Crops IN THE MIDDLE STATES. =

CRoPs IN THE MIDDLE STATES. -
CLEVELAND, june l3.-The Leader
this morning published from nearly all
the important points in Northern Ohio
and some places in western Pennsylva-
MIA, giving the condition of the crops.
The frosts of last week did very little
damage; there will be about a two
thirds crop of wheat. The prospects
are that the corn crop will be failure,
the cause of which is the long dry
weather, which prevailed this season
previous to last week. Oats are some
what better than corn, though there
will not be over a thirds crop.
The hay crop will be very light on ac-
count of the drought. There will pro-
badly be fair yeild of potatoes; fruits,
particularly apples, will be very light.

JAIL BREAK IN VIRGINIA CITY.


FIVE HAKD CASES MAKE THEIR ESCAPE.
On Sunday evening FIVE prisoners confined
in the county Jail at Virginia City made theil
escape. They were William Langin, ALA,
Red Mike" indicted for the murder o.
Patrick Leonard Mark Brown, Jr., indicted
for horse-sseallng, and Latlerty, Rosenbaugh
and Klein, three young men sent up frenl
Gold Hi on charges of burglary. Their
method of escape WAS very simple. They
made hole through the brick wall with a
piece of gas pipe and then went through.
A number of Migrants were in the Jail at the
time, but they concluded that the jail was
good enough for them and remained. Red
Mike worked as a hod carrier on the Court
house from the time work Was begun ON it
till it was finished, and it is reasonable to
suppose that he had a good idea as to
where the weak spots were in the work. An
examination shows that the brick were put in
very loosely with coarse sand and lime, no
cement being used, and if the wall is the same
all around moderately industrious man

with a common jack knife in less tnan an
hours time. Sheriff Williamson, as soon as
he was informed of the fight of the prisoners,
telegraphed in every direction, giving descrip-
.ions of the men and offering 800 reward for
the capture of each. The officers of Carson,
Reno, Truckee, Wadsworth, Wipnemucca,
Elko and all other points along the railroad
east and west are on the look out 1t is not
however, that the men will be such
fools as to show themselves in towns for some
time to come. The general belief is that with
the exception of Brown the escapes have not |
eft Virginia, but are being kept concealed by
friends. Brown, who is regarded as par
icularly bold and talented horse. thief, is
thoroughly familiar with the country in every
direction, and it is anticipated that the news
# the theft of horse will be the first indica-
ion of the direction he has taken. 1t is also
believed that the man no retakes Red Mike

THE STOREY COUNTY JAIL-The seven men
who broke Jail in Virginia City on Sunday
evening escaped without any special trouble.
They simply kicked hole through the brick
wall and walked out. All went except the
tramps, who appeared pretty we'll satisfied
with their sure findings and considering the fac.
that Winter is coming on they showed a
remarkable amount of good sense. Some of
the men who made their escape helped build
the wall of the Jail under Peter Burk, the
Contractor. One of them mixed the mortar
and knew it was penetrabls stuff Burk
should have known enough about jails to have
built them better. The county of Storey may
congratulate itself on the escape of these
murderers and horse thieves for the trials of
most of them before Comstock jury would
have resulted in an acquittal any how and
cost thousands of dollars. Up to the present
writing none of the refugees nave been found
A SHIFrIEss CALAMITY Some wag in
Virginia city credited Farmer Treadway with
the following remark: "f you want to wear
out the Utes give them bill against J. w.
Varney or Jim Rule and tell 'em to collect it."
Now the truth of the matter is that Farmer
never made such remark in his
life. But the papers credited it to him and
the ether day he got letter from Rule, his
bid friend, asking an explanation of his con-
luct. This was the first intimation the agri-
,ulturst had that such remark had been
made by anybody, and of course he wrote a
etter to Rule Immediately, repudiating all
connection with the remark. AS far as Rule |
q concerned Framer Treadway considers him |
N the ssnare. but for Varney he has serious |
loubts of there being any nutriment in him.
