TWO SMART MEN.
Prisoners in Schuyll<ii1 County Jail Es-
cape Without Trouble.

cape Without Trouble.
Edward and David Kelley, prisoners
in the Schuylkili county prison at Potts
vile, broke Jail some time between mid
night and Monday morning and made
their escape undetected. The first nam
ed was committed on March 10 or
the charge of assault and battery and
intent to kill the watchman at the Pale
Alto roundhouse. He was tried, con.
victed and sentenced ON June 26 to two
years. He is 27 years of age, feet 6
inches tall, forid complexioned, with
black curly hair.
Dayid Kelley is 20 years of age, and
very dark complexioned. He was ar
rested at Orwigsburg, where he with a
chum named William Dun attempted to
rob the station. He was placed in Jail
on May Is, 1892, and was tried in June
following, convicted and sentenced to
eighteen months. He had about three
months to serve.
The prisoners escaped from their cell
through the skylight in the roof by
means of piece of rope, hook and
ladder. The hook was made from an
iron rod which they took from their iron
bedstead. The other materials they
managed to purloin from the prison
stock room. In order to make their
escape from the cell to the corridor they
got one of the hooks with which the
door is fastened and sawed it nearly in
two. When they went to attend services
in the corridor on Sunday one of them
picked off the good hook and slipped the
cut one on in its stead.
The cut was made with an eye to the
scientific, for when the hook was pro-
perly put in the hole the purchase would
be at the curve of the hook, and just far
enough away from the cut. The keeper
might pull on the door after putting the
hook in and it would not give. Move it
but the least and it would snap off.
When they were ready to make their
escape from the cell they worked the
hook little, SO as to get it beyond the
curve, pressed on the door and the hook
parted. Itwas very easy matter then
to walk into the corridor. They tore
off the wash. h.board on their cells and by its
means got on the roof through the sky
light. They then slid down the spout
ing and made good their escape. Sew
eral prisoners escaped from the Jail in
about the same manner three years ago.

NEW ROAD LAW.
Sketch of Bill That Will Give Super
VisOrs an Easy Life.

The provisions of the new road law
which the last legislature passed, to GO
into effect next year, do not differ very
materially from the law now in force.
A supervisor is to be elected by the
people, and it will be his duty to see
that the public highways are kept in
shape. The law futher provides that
the taxpayers can make their own roads
if they want to, and thus prevent the
levy of a tax for that purpose.
To acquire this they must, before the
beginning of the fiscal year, present to
the court of quarter sessions petition
setting forth their desire TO do so. The
petitioner or petitioners shall file bond
equal to $500 to each mile of road, with
sureties, conditioned for the faithful
performance of their duties, which bond
shall also indemnify the township for
any damage by reason of any act or
omission of the petitioner whereby any
claim may be set up against the town
ship.
The supervisors are required to view
and inspect the roads at least once every
month, and if any portion of road needs
repairs he shall notify the petitioners to
repair the same and upon the failure to
do so within five days the supervisor is
empowered to purchase the material and
employ the men necessary to make the
repairs and charge the cost to the petit
TONERS.
The supervisor for his services shall
receive from the petitioners $3.50 per
year. The clerk $50, each of the audi
tors $25, the township attorney selected
by the supervisor $50 per year for their
services.
