IVUHOSSVVs A Cruel Trick by Jail Brsakers

Cruel Trick by Jail Breakers.
 DALTON, Aug. 1.-Two prisoners escaped few days ago from jail by cunning but cruel plan. While the jailer was feeding them, one asked for some salt, and as the jailer inserted his hand between the bars with the article required it was rudely seized and he was jerked up against the bars, when a handful of lime was thrown into his face, binding him completely for thetime. Hold ing him down he was relieved of his keys, the cell was opened, and the prisoners es- capped. The jailer is suffering severely, and it is feared that he will lose his sight.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Those Spanish Outrages-Only an Out
 rage on the State Department.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-The Department of State has been officially informed that the outrage reported bya Spanish gunboat on the schooner Merritt, of Philadelphia, never took place, and that the whole story was hoax. Of course the department feels outraged by this bold attempt to involve the country in a quarrel with friendly nation. Hereafter it will be difficult to induce the department to take notice of reported outrages unless they are vouched for by the very best authority. The reported outrage the Baltimore schooner George Washington is regarded at the department as all right and is being looked after. Up to the present time there is no reason to believe but what the story of the Boston schooner Newcomb is all right.

Drowned i'm the Connecticut River.
 BOSTON, August 16.-John E. Taylor and wife, of Springfield, were out rowing this afternoon with Mrs H. w. Southworth and another lady on the Connecticut river. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs Southworth had the oars, while the other ladies were in the stern. Sud denly Mrs Taylor jumped overheard and her husband sprang after her. Both were drowned. The theory to the cause for Mrs Taylor's action is insanity or doubtful relations of the husband with the other par ties. Taylor, whose age was 36, was treas urer of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur- ance Company. Both were very popular and moved in the best society of Springfield.

Importing Fine Horses.

NEW YORK, Aug 16.-The steamer Greece, which arrived last week, brought 97 horses, of the Percheron breed, for M. W. Durham, an importer of horses, who lives at Wayne, Illinois. About one-fourth of them are colts, and the rest are fuil-grown stallions; their weights ranging from l, 400 to 2,0oo pounds. MT. Dunham says: 'sSince 1872 I have brought over from France between 300 and 400 of them. I put them on my stock farm at Wayne and sell them whenever an oppor- tunity occurs. Perche is plateau between the Seine and Loire rivers, about 100 miles from Paris. The people live entirely by ag- riculture and by raising these horses. They cost from $500 to $2,0o0. It also costs a great deal to import them. In 1873 it cost me $500 for every horse brought across the ocean. Now, however, when I bring them in large numbers it costs only little more than half as much for each. When sell these stallions, will get from $1 ,500 to $3,- GOO each for them D

Swept by a FIood-Dend1y Peril of Wor- shipers-Sone Drowned i'm the Rushing
 Waters.
 gal states that owing to the recent heavy rains 8 terrible flood yesterday swept down the glen of Glendare, a village in Donegal county, which devastated the parish church at Cor recrona and imperiled the entire congrega- tion, which was at mass at the time. The flood came with great suddenness, fairly sweeping around the edifee, and several per sons of the congregation were swept away while attempting to escape. Some of these were subsequently rescued, while others were drowned. The priest, after doing all that lay in his power to direct the flight of the people, succeeded in gaining position on high ground. The bridge across the stream at that point was demolished. Great excitement was created in the neighborhoed, and parties of men are now engaged in searching for the bodies of the drowned.
 A dispatch from Valencia, the starting point of Atlantic cables, says that the thunder storm of yesterday was the most fearful known for years, and that the lightning struck and fused the telegraph wires in several places.
