the Escape of Tweed-Postal Matter

The Escape of TWeed-POstai Matters.
NEW YORK, December 6.-Inspector DIES
believes that TWeedis on the ocean. There
is good reason to believe that he, made his
escape many hours before It was reported.
It is generally believed that Warden Durham
and Keeper Hogan were priVy TO the escape,
and that Tweed embarked on some private
craft on East river, in which he IS now sail
ing for foreign port. The I15Weed cases
which were up to-day were postponea.i
II has been aseertained that TWeeds prl-
yate secretary Was last seen at his stopping.
place few minutes before the departure OF
the 10 O'Clock train for Boston Saturday
morning. He took that train, saying he was
going to Boston and would return Tuesday.
He. however, carried large trunk.
Ii was rumored last night that on Saturday
from 4 to 5:12 P. N. tug was noticed cruls:
Ing in mysterious manner in East river on
Fifty.pinth street. Nothing was noticed by
which the tug could be Identified.
An afternoon paper has the following re-
garding Tweeds fight: 5,
"The most probable theory Is that T~eea
ESCAPED in the bark Lord Clarendon, which
cleared November IA for Queenstown. The
story is that relative OF Tweed, not re-
siding here, and known to butfew in this
city, reached here some three weeks since
and purchased the bark Lord Clarendon, q
fine vessel of excellent sailing qualities. The
theory is that the Lord Clarendon was char,
tered for Tweed by his relative, who sailed
in her. It Is said vessel looking like her
has been seen off the east end of Long Island:
1t Is supposed that Tweed was conveyed on
board steam.tpg in East river on Saturday
evening, and was taken on board the Lord
Clarendon. The name OF the trm Wnlcn
cleared the Lord Clarendon is not In the
directory" ::'st.i b. ~ y

cester correspondent: Frederick Bates, a
brakeman on the Norwich railroad, who
was reported to have been instantly killed
on Saturday afternoon by falling from a
wood pile and breaking his neck, appeared
at the breakfast table OF his boarding house,
the Farmers Hotel, this morning, sppar-
emily in his usual good health. The wood
pile from which Bates fell was but
ab 1ut four feet high. He had just picked up
a handful of wood and was turning 10 throw
it into the locomotive tender, when he
reeled and fell headforsmost into the space
between the engine and wood pile, striking
on the back of his head aud then falling on
his back. He was taken up IN ap unco1-
scious condition, and Mr.. l.. ii. Hammond,
who was instantly called. found the vertebre
dislocated at the base of the brain, tue bone
projecting and forming lump as large as
walnut. No hopes were entertained of his
recovery, and it was expected that death
would resulrin a short time. Although
Bates was unconscious, he was constantly
swinging his head from side to side. He
was taken to the city hospital, where
every effort was made to reduce the
disIccation and restore the vertebrss
TO its natural position. While
these efforts were being made the
patients eyes became fixed, pulsation
ceased, and be was TO all appearances breath
ing bis last. Soon after he was seized with
violent vomiting, but there was no apparept
improvement in his condition, and his death
was looked for at any moment. few hours
afterward friend OF Bates called al the hos
pital, and the attendant who conducted him
to the room where the supposed dying man
lay was surprised to find the dislocation re-
dnced. He summoned DR.. Peabody, who
found, on examination, that the vertebrse
had resumed its natural position. The pa
tent soon regained consciousness, and con-
versed with the attendant in a rational man
ner. He continued to improve during the
night and in the morning he sat up and ate
quite a hearty breakfast. he was, however.
unable to recall anything that had oc-
Cured the night previous. About O'Clock,
although not feeling very well, he asked
permission to leave the hospital, which was
granted, and he returned TO his hotel to all
appearances in excellent condition, except
soreness of the neck.

pushed their way through the door
and the captain closed IL on
them. It not more than

oasly thrown open from the inside, and ten
girls with very white faces came hurrying

During the afternoon as a Sentinel re-
porter was passing Pendergrast's carpenter
shop in the courthouse square.
Pendergrast was observed playing
with small wooden model of
gallows. 1t was the one be made when
il was thought Cluck would be hung in
this county, and Pendergrast said in an
sbsent-minded.wsy, that he had picked It up
to look at. OF course, said he, 1 know hang
ing has played out in Marion county, but
his looks did not justify the assertion.
