How A Tam,nany Rims Thief Escaped

Harry Genet, the latest convicted
member On the late TammaDy ring" in
New Y ork who wa 10 have been senteLc d
OF the 22d, escaped Sunday night, while
in charge of deputy sheriff, causing
great excitement in New York, and Sc
we're censure of Sheriff Brennan, who has
offered S.. 900 reward for his capture. A
New York dispatch says:
Sheriff Brennan is greatly agitated
over the affair, and says he feels acutely
the opportunity afforded by it to cavil at
his administration. He is confident the
fugitive will soon be recaptured. On the
other hand, some assert that it will be
impossible to capture him, as his friends
will strain every nerve to enable him to
eldue the officers. Facts which have been
elected since the news of his escape be
came known, 60 TO show that there was a
conspiracy to take him from the Deputy
Sheriff, and prevent Judge Daniels from
having an opportunity to send him to the
state prison 1t appears that soon after
Deputy Sheriffs Shields and Carroll took
Genet to his residence, host Of his per-
sonal friends including a number of well.
known sporting men. waited upon him
and remained many hours at night. On
Sunday evening these friends occupied
the large parlors where Genet was in
custody. They chatted pleasantly. the
convict host joining in the conversation
freely. The Deputy Sheriffs knowing
Genet would be sentenced yesterday, al
lowed him every possible latitude. Al
midnight many Of the friends left. and
and three hours later Genet escaped. II
is rumored that after Genet left his
honse. he went to a neighborinR pier,
where his own yacht, we'll filled with
friends, was in readiness, and embarked
for trip through Long Island Sound.

has not only been equal to what it was
for the same month last year, but three
times as great. The amount of revenue
stamps used for this month. in the two
years, was respectively $4,000 and $l8,-
900. This business is received by letter
orders, is transacted under the pronrie-
