The proposition TO issue $4,000 more
of water bonds was carried by good
majority in Tuesdays election. The
people have expressed themselves as ia
voring the extension of the mains, but
the opposition was so strong as to warn
the council not to be extravagant or

BAFFLED AN ATTEMPTED ES-
CAPE,

Albert Annis, who is awaiting the &C
ton of the next grand jury for assaulting
the little daughter of Robert Stratton
last Nav, was discovered at two O'Clock
Friday morning attempting to sawhis ay
out of Jail. He had well laid plan of
escape. and has been at work carrYinglt
out for two weeks or more. The bolt
that holds his cell door closed at night
goes nearly through the eighteen-inch
stone wall of his cell, from the outside.
The end is capped, and covered with
brick. These latter he removed and
then knocked the bolt out and then
opened his cell door. He climbed up
the newly placed water pipe to the win
dow at the east corner of the building
and pried off the upper corner of the
stout netting. Slipping in between the
netting and the iron bars, the netting
flew into place and he covered the win
dow on the inside with a blanket. he
then removed the panes of glass, and
was hard at work saving off the bars
when he was discovered. The sheriff's
family heard the noise of the dropping
glass, and he and the iailor made rapid
and unexpected investigation. All of
the cell doors appeared TO be locked, as
usual, and nothing appeared to be out OF
the ordinary. Lifting the blanket from
the window, the sheriff saw Annis
crouched down between the netting and
the bars, and quickly got him into anoth-
er cell, where he was manacled, and for
the next ten days he will enjoy diet of
bread and water. 1t had been suspected
that Annis mad saw, ever since knife
was found among the prisoners several
weeks ago. Annis had his cell door
loose for several days, and has been at
work on the window for several nights,
but 1t would have required two weeks
more to have sawed out. He used a
steel knife with nickel edge for saw.
| 1t is not known where he got it.

Editor Phgnir: Among the several possible
candidates for the office of county supervisor W.
l. Gibson of Londonderry is mentioned. During
the - years in which Mr.. Gibson has served AS
town superintendent of Londonderry, it has been
his constant aim To improve aud elevate the
schools under his charge, feeling that the great
majority of the pupils in these schools would new
er enjoy the advantages afforded by the higher
institutions of learning His efforts have been
remarkably successful, considering the extent to
which he has been hamprred and restricted by
our inefficient school laws. Asa man Of educa
ton tact common sense md experience in the
public schools, hr is SECOND to hardly any man
whose name could he mentioned. In fact, there
seems Ia hc hut one serious objection y Ia him,
and that Is that he is farmer. But Lincoln split
rails Garfield drove mules, and Daniel Webster
began his ilnstrious career on a New England
farm Therefore Il seruls To MS that MIR Gibson
agricultural proclivites ought to be considered a,
a desirable qualification rather than an argument
against him. OrER'Vs
