TRAMPLED ON THE JAILER
But He Drove the Toughs Back at the
Point of His Revolver

Omaha, Neb., January 19.-Jailor SIG.
Ernest was passing along the corridor of
the first floor of the county Jail last eve
ming when he heard the noise Of
scuf1e on the second floor. On running
up he found two desperate characters
named De France and Christensen
fighting Without moments hesitation
he sprang into where the desperate men
were. Selling De France, the jallor
pulled him into the corridor, but was
followed by Christiansen and was at
tackled by both men, A desperate strug
gle commenced, when suddenly Chris
tiansen sprang back and pulled the lever
that unlocked every cell on the floor.
Nineteen criminals burst forth and drove
the jailor into the cell. Here they
stamped on him, but he tore through the
mob and rushed down the corridor to
the office. The prisoners followed him
in wild dash for liberty, but just as
the mob, headed by De France, reached
the threshold, Ernest grasped a revolver
and billy and flashed them in the
leaders, face. The mob surged UP to the
doorway in a frantic attempt TO kill the
jailor, but his nerve and revolver cowed
the toughs, and they slowly and sullenly
went back to their cells, driven by
Ernest. 1t was the most desperate at
tempt at escape ever made In t!e Jail.
The prisoners maxi = tHe attempt
were all men sentenced to the peniteu-
tiary or awaiting trial in default of large
bail. De France, the leader, is sentenced
for life and Christensen bias Il long term
for burglary. Ernest is severely bruised
and has internal injuries, the result of
being trampfed upon, which may prove
fatal

STEVENS WAS RIGHT,
Form of Government.


Form of Government.
New London Conn, January ia
letter received here from w. J. Lowrey
of Hazardville, Conn, now in Honolulu,
says the feeling there is one of satisfac-
ton that the whole Hawaiian question
has been left to Congress. The writer
says President Cleveland has been mis-
led by Blount. The latter got his in
formation from royalists. Mr. Lowrey
adds that nothing but the demands of
Congress can reinstate the ex-queen. The
letter says the statements of Hon. John
L. Stevens and Mr.. Thurston are liter
ally correct. The natives do not care "a
snap about the ex-queen or the form of
government The whole trouble was
brought about. the writer believes,
by Liliuokalani getting about her bad
lot of advisers. He says the opposition
to good government comes from whites
and half whites who expect to get offices
when the queen is restored. The writer
believes in annexation.

alton with Tem0 O'Brien as manager,
captain and first base. O'Brien is good
hitter and holder of the country's record

Jack Corbett, Second, and Mutton, short.
Dan Burke may be behind the bat.
Charles Fitzgerald. right fielder, is a big
fellow from Stoneham. Shattuck may
act as fielder and change catcher.

CASTLES IN SPAIN.
Possible Refuge of the Pope should Italy
Become Too Restless.

London, January 19.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Central News says:
The newspapers here comment on the re-
ports that the Pope possibly will take re-
fuge in Spain in case the situation in
Italy should grow worse. Should he
come. the palaces in Seville and Valencia
would be placed at his disposal. The
conservative politician, Senior Pidal,
made several long calls at the Vatican
last week and is supposed to have dealt
with the question. Senor Pidal is ex-
pected to arrive in Madrid on tomorrow.
The Moniteur de Rome. which, after
being suspended for some time in conse-
quence of pu blishiug articles offensive to
the government was recently acquitted
of all blame and allowed to resume pub
lication, is again in trouble. Today's
issue of the paper has been sequestered
for publishing three articles on the gov
ern ment programme and on the sifua-
tion in Sicily that did not meet with
the appreciation of the government.

william Getchelrs Mysterious Death

Augusta, January 19.-There is little
question but what the authorities still
strongly suspect that William Getchell
of Sidney was poisoned. It has now
been nearly three weeks since the con-
tents of his stomach were sent to Pro-
fessor Robinson at Brunswick for analy-
sis. and the conduct of the officers here
indicates that they have heard some
thing which they do not care to divulge.
The latest development is that last Tues
day, Sheriff Norton, accompanied by a
stenographer. quietly slipped up to Sid
ney and took affidavits concerning
Getchelrs death,

London. January 19.-The war Office
received despatch from Freetown, Sier-
ra Leone, today, giving dispatches sent
by Colonel A. B. Ellis, commanding the
British forces operating against the So
fas in the interior of Sierra Leone. Col
onel Ellis's dispatches aye dated Tungea
January9. 9. He says he started from
Warina December 26th. On December
2S, Konnos informed the British that the
main body of Sofas crossed the river De-
cember Is. They destroyed Yardu,
though the people of that place had
hitherto been on friendly terms with
them. The Sofas then proceeded to
Kerrayemna for the purpose of joining
Others of the tribe. The column reached
Kerrayemna December 81. The place
was found a perfect charnel house. The
Sofas had slaughtered the inhabitants,
men, women and children. and then left.
At a. m., January 2, the British came
up with the Sofas at Bagwenia, and sud-
denly fell upon them. The enemy was
taken completely by surprise. The place
had been strongly blockaded, but the
British carried the position in quarter
of an hour. Two hundred Sofas were
killed and n taken prisoners. Over 400
slaves, women and children, were res
cued, and the horde of Sofa slave traders
completely dispersed. The only casual
ties sustained by the British were the se-
we're wounding of Lieutenant Gwynn and
one private.

THE GUT DIRECT.
Hawaiian Representative Not Asked to
Dine With the President.

Washington. January 19.-Gossip in
diplomatic circles was busy today over
an incident of the state dinner at the
White House last night. In the published
list of invited guests, as printed in the
newspapers, was the name of Secretary
Hastings, who, in the absence of Min
lister Thurston, is charge d'affairs of the
Hawaiian legation, but Mr.. Hastings was
not among the guests present at the din
ner, and it is learned that he received no
invitation. This excites comment, be-
cause both the secretaries of legation of
Corea and Colomb bia, who in the absence
of their respective ministers are like Mr..
Hsstings, charges d'affairs, were .con-
spicuous among the list of guest which,
in fact, included the head of every lega-
tion now in Washington, except the
Hawaiian.
