their close confinement. Here they
will remain for some time, and they
will be permitted to see no one but
their counsel, if they have any, until
the May term of court.
Where the prisoners got the tools
with which they did their clever work
is mystery. OF course visitors car.
ried the saws and knives into them, as
all prisoners are carefully searched
before being committed. 1t would be
interesting to know who furnished the
articles, as they would be severely
dealt with.
Such instruments as found in the
cell of Loud and Grosevenor, in the
hands of a desperate man, would
mean murder if dealt upon the Jail
officials at some unguarded moment.
In addition to the materials found
which had been used for breaking
out, the searchers discovered in the
cell, the handle of pewter spoon.
This spoon had been cut to very closely
resemble the key which opens the
outside Jail door. This was made un-
doubtly for the purpose of sending it
out by some visiting friends and have
a key made which would turn the
lock. Grosevenor, time and again has
been trying the door between the
mems and boys corridor, to see if it
was bolted.
AS both men have pleaded guilty to
offences OF g. grave character, it is en-
tirely likely that the sentence of the
Court will be very severe, as the at
tempt at Jail breaking will be taken
into consideration along with the
other matter
Sheriff Whitecar is to be congrat-
ulated for his watchfulness and the
efforts which he made to ferret out

Disastrous Fire.

The large residences of Richard
Doughty and Parker Tilton, at Abse-
con, Atlantic county, were destroyed
by fire Friday morning. The fire
was caused by the explosion of Il gAso-
line stove in the kitchen of Mr.. Dough-
tvs house, the burning fluid setting
fire TO the carpets and furniture, and
in few minutes the house was mass
of flames. Pauline Miller, the servant,
who was about to light the stove, was
BADLY burned by the oil setting fire to
Der clothing; she was removed to the
Cooper Hospital, Camden.
The flames from Doughty's house
communicated to the house of Mr.. Til
ton and that was also destroyed.
There was said to have been about
$4,000 in gold coin secreted in Mr..
Doughty's house, of which several
thousand dollars was recovered after
the fire. The loss to Mr.. Doughty is
variously estimated at from $4,000 to
100000, on which there is said to be a
partial insurance.
Mr.. Tilton's loss is estimated at
about $4,000.

PASTOR RECEIVED.
Rev. John GOOrley Made Ac-
Quainted with HIS People.

Thursday night at the Cumbel land
Glass Works Hall, the congregation and
friends of the Wesley Memorial Nj E.
Church, gave the pastor, Rev. John
Goorley a warm reception.
If Mr.. Goorley had any msgivings
in coming to this city, they must have
been swept away last night, for the
people certainly exhibited the most
cordial welcome, and indicated the
sincerest cooperation in the work to
be done by the church. A very large
number was present, and the evening
spent was most tenjoyable. A program
had been prepared, which was very
pleasing. The reception was first.
Mr.. iona. Parker introduced the pas
tor to the people, and made him ac-
quainted with all those present.
An orchestra played Il medley, and
Presiding Elder Dobbins offered
prayer. A second selection by the or
chestra was followed by very pretty
vocal quartette, by Misses Cora Souder
and Lizzie Babcock, and Messrs. David
Blew and G. w. Shoemaker. An in
teresting class of boys sang chorus
and orchestra music followed. The
boys again sang, and iona. Parker
welcomed the pastor in manner most
appropriate. Addresses were made by
Rev. John s Heisler, Presiding Elder
Dahhipc and tho nactor Pow To,n
Goorley. After music by the orches-
ira, refreshments were bountifully
served.

A CHANGE ATIVY HALL.
Dr. Reeves to Retire from the
PrincipaIsh1p of the School.

After ten years of uninterrupted
prosperity under it's present manage
ment, Ivy Hall, the popular Young
Ladies Seminary, of our city, will be-
gin its next school year by the retire
ment of its honored Principal, Rev,
DIR. Henry Reeves, and the installa,
ton OF his successor. 1t will be
pleasing surprise to his many attached
friends to learn that DR.. Reeves is to be
succeeded as Principal, by Mrs. Rena
b. Maxwell, widow of Rev. J. Allen
Maxwell, D. D., the former pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, of our
city, and late of Danbury, Conn.
Like her beloved husband, Mrs.
Maxwell, during the seven years of
their residence here, was very highly
esteemed, and is we'll known. Her
mental and social attainments admir-.
ably fit her for the responsible posi-
ton she is about to assume. 1t will
also add to the interest of the announce.
ment to state that Mrs. Maxwell will
retain DR.. Reeves as Professor of Eng
lish Literature, Rhetoric, the Sciences,
etc, as we'll as most of the present
corps of excellent teachers. In addi-
ton to these. she will have the assist
ance Of her daughter, Miss Grace
Maxwell, former pupil and primary
teacher IF Ivy Hall, whose attainments
aud experience, will prove of great
value to the School.
The reason of the change at this
time, is the desire on the part of the
Principal to relieve his wife OF the re-
sponsibility, as required by her pres
ent state of health. Under the new
management, with the prestige this
excellent school enjoys, its future
prospects are indeed f1attering.

A MIDNIGHT FIRE.
A GREATCONFLA
TION LAST NIGHT.
A FIRE IN Williams Wall Paper
store. which might have
been Great.

Fire was discovered in the wall pa
per store, Of L. T. Williams, in
Graham's building, No. 4OE. Commerce
street, soon after midnight Monday
night, which, but for its timely dIscev.
cry, might have resulted in a great
confiagration.
Soon after 70 O'Clock. Lena, Mrs. A.
F. Stevens servant girl, was awakened
by smoke in her chamber. She arose,
and awaking Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens.
told them she could not sleep on &C
count OF smoke in her room, and she
thought there must be fire somewhere.
They sprang out of bed and fastened
down stairs. Finding no fire in their
store, they examined the anjoining
stores, over which their sleeping rooms
are situated. Mr.. Stevens saw that
there was fire in Mr.. Williams paper
store.
He ran to the front and whistled for
Officer Charles Shull, who was just ap-
peared at the corner. The officer ran
to the place and both going to the
back of the building, Mr. Stevens
burst open the door, and then he and
the off ser began TO carry water in
buckets and threw upon the fire, which
was smouldering in the piles of wall
paper. In the mean time Mrs. Ste
vens and the servant ran to the neigh
boring houses and pulled the bell
knobs. George Douglass was on the
ground about the first one after Mrs.
Stevens had screamed fire. and DR..
Sheppard was there in a moment and
carried bucket after bucket of water.
working like hero to extinguish the
flames, also DR.. Dare, Councilman
johnson and others.
Two boys passing by seeing the fire,
dashed up Cohansey street for dear
life and rang the fire bell.
Five minutes later the fire engine
came

came

The hose was attached to the fire
plug and a stream of water was started
uponuthe flames, quickly extinguishing 6
them, and averting what might have
been terrible confagration. Those
buildings are of frame and had the
flames once got headway, nothing
could have saved them.
Mr.. Stevens, two children were up.
stairs sleeping but Mrs. Stevens and
the servant girl, fearing what might
follow, rushed up aud brought them
down. Mr. Stevens was so excited
that he had not put on his shoes until
after the engine arrived, but. bare
footed, carried water for about ten
minutes.
He and his family deserve great
credit for their 'promptness and energy
in what they did.
The building was fully insured in the
Cumberland Mutual, while Mr.
Williams carried an insurance of $1,000,
in companies represented by j. J.
Reeves.
The loss to the building will be but
slight, while that to the stock will be
quite heavy. Mr.. Graham sustained
some loss on carpets and oil cloths,
which he still had in the store.
How the fire originated is mystery;
it was supposed to have started in q
box of paper, and it was thought pos
sible there might have been some
matches there, which may have become
ignited by mice. or in some other
manner.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Interesting Suit in Justice Wells
Court.

Justice Samuel W. Wells spacious
and nicely furnished Offices in the
Miner building, was filled Saturday by
an interesting group of spectators,
| who were anxious to hear a suit for
damages, in which Samuel Mills and
Capt. William Garrison, of Greenwich,
were plaintiffs, and Garrison & Minch,
were defendants. Prosecutor Logue
represented the plaintiffs while the
defense was made by Walter H. Bacon.
Justice Wells swore the following
jury TO try the case: Jesse G. Davis.
Charles Laning, William McKim,
David w. Frye, Chas. P. McGear,
Henry s. Woodruff, David R. Kincaid,
John Wilcox, Edward Butler, Stacy
W. Newcomb, Christian F. Krauter
and G. R. Scull.
The plaintiffs through Messrs Lem
uel Sloan, Samuel Wells, Capt. Garri
son and ship builder VIM. Rice, en-
deavored to show to the jury that
some time in May, 1890, Garrison &
Minch wanted small vessel to take
twenty five tons of phosphate from
their place, down at Greenwich. This
was planting time and boats and crews
were scarce. The plaintiffs had one
boat, the ''Anna Maria" that they
claimed they allowed the firm to take,
provided they would furnish their own
crew, and be responsible for the boat.
The firm sent an employee. Peter
Garrison went after the boat, and it was
brought to this city. At the wharf,
it was claimed, that proper precautions
had not been taken, and the boat
was badly damaged, so that it
took more than sixty dollars for re-
pairs at Rice Brothers. Hence the
suit, which was for $1O0
The defense was that the firm had
nothing to do with the boat. Both
Mr.. Garrison and Mr.. Minch under
stood that Pete Garrison was to have
$25 for carting the freight, and was to
be solely responsible for the We ssel.
An effort was made to show that the
boat was old, and that she had not
been damaged through carelessness.
The lawyers summed up the case,
and after deliberation the jury re-
turned verdict for tae plaintiff for
$54.73.

There are few stories of a legendary
nature that are not related in several
different forms. This excellent version
of them:
When the Great Spirit created the
world, he first made three men, all of
the same color. Then he led them to q
pool of water and bade them jump in
and bathe. One of them, obeying at
once, leaped in i'll advance of his fell
lows, and came out clean and white.
The others hesitated, but one soon fol-
lowed the first. When he went in, the
water had become somewhat stained,
and he came out copper colored.
Then the third man went in By that
time the water of the pool had become
black, and he was consequently black
when he had bathed.
Thus it happens that there are white
men, red men, and black men in the
world.
Then the Great Spirit laid down three
packages before the three men, which
contained their future fate Out of
pity for the LACK man, He permitted
him to have his first choice of the
parcels
The black man. without hesitation,
took the largest OF the parcels; the red
man, whose turn was next, took the
next largest parcel, and the white man
got the remaining one, which was very
small
Then the men opened their packages
That of the black man was found to
contain shovels and other implements
of labor; the red mans contained bows
and arrows, and the white mans small
parcel consisted of pens, ink, and tools
for fine, light work.
From that time on, each man made
use of the tools he had chosen.
