Eseaped from the ssRottenv Jall.

Last Friday afternoon about dusk it was
discovered that two Of the three prisoners
in iail had escaped They occupied the
same cell, and had with q spoon or some
such instrument sc1aped through plank,
and forcing staple from its hold, had got
out into the passage way. A shake or two
on the lock Of the outer door, put them IN
the sweet fresh air once again. They then
silently bade the old Jail goodbye, and left
fo- parts as yet unknown to the Sheriff. This
r;ckety building, though built only four or
I've years ago, is disgrace to the county
and to the county commissioners who built
It. We respectfully submit for the consid,
Grafton of our county commissioners, and
of our representatives in the Legislature,
that the present building be sold as q pig 6
con house, and that substantial brick
building be built to be used as jail.

combination to the safe in his Office. He
got st changed, but could not get it night
again. It refused to act, as the small boy
would say. Night came on, and still 1t re,
fused to do his bidding. Finally wearled
out he yielded, and pillowing his head on
cushion scarcely less soft than the stone old
Jacob once used for his pillow, he with
Spartan for6tude watched by the side Of his
treasures or valuables till the next day,
when his efforts met with success, and the
ponderous door of the safe could be ecured

There were numerous visits by the
Baldknobbers to petty offenders, but
nothing occurred to attract especial at
tention until the Green-EGens affair,
which terminated in the downfall of
Baldxnobberism. The Green-Edens
killing occurred on the night of March
II, 1887. At a point eight miles east of
Ozark. and near the Edens dwelling, n
John Evans was whipped by the Bald
knoobers ior misbehavlng in church. Old
man Edens, who was a friend of Evans,
interfered, and received four blows
with the whip be ore Chief
Walker too could interfere. Edens
fearlesslv denied Baldknobberlsm, and
on March IL the band met to consider
what punishment should be melted out
to the old man who dared c~riticise the
methods OF the Regulators. AT the
meeting it was decided to punish every
member of Edens' family, which was
done, the old man being killed.
This outrage brought about a cnlmina-
ton of public Indignation, and Zach
Johnson, the fearless sheriff of Chris
tan County, with a picked posse, had
the mugderers in custody within forty
eight hours time. TIE ,tridis OF the
men were attended with many scenes of
IN exciting character, but three of the
prisoners finally confessed to secure IN

RAIN NEEDED EVERYWHERE.
Review of the Crop Condition for
the

neVl6W OF the crop Condition Tor q
the Northwest.
The government weather crop bulle-
tin for the week ending Saturday, May
IL, 1889, SAYS: The weather during the
week, generally throughout the South
ern states and Central valleys, has been
u~ntavoraDle to the crops, owing to
the deficiency of rain. This has
been especially the case in the Ohio
Valley, where the total absence of
rain, combined with unusually high
temperature, has augmented the drouth
conditions of previously reported, and
some damage has resulted to wheat, oats
and tobacco along the Ohio River. II
is probable that this section will be Wis
tied by rain to-day, which may in q
measure prevent extensive injury. Re.
ports from the cotton belt indicate that
the entire section is in need of rain,
and owing to cool nights it has been
found necessary 10 replant cotton in
some sections.
Warm weather and numerous show
ers in New England and the Middle At
lantic states proved favorable to all
crops, the growth of which was unusual
ly rapid, and although the crops are in
excellent condition, more rain would be
beneficial.
In III NORTHWEST, the general erect OF
the week was to improve the crop con
dltions. This statement applies to Min
nesota, Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Northwest Missouri and portions OF
Northern Illinois. Some replanting in
this section will be necessary, owing to
the nigh winds which uncovered and
scattered seeds. The weather was ia
vorable for corn planting throughout the
corn belt, Dakota reporting an unusual.
ly large acreage, and planting we'll ad-
vanced.
The condition of the fruit crop is en-.
couraging in al sections. New England
and middle states reporting the fruit
crop as excellent, while in Tennessee
and Alabama fruit has been slightly in
iured by light frost.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1.-THE con-
dition Of winter wheat has advanced
from 81 TO So; of rye, 93.9 to 96.5; aver
age of winter barley, $50; spring past
ure, 96.e; moving lands, 96.3. The
winter wheat of the Ohio Valley, while
fully maintaining its A pril position, has
had a scant supply of moisture, and
fears of future decline of condition are
entertained in cases Of a continued de-
fciency of rainfall. On the Atlantic
slope the plant is generally
green and f1ourishing, but has not
filtered we'll in localities inclined to
dryness. High condition is reported in
the South, though rust has appeared
upon the wheat blades in some fields.

principal production are: Ohio, go:
Michigan, 90; Indiana, 95; Illinois, 9S;
Missouri, So; Kansas, 9S; Texas. So;

SUED BY EDISON.
The Inventor Wants $3.50, 900 From A,

The Inventor Wants $780, 600 From At
torneys GIlliland and Tomlinson.
In the United States courts at New
York on the 18th, the wizard of Menlo
Park, Thomas A. Edison, began a suit
in equity against Ezra Gilliland, OF
Boston, and a lawyer named Tomlinson,
of New York, for the recovery of $780,
600. According to the complaint, Edi-
son employed both Gilliland and Tom
linson last year to sell his
rights in the photograph. These
rights Mr.. Edison estimated to be
worth $1,OO0,000. 1t is alleged
that through the representations of the
defendants he parted with these rights
for $50O,00O, In what is termed an al
legged "deal' with one Jesse Lippincott,
the defendants made $3.50, 600. Tomlin-
son, at the time Edison took him into
his confidence, was a lawyer with very
limited practice. Gilliland, also a law
yer, had an annual income of about S5,.
900 in Boston. BY IN alleged devious
sale of the photograph, it is claimed,
they made the amount which Mr.. Edi~
son at present seeks to recover

BERLIN, May 12.-ihe whole
of Dusseldorf is now on duty in t.
cinity of the coal mines for the purp
of preserving order among the strikin.
miners. About midnight last night a
mob set fire to an,ofl factory at Lieren-
field, which was consumed. The Null
helm and Dulsberg miners have joined
in the strike. At Schleswig, a number
of pitmen attacked their foreman with
daggers, and he had to flee for his life.
A body of in antry arrived there at 3
o'clock this morning, when the rioters,
who had formed into two bodies, took
refuge behind a railway embankment,
and Jeered atthe troops. Three timesthe
rioters were called upon to dispense, but
they refused to obey. The soldiers then
tired into the crowd, killingsix persons,
one of them a 4-year-old child. A wo-
nan was also wounded. After the fir
ing the mob dispersed. The district
bristles with troops. The first shipment
OF Belgian coal has arrived here. The
mine owners held a meeting at Essen,
which was attended by government OF
fcials, and resolved to raise the wages
of the miners, but they firmly decline to
concede eight hours as a days labor.
The coal mine owners and the striking
miners have appointed committees to
confer together and arrange a settle
ment of the dispute.
At a meeting of miners at Essen, to-
day, it was decided to cease work in
forly-two c~ollieries tomorrow.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, May 10.-Dr. Cronin,
the physician who disappeared Satur-
day night, is known to be alive; at least
he was seen on Sunday evening, en-
route to the Union Depot, carrying his
surgical case and package Of cotton.
The impression is now quite generally
held that Cronin, who is known to be
In intimate friend of LIE Caron, the in
former, is q spy in the employ of the
British government. 1t is supposed
that he left Chicago for New York, and
will thence proceed tt London to testify
In the Parnell case.
Officers O'Malley and Hall, of the
West Twelfth Street Station, lett for the
North Side to work a promising clew to
they picked up a white horse answering
buggy in which Cronin rode when he
lett his residence on the morning of his
disappearance. The horse is in posses
sion OF a maj giving the name of John
Brown, who is now held IN a
charge of horse stealing. The officers
believe the animal to be the property of
Dean, the liveryman. on Webster Ave-
nue.. Brown says he found the horse.
and that he was leading it to the police
station.
Another Cronin has disappeared, and
it is thought his absence is connected
with that of the celebrated Doctor.
About the time of DR.. Cronin's exit
from public gaze the ~15-year-old son of
Michael Cronin vanished from home on
Michael Cronin, the Doctors cousin, en-
ployed in liners nursery office, in
Wabash Avenue. The missing lad was
employed in a lumber yard, was steady
and seldom absent from home at night.
At the time the Doctor disappeared he
was missed from home and has not been
seen since.
LONDON, May 10.-Le Caron, the man
who acted a a spy for the British
government on the movement of the
Irish leaders in America, and who testi-
fed for the Times before the Parnell
commission. declares that he and DR..
Cronin, who recently mysteriousiy dis
appeared from Chicago, were the
closest friends. LIE Caron believes that
DR.. Cronin has been killed, and that the
friendship between himself and the
murdered man may account for his re-
mOyal.
