Turnkey BogKs and Escape Caught
After Long Chase
Special Correspondence EVENING JoURNAI..
DOVER, May 9.-On Saturday evening
about 9 o'clock the town was excited
over the alarm that two prisoners had
escaped jail and quickly a crowd gath
cred around the prison. Turnkey Boggs
had jus entered the jail for the purprse
Of locking the prisoners up for the
night II Is his habit, after entering the
door to .reach his kend through the bars
aud lock the door from the outside.
At the eDtranc Of the door is a sort Of
cage which extends short distance In
the prison. A door Is attached to this,
by which access 10 the main corridor is
reached.
10 was back Of this cage that two
negroes. namely, Shockley and Hufing-
ton, were concealed As Boggs entered
the Jail and had reached his hand through
10 lock the door, he was struck on
the back OF the bead and In his effort TO
free himself. got his hand caught In
the bars. At this misfortune the
negroes took advantage and, slamming
back the door with Boggs behind 1t,
escaped.
The sheriff's wife being attracted AT the
soullie, hurried out the corridor and just
In time TO see the prisoners leaving
the jail. In be. fright she was under
the impression that all the prisoners
had got away. Deputy Sheriff Enoch
Clark, who had been out riding, arrived
In town, and seeing a crowd at the jail
hurried to the scene. He was notified
Of what had happened. and he In com.
pany with Sheriff Cole got in carriage,
armed with revolvers and went in
search of the fugitives.
The negroes object was. undoubtedly,
TO gain a thick woods about a mile be-
low here, known as Punchlou Run. The
officers were told by some who had
seen them that they were on their way
seemingly TO Camden.
Accordingly, the officers drove In that
dire ction, and, when they reached Hayes's
ALL, they saw the two prisoners making
their way across a farm for the woods
The officers quickly drove through the
helda where they we're and came upon
them, ordering them TO surrender. and
under cover Of revolvers they were
brought back by the officers and safely
lodged in their cells.
They we're not out Of the Jail much
over twenty minutes.
The negro, Sbocklev, Is notorious
character, and was put in Jail last fall
for assaulting the town officers and is
serving ten years sentence. rhe other
negro, Huntingdon, is In for petit Of
fense.
This excitement had not subsidized when
a crowd gathered on the corner opposite
the BayArd House, attracted bv a
fight between two negroes, Lewis Pus-
nell and Harry CULLEN Quillen seemed
TO get the worst Of the fght, as his head
was badly cut. as was also his mouth
both Of which were bleeding freely
Quitten Iwent before Magistrate Jester
aud swore out a.wssrant for Purnell, he
was arralgned before the justice and he
and Quillen we're both fined $4.90.

A PARALLEL CASE.

desire, gentlemen, to attract your
attention TO the nature Of the case that
has been actually on trial here.
These were the words used with fine
satire by Judge Fitzgerald in opening
his charge to the jury that tried and
convicted Hattie Adams in New York
for keeping house Of Ill fame.
They were prompted by the efforts OF
two distinguished lawyers to defame the
principal witness. The princioal was DR..
Parkhurst They were intended, they
we're necessary, indeed, so the judge
considered, to remind the jury that
Hattie Adams was on trial, not DR.
Paskhurst
The indictment was for keeping a
house Of ill-fame. not for being an i'm
portant witness, whose testimony could
not be impeached, but whose character
must be impeached, in order TO save the
criminal
Custom allows lawyers a wide latitude
in their efforts TO impeach the credibillty
Of witnesses, but impartial and respectable
Judges and the better class Of newspapers
condemn the practice, while the people
actually resent 1t. In this case the
license was carried beyond all limits Of
decency into vilihcation; something
that should be reprimsnded, II not re-
pressed. by the presiding judge. II that
has not been done the judge should set
the minds Of the jurymen, II they have
any. on the right track again and remind
them OF their oaths aud their duties
However one may differ from DR. Park.
hurst as to his methods, no one can
question his courage or his character
his ability or his motives.
We make these remarks to draw q
parallel with what took place here when
the Morning News and several Republi
can lawyers attempted to hold the Car
penters up to rldlcule and actually sue
ceeded in having them substituted by al
oath bound, but callow jury, for lot o.
men who were guilty Of melting a negro
riot at the Fifth ward polls. Th

THR EVENING JOURNAL is not a
prophet nor the son OF prophet, but
there were only two dry Sundays in
New York. The EVENING JOURNAL does
not rejoice It laments this, but there is
no use to attempt an impossibility and
the EVENING JOURNAL did not hesitate
to say 50. The police is not the proper
engine to drive the car of reform for the
suppression Of vice. Vice, like sin, can
be- ped out, II at all, during
the millennium which is not even i'm
pending yet. Vice, like sin, can be
dealt with only by the slow process OF
showing mankind the sweeter, better,
purer ways OF righteousness; It cannot
be cured by the frail and feeble, some
times besmirched members Of the police
force and by laws with which the people
are not In sympathy, The efforts to sup
press vice In that way, by those means,
have always been lamentable aud
burtful failures. They will be till
the dawn OF the millennium. What shall
we do thenY Do what we can; not attempt
TO do what we cannot Do what the
cburcnes do. Show men something bet
ter; provide schools, libraries, churches
music, flowers. pictures, hooks. papers,
games, and influence them to do and be
what laws and police cannot drive them
to. He. who has not learned that piece
Of philosophy, has not read the history
OF mankind for any century, for any de-
cade. Of any civilized nation.

THIS Democratic Congress has passed
a bill to encourage ship building-not a
bill to bribe ship-builders. The bill is
conceived on the idea Of removing the
restrictive laws which have been in force
for a quarter OF century and which
have destroyed our carrying trade. 1t is
conceived on the Antithesis Of the policy
which has reduced this nation from
second place among the maritime nations
Of the world to no place. Now we have
nothing to carry and no ships to carry IL
in. Thirty years of trial of that policy Is
sufficient. What this country needs
what the ship-buildsrs need Is a com
plete reversal OF that policy.
