At LAST.

From the Carson appeal this morning
We learn that Charles Jones, the most
desperate convict who escaped from the
State Prison during the smeute Of Sep
TENDER II. 1872. and one Of the leaders
Of that break. has at last been captured
in Iowa. This is the man who Is
charged by his f~sllow-convicts with
having shot and killed Matt PiIley
during the melee which occurred at the
time Of the break. He IL also believed
to b one Of the party who killed and
partially burned the mail rider Poor.
while en- route from Aurora 10 Genoa.
II will be recollsctsd that this last
named young man was stopped on the
road. robbed. dragged out into the sage
brush and burned so badly a. almost to
defy recognition. His horse was taken
BY the esnvicts. and II is said that this
man Jones wa the principal actor in the
fearful tragedy. Jones was chased with
others into Death Valley. and by some
was thought to have psrished there
Others believed he had escaped to All
roma. and We dimly remember Of hear
ing or reading that he had been seen in
Texas since his escape. Now that he il
arrested. we may hope to see full justice
done. and mayhap. learn more about the
fate OF the boy Poor. Justice is SLOW
but very sure.

How Statues Are Made.

The bronze statuary just now 30 pop.
ular is manufactured by a simple enough
process. Over the clay model is poured
a coating OF plaster Of paris. which.
having been allowed TO set, Is taken of
in sections, thus affording a hollow mold
Of the figure. From such a mold is pro-
duced q stucco duplicate, either Of the
entire statue or Of such n portion thereof
as Is intended to be cast at q time. and
on this again is formed q second mold.
Of greater thickness and solidity. for tho
reception Of the molten metal. The
material used for the final mold is a
composition OF stucco and brick-dust.
This is applied in q plastic state to the
stucco model. and from which its inner
surface takes the form OF the figure.
wero statues cast solid. II would o
only be necessary to separate mold from
model and run metal into the former till
its interior was filed. This. however.
would involve absurd waste, and In
order to sconomise material, o solid core
il placed inside the mold, leaving only
such space all around as will receive the
thickness OF metal deemed necessary for
tho work in hand. The mold. with its
core. having been thus completed and
firmly hoped round with bands Of iron,
is placed in a kiln to bake to perfect
drynsss. This ~prscaution is necessary
from the circumstance that even a trace
Of moisture might, On tho application
OF molten metal. occasion q dangerous
explosion. In the case OF the casting
now in question, the drying Of the mold
occupies some weeks. On the removal
from the kiln. the model is buried in dry
earth below the floor Of the foundry,
only the aperture for receiving tho metal
and the vent-hole for the escape OF air
visible.

After lunch they spent two hours in

tween breakfast and dinner a trip was
made to Baltimore from New

travelling ut the rate OF fifty miles an
