JIMMY LOGUE.

A Daring Attempt to Escape from the Om-
GERS.
our readers cannot have forgotten that daring
young fellow whose exploits have been published so
often with the flourish OF rhetoric In our daily
papers-Jimmy Iogue. To almost every grade Of
seem to indicate that he had mania
for misdoing, ior hardly does he
technicsllty which cannot be overruled, but what
he falls at once into the commission OF another
crime and finds himself again in the clutches of the
law. Jimmy, with pal, the other day was seen
leisurely driving wagon along one Of our by
streets. An onicer,, suspectlng Something wrong,
captured them, and upon the examination Of the
vehicle discovered bag Of burglars tools.
This afternoon Logue was to have had a further
hearing before Alderman Kerr, and was placed In
the "Rogues Gallery" OF the Central Station under
the charge Of Ofilcer Heise The upper sash OF one
Of the windows OF the gallery was lowered, and at
moment when some slight circumstance diverted
the officers attention, with spring like a deer,
Jimmy reached the window and bounded out land
ing upon the avenue between the Mayors Office and
the east wing Of the State House.
From this point he rushed with the utmost speed,
and with a crowd OF people at his heels, foremost
among whom could be detected his quondam guar
dian into the American Hotel, down into the base
ment and into the passage made remarkable by the
escapeoI the notorious Jimmy Haggerty and issued
into Minor street From here he dashed into Ben
Detts Tower Hall, and emerged into Market street,
taking westerly direction.
At Seventh and Chestnut streets he was captured
by a cltzen, and In moment Detective Gordon
came came up and took him in custody, escorting him
tice Kerr, committed to Moysmenslng Prison.

Present means OF COMMUNICATION are totally IN
adequate to the transpOIt tation OF the immense
amount OF freight interchanged between the East
and the West. An estimate based upon offiela
statistics shows that about 900 tons OF through
hour, wool, cotton OIL and live stock, are annually
transported between the Eastern and
Western States. Nearly all OF this is subjected to
tedious delays OF ferrage and transhipment, Sc
rlous loss that will be avoided by the new bridge and
direct railroad connections.
NO favoritism or preference Will be shown to any
road, as all win be charged toll per car.
1t is difficult to estimate the durability OF such
bridge. General Serrell, the Engineer-in Chief
says that 1t win last for centuries. There is sus-

that the folks broke into the room to
see what was the matter, and there
they was with their faces and hands
all as black as the inside of a forty
year old stove pipe. I'd a given half
my interest in t'other world just to
have been in some safe place where 1
could have seen the whole row. AS
soon as they found out they was really
the same folks that were married the
night before, they called for water
and soap, but just here the doctor
happened to think about the pitcher,
and took it to the door to see what
was the matter. There was a little
piece of caustic that was not dissolved,
and as soon as he saw it he says:
It's no use washing. All the soap
in New York can't wash that black Off
That was the truth, Squire; soap
and rags had no more effect than they
would on native born African, and
all the chance was to wait and let it
wear off: How long it took them to
get white again I never found out
but one thing do know he conclud-
