Thumb Portraits.

ltrom the World of Wonders
Ii the "balP' or cushion-like surface of
the top-joint of the thumb be examined, it
in the fingers also-is kind of spiral formed
of fine grooves in the skin. The spiral is,
however, rarely, if ever. quite perfect-there
are Irregularities, or places where lines run
into each other here and there. Examining
both thumbs it will be seen that they do not
exactly match; but the figure on each thumb
is the same through life. If the thumbs of
any two persons are compared, it will fur
ther be found that no two are alike. There
may be, and generally is, ''family resem-
blance" between members of the same fami-
ly, as in other features; there are also ma
tional characteristics; but the individuals
differ. All this is better seen by taking
"proof Impressions" of the thumb. This is
easily done by pressing it on a slab covered
with film of printers ink, and then press
ing it on piece of white paper; or a little
aquiline dye, Indian ink-almost anything
may be used.
The Chinese take advantage of all this to
identify their important criminals, at least
in some parts of the Empire. We photo
graph their faces; they take impressions
from their thumbs. They are stored away !;
and if the delinquent should ever again fall
into the hands of the police. another impress
sion at once affords the means of compari-
son. The Chinese say that, considering the
alteration made in the countenance by hair
and beard, aud. the power many men have
of dstorting or altering the actual features,
etc., their method affords even more certain
and easy means of Identification than our
plan of taking the criminals portrait Per-
haps we might with advantage take leaf
out of their book.

A Female Incendiary Breaks Out
of Newport jail
Liberates Fellow Prisoner and Flies
with Him.

NEWPORT, E. l., March 9.-Two prisoners
escaped from the county Jail in this city last
night. Katie Judd alias Belle Lawrence, etc.
who was wanted in Amesbury, Mass, a few
months ago for setting fire to and robbing the
house of Mr.. John G. Ristein of that place,
and who, before she could be taken on the
Amesbury charge, confessed to having set fire
to and robbing the villa of John G. Weaver in
this city, was one of the prisoners. She was
in Jail awaiting trial for arson and larceny by
the Supreme Court, which sits here the 10Th
of this month. The other was George Rounds,
awaiting trial on charge of larceny from the
residence of Mr.. Ell. Allan Wright of this city.
The cell adjoining that occupied by the Judd
woman was unoccuDied and not locked. By
means of two iron legs wrenched from her bed
stead Katie managed to make hole 10 IL by
ii inches through the foot-thick brick wall
which divided her cell from the vacant one,
through which it is supposed she crawled. To
nave done this she must have removed every
stitch OF her clothing. She could not then
have got farther than the corridor, had the
door leading into the keepers apartment been
ooited; 1t IS thought that the keeper neglect
ed to lock this door when closing up for the
night. and that she passed out into the keepers
apartment and procured the keys to Rounds
cell and let him out. The clocks in the dining
room and kitchen were found stopped, de-
noting the time at 11.39. The back door to
the house was found unlock and it is supposed
that the two prisoners passed out this way
Keeper Jones thinks that their elopement was
helped by outside parties, but there are no
signs of ones breaking into the house.
PROVIDENCE, March 9.-The mayor of New
port offered reward of $500 for the arrest of
Judd aud Rounds. City Marshal Congdon has
suggested to the sheriff that inquiry be made
as to the whereabouts and doings of the domes-
tic in the jailors family on Thursday night
This girl is said to be acting strangely. Her
conduct will probably be investigated The
escaped pair had never seen each other before
the escape and had arranged all plans for leav-
ing the Jail without speaking.

EVANSVILLE BONDS.
The Movement to Reduce the Interest
and What Prominent Citizen Says
About It.

The Movement to Reduce the Interest
ana Wnat prominent Citizen Says
About It.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 9.-Senator FRYE
OF Maine recently wrote to Hon. John w. Fos-
ter, citizen OF Evansville, asking him about
the rumor OF an intended. reduction of interest
on portion of the bonded debt of Evansville
He said Evansville has always maintained
nlgD character in the east, her securities been
largely taken by savings institutions and col
ieges generally for investment of trust funds,
and are Eeid in New England by entirely in
noeent holders He asked if there was any
danger that the people OF Evansville when
tney understood the question in its length and
breadth and considered the effect the rumored
action would have upon the future credit of the
city would allow SO serious blow to fall upon
their good character and their prosperity
Mr.. Foster replied, thanking Senator FRYE
Tor the opportunity for making formal dec
laration OF his conviction that there is no such
disposition on the part of large majority of
the citizens. Evansville has been very ambi-
tlous to keep pace with rival cities in the Mis-
sisslppl valley, and has voted large sums to
facilitate railroad building. This action has
resulted in heavy bonded indebtedness in
order to meet the interest Of which consider
able economy will be required in municipal
expenditures. 1t is probable that for several
years SUFFICIENT prudence has not been exhib-
ited IN administration, and as the time for pay
ment OF interest approaches the city treasury
is found to be depleted through bad manage
ment.
Thi1 state uf affairs tIus teu uiv nrsyv.,.-
circular proposing reduction of the rate of
interest to per cent. Mr.. Foster says he is
satisfied that it was issued without due consid-
Grafton, and that the city authorities have not
intended to offer it as an alternative of repudi-
alton, and that although the debt is heavy
one the city is abundantly able to meet it and
to redeem the principal as it comes due. Re-
sponsible citizens will not allow temporary
improvidence in administration to cause de-
fault in interest payments.
Mr. Foster says the subject is likely to enter
into the city election next month, and he be-
lieves the new council elected will promptly
correct any neglect or failure of the present
council to meet the financial obligations.
Mr. Foster has also written q long letter to
Mayor Bridewell giving his views in full on
the subject with suggestions as to what ought
to be done.

William A. Pearce.

Although Mr- PAarea has been a terrible suf-
ferer from rheumatism for many years, the an
nouncement of his death will be surprise to
very large circle of friends in this city and
State His genial disposition, his frank and
hearty manner will keep his memory fresh
and green for many years. Mr. Pearse was
born in London, England, in April 1929, and
was within few days of being "a years of age
at the time of his DEATH His parents moved
to this country in his early boyhood, and
settled in Boston. He learned the trade of a
plumber and was engaged in successful busi-
ness in Boston when in 1854 he was induced by
some of our prominent citizens to transfer his
business to this CITY, He was for many years
the only plumber in Portland engaged in busi-
ness, and his services were in great demand
from all parts of the State. He was member
of the old Rifle Corps and was the life of many
of their festive gatherings The older por-
tion of the community will never forget the
manner in which he paid the bet which he
lost on the election of Mr.. Lincoln as Presi-
dent. He agreed if Mr.. Douglass was de-
feated, to sell load of charcoal at retail in
Market Square. He carried out his agree
ment to the letter. Mr.. Pearce was for many
years an active Mason, member of Portland
Commandery, Mt. Vernon Chapter, and one
of the lodges. MEMBER.

The name Of the steamer lost was the Nav.

though six OF the crew and ten passengers were
saved. A Dutch fishing smack which picked
up hve OF the Navarrre's passengers has arriv-
ed at Hull.
IS Survivors give the following account Of the
dred miles from Christians and the Navarro
was struck by heavy sea, the cargo shifted
and Wednesday the forehold filed, When a
fishing smack approached the Navarro ten men
TOOK to the boat and boarded the smack, let
ting their small boats go adrift The smack
sailed round the sinking steamer but having no
Doat was unable to render her assistance.
emlgrantS In the meantime cingiug TO the
rigging, the sea washing over them In q
snort time another smack arrived on the scene,
riIteen OF the Navarre's men endeayored to
rsacn ner In another boat, but it swamped and
all It's occupants were drowned. A steamer
arrived at the spot only in time to rescue six
persons who were struggling in the water as
the Navarro was founding.
Miss Alexander Hatz and Swede who was
pound 1or minnesota and who lost his wife
ana four children have arrived at Hull
survivor states that there were only five
colk Jackets on board the Navarro. Manual
says large floats which sailors took away with
OUT attempting to rescue any one would have
held thirty persons more than were in her.
Manuel who for nearly an hour was clnging
10 piece OF timber states that the Navarres 3
pumps were found to be useless. All on board
Daled the vessel as much as they could. The
captain seemed stupefied. He was hurt on
Tuesday and from that time until the vessel
sunk drank to keep up his spirits.
There were twenty-five persons on board the
Navarro when she sank who made no effort to
save themselves. Manuel charges the captain
with cowardice and says many more nigh t

The FLOODS.

The Mississippi Still Rising and Over
flowing the Country.
ST. LOUIS, March 9.-The Globe Democrat
correspondent who reached Helena yesterday
from Memphis by steamer, gives the following
view of the situation:
Along the river bank not more than two or
three spots of ground are visible between
Memphis and this point Scores of the best
farms in Arkansas and MISSISSIPPI are com.
pletely ruined and are mostly abandoned. In
many places cattle are standing in water over
flowing the platform, and almost every gin
house is filled with colored people. Not a foot
of dry land is to be seen in 40 miles,
The prospect is favorable for big rise below
as the flow of water from the st. Francis river
is undiminished. Captain Norwegian of the
Chateau thinks there lis unprecedented high
water between Vicksburg and New Orleans on
account of the closing of Bonnecarre crevasse.
Owing to a bridge being carried away Helena
is cut off from railroad communication
HELENA, Ark, March 10.-The country be-
low here is entirely submerged, the water in
many places pouring over the levees back into
the river. Reports from Austin, Clarksdale,
and Friars Point are of a most dscouraging
character. Not single house in any of the
places named escate led the deluge. To-day is
clear and calm.
