THE WEST BRIDGEPORT RELIGIOUS Re.
vIvAI.-The interest is still increasing in
the religious revival conducted by Rev.
Robins in West Bridgeport. On Wed.
nesday night twenty-five were at the al
tar, three were converted and twenty
three joined church. Thus far there have
been sixty-six accessions and Rfty-four
conversions. The Church Temperance
Association now numbers one hundred
and sixty.nine members.

BELLAIRE LocAIs.-Our memory fails
to indicate exactly how many years it
has been since the condition Of the road
leading from Bellaire to the Union Gene
terry began to be cause Of complaint.
The city has now reached a position oc-
cupying which she cannot afford TO let
this road remain in its terrible condition.
At this season OF the year it is altogether
impossible. A child's funeral last week
was obliged to take to the fields after the
city limits were reached, and the pail
bearers had to carry the coffin all the
way TO the grave. One carriage did un-
dertake to carry the ladies Of the family
to the cemetery, but the horses stalled
and the passengers had TO get out and
walk, although it was very muddy. Some
steps should be taken at once to remedy
this crying evil. As it now is, the road
is disgrace to the city.
The exercise at the Conference Tenn
perance meeting Wednesday evening
were to be quite interesting. The speech
Rev. Slutz was we'll delivered and I'M
pressive, though rather visionary some
times. The essay on Romanism by DR..
Swaney, was the finest presented during
the session. Conference came to close
yesterday afternoon.
The statement in yesterdays paper
that Rev. Chalfant was assisting in revi-
val meetings here is a mistake. The
Presbyterians are conducting no meetings
at present.
We regret that we have neglected to
speak Of the Liederkranz social last Mon
day evening. The affair was the most
successful and pleasant one Of the kind
that has taken place in Bcllaire for long
time.
Tonight the Bret Harte literary Socie-
ty is TO decide whether capital punish
ment should or should not DO abolished.
The jury in the liquor case under the
the Adair law, Of which we spoke as being
tried before Mayor Strahl yesterday, fail
ed to agree, and were discharged.

Tuesday ASA HoLrDAY.-Tuesday is
much favored by holidays in the present
year. Four Of the legal holidays fall on
that day Of the week, namely: Washing
toms Birthday, Decoration Day, the
Fourth Of July, and; of course, Election
Day. II is somewhat rare occurrence
for four holidays TO have the same week
day in a year; it happened last in 1872,
when Tuesday was the favored day,
Thanksgiving Day being one of the four.
It will not again happen during this cen.

THE BUFFALO BILL COMBINATION
The performance OF the Buffalo Bill com.
bination at the Opera House last night
was attended by an audience OF fair d.
mansions. The comedy Of "Thrice Mar
ried," In which Mile Morlacchi sustained
four different characters, was followed
by new fve.act drama entitled "Liie on
the Border" Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack
are the principal figures in the drama, and
their appearance is always greeted with
applause. As these gentlemen are real
tiles, they certainly ought to know how
to play themselves. Mr.. ]. v. Arlington,
as the representative OF the old eccentric
trapper, was perfect. The drama abounds
in thrilling incidents Of the border, and
illustrates the most striking phases OF
frontier life. Whilst It Ia remarkable as
giving the audience vivid idea OF the
life Of the scout, it derives much interest
from the fact that they are the real heroes
and scouts they represent themselves to
be. The programme will be repeated to.

DISCOVERY OF AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK
JAIL.-Seyeral days ago Deputy Sheriff
Kennedy detected plot among his pris-
oners to break jail, and at once set about
to ferret out the plotters. The result OF
the investigation was u search Of the
cells yesterday morning, when a chisel,
two saws and three knives were brought
forth from their hiding places inside Of
bed ticks. The knives and saws were
made out OF fat pieces Of steel, which
had been ground down and nicked, and
fastened 10 short pieces Of broomsticks
with wire. The chisel was a sharpened
piece Of iron formerly used to brace a
gas fixture. It is the opinion Of the
jailor that the pieces OF steel were smug-
gled to the prisoners.
At the back Of the building, opposite
the front door, is window opening into
a hall occupied by the prisoners at Ger:
tain hours during the daytime. Five OF
the worst characters in the prison con.
ceiyed the idea OF saving through the
iron bars OF this window and escaping to
the roof Of the boiler shed underneath,
from whence they could easily get out
side the jail yard. The tools were ac-
cordingly manufactured as described, and
work upon the bars commenced. The
work had to be done in the daytime, as
the prisoners are locked in their cells at
night. Consequently while one Of the
prisoners sat at the window saving the
bars, the others were on tho watch.
There are two sets OF bars in the window,
and each bar is an inch and half thick.
As the plotters were constantly inter-
rupted by fellow.priSoners who were not
in the secret, 1t may be imagined that the
work progressed slowly.
The Deputy Sheriff, as we have already
said, knew there was mischief brewing,
and was on the alert. He ascended to the
roof Of the boiler shed 10 take look at
the back part Of the Jail, and glancing at
the window before mentioned noticed
long handled saw cutting into one Of
the outer bars. Yesterday morning the
window was examined, and two OF the in
ner and one Of the outer bars were found
cut entirely through. II they had sue
ceeded in cutting another outer bar, the
bars could have been easily bent and all
the prisoners in Jail would no doubt have
managed to squeeze through and escaped
by way Of the boiler shed. The stampede
would have taken place in the daytime,
when discovery would have been very
probable.

BRIDGEPORT ITEMs..-There seems TO be
some little feeling Of rivalry existing be-
tween the Kirkwood and West End NJ.
E. Churches in their good work Of re-
claiming sinners, and Installing into them
Christian spirit Of brotherly love. The
work is going on in both churches. The
West End on last Thursday evening had
on their list tifty.fye converts, with twen-
ty-two at the altar. Their meeting con-
tinues during next week. We could not
ascertain the exact number OF converts at
the Kirkwood Church, bat were inform
cd they numbered between fifty and sixty.
DR.. Geo. Galloway (colored) was born
slave and served as such until Abraham
Lincoln's proclamation made him free
man. Northward the Doctor then took
his way, and was drawn by some irresisti-
bic force which our neighboring city Of
Bridgeport at that time seemed TO possess,
where he took up his abode and has since
resided. The Doctor soon united him
self with the colored Baptist Church and
became Jealous worker in the cause.
"And thereby hangs q tale" The Doctor in
this was success, for, as he claims, dur
ing the silent watches Of the night he was
communicated with by IN unseen power
AID new songs were put into his mouth,
with music furnished, and cures for the
MANNED, the halt and the blind were de-
livered TO him in u mysterious manner.
With carpet.bag as dispensatory he
started upon his holy mission, and is
still omit. His headquarters are at ]. II.
Vests drug store, Bridgeport, where he
can be consulted ms 10 diseases OF all
kinds physical, and also where he will
minister TO mind diseased. As sam
Of the Doctors inspiration US poet we
give the following, which he gave us
from his own lips:
"Somc may grin and Laugh 10 scorn
The trumpet on that dreadful morn,
But the sinner who has not been born
Agtn; he knows how II Is himself,
Wh-a-r-is he?
Twill praise him.
