a CORRESPONDENT of the Cincin-

natl Times writes rs IOllOWS:
The Evansville papers talk a good
deal about the Evansville tobacco
market, but am inclined to think IL
a myth. Compared with that of Gin
cinnati, Louisville, GAINESVILLE or
Paducah, it Is nothing. Attwo little
warehouses that could both stand in
one corner Of any Warehouse In other
cities and hardly be perceived, there
are sales, several times a week. At
these sales, there is scarce single
buyer who makes that his exclusive
business scarce a single buyer for
foreign markets. Messrs. Martin,
Gardner x Co., and Mr.. Ford are,
believe, clever, honorable gentlemen,
and If the Evansville tobaccoo mark
ct ever becomes of any consequence,
II will be their energy that will make
IL so.

HORRIBLE TRACE.
DY AT IDAHO CITY!

From Mr.. Stubs. who arrived from
Idaho City yesterday afternoo3, We gath
er the following particulars Of another
fearful tragedy at that place: On Thurs
day. about twelve o'clock, noon, squad
of prisoners. well armed. who had evident
y previously arranged their plan of es-
cape. made break for the gate. Those
vi the prisoners who were not in the Sc
cret were forced into the gate with the
ke per while the others coolly walked
out The first shot was fred by one Of
the prisoners at a man named Peter Rush,
one of the guards who endeavored to op-
pose their egress. Rush was dangerous
j. wounded in the hips. By this time
the alarm had been given and the citi-
zens OF. the town hastily collected together
with such arms as they could lay their
hands on, and started in pursuit of tho
prisoners, who had run for the hill and
sought refuge in bitches and ravines.-
Considerable firing took place between
them aud the citizens. and in the conflict
two prisoners, Porter and Brady. werc
wounded. the latter mortally. After q
severe fight the prisoners were finally
overpowered, with the exception of one,
who was still at large at the time our in
tcrmant left. In all about eight esca-
ped from the Jail. The arms used by the
convicts were part of collection sent to
the Jail at the time of the Holbrook mur-
der. when the officers of the institution
feared an attack frnm the outside. Por-
ter. one Of the prisoners engaged IN this
affair had his trial postpoucd on the
ground of insanity last May. Really
there is method in such madness.-lddho
