PRISON ESCAPE.
Exciting Pursuit of the Fugi-
tiypS

LOUISVILLE, July 3l.--A Frankfort
special to the CVurier-JOurndt says: A
little after 5 O'Clock this morning, the
citizens of Frankfort residing in the
neighborhood of the penitentlary were
aroused from their slumbers by the
rapid firing of small guns and LOUD
clamor of voices. Some fifteen or twen-
ty shots were heard in rapid succession,
and loud shots indicating another exc
dus from the "black hole" Those VINO
got 10 their windows and doors early
enough were witnesses to the escapade.
Two men were seen coming down arope
descending from the west wall about
FORTY feet from the corner. They reached
the sidewalk and paused a moment, then
they turned and struck out toward the
hills. The firing was from the guards
inside, and on the east wall. One man,
the last TO come down the rope, was ap-
parently wounded, but he struck out
with determination and managed to
keep up with his comrades until hidden
in the undergrowth of a hill path.
large party was soon in pursuit and
before seven O'Clock three of them
were returned to the prison:
The plan OF escape was well lald ana
well executed, and but for the vigilance
and promptness of the attaches of the
penitentiary all OF them would have
effected their escape. The early hour
was propitious, and it was at a time
when there were fewer guards on duty
than at any other time during the day.
The adventurous convicts were Willy
NJ. Barnett, life convict, sent from
Mason for the murder of a man
named Tale; Moses Barnett, his
brother, sent from Mason Ior
some offense; John Terrilla,
life convict, sent from Lincoln, for MUIR
der; James X. Martin, sent from Logan,
five years for horse stealing; Joseph
Lambert, sent from Fulton, five years
for grand larceny. Those recaptured
were: Moses Barnett, James r. Martin
and Joseph Lambert. Moses Barnett
had received two pistol shots, each pass
ing through lobe of his sit-down; both
are deep flesh wounds, and in the flesh
lest part of his body. VIM. Barnett and
John Terrill, both life convicts, are still
at large.

Taxation of Corporations.

HARRIsBURG, July 3l.-ln response to
numerous inquiries, Auditor-General
Schell will tomorrow issue a circular
relative to the registration of corpora
tons under the general revenue laws.
He SAYS that all incorporated companies
and institutions organized under the
laws of the State, or doing business in
the State, including banks, National and
State, and banking, bridge, canal, ceme-
terry, coal, gasf iron, improvement, in
surance, manufacturing, mining, market,
navigation, oil, plank-road, railroad,
telegraph, transportation, turnpikes,
road and water companies, building and
loan associations and savings institu-
tions, and all other incorporated COM
panies and institutions, excepting
churches; and all limited partnerships,
are required to register without regard
to the nature or taXibility OF the busl-
ness. The Auditor General says he is
aware the requirement is sweeping, but
the law having made it incumbent on
the Department 10 ascertain and deter
mine whot corporations are taxable,
there is no way to attain that object eX-
sept by registering at the Department.
The new registration of corporations and
limited partnerships is required without
regard to former registration. The reg
istry must be filed on or before Septem-
ber 7, 1879, to relieve the corporations,
etc, from the penalty of $500 imposed
by the new law. This penalty will be
rigidly enforced on those failing to COM
ply with the requirements OF the law.
Companies and partnerships claiming
exemption from taxation should accom-.
pany the registry with a sworn state
ment showing the nature of their busi-
ness and the grounds for exemption.
The registryS will be carefully examined
after September eth, and corporations,
etc, not liable to taxation will be noti-
fled

advanced t@2s per cent. in the gener-
al list, Northwestern common lead
ing the upward movement. During the
afternoon there was reaction OF t@l
per cent, the coal stocks showing the
most weakness, owing TO the slight re-
duction of circular prices of coal for
August issued by the Delaware and
Hudson and Pennsylvania Coal Com
panies, as compared with the prices OBJ
tanned at the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western auction sale OF Yesterday.
Toward the close there was renewed ac-
tivity and buOyancy, especially ior
Granger shares and trunk lines, and in
a number of instances the prices made
in the closing dealings were not only
the highest Of the year but the highest
for many years past. The basis Tor this
marked confidence, especially in west
ern stocks, is the continued favorable
adyices from the West in re-
gard TO harvesting. Wheat il in fine
condition, with a prospect for large
yield and the certainty OF heavy de-
mand from Europe for our surplus
cereals. Again, the earnings Of the
Granger roads is a great incentive Ia
buying i'm these shares. The North
western road, for instance, for the first
four days of the fourth week of July
shows an increase in the earnings OF
$4,000, which makes gain a. the
opening OF the fiscal year, from June
lst to July 18th, oi Si6O,OOO, or about -
per cent. This is looked on as insuring
! per cent dividend on the common
stock this year, and hence the sharp
rise in those shares to-day. st. Paul
stocks were up for the same reason that
Northwestern advanced. Some OF the
Saratoga operators who were sellers OF
stocks a few days since, were large buy
ers to-day at higher prices. Among the
Trunk line shares, Lake Shore WAS the
great feature, being largely dealt in At
the highest price Of the year. Burling'

The party which met with the accl-

bered about twenty-five persons. They
were spending few days on the 1t.
Lawrence, and had this morning hired
the steam yachts harrington and jose
phine with view 10 visiting Kingston,
Ontario and other points. They steamed
up the river from thousand Island Park
To this place, and as the josephine was a
slower boat than the Harrington, 1t was
proposed To lash the two boats and thus
keep the party together. As soon as
this was done, they proceeded on their
Journey, but had not gone forty rods
when il wrs found that the stays were
not properly adjusted, and the Jose
phine commenced taking water. With
out lessening the speed, an effort was
made To loosen the stays. The bow
line was let out till the Josephine had
swung around sideways, when 1t caught
i'm a knot, and she Capsized and sunk in
eighty feet of water in haIf minute. AS
the boat tipped over, everyone on board
fell into thewater and many wered drawn

occurred. Five ladies were drowned.
None of the bodies have been recovered.
Divers arrived tonight, and efforts will
be made in the morning 10 find the
bodies aud raise the Josephine.
Great blame is attached to the captains

and lack of judgment.
