Saturday afternoon. While gentleman

made off. An alarm was at once raised,
and sundry parties endeavored to effect
an arrest of the bold young scamp. The
crowd, however, was SO dense, and the boy
ran so nimbly and lodged about SO e1-
pertly, that he succeeded in eluding those
who we're after him, as we'll as retaining
possession Of the money.

THE RECENT ATTEMPTED ESCAPE ROM

THE RECENT ATTEMPTED ESCAPE ROM
THE PEN1TENTIARY-FURTH PARTICU-
LARs.-The recent attempt Of nine felons
to escape from the penitentiary was noticed
in the Dispatch of Saturday last. The
plan was we'll and adroitly arranged, and
failed, not from any mismanagement OF
the parties, but owing to the insuficiency
Of quantity or lack Of strength of the mar
cotic with which they drugged an old
negro sick in the hospital.
The leader is Joseph Holt alias Curley,
we'll known to the police Of this city. A
few years ago he fred into room at the
old Union Hotel occupied by a female of
doubtful reputation, and wounded her in
the leg. The woman's only offence was a
refusal to admit Holt at late hour in the
night. He subsequently shot Detective
Tyler, who attempted his arrest, but was
afterwards secured, tried, convicted, and
handed over to Colonel Pendleton, the
superintendent of the State prison. The
prisoner boasted that he would not remain
there two weeks, but his stay has already
amounted to nearly as many years.
Holt and his accomplices succeeded in
gaining admittance to the hospital by
feigning sickness. The Jfeint, we hear,
was eminently successful; SO much so that
the attending physician never suspected
the rascality. The only inmate Of the
hospital besides the redoubtable "nine !"
was an old negro. He was drugged, but,
for want Of strength or quantity, the old
man did not remain under its influence as
long as it was hoped and supposed he
would. Having satisfied themselves that
sleeping as we'll as dead men tell no tales,
they cut hole through the ceiling Of the
lower hospital room, through which they
gained access to the room above. Here
they crawled up the chimney and landed
safely ON the roof. They then crept
around to the southeast end Of the prison
buildings, facing CANDLES Hill, and by
pulling off the slate secured big rope to
the Roof, by which they hoped to land on
terra frmd.
But 'the best laid schemes Of mice and
men gang aft a'glee," and while the opera
tion above described was going on, the
drugged negro became partially awake,
and commenced jabbering. The guard
below called to him to keep quiet. This
thoroughly aroused the old man; and he
replied: You had better come up here
quickly, for there amt nobody here but
me-" This communication excited the
suspicion of the guard, and he went up,
but to his surprise discovered that all the
other birds had taken wing sure enough.
The hole throtgh which they had departed
was distinctly visible, and an alarm was at
once sounded.
The schemers heard the alarm with
emotions which can be better imagined
than described, and scampered back with
much more haste and far less precaution
than they had emerged from the hospital.
1t is stated that Holt is greatly detected
at the failure, and objects seriously to the
severe discipline which has been put in
force since. He is bold, bad man, and no
doubt requires all the watching which the
superintendent and his assistants can ex-
ercise.

THROWN OUr.-A gay party, consisting
of couple of white women, accompanied
by two male escorts dressed in blue fatigue
uniform, were upset near the corner of
Clay and First streets on Saturday night
last. The parties were enjoying moon
light ride in phEton, and the driver, who
is said to have been as much under the IN
fluence of whiskey as those he was driving,
turned too suddenly, causing the vehicle
to capsize. The "ladies" p" screamed Justify
for help, much alarming the neighboring
denizens; but the vehicle was soon righted,
and the parties again occupied their seats.
Save the arrangement Of two pairs OF
hoop skirts and the soiling of some valua-
BILE lawn and dimity by coming in contact
with the dusty streets, there was no da-
mage. The escape of the parties from Sc
rious injury was considered miraculous by
those who witnessed the mishap.
