VIRTUE IN THE MILLs.-In n trial in
Paterson two fellows were accused of in
dacently ASSEMBLING two mill girls. The
counsel for the defence tried to show that
1t was mere fun, and made some reflection
on the general miliarity of Mill girls, =
and their loose characters. The prosecu-
tor defended them, and said there was al
much virtue among mill girls as among
the higher classes and INDUCED In
glowing defence generally Of the honor of
mill girls. Judge Woodruff in summing
up the case said the statement of the
counsel in relation TO the habits and
morals of mill girls was wholly unwar-
ranted. He said that females who made
their living in other ways than working
for it by manual labor were generally
those whose character might be aspersed,
but that the very fact that the females
worked for their living was enough to
show that they would not stoop to crime
to support themselves. The Judge had
high opinion OF girls who earned their
living by work and severely reprimanded
the counsel for bis brutal language. The
affair caused quite a sensation in court.

A PERsEvERINo PRISONER.
Wonderful Escape of "A ConvtcI from Il,
California Penitentiary.

An interesting story comes from Stockton
of the way in which the notorious safe rob.
Der. Johnny Sansome, recently escaped from
the Folsom State Prison The story of his
well-laid plan is as follows About nine
months ago he conceived the scheme of eseap-
ing. He worked the cement out from be-
tween two granite blocks in the floor of his
easi.j aaulhfdeRin.'"w Yitf G Ghisel.s S%;hicii
he struggled into his cell, and piece of
hard wood, he succeeded in breaking in two
one of the granite blocks. He struck the
blows only when the door was slammed.
Then he painted piece of wood in imta-
tion of the granite and inserted it in the
eoor. so that he could remove it at pleasure
When he made an examination of the hollow
space below he found that, by cutting
through stone and cement three and one
half feet thick he could reach an abandoned
sewer. In order to avoid detection by the
guards he hung some of his clothes upon the
wall and the rest he made into dummy
which he tucked nicely under the blankets.
Naked, he worked night after night until he
had entered the opening of stone sewer
The holes he cut were SO small that he had
to grease them to allow his body to slip
through
After passing through the sewer ffty-two
feet he met with an obstruction in the shape
OF stone and cement ten feet in thickness,
which had been filed in when the sewer was
abandoned. This he removed slowly, piece
by piece, carrying it back like a squirrel into
the hollow space underneath his cell. He
met with another obstruction when this was
removed, granite block two and half
feet thick. When he had made his way
through this he ran tunnel into the ground
eight feet long just wide enough to admit
his body, and then started an incline up
ward, which, after running four feet,
brought him into an unused closet in
small room with an asphaltum floor, and
with window barred with chilled iron bars.
Sansome had provided himself with steel
saws, made ont of case-knives, to cut out
the bars. The only opportunities afforded
him to complete his work, were given when
the guards were changing shifts, or when
they We're in a remote portion of the institu-
ton. 1t was during change of the shifts
that he escaped and gained his liberty.
When once outside he procured clothing
frm some tramps and then made his way
Though to NIarysville. Often while working
in the sewer the air was SO foul that he had
to withdraw to save himself from suffoca-
ting. In the nine months required to COM
plete the job, Sansome lost twenty
pounds in flesh. Sansome was captured by
an accident in Marysvile, n Sheriff who
knew him covering the convict with re
volyer before he had warning.

Death of Captain j. HI. Reaney.

Capt. John Hay Reaney, one of st. Pauls
best known and most esteemed citizens.
died last Wednesday afternoon of organic
heart disease. His passing away was sud-
den, but not altogether unexpected, as his
physicians had1ittle or no hope that he would
ever be able to leave his bed again. Capt
Reaney was born May IL, 1885, at
Pittsburg, Pa. He came to Minnesota in
1852 or 1858, and was therefore one of the
pioneers in the development of the North
west. He began steamboating soon after
wards and commanded various boats. At
the time of his death he was the agent of the
st. Louis and St. Paul Packet company, and
was not only the St. Paul agent, but was the
confidential friend of Commodore Davidson
and his adviser in all his river enterprises.
The relat ons of the two men were more like
those of brothers than employer and em-
ploye. Capt. Reaney was widely known
among river men, from st. Paul to New
Orleans, and all the western waters. He was
member of the Ancient Landmark Lodge,
and of the Damascus Commandery.

standing has hitherto been considered high,
prominent operator on the board of trade
and the official "caller" of the call board
the murderer was a prostitute, beautiful
Italian woman. with whom the dead man
had sustained intimate relations for some
time pest. Sunday night Stiles took the
woman to q suburban resort few miles out
ofthe city, where they had some trouble;
Stiles returning alone, and the woman fol-
lowing on foot in the rain. Not finding
him at their rooms, she at an early hour
Monday morning went to the Palmer house,
where Stiles had room, for the purpose, as
she says of making up their quarrel. High
words passed between them, Stiles striking
and throttling the woman. Finally the Lat
drew revolver and fired, killing Stiles al
most instantly. The woman says she had
no intention Of killing him, but had dreaolved
to leave him and asked for q parking kiss
''for the sake of the old love-" in place OF
which he struck and tried to choke her,
