In my rounds yesterday I witnessed an
amusing incident that occurred to one OF
our knights of the Brush" The painter
in question is a man of sedste disposition,
and were it not for this fact l imagine the
HERALD Office would have an unwelcomed
visitor after he has perused this paragraph.
This particular painter was yesterday en-
ployed in painting a house, and he was
required to work upon a scatfold. Every
thing seemed to work in apple-pie order,
when suddenly there was a crash. Mr..
Painters support gave way and he went to
the bottom, in Dan McGinty style, and
when he was removed from the wreck by
kind friends he was a changed man; in
fact, his own wife, so great was the trans
formation, would not acknowledge him as
her husband. To fall from a scaffold is not
very pleasant, but when a man is covered
from head to foot with paint would disturb
the most sedate temper.

The Scranton Tribune recently gave an
interesting account of the great Maxwell
shaft which is being sunk at Ashley for the
Lehigh and Wilkes-BarIe Company, for
which work John Il. Evans and Owen B
Williams, of town, are the contractors.
The workmen have now reached the rock
after sinking through twenty-six feet OF
quickssnd. The shaft is the largest in the
world, being II feet long and 20 feet wide.
The outside cribbing is now being put into
place, and inside the cribbing is to be built
q solid stone wall 81 feet thick. An outer
cribbing will be built of Georgia pine
timbers, giving a clear space in the shaft 81
divided into six compartments, four Of
which will be fitted with cages for hosting
coal. Two of the cages will reach the
Baltimore vein at a depth of $40 feet and
then will strike the Red Ash vein at a
depth of $40 feet. A compartment of the
shaft, 6x4 feet, will be used as a pump wa.
and the remaining space as an airway,
giving 1853 square feet. The shaft will be
sunk to the foot of the old No. 8 slope,
where tunnels are being driven, a distance
OF 1000 feet to the Ross and red ash veins
Until the present time the work of sinking
has been necessarily slow, owing to the
delicate operation OF sinking through the
quicksand, but now that the rock il
reached the work will go ahead at a rapid
pace. The shaft will be the largest in the
world.

People daily stop and look to.the roof of
the White street school building, expect
ing to see it without the bell tower, or some
other change indicative of a m
ment of work to tear down the structure,
but they look in vain. The building re-
mains intact and will not be disturbed for
some time. 1t is quite likely that the party
who receives the contract for putting up
the proposed new building will also receive
the contract for tearing down the old build
ing and, as the School Board has decided
that all the work shall be done on contracts
based upon proposals duly advertised for
several weeks may elapse before the work
of tearing down the old building
will commence. When operations b,gin
they will be pushed vigorously, as
one of the conditions the School
Board will exact will be that the new
building shall be completed in time for the
opening of schools next fall.
So
The people of the Fourth ward seem de-
lighted over the prospects of having a
school building planted in their midst.
Those who have properties for sale are
particularly we'll pleased, but as the Board
will not need half a dozen or more prop
critics for one building some banning
countensnces are doomed to be eclipsed by
the shadow of disappointment. A demand
for public buildings puts remarkable life
into prices. Isn't it strange that people
will look upon a Borough Council or School
Board as q good-pay, plenty-money cor

Deputy sheriff Collins, who made the arrest
after terrible struggle with the desperate,
left the jail with his prisoner chained TO his
right arm, followed by a crowd Of villagers
anxious to get a look at the famous outlaw.
Perry held handkerchief before his face
during the trip, and the crowd were greatly
disappointed on account Of seeing nothing
more than his eyes and forehead.
When the judges Office was reached the
street was jammed with spectators, and the
deputy and his prisoner experienced great
difficulty in reaching the office. When the
crowd was allowed TO enter the widest con-
fusion reigned, during which the robber ap-
peared very nervous, and after the excite

THE NEW FRENCH CABINET.
NJ. Rouvier Assigned the Task OF Form

NJ. Rouvier Assigned the Task OF Form
ing II by President Carnot.
PANS, Feb. An Rouvier, minister OF
finance under NJ. de Froycinet, has been se-
lected by President Garnet 70 form a cabi.
net, with Rouvier as premier. II N definite.
" stated that NJ. de Freycinet, M. Ribot,
NJ. Constans and Nj. Deveue, each retaining
his respective portfolio, wiil cooperate with
NJ. Rouvier in forming the new cabinet. M.
Loubet and NJ. Burieau wiz, il - believed,
join the cabinet. M. Loubet has acted
with the Left in a modorats way.
M. Rouvier, the new premier, was born in
1912, at AK, and became a lawyer in Mar
seillos, whore he earnestly opposed the EN-
peror Napoleon by articles in the Journals
This prevented any public promotion until
the overthrow Of the empire. After Sedan
NJ. Rouvier was appointed 10 the prefecture
Of Bouches-du-Rhone. In 1872 he was ap
pointed on a commission TO reform the judi
ciary Of Egypt, where be zealously sustained
the interests Of France. In 1876 he was
elected 10 the chamber OF deputies from
MaNeilles, and this was his start IN ma
tional career He took place ON the ex-
treme Left.
His progress in politics was somewhat
threatened in the following May by the al
legation that he had been guilty Of immoral
acts within the precincts Of the Palais Royal
The Monarchists, who looked upon him az q
rising and dangerous adversary, did all they
could TO exaggerate the charges. Rouviel
demanded IA investigation and was &C
quilted, although the judgment Of acquittai
carried with it a certain implication not al
together favorable.
Rouvier was reelected In 1877. In the
debates in the chamber he showed thor
ough and comprehensive grasp Of CONNER
cial and financial questions, and his subse

home in Syracuse. The prisoner seemed
much affected, stepping up 10 him he said;
"Hello, father and kissed him. The
father showed much emotion and the pris-
oner seeing IL said: Don't cry, father, It
viii be all right" He was taken back 20
Jail followed by his father and large
crowd.
That every effort viii be made by Perry's
friends to help him escape is evident. Short
ly after being locked in the corridor the
prisoner held long conversation with his
father The willy deputy sheriff, who is al
ways on the alert, detected the prisoner
pass a scrap Of paper through the iron bars
to his father. After the conversation had
been finished Jerry requested the elder
Perry to steFnnto the Office, and closing the
door informed him that he was compelled
to make him submit TO being searched,
which he Immediately proceeded 20 do, and
was rewarded by finding the scrap of paper,
and on it was correctly drawn an exact
copy Of the key which unlocks the corridor
door.
Perry, Sr., was allowed to leave after be-
ing informed by Deputy Collins that he can
not allow him 10 do further mischief and
that hereafter he win not be allowed TO en-
ter the jail.
May De an Accomplice.
Jerry Collins is Of the opinion that the
prisoner expected TO have a key made by
his father which would fit the lock and after
opening the corridor door TO file the heavy
steel bars which Is on the outside and 90
which is attached a paddock out Of reach
from the inside. During the visit his father
gave him some canned fruit and oranges
They win be examined for the purpose OF
asoertaining whether anything b concealed
inside Of them. A new night watch was put
on duty 70 guard the jail and Sheriff Thorn
ton informed the reporter that Perry will
be chained TO the floor to make certain that
he win commit no further mischief. Persons
connected with the Jail seem to entertain
I the opinion that the man who represents
himself as Perry's father, and who was 20
affectionately kissed by Perry after the
hearing in Police Justice Carter's Office, is
not his father at all, but an accomplice who
is aiding him to escape.
Perry's Ghastly Ornament.
While Perry's alleged father was talking
to him in the jail, Perry seemed very anx-
ious regarding a hand satchel which he had
I left in some place in Syracuse. When
Perry Sr., left the Jail he was followed by
a detective sent by Collins, who traced him
20 Syracuse to the place where the satchel
had been left When he left the house the
detective took il from him and brought 1t
to Lyons. When It was examined, among
the contents was found the ear Of human
being which was preserved in alcohol and
inclosed in a glass bottle, and two bands Of
gold battered from some Of the jewelry
stolen in the express robbery near Utica
last September.
The sheriff showed the ear to Perry and
asked him where he got it. He stated that
he cut It from a colored mans head and IN
, tended to use it as an ornament on his
mantel at home. Still he was very much
excited over the affair, and seems to think
that he is playing in hard luck.
