EzETA UNDER ARREST.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Aug, "a. 1884,
The fugitive San Salyadoren General Ezeta,
and his companions, who We're arrested yes
terdav on the United States steamship Ben
ningtSu by United States Marshals, passed
the night in the MarshaPs office. To re-
porter Ezeta said that between the 10Th of
April and May 3, three battles were fought
near Santa Ana, in which his forces were
defeated.
Ezeta was wounded in the head on May
3 and was concealed in house. Two weeks
later with 800 of his followers, he made his
way to the seacoast There he found the
bennington and asked for refuge until the
steamer San Boules, on her way north, ar
rived four days later. When the San
Boules arrived the refugees were not allow
ed to board her. but were kept against their
wills on the Bennington
Ezeta explains the charge of murder
against him by saying that he did not kill
tne man, but that the teanster who tried to
intercept him was shot by one OF his men. an
American. Lieutenant Coffin corroborates
the story as regards the bank robbery. Ezeta
says he took the money from the bank. and
gave his receipt for it as President of the
Republic, and used it in the pay of his
soldiers.
This, he claims, he had right to do under
the laws of the country. General Busta
mento, who is accused of hanging four men,
states he hung them, but said the men were
deserters from the army. In fact, all the
offences charged against the refugees are ex-
planned by them as committed while at
tempting to fulfill the laws of the country

SAWED THEIR WAY OUT.
Three Prisoners Clever Escape from
the Utica Jail.

UTICA, NY, Aug. "a, 1S94.-The first
person up in the residence part ofthe
Utica jail this morning was the house
keeper When she opened the outer door
leading to the jail yard she saw one of
tn brass padlocks used in fastening the
iron cages in the Jail lying on the steps.
She looked into the corridor and discov
cred that an iron bar had been sawed
from the large cage covering the corrf-
dor door. Then she notified the jailer.
Upon making an examination, he dis
covered that three of his most import
ant prisoners were missing, and that
others had been offered the chance to
are Joseph Curtis who stole a bicycle
in this city on July Is, and was traced
to Scranton. where he was arrested;
Edward Mcmahon, arrested for burglary
of store in this city in June, and
Francis H. Clark. arrested for the bur-
glary of jewelry store in Deansville on
August 81. Curtis was the leader.
1t appears that in one end of the main
corridor there is sink in which the
prisoners wash. Above it and reaching
to the roof is a ventilating flume to car
ry away foul air. Last night before be-
ing locked in his cell Curtis forced his
body into this ventilator by standing on
the sink. On his cot he had arranged
one of. the cleverest dummies ever con-
structed, and when the jailer closed his
cell door and locked it he supposed Cur
tis was on his cot.
Curtis must have been provided with
the saws used when he entered the JAIL
and he must have had number of
them. Four were found on table in
the corridor this morning.
When the jailer had retired it was an
easy matter for Curtis to Iberate his
companions, and then they sawed one
of the bars from the cage and squeezed
through a space eight inches wide.

BLACK BRUTE IN CAMDEN.
Special to the Jersey Citv Ncacs.


CAMDEN, Aug. "a, 1894 Another felonious
assault by a brutal negro upon a white
woman occurred this morning Mrs. Torrey,
wife of Mr.. Torrey, deceased, late cashier of
the Philadelphia National Bank, was aroused
at five o'clock this morning, and found a
black man lying on the bed beside her and
her mother, with whom she was sleeping.
The brute attempted to assault Mrs. Torrey,
who, with her mother, fought him off until
her son, in an adjoining room, came to her
rescue, when the black villain made good
his escape.
Lust not robbery. was evidently the mo-
tive of the black mans entry into the house.
A general hunt is being made for the assail-
ant, and he is likely to be caught.

BUTTONS OUT OF FASHION.

ALLENTOWN. Pa, Aug. 24 1894. Yester-
day the City Button Works shut down for
an indefinite period, paid all its employees
and dismissed them. Messrs Kaufman &
Liebman, the proplietors. will, in the course
of few weeks, move with their families to
New York, and engage in business there.
The works will be kept closed until the fash
ion for wearing fancy buttons is inaugnrated
again.
A reporter called upon Mr.. Lehman to
learn his reasons for closing He said
This factory was built on the principle of
doing large business III buttons. Buttons
have not been worn by women to any extent
during the last year, and the outlook is so
poor for next year that it does not pay US to
keep open our works. As soon as the fashion
for buttons is in our favor again we will
start up" -
When the works were running full two
hundred persons were employed. ~

GENERAL HOWARD HELPS.
The Soldier Burglar Was Arrested
when E2e stepped Ashore.


August Mues, alias .'Bismark," the
German artilleryman who was caught
in the act of burglarizing the home of
Frank Tymeson on Tuesday night, was
arrafgned before Justice Douglass this
morning and committed to await the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury. He was at
tired in full uniform when arraigned.
His left arm was tightly bandaged up,
covering wounds received while jumping
through the plate glass window in the
front door to escape.
Immediately after his commitment he
was removed to Police Headquarters in
a patrol wagon and taken before In
spector Lange. He declined to discuss
his offense. z
When informed that he was to be
taken to a photographers to be
''mugged,' tears came into his eyes, but
he said nothing, and accompanied the
detectives without murmuring. In the
course of a few days his picture will
adorn the Rogues' Gallery.
His early arraignment in the court
here is due to an act of kindness on the
part of General Howard of Governors
Island. Inspector Lange sent Acting
Captain Cox to Governors Island yester-
day afternoon with a letter explaining
that the Grand Jury is not in session
and that considerable time and expense
would be involved in procuring extra
dition papers unless some plan could be
devised to avoid the necessity of secur-
ing his extradition. After a half hours
consultation with Captain Cox, General
Howard detailed Mues to accompany one
of the Sergeants on the Island to Jer-
sey City. Captain Cox followed them and
as soon as Mues put his foot in the city
he was arrested. He will be detained at
the County Jail pending trial

the Bennett and Columbia Mills are to

This is a disappointment to those who
have hoped these mills would follow the
lead of the Howland corporations. There
are many who find encouragement in
the belief that a spirit of hot-blooded
contention is slowly giving way to re-
cognition on all hands that the crisis is
one of which demands earnest and tenn

would cost $4,000, 900. Either can be COM

VIGILANT'S DEFEAT.
Mr. Astor's London Paper Reviews
the Racing Season.
Bif Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Aug. "a, 1S94-The Pail
Mall Gazette" this morning assumes that
the Vigilant has finished her season, and
reviews the races between the American
yacht and the Britannia. tIn the seven
teen races in which the yachts have
contested" the Gazette" says, luck has
llndeniable helped the Britannia more
frequently than it has the Vigilant, but
flukes come oftenest to the cleverest
skipper. The Britannia has the same
crew that she carried last season. while
the Vigilant has a new skipper and many
new hands in her crew.
Nevertheless, the yachts have COM
peted under all conditipr of wind and
water, and the verdict rendered must
be that the Britannia has succeeded in
avenging the defeats sustained by the
Valkyrie in New York Bay. The ques-
tion arises, however, was the Valkyrie
sailing her best in America or is the
Vigilant doing herself justice here? We
believe that the Valkyrie did not sail
in her English form in New York Bay.
except in the final race. The Vigilant's
career over here has been similar ex-
eept that she has had ample time to re-
cover her form.''
The Gazette" expresses the belief
that the yachts will meet again In the
Mediterranean next spring.

Spreading in New Hampshire.

SUN COOK, N. H., Aug. "a, 1S94.-The
strike at the mills here has spread some
what, and it is expected will further ex-
tend. A labor agitator from Fall River
arrived here yesterday and it is stated
that he was the cause of nearly 100 spin
ners of the China mill coming out at
one o'clock. The spinners in the Web
ster also struck, as did three-fourths of
the weavers in the Webster, and about
large number of others did not go into
work
There has been no disturbance as yet.
"It is the policy of the mills here" SAID
Agent Jewett ''to follow Fall River
strictly. When they advance, we do,
and it is the same in regard to reduc-
tions. If we do not move in case of an
increase the employees demand it, and We
always comply. The cut here was to
Fall River prices-11 per cent on weav-
ing and 10 per cent. otherwise. Our
weavers under this will average from Sc
to 81 a week.
Should they all go out, as seems
probable, we shall shut down until they
wish to come back We have been run
ming at a loss for three months, and
our storehouses are filled"
