AN ESCAPE
or Four Prisoners from Wiscassett Count y
Jail.
WIsCAssETT, Sept. II.

WIsCAssETT, Sept II.
Yesterday morning. when Mr. Seth Patter-
son, deputy sheriff for Lincoln county, en-
tered the Wiscassett jail he was seized by
some prisoners and overpowered. He was
quite roughly handled, but not much injured.
Four of the prisoners escaped, and before
Mr.. Patterson could give the alarm were out
sight. 1t is not known what direction they
took. Officers are on the lookout for them.
The four men who escaped are all awaiting
George Jones, who was held for trial for
breaking into the house of Mr.. Rufus Storer
North Waldoboro, Aug. Cd, and stealing S25.
Another was the South Warren negro, Jos.
Peters, who has a long criminal record, al
though young man. He is held for burg
lary of the store of Mr. |. E. Rollins, com
mitted in March, 1879. He escaped from
the court house prison when arrested soon
after the burglary, and was not retaken until
last June. He had served term in prison
in Massachusetts. A third one OF the jail
breakers is Lynn policeman, named Reed,
who came down into Sagadahoc county and
stole horse. The other is an Italian who
shot the inn keeper of the toll gate of bridge
at Wiscassett. kilograms have been sent to
all parts of the state and good lookout will
he kept all around. The men will probably
separate, but it is hardly possible that any
will fail to be retaken.

TWO OR THREE WIVES.
Anesed BIsamy Case Which is Now
akins Up the Attention of the Bangor
feople-A Sensational Affair.

BANGOR, Sept. II.
ihis morning rather frail, care-worn
women OF perhaps forty years was at the
poiice station, waiting. She told a some.
"hat sensational story of bigamy in which
ner daughter was concerned The woman's
name was Mrs. David Perry
according to Mrs. Perry, who resides and
mas been working in Gardiner, her daughter
oA"'a' aged nineteen, had been keeping
mouse Tor her other daughter and Mr.. Perry
at Carmel. Not far from where the Perrvs
i've, sister of Thomas Pooler resides and
tnat sister wanting a hired girl sent him in
quest OF one. BY some means he heard of
the Perry girl at Carmel, and succeeded in
engaging her.
some four weeks afterwards Sabra went
to her father and informed him that she in
tended to marry Pooler who had been very
KIND to her since her stay at his sisters The
father objected, but seeing that his daughter
was determined. permitted her to have her
own way. Pooler and Sabra came to Bangor
where, at the residence of James Maroon.
they were married by Justice jacob Durgin.
Last Saturday night, Mrs. Perry, who
CHANGED to be in Bangor, met Sabra at a
Main street store, when the latter completely
astonlshed her by introducing Mr. Pooler.
Mrs. Perry knew nothing of the intentions
of Sabra previous to this and never dreamed
that she entertained any ideas of marriage.
Said she:
"Why, Sabra, would rather have buried
you."
"Why, mother" replied the daughter
What do you mean?7 asked Pooler in
dignantly.
And for moment or two there was quiet
little sensation during which Pooler and
Mrs. Perry eyed each other in an extremely
surprised and unfrendly way.
Upon invitation the mother accompanied
the couple to the home of the Marcou's,
where they were boarding, and remained for
perhaps half an hour. She also visited them
again. AT third visit she was informed by
a lady at the house that Pooler had another
wife in Stockton, and, more than that, had a
son y years old. An old gentleman who
boarded there confirmad this story while the
woman added that she believed that Pooler
had three wives in ALL
This information startled the mother and
Tuesday morning she went to the MarshaPs
office and swore out warrant against Pooler
The latter suspecting that something of the
kind was in the wind moved some of his be-
longings down to wharf and while he was
being searched for elsewhere rowed with his
bride across the Penobscot and made good
his escape.
Pooler is about thirtyfive years old. Sabra
is as the mother says, a simple minded girl,
fairly good looking, and has not been well
for several years.

The Seizure Of British Vessel, to Come Up
in the Silka Court.
Special Agent Tingle of the treasury de-
partment has returned to the city from
Alaska He left Alaska shortly after the
seizure of the foreign sealers had been made
by Capt. Abbey. In the case of the British
vessel Onward" Tingle saws that the mas
ter of the vessel admitted having killed his
catch of seals along the shores of the Seal
Islands. These predatory sealers, he says,
make practice of stealing ashore under the
cover of fogs and clubbing seals. which are
then tossed into the boats and conveyed on
arH nE akt
numbers of seals are also shot in the sea and
this practice is particularly destructive from
the fact that three out of every four animals
shot sink and cannot be recovered. Not
withstanding these losses however. the agent
says that seal life is increasing with great
rapidlty. The agent is not inclined to dcuss
the legality of the seizures already made, but
stated that law officers had been sent from
San Francisco to assist in the prosecution of
the cases before the Silks court,
Secretary Manning to be u. s. Minister
to Austria.
The Evening Star prints statement to
the effect that Sec. Manning will go to Aus

BOSTON, Sept. II.
At conference between milk contractors
and the directors of the New England Milk
Producers Association this afternoon, there
was quite discussion, but this resolution
prevailed -
That the price of milk from Oct /, 1886,
to April l, 1887, delivered in Boston, be 36
cents per can of usual size, aud that the con-
tractors have the privilege of charging back
sui plus on milk in excess of what is reasona-
Bile for the variation in trade"
The price of milk to the consumer for the
