John and Cicero Poe, Robert McKin-

charged with murder, f. A. Sheppard
and l.. Ii. Wilson, confidence men who
are confined in cell No. 4 of the county
Jail, attempted to effect an escape from
that institution by saving through the
floor of the cell. The cell has rock

back part, which is sheet iron, and this
is the part where the exit was attempt
ed. Last Friday the night Waterman
heard saving, but could not detect from
whence it came. He reported to Jailel
Maddux, and since that time they have
been on the lookout. but failed to catcl
the prisoners working at any time
This morning the inmates of this Gel
were removed to cell No 8. Sheriff
johnson then had the floor of cell No. :
taken up, and found three saws, on,
made of the shank of boot and tn,
other two of case knives, concealed be

If there were fewer "pleasc darlings'

A Sure Way.

Horace Greeley wasn't very cranky
when he wrote this:
If you want to keep town from
thriving, don't erect more building,
than you can conveniently occup,
yourself. If you should accident,
have an empty building, and any one
should want to rent it, ask three times
the value Of it Demand Il Shylock
price for every foot of ground that God
has given you stewardship over Turn
a cold shoulder to every mechanic and
business man who seeks to make Il home
with you. Look at every now conner
with ~ scowl. Run down the work
of home workmen Go abroad for
wares rather than secl; to do business in
your midst. Fail to advertise, or in
any way support your newspaper, so
that people abroad may not know
whether business is going on in your
town or not, Wrap yourself within
yourself with coat of impervious sell.
fshness There is no more etiectual
way to retard the growth ola town than
actions like those enumerated.

ya.uo Of a Railroad Train,

Few have any conception Of the mo-
ney value Of an express train. The
handsome locomotive and elegant cars
are admired rs the train comes putting
into the depot, but when seen from the
point Of view furnished by the Hartford
Courant, the spectator is astonished at
the responsibility placed in the hands Of
the engineer, fireman, conductor and
brakcmen.
A railroad official, the other day,
gave some interesting figures as the val
ne Of the midday express from New
York, which was fair representative
of the fast express trains on the Consol
idated road.
There was an engine, tender, ant
eight cars. The engine and tender
which are always considered together
were valued at s10,500, the baggage
car 81 600, the postal car $4,000, TIN
smoking car $4,000, the two ordinar,
passenger cars $4,000 each, and tn
three palace cars Sl5, 900 each Total
$4,000.
II his is low, rather than an exccssiv
estimate for one Of the fast expresses, n
some Of them, with more cars, are wort
1000 at least
The palace cars, put down at S15
!, 600, are, in many cases, worth an avel
age Of $4,000. These cars came int
use soon after the sleeping coaches, til
5 first being used in 1868. In some il
7 stances these cars have cost as high q
t s25, 600 and $50, 900, where the interiC
i workmanship was very elaborate.
From the figures given, it will |
c seen that comfortable dwelling may |
c built for the cost Of an ordinary passel
y ger car, and that the money expcnde
r for palace coach would erect yer
e handsome brick or brown stone frol
s residence.
c 1t is an interesting reflection that ii
y safety Of one of these costly trains,
n say nothing Of the passengers, devolv'
e almost wholly upon one mantle el
e gineer.
!, There are other train men, the col
c ductor, baggage. master, fireman an
c three or four brakcmcn, but the han
n upon the lever and the brain drectiI
