Editorial AcrObat1cS.

The responsible editor of the Times
seems to be abroad :; or, if he is at home,
he is engaged in performing feats OF
intellectual agility of very exhausting
character, His journal is editorially
essaying to show that the murderer
should be hung and that he should not
be hung on Saturday the negative OF the
question was demonstrated and TO DAY
the affirmative is proven. If the Tunes
has determined to follow the example Oh
the North American RerieT, Whlch
presents all sides of every question and
denies to its editor responsibility for any
of its utterances, it may be welcome
news to its readers, who may perhaps pro
fitably be left to form their own concur
sions without editorial dictatioD, upon the
current questions of the hour. But as
our contemporary has not yet formai'y
announced that its editor is not RESPONSE
BILE for what it says, we are left to pom
der whether he really is in doubt as TO
what should be done with an admitted
murderer, or how else it comes that his
journal says on Saturday what it denies
on Monday. If the Times was as rich in
RESPONSIBLE editors as the INTELLIGEN
cERwe might conclude that each was hav
ing his innings on the murder question ;
but since the handsome and accomplished
Mcclure still sits in regal majesty: sole
sovereign of the Times opinions, we
really do not know what to think
about their contradiction. We took
occasion to suggest that wild young
man had crept into the Times columns
on Saturday, unbeknown' to the edl
tor, with his opinion that there was nc
other possible solution of the ques
tionn as to what should he done with
Mutt for killing Dukes, but to acqui'
him. Notwithstanding he admitted thai
IT, was deliberate murder. And we still
think that this was the way SO remarki
ble declaration found its way into tin
editorial utterances of cur usually sensi
ble contemporary which takes occasion
to day to fire an indignant broadside a
the iuries who are acquitting murderer
right and left over the country. Ih
condemnation which the Times has d
abundance for the Kentucky jury tina
acquitted Phil. Thompson for deliberate
" Staying the man he accused of dc
bauching his wife, it, Of course, ought t
have greater measure of tor the ma
who, in its own columns two days ag'
declared that Mutt should be acquitte
though conceding that he had done d.
liberate murder. We do not know VIII
will have the next innings on the que
tion, but if the Saturday editor does IL
come to the scrat ch TO morrow, we nj
safely conclude that he has been knockt
out of time, and that the lanes n;
settled down to the position that I'll
man who is guilty Of murder bey0l
dOuht should be convicted of it.

FRANKFORT AT LARGE.

Takeo Two Horse Thieves with him
-0OnOral Jall Delivery.

~ O0so An1VO8o O0 HUI S1o<A SVsA o1ss
Takss Two Horso Thieves with Him
General Jail Delivery.
Early this morning special telegram
to the INTELLIGENcER from West Chester
reported the escape from the Jail there of
John Frankford, the notorious horse thief.
The posting of it ON the bulletin board aud
further details when received attracted q
very large crowd and there seemed to be a
general feeling that the incident was cal
culated to take some of the conceit out of
the West Chester authorities who had so
steadily derided the Lancaster jailers for
not being able to hold him and had SO
confidently boasted of their own ability.
A later dispatch from the Republican
gave the following account of the Jail
breaking: "John Frankford left this
morning about 4 O'Clock, accompanied by
J. Lewis Robinson and Dunn, both con-
victed horse thieves. Frankford cut
through the iron. clad cell into RObinson's,
then into Dunn's above them, then into
tho loft, and after getting on the roof they
went down into the yard by rops and
over the wall. The implements used were
q case knife, serrated spike and pocket
knife"
Another dispatch from the Local Ne,os
treats the matter thus "The double
breasted, triple iron clad, burglar proof
and air tight cell, occupied until some
time last night by the one. eyed horse
thief, is to let this morning on terms sat
isfactOry to most criminals. 1t is war
ranted to be we'll ventilated and easy Of
epress, otherwise it would not DO offered
for rent. For terms apply to the Chester
county prison authorities. Ii you SEQ
anything of Mr. Frankford running around
loose up your way capture him in the
name of Chester county and the prison
laws of this commonwealth Sometime
last night he cut his way out through the
roof of our prison. Two other noted pris
Oners escaped with him, besides about a
score of Pennsylvania railroad Car riders,
and excitement is rampant here this
morning. If you say anything about it in
your valuable paper please be easy, as
any undue reference to tho matter falls
heavily upon the sensitive ears of this peo-
ple."
The Escaped Prisoners
The escape of the prisoners was discov-
cred at breakfast time this morning.

city. He enlisted in the 9th p. v. was

The grounds of the club ara in excellent
condition. The field is covered with sod,
but it has been removed entirely on tho in
field. The fence might be a little higher
behind the catcher. In a short time seats
will be erected on the west and south sides
of the ground.
As for the club it was evident by their
playing in the early part of the game ON
Saturday that they were new and need
practice together. This they have been
unable to get. But Captain Myers will at
once put them to work. That is all they
need, as the team has as good material as
any amateur nine in the state.
The managers are trying to arrange
game for next Saturday with the Harvey
Fishers, of Danville. They can feel proud
of their opening game and the success at
| tending it.

Dratn OF . HOsensan.

Last night Emanuel Swope. aged 2G, a
hoseman of engine company No. 2, Of the
city fire department, died at the home OF
his father, No. 25 Conestoga street. The
deceased contracted severe cold at the
burning of John P. Schaum's stable, on
the night before Decoration Day. 1t
turned to typhoid fever, which caused his
death. There is a curious coincidence III
connection with Mr.. Swops's death: Last
night the large iron grey horse Harry"
one of the pair, which drew engine No. 2
died, of a stoppage Of the bowels. This
animal was a great favorire with young
Swope, aud he was accustomed to tide him
for exercise.

years, and have put full ticket into the

vote of considerable size, and as nearly
