Welearn from the Daily News that on the 20th
ultimo flye prisoners escaped from tho jail at
dreenylle. They had with kerosene lamp
burned o hole in tho overhead ceiling and getting
above II they passed to the scu,tle hole and
escaped, descending by blankets Twisted and tied
together. They had 10 jump about ton feet as
tho blankets Ind torn apart about that distance
from the ground. Tho parties who escaped are
Pink Smith, charged with assault with intent to
kill; William Williams grand larceny or horse
stealing; Samuel Hubbard, same charge; An-
drew Jenkins grand larceny in stealing live
stock; Edward Palmer, house brenking in tho
day time. The escape was we'll planned and
carried out, MS the other prisoners in Jail claim
to have known nothing Of it. Tho Sheriff has
taken steps to arrest the runaways and hopes to
rccapturo them. lward Il. Stokes found Tint
morning that his horse had been stolen and it is
thought ono of the escaped prisoners stole it.
We learn learn from tho Grocnville Ne,os
that on tho evening of I'd instant q raid was
mado on the JUL in Grccnvile for the pur-
poso Of lynching Riley Anderson, charged
with tho murder of Lou Griffin and her
child. Tho party which approached and
obtained admittance into tho jnil by olaim-
ing they had n prisoner to deliver to tho
Sheriff, numbered between so and 100 mon
men, both colorcd and whto. 1t was after
wards discovered this was but the advanced
guard, as nbout $50 moro wcre halted before
reaching tho .juil to await tho visit to the
Jail. On opening the door the jalcr was
seized and the party rushed in demanding
Riley Anderson The jailor being powcrless
handed over the keys and tho party proceeded
to search every nook and corner Of the Jail for
tho prisoner, without success. The intended
rnid had been heard Of and Anderson had
been secroted in some secure place. The
party after concluding the search returned rs
they came, no words except an occasional
command being uttered. The remainder OF
the band dispersed themselves in squads over
The city. in search of Anderson. Al o'clock
~ NJ. the search was progressing, but no
clue lad been obtaid us to tho whereabouts
of the prisoner. The band seemed we'll pro-
pared and well disciplined and determined to
lynch Anderson if hc could be found.
The Democrats seem to have the inside track
in New York and will doubtless carry the Stntc
by a large minority. The nomination for Go
vernon of Mayor Cleveland OF Buffalo, a pro-
mincnt lawyer and II man who has shown him
self a genuine reformer, gives general satisfnc-
tion and will attract both the entire Democratic
vote Of The State and also that Of all indcpcnd-
cnt Republicans. lie was elected Mayor of
Buffalo, strong Republican city, because Of his
ndvocacy of municipal reforms and when elected
he did not dsappoint the expectations OF the
people Tho Republican press for once speaks
in the highest terms Of Democratic candidate
The evening Post speaks of his nomination as
the slsrcwdest and most important piece OF work
done By the Democratic convention, and while
admitting he is not man of national reputation,
he is just such a man as is apt 10 tell in cam
paign like the present, aud after speaking Of
his election MS Mayor by Republican votes and
the reforms he inauguraed, says, ellis charac-
ter rs n citizen, his record as public officer
and his success as n politician in this nomination
(Which was fairly made) seem to he equally un-
impcachahc. The rest Of the ticket is also re-
spectacle, that Of Gen. Slocum perhaps in some
respects especially strong" On tho other hand
the nomination Of Judge L ''gcr for Governor by
the Republican Sa, pga Convention has elected
bitter comment AMI strong opposition in the
Republican party Of the State. 1t is charged
that the nomination was not fairly made, but
was ted through official and other influences
and docs not express the will of the people.
~ number of Republican clubs have expressed
their determination not to support the ticket.
Efforts arc being made and hopes arc entertained
that Fo'gcr will decline the nomination and that
another nomination. Whoever be nominated it
is believed Cleveland will carry the State.
