The letter is manly, frank, courageous, and like Blaine all over whole souled. He will support Garfield heartily" General Grosvenor thinks the Republicans will secure twelve out of the. twenty Con- gressional districts in Ohio and have fight ing chance for two more.

poses. During the confinement of the mur- derer Bill Lee, who was hanged in the yard of this jail some years ago, it was necessary to krep armed men on patrol day and night. It was reported yesterday that the prisoners Tracy and Garrison have been recaptured. A large body of armed men are securing the woods and the dense underbrush surrounding the jail in which the prisoners might hide for many days without detection.
 The prisoners of Tazewel county CHI. set fire to their straw beds at o'clock yesterday afternoon in hope that they would be taken from the jail and get chance to escape dur ingthe excitement. Barnes, the jailer, having the keys of the cells in his pocket and being absent in distant part of the city on official business, the inmates had to stand siege of smoke. On his arrival Hopkins, one of the inmates, was found almost suffocated in his cell The prisoners covered their heads with pieces of bedding and laid flat the floor, and so saved themselves from suffocation but they were too much exhausted to attempt anything like an escape when help arrived.

 Against Time.
 SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 19.-There was @ large crowd present at the Hampden Driving Park see Maud s. trot against her Rochester record of 2:114, and St. Julien in the free-for all. In the 2:30 class, for a purse of $1 1000, Par ana won the first heat, with Edwin Thorne second and John Clark third; time, 2:25a. The second heat was won by Par ana, with Freeman second and Edwin Thorne third i; time, 2:254. Parana also won the third heat and the race, with Lady Martin second and Hector third; time, 2:254.
 In the free-for-all race, for a purse of $3, 900, was won by Julien in three straight heats, with Darby second, and Hopeful third in each of the heats; time, 2:194, 2:194 2:15, the fastest ever trotted on this track. St. Julien's driver was presented with magnif- cent floral horse shoe.
 Maud S. trotted three heats, for which she had to score half dozen times. In the first she broke on the first quarter and logged around. The second she made in 2:2O4 The crowd became very impatient at the de- lays, but when the queen was sent for the last time they were again in good humor. The first quarter was slow, but on the last stretch she got down to work and she in creased her speed to the finish. The mile was trotted in 2:19, the last quarter being in 334, while the first was 361 and the half 1:1O4 A floral horse shoe in readiness for Maud, in case she beat her Rochester record was not used.

 CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Knights Templar and other visitors are rapidly leaving the city by every train. The railroads find it impos- sible to accommodate the crowds. Still there are many remaining and the city continues full of strangers. It is cool and pleasant to- day Such weather yesterday would have been great boon for the thousands attending the prize drills. The encampment is still in tact, but will no doubt be nearly deserted be- fore tonight. The display of fireworks last night was very fine, although at too late an hour Hundreds of thousands of people were kept standing on the lake front and ave nues until two or three o'clock in the morn ing, and then many were obliged to walk to their homes, in many instances three or four miles
 The Grand Encampment has been in ses- sion behind closed doors all the forenoon and is now electing officers. Much opposition was made to holding another triennial con- clave on such a magnificent scale, but it was finally decided to hold one at San Francisco in 1883, the Templars from California guar anteeing it should not cost any Sir Knight over $20 for the round trip. V. G. Benja- min Dean, of Boston, was chosen grand master.

after o'clock a man was seen coming across the bridge from the direction of Kyle's cot tage. A lad accompanied him, and together they walked rapidly until they reached the center of the bridge. They passed over the middle archway, and the man, taking of his coat, handed it to his companion. He was then dressed in~ tights with no covering on his head, but with heavy pair of shoes on He climbed upon the parapet and stood erect before the multitude, waving large white handkerchief. This was the signal for readl- ness, and two steamboats in the river below blew their whistles. The man paused for about minute longer, and then sprang from the bridge. Both feet were held tightly together and his figure was erect His hands and arms were Tapped, as birds wings are. In this man ner he continued until within about fifteen feet of the surface of the water, when he drew his arms to his side and threw his head forward. He struck the water on the middle of his back. There was moment of sus- pense, in which the spectators held their breaths, and every eye scanned the water where the man had disappeared. In less than minute he came to the surface, and struck out for the nearest craft. He was taken to the shore, and friends carried him to the hotel, where physician rubbed him His pulse was found to be at 130, and ten minutes later it was reduced to 102.
