All the Wires Cut So That No News Could
Get Out.
At the appointed time the carriage ar
rived; Lincoln and Lamon emerged quickly
and entered the car without being noticed
by any except those interested in the mat
ter The signal was given quietly and the
train moved silently away. As soon as the
train had left the station Colonel Thos. A.
Scott had every wire cut, watching the
work done himself This was about in
the evening. Arrangements had been made
to hold the II o'clock train for Washington
at Philadelphia until Lincoln's special
train reached the quaker city, on the ex-
cuse of delivering an important package to
the conductor.
Lincoln's only change of costume
into a soft SLOUGH hat, instead of his
customary tall beaver. When the special
train reached West Philadelphia it was in
advance of the leaving time of the Wash
ington train. Superintendent Kenney met
Lincoln and Lamon with carriage. in
which single detective was waiting They
entered this carriage, and Kenney mounted
upon the box with the driver. The party
was driven around on Broad street, trying
to find somebody, as the driver was told,
until just before the time for the train to
start
Then they entered the Broad street pub
which had been engaged for them in the
sleeper like any other people. The rest of
the journey to Washington was accom-
plished uneventfully. The two travellers
arrived at the capital at in the morning,
and Lamon Immediately sent the telegram
agreed upon to anxious watchers in Har-
risburg. This telegram was brief but
expressive: "Plums delivered nuts safely"
Lincoln always regretted in after life this
hurried and secret night trip. He was
fully convinced, as Colonel Lamon has
stated it, "that he fled from a danger pure
ly imaginary and felt the chame and NOR
LITIGATION natural to a brave man under
such circurcumstances." But whether the
danger was real or imaginary Colonel La
mon will always stand in history as the
one chosen companion of Lincoln in that
historic night ride that at least then seemed
fraught with the greatest peril to the
whole nation.

A jury at Chicago gave a man so5 600 for
the loss of lis right foot under the wheels
of a street car. The plaintiff was thrown
off the car by a sudden jerk.
There were four murders and a suicide
at Chicago.Sunday, and one paper there
says it is because the Worlds fair was
closed.
Twelve editors are in Jail at the City of

OfficiaIs Do a Great Deal of Prevarication
About the Same.
Warden Durston was asked by the re-
porters for the last statement of Carlyle
Harris, said to be addressed to the press.
He replied that when Mrs. Harris sent for
it she could have it. Mrs. Harris sent her
son Allan to the prison to ask for the state
ment. When the young man said that his
mother desired the statement and was very
anxious about it the warden said sharply:
AZ haven't got it. l can't be bothered at
tending to the requests of Mrs. Harris.
I've got this prison to run. Tell your moth
er that as soon as j get the statement l will
send it to her" Mrs. Harris decided to call
on Warden Durston herself and ask for her
sons last written statement. The warden
told her that he had mailed it to Super
inteudent of Prisons Lathrop at Albany.
When Mrs. Harris went to the prison Tor
the statement Warden Durston said he was
not aware of it's contents, and Allen Har-
ris. Carlyle's brother, Immediately replied:
"You read ii Saturday and returned it to
him to change" Asked by Mrs. Harris:
add you not promise my son that you
would give it to the press?" Durston in
timaued that he had had enough talk, and
that he had sent the statement to Superin
tendent Lathrop. 1t is believed to be set
tied that the statement will never see the
light.
