by an excellent company, produce over the
Garden Wall' at Powers's Opera House to-
morrow evening. OF its performance in
Bay City the Tribune says:
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. 5. Knight were greeted
with a good house last night, which went
wild with unrestrained merriment TO witness
the comic complication of 'Over the Garden
Wall" 1t is certainly one of the most laugh
able and enjoyable entertainments ever pro-
duced in the city. Every. character was adj
mirably taken. Mr.. and Mrs. Knight need
no words of commentator To the people o.
Bay City, for they have won the position OF
premier favortes in years gone by, and last
night only added to the admiration in which
they are held by our people. Il. +. Graham
is the same Bob who has sung and laughed
himself into the good graces of all amuse-
ment lovers, and in the character of julius
Snitz. jr., fills the bill with q completeness
that leaves nothing desired. The Brbiget

that of itself Is "A whole show, and that laugh
of his, once heard, will never be forgotten.

After Making a Bold Strike for Th4lr
Freedom.

win Madden and Dick Sigh, the son-
victed robbers, aere taken 10 Jackson ysster-
day by Sheriff kinney aud Deputy Sheriff
Pnlver, 10 serve out their ten years sentenee.
About $50 O'Clock q. IA. the prisoners were
taken from the Jail, being hand-caifed
together. and accompanied by Sheriff Kin
ney, Deputies Platte aud Palver, and the jail
h0stler, they were driven 20 the Union de
pot Messrs. Kinney aud Pulyer occupied
the front seat of the sleigh, MADDEN and
Sigh the back seat, and Deputy Platte and
the hostier stood up Ia the sleigh box behind
the prisoners While on the way 10 the depot
Madden succeeded IN extracting a 3S-calibre,
self-acting revolver from Sheriff kinney's
oyereoat pocket, and, without being noticed
secreted il in an inside coat pocket. Upon
reaching the depot Mr. Kinney at once
missed his revolver. The prisoners were ac-
complained 10 a saloon across the way 10 get
"a farewell drink. " while the Sheriff searched
the sleigh for the missing weapon. When
the prisoners returned 10 the depot, Mr..
Kinney concluded they must be in posses
sion of the revolver, and hit upon happy
scheme 10 regain il without great trouble.
He informed Deputy Pulyer of his scheme,
and invited the prisoners 10 take lunch at
I4amos's counter, which invitation was ac-
cepted. While they were eating Kinney
seized Madden and Pulver seized Sligh and
began the search for the weapon. The pris-
oners struggled hard, but it WAS found in
Madden's inner left side coat-pocket. The
prisoners were hurried upon the train, and
while upon the journey were morose and
down-cast. They were probably brooding
over their failure in a desperate effort at es-
cape. Madden informed Sheriff Kinney
that an effort to escape would have been
made, and, if necessary, he would have used
the revolver freely in the attempt, had II not
been taken from him. As his right hand
was free, and the weapon easy Of access, 1t
is probable he meant what he said. Their
being so completely foied is considered
fortunate by all who know the desperate
character of the criminals. When once III
Jackson they went readily into the prison
and seemed pleased with their new home.

the president will mention the trouble
in his message, but he will make q
powerful suggestion about the needs of
a new navy and the alarming condition
of onr coast defenses. In conclusion the
special says: In case matters don't mend
before the adjournment of congress the
president will make 1t the subject of a

Fatal Explosion.

Philadelphia, Nov. 18-An explosion
occurred at the Philadelphia lubricating
works at Fifth street wharf. The extent
of the damage is not known, but it is re-
ported that thirteen men had been Sc
riously barued. Some have been taken
to the Universe hospital. Two men are
missing and one is supposed to have
been burned to death.
Later-The victims are: Alexander
Banks, aged forty, burned to- crisp.
He was the superintendent of the works
and recently from Pittsburg.
Charles Marshall, aged twelve, cannot
be found.
Joseph Robinson, aged thirty-fve, en-.
tire body terribly burned; cannot recoy.

Patrick Boyle, head, trunk and ex-
trenitiss frightfully burned; vii! die.
Arthur Greeber, aged twenty-eight,
entire body terribly burned; will die.
Chas. Mclean, aged t~wenty-four,
burned about the head and extremlties;
probably die.
For some time the works had been
running to their full capacity, and early
this morning fifteen men set to work to
repair the stone foundation under the
large iron still which contained $50 bar
rels of crude oil. Several of the men
were. engaged in plasterlng up the in
terror wall, when the man hole Of the
still was blown of, setting the oil on fire,
fitting over the still and causing the
oil to fall out upon the men below.
This explosion was followed by a second
report soon after and the dense volume
OF smoke caused the utmost consterna-
ton among the men. The fire depart
ment reached the scene somewhat
tardily and the work of rescuing the
men was delayed. An elderly man
name not known, was found lying
against the fence which surrounded the
works, about aeyenty-five yards from the
exploded tank, unconscious and terribly
burned.
