Dog License.

City Collector Patton wishes to impress
the fact on the minds of those interested that
the time for paying dog licenses has arrived.
1t is the Collectors intention to collect that
tax and that without delay. He requests
that every person in the city who owns a
dog to come forward and settle the amount
at once. No one is exempt and those who
do not attend to the matter promptly may
expect additional costs and trouble. The
Collector has been instructed to take this
step by the Council and there is no alterna-
tive for him. II the license is not paid by
September 1st the ordinance empowers him
to kill the dog. This notice is official and
final.

To Certain Persons.

The undersigned doesn't want to make
trouble for anybody, unless he is forced to
by circumstances that can't be gotten
around. He wants to live peaeeably and on
good terms with all the world, and to do so
will sacrifice a good deal; but there is linn
it to forbearance: a bound beyond which he
may not pass. That circumscription is
drawn by the City Council, who have de-
creed that all taxes-personal and real
must be paid promptly, or l will have to
make trouble for delinquents. To do this
would be extremely unpleasant, and there
fore 1 beg all who owe the City of.Ironton to
come forward, nor, End settle.

six secondhand torpedo boats and act
as n floating workshop for II fleet. This

Tho Organization Known as tho
Royal Irish Constabulary.
Forco Of Piokod Mon Consisting OF
Thirteen Thousand Members OF All
Ranks-Most or Them Are Irish
and Roman Catholics.

The Royal Irish constabulary now
consists of some Is, 600 men of all ranks,
under tho command of an inspector
general, Sir Andrew Reed, who is
placed in direct communication with
the executive. The inspector general
is assisted ut headquarters by deputy
inspector general, an assistant inspec-
tor general and u civil service staff. A
county inspector is placed in charge of
each county, except Cork, Galway and
Tipperary, which arc divided into rid
ings. Counties or rulings are divided
into districts varying from thrce to ten,
according to size, each of which is in
charge of district inspector, who is
under command of tho county inspec-
tor. To each district headquarters a
head constable is attached, who, in the
absence of the district inspector, acts
for him, and is the responsible officer.
Belfast is under control of a special
officer styled 1.-The commissioner of DO
lice" who has number of district in
spectors under his command. Other i'm

cial arrangements.

while the saloons acquire n stale, fly
blown and more or less surly mac
tivity.
The Bowcry is most completely dull
just before the awakening of the new
season; for sometimes museum or a
shooting gallery that will hold out al
most until the first of September will
go all to pieces ut the last moment. In
August Bowery patrons and prone
naders are likely to be found at the
west end of Coney island. where they
dance, and vituperate and drink beer in
much the same way in which they do
these things in winter quarters, though
perhaps with an added freedom from
restraint suggested by the presence of
the tumultuous sea and the absence of
the Bowcry policeman.
But just now the Bowery- is waking
up. The wheczy barrel organs of the
museums is sounding rccl1lessly
animated note. The freaks are increas-
ing in number and bracing to the
winter siege. The ossi1ied girl, who
will probably multiply like the females
who have been tattoocd, has in one
instance made way for the human
butterflies" who perform kind of re-
vised version of the Gaicty skirt dance

skirts in Mrs. Eva Mann's theatrical
contract, just below the knee. The fire

naturally can stand more than his con-
temporarics, did not lose heart in the
dizziness of August and carly Septem-
Der, but there is nevertheless dis
tinct contrast in his manner ut this
opening of 4 new season. AS matter
of fact man of little scnsibility might
have felt the ignominy of having Il
stuffed pair-no, a stuffed set-of his
trousers hung before the eyes of u

museum. There is 4 meager allowance
of glass eaters, snake charmcrs and
cannibals this season, and there is a

The din of talk in these places is SO

SALEM
A JAIL DELIVERY.
Five Prisoners Make Good Their
Escape.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
SALEM, Va. Nov. 9. J

Early this morning, before daylight
Taller Hening was aroused by the cook.
who informed him that the prisoners
were escaping from the Jail. Rapidly
dressing, and Selling his revolver, MIR.
Heninp first ascertained that Charles
Watkins and the most desperate GRIM
inals in the dungeon cells were secure,
and then proceeded to investigate.
In the left-hand upper cell he found
large hole in the brick work, just under
meath the window grating, and through
this five prisoners had escaped into the
Jail yard beneath, and SO galneo thear
freedom.
These five were: John MaSsie (white),
to he tried at November term Of court
for stealing a bolt of cloth from the
weolen mills; William Broom field,
(white). also awaiting trial for break
ing in MIR. C. Nininger's house at Clover
dale; the one armed negro, j Ohm Rogers.
recently brought from Roanoke, and
under Indictment for felony and enter
ing the house OF Miss Nettie and j. H.
Byrd on 3Oth ultimo; Sam Adams,
(white), United States prisoner, sem
fenced at Lynchburg to five months i'm
prisonment for Illicit distillery in
Franklin county; and Doc. G. Cook, a
Radford negro, put in jail Thursday
night by the town authorities for violat-
ing sections 10 and 81, town ordinances.
In the cell were also two United
States colored prisoners whose terms of
imprisonment had nearly expired, and
who claimed not to have heard the
others escape.
As far as THE TINES reporter could
ascertain, the prisoners had been max
ing the hole beneath the window for
three or four days past, covering up
their work, whenever they feared dis
coyery, by throwing blanket over the
place. The wall is three bricks thick,
but the mortar was easily picked out
with the piece Of iron bedstead which
they used for the purpose, and they
were clever enough to remove the two
inside layers of bricks in such manner
as to leave the outside layer until this
morning, when, between and 3 a. M,
the last bricks were removed, three
blankets were tied together and fas-
tened inside, and then one by one they
crawled through the hole and let them
selves down to tho ground fifteen feet
beneath. When all were out the
blankets we're pushed back into the cell
with q stick, and they made for the
mountains.
AS soon as Sheriff Zirkle wss notified
he sent kilograms all through the
Southwest and spent the day driving
through the county, but so far with no
results. Commemorative Attorney Bal
lard. of Roanoke county, wrote to Com
monwealth's Attorney b. Smith, OF
Roanoke city. notifying him that if he
did not want the batch OF prisoners
recently sent here to escape he had
better receive them, as the county jail
was overcrowded and insecure. Lawyer
Smith had officers sent to Salem Frioay
night and the four men and one woman
were taken to Lynchburg for safe-keep
ing on the SIT train.
