THEY SET FIRE TO THE JAIL.
The Desperate Attempt OF Two Prisoners
TO Regain Liberty.

to Regain Liberty.
BALTIMORE, November 16.-A bold at
tempt was made last night to burn the
jail, at Princess Anne, the county seat of
Somerset county. The fire originated in
the large cell occupied by James Stevens,
q colored man under sentence of death for
assault upou Mrs. Mary Trehearn, an aged
widow. Thomas Cayeny, an Englishman
serving sentence for larceny, was in the
same room. The Jail is of stone and the
larger corner cell in which these two pris-
oners had been recently sealed on the out
side with heavy sheet-iron. Stevens,
driven to desperation and seeing no other
means of escape, determined to make a last
effort to regain his liberty by firing the
prison.
The ceiling Of his room was saturated
with coal oil, bottle of which the prison
er had seereted. 1t was then fred, and
the two men then prepared for either a
horrible death or joyful liberty. The
prisoners in adjoining cells gave the alarm,
and the sheriff and his deputies broke open
the door of Stevens cell. Stevens lay on
the floor feigning sleep, while the English
man stood in the center Of the cell cOntem-
plating the blaze slowly encircling the
ceiling. Just as the officers entered Stew
ems leaped 10 his ,teet and tried to dash
past them, but they were too quick, and
after desperate struggle with the two
prisoners, during which both prisoners
and officers were nearly suffocated by
smoke and blistered by the increasing heat
the prisoners were OyerpOwered. Stevens
had succeeded in lOosening the chain
which fastened him to the wall of the
cell. This was the second attempt by
prisoners to burn the Jail within two years.

STRIKERS WRANGLING
AND AGAIN STRIKING AGAINST THE
PACKERS DEMANDS.
That the Men Deposit Forfeit Binds and be Paid ty
the HOur-Committees Sant Around and
Several Again Srikt-Aany Old
Hands Taken Back

CHICAGO, November l6.-Large crowds
Of men assembled at the Forty-third street
Viaduct and at the railroad tracks on
Root street, in the stock yards this morn
ing, to apply for their old positions.
There was no disorder of any kind.
About twice as many men as were en-
gagged yesterday were selected from the
crowd this morning and ordered to report
to the various packing houses for duty.
The militia have all been withdrawn from
the outposts and are now in the barracks
General Fitzsimmons has recommended
that the soldiers be withdrawn tomorrow,
as, in his opinion, the civil authorities will
be all that is needed.
The exodus of the imported men con-
tinues, but in some houses they show q
disposition to stick, and, as they were
promised not to be subjected to any in
dignities if the employers can prevent it,
they are preparing to become part of the
establishment. Some are quite skilled
men, and may in time affiliate with the
old hands.
NEARLY HALF OF THE STRIKERS BACK.
Perhaps forty per cent Of the employees
engaged in the strike are now back with
in the packing houses. The soldiers
were used to-day, as before to clear the
Viaducts and disperse the large
crowds ut the entrances who were
not wanted. There was no resistance and
but very little bad feeling. Very many of
the old butchers taken back are stubborn
ly fighting the iron clad agreement of the
packers. Many have refused to sign it
and quiet force in Swift's walked out
when the binding contract was presented
to them. At the House of Nelson Morris
ANOTHER DISAGREEMENT
has arisen. The packers propose TO pay
by the hour and to pay only for time ac
tually worked. Heretofore if the men re-
ported for the day and had but two or
three hours work they got full time. The
men who went to work for Morris yesterday
accepted the new deal and are at work to-
day, but those selected to-day sent COM
mittee to Mr. Morris this forenoon TO say
that they would not enter the house unless
paid full time, and they did not go to
work

found to be 4 corpse. The wounds in
hicted by the dog were made on the lower

bia to-day. and she will be buried tO-mOr-

Still a MYsterN

CLEVELAND, O., November 16.-Benja-
min WHEELER, the old man who was
arrested on suspicion of having had some
thing to do with the murder of his wife
last Friday night was released to-day on
So, 900 bail. Patrick Graves, who was
charged with the crime by WHEELER, is
still held in default of $40, 900 bail. The
preliminary hearing of the prisoners was
begun in police court to-day, but was
not concluded The Coroner has not yet
rendered his verdict The police are still
at work on the case, but have made no
further arrests. One theory advanced by
them is that WHEELER and his wife quar-
relied, that she struck him, and he choked
her to death. Physicians scout this
theory, however, they declaring that the
welt on Wheller's head could not have
been inflicted by the woman. The case is
still shrouded in mystery.

POWER OF ONE VOTE.

States Senator.

States Senator.
TRENTON, n J., November l6.-There
was a tie in the third district of PasSaic
county between Eugene Emley, Republi-
can, and K. A. Carroll, Democrat, at the
last election. \ recount of the votes Sc
cured the seat for the latter by one ballot.
The Importance of the result is apparent,
for omit depended the question whether
General Sewell or Governor Albeit should
20 to the United States Senate.
Before this recount the House of Assem-
bly, stood 81 Democrats and y Republi-
cans, with DOnohue, the newly-elected
Labor aSsemblyman from Passaic county
unpledged and uncertain. If Emley were
found to be elected, the House would
stand 81 Democrats, - Republicans and
DOnOhue. That is to say, the Democrats
would have majority in the House under
any circumstances. But the Senate
stands II Republicans and 9 Democrats,
majority of 3 for the Republicans. Now
that Barroll is elected the Democrats will
have a clear majority independent OF Don
Ohue.
