was presented by j. Murphy, the
chairman of that committee, and on
motion accepted and committee dis
charged:
To the County Board of Pierce County
The committee appointed by the chair
man of the last county board to examine
and report to this board upon the best and
most economical manner of making the
county Jail secure, &c &c after due CON
sideration would respectfully submit three
different modes of arriving at that result
"a Iron sheeting with which to line the
inside Of Jail room ~ Replacing that
part OF the brick walls of the court house
which incloses the jail with cut stone walls
of sufficient strength. (3) Building jail
room at the rear al the court house, one sto
ry in height and the same width as the
court house building and extending back as
far as may be deeMemed necessary, with
heavy rock walls , TO he divided INTO two
apartments, one to hold the cage and the
other for corridor. This, in our opinion,
would cost from $500 to $1,000 Your
committee prefer the latter of the three
plans JOHN MURPHY,

ELLSWORTH, Nov. II, 1885.
TO the Honorable County Board of Pierce Co.:
Your Agents of the Poor would respect
fully report their doings as such agents,
during the year ending this month:
We find that the average attendance at
the Poor house during the year has been
l33 inmates, -paupers. AT last settlement
with keeper Of the Poor-house there were
nine paupers in attendance, males and
5 females. Two deaths have occurred
during the year; the cause of one of them
being mainly old age, that of the other
suffering from diabetes.
Last winter new contract was entered
into for the keeping of the Poor-house,
and when that contract is terminated the
County Boari will have to fix salary for
the keeper of that institution, as the law
now prohibits the contract system. 1t
will, therefore, be wise for this Board to
consider whether they would order more
of the lands improved that belong to the
farm so as to make the farm bear the
most of the expenses that might be in
Cured hereafter, if possible,

Cutting ARRAY.

DECATUR, ILL.,, Nov. 2s.-There was a
bloody cutting affray at Warrensburg, in
this county, to-day, in which FIVE young men
were engaged. The parties were Frank
and Walter Major, and William, Eugene,
and Thomas Hoagland. The difficulty
grew out of a quarrel at a dance at the
residence of Elsa Burgoman a week ago
about a young lady. The parties met at
Warrensburg to-day, and the Hoaglands
renewed the quarrel. The Major boys
were in their wagon, the Hoagland broth
ers got in and begun fighting the Majors,
the team ran off and all were thrown out,
when a general fight begun. 1t termin-
ated in both the Majors being seriously
cut in the side and neck with a long
bladed penknife, said to have been used
by Eugene Hoagland. Bleeding and faint
ing from loss of blood, the Majors were
borne to a doctor Office where the wounds
we're dressed. 1t is reported that Frank
Major will not recover, Each of the
Hoaglands was fined for fighting, and
Eugene arrested and taken to Decatur or
a state warrant charging him with assault
to murder. The injured young men art
sons OF Il. w. Major. a wealthy farmer,
The affray caused the widest excitement,
which still continues in the Warrensburg
community.

MERRrrT's CORNER, N. Y, Nov. 2s.-
A terrible accident occurred here early
this morning. While a number of work
men were descending the shaft of the new
aqueduct, the guard slide caught when
but a short distance from the top, throw
ing out one Of the occupants of the car
named John Edwards. In his fall Ed
wards struck against a bucket which was
coming up the shaft containing several
workmcn. The conclusion threw James
Burke, Michael Doyle and an Italian,
name unknown, from the car, and they,
with Edwards, fell to the bottom Of the
shaft, a distance of 100 feet. Edwards,
Burke and Doyle were instantly killed
and the Italian sustained injuries that will

Escaped from Joliet.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Nov. ga daring escape
was made from the Joliet penitentiary
about 5 O'Clock this afternoon, by Daniel
McAllister, alias Peoria Dan, who was
sent up from Peoria in 1876 on a life SEN
tence for murder. The trial was one of
the most sensational occurring in that
part Of the state for years, and attracted
unusual attention throughout the country
on account of the brilliant arrayof counsel
engaged on both sides. 1t is thought by
the prison officials that McAllister effected
his escape by scaling the walls in the
vicinity of the engine rooms where he had
been employed as engineer, and, being
considered a trusty convict, he was not
very closely watched. McAllister is a
fourth termer, having done time for lar
eeny, burglary, robbery and lastly for
murder. The entire prison force, as well
as the entire police department are now
securing the country in hopeso of obtaining
some clew to the escaped convict.

Defeat of the k

PuTsBURG, Nov. 3s.-The situation OF
the coal miners troubles in the Monon-
gahela valley. is as follows: Last night
the sheriifs OF Washington and Fayette
counties massed their forces at the fourth
pool, had guards placed in and around
each mine and notified the strikers hat
any attempt at violence this morning
would be promptly and vigorously met.
The strikers, on reviewing the case, be-
came alarmed, and during the early hours
of the morning came from their hiding
places, scaled the hills, and made for their
homes on foot. The recruiting parties
were notified to proceed no further. The
workmen in the fourth pool were intimi-
dated and none of them made an attempt
to go to work to-day; they all, however,
have promised to return to work Monday,
under protection of the officers. At Pin
Run, in pool number two, about 100
strikers gathered about the mines there,
and to induce the men to quit work a
brass band accompanied them. Insulting
remarks were made to non -unionists, but
no violence was attempted.
