A troublesome Convict.

Among the cluster of convicts that ac-
companied Frank Walworth from the tombs
to the State Prison was the notorious
Yves" Allen, and he has added another
incident to his very notorious prison record
by refusing to join draft of prisoners,
to be sent to the State Prison at Auburn.
When preparations were making for their
departure he rushed to his cell, and car
rying with him large knife, which he
had evidently sureptitiously secured from
the dining hall.
With this terrible instrument he rushed
to his cell, and brandishing it over his head,
he defied any one to approach him, and
threatened death to any man or men who
showed any disposition to capture him. 1t
is scarcely needful to say that there were
but few signs of that disposition shown,
and "Wes" was allowed to display his
knife without much molestation. Formid-
able as the carving knife was, ewes evil
IDENTIFY did not think it terrifying enough,
and from the stone quarries it is supposed
he obtained pound of nitro glycerine.
He pointed with demon-like derision
to this glycerine as keeper after keeper APP
preached his cell, armed with the carbine
or the revolver in use in the prison, and
defed them to fire at him. With saw
age leer in his one eye, the other having
beon destroyed in an attempted prison
escape, and Satanic fierceness that gave
reality to his terrible threat, he announced
his intention to destroy the entire prison
by exploding the nitro-glycerine if they at
tempted to main or kill him by shooting
him.
Warden Hubbell and the keepers thought
discretion the better part Of valor, and left
him behind the bars, secure in the posses
session Of these fierce and deadly instru-
ments of destruction. The draft went on
to Auburn, but ewes" Allen did not
form one of the party. He still remains
at Sing Sing, a living manifestation Of
what can be accomplished by convict
who dares.

A Business Chap.

There is an air of business in the follow
ing which one cannot fail to admire. 1t is
from a Detroit merchant whose wife died
the other day: "Dear sir: take my pen
in hand to let you know that am well, but
my dear wife, insured for five thousand
dollars in your company, is no more. She
died to-day. Her policy is No.. can
truly say that she was fond wife and a
good mother. have the doctors certifi-
cate, so that there will be no trouble about
the policy. She was sick only short time
but suffered much. Do you give check
in advance, or must wait sixty days for
the money!"

Fearful Scene in a Rolling Mill.

A terrible accident occurred on the Both
ult,, at the North Chicago Rolling Mills,
situated in the extreme northwestern sub
urbs of the city. About dozen workmen
were engaged in removing an imperfect
blast from one of the furnaces, when sud
denly large mass of clinker was detached,
making an opening in the furnace, and
there rushed out an immense volume Of gas,
which, coming in contact with the outer
air, exploded, filling the place with sheet
of flame which completely enveloped eight
worlSmen. Five of them, were SO horribly
burned that not one is expected to recover
Three workmen, Owen Corbett Thomas
Conner and Nicholas Schevelin were seri-
ously, but it is thought not fatally burned.
The loss to the Rolling Mill Company will
be considerable, but the amount has not
yet been ascertained.

nerve and downright pluck are not con-
fined exclusive to the heroic men of Gre
alton there is herewith offered the narra-
ton of circumstance wherein young
girl bore herself bravely under such try
ing circumstances as would have severely
tested the most dogged determination ever
shown by the average genus homo. On
Sunday last this young lady was at church,
when, during the delivery of the sermon,
she suddenly became aware that something
of crawling nature was making an expe-
ditious journey up her leg. Startled as
may we'll be believed, she was for the nonce
bereft of the power of action, and there
forthwith chased each other through her
mind extremely lively and fearful appre-
tensions touching snakes, rats, and host
of digusting creatures, but with determ-
ined effort she recovered her presence of
mind and by the time the 4" thing" had got
short distance above her knee she clutch
ed it through her dress, with vice-like
grip, and held on like grim death. Since
the first revelation Of the distressing Cir
cumstance she had not uttered sound
nor indeed given any outward sign of the
mental torture which she must have suf-
fered, but sat rigid and composed, firmly
grasping the "horrible thing" which she
knew was some living creature, when upon
being clutched, it gave forth squealing
sound. For full three-quarters of an hour
the brave girl sat there, as composed as
ever, still retaining her hold until the close
of the service, when she departed home
wards, never relaxing her grip until reach
ing home, when, giving hurried explana-
tions to the mother, she tainted dead away.
A quick examination revealed the pres
ence of rat, dead as door nail, as the
cause of the unhappy adventure.
