FATAL LEAP FROM THE CARs.-A shocking an,
fatal accident occurred this morning on the Cen

soner just convicted in his county of burglary
and sentenced 10 Auburn State Prison for two
years and three months. The prisoner wore hand
cuffs, but was not otherwise ironed, as We are in
formed, and made al excuse to 60 to the platform
Of the rear car, in which the party We're riding -
While OF the platform the prisoner made bolG
leap for liberty, but was not upnoticed by the
Sheriff, who grasped his clothing and attempted
to restrain HIM. The train was running at full
speed, and it was ont of the question for mar
standing upon the platform to hold fast to one
drawing to the ground; so he released his grasp
aud the prisoner fell, striking bis head upon
stone or the frozen earth, killing him Instantly
The train was stopped and backed up to wher,
the man lay. His brains had been literally
smashed out of his skull, and he was. of course
lifeess. The name of the unfortunate man wh,
made the desperate and costly attempt to regain
his liberty, We have not learned. He was betWeel
thirty and forty years of age.-RocheSter IN I
