ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-James Taylor,
Thomas Jones and James Dickson, who were
arrested for breaking into the hardware store
Of Andrew N. Stephan, this city, about a
month ago, made an attempt TO break Jail on
Sunday night last. They had cut out two of
the window frames, which are of wood, and
had nearly succeeded in picking the iron
gratings loose. The third man, confined in
a cell above, took up two boards from the
fioor, intending TO join his comrades below,
but was prevented by the manner IN which
the joists are placed, they being too close for
n man to pass between them; being thus
foiled he made an attempt to loosen the staple
which holds the bolt of the iron door of the
cell. Sheriff Woods heard a pounding, and
on going into the passage heard some one in
the Jail calling, and on proceeding to the
main entrance of the prison, found that two
other prisoners were endeavoring to give an
alarm. Deputy Sheriff Haines and Bailif
Zeiber were sent for and on their arrival the
prisoners were secured By hobbies. On
searching them two pocket knives, two case
knives, an oyster knife, key of freight car
LOT the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a razor,
and two fine steel saws were obtained. 1t is
"a mystery to the Sheriff how they came into
possession of these articles, as they were
searched when first committed, and must
have been obtained from outside parties. A
Baltimore detective was here recently and
represented the above parties as desperate
characters, and said their photographs adorn-
ed the rogues gallery in that city.

edy the most gratifying relief when distressed

Wakefulness, Palpitation of the Heart, Liver
Disorders, Costiveness, Pain in the Stomach,
Heartburn, Cramps, etc. is pleasant expe-

Another remarkable feature of this remedy is
its powerful specific action on the skin and
mucous surfaces of the throat and lungs by
which it unfailingly cures the worst cases of
Cough, Cold and Sore Throat It cures in a
wonderfully short time, removes all soreness
from the lungs, and protects the feeble from
