Pour Youthful Criminals try TO Break

-Four young criminals, confined In cell Z,
second tier, OF the county jail, made a bold
attempt to escape the letters that bind them
10 o secluded life, The exclusive society they
enj)yed did not please then,, and the cod.
tracted limits OF the cell did not afford them,
that opportunity for enjoyment they so mucll
desired.
The ceiling OF the cell they occupied was a
fat wooden one that was made 10 cover an
arch In the roof. This was Fl led In with
bulkheads. and a person entering the cell
could not discover the fact unless he msde
q close and critical scrutiny OF the place.
The boys somehow found out the true state
OF a(T,irs. aud by climbing up the cell next

arch and the wooden ceiling. Several bulk.
reads were knocked out, and by. the aid OF
pieces Of iron broken from the old stats that
used to bar the window, managed TO cpta hole
through the arch. The mechanical science
go far displayed wa excellent and their
plot would have succeeded had It not been

Youngsters was discovered on Saturday

adorable Destruction.

siderable Destruction.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning the
slumbers OF the residents Of East Wheeling
were disturbed and the inhabitants OF Man
chester rudely awakened by the sound Of a
terrific report. 1t was like that Of a great e1.
plosion, making windows rattle and seriously
alarming u number OF citizens who thought
OF burglars and the like. and made search for
the cause but failed TO find It Those living
In Manchester, however, were attracted 10
Reymann's brewery, from where the noise
seemed TO come from, and there found that
a lue had collapsed and the wafer In the
boiler forced Out with such force Is to cause
considerable damage.
The boiler house OF The brewery Is q small
affair OF %corrogated iron, standing on the
bank Of the creek Just south OF the Seven
eenth street bridge. II contains two batter
les OF boilers, which were put In by Sweeney
& Son about seven months ago. At that
time the improvements we're completed, that
had been in progress for a year previous,
which included the building OF he large and
handsome addition and the boiler house.
Jacob Snyder, the fireman In charge OF the
boilers nj night says that he had gone To pro.
cure some oil for his lamp when the collapse
took place. It was we'll for him that he was
40 engaged, for had he been In the house he
would have been blown To atoms. He also
stated that the fires were low and banked.
Mr.. A. J. Sweeney Is OF the opinion that
there was too much water In the boilers,
hence the accident
1t was the north lle OF the south boiler OF
the north battery that collapsed. At the east
end, farthest from the tires, the bricks were
blown In a dozen different directions, the
corrogated iron was torn aud twisted like
pasteboard, the ground between the boiler
house and the west front OF the large and
handsome new building p~loughed up by the
tying iron, and the entire west front OF the
fourth story building spattered with mud 90
that the bricks could not be seen. Nearly all
the windows IN hat front were broken and a
large heavy oaken door blown In. The flying
mud and water was also thrown across The
street, and The Office steps covered. At the
west cod the force was felt fully as much,
one.half OF the end OF the boiler house being
blown into tho creek.
Fortunately no one was hurt, and the
damage will be repaired In about u week.
What 1t will amount to, no one was able to
estimAta,
