attempted Prison Escape.

bold but unsuccessful attempt to es-
cape from the state prison was made yes
terday forenoon by convict named Frank
Munger, who, having in some way sue
ceeded in getting hold of coat and pair
of overalls, and with an old black hat
drawn we'll down over his eyes he walked
leisurely toward the main gate in COMPANY
with some laborers who were following a
wagon loaded with a car wheel tank, which
being of great weight a number of men
were required to unload it. The loaded
vehicle had already passed the gate,
as had two of the workmen.
Three more men were following, one of
whom was Munger, walking little to the
rear of his companions. A few more steps
and he would have been outside the prison
walls. At this point, the suspicious of the
gate keepers were aroused, and halt Or
dered. To the questions OF who he was,
and where he was going the escaping
prisoner replied that he was one of the
men employed to load and unload the
tanks. Finding himself detected the first
move of the prisoner was to get away from
his captors, probably with the intention of
removing his overalls and coat and regain
his proper quarters before MS absence was
discovered.
Munger was sent up from Minneapolis
last March. He is under sentence of two
years for the crime of larceny. When it
is considered that between 800 and 400
men pass daily through the main gate it is
plainly evident that the Illustration of the
attempted escape was due to the unceas-
ing vigilance of the men stationed at this
DOint

Traffic association, including the managers

for the purpose of completing joint sum

ply between st. Louis and st. Paul. The
object is to prevent injurious competition.
To-day was the third attempt to adjust

are never initiated or couaterfeited. This is
especially true of family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. As soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop B1tters
was the purest, bsst and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung up
and began to steal the notices in which the press
and people of the country had expressed the
merits of H. B., and in every way trying to
induce suffering invalids to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money on the credit
and good name of H. B. Many others started
nostrums put up in similar style to II. B., with
variously devised names in which the word
Hop" or Hops were used in way to in
duce people to believe they were the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or
cures, no matter what their style or name is,
and especially those with the word 'Hop'' or
''Hops'' in their name OF in any way connected
with them, or their name, are limitations or
counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none
of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bit
GERS, with bunch or cluster of green hops on
the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists
and dealers are warned against dealing in mi
tations or counterfeits.

ferred to the board of public works, with

In the last three months of the year
1881, out of the forty regiments which
compose the Pacific division of the army,
there was a desertion of $50 men. 1t is
stated that no army in any civilized coun-
try suffers so much from desertion as
ours, which is especially troublesome on
the frontier. The reason for it is thought
to be, that, under the law, the price of the
outfit of clothing is withheld from their
wages, so that for a long time after en-
listment the men get no pay.

The McCarthy-Distler Trouble.

The hearing of the charge made against
Alderman Jerry Mccarthy of disorderly
conduct, made by officer Distler, was con-
tinued by Judge Hall of the municipal
court until this morning. Later alderman
Mccarthy made complaint to Mayor
Rice charging that the officer had no cause
for making his arrest, but that it was
merely a piece of spite work, whereupon
the Mayor suspended the officer, awaiting
full investigation of the facts. In
explanation of his charge against
officer Distler Mr.. Mccarthy
said to a GLOBE reporter yesterday
afternoon, that at the time he was arrested
he was entertaining few friends in a
quiet and orderly manner, without in any
way interfering with or disturbing other
parties, and that the appearance of the
officer, and his arrest. which he says was
done in a most brutal manner and with the
idea of disgracing him, was in revenge for
voting against member of Distler's fam
lily for the Office of jailer, all of which he
says will be conclus1vely shown up in the
trial in the municipal court and in the
investigation to be made by Mayor Rice.

A short time since Ole Moon, the driver a. the

participating in a rump s, and yesterday he was
again brought into court. This time the charge
is one of a very serious nature, and unless Ole
can vindicate his honor to the satisfaction of
Judge Bailey, ''it will go hard with him.

pearing maiden of Swedish extraction, and by
name, Julia Olson. Julia made affidavit that
she had given birth, over year since, to little
Moon, who was ''heir apparent to Ole Moon,
and as Ole is man of doIlars,'' she wanted
him to ''ante up.''

of $500 for his appearance at the PEE

HESS OPERA COMPANY.

Splendid Presentation of "M& rItana" Last
Evening-"Iolanthe" Tonight.
The G. D. Hess Acme Opera company
opened their brief st. Paul engagement
at the Opera house last evening, with the
presentation of the favorite opera of 'Mar-
itana." St. Paul audiences have enjoyed
the pleasure of listening to the attractive
and catching music of this opera on many
occasions in the past, rendered, too, by
frst-class artists, but taken in its
entirety the representation last evening
was superior to that of any
former rendition. Miss Abbie Darlington
had the part of Mariana, and her singing
and acting of the part, commencing with
her first appearance as the Gypsy girl to
the dropping of the curtain upon the final
denouement, was excellent, and at times
superb. The finale of the third act, COM
mercing with the scene where Don Cesar,
in writing the letter agreeing to give up
his wife (Maritana) and leave Madrid, is
interrupted with the solos THAT Voice."
''What Mystery" ETC., with the chorus &C
compartment, was by far the grandest yet
witnessed in this city, and deserved
the tumultuous applause which was kept
up until the curtain was rang up. The
lady scored another triumph in the last
act, throughout which her acting was ex-
cerdingly spirited. and her singing most
acceptable, especially her rendition of the
Polka iSCantata, "Flor de Margherita,"
which was heartily encored. Mr.. George
Appleby was an excellent Don Caesar, and
Mr.. Mark Smith filled the part of Don Jose
with credit, while Miss Emma Elsner made
charming Lazzarillo, winning recall for
her Invocation in behalf of Don Caesar in
the prison scene IN the second act. The
chorus is we'll balanced, with good and
fresh voices, and with the orchestra under
the direction of the baton Of Prof w. E.
Taylor, added much to the enjoyment of
the evening.
