intwo hours the Justice had completed bis
daily duties that pertained to the bench.

Mr.. Baxter appeared as Lorenzo, and he
sang bis numbers very sweetly indeed.
He has pure tenor voice and knows how
to use it. Mr.. Clark made the hit OF the
evening as Beppo. In the last act he in
terpolated "Let All Obey" from Balfe's
Enchantress, and won rapturous ap-
plause for his rendering OF this popular
song.
Tonight Carmen will be given with

JOE ADAMSIN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Charged with stealing watch from
MyrOn Bakers Person.

Joe Adams, young man Oh not more
than twenty-five or three summers, and
who appears even several years younger,
was before the Police Court yesterday
morning charged with unlawfully and
feloniously stealing from the person OF

S240.
Adams, though young, is well known
in police circles and has spent at least
two years OF his life behind prison bars.
1t will be remembered that about two
years ago he, together with several other
prisoners, attempted to escape from the
city jail, and in scaling the high pfison
walls fell and broke his leg and was re-
captured. He only lacked then a few
days of having completed his term, but
was given six months more for his at
tempted escape.
The evidence in the present case, as
far as heard, shows that between and 3
o'clock yesterday morning Mr.. Baker,
while sitting in Murphy's barroom, on
Sixth street near Marshall, asleep, had
his watch. guard cut in two and his hand
some gold watch stolen.
The proprietor Of the establishment
testified that he saw theaccused hanging
around Baker before the latter fell
asleep and feeling about his clothes ;
that Baker spoke to Adams and told
him to let him alone that when Adams
went out of the saloon witness aroused
Baker and asked him if he had his watch,
but it was gone.
Later in the morning Adams was
arrested, but the watch was not found.
The case was continued until Thursday
that other witnesses may be summoned,
and Adams, being unable to give secu-
rity, was committed to jail.

THE JAIL-BREAKING.
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY on THE
RECENT ESCAPE OF PRISONERS.
Their 0bserv ations on the Prison NJ .ge-
ment-A Number Of Incict-
ments Found, &c.

Yesterday the Hustings-Court grand
jury looked into the matter Of the escape
of certain prisoners from the city jail on
December 10th. A number of witnesses
were examined and the jury formulated
report, which was presented to the
Court.
JURORS OBSERVATIONS.
In the report they say that "the es-
cape was due to the employment OF
prisoners to perform duties outside the
prison proper (but inside the entrance
yard) and carelessness on the part OF the
officers of the Jail in the manner of Sc
curing the prisoners confined In the
dungeon unsecured by a lock. They
think that the presence of single watch
man on duty for portion of time--from
7 to 9P. M.-was wrong; and the grand
jury further find that there is evidence
before them to show great remissness on
the part Of the jailor and every officer IN
the general security of the JAIL.
GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS.
The grand jury--Dr. @. S. Mills fore
man-yesterday brought in the follow
ing true bills OF indictments and misde-

The BeIINot Broken.

"The bell of the Third Presbyterian
church is broken, consequently it will
not be rung for the service to be held to-
night (Tuesday)."
The above, written by member of
the congregation of this church, was
handed in at this Office on Monday and
was published by request of the writer.
Mr.. Edwin Peasants, member of the
church, when asked by Dispatch re-
porter yesterday what was the trouble
about the bell remarked that there was
none. The author of the item was be-
yond doubt conscientious, but he was
mistaken. There being some doubt on
Sunday as to whether services would be
held last night a conditional notice was
given, and the ringing of the bell was to
inform the congregation if services would
be held. 1t was decided not to have SER
vices, and the bell did not ring.
