PRISONERS TRY TO GET AWAY
Twoprisonersnamed James Daley and
Patrick Goodman, who had been con-
victed in Elk county of burglary, and
sentenced to the Penitentiary, made
desperate attempe to escape from Sheriff
Oyster and Deputy Wensel, of the
county named, while on their way to
the State prison on Saturday. At Ir-
vineton, when the train had stopped,
the two convicts, who were handcuffed
together, started for the car door, but
were intercepted by the Sheriff, when
they made fierce attack on the officer.
Just as the battle commenced stone
mason entered the car, carrying his
tools, and the Sheriff seized his long
handled hammer, with which he be-
labored the prisoners until they quieted
down. On reaching the Peniten-
tiary the two men were found to be so
badly injured as to require the atten-
ton of a surgeon.-COn,. Gazette.

The Forest Press says: Messrs.
J. d. Hulings and II. A. Adams, on
Monday last, started for Ridgway as
delegates to the Greenback Senatorial
Conference, and went as far as Kane
Monday night. Tuesday morning
soon after they had taken their seats
on the cars, there was a collision, and
several men made narrow escape
with their lives. The train on which
they had taken passage was freight
heavily loaded, with only one coach
attached. They were starting up pre-
paratory to start, when they were
run into by 40 engine. AS the passen-
gers rushed from the cars to escape,
Mr.. Adams was caught between two
cars and severely jammed, and barely
escaped being crushed to death. He,
however, fortunately came off with
out any broken bones, and is able
to be around town with the help
of couple of canes. Mr.. Hulings
also narrowly escaped injury, but was
unhurt and continued his journey. A
brakeman had an ankle sprained and
the passenger coach was demolished.

The STEAMBOAT SUFFERERS The
sufferers from the steamboat disaster,
chronicled last week, Moses Shirley,
the fireman, and Thos. Bell, the en-
gineer, are in as comfortable a
condition as might be expected.
Neither of them have at any time
been considered dangerous; but their
burns are more severe than we announ-
ced. Moses Shirley was burned on the
whole of one side and back, besides
being burned on the head and one arm
nearly broken. He is recovering from
all his injuries, but suffers as one scalded
must. He is in good heart and is not
obliged to keep his bed all the time.
Mr.. Bells burns were more severe
than Mr.. Shirley's, the scalds being
deeper in the flesh. But while he
suffers he is fast gaining, and in a
short time will be about. For some
days he suffered from the concussion,
and is yet perhaps, with numbness
in the head. Capt. Shirley was killed
instantly and sent into the air above
the tree-tops. He was at the wheel,
directly over the boiler, in the act of
steering the boat, bending over the
wheel, which struck him in the fore
head, carrying off the upper part of his
head, and was killed instantly. The
affair has put an end to steamboating
on the river at this point for con-
siderable time, no doubt, as but few
if any will be found with sufficient
public spirit to build steamer to run
for the pleasure of it, Warren Ledger.
