Our citizens are taking an active in
tereSt in project for starting glass

purpose intended. 1t can be bought
Tor nine hundred dollars, which is a
pretty good figure, considering the land
for any purpose other than for a manu-
featuring establishment. We under
stand. however, that it will be pur-
chased this week, and those at the head
of the enterprise say that work will be-
gin on the buildings very shortly.

Escaped.

1t seems almost impossible to prevent
city prisoners from escaping. Either
they are bold and cunning, or chances
of escape are good, or officers are not as
they!should be, as oneby one the worst
characters take their departure before
the expiration OF their time. Yesterday,
George Boyce escaped from the force
under Weir, at the Fourteenth street
cut and Tom Downey got off on Friday.
A wholesome system OF treatment
might work cure in this respect and
an example might work wonders.
