EXPLAIN, MR.. BIRDSALI.
Whiskey on a String Fur
niShed to Prisoners in
Broad Daylight.

"Johni Johni John p. FeeneyF' ex-
claimed Prosecutor Winfield yesterday as
he Jumped excitedly from his easy chair
In his Office.
AYE, aye, I'm here. What's the mat
teri" said Mr. Feeney.
Look. John. looki Bless my eyes
look There goes a bottle of whiskey
into the jail 70 the prisoners"
John looked toward the jail and saw
John Power fastening a big black bottle
TO string that led TO a window twelve
feet above and opened on the pris oners'
corridor.
Il guess you're right. Prosecutor y
commented John with interest
That is not right, John; prisoners
should not have that"
"rIl haul the fellow in,D interjected
MT. Feeney; the constables looK dry ana
I'll treat 'em."
The detective dashed downstairs and
ran across the grass plot and with COM
mendable energy made a grasp at Powers
and got him.
The bottle. alas he lost.
Andrew 6roQan. who was on the other
end OF the str1ng had secured the whis-
KEY, to the delight Of his fellow prisoners.
Grogan was doing time as a disorderly
person. Detective Feeney had a severe
ing and unlicensed stimulant furnisher
consented togo to the station house,
where be was locked. up on charge Of
disorderiy conduct. About two weeks ago
Powers was convicted in the Court OF
Sessions, but sentence was suspended.
Prosecutor Winfield is very indignant
over the matter and says very pertinent
ly:-"f, during broad daylight at four
O'Clock in the afternoon, bottle of whis-
Key can be introduced into the jail in this
way why cannot the prisoners secure
files, saws, poisons, or any article that
may be desired by themf''
Jailer Birdsall was told of the whiskey
transaction, aud he will investigate the
affair.
Lawyer Theodore b. Ryerson, Jr., told
me today that he had many times seen
whiskey drawn by strings 70 the witness
room in the jail aud that more than once
he had cut the string and secured the
whiskey. King Alcohol appears TO be on
top.

few minutes before five O'Clock they
skated out of the canal on to the river.
They had scarcely got well upon its sur
face and were skating rapidly when the
George was about five feet behind him,
and had great difficulty in avoiding the
hole.
AS Walter went down he cried, sCome
here, George; quickv" George and some
other boys who were near got plank and
pushed iG out over the hole. Walters hat
had come up and they supposed it was his
head. but the boy did not come up, al
though they waited for some time.

THE ARGUS" nAPLEss EMPnYEs.


a Decision of the Court of Appeals
Leaves Them Out in the Cold.
The unfortunate employees of the Argus
concern, which was so badly wrecked by
Charles S. Clarke, Jr., received serious
set back in the Court of Chancery this
morning. Mr.. C. Z. Black. one of the
receivers who sold t6e wreck. applied to
the Chancellor this morning for con-
firmation of the sale. Messrs. S. B. Ran
som and Norman L. Rowe stated that
they represented the employees of the
argus. The Chancellor replied that they
had no standing in court, as
the Court of Errors and Appeals
decided at the last term that the em-
ployes could not be paid ahead of the fixed
encumbrances in cases of this kind
as the sale had not brought sufficient
money to pay off the mortgages II was,
however, intimated that the employees
will have the first lien upon the book ac-
counts which The receivers are now col
lecting.
The Chancellor made pro forma order
confirming the sale, and an opportunity
will be offered any one VINO has any
reason to do so to object TO the sale. The
lawyers representing the employees do
not propose to relinquish their clients
claims without a strong effort TO have
them paid.
