Belle Brown, q handsomely -dresse
young woman, but who is leading dis
reputable life, came here last week from
Indianapolis and was taken under the
protecting wing of Nellie Netf, who
hangs out on Longworth street. Nellie
dressed Belle i'll one oil her own new out
fits, but Belle repaid her kindness by
skipping out with the dress and a lace
sacque. Last night Nellie spied Belle
on Race street, aud Officers Conroy and
Ruff were instructed 10 arrest the girl.
On the way Nellie promised 10 leave
Belle go,provided her property would be
returned. Belle was willing, but while
she was handing over the duds TO the
rightful owner, she tore the pretty lace
sacque. Nellie couldn't stand this aud
had Belle taken to Nlnth-street Station
on charge OF malicious destruction Of
property. In the Police Court this
morning Nellie refused to prosecute the
case, but Judge Wilson, to break up
this habit Of letting prisoners go, per-
emptorily ordered her TO file an affidavit.
This was done and Nellie fixed the
the value of the sacque at 500. She for
got, however, to bring her witness, aud
the case was dismissed. The sacque
was turned over to The Chiet Of Police.

"FIGHT 1T OUT"

A story is told of daughter of a
prominent person now in The lecture
field, who is peculiarly interesting and
suggestive OF unconscious wisdom. G A
gentleman was invited to the lecturers
house to tea. Immediately on being
seated at the table, the little girl aston,
ished the family circle and the guest by
the abrupt question:

Now the gentleman, having been re.

Of her parents, he concluded to make q

A JAIL BIRD ESCAPES,
The Sheriff Will Likely Make a
Change of Jail OfficiaIs

The County Sieve" is leaking again.
This time it's Ben. Perry who struck out
for freedom. Ben. is not very des-
perate criminal, but it would be all the
same if he Washes gone. He was ar
rested some time ago on suspicion of
being implicated in the VIM. Blackburn
burglaries; he gave bail and was re-
leased, but subseq aently re arrested on a
capias. There is no Indictment against
him, and he was being held more as
witness than criminal, and in all prOba-
bilty would nave been released soon, as
Blackburn anu Kyle, his alleged princi-
pals, have gone to the Penitentiary.
Ben. is the same chap who few weeks
ago undertook to end his existence by
decorating his arm with a piece of bone
and gla in order to bleed to death.
Ills mode OF escape was this: He
slipped down to the bath department
and entered the stOre-rOom, the door OF
which had been carelessly lie unlocked.
A few moments WORK at one OF the Win
d0Ws soon afforded an opportunity for
exit. LII the window are heavy bars of
wrought iron, placed about six inches
apart. Between Two Of the bars, for a
tulcrum, he put large block OF iron,
once used in riveting shackles on the
limbs Of prisoners doomed to the CHAIN
gang. Then, with strong piece Of inch
and-a-quarte". gas-pipe, he pried against
one OF Inc bars, bending a portion Of it
not more than an inch out OF line,
Through this narrow opening, barely
wide enough TO admit the ordinary sized
head OF man, he squeezed his slight
figure. In the court outside he took ad.
vantage OF an old ladder he found there
10 scale the wall, made his way across
the rear yard OF the Courthouse, passed
through that building to the street, anu
fed.
Up to noon to-day no trace OF the fugi-
tive had been found. The responsibility
ol this escape has not been fixed on any
particular one a5yet; it is claimed by
some, who are supposed TO be familiar
with all the circumstances, that Perry
got away through the rooms OF Mr.. Will
liam Carlin, superintendent OF the
courthouse, who, 1T is alleged, has been
in the habit OF leaving his doors uu-
| locked.
Why the doors are not locked when
| the rooms contain valuable stores is a
| matter that has not been explained.
There are hard feelings all around about
| this matter, aud IL need not surprise The
public il there is a b.g change made in
he lorce OF the jail, and that very soon.
Jailer Porter was guilty of an otfense in
not promptly notifying the Sheriff OF
the escape.
Perry got away about II O'clock, and
sheriff Wallace knew notnlng of it until

They Took a Tumble.

F. II. Rowecamp, Esq, and his son,
F. H., Jr., while driving home to their
dinner yesterday, had narrow escape
from death. AS they reached York
street, near John, the king-bolt of their
buggy broke, and the fore-wheel5 of the
vehicle were dragged from under theEl.
The Squire hung on to the lines and
endeavOred TO stop the horse, and by
this meaps they were turned upside
down on the street, the top of the buggy
covering them as mantle.
The imprisoned men were dragged
some d stance, their faces being held to
the earth by the weight Of the buggy.
Pa ches OF skin were raked from their
faces, and this morning they look like
they mad just emerged from a prize-1i Z ht.
The Squire's left hand is also disabled
from the effects Of cllnging to the lines
alter the wheels of the vehicle had part
ed company. 1t is n wonder that both
were not dangerously hurt.

O'Clock in the afternoon. Had he been
promptly notified, 1t is not unreasonable
to suppose that, with the detectives set
upon his track and the Sheriff, he would
have been recaptured.
These escapes are getting too frequent.
There is som sthing rotten about the
conduct OF that Jail, and the sooner Por-
ter and Turnkey MCCARTHY, who Just
now are not on friendly terms, are sepa-
rated the better 1t will be; and il they
are allowed to run the machine together
no one is to blame but Wallace himself.
The Sheriff can not be in the Jail and
In his office at the same time. He Is in
his office constantly during business
hours, and he has right to expect that
his Jailer and their assistants will at
tend to the duties for the performance
Of which they draw their pay. Some
body ought to be bounced, and Wallace
no doubt knows whose head will tall.
