appeared in these columns. They are
desperate characters and certainly have
been hard TO hold. OF tho gang. Frank
ford, Groh Brickor and tho Buz2ards were
in the party that escaped on May 9th.
1882. The following Is a short history of
the men:
John FmnkfoId, the notorious one owed
horse thiot was serving u term of nineteen
years for horse stealing. lIo was sentenced
IN September 1877. On tho gath of Nav
ISS2, no mado his escape and in tho
early part of this summer ho vas
captured IN Chester county, where ho
had been stealing horses. lie was
tried aud convicted on II charges, but
sentence was not pronounced as tho court
decided that no must be returned
to this county to servo his unex-
PRED term. llU was brought back
to his old quarters about two months ago.
Frankford Is native of this city, where
his relatives al reside mt present. He il
about 12 years Of age and bears the reputa.
tion of being one of the most skillfuI iail-
breakers in this country. IIo has broken
from number of prisons ia this and other
states, including the Western penitentiary
in Allegheny. Several times ho cut through |
iron clad cells in this prison and
ono timo as he was just about
sealing the wall to get away he was
shot III tho face by Capt. Weise who was |
then prlsonkeeper. He lost the sight of ono |
ego and that defect has caused him a |
great deal of trouble, as ho is almost suro |
to be recognized by somo one in time. He |
is well aware of this fact and will no doubt |
keep shady. He is known now as " tho |
one eyed horse thiefn
Abe and Iko BuZzlrd, who planned and
carried ont this escape, arc brOthors, and
for years were leaders of the gang which
bore their name and made their head
quarters in tho Welsh mountains They
are moro intelligent than most mon of their
class and are experts in tho art of iail
breaking. They were convicted in April.
1881, on several charges of burglary and
store breaking.
Abe was sentenced to l3 years imprison
ment and Ike to 10. At tho break in Nav
1885, they got away. After being ont
about two months Ike was arrested In
Columbia as q railroad train rider and
committed to tho prison where no was

PalplbIe Negligence.

The Lancaster county prison is a very
interesting institution for the citizens to
contemplate. 1t is built very elabOrately
with iron cased cells but provided with
sharp criminals, and stupid jailers; con-
sequently the prisoners keep the prison,
and walk out pretty much rs
they please. They now have ad.
vanced on this idea and lock their
jailors up in the cells they yacate.
There never was an easier exit made
from prison than this last one. Two
men on guard; one opens q cell and leaves
1t open while he carries a bird cage
across the corridor to another cell.
Prisoner in the first cell, of course, walks
out, thrusts the jailor into the cell Just
opened, locks him in, locks in the other
guard who was being shaved gratis 10y a
prisoner in the third cell and then in.
augurates general Jail delivery.
Nothing stands in their way TO the street.
Of course this escape is due primarily
to the stupidity of the guard who left a
cell open behind him, But it might as
readily nave happened without his fault.
Ii Buzzard had assaulted him when he
opened his cell, he might have overcome
him, and then would have been free to
dispose OF the other guard. Very
clearly the management of the prison is
wrong. 1t should be impossible for the
prisoners to achieve their freedom by
successful assault upon their keepers.
lney should have no such opportunity.
~ is evident that prisoners cell should

The Republicans tried very strenuously
in Ohio to introduce the tariff issue into
the campaign out there. They sought in
the last days of 1t, to create popular eN'
citement upon the subject, and no ear
lier than last Saturday attempted to
organize tariff demonstration in Cleve'
land for the benefit of the Republican
state ticket. 1t was flat failure, but
the break down on election day was still
worse. So far as the result hasany gen.
eral significance it must be measured by
the concurrence of the Democracy in
other states with the position taken by
the Democrats in Ohio, where they have
just won the election. The Ohio plat
form was almost identical with that Of
Pennsylvania in the declaration for
" such taxation Of people rs is requisite
for the necessities of the government
economically administered, and that i'm.
port duties should be so adjusted in
their application rs to prevent unequal
burdens, encourage productive indus.
tries at home and afford just com )cnSa
tiOn to labor, but not to create or foster
monOpOlies." Virginia and New Jersey
adopted the same plank, and since the
elections have already resulted favorably
to the Democracy in one OF these states
and are about to in the others. it may
be safely assumed that the tariff plank in
the Democratic platform of 1851 will be
that of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jcr-
sey and Virginia this wear.
