GUITEAU DENOCNCES SCovIILE.
Yesterday the assassin Guteau was In good

afternoon Mr.. Scoylle visited him and he then be-
came excited and abusive He said that Scoyille
had by his "j9ckaSsical management, bursted up
his case: that he had no business In it, and he did
not want him as his attorney; that Reed and Mer-
rick were his attorneys and should have the fu-
ture management OF his case; that, while Scovlle
intended all fer the best, when he went away he
should have remained away, and that he supposed
he had come back for the purpose of seeing him
hung. Guiteau was more quiet to-day.

This valuable work, of which SO much is being
said in commentator, both by the press and
people throughout the State, wherever it has
been introduced, should be seenin order to
be appreciated. The limited space of an orr
binary newspaper article would barely besut>
fcient to record an index of its merits, much
less to give comprehensive description. Il
contains many valuable features which are
entirely new and novel, as wei! as interesting.
and altogether, it certainly forms one of the
best works that was ever introduced to the peo>
pie of the s'Old Dominion" or West Virginia.

SMALL INFLUENCES OF LIFE.

Many of the influences of life tend to de-
press and dishearten us, but Thousand words
of cheer may softly be spoken for one word OF
caution or discouragement We all know that
the better life is one of perpetual growth, and
the best growth, whether it he in the plant or
planter progresses slowly but surely. If we
seem to turn over the same old leaf, from year
to year, perhaps by imperceptible degrees, we
are growing wiser and better by that slight
effort alone.
So few of us can ever hope to do great deeds,
but all can do little things arell if we choose.
The most perfect life l ever knew was that
of woman who did not despise the doing of
small things, self-supporting in early life she
knew, as every woman should know, the diff
Guilty of earning money, and the great value
of independence. Whateverher hands found to
do, she did with thoroughneSs that insured
success ;she practised always the strictest econ
omy in the least as we'll as the greater things,
and saved hundreds that she might beStow
thousands Her fine intellect never betrayed
her, and she was as serene in addressing
large audience as she was in her own parlOr !;
the champion of the oppressed and needy !;
the helper of all good works the mother of a
large family the centre and fountain-head of
an immense circle of friends her very pres
ence was benedictiOn, when she passed to
rest she left behind the memory of life COM
plete in all respects and she never wasted a
moment, and she gave to her work whatever
it might be, the very best and highest service
she was capable Of
Let us then resolve to slook out and not in, -
out on all humanity and it's needs, not in our
own selfish hearts and pleasures let us look
up to all that is high and noble, and not down
on what is useless and Improbable let us
look forwurd and not blackboard no effort can
mend the past, but many possibilities lie in
the future and above all, let US lend help
ing hand.
The Chinese have proverb, ''Make happy
those who are near, and those who are far will
come"
1t behooves US then to be as cheerful and
happy and as busy as possible, and since life is
all too short at the very. best, to accomplish
much, we cannot afford to waste single hour,
much less the little moments.
RUSSIAN CoNvICTs. There are from ten to
twelve thousand exiles sent to Siberia annual
ly, and of this number about one-haf OF one
per cent. are political offenders. The rest are
ordinary felons. Only eight per cent of the
exiles are sentenced to hard labor. On an av-
erace 400 women and children accompany each
thousand exiles, and 1000 of the convicts es.
cape yearly to European Russia. The eXlles
are not nowadays driven in miserable gangs
to a waste region, but carried comfortably to
a comparatively fertile country. The highest
sentence is twenty years at hard labor, which
is the penalty for murder; the lowest is foul

PRIsoNERs an LARGE.
Tho Bold Break at The County Jail ora
QuArtetIe OF Criminals

Atabout . o'clock this morning one Of the
most daring cases of Jail breaking occurred at
the county Jail on EofF street, this city, by
which four prisoners secured their freedom,
which 1t is thought will be but temporary,
as officers were securing the city by three
o'clock. The circumstances Of the affair are
as follows;
Abont 100 Watchman Fitzsimmons made
his round OF the building and grounds, and
Us far az he could see everything was perfect.
~ secure and quiet, After he had finished
hisr0und he sat down In the office to eat his
lunch. iiCsays he had u feeling OF uneasi.
ness and got up once OF twice to look out into
the corridor. ~
As soon Us he had finished eating lie made
another round He arrived at the southwest
corner OF the building and noticed large
piece Of timber standing up in the corner Of
the high wall surrounding the building
which lie WINS sure had not been there
at the time he made his last round. AL.
most at the same time he noticed the door Of
a small shed bailt against the rear Of the Jail
and south OF tile engine rooms standing open.
This sled was used for the storage OF
straw. FitzsimmOns flashed his light In,
but could sec nothing. lie then
FASTENED to Tailor Daley and told him some
one must be In TIE yard. Daley the first
thing opened the lower corridor and going
along discovered the cells OF John COnnors,
Frank Stanley, Dan Brown and Charles
Rodgers were empty, although the doors We're
locked. All Of these men were securely
looked up ut six o'clock in the evening
In Browns cell tho heads of the bolts that
bound to the floor an iron plate we're found
cut of, leaving exposed hole large enough
to allow man to pass through. Down this
they had gone short distance until a
twelve-inCh crock sewer was reached, which
they broke open; then crawling on short
distance, broke 1t again, and Crawled up
through the straw, thus gaining the yard.
In getting over the fence they dropped two
shoes and hat, Tho suppositinn Is they made
keys to 1T the Yale locks out OF scraps Of tin
and tin platterH.
Sheriff Brown was on hand by $50 o'clock,
and the city police force were soon after
aroused and all roads leading out OF the city
guarded.
The men who escaped are John Corners,
sentenced at the last term OF court to five
years imprisonment for burglarizing Simp-
sons house; an exception was taken to sen.
tence; Frank Stanley, under indictment for
ieloniouS shooting Brown and Rogers, lar.
ceny.
officer Junkins says that only few years
ago ConnOrs, with companion, escaped in
exactly the same manner.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1882-02-14

House hill No. 4O5 yesterday passed its
second reading This IS very important
bill, and the members of the House, it is
hoped, will see the necessity OF passing 1t as
soon as possible, that It may become law.
Tho bill is familiarly known as the Health
Bill, and gives the local or county boards
powers that they do not possess ut present in
cases otQuarantinc. These powers and quail
iirations are very essential to the well and
efficient working OF these boards.
This city is still securely Quarantined
against Pittsburgh. Yesterday Dr.. Reeves,
Secretary OF the State Board, received letter
from P0rkersburg, stating that although
there were six or seven cases of smallpox In
the city, there was only one that was purely
malignant As smallpox has been declared
epidemic at Cincinnati, DR. Reeves says that
steps will be taken looking to the establish.
ing of quarantine in the southern part OF our
city.
There is not case of smallpox in Wheel.
ing, and the SolOns may feel perfectly secure.
Tile Health Board deserves praise for the
steps 1t has taken TO secure this state OF
affairs,
