O'BRIRN GETS AWAY
The King of BuncOers Makes
 His Escape A

He Allowed O'Brisn to Remain at a Hotel,

Buck Left the BuncO Man. and a PolitI.
 elan Alone in a Room and When He Re-
 turned Both Were GOne-ThOught that
 New York Thieves Aided O'BrIen fin
 His FIight-Hs IS Probably in Canada
 By This Time.
 UTICA, N. Y., April g. - Thomas OBrien of Albany, who buncoed John M. Peck of Albany out of $10, 900 and was sentenced to Clinton Prison for 10 years, escaped from Keeper Buck, of the prison here, yesterday.
 OBrien was taken before Judge Cone in the United States Court here a few days ago on 8 writ of habeas corpus, and argument was heard on the legality of his extradition from England, where he was arrested. The application for his discharge was denied and the prisoner ordered taken back to prison.
 About a. m. Buck left O'Brien in g room in Bagg's Hotel. When he re- turned few minutes later O'Brien had escaped. No trace of him could be found. Keeper Buck did not report O'Brien's escape until late last night.
 A large number of thieves from New York have been in this city the past few days, and it is thought they aided the bunco sGeerer.
 O'Brien was last seen about the hotel shortly before noon. His beard had been removed. It is presumed he took the noon train East.
 Keeper Buck says that he left O'Brien and David Dishler, well-known Utica politician, in 8 room in the hotel early the morning and when he returned both were gone. Buck is confident that the two are on a spree and will show up soon.
 "Doc" Minchon, who has been with O'Brien here, returned to New York, and this strengthens the belief that the prisoner has gone.
 Buck treats the matter very indiffer- ently. During his stay here he has been ''doing" the town. He had an order from Warden Walter N. Thayer, of Dan nemora prison, to give O'Brien all the liberty possible and he allowed O'Brien to go about the city alone.
 In all probability O'Brien is now safe ly over the Canadian line.

Chinese Question Debated in the Senate
 House DOInEs.
 WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Chinese question proved as irrepressible as the silver question in the Senate yesterday, notwithstanding the opinon of the For eign rlations Committee that existing laws remain in force till 1894 A gen eral Chinese debate was characterized by vigorous onslaught upon the Geary House bill by MT. Sherman, and re- mains the unfinished business for to- day.
 An intellectual attempt was made to arrive at an agreement to take Q vote on the question at 5 o'clock to-day. Some rather pointed reference was made in the debate to Senators who now danounce violation of the treaty stipulations, but who did not themselves oppose the Scott Exclusion law of 1888.
 The RockwOll-Noyes contested election ease occupied the entire time of the House, the debate being exceedingly dry, and but little attention was paid to it The majority of the members oc- cupi0d their time in chatting and smok- ing in the foyer and cloak rooms.

A Strange Suicide.

HoRNELLsv1LLE, N. Y., April 22.-The suicide of Dr. Theodore 0. Green of this city at the home of his father in South Dansville Wednesday is probably one oi the most unaccoUntable cases of self destruction on record. Dr. Green was enjoying large practice and no reason can be assigned for his act, unless 1t is insanity. He was 8 graduate, of the Buffalo Medical College and was local surgeon of the Erie Railroad. He left the city on Monday last for rest and recreation. He was apparently in good health but complained of nervousness

4 Talk With The Boys.

We were talking to good, kind old mother a few days ago and she was complaining bitterly about how badly her sons were treating her in her old days. They were stingy with her and generous with others. They seem to rejoice in making her life burdensome and yet she always worked hard la'e and early for them. This was going on for years. She is a good Christian mother and she can't understand why this condition of things should exist. Now this complaint is as common rsas it is cruel. These poor old mothers have to live and suffer and there is no court of appeal. Well, We can tell all these boys that they are branded. They are work ing their own destructi m. Their chal acter is written on their faces. You can tell them wherever you see them. The man who is looking around for reliable men will not hire them Every man who hires help is constantly watching for reliable men. Think also hat the train of death is coming and you are only waiting here at the sta, tiou It may not be the next, but it is coming and no matter how humble your station in life is you will have a private BOX all to yourself when you fall into the hands of the peoples undertaken. Our furniture stock is complete in every de partment and our prices are lower than ever.

1u Behalf of Prince OrIchao,.

DETROIT, Mich, April 22-The Circuit Court was yesterday applied to for a writ of habeas corpus directing the po- lice to release May Webster, one of the detained witnesses in the trial of Prince Michael. The defence is working hard to get the girl out, and if their efforts are successful, the bottom is likely to fall out of some of the cases. In tho meantime, citizens of the sections where the Flying Rollites live are growing tired of them, and will hold a meeting to- morrow night to take steps toward get ting rid of them.

Wtnal Adjournment Yesterday Special
 sessiOn Called for Monday Night.
 ALBANY, N. Y., April 22.-The closing hours of the session of the Legislature opened promptly and brightly in the Assembly at g o'clock, but in the Senate the desk was clear and only waiting for bills to pass. ...
 The first business was the reception of messages from the Senate, and several efforts were made to advance bills by unanimous consent, but scarcely any thing was done in that way owing to the storm of objections which arose. The calendar was then taken up.
 The Comptroller sent over the bill fixing the annual tax rate. It is 1.98 mills.
 This is the lowest rate since 1856r with the exception of last year, when it was 1.37.
 The amount called for by the Supply bill as signed by the Governor is $1, ,645,- 744. The amount vetoed, which was to have been raised by tax, was $312, 225s not to be raised by tax, 1l5. 900; total vetoed, $427, ,225.
 The report of the Secretary of State of the work of the enumeration was sub mitted.
 The totals of population for all the counties of the State foot up to 6,4S3,- 6S2 Of this total 5, 763, ,027 are citizens and 72O, 605 are aliens.
 The total official population accredited to New York County is 1,601, ,739 Of this total ], 423, 984 are citizens, while 877, 755 are aliens.
 The total population of Kings County Is fixed at 066, TAG, of which S44, ,237 are citizens and 124, 509 are aliens.
 Queens County looms up with popu- lation of Al, S05, of which 123, ,974 are citizens and IF, 831 are aliens. . Westchester County has 8 total popu- lation of 145, 106, with 129, ,224 citizens and It, SS2 aliens.
 Richmond County has 53, ,452, of which 46, 592 claim citizenship and 6,S60 are recognized as aliens.
 At four minutes before 12 the Cover nor's proclamation was read reconven- ing the Legislature on Monday night at S:S0.
 Then came the usual votes of thanks to the Speaker and Clerk, and several presentations, after which the Assembly adjourned sine die.
 It was 10:15 o'clock when the Senate was called to order and prayer delivered by Rev. MT. Martin.
 After the committee appointed to wait upon the Governor and Assembly had returned MT. Cantor moved that the em- ployes of the Senate be retained for the extra session-adopted.
 MT. Sheshan then addressed the Sen ate, the members standing. He spoke of the vast amount of work done during the short session and closed by congratu- lating the members.
 There was loud applause, and the Sem ate adjourned sine die.

You can easily get stuck without going near anything in the shape of mud' and you can avoid being stuck. To be stuck in a purchase is to be victimized. To be stuck on-well that's slang, and will let you guess the rest Pardon the slang long enough for us to tell you that you'll be stuck on and not by our rightly made cloth ing. By rightly made we mean right in every respect, color as we'll as style, quality and fit. To have the color reliable is quite important this season, while the market is full of light colors and many of them will fade badly when worn. Study economy by wear ing our reliable clothing.
