CAPTURED IN wALLIN GFoRD.

Tho Tough Who Escaped From Officer
 Kennaugh By Jumping Through Q
 Window.
 Herman Layman was arrested by Sheriff Austin in Wallingford Saturday night. He is the young tough who escaped from Officer Kennaugh in this city by jumping through an upper story window in the factory of Rogers & Bro ther where he was employed about two months ago. Layman is charged with burglary and sundry other crimes and is being tired in Wallingford to-day.
 Early Sunday evening two suspicious looking characters, evidently tramps. applied to Sheriff Austin for lodging. Austin went over to the lookup with the men and told them ss he had prisoner in one of the cells he would have to lock them up if they remained. They de- murred and Austin told them to clear out, which they did. Later one of the men applied to Constable Ingrdham and was locked in one of the cells.
 Later in the evening Sheriff Austin visited the lookup and found one of the windows broken and a bar of iron, apparently torn from the front of the freight car, lying on the floor just out of reach of the prisoner Layman. It had evidently been thrown through the win dow by some of Layman's friends to as sist him in escaping. The officer remain ed on duty all night watching, and last night watch was kept to see that no attempt was made to rescue the prisoner
 There is sufficient evidence to convict Layman of robbing the Fritz house in Wallingford several months ago, and of other crimes. After Layman was ar rested and brought up town Saturday night, and as he got out of the wagon he dropped d pair of steel knuckles, which were afterward. found and de- livered to Sheriff Austin. A brother of Layman is now serving a five years sentence in states prison for highway robbery.

BLOCKED FOR as MINUTES.
The Horse Railroad Schedule on Bank
 Street Knocked Out.


 Bank street was obstructed for over twenty minutes yesterday by a New York & New England road freight train. The street was lined with teams, horse cars and pedestrians who raved and swore at the negligence of the train crew. A horse car driver who kept time declares that the crossing was ob- structed for twenty-three minutes. It might be well for the railroad company to provide its agents with a copy of the following section of the general statutes of Connecticut:
 Section 2692. Any person travelling upon any public street or highway. which is crossed by railroad, who shall be obstructed or prevented from crossing such railroad for longer time than five minutes, by reason of trains, cars or locomotives standing upon or across such street or highway may recover not exceeding fifty dollars from the corpor- ation owning or operating said railroad provided suit is brought within thirty days after the date of such obstruction.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
YOUNGSTOWN, June 22.-There is no
probability of shutdown here OF the roll
ing mills on July by reason of the scale
question. The sentiment among the manu-
facturers is that if there are no changes in
the scale presented aside from those re-
ported, that it will be accepted. While
there is no boom in orders at any of the
mills, the volume is sufficient to keep run
ming.
The extensive plant of Brown, Bonnell &
Co., which is to be sold on July %, will
probably shut down July l and resume
operations upon the confirmation OF the sale.
The purchasers will doubtless be iron manu-
facturers of the Mahoning Valley.
