A prisoner going West on train 8 on

A prisoner going West on train 8 on the
Erie, recently, effected marvellous escape.
He was handcuffed to his keeper and his
feet were shackled. The keeper fell asleep
and the prisoner, whose name could not be
learned, got his hands loose and stealing
cautiously out of the car, jumped off as the
train was going at high rate of speed
three miles west of Hancock. The keeper
missed bis man at Deposit, and news Of his
escape was sent along the line. Examina-
tion showed that the prisoner had slid
about thirty feet on the track when he
jumped from the car. Coming to stand
still, he sat down and broke the shackles
from his feet with stone, and left the iron
lying on the track. He is said to be pris-
oner from Nebraska, on his way to Auburn.

King William county, Virginia, but had
been residing in Philadelphia, appeared at
Police headquartersin Washington Tuesday
and stated that he had been inspired to kill
Secretary Blaine. He asked where the Sec
retary lived, and exhibited revolver. As
he was evidently insane, he was arrested,
and on examination said further that he
was not clear whether his mission was to
assassinate Secretary Blaine or General
Arthur; that he had been inspired by the
spirits to kill General Grant during his ad-
ministration, but was defeated in his object.
He said that if given an opportunity, he
would explain the manner in which Gui
teau was prompted to assail the President.
He has been sent to the insane asylum.

destroyed, but otherwise seems to be the

Dunbar Furnace Company, letters have
been received by several of his friends, warn
ing them that if measures are taken to
secure the capture of his murderers, like
fate will be theirs. N. F. Sanford and
Thos. Lynch were the last two to receive
these warnings. The Molly Maguires are

from thirty to forty feet more will be added
before work upon it will be suspended for

will be $50 feet high. The President of the

sent by the King of Siam and one sent by
the State of Nebraska are on the way to be

The Japanese are ahead of us in good
many things. One instance of this is seen
in their clever way of estimating the dis
tance from the time that elapses before the
echo reaches their ears. Acting upon this
hint, Prof. Ayrton has suggested that by
use of vibrating reed sunk some feet below
the water in the region Of eternal calm, the
echo might be made evident by applying
the ear to woolen surface dipped into the
water. This idea is receiving good deal
of consideration.

In this community, all PERSONAL all parti
san feeling seems buried in the common SEN
timent of sorrow. While justly, perhaps,
no political significance could possibly be at
tached to the act of half crazed assassin,
the nation yet felt itself struck at and
wounded in the person of the Chief Magis
trate. 1t was the President as we'll as the
man who lay dying all day yesterday in the
White House, and the whole country felt
that the threatened loss and sorrow were
its own.

The news Of the shooting of the Presi-
dent was broken to his mother, on Sunday,
at Solon, Ohio. She had been so much
overcome by the fatal accident which result
ed in the death of Thomas Garfield and Mrs.
Arnold, that the family had kept from her
the intelligence of tie attempted assassina-
ton. But Sunday morning she felt better
and spoke of attending Mrs. Arnolds fune-
raj. In announcing her intention, she re-
marked: "On Saturday Thomas was buried;
to-day, Cornelia. wonder who it will be
next Sunday" Mrs. Irowbridge, at whose
house she then was, sent for Mrs. Larabee,
another daughter. When the latter came,
Mrs. Garfield inquired if she was going to
Mrs. Arnold's funeral. Mrs. Larabee re-
piled she guessed she could not as some
thing had happened, SO the sister thought
it best not to go. "What has happened9"
inquired Mrs. Garfield. "We have heard
that James is hurt" replied Mrs. Larabee.
"HowP by the cars?" asked the mother.
''No, he was shot by an assassin, but he was
not killed." answered the daughter. "The
Lord help mel" exclaimed Mrs. Garfield.
Mrs. Larabee assured her mother that the
latest reports were favorable, and showed
that the President was resting quietly, and
in fair way to recover. "When did you
hear this?' queried Mrs. Garfield. eyes
terday noon, but we thought it best not to
tell you. The news was not as favorable as
to-day" was the reply.
"You were very thoughtful. | am glad
you did not tell me-" said Mrs. Garfield,
adding that she thought something had
happened as she had noticed that the man
ner of her daughter had been peculiar to-
ward her, yesterday. She bore up under
the intelligence with much fortitude.
She read the dispatches calmly and said:
s'How conld anybody be SO cold hearted as
to want to kill my baby?" In the afternoon
she dictated the following despatch to her
grandson, Henry A. Garfield, Executive
Mansion, Washington:
ssThe news was broken to me this morn
ing, and shocked me very much. Since re-
ceiving your telegram l feel much more
hopeful. Tell James that hear he is cheer
full and that am glad of it. Tell him to
keep in good spirits and accept the love and
sympathy of mother, sisters and friends. .

OPINIONS FROM THE SOUTH.

From the Augusta { (Gd) Chronicle (Dena)
Because this is the American Union, and
because our President is the fit ruler of a
free people, a wall of righteous indignation
swells in unbroken chorus over this whole
land, protesting against the gigantic wrong,
and demanding justice against the villain
who Mortified the Republic and disgraced
the image of his Maker.
From the Richmond Dispatch fDena)
Though nations may swell the Cry of in
dignatiOn called forth by the attempt to as
sassinate the President of the United States
there will, in all the earth, be no sincerer
mourners than the people of the southern
is a trne man, and he .despises treachery.
cruelty and assassination. Well is it for the
man who sped the bullet of the assassin
that he did not do it in Southern city, for
hot Southern blood would have terminated
his life without waiting to learn whether he
was a mariac or not-as he was. we take it
for granted. We all feel as if personal
wrong had been done to us-as if he we're
bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh who
was basely assaulted in Washington yester-
day. We claim him at once as our PIesi-
dent, and if which heaven forbid he should
die in consequence of his wounds, every
Southern house will go in mourning, and
every Southern heart will bleed, as every
Southern tongue claims the martyr as its own.
From the Colunbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun. tDea,a.)
The news of the attempt to take the life
of the President caused intense excitement
in this city. The deepest interest is felt
throughout the entire community, and we
but utter the sentiments of our citizens and
of the whole people in this section when we
express sincere wish for his speedy recov-
cry. His death will be looked upon by our
people as public calamity. Business secu
rity, public progress and civilization receive
this blow of the assassin. The South has
cause for sadness, the Union for tears.
