Scraps Of the Early Histyry
of MAlcm County.


The original log jail stood till about
1909, when 1t was replaced by u stone
building, aud this, in 1775, by another,
also Of stone, on the corner Of Fenwick
and Market streets. This was dam
aged in 1895, but not utterly destroyed
by Ere, which was SGT by q person nam
cd Mcintyre. 1t was u plain but sub
stantial building, e~ncroaching slightly,
as did its predecessor, on the street.
1t was two stories high, and contained
not only cells for the prisoners, but the
J%ailor's residence. a high stone wall
surrounded q spacious jail-yard. To
this building an addition was made in
182I-42.
In 1851 action was taken for the erec-
tion Of a new Jail, and a committee,
consisting of Joseph Riley, Samuel z
Carpenter, and william A. Nelson, was
appointed TO report estimates as to the
probable cost Of the building, aud pro-
posals for the erection OF it. They re-
ported to the board Of freelolders In
1852, but no action was taken in the
matter.
At the annual meeting In 1852, Rich
ard Ballinger, Richard Wistar, William
Carpenter, Maskill Ware were appoint
ed u committee to procure plans and
estimates of the cost of a new Jail and
work-house. In August of that year
this committee reported by presenting
DRIFTS and estimates, which we're oider-
ed to be placed in the hands Of the
Clerk of the county, and again the pro-
iect slept.
At a special meeting In Jan. 1855,
called for the purpose OF considering
the matter, it WAS resolved, BY u vote
OF seventeen to three, that the old JAN
should be torn down and a new one
erected, and a COMMITTEES, consisting
OF Henry Sinnickson, Casper W. Acton,
John 8. Newell, William House and
Johu Ii. Lippincott, was appointed to
procure plans and specifications, select
4 site on some part of the county
grounds, advertise for and receive pro-
posals for the work. The committee
presented to the board, at 4 meeting in
February 1867, plans which were ap,
proved. 1t was directed that the build
ing should front on Market street, rast
Of the Clerks and Surrogate's office.
At the annual meeting III May, 1867,
this committee reported that they had
contracted with Ebenezer Smith, for
the building Of u Jail and Sheria's
house. The Jail was completed early IN
1867, and the materials of the old jar
were sold. The ground where the old
Jail stood at the corner Of Fenwick and
Market streets WAS cleared and inclosed
in 1869, and will probably, in the near
future, be the site Of the new court
house.
The jail Is = stone building, witQ
thirty-two back cells opening into spa
cious corridors, each cell having a ca
pacity for one prisoner. The sherif's
house stands in front of the jail on
Market street. 1t Is brick struct ure,
tastefuIIy finished, two stories in height,
and hasa Ahe necessary Sh.riff's and
iailors offices rs we'll as the office of
the mayor Of Salem. The cost Of these
buildings was forty thousand dollars.

An anomaly in the shape Of an intel

attention in New York. Shs halls
from Piainfield, n. j., and claims for
the past three years to have been con-
trolIed by some marvellous influence
that enables her to speak and write the
most difficult foreign languages, both
living and dead, without previous study.
The worst of it is she Is not able to
choose the language she wishes, but Is
controlled by a ''spell." She can, how
ever, command the spell" She has
written in Hebrew, and, although she
has never read Shakespeare, once recited
accurately nearly the whole Of Julius
Cesar" Her accent is said to be per-
feet. She exerts a wonder full influence
over dumb animals, and is af raid OF

proelaims her only a woman after all,

Horrible murd.rs and suicide.

CoNcoRDIA, o., April 2S.-One of the most
horrible crimes ever known in this section
was committed near this place sunday night.
A man named Adolph Hess, with his wife
and child, Lived in a mean little house three
miles from the village. Some time during
the night Hess, who was addicted to drink,
took an OK and with one blow severed the
head of his child from its body. The head
was found on the floor. Hess then beat his
wife on the head until life was extinct. The
room bore evidence o. q dreadful struggle.
