THROUGH A SLIMY DRAIN.
Convicts Took Desperate Chances In
Making Their Escape.

Making Their Escape.
BosToN, July 1.-The underground rail-
way is no new road to freedom, but It
turns out that it was through the sink
drain of the Charlestown section that the
escaping state prison birds made their
way on Friday afternoon, instead of
through the main line.
1t was Mt first supposed that the men
went down through the slophole which
leads to the prison sewer but this supposi-
tion turns out to be only partially correct,
for the prisoners tunneled under a little
clubhouse some fifteen feet away from the
manhole, where they found drain lead
ing into the manhole Through this drain
they squeezed until they reached the man.
hole; thence by cutting the iron bars, they
crawled through this auxiliary sewer to
its junction with the main sewer about
fifty feet outside the prison wall.
The horrible nature of this journey is
not yet fully realized. The old sink drain
which they discovered was only about
20xl2 inches. and the prison sewer, 20 feet
ut least of which they had TO pass through
before reaching the main sewer, was found
by actual measurement to be but l9xl2
inches.
To reach the outer world, therefore,
cels through about 100 feet Of Shiny drain
or sewer, crawling the entire length on
their stomnchs, or else wriggllng along on
their backs. To have even gone through
on their hands and knees would have been
an impossibility.
In order to understand the situation
fully. little description Of the yard is
necessary. The slophole or manhole In
the yard Is about twenty feet from the
south prison wall, and about fifteen feet
to the left OF IL stands little outhouse
containing n coll OF pipe, into which the
men at work at the slophole were accus-
toned To 20 when they became cold, in or
der TO warm mp little.
In olden days there were two drains In
that section OF the prison yard. One drain
ran from the city sewer. at point about
hf'v feet outside the prison wall. mn
through the prison yari to the Kitchen
This was the drain or sewer into which
the slops are deposited. The other sewer
ran from the chain shop In the yard into
the FIRST drain at the slophoie. but this
drain has not been used for some time.
This drain or sewer had connections at
the little outhouse, and II was through
this that the men probably went

mer resorts arc Fox Lake. ILL.,, Lake
Villa, H.. Waukesha. Mukwonago.
Cedar Lake, Neenah, Waupaca. Fltield,

lakes abound in numerous species Of
fish, such as black bass, rock bass, pick
erei, pike, perch, muskallonge, while
sportsmen will find an abundance Of
game, such as ducke. geese, quail,
snipe. etc. In the grandeur of her
scenery, the charming beauty of her
rustic landscapes and the rare perfec-
ton of her summer climate. the state
of Wisconsin is acknowledged to be
without peer in the union. Her fame
as a refreshing retreat for the over

ton, and for this reason much interest
attaches to the pretty girls who have OF
late become the wives of young Chicago
millionaires.
Mrs. Taylor, wife Of Hobart G. Tay-
Tor. ''diyinely tall and most divinely
fair" is twenty-five years Of age. She
has . sensitive complexion, light brown
hair and warm, kindling. gray eyes.
Her brow is broad and open, her nose
slightly retrousse, with firm lower face,
made tender and sweetened by ; most
pleasing mouth. When seen in profile
Mrs. Taylor's head shows straight, strong,
almost boxlike lines. She is quick,
sudden. impulsive in movement rather
than graceful. and her attitudes indi-
cate earnestness, originality and purpose
rather than repose. In manner she is
natural, cordial, full of beautiful gra-
ciousness and discerning affsbility.
Mrs. Taylor is tho youngest daughter
Of ex-senator and Mrs. G. B. Farwell.
Her wedding was one Of great brilliancy,
and to it were hidden 1000 guests, Un-
der juno sky at Lake Forest, the coun-
try seat of the Farwells, the marriage
was celebrated. This lovely spot is well
christened. the united words ''lalke" and
forest" being descriptive Of its charms,
the former grand old Lake Michigan
and the forest an almost primeval one.
The special train that bore the expect
ant groom and guests from Chicago was
gsyly garlanded. The newspapers OF
even date held columns descriptive Of
the floral decorations. Into the lovers
knot alone, above the chancel. were
woven 1000 rosebuds. The bride, noble
and peerless in her snowy satin robe,
was served by seven maids wearing the

seven rainbow hues. Il was day Of
perfect weather and q marriage which
called only for congratulations. These
were received on the velvet turfod lawn
under canopy Of green, above which
white doves lowered.
Singular as it may seem, it Is true
that the sun in gathering the mists from
OF the lake made visible q bright rain
bow, which seemed indeed reflected in
the gay booth holding the bridal party;
the variegated toilets of the maids stand
ing in semicircle limited Of the curving
bow seen by old Noah after his journey
in the great ark had safely terminated.
As all the rays Of the spectrum are
known to be present and reflected In
pure white, it seemed as though line Of
light passing through the snowy lovli-
ness OF the bride had let fall upon each
maiden prismatic color.
Directly following the marriage Mr..
Taylor took his wife abroad. where nm
til recently they have loitered, spending
the major part Of their stay in London.
They have recently opened their hand
some Prairie avenue house. There they
dispense an almost prodigal hospitality.
Both are genuinely admired, and both
are devotedly happy in mutual affcc-
ton.
One solid square on Michigan avenue
will hold two palafial mansions built
for the sons of Mr.. Philip d. Armour.
One already stands completed and will be
occupied the approaching autumn. The
two young wives who will preside over
these superb houses are singularly do
mestic for women so attractive and
youthful.
