escape from the institution Monday night and
have not since been heard from.
Remission and Brainerd occupied cell to-
gether, and have, undoubtedly, been maturing
their plan for sometime. They contrived by a
very simple process to unlock their cell door
and then proceeded down stairs to the dun
geon cells, and liberated Richards and Neville
Ihey then offered to release all fhe other pris
oners If they would assist in escaping. but the
offer was declined
Inc scamps alter getting out of their cells
went INTO tne poor debtors room, from which
escapes have heretofore been effected and
which is now unocupied. Taking portion of
an iron bedstead which was in the room thew
pried the bars of the window apart so that
they nearly sprung from their sockets, and
made sufficient space to pass themselves

Neville was in Jail for picking pockets and
was bound over to the November term of the
Supreme Judicial Court
Richards was in for counterfeiting and was
waiting trial at the q. s. Circuit Court at its
present session.
Brainard had been sentenced to one year in
the State prison, at the July term of the Su-
preme Judicial Court, but the sentence had
been commuted toimprisonment to in jail.
Kenniston had been sentenced at the July
term to eighteen months in the State prison,
for breaking and entering store in Bridgton.
His sentence had also been commuted to i'm
prisonment in the Jail. He was the only one
the four who belonged in this. State. Brainard
belongs in Canada; Richards is supposed to
belong in New York No one knows where
Neville belongs.
The attention of the County Commissioner
was called to the locks on the cells two weeks
since by Sheriff Parker. They will have diff
ferent locks put on the doors
1t is supposed that Richards, before he was
confined in the dungeon cell, had discovered
the means of unlocking the doors and had
been out of his cell frequently at night, pre-
pairing for an escape
Sheriff Parker offers a reward of $500 for
the capture of the prisoners. A full descrip-
tion of them can be obtained by reference to
his advertisement.

When Macmillan left Mexico Gen Bazaine
thought he came to Orizaba merely ON a little
excursion, as he had gone to Cuemazaca and
other places. Day before yesterday the COM
mandes of the Dondalo received a dispatch at
midnighr from Maximihan ordering him ito
have his frigate ready yesterday at O o'clock p.
NJ, at which time Macmillan was expectedKp
be here and wanted to sail at once. As soDh
as the Austrian commander received this dis
patch he called on, NJ. Peyrou, the French coli-
mander. to take leave of him, communicating sS
him the dispatch he had received, and asking
orders for Trieste. M. Peyrou sent at once this
information to Gen. Bazaine, who dispatched
instructions by telegraph to the French com-
manders at Orizaba, Cordova and Vera Cruz,
not to allow Maximilian to escape, and address
ed himself to the Arch Duke, stating he kneE
of his plan to fly from Mexico but he could not
be permitted to do so unless he would formally
abdlcate. The reason of this conduct is, that
should Maximilian leave without formal aI-
dicatlon, the position of the French would be
very difficult and ridiculous, while if he abdi-
