THE JAIL BREAKERs.-All day yesterday
and last night Sheriff Pencil and large force
of men were on the lookout for the escaped Jail
birds. 1t was thought that they were secreted
in the city, and all night men watched every
avenue leading from the city to prevent their
escape. Every train was closely watched, and
# the men are still inathe city it seems hardly
possible but what they will be recaptured. If
they are in the country they will stand slim
chance to escape, as there are officers on the
lookout for them in every direction. At day.
break yesterday Sheriff Pennell had posters on
the street offering reward for their recapture,
and giving full! description OF each man. A
reward of $500 is offered for their arrest and
$100 for any one of them.
Owing to the building of the workshop Sher-
iff Pencil was fearful that some Of the prison
ers might make an attempt to break Jail, and
so he engaged Waterman to guard the outside
of the premises. But he did not begin duty
until about seven o'clock, and on Thursday
evening arrived just in time to hear that he
was too late.
MARINE ACCIDENT.-Ths storm Thursday
night and yesterday was very severe one, but
no serious accidents are reported to the ship
ping in the harbor. The schooner Walton.
Capt. Corbett, on her way from the Kennebec
river to the South with hay, was anchored
near Portland Light. but during the storm she
parted her chains and came very near going
ashore. The second anchor was lowered and
remained until yesterday morning when the
wind became so strong that the captain did
not consider it safe to remain, and hosting his
sails he slipp I'd the second anchor aud came
into the harbor. The wind wasiblowing SO hard
that his mainsail was split in getting under
way. A flag of distress was raised, but no
help arriving she put for the harbor and went
ashore on the fats by the dry dock The dam
age to the vessel was but slight, but the loss of
the chains and anchore make the accident
rather expensive
BAGGAGE INsPEcTIoN.-The officers of the
Grand Trunk and other Canadian railways

port of departure. thus avoiding second ex-
animation at the port of arrival.
A plan is now under consideration by which
the hand baggage of passengers may be sealed

checked on all lines of travel. If the use of
this seal be found practicable, it will be adopt
