Deaths.

At Tariffvile, Ct., Oct Sth, James P. Brace, son of John P Brace, and native of Litch- ield aged 55 years.
 The death of James P. Brace removes de- voted philanthropist from a peculiarly useful field of practical work. The single fact that MT. Brace found homes in the West for 1O,- 900 poor children is itself an eloquent epitaph. Few benevolent associations have been able to do as much real service to the cause of human- ty as the Children's Aid Society, of which he was one of the active agents.-Trs- bu3e

Some Interesting Points About Its
Future outlook.

Some Interesting Points About Its
Future outlook.
The Board OF Directors OF the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie railroad were to meet
Yesterday to authorize the extension of
the road between Norw' TX and Toledo.
The road is boominga d work progress
ing all aloRg the line. Those interested
are fully convinced that the road will be
built and completed inside OF year from
Wheeling via Norwalk to Toledo, and
from Norwalk to Huron.
Judge Cochran,in short talk Sunday
night, said: 1.-TWO lines have been sur
veyed one passing through Fremont,
the other an air line from Norwalk to
Toledo, crossing the Sandusky River
about SIX miles north OF Fremont. The
air line is about three miles shorter than
the line through Fremont, and the FREE
mont route will cost at least 500, 900
more than the short line, exclusive Of
the increased length, in consequence Of
the more expensive crossing OF the San
dusky River and valley aud the greater
cost OF the right OF way through the
towns of Monroevllle, Bellevue. Clyde,
and Femout."
Other information was obtained, it
being in reference to the standing OF the
concern financially, and it was learned
that money TO build the road is furnished
by Commodore Garretson, VIM. Walter
Phelps, of New York City, and their
associates who are known to be large
capitalists and men OF high standing,
and who have already expended more
than 81 100000 on the road. Their
financial ability is unioubted, and they
are pushing the work as rapidly rs pos
sible.
The road will be tirst-class in every
respect, laid with steel rails, iron bridges
and equipped in first class manner; the
road will not be bonded for over Sl5 900
per mile and $500 per mile in stock
issued for purposes OF construction and
equipment; it is. to be built for cash,
and when completed will have no float
ing debt and the work on the road from
Narwalk TO Toledo will be commenced
as soon as the route is decided.
The little town of Fremont quickly
raised a $4,000 subscription asked, and
like results are found all along the road.
Ex President Hayes still continues to
take lively interest in the road.
The grading from Massillon to Huron,
of Lake Erie. is about completed and
twenty five miles OF track is laid, and
trains are running on the same between
Pike and Wellington. The track laying
is progressing at the rate of one and one.
half miles pc. day when there are no
delays. The rails weigh Sc pounds and
5000 ties are being used to the mile, and
the contractor has enough material for
100 miles.

Escaped from the Lookup

Yesterday morning in the police court
the three Pittsburgh river men who dis
tipguished themselves on the wharf
Monday morning, were brought before
His Honor and fined for creating riot
and fighting. Merriman paid hs assess
ment and was allowed to depart. Mike
Kelly and Chss. Looley, the other
worthless, did not pay and were sent
back to the lookup to remain until it was
ascertained whether their friends would
pay the fine and costs imposed in each
case. In case this should not be done
they were to 90 to the hill.
The fellows were locked up in the cell
isrthest from the keepers Office, and in
which there is large window looking
into the court yard on the south.
The keeper on duty, after court ad.
iourned, proceeded to give the premises
a swabbing out and was so engaged that
he paid no attention TO his prisoners.
About l O'Clock he CHANGED to pass
down the corridor and noticed that they
were not to be seenin the cell, although
the door was securely locked. The
above is his story; entering the cell he
saws he found that the prisoners had
apparently bent the bars OF the window
by bracing their feet sgainst them, and
thus made an opening through
which they mansged to squeeze.
1t must have been a squeeze indeed,
for several small men endeayored to
Chamber through the hole, which was
only about foot wide, at the largest
spot. The bars had the appearance OF
having had something rubbed against
them-such as would result from some
one going through the opening. Both
Of the escaped prisoners were large and
powerful men. The police are on the
lookout and win endeavor to nab them.
As yet, there seems no one to attach
any blame to.
