PRISON DELIVERY,
Four Men Tunnel Their Way to Freedom
 at Folsom.

SACRAMENTO, August 20.-Mathias Blumer, Charles Gilerman, Tom Wilson and c. II. Kohler, four convicts effected a marvellous escape from Folsom prison last night. The men failed to appear for work this morning and a search of their cell showed that a great slab of granite five feet long, two feet wide and two feet thick had been removed from the floor. Under this the prisoners had dug tunnel sixty feet long shooting down a steep incline to get under the prison wall and when that was reached tunnelling upward again and opening on the lawn north of the prison.
 In the tunnel were found an abund- ance of crowbars, chisels, hammers and drills. The work had evidently taken months to accomplish and the prisoners had disposed of the excavations by putting little in their slop buckets every morning. Once out side the prison proper they easily scaled the walls and eluded the guards during the night. All the men are Ger mans and were employed in the stone quarry outside of the prison, where they secured the tools to work with. Descriptions of the men have been sent out, and reward of $50 each is offered for their capture.

Special Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN.

Special Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN. MESA, Ariz., August lS.-As Repub- lican, l desire to deny the statement made recently in the Ga.ette that the delegation from here to the Republican Convention are against the administra- ton. It is not so; they were not elected on any such issue.
 Our primaries here last Friday were a grand success, thirty-five unanimous votes being cast. Four of the voters were recent converts from the Democ- racy. Mesa can safely be put down for seventy-five Republican votes next cleo tiOn.
 At the Democratic primaries, on Sat urday, the "Priesthood ticket was elected with the exception of c. B. Lewis. The straight Democratic ticket, headed by w. N. Standage, was de feated, though carrying Stringtown by thirty-tive majority. Standage is much more popular here than his opponent.

The Castle Creek Road.

There is now every probability that the Castle Creek road to the Bradshaws will be speedily put into good condition. A subscription paper, handed yesterday to few local business men, bore in the afternoon the following items: Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad Company, 5000 !; II. F.. Kemp x Co.,, S400; F. J. Trask, S400; Goldman X Co.,, S4OO; Valley Bank, S250. To this list many other firms will, no doubt, add handsomely when they obtain a sight of the paper. The docu- ment authorizes A. T. Marsh to construct ten-foot wagon road, with convenient turning out places, from point near the mouth of Castle Creek, distance of fifteen miles, to Minnehaha Flat. The work is to be done under the supervision of a committee of three, who will make such payments from time to time as there has been work done to justify.

journment Taken Until Today.
 BOISE CrrY Idaho, August 20.-The first Republican State Convention in the New State of Idaho assembled here today.
 Fred Dubois, Chairman of the Com mittee, called the Convention to order. He said that the people of Idaho have every reason to be proud of the record of the National Republican party. It had sustained wide and patriotic sentiments, against treason able Mormons, had given better silver legislation than people had dared to hope for, had protected the focks and the mines against competition from the ill-paid peon labor of Spain and Mexico. It remained for us to fulfill our obliga- tions to the National party.
 J. $. Weeler was chosen temporary chairman.
 After the appointments Of the usual committees, the Convention took recess until this evening.
 The organization was completed at the evening session. w. w. Watkins was elected permanent chairman, after which the Convention adjourned until to- morrow.

AFTER THE CYCLONE.
Scenes of Wreckage and Devastation
 Around WilkesBarre

Around WilkesBarre.
 WuKEsBARRE, Pa, August 2O.-The destruction wrought by yesterdays cyclone is more apparent this morning. At South Wilkesbarre the Vulcan Iron works, James Norris foundry and the Keystone flour mill felt the first shock, the wind dashing their heavy material about like straws.
 The storm swept on up Main street, raizing buildings on that thoroughfore, including handsome residences, stores and green houses. Then the cyclone spread east and west, destroying property until it spent itself in the woods.
 The scene at Hazards Wire Rope Works was terrible. The immense building was badly wrecked and in the debris lay many dead and injured. Ponderous machinery was mixed with brick, mortar and general rubbish in a confused mass. The number of injured men at these works exceeds twelve, with two killed.
 The houses occupied hy the families of James Mckinley and James Henagan were leveled to the ground and the in- mates held in the ruins. Mrs. Eliza Jane Mckinley, aged about 2S years, her babe and John Mckinley, aged l3, were crushed to death. Mary Jane McGin- lev, little daughter, was so severely hurt that but little hope is entertained of her recovery. The family of James Henagan could not be found and it is believed they all perished.
 A careful estimate places the number of buildings demolished and partly destroyed at nearly 400. The loss will probably reach nearly Sl,O00,00O. The number of killed is eleven; fatally in jured, ten; severely injured, twenty four.

digging his heel into soft spot in the
boards.
'ThInk of il, - he cried, vehementlY,

for the hunt.

Cecil.

loyal to Cobbs in spite of his pique, "it's
