Escape Of Ebsn Frazieralsl as8fa G 49,
E.B Frazier made his escape from New
Castle jail on Wednesday, morning, by prying
up the bar of bic cells window with Jack
which had donotless been surreptitiously csn-
veyed to him by friends outside, and letting
himself down ever the wall with 4 rope made
with strips torn from bic bed clothes. As q
boat belonging to Captain Curry, which was
usually at The -wharf, was missing ,he next
day, ii Il supposed that the fugitive made use
oft to effect his escape to New Jersey. },
The .Puli Back" AmIstion.
She tried to sit down in the street car, but
was pinned back so tight she couldn't. Old |
lady peeped over her specs and asked her, Il
"How long have you been afflicted in that
wayf' The young lady blushedi and made
"a break," sitting down sideways, and hold
ing her knees together so tight that she look
ed as il she had on one-lerged pair Of
breeches. Old lady noticed her sitting in
this sideways, cramped position, and whis-
percd, "Bile, ! s'pose; 4 have had 'em thar
myself" i.s 4a Eaid yHeie "lf0
The weather iJt y HH-
Has been as tickle during the pact week as
seventeensy ycar-oid boarding school girl.
Sunday, it was hot, until it couldn't hot any
moregapd refrigeratprs and iceihepses were a
luxury greatly to be desired Monday was
deliciously cool, the mercury having fallen
from % to co. Tuesday was more like an
early April, than middle of July, day and
shawls and overcoats-and even fires, were
much in demand and felt awfully in place.
Since Wednesday, summer has returned and |
the weather has gradually grown warmer
until We again begin to dream of ice-houses
and such.
