JAIL BIRDS FLOWN.
Escape of Two Prisoners from the Jail
Early Yesterday Morning.

Escape of Two Prisoners from the Jail
Early Yesterday Morning.
Quite u sensation was created in town
last Friday by the announcement that
Wilbur Perrigo, who stabbed Officer La
Rose last fall and X. Il. Barube, convicted
of stealing watch in the north part of
the city, had made their escape from Jail.
The first intimation that the Sheriff had
that all was not right was when the ser
want girl went into the Jail proper to take
the prisoners their breakfast. The main
room was partially darkened by a blanket
hung over the east window, and the table
stood on end ut one side of the room +: but
the girl did not suppose any OF the prison
ers were missing, as part of them were in
their cells, until one of them innocently
remarked, at looks as ii some one had
got out of here" The Sheriff was at once
notified and an investigation showed that
perrigo and Barube were missing and
further that they had effected their es-
cape by cutting hole through the ceiling
into the upper part of the Jail, which is
not used at present and consequent
lv was not locked. They passed
into the hall and opening the blind of the
window overlooking the piazza on the
front side of the Jail made their escape to
the ground. There were four other pris-
oners in the Jail who declined to accom-
pany the fugitiVes. From them it was
learned that Perrigo and Barube went out
sometime between two and three o'clock
in the morning.
They began work upon the ceiling Tues
day night. PerrigO informed the others
of what he intended to do and asked them
to attempt to escape with him. They all
declined save Barube, WhereupOn PerrlgO
swore that if they informed ON him he
would murder them. \ chisel and
bit stock and bit had been handed in
at the window that night and having is
covered that the floor over head, which
had been supposed to be lined with stone
was nothing but wood, the way was
comparatively clear. They bored through
the ceiling next to one side of
the room and found their way
blocked by pine timbers six inches
thick. They cut out section of one of
these, measuring ten by sixteen inches, by
/ boring across the two ends and one side
of the piece. During the daytime the
boards taken from the ceiling were re
/ placed and white paper pasted over the
cracks. Over this there was nothing but
the flooring of which they made short
work. BY piling up the furniture of the
| room on the table, it was an easy matter
to climb through, but here the first diff
Guilty was encountered. PcrrgO weighs
in the nelghborhOod Of 3?5 pounds and the
hole by some oversight had not been made
in corresponding proportions. There was
nothing for him to do but diVest himself
of his clothing, which was done. Even
then it was Il tight squeeze for him to
force himself through, and as serious a.
/ the situation was, his frantic struggles
brought down the house. perrigO through
Barube, who is smaller of stature, follow
/ ed i'll short order, and escaped as above re

THE PAGE CASE
As Viewed by an Outsider.
From the Snringiicll RcpnhliCnn

The case of the Rutland Railroad
against eXGov. John b. Page, which has
occupied the County Court at Rutland,
Vt, for.two months past, ended in Il yer
dict for Page of 81 and cost This is Il
substantial victory for Page, and the end
of long and bitter fight. About two
years ago Il party organized by Clement 4
Sons, Rutland bankers, bought up the
control of the Rutland railroad and ousted
Nj Page from the presidency. An inves-
LEGATION of the books revealed Il defalca-
ton of $4,000 and IL considerable over
issue of stock. These matters were
brought up in the annual election and the
fight made was very bitter. 1t resulted
in Pages defeat and his financial down
fall. The Howe scale works and the Rut-
land National bank, OF both of which
Page was the head, We're involved. The
scaleworks were placed in the hands of
trustees and run Tor the benefit of the
creditors, and the bank is i'll liquidation.
Page claimed that j. NJ. Haven, who
had long been associated with HIM as
treasurer of the road, had taken the miss
ing S4U,UOO ana had ONer-lSSued the stock,
! he matter was brought before the grand
jury and Haven was indicted for oVcr-is-
suing stock, the case now standing Tor
trial at the next term Of court The

Slctl I-d4t lbI SOlllt llttll IL lllllllpll 'IOl-
lars, charging him with Incorporating
the road money and with mlsmuuaglng
the funds during his long period of power.
Page put in Dlll to offset for money Of
his own which he claimed to have used
in the road business. This is the
suit which has just been decided. The
trial has been il remarkable one. 1t is the
first case tried under the new Vermont
law which provides for II picked jury
The jury was composed of prominent
farmers and business men Of the towns
about Rutland, and the evidence dealt
with such complicated matters Of account
ing that it would have been impossible to
get an intelligent comprehension of it
from the average haphaZard panel. More
testimony was taken than at any previous
jury trial in New England. y type
writer copy of the testimony covered S95
pages of legal cap and included over 49,
900 words. Gov. Pages own testimony
comprised over 261 900. a striking evidence
of Gov. Pages popularity in the town for
which he has done so much was given when
at the close of Gen. Burnett's argument
in Pages behalf the entire audience rose
and cheered for several minutes. The
jury was out for some days and the YER
dict is reported as the result of Il com
promise But it is doubtful if Page would
ever have made any claim against the
road had he remained in control, and the
throwing out of his claim can hardly
astOnish his friends or prevent them from
claiming the result rs their victory. 1t
settles the fact that Page has not stolen
the roads money and That the road has
no claim against him, but it does not re-
store INN to the leading position in the
business OF the town and State which he
held SO short Il time ago.
