Affairs Of the American SUNDAY School
Union---Crookedness Practiced by the
Management.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.-The following card
explains itself: ssPhiladelphia: It is due to
the friends of the American Sunday School
union throughout the country, that
there should be some correction of the various
misstatements in regard to its affairs which
have recently appeared in the public press.
The finance committee have made a very care.
full and thorough investigation without dis
covering any defalcation. The, find that some
mistakes have been made in the management of
the publishing department. The prices paid
for work and material have been too high and
a considerable sum could have been saved to
the union had competition been more generally
invited. Better methods have already been
adopted and business facilities
improved SO that the books of
the union can be furnished at even
lower prices than heretofore In the manage
ment of the missionary department, the mon
eys of which are kept entirely distinct from
the publishing department, the committee
have found no defect or neglect, nor are its
funds IN any way impaired. The American
Sunday School Union is amply able to meet
promptly all it's obligations, and is in no fnan-
cial embarrassment. For the establishment
and fostering Of Sunday Schools, the sustain
ceptionable Sunday School literature, its means
and facilities are. undiminished, and the union
desires now, as it ever has enjoyed in the past
the confidence, sympathy and support of the
friends of Sunday School education throughout
the land. (Signed,) Joshua L. Bailey, Alex

Grand Juries.
Six prisoners escaped from the county jail

Just finished their examination of the build

on the wooden door, as affording easy means
of egress. Their opinion had hardly been
formed, scarce expressed, when the whole
sale escape was made, and the fugitives
speedily sought security.
Among those who were successful in max
ing the outbreak we're John W. Cronn,
Jacob Keoapp, Joseph Summers, Joseph
Connallin and James Sullivan. These men
had an outlet made for themselves
| and they were gallant enough to take one
woman with them. Maud Murdoch was the
one favored with an escape at the same time
the others got away. The escape, too, was
made in broad daylight, at time

the passing to and fro of numberless people.

follows:
l will accept and give my whole energy to

Dr. Bemis is at present the professor

which will be issued tomorrow, Will contain
the following: The members of the commits
sion will assemble at New Orleans az soon as
possible, and having organized with DIR. Bemls
as chairman and one Of your number as record
err, at once commence the work. 1t is hoped to
make the investigation exhaustive IN every I'M
portant direction, but from the commencement
of your work and continuance OF the epidemic
you will direct your inquiries to observations.
especially to the causes of the present epidemic
rather than natural history of the yellow fever
itself, which line of inquiry may be pursued
later.
subsequently should the contributions of
money be sufficient, or Congress so direct, the
great object of investigation is to CLEAN all
important facts possible to be obtained which
have reference to measures of prevention OF
future epidemics. After completing your
work in New Orleans you will visit as many OF
the cities and towns where the yellow fever
prevails as is practicable before the 10th of No
Vember next, which day the American Pub
lie Health association will convene in special
session, probably in the city of Richmond, t.
discuss the facts which you have gathered, and
which you will submit prior to that time IN 8
