A PLOT TO EsCAPE.'

A PLOT TO ESCAPE
The circumstances which led to his
arrest are as follows: Colonel Lis
comb, the superintendent of the pen
itentiary, had information causing him
to suspect that some Of the cOnvlcts
were making arrangements to escape.
In pursuing his Investigations he d.
rected one of the white prisoners to
seerete himself under the bed Of one
of the suspected conVicts. While
there other convicts came in and ell
gagged in conversation with the negro
about the plot and disclosed the plan
of operations, all of which was duly
reported by the man under the bed to
the authorities, who Immediately
summoned twenty or thirty Of the
convicts for examination. When
they found that their plot had been
discovered some Of them peached on
Others, and many openly confessed
their completely in the affair. 1t was
aocertained that eighty Of the negro
convicts had entered ixto a solemn
conspiracy to escape at all hazards.
They had managed to conceal clubs,
hatchets, knives and axes, and had
agreed to make their attempt at es
cape at daybreak Sunday morning,
May l. When the guards came 10
release them from their cells, they
would simultaneously rush upon and
overpower them, and, if necessary,
murder them. The plan was thor
oughly arranged. and would doubtless
have been executed but for the dis
coyery made by the superintendent.
CONTEMPLATING IMPLEMENTS DIS
COVERED.
When the officers were prosecuting
their search for evidence against the
conspirators they discovered a band
Of counterfeiters among the white
convicts, and found dies and other i'm
plements for counterfeiting concealed
IN the cells. Large quantities OF coin,
silver dollars, fifty cent pieces and
quarters were also found. 1t is said
that Columbia is flooded with this
money. The matter has occasioned
much excitement here especially since
it is expected that other arrests will
be made tomorrow and additional
facts elected.

such radiance OF warmth emanate from
the white house before. 1t has never
lacked for visitors or entertainments in
any administration. 1t is the quality
of its life which gave it its present
distinctive charm. No mistress of
the executive mansion who ever entered
it had more personal prejudice to over
come than Mrs Hayes. Not that the
prejudice was personal to herself. 1t
touched everything belonging to the new

OF practical jokes, nnd is bad egg on
general principles. Last week Mr.. Ep-

man. whose candor would carry convic-
tion to the mind of tho seeker after
righteousness; and his presence in the
prayer meeting. at the sociable or at the

will be conducted on the square. Mr..
Hoyt knew young man named Johnnie
DarlinS, who was attending Rush Medi-
cal college,, aud through him was permit

upon the missionary work being done
there. Mr.. Hoyt was introduced to a
numb of the wicked young men who
were irving the late lamenied, aud after
