the sidewalk in front Of the Tcmbs to be
in readiness when the keeper opened the
big iron gate to admit friends Of the pris-
onsrs. When 10 O'Clock came the gate
swung open and the throng passed in.
Among them was young woman who
had become familiar to the keepers BY
reason Of her many calls to see Sharkey.
Her beautifully pathetic face seems to
have excited sympathy in the hearts Of
the keepers, who arc generally supposed
to be steeled against such emotions, for
they neglected 70 search her as carefully
a. they should have done. She received
her entrance ticket and passed into the
corridor and to cell No. 40.
This woman was the famous Maggie
Jourdaa. She carried on her person on
this occasion two sets of raiment. One
Of these were quickly transferred and
donned by Sharkey. He then took key
which Maggie handed him, unlocked the
cell door, passed into the corridor and out
of the prison, Maggie having previously
made her exit. Sharkey's disguise con-
sisted Of dark wooden dress, black cloak
and Alpine hat, thick green veil, which
he kept close to his face. Of cour,e,
there must have been an admittance ticket
short, and this fact was developed half
hour after Sharkey had made his exit. At
that time Mrs. Yves Allen, who had been
visiting prisoner, attempted to pass the
keeper.
"Your ticket, please" said Keeper
Kennedy.
The woman stopped, put her hand In
her pocket and, after fumb!ing about her
clothing, exclaimed:
"Why, must have lost it. I'm sure l
put it in my pocket"
Keeper Kennedy, however, was not
moved by this statement. Mrs. Allen
was detained, the cells were immed-
lately searched and then it was dis
covered that Sharkey's cell was empty.
The door was open and the late prisoner s
clothing lay on the floor. On little
shelf we're found some locks of hair, which
were supposed to be Sharkey's mustache,
which had been shaved off to complete
his disguise. The key which unlocked
the cell was made from a wax impression
obtained by Maggie on previous visit.
Mrs. Yves Allen was arrested for compile
ity in the escape of Sharkey, but no
actual proof could be found against her,
and she was discharged. Maggie Jourdau
was arrested and tried, but the jury failed
to agree in her case, so that no one was
punished for this escape from the Tombs,
which was certainly one of the boldest
and at the same time one OF the most
adroit on record. Sharkey was not re-
captured. It is supposed that be remained
in New York for three or four weeks and
then went on board schooner bound for
Baracoa, Cuba. From Baracoa he went
to Havana, where two years later he was
Joined by Maggie Jourdan, whose love
for the outlaw seems to have remained
undimmed through the months of separa-
ton. Her devotion, however, was poorly
requitted, for Sharkey abused her, and
after time she returned to New York.

The Tax Bills.

The special committee on taxation has
pretty well cleared up it's dockets. 1t
has now upon it only the savings bank
bill the bill to tax vessel property on
the net income and the measures relating
to loan and building associations. The
committee will vote on the savings bank
bill Tuesday evening, and the vote will
result in two reports. The committee
may be evenly divided or it may stand
six to four for or against the bill. AS to
the taxation OF vessel property, it is I'M
derstood that the committee, with the
exception of one member, do not favor
the plan of taxing the net income, taking
the position that if this principle be an
piled to vessels that class of property
would be favored at the expense of 9th
ers. The loan and building associations
bills are likely to be reported.
Several of the measures reported BY
the committee have become laws. The
state will now impose tax upon collat-
eral inheritances. The railroad tax has
been so increaeed as to provide an addi-
tional revenue estimated at $40, GOO an
nually. The bill increasing the fees for
the enrolment of corporations organized
under special charters from the legisla-
ture has also become law. Another
bill which has received the Governors
signature provides for the meeting of To-
cal assessors in county convention with
the state board.
Of the bills reported from the taxa
ton committee and now pending before
the legislature, members of the commit
tee express themselves as confident that
the listing bill will pass without much
opposition. The bill to impose an an
nual franchise tax of $25 upon foreign
corporations organized under Maine
laws is dead. The bill to tax trust and
banking companies, which the Senate
amended by discarding altogether for
Mr.. Holman's substitute, is very likely
to be defeated. The House has already
rejected the substitute, and may do the
same thing with the original bill. The
bill increasing the taxation of telegraph,
telephone and express companies is on
the Senate table, and will probably meet
opposition. Another bill awaiting ac-
ton in the Senate is that relating to the
taxation of corporations having the
right of eminent domain.

The Parrot Liked to Cough.
Whooping cough has been uncomfort
ably intrusive in this city. In one family
up town three children were afflicted
with that ailment at the same time. They
coughed and coughed and coughed. and
the family pet, an intelligent parrot, took
it into his head to initiate them. When
ever any one of the children coughed, he
would accompany it with coughing
paroxysm 80 natural that it was impos
able to tell whether it was one of tho
children or the parrot that was cough

the wl1ooping cough, and after awhile
he clamored for medicine whenever he
saw that it was being administered to
the children.-New York Times.

WON BOTH GAMES
TIE PRESS CLUB BOWLING TEAM DEFEATED
TWICE YESTERDAY
In the Interesting Confess at Ssibsr'S-Very Poor
Aggregate S~cOrss-Standing of the Clubs in
the Championship Racs

The Press Club and IntelIigencer
teams met for the first time, in the
Wheeling Bowling League series OF
championship contests, at Seibert's
yesterday. A good sized crowd went
out on the two o'clock motor and spent
the afternoon at that popular resort.
The Press Club team was short one
man and the "blind" was rolled in ro-
tation, as provided in the rules govern
ing the games.
DR.. Walker Frissell was chosen as
umpire, and Charley Seibert and Harry
Travis as scorers. The Intelligencer
won both contests. The aggregate
scores were very poor, and both teams
will have to do better work, or they
will hustle each other for tail end
honors. The Press Club team
played In remarkably bad luck,
and the only wonder is that
the score was so close. The rules per-
tanning to foul balls was enforced, the
Press club losing several good calls,
which cut down the score. Both games
were close enough to be exciting, and
there was not a little interest mani
tested among the spectators as well as
the players. Mr.. Joseph Rhees carried
of the Individual honors, making the
highest score, and highest average,
with Ankle and Colmer next. Follow
ing is the full score of the game:
