Flarg Shea, escaped from Jail at this
place. These men were arrested on
complaint of Ivan Sibley and w.
Sibley on q charge of stealing an over
cat and a pair of wooden mittens from
the complainants at the Thayer House.
They removed a stone from the wall,
and with rope made of bed clothes
torn in strips, they scaled the Jail yard
wall and made good their escape. The
Jail Is now empty. No reward will be
offered for the return of the late occu-
pants, and no blame is attached to
either the Sheriff or his Deputy in this
matter The fact is our old Jail is
rather ieaky for any prisoner who de
Hires his freedom.

4 Note from superintendent Dixon.

| MIR. EDIToR-Deur Sir. - With
your permission I will use little
| space IN your columns and say THANK
YOU with much emphasis to the people
Of ELK county for so heartily support.
| ing the last annual Teachers Institute.
The teachers did admirable. They
We're very prompt and gave the closest
| attention. Both day and evening ses-
! Sions were largely attended by many
! citizens. People from Wilcox and St.
Marys were on hand in quite large
numbers. The convention i'm every
feature was "a success far beyond my
expectation The work done at day
sessions was of the most substantial
character and that the evening pro-
grams were decidedly good is beyond
question. Iii my mind, it is an estab-
lished fact, that the people of Elk
county can be depended upon to sus-
tain heartily that which is meritorious
especially in connection with the edu.
cation of the young.
The Institute financially this wear
was also a success. AS far as now
known 1t was self-sustaining.
Although the law allows me to draw
from the county treasury one dollar
for every three days attendance of
teachers l will not need neither will
draw one cent from the treasury this
year. The success of the Institute
financially is therefore saving to the
county in the sum of about one hun
dred and forty dollars. venture the
assertion that there is not another
county in the State but will be drawn
upon this year for the support of its
teachers institute in sparsely settled
Elk should be self-sustaining is in
deed matter for congratulation. Are
we not on a solid basis? The money
from the sale of tickets is not all col
lected as l have two places yet to hear
from but have received and deposited

Pjnkpye Spreading,

Says the Wellsboro Agitdtor; Most
Of the horses in Mr.. r. M. Ketcham' s
livery stable in this village are now
troubled with the new disease called
pinkcye. The epidemic is much more
fatal than epizooty although some of
its symptoms are very similar. The
animal is usually very much pros
trated. The throat and eyes are
swollen and there is a pink discharge
from the eyes. There is little or no
discharge from the nostrils. The dis
ease is of a typhoid type, and horses
should have the best OF care while
suffering from it. The taking of a
cold or little over-work is likely to
cause n relapse which is commonly
followed by death. The disease usu-
ally lasts about two weeks. The
remedies employed are those recon-
mended for epizooty.

Reduce Letter Postage to Two Cents. =
LSt. Louis Globe-Democrat,

Two congressman have dared to in
troduce Il bill for the reduction of letter
postage to two cent stamps. 1t ought
TO pass. The post Office is not de-
signed to be money making institu-
ton, and, now that it has been placed
on a aself-sustaining basis, this reform
is in order. The reduction will not
cut off one-third of the receipts from
letters, or anything like it.

Down An Embankment,

Chicago, January IA dispatch
from Lansing, Ia, giving the follow
ing additional particulars concerning
last nights accident near New
Albion: When crossing the bridge
No. 80, and running not to exceed Is
miles an hour, although an hour be-
hind time, the breaking of wheel on
the smoking-car threw that and the
next car from the track and down a
25-feet embankment. The sleeper be-
came detached and kept the track, but
six inches more would have precipita-
ted it off the bridge, a distance of at
least twenty-five feet. The forward
coach turned complete revolution,
righting itself at the bottom, minus
the trucks, and the other lay on its
side. A majority of the passengers
were in these cars, and they all suffered
more or less injury. The first work of
those who escaped was to aid the oc-
cupants of the two cars, which were
already ablaze from the stoves. The
rescue was accomplished after heroic
work. Some of the unfortunates were
taken TO New Albion in the mail car,
and Others were placed in the sleeper,
and made as comfortable as possible
until help arrived. The total number
of wounded is twenty-three. One
death, that of an infant, has already
occurred, and two and perhaps three
others persons are expected to die.

Castles in the Air.

In company with a friend we visited
the home Of Robert Cravens, on Look
out Mountain, yesterday. 1t is GER
tainly one of the most desirable resi-.
dences in this section Of country.
Elevated a distance of perhaps over
1900 feet above the river, it affords an
excellent view of the city and many
miles of surrounding country. Stu.
ated on the last mountain terrace next
to Point Lookout, his neat aud com
Portable dwelling overlooks his fine
orchard and vineyard of about twenty
five acres, and is surrounded by every
luxury and convenience of life.
1t was about tWenty-seven years ago
that he conceived the then romantic
idea Of permanently locating upon that
towering mount, and when he settled
there his wife was in such feeble
health that she had to be
carried most of the way from
the city. Such, however, are the
healthiul influences of their splendid
home among the clouds" that, al.
though nearly seventy years of age,
Mrs. Cravens seems almost in the full
vigorn of girlhood, and attends to all
of her domestic affairs in person, while
Mr.. Cravens in his seventy ninth year
looks far less broken than most men
do at sixty.
In conversation with him on the
subject he expressed the belief that he
would live to be a century old. We
told him yes, we thought he would if
his health continued good, to which,
with reprimanding look, he replied:
What fool do you suppose didn't
know that2"
Mr.. Craveus is one ofthe best citi-
zens Of Hamilton county, and by a
long life of honest, earnest toll and
frugality, has accumulated a large for.
tune. He owns several hundred
acres of the Lookout Mountain sur
face, near the top, and was very desir.
Gus to have the Southern Chautauqua
located up there, making the liberal
offer to that institution Of fifty acres
and $4,000 cash.
