A CoNVICT'S DEN.
Hiding Places of Prisoner Who Es-
caped from Sing Sing.

capped from sing
A convict at the prison, named Garter,
made his escape from Sing Sing prison
on the morning of June q, 1898. The
officers of the prison naturally regretted
his departure and kept watch night and
day for more than a week in hopes that
he had not yet left the place and might
be intercepted and prevailed upon to re-
main the seven years he still owed the
state. but without avail. From that
time to this Carter has not been seen
nor heard from.
At the time of Carter's disappearance
there were two theories advanced to ac-
count for it. one being that he had gone
out by one of the gates. and the other
that he had slowed himself away and
made his escape after the search for him
was over A discovery just made by
Keeper Thomas Coultry shows that the
latter theory was correct.
Carter. at the time he escaped. was
the engineer for the shoeshoo, which is
situated i'll one of the old buildings at
the north end of the prison yard, and
since then there has been sort of tradi-
ton among the convicts that somewhere
in the neighborhood of the engine-houSe
and boiler there existed Il hiding place
so skillfully arranged as to battle any
attempt on the part of the prison officials
to find it. Keeper Coultry believed that
Carter had made his escape by slowing
himself away, from the fact that the
night dIleT the WATCH IOF nlLi VIZ given
10 the keepers closet in the shop of
which he had charge was broken open
and a coat and other articles were miss
ing the next morning. Since a convict
named keenan, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to escape several weeks ago by
hiding himself away behind a false wall
erected for the purpose in a loft, there
has been a systematic search made for
similar places throughout the prison
grounds.
Keeper Coultry has succeeded in I'M
earthing the place where Carter so sue
cessfully hid himself. 1t consists of an
excavation running from the foundation
boiler, which is outside of the shoe shop.
proper. Carter had patiently dug out
the earth in his spare moments until he
had a space underground high enough TO
stand upright in, about eight feet long
and three feet wide. The top and sides
were boarded over, and when the place
was discovered it was found to contain,
among other things, a bottle of kerosene
oil, bottle of vinegar two hand lamps,
a canister of tea, remains of provisions
and number of tools The entrance
to the place was through hole in the
foundation of the shop, where such
thing would least be expected and the
hiding place was only exposed by dig
ging for it from the outside. 1t is need
less to say that the place will never be
available again for a convict game Of

PLUG FISHING BARRED.
Maine Waters from Which the Fly Gas
ters Have Driven Users of Bait.

Maine Waters from Which the Fly Cas-
ters Have Driven Users of Bait.
The Maine fish and game commission
have granted q petition to close South
Bay stream and the pool between Round
and Dodge ponds to the users of the
angleworm. The petition was got up by
fly fishermen. who said that bait fishing
for speckled beauties was unsportsman-
like.
''Plug. fishing" is what they called bait
using, and their description of it was
not calculated to make the bait fisher
-nen love the fly casters.
Plug fishing they say, sis where
they take a spruce pole some fifteen feet
long with a big hook and sinker on the
line. They just put on big COB of
angleworms, and then bob for the trout .
1t seems that no mention was made of
the eight or nine ounce rods, costing
many dollars, which manufacturers put
on the market for trout bait fishing
The bait users do not admit that there
is more sport in fly casting than in bait
fishing for trout, and do not often admit
that fly fishing is more artistic.-New
