A FLOWN BIRD.
Reddy Curran Escapes from
SteubenYille.

1t was chronicled in yesterdays REG
IsrER that a young man named Reddy
Curran had been taken to Steubenville
bv Marshal Cahill, on a charge OF bur-
giary. He was locked up, but yester-
day morning turned up missing. The
Herald tells this story:
Since Reunion Day our city authori-
ties have been quietly but perslstently
at work to find the whereabouts OF the
articles stolen from houses in the city
and neighborhood, as well as the astl-
Giles, and have been quite successful.
Yesterday Marshal Cahill wentto Wheel
ing and, proceeding to the office OF JUS
tice Phillips, swore out warrant LOT
Reddy Curran, who was charged with
entering a house in this city on the
day of the reunion and taking two shot
guns, a revolver, gold watch and other
articles of value. Search warrants were
also issued and, accompanied by Con-
stable Elwood Martin, he went across
the creek into Center Wheeling to sus-
pected house, and, after search, all the
articles were discovered except the re-
volver. Curran accompanied the Mar
shall back to the city last evening and
was placed in the lookup, along with
Michael Kelly, another party who was
operating at that time. This morning,
however, it was discovered that both
had vamoosed. Owing to the imperfect
ventilation OF the lookup it is nee
essary to leave open the transoms above
the doors at each end, and through
these transoms sticks can be passed from
outsiders to their imprisoned mates.
With these sticks it is an easy matter to
reach the cell keys hanging on the OPP
posite wall, unlock the cell doors, and
BY breaking the lock of the outside door
make their escape. This was the mod's
operandi last night, and the lookup can
never be considered secure prison
while it is necessary to leave these tran
SONS open. 1t has been suggested that
the cells be ventilated by running an
iron pipe through from one end TO the
other, and if the project is feasible,
Council should certainly considerit

In Male Attire.

Our song is OF a fine young lady nam
ed Florence GoldsbOrOugh, but familiar
" known As "Flora Gooseberry," who
now languishes in the Jail, underlying
the charge OF purlOining filthy lucre to
the amount OF $3.50 from Squire Robin
son. out the National road. Flora had
been out of employment for some time,
and deeming it probable that a man
could yet work while woman would be
compclled to seek an asylum in the
poor house, concluded to change her sex
and become 4 man, to outward view.
Accordingly she donned male attire,
dropping petticOats and assuming
coat and pantaloOns. Thus equipped
she appeared at Squire Robinsons and
was given employment.
How Flora passed her time there and
how her clothes fit her and how she
assumed a masculine style, or whether
she used tobacco or drank bad whisky
deponcnt saith not. Neither is IL
known to what extent she preserved
her incOgnitO, but one day, recently,
her employer missed $3.50 in the
lryul tender of the Republic and
the fair Flora was suspected OF
purloining the same. She was missing
and her absence coupled with other
facts, led To the suspicion that in one OF
the numerous packets of the aforesaid
male attire, the ill-gotten gains lurked
