JAIL BIRDS ESCAPE.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 25.-AnOther dar-
ing Jail delivery was perpetrated tonight
at the county Jail shortly after $50
o'clock. six desperate prisoners making
their escape The delivery was supposed
to be wholesale one in which every
prisoner confined on the third floor of the
Jail was to get out, but the watchfulness
of the turnkeys prevented this. and only
the six men escaped. The men who got
out are as follows:
Jake Brill convicted counterfeiter hav-
ing Il sentence of six years to serve;
Harry Brooks. convicted of robbing a
pOstotiice and having Il sentence of four
years to serve; Tom Mckenzie, charged
with housebreaklng and having had no
trial: Tom Kelly, charged with house
breaking and awaiting trial; Yves Satter-
ly. charged with COW stealing and await
ing trial. All of the men We're white and
were considered desperate prisoners and
men who would hesitate at nothing.
They gained their liberty by scraping
the mortar from between the bricks in
cell No. 5, letting the bricks fall into the
interior of the cell, and in this manner
they got hole large enough for them
to climb through. One at a time they
made their way out of the hole and
climbed upon the roof Then, by the
means of short rope, they let them
selves down into narrow alley between
the wall of the Jail yard and an abut-
ment of the new Jail and escaped.
None of the escaped prisoners had been
captured up to midnight. This is the
second Jail delivery in Louisville within
the last year, seven prisoners making
their escape on last Christmas day.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The republicans
have a straight electoral ticket in forty
four of the forty-fve states, having eff
fected fusion in only one-Texas-with
the middle-of-theroad populists and gold
democrats.
The democrats have straight electo-

licans in twenty-nine of the others, con-
clusion not yet having been reached in
the remaining one. In some cases the
populists and silver republicans endorsed
the democratic electoral tickets, but in
others concessions of electors were made
to them for their support of Bryan and
Sewall. In two states. Oregon and
South Dakota, the democrats endorsed
the populist electoral ticket. The fol-
lowing table shows the states with a
straight democratic electoral ticket and
those in which division of electors has

hopes of effecting fusion in North Caro-
