Although tho prison officers aud some of
tho city police aud aldermen have been
securing tho country in search Of the
dozen conyicts who escaped from tho
| county Jail "Wednesday evening, nothing
has been heard of them, or at least none
oi them have been appieheudcd. On the
night OF the escape officers followed sup.
posed trails to Bird in Hard, Paradise,

Ephrata mountains. UndeIkeeper Staufler
aud Officer Smith paid q visit tp the Iesi
dcnUo ot tho mutheroi the BuAzards (uVw
Mrs Clark, but could learn nothing Of
them. Alderman Barr and Officer Burns
went IT, Ephati yesterday ming, They
heard ul tho CJuviUts 1T MochauicSburg
where they broke into "a yard aud stole
SIX shirts from clothes Hue. Tho story
published by contemporary that they broke
IN a store near this point is incorrect. There
appears TO ho no doubt that nine of the
convicLs were soon at Earivillc, aud passed
themselves oil ~ baseball club. After
leaving Earlyllo they appear TO have
separated. Ono of them stopped at Il
house near the BrUwn5tOwu UlmpmeCting
ground aud asked for something TO eat.
While tho lady Of the house was getting
him some food he said ho had been walk
ing all night, and was very tired aud
fOuttOrc. When his food was set
belurO him ho picked II up aud
ran out ni tho house aud into tho woods,
saying that hD wanted 10 divide his food
with ono Ur two ui his companions. From
tho description given of the man the oil
Ccu have no doubt that it was Morris
BrlGkcr. Tho oIliCerB further think that
the outlaws dId not have more than ono
OF two huurB start of them when they
were AT BrUwnstOwn, aud that muat Of
them are now 5cCTGted in tho almost mac
cesibIc hiding places in that rough Scc.
tiUn Of the country.
