about twenty inches square by boring through six inches of hard wood aud removing three eoarses of brick, ! leaving but the ouside course which ] could have been easily pushed out when j i the proper time arrived. In the cell were also found three or four blankets and J j three sheets, the latter being tied to- j getlier to be used iu the escape from the opening to the ground. The blankets were no doubt used to prevent sound. Just above the opening was written: •' Good by Milt old Boy " " Liberty or Death hurra" " Dont cry Milt- On the right of the door going into the cell was written : " This thing can be done Right if every man dose is part well." Snortly after the discovery had been made Henry Garno, one of the prisoners charged with robbery, told Deputy Sheriff McMillen that he had done the work aud that the tools had been given to him hy one < f tlie m my visitors who called on the prisoners on Thursday of last week. Garno, better known as " Shorty," in an interview later iu the day with a Stand- ! ard reporter, denied any knowledge of! the work, saying, he "only told the Depu-! ty that for a joke." On Friday, one week ago, the day after the tools are supposed to have been taken ! to the jail, tlie deputy, while eating din -1 ncr heard an unusual noise in tlie jail and I stationed himself near the door to ascer tain its cause : but young Lelir and a ne ' gro prisoner were near the door singing j and making such a noise that lie could bear nothing else. This is now supposed j to have been a ruse on the part of tlie two | prisoners to drown any noise that might ' have been made by whoever was working in the condemned cell. Oil Monday last blieriff McMillen was showing a gentleman through the jail, and as he came out from the cell adjoin- 1 injr, and started toward the cell in which the opening was made, John O'lirien, a pal of Garno'a in the Rockwood robbery, fell on the Moor below, and two or three of the prisoners rushed to his assistance. The sheriff, believing the rnaii to have fallen in a fit, abandoned his purpose of going into the cell and hurried down stairs to assist in getting Hie man to Ins bed. After a short time O'Brien recov ered, and the sheriff passed out of the jail. This is now, also, believed to have been a clever trick to attract the sheriff's attention and keep him from entering the cell. The prisoners have been locked in their cells by Sheriff McMillcn or his Deputy at 9 o'clock each night, at which time the night watchman lias been locked in the corridor ; the break for liberty, therefore, would have been made before that time. Wendnesday night was the one set for es cape, and it is believed there had been a preconcerted plan by which tlie prisoners were to bo assisted by their friends, in making the escape after they reached the | outskirts of the town ; but the plan was : nipped in the bud and the prisoners, es | pccially the Nicelys, seem more dejected a id hopeless than at any time since their arrest. i If the prisoners are kept within the " ills of the jail hereafter it will be by the '■"ose watch which Bheriff McMillen has j determined to place over them and not by any resistence that the old jail may offer. I Sheriff McMillen's task is a greater one than the citizens of the county should im pose upon him, and yet many are " kick ing " against the jail being rebuilt. The Commissioners have been thug placed be tween two fircß ; ye t we believe them to be men of intelligence, who, seeing their duty, will not be swerved therefrom. An Old Resident Ret urn* and Goes Into llua iness. Gallltzln vindicator. ' In 1861, just twenty-eight years ago, Hon. Daniel McLaughlin, who was en caged in the mercantile business on what is now known as Tunnelhill street, in the building now occupied by Mr. Michael T. Kelly, left with his family for Johnstown, where he began the practice of law, and has since won himself a reputation as an a bio lawyer. When the fearful flood swept down the Conemaugh Valley Mr- McLaughlin was one of the few who,with his family, escaped, only to find them selves next morning with scarcely suffici ent clothing to protect them from the in i clemency of the weather. Though bereft of all their earthly possessions, Mr. Mc- Laughlin and family did not give up hope, j but commenced to look around for some | (dace where they, in common with many j of the flood sufferers, could begin life j anew. It is but natural that they should I select Gallitzin, where they spent so many | years of their lives, and where they had j so many friends to bid them welcome. Mr. McLaughlin, though loosing his very I valuable library as well as all else he pos sessed, began in earnest to look after his profession,and his amiable wife determin ed to be equally energetic, and has there , lore purchased the bakery, confectionery and restaurant of Mr. Dunkle, opposite the Vindicator office,where she is now do ing a nice and rapidly increasing business* lining a lady of refinement and excellent business qualifications, she cannot fail of success, and licr numerous friends who i now of the family's loss in the flood 1 < une far and near to patronize her. The I indicator wishes her success in her new J undertaking, and hope that she, with the rest of the family, will soon overcome j their loss in the great Johnstown disaster. Death of Mr. Dnvlii Diliert. ! The illness of Mr. David Dibert, at Ridge View Camp, Millwood, terminated i n his death Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. Mr. Dibert has been in poor health for some time and while at the eampmeeting | became ill of fever. The fever left him a ! week ago, but kidney trouble succeeded jit and caused his death. His body will ' arrive on the Day Express ou Sunday and J will probably be brought to the Franklin ! street M. E. Church, where service will he held. Interment will be at Grand View. Mr. Dibert was aged about sixty three years. He was a son of John and Racliael Dibert, and was born at Htan ton's Mills (Dibertsville) in Somerset county, being one of eight children. When a young man he became a tanner. In about the year 1850, he married Miss Griffith, of Jenner township, and coming to Johnstown ran the old Keim & Co baugh tannery, bought by these gentle men from him. After this he became a merchant, first on the South Side and afterward in the Mansion House. For a while was the partner of his son, Mr. Scott Dibert in the shoe business. Lately ho has lived a retired life looking after his extensive property here and in the West. His family consisted of ten children, nine of whom survive together with Mrs. Di bert. They are Frank, of Kansas, Scott, Bertie, Mary Rachael, Walter, Florence, | Grant, Antue and David. Mr. Dibert was i one of the wealthiest of our citizens, a • good man in the community, and took a | lively interest in all public matters. He will long be remembered. Not Dead, but I.lveth. Mr. Jatues Daily, representing the large blank book firm of William Murphy's Sons. Philadelphia, is well-known to a number of our professional men, having made several trips per year for a number of years, soliciting work for the firm he represented. He left, this town on the I'Oth of May last for the ill-fated city of Johnstown. A few days later a casket passed the railroad station, on which was plainly inscribed "Remains of James Daily, to William Murphy's Sons, Phila delphia." About this time Captain Ilar -1 rison received a telegram from the firm, making inquiry relative to Daily. The , Captain replied that the papers had given his name as one of the men lost in the great flood, and that the remains had I passed through this place en route for I i'liiladclpliia. Imagine Sir. Harrison's surprise when one day this week he re ceived a business letter from Philadel phia, written by Mr. Daily himself. It is useless to say that Captain Harrison was astonished. If these were times of mira cles t might he presumed he had arisen from tin- dead : to make the best of it, it is a most singular coincidence. --Somerset Standard. aieKeespurt's I 1."...1 lii.ii.ilions.

DR. ROBINSON, FORMERLY OF AL TOONA ACCUSED CF THEFT. Some Interesting Fact* Cunecrnlnn the Whereabout of the Doetor—Conneeteil With the Itoard of Health In Our City. The following was taken from the Al toona Timex of Wednesday,concerning Dr Robiuson : on Monday morning Chlel-of-Pollce Harris from Johnstown came to this city In search of Dr. Robinson, formerly of AttoonaC'lty Hospital who had been In some prominent connection with the Board of Health In that death-scourged city. By some means, It Is charged, there came Into Dr. Itohtnson's hands checks or other com mercial paper to the amount of about one thou sand dollars, which he converted to his own use. On his return to this city. It Is Intimated that he made some sort of a statement to a trlend, of the situation, and both were carefully looking out for breakers. The Johnstown oltlcer called on Dr. Fay nrst, to whom he had been directed for Information and learned that Dr. ltoblnson was stopping with Dr. shinier, on calling on the latter gentleman, It was learned that Dr, Robinson was not In. in some way however, he succeeded In learning of his Intended arrest and secured the services of Mr. Mervlne, one of the brightest attorneys of the city. An hour or two later, the Doctor was a nested on Tenth avenue and a brief examination by the keen eyed attorney demoustra ted that the warrant had not been endorsed, and that the arrest was technically Illegal. There was no alternative left but release tbe prisoner, who promised the Altoona Cblef-of-Pollce to meet him yesterday morning at 10:30 at the Brant House, which, however, he fatted to do, and In answer to tho telegrams received yesterday from Johnstown, the city authorities could only say that the Doctor could not be found. It Is to be hoped that the accused man can establish his inno cence and show himself free from such an of fence. t Dr. Robinson was one of tho leading physicians on the stuff of our Board of Health, while in this city, and he lias al ways had the reputation of being an hon est man—won the confidence of a number of citizens while in Altoona and in Johns town; but,owing to the late trouble which lias conic to light in the past week,throws a bad gloom over his past reputation. It appears that the particulars oi Robin son's absence were tried to be surpresscd but they have come forward .after two weeks' A DEMOCRAT reporter called at the police station yesterday af ternoon to interview Chief-of-Police Har ris, on the aU important matter, but owing to Mri Harris being out of the city, we could not obtain any information, but was qiiietly told that he was on the track of Robinson. Leaving the police station, and deter mined on hunting up the facts of the case, proceeded to the office of the State Roard of Health, located on Franklin and Lincoln streets,where we had the extreme pleasure of meeting Mr. J. E. Sill, who substantially said that Dr. Robinson, was in his estimation, an honest and up right man, and when asked concerning the money that was supposed to have been stolen he said : "Doc. Robinson never had the handling of the money, as it was j deposited in the First National j Bank, and no person could draw | any of the money with the j exception of Dr. I.ec, and then after it j was drawn turned over to Robinson." Mr. Sill further stated that he did not think he (Robinson) was short fifty cents one way or the other, and he firmly believed that lie was out on a drunk, and was ashamed to turu up. It appears that Robinson's wife is in a terrible state of mind over iier husband's wayward course. Mrs. Robinson is an elegant woman in every sense of the word, J and well connected, licr parents living in ) Philadelphia, where she is at the present j time. Dr. Robinson was employed at the Bed ford street hospital before the flood; when the State Board of Health established their offices after the flood, lie volunteered to give his services, and from what we can understand, his polite ways, and slick tongue was the means of getting hold of the money that was supposed to have been taken by him. After obtaining all the facts we could- Mr. Sill politely gave us au invitation to go through their building, which was fur nished very' neatly, and everything was nice and clean. She Provcil ail Alibi lor Him. From the Preston Times. A farmer had some wheat stolen a few nights since, and he was so sure that lie knew who the thief was that lie came in to town and secured a warrant for a cer tain young man living near him. When ! the case came up for trial the defendant said he could prove au alibi. In order to do this he had brought in "his girl"—a buxom lass of twenty-two. She took the stand and swore that he sat up with her from seven in the evening until broad daylight next morning. " People can be very easily mistaken," observed the plaintiff's lawyer. " I don't carc—lie was there," she re plied. " What did you talk about ? " •' Love! " she promptly answered. " What time did the old folks go to bed ? " " I gave 'em the wink about ten." " Sure ho was there at midnight, are i you ? " " Yes, sir." '4 Why are you sure c " She blushed, looked over, to her lover, and laughed, and, getting a uod )o go ahead, she said : " Well, sir, just as the clock struck twelve the old man jumped out of lied up stairs anil hollered down, ' Surah, yer mar wants Bome o' that catnip tea,' and we got such a start we broke the back < 1' , the rocking-chair, and went over back- j ward, kepilink ! " " Then the jury must understand that i ! you were seated on Samuel's knee't " "I object!" put in Samuel's lawyer, and His Honor remembered the days of his youth nnd sustained the objection. STOLE A GIW' AND KILLED A MAN. A Lively CIIOMP 1 LIE* D**i>cri<lo—Sur round IMI in >i Onion. A dispatch from Los A.geles, Califor nia, says tin-re is great excitement ut Ban Juan Capistriuo over the kiilnappiiu! of a young girl named Marie Hobona by the noted handit Sylvester Morales. The girl is si vkntecn years of age and was taken froiu her home. Morales was seen carrying her oil on horseback, and a vig orous pursuit was organized. The bandit's horse gave out and he entered the stable of Henry Charles, one of the wealthiest men in the county, intending to steal a horse. Charles was in tlie stable and was shot dead. The father of the girl abducted by Morales said tiie girl Intd never seen Morales until last Wednesday night, when be came to the house at San Diequito, thirty miles north of San Diego, and entered 'lie house, where site was in lied.

San Diego county, leaving the girl and the horse while he bought crackers and sin dines. Friday they were seen going toward San Dian, and were chased by an officer who captured one horse ami the girl's clothing. No further clue to the bandit's where abouts was found until Sunday afternoon, when Morales rode through San Fer nando, sevcrul miles north of the scene of the Saturday tragedy. Morales was rid ing one horse and leading another, and was armed with a 'Winchester rilie and two six-shooters. lie was recognized by an officer, who pursued him, hut soon disappeared, leaving the horse he was leading. The desperado then turned back toward San Diego canon, where he was seen lute ai night with agirl on horse back going toward Trabura Canon. Morales is a tall, slender man, with a mustache and thin heard. He is marked with smallpox undone eye is bloodshot, but altogether be is not bad looking. He has sworn i e will not he taken alive, lie is a dead shot, and Sheriff's do not like 'o come into close quarters with him.
