THE SING SING PRISON EMEUTE.

AS there have been various rumOrs floating
about for a few days past relative to rotous re-
volt OF the convicts at the State Prison in Sing
Sing, q reporter Of the HERALD made strict in
quiries yesterday at the prison in regard to the
presumed trouble. The reporter cOnversed with
the Warden. Mr.. Hubbell. the Chief Clerk, Mr..
Clifford, and Mr.. Jackson, the operator in the tee-
graph office which is located on the premises.
The Warden stated that on Friday, in the
forenoon, q number or men who were work.
ing in the cabinet shop became ugly with the

him any longer. Associated with Kirby the

as Kirby. The convicts IN this particular
shop directed all their threats and feel

time threatened to make serious trouble. But be-
fore they could achieve any damage the 6naeute
was quelled and fourteen OF the principal mischief
ringleaders-Tom Sullivan, Charles Carr and John
Clark, alias "Boodles''-were locked In dark cells
and win be kept in darkness for week on bread
and water, and by that time 1t is expected
that their angry passions will have to some

exception. The reporter had conversation with

pew appeared on behalf OF the Hudson River and

Depew had concluded his argument in which he

The war against railroad monopoly, inaugurated

which can hardly fail to secure satsiac-
tory results. Mass meetings OF an en-
thusiastic character have recently been
held at White Plains, West Mount Vernon, Ford

to the magnates OF the Hudson River and New
