Sheriff Tripp accompanied lyi
Dept. Sheriff r. M. Stormont andt
Chas. Lauer, the latter furnishing
conveyance, left town on Friday for
the express purpose of re-capturing
the escaped convict, Lincoln Edkin.
Their plan was to drive by the
house occupied by Edkin in Lycom-
ing county and observe tie passages
of escape. They did this and only
observed one door in the house.
On passing the house several rods
they wheeled about and returned,
the Sheriff and his Dept. lighted
from the vehicle and not waiting
for preliminaries threw open the
door and entered. They observed
man in the room who was barber
ing little girls hair. The Sheriff
rushed to his side caught him by
his shoulder and holding his head
up asked the deputy II he was the
man. Before an answer was given
the officials heard window drop in
an adjoining room. They ran out
side just in time to give their man
in pursuit, 8 rods in the lead. The
Sheriff made a desperate struggle to
capture his would be man, bat only
made few leaps when he fell
owing to crippled leg nursed by
him. Deputy Stormont continued
the chase to the woods accompanied
by Chas. Lauer, and fired several
shots in the air and at the same time
giving tongue to hault. The "once
q prisoner" who had realized q few
lays in the county prison, could not
see it that way, and the l. der the
deputy made his wants known the
faster he took to his heals. He ran
to the woods and was soon lost
sight of by his pursuers. The
boys returned to the county seat on
the same night and were quite bash
full in relating their experience.

A new and quite interesting race
question is reported from the South,
this time it being the colored people
who are objecting. In the Clark
University, a young white man, a
relative OF the matron, is quartered
near the girls dormitory and the
colored students vigorously disap-
prove. So emphatic have they be-
come in their expressions of disap'
proval that some of them have been
arrested. The dispatches report
that the Objectionable white youth
is good looking. and the colored
beaux evidently are unwilling that
he should have any other advantage
over them.

all he should ask for in a wife would
be good temper, health, good un-
derstanding, agreeable physiognomy
figure, good connection, domestic
habits, resources of amusement,
good spirits. conversational talents,
elegant manners and money. He
should have added pair of nice

An important stage in the judicial
contest was reached on Saturday,
when the arguments came to close.
The question is now entirely in the
hands of the commission, composed
of Judges Mayor, Bucher and Rocke-
feller, who will doubtless address
themselves to its solution as early
as possible. Owing to their judicial
duties in their own districts, the
judges had to adjourn for the pres
ent, and will not re-convene until
the 18th of this month. AS they
notified the counsel to be present on
the 18th, there is a possibility that
there may be something important
developed at that time.-Gazette
