The Revoit in the yyithersflcld Prison.

HARTFORD. Conn, Sept. 5aThere is no
doubt that the attempt of the prisoners Ham
lin and Allen to escape from the Withersfield
prison Saturday night was made with the
full knowledge of an under keeper, J. II.
Davis, and that the latter conveyed to them
the revolvers which they were armed with.
Davis, after testifying at the inquest went
home under plea Of Illness and vomted a
great deal during the night His young wife
says he put his best clothes on and left the
house.
His connection with the case being sus-
pected for various reasOns the officers were
put on his track, but no trace Of him can be
found Many believe he has drowned himself,
and this belief is strengthened by the asser-
tion Of his physician that his vomiting was
produced by poison, which he had taken when
he saw that he was, under the law, liable TO
he hung for the murder Of the watchman
Shipman, killed by the prisoner. Davis has
| only been married d few weeks.
| A special grand jury WAS sworn in to-day
and charged by Judge Hovery in this matter.
| Allen, Hamlin and Davis will be indicted
| and the trial will take place ut this term OF
court. The grand jury found two bills
against Hamlin and Davis. The case awaits
the result Of the search for Davis.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-The ruins of Monday 8
great fire continue to attract thousands of
people. It Is not probable that the search
for bodies will be begun for a day or two yet,
as heated metal and bricks will prove incon
venient, osay nothing Of the apparent apathy
of the officers in making preparations for their
removal. Up to Il late hour this afternoon
there had been no further reports Of missing
persons received ut police stations, nor has any
word come as TO the fate of those reported
missing yesterday. 1t is thought that their
remains are beneath the debris.
The coroner empanneled a jury this morn
ing and viewed the remains of Otto Pesse-
necker, who was killed by jumping from the
seventh story of Hale's factory. Subsequent
ly the jury proceeded to view the ruins and
adjourned subject to the call of the coroner.
Work of tearing down the walls and chin
neys Is progressing under detail of the fire

WAR NOTES.
THE DECISIVE BATTLE.
1t is Already Begun ana the Issue of the
war Will soon be Determined.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-The Graphic's special
cable from London says that the great for
ward movement of the Russian army has at
length begun. Since the battle OF Plevna the
Russians have been content to simply main =
tain their position until they hurried forward
reinforcements and got everything in readi-
ness for their advance movement along the
whole line. 1t is safe to say that the BATTLES
of this present week are big with the fate Of
Turkey and Europe. Thus far attack seems
to be principally directed on the left wing of
the Turkish army commanded by Osman
Pasha Their object seems to be to turn the
Turkish wing in the direction of the Balkans
! 60 10 throw Oamnn Pnsha'a army back On
| the Danube and thus destroy it.
| Some apprehensions are felt here as to the
decisive victory. The road TO Constantinople
| is open to them as they have succeeded in
holding the pass Of Shipka against all the
powers Of the commander-in-chief Of the
| Turkish armies.
| A Russian victory would create panic in ali
the capitals Of Europe, because it would be
| followed by threats of English intervention
while Austria would necessarily become
alarmed at the possible fate of the Danubar
Principalities.
| The English people had, Of late. began tt
believe that the fighting was substantially
over for this year, and consols were in very
buoyant condition In consequence. The battle
which is now taking place is viewed with
great alarm, as decisive victory by the Rus
slams would create % panic in the stocl
market.
The battle began Monday morning and Il
now raging with violence over hundret
miles of country. The slaughter will be ter
rble and the result will be disastrous to on
side or the other.

THE LEE STATUE,

It was our pleasure yesterday afternoon TO-.
have an opportunity Of inspecting that most
artistic and natural model OF an equestrian
statue for the proposed Lee monument, fresh
from the hands Of it's able designer, Mr.. Julio,
the well known artist Of our city. It needed but
cursory glance to at once recognize the faith
full following after nature. In pose and line both
horse and figure are simply grand, and the posi-
ton chosen, one that It's novelty only proves its
strict trushfulness.
Gen. Lee Is represented as seated on biz old
charger, whose well developed muscles stand ont
indicative Of the strain upon them ss the rider
suddenly has checked him and drawn him back
almost upon his launches. The bride hand of
Gen. Lee is raised to the height Of his bresst. and
the horses head and neck, in response to tho
movement has suddenly stopped, the forelegs
braced forward, whilst the hind ones are gath
cred beneath his body, showing most truhfuly
the sudden cessation Of vigorous action.
The pose Of the veteran Ia perfect. As all
horsemen know, rider with loose rein draws
the bride far back in sharp, short stop, and for
moment both rider and horse are In o kind Of
equilibrium between inertia and momentum. Tk
Is at this moment that Mr.. Julio has caught his
subject, and nothing could be mere appropriate
than the action. AS this statue should, and un-
doubtedly will be- OF colossal size, it behooves
those who have charge Of the work to see that
Its execution falls into no ''uncaDny" hands. No
one but master should execute the beautiful
design Of Julio, and VIC know Of no one in Amer
cs who could now be entrusted with the work
In France there is one, however, whose "Jeanne
DArc" has made his reputation world wide, and
that is M. Chapu. He has received all the frst
honors OF France, and to-day stands at the head
Of all sculptors In equestrian statues. He, in
duced by the great painter, Bonnat. s willing to
undertake this work. III work Of art is wanted
an artist should be selected to execute IT,
