deputies made raid to night on the
house of Joseph Tribble, short
distance east of the town of Forbes,
eighteen miles north of this city.
and captured JOS eph Tribble, Ed
ward Frieburg and John Reinbart,
all well-known and prominent resi-
dents of Forbes, whom they brought
to this city and locked up. They
also captured full set of counter
feiter's tools including moulds. dies
and nearly half peck of spurious
silver dollars. The dollars purport
to be Of tie issue of 1898 and are Of
such good quality that it is almost
impossible to detect them from the
genuine. After being arrested Trib
bic made full confession and also
told who were the confederates,
who will be arrested tonight. For
some months past the counties north
of this city have been flooded with
spurious dollars and the govern

GENERAL MORGAN'S ESCAPE.
A New story of How He Got Away
From the Ohio Penitentiary.

From the Ohio Penitentiary.
Columbus, Ohio, March G.-The |
Columbus Dispatch to-day sent a
reporter to John Radebaugh, on
Swan street, to get information
about the men who led the horses
attached to the funeral car which
carried Lincoln's remains through
the streets of Columbus, en- route
from Washington to Springfield, Ill.
Mr.. Radebaugh at the time was
chief clerk to the United States as
sisting quartermaster, the late Colo.
mel Raymond Burr, located in this
city. Speaking Of various matters
about the war, Mr.. Radebaugh gave
an account OF the escape of General
John Morgan and his thirteen COM
rades from the Ohio penitentiary,
saying Secretary Stanton ordered
their release. Stanton said Morgan
was being held in felon's prison in
violation of the rules of war. The
Confeierates were threatening re-
taliation. Stanton sent secret order
to Governor Todd to release Morgan.
The situation was explained to Todd.
1t was feared the public could not
be made to understand the circum-
stances There was intense feeling
against Morgan among the people.
Radebaugh says Governor Todd
called conference with Colonel
Young, his military secretary, War
den Merton of the penitentiary,
Colonel Barr, the quartermaster and
myself" 1t was decided to allow
Morgan to escape. Merton was to
manage the escape. We were pledg-
ed to secrecy. Morgan and his men
understood the subject and walked
out Of the front door. Some of them
were taken in wagon to West JEFF
ferson, to take train for Cincinnati.
l, myself, met John Morgan just
outside the prison and went with
him to the depot, where he took the
train for CINCINNATI This was about
10 o'clock at night. l suppose Gov
ernor Todd either destroyed the
order from Stanton or concealed it
among his personal effects. I am
the only person living who took part
in the affair.
1t has always been believed by
many persons that Morgan bought
his wav out, and Warden Merior
was greatly censured by the public
but an investigation under officia
authority cleared his skirts. The
manner of the "escape" and all the
circumstances seem to indicate tha
it could not have been accomplished
as originally reported. Mr.. Rade
baugh's reason for making the affai
public is that he will soon pass away
and no blame will now be attacheI
to men who set Morgan free.

Locked i'm a Vault.

Chicago. March The breach of
promise suit Of Daisy Gardner, a
telegraph operator, against George
". Stone, son Of wealthy board of
trade operator, has developed ro-
mantle story, in which stern parents
big iron vaults, an imprisoned bride
groom and disappointed guests are
mingled in charming confusion.
Daisy Gardner is very pretty
girl, who takes stock quotations and
and the like in an office very near
the board of trade, where young
Stone is employed in his fathers
Office. The young people met often
and cupid did the rest--or would
have done it, Miss Gardner says, if
the senior Stone had not interfered.
The wedding day was set, so says
the court bill, the guests arrived
and the bride was ready, but the
necessary groom did not come.
The guests went home, and next
day. Miss Gardner declares, young
Stone came to her with a peculiar
explanation. His father, he said,
had discovered the proposed we'd
ding, demonstrated, and, finding the
young man obstinate, pushed hin
into a large Office vault and KEEP
| him locked up until the wedding
hour was safely passed. Miss Gard
ner could not see the joke and sued
Young Stone for $4,000 for breach
of promise, III the hope, she says
that her former father in law appar
ent will have to foot the bill Ston,
Sr., admitted in an interview to. da'
that he had prevented the marriage
but emphatically denied that he hae
locked his son in vault.
