decided as to the amount of the levy for the
fiscal year. / was told that it would be
three or four mills, but the exact amount
has not been ascertained yet by the court,
Twas informed on yesterday that justice
from some of the rural districts paid to the
sheriff two dollars during the present ses.
sion of the court, the amount being for
fine collected in his official capacity, and
the sherif said it IVES the first he had re-
ceiyed since he became sheriff, AID
as the fines imposed by justices
are to be paid to the sheriff for the benefit
of rec schools, it so worked upon his mind
as to slightly daze him for time, and that
he went into the jail and exchanged places
with aeouple Of the prisoners and remained
there for some time safe under lock and no
key, and the prisoners went out for an air
ing, being desirous of obtaining some ber-
ries before they would all be gone. At any
rate il is true that Condrey and Kline, the

exchange places with the sheriff and
/, cLed him in the Jail and went
iorth to enjoy their liberty. The sheriff
claims that he did give tongue handsomely
when he found what was his real situation,
but as no one heard hin, and as it is thought
that the payment Of the Gue by the said
Just ce may have had its effect upon the
sheriff that point is not clear. Charles, the
son of the sheriff, who was sitting at q win
dow in the jail, says that he did not hear his
fal hers noise bat that he saw Condrey and
Kline passing the window at which he was
sitting, and gave chase Immediately; that
the prisoners separated and ran IN different
directions, and as he could not run IN
two directions at the same time
he followed Kline, ran bim down and cap
tured him, but that Condrey made his es-
cape. Charles says that on his retnrn to
the Jail with Kline he found the Sherih safe,
and that there was no danger Of his escape.
There was no sending to Waynesburg fer
some one to get the Sheris out of Jail, but
the home talent was used for that purpose,
and the Sheriff was soon cut out and ina
mediately weut in pursuit o. Condrey, but
as vet has not succeeded in capturing him.
The escape tooS place between six and
seven o'clock in the morning. The Sheriff,
on his return from the pursuit Of Condrey,
presensed the appearance Of ore who had
seen service, while his ccsntenance

Sheriff, and that he wilA come out all right
