Missouri state Prisoners Try to Burn
Their Way Ont.

Their way Out.
sr. LOUIS, February 23-The Poa.Dis.
patch special from Jefferson City gives the
following account Of an emeute in the
peniteptiary. The convicts in the peniten-
tiary had Just returned to their shops from
dinner today when preconcerted mutiny
broke out in the harness shop Of Jacob
Strauss & Co. Four men seized Mr.. Van
horn, the foreman Of the collar shops, and
told him to remain quiet. Four men also
seized Mr. Snider, the foreman of the harness
shop, and stripped him OF his clothing. ]. B.
Johnson, the ringleader, a robber, under
sentence Of twelve years, ran into the de.
partment where the horse collars are stuffed
and set lot OF loose straw on FIRE. In a
moment the building with its three shops,
harness, collar and whip departments, was
on fire. Pandemonuim prevailed. When
the guards ran in with a bose they were
met by convicts who cut the hose, and
johnson made an effort TO escape over the
walls, but despite the fact he had knife
and club he was captured by Jesse
Tolin and put in q dungeon. His
seven companions were also confined in the
dark cells. The FIRE was got under control,
but has completely destroyed Strauss &
Co.'s harness shop, the collar shop and
whip factory; loss, 100000. Gieseck's
Boot and Shoe Company loses 100000; My
senbury Shoe Company loses $4,000; the
State Weaving and State Machine Shop
loses $4,000, the Excelsior Loom Factory
loses SIC, 900. Total, with damage to minor
State buildings, 100000.
The latest alvices from Jefferson City
say that the excitement attending the FIRE
has partially subsidized and affairs at the
prison are getting into shape again. The
blow dealt the State ia severe on the peni.
tentiary, which has not recovered from the
disastrous copaagration OF nearly two years
ago, and the prison will be OF little use to
the State for another six months The
buildings destroyed were owned by the
State. The stock and machinery belonged
to the contractors.
now IT WAS DONE.
The mutiny is described as follows:
John B. johnson, safe blower by record,
was sent up for twelve years from Shelby
county last November, on conviction for
highway robbery. He declared his inten.
tion to break tho prison, and from the first
time he came down he was regarded as a
dangerous man. The desperate act Of to-day
was his :hird attempt to escape. The men
had Just marched back from dinner to the
shops, and were seeking their various
benches, when, in recognition Of some pre-
concerted signal eight men en-
p1oyad IN tho barnaaa ahnn NJ
Jacob Strauss & Co., seized formidable
leather cutting knives and the revolt
began. Four Of them seized the foreman
OF the harness shop and stripped him
Of his clothing; the other four ran
to the floor below and seized Mr.. Van
horn, foreman Of the collar department,
and with knives at his throat ordered him
not to resist He did not. Then johnson
ran back into the collar stufiing depart.
ment and fired lot OF loose straw.

Missouri PenItsptlarJ, Resulting In Three

GRAYsoN, KY, February 23.-Court met
as usual at $50 o'clock. The jury in the
Craft case promptly retired and in few
minutes after returned into Court at 9:l0.
The foreman answered the usual questions
and replied that the verdict was guilty, and
the punishment was death. The prisoner
scanned the faces Of the jurymen as they
came in and was in manner prepared for
the declaration Of the foreman. Craft was
less affected apparently than others in the
Court room, the only change being dull
pallor Of the face. Mrs. Gibbons face was
a study for painter. With q few words to
the jury, the Judge discharged 1t. Counsel
for the defense asked and obtained leave
from the Judge for consultation, in which
they were Joined by Craft, whoprotested to
his lawyers that the time would yet come
to set him right. The defense then asked
adjournment till O'Clock 10 give time to
prepare affidayits for new trial. Alter q
briti consultation with Colonel Allen, the
Judge cleared the aisle and the prisoner
marched OFF With military guard. and the
Judge announced recess till o'clock.
After the re assembling OF court, Craft
was sentenced to be hanged May 25.
The tragedy in which the above criminal
took an active part has been before the pub.

to conceal their crime, but the flames were
extingushed and the remaius Of the three

were soon afterwards arrested on suspicion,
and as the evidence to convict was gather.
ed Ellis confessed, duplicating Neal and
Craft. Ellis was soon after lynched by an
infuriated mob. Graft and Neal have mar
rowly escaped similar popular vengeance,

Matters In Garfield District.

A correspondent of tie True
Fissure residing in Garfield district,
writes the following: A miners meet.
ing was held here, in harrington Il
Moss store, on the evening of June
9th, for the election of District Min
ing Recorder, and the present Deputy
Recorder, Mr.. O. Warmer, was elected
unanimously. The leading mines of
this district are looking well, chief
as,0ng which is the Atherton. This
mine is cpeaed by two tunnels, one of
800 and one of 400 feet in length, in
both OF which there is a large body of
high grade ore exposed 10 view, and
ready for extraction whenever the
owners see fit to get il out for milling
II is good piece of property, and is
owned by harrington s Moss. The
Great Western mine is another good
property, being The best poor mans
mine that any person in this district
ever heard of. II has paid steadily
from the grass roots down. The ore
VIII average $3.50 to the ton, and it is
owned by the lucky Harrington
Brothers. 1t is all picking ground in
this mine, and not an ounce of powder
has ever been used in taking out the
ore. The Lancashire mine Is another
ore producer, and is in the vicinity of
the Atherton and Great Western mines.
1t has also been Il poor mans mine.
The rich ore was found as float" and
the finding of it sent the owner up
the ladder of wealth few rounds.
The Henly mine is the next in i'm.
portance, and it is owned by parties in
Dayton, who are working three men
at the mine. Their prospects are con.
sidered good for developing good
body OF ore. The Blue Light copper
mine is in the southeastern part of the
district. 1t has produced several
thousand tons of splendid copper ore,
but for several months past there has
been no work done on it. The Johl g.
Mcdonald mines are lying idle. This
group of mines have had a eheckered
career, and from appearances there is
no likelihood of any work being done
there for some time. To miners who
are seeking employment, | would say
keep away from this place; there are
only tweniy.four men working for
wages here, and there is no possible
show from the present outlook for
times TO improve.

Michigan Greenback Convention.

DETROIT, March 8.-The Greenback
state convention met at Lansing this noon
and W. D. Fuller, of Nevaygo, was chosen
temporary chairman. After the appoint
ment of the usual committees it adjourned
until afternoon. No doubt the PROPOSE
ton of the Democrats yesterday for fusion
on an evenly divided ticket for supreme
court judges and regents of the university
will be accepted.
The Greenback state convention this
afternoon, accepted the proposal of the
Democratic state convention to united
joint ticket and nominated Thos. G. Sher-
wood, of Kalamazoo, judge of the supreme
court, to fill a vacancy, and Thos. j. Viii
lett of st. Louis, Gratiot county, for sec
ond regent of the state university. Rsso-
lutions were adopted reafirming the
Chicago Greenback platform of 1880, ex-
pressing the opinion that the party who
spent two months in electing a senator at
an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to the people, and
at the dictation of a notorious corruption
list, who has passed his days of
usefulness, should be set aside
as an engine of mischief; denouucing
as a browning infamy the last congress in
the passage of an act designed to relieve
the monopolies of banking capital from
taxation, to stop the payment of the
bonded debt, and perpetuate The burdens
of labor; declaring the best reform of civil
service to be the election by direct vote
of the people of all officers possible, es-
pecially of president, vice president, sena-
tors and postmasters; declaring full sym
pathy with all movements against monop-
olies, and recommending a full representa-
ton from Michigan at the anti-monopoly
convention at Chicago, July 4. Governor
Begole, present as a delegate from his
county, and one woman, were admitted as
duly accredited delegates.

communication to number of citizens, of
which the following is copy, and which
explains itself:
DEAR SIR: The recent legislation requir-
ing all persons laying out new additions
to the city to dedicate one-twentieth to the
public for park would seem to require
the plat commission to establish some rule
in reference to that regulation, and for
that purpose and to enable the commits
sion to act intelligently, they have thought
it proper to request you and some other
citizens to meet with them at the city at
torney's Office on Saturday next at
o'clock p.m.for consultation. Very respect
