JUMPED THE JAIL.
The Gold Brick Swindler, Corey, Es-
conas From Iai1.

A. Corey, the man who has been in Jail
to await the action Of the Grand Jury on
a charge of being a gold brick swindler, has
escaped, and is at this writing still at large.
He managed to get on the top of the cells
with some blankets unnoticed by the jailer
while he was feeding the prisoners, and after
all was still in the night he made a blanket
rope and reached the skylight, crawied
through the bars and lowered himself to
the ground. As soon as his escape was
noticed the alarm was given and search IL
stituted, which has Is yet been fruitless.

THE GROWING CROPS.

The Reports Indicate Improvement
Along the Northern Pacific.
The Northern Pacific railroads cores
pondents for the week ending the 10th
show slight improvement since the early
drouths. Some three or four weeks ago
along the ST. Paul divisions, extending to
Brainerd, the weather has been quite favor
able, enough rain having fallen to counter
act the effects of the hot weather, and the
prospects are that the yield will be much
nearer fair average than was at first an
ticipated. This will apply also to the Little
Falls and Dakota branches. Along the
main line from Brainerd to Fargo the wheat
seems TO be in very good condition, heading
out well. Last weeks weather was quite
favorable. showers having occurred III time
to prevent injury from the heat. On
the Fergus Falls branch the reports are not
quite so favorable as the above, but as
rule they show the condition to be fairly
good, the rains having come just III time.
West of Fargo our reports vary consldera-
bly,. In some localities the condition OF all
wheat is good, whereas, in other Localities
early wheat seems to be doing well and late
wheat looks badly. AS the Missouri river
is reached and west Of it the reports are OF
a dscouraging tenor, the showers have
been light and followed by hot winds. In
some places hail storms have been eXper-
fenced, which have caused considerable
damage. Altogether it is to be feared that
the yield from this particular region Will be
small and unsatisfactory.

hearty. for the members of this conference
were from every state in the Union at their
own charges, for no holiday or on no junket-
ing tour, but to meet and exchange views
and opinions. To note the progress made
and scan the ever-bpoadening field, philan-
throphy must occupy and report the newest
methods that promise better results and to
discuss and devise what more can be done to
reduce crime and beggary and to mitigate
misery and improve the condition of the un-
fortunate.
The state has al interest in the economies
or the questions discussed, and society in
their right solution. The science of pencil
ogy is by this body developed, and the grave
matters connected with crime and vice need
to be publicly ventilated, as they are on the
floor of this conference. Every common
wealth is proud of Its public institutions;
they attest at once its munificence and the
breadth and intelligence of its sympathy.
But with their growing cost, entailing aug
menting taxation, they require to be closely
watched, their methods scrutinized and all
that is possible be discovered how to make
them subserye the ends for which estab-
lished.
The educational influence of the confer
ence is steadily increasing and each yearly
session adds to its public value. Into this
section of the country it comes for the frs t
time, and ii its deliberations are noted and its
reports and doings studied, it can largely fix
the penal and charitable policy of the young
states in the Mississippi valley, and furnish
the light needed for wise legislation in COM
ing years. We have much to learn yet, and
from the platform of this convention will be
heard the veterans in the institutional man
agement and reform now SO important. 1t
is IN this respect sort of university of char
1ty. with the different departments of human
effort represented by able faculties.

OBJECT TO ASSESSMENTS.
Property Owners Protest to the
Board of Public Works.


A rather uninteresting meeting was held
by the board of public works yesterday
afternoon. Objections were received from
Commodore William F. Davidson and A.
r. Capehart against the assessment for
opening an alley through block II, st. Paul
proper: a. j. Isherwood against the assess
ment for grading Virginia avenue, and J.
+. McQuillan, George Cole. Anna Kelly,
Katharine Hughes. Anton Kessler and NJ.
Hushan against the opening of Broadway,
from Grove to Thirteenth streets. The OBJ
jectiOns were laid over.
The bids for the Ninth street, Westmin-
ster street and Wacouta street sewers were
all laid over, the two latter being referred
to the city engineer.
Objections were received from Harriet
A. Prescott and Others against the reassess-
ment for grading Of Dakota avenue to a
partial grade of siXty-six feet wide from
the Wabasha street bridge to COTE street,
and filed. Her attorneys, Warren, Ste
vens q Lawrence, contend that the city
council never had any authority to order
the improvement or the board of public
works to make the assessment. They also
claim that the reassessment is made to rem-
burse the city for losses occasioned by the
trespass upon the Prescott property.

THEY COME AND GO.
Visitors Who fingered Between
Trains in the Capital City.

Senator G.. B. Buchanan, Sank Rapids.
was an arrival at the Merchants yesterday.
He said that there was every reason for
him to believe that he would be his own
successor as the senator from the Thirty
ninth district, as the convention in Crow
Wing county had instructed the delegates
to the legislative convention for him, which
gave him a good working majority with
those from his own and adjoining counties
He was net exercised, he said, over the
matter, as the manifestations in his favor
throughout the district had been such that
it looked as though the people felt most
kindly disposed toward him and would in
siSt on his denomination.
Referring to tie gubenatorial contest he
said that Lieut.. Gov. Gilman would I'M
doubtedly secure the delegations to the Re-
publican convention from Stearns and adj
Joining counties, i'll fact, no opposition
would be experienced, as everybody was of
the opinion that local pride demanded that
Gov. Gilman should receive the solid dele
CATION from his home and adjoining coun-
try. A strong Gilman delegation, he said,
would be sent from the Fifth
Congressional district, which would not
be unanimously for Gilman, as he.
like the rest of mortals, had enemies who
would do their level best to get an adverse
delegation, but the Gilman men would be
large majority, and would come pretty near
controlling the delegation.
Gen. Harrison Allen, Fargo, was Wis
itor. He is still working very hard and in
dustriously to secure the nomination of the
Republican party of Dakota for delegate 10
congress- and entertains the belief that
there is good prospects Of ultimate success.
He formerly otiiciated as United States
marshal of the territory, and stepped down

minstration TO make room for Capt. Mar

DISCUSSING GENERAL PARK.

The Chamber OF Commerce Com
siGers the Committee Report.
The board of directors of the chamber of
commerce at their meeting yesterday morn
ing received and accepted from Col. Bend
an invitation to visit the military camp at
White Bear. The report OF the committee
in regard to charging Central park was
taken up and considerable talk occurred in
regard to it. Nh. Oppenheim was opposed
to the chamber going around trying to raise
money for the purpose Of buying ground
for park. Mr.. Fairchild was in favor Of
buying the proposed ground providing it
could be bought for a reasonable sum. He
was opposed to paying an eXtortionate
price. Capt. Berkey opposed the location
of the park where it now is. That prop
erty, he claimed, would be wanted for
business purposes. Our parks ought to be
located further out where people live and
where the ladies and their nurses can go
with the children. We want parks, he
said, in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards.
We do not want them right in the center
of the business part Of the city. The report
of the committee was finally adopted, and
by a resolution offered by Mr.. Stevens the
special committee on enlarglng Central
park was instructed to receive subscriptions
and confer with the common council, with
reference to securing
THE PROPOSED TERRITORY
for the desired purpose. Gen. Sanborn, o.
o. Cullen and A. S. Tallmadge were APP
pointed to raise the necessary funds with
which to defray the expenses of the enter
tainment of the National Conference of
Corrections and Charities. A resolution,
offered by DR.. Day, that the city council be
requested to pass an ordinance, with the
proper penalties, to effectually prevent the
sale of ice in the city limits taken from the
Mississippi river or any of its lakes, sIoughs
or bayous, was laid over, as was resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Noyes asking the gov
eminent to issue bills of denomination
less than S.. The report of the committee
on nominations, to the effect that the resig
nations of E. f. Drake, J. j. McCardy and

report and was given further time.
