the notorious post office thieves
who are wanted in Springfield, H.,
Scranton, Pa, and other cities, while
in Ludlow street Jail yard at o'clock
Thursday morning suddenly drew re-
volvers upon their keepers, took their
keys and escaped.
The streets were crowded, as they
always are in that neighborhood, and
crowd of 1000 Hebrews chased the
escaping prisoners down Ludlow street
to Broome, where the men separated
and were soon lost in the most crowd
ed section of the streets of New York.
mystery as yet unsolved is how the
desperate men came into possession Of
their weapons. They had none when
their persons and cells were last
searched, and the prison officials de-
clare no one has visited them since.
The men are famous criminals,
and were regarded by the United
States secret service men as most
important capture when they were
arrested on Amsterdam avenue on the
LIST of last June. Their bail had been
fixed at $4,000 and they were to have
come up for another examination on
Tuesday next. The police have sent
out general alarm.

The English naval expert at Iliel
who placed the crews of the American
warships third in value and efficiency,
those of Germany being placed first
and those Of France second, was I'M
doubtedly prejudiced. The CORE
spondents of the German and Austrian
newspapers agree that the American
ships were superior to all others in
ease of motion and the exactness of
their maneuvers; this would argue that
they had the most efficient crews. The

ST. JEROME mentions widow who
had married her twenty third hus-
band, who, in his turn, had been mar
ried to twenty wives. Elizabeth Massi,
who died at Florence in 1876, had been
married to seven husbands, all of
whom she outlived. She espoused the
last at the age of 60. When on her
deathbed she recalled the good and
bad points in each of her husbands and
singled out her sixth spouse as her
favorite, and desired that her remains
might be inferred near his. The death
of a soldier is recorded in 1874 who had
five wives, and his widow, aged9o. wept
over the grave Of her fourth husband.

In response to a letter of inquiry from
State Auditor Dunn. Attorney General
Childs gave out an opinion that the
property of national building and loan
associations, including the shares Of
stock, should be assessed for taxation,
as provided by the law of last winter.
The associations are endeavoring to es-
cape the taxation by claiming the law
is invalid, and the final decision on this
question makes a big difference to the
state and to the counties in which these
national associations are doing bust
ness. The attorney general also holds
that the property of the Norwegian

for taxes.
