A STATISTICIAN'S VISIT.

He carried green umbrella and an aggressive hat,
and even the court officers gave way before him as
he came down the aisle and ogled the whole para
phernalia of justice with glance at once searching
and critical. Eight lawyers lowered about him. but
were scared away by the dignity OF his presence.

PORTER AND IRVING.

WHERE HAVE THE JAIL BIRDS FLOWN ?-THE
POLICE OF PAssAIc, N. j., DISCUSSED WITH
SHERIFF RILEY AND SHERIFF RILEY DIS
GUsrED WITH THEM.
The city of Passac, N. j. is still considerably ex-
cited concerning the attempt to arrest Porter and
Irving there. Wednesday morning Most of the
community and all OF the police force are firm in
their belief that the arrest seriously in
tended. Police Captain Odds claims that he was not
let into the secret of the matter till he and his
officers shadowing some of Sheriff Rileys
deputies and threatened to arrest some of them for
suspicously skulkng about the town. Then. in
order to induce them and Detective Whitehead not
to move in the matter. but only to look
on, they were informed by the Sheriff that
the limit of time for the $4,000 reward
had expired and that such reward would be paid.
Sheriff Riley subsequently informed them that had
the attempt at capture been successful he would
have divided 81 600 among them. George Rettenger.

show that he was as generally suspected. in
any way implicated with Porter and irving.
The police have discovered that shortly after the
flight of the prisoners two men answering, their
description bought skiH and pair OF oars for 500

bridge The thieves at once sprang INTO the skin
and pushed out into the river but there all trace OF
them is lost it not being known whether they went
up down. They were well acquainted with the
river as they INDUCED in frequent sailing excur-
sons during their sojourn in Passaic, and the gen.
eral opinion is that they fled to Newark.
sHERIFF's REroRT.
Sheriff Riley declined to state yesterday whether
or he attributed the failure to the New Jersey
authorities. 1t must be understood however, he
said. that he was in strange place. The local
officers knew every inch of the ground. they had
been working the case. aud he thought 1t

THE LATEST.
Acting upon the Information given by this report
tho friends OF the ship canal secured the insertion
OF an item in the River and Harbor Appropriation
bill last year. providing for tho expenditure Of
part OF the money in the examination of the
Peninsula of Florida with q view to the construc-
ton of ship canal from the st. Mary's River to tho
Gulf of Mexico" The sum OF $500 was allotted
tor the work. aud one of the subordinates of Gen.
erai Gilmore began the survey last November. Tho
immediate object of the undertaking at this time
was to settle conclusively If possible. or def
nitely possible. the question OF the availability of
the Okefenokee swamp as q feeder for long line of
summit level Tor such q canal. The work prose-
cuted until last April. and transit and level lines
were from Fernandina and Jacksonville to Lake
City and around and across the Swamp. Lines wero
also from tho suwanec River to the
Gulf. and 1t is reported that a number of
good lines for such canal may be had
in this region. A number of lakes and ponds
were found and their satisfactory elevation deter
mined. Work has been resumed recently, and the
engineer In charge wrote few days since to Captain
Carlisle Patterson. In charge of tho Coast Survey
