NEW YORK JACK.
lie RETURNS TO THE CITT--WHTRE, Oh .
WHERE IS HE.

WHERE IS HE.
The most desperate of the old Church
street gang, Jack Scott, better known as
New York Jack, escaped from the city cells
some time since in company with Blubber
Davis, after threatening the life Of cy-Chief
Brady. Davis was captured on Saturday
and 1t was supposed that his companion
would not be long out of the city, and a
sharp watch has been kept for him.
Yesterday the vigilence of the po-
lice was rewarded at last by a sight
of the desperate bully and thief,
but this was all, one of the officers
having just canght glimpse of him as he
passed quickly around convenient corner.
He is disguised so well that only person
very intimate could recognize him. Upon
the news of his appearance, special efforts
were made to capture him, and all of the
city was put under close surveillance.
Nothing further has as yet been seen of
him by the police and it is generally be-
licved that he has taken fight and left the
city. When seen yesterday his face was
closely shaven, and he boldly appeared in a
prominent portion of the city, and seemed
to think that he was safe from arrest.

Hinder spiritual Influence.

Two brothers, twins, hired room about
three months ago in San Jose, California.
The neighbors noticed that they had no EN-
ployment, seldom went out of the house,
and gradually grew emaciated. They were
approached by kindly folk with offers OF
charity, as they seemed very poor. but the
reply was, "We are all right, and want to
he let alone" Later it was learned that
one did not leave his bed, and the other be-
came pallid and barely able to walk; yet
renewed proflers of aid and sympathy were
repelled. At length both kept to their
room, and the town physician visited them.
The one who had been longest secluded was
unconscious, as though in trance, ana
could not be awakened. The other said
"IIe has been under the control OF sMrlts
for weeks. We were told by spirits that ne
was to write, under inspiration, book
somewhat like Bunyan's Pilgrims Pro-
rrcss,' We came here so as not to be dis
turbcd, and I believe it is nearly time TOR
him TO begin to write the book The room
is full Of spirits now" The brothers had
lived wholly on apples during their stay
there, and lack of proper food had pros,
trated them. They were taken to hospital
and are recovering, but they declare tnat
the Interference with their spirltuallstlc
work was an outrage.
