Three Desperate Prisoners Attempted to
Escape From New Castle Jail. But Were
pIscovered just In Time.

Three Desperate Prisoners Attempted to
Escape From New Castle jail. But Were
Discovered just In Time.
About o'clock Night Warden James
Foster and Arthur Wilson began TO sus.
pect that three men were trying to escape
from jail. They explored around the out
side Of tho wall, then went into the
cellar. They soon learned that things
were not right In cell No. 16
This cells occupied by John Dougherty
who killed Sweds In Wilmington last
year, Michael Dsvine who assaulted and
robbed W. & N gatemsn. and Samuel
GurleyEwho killed & negro, and who
escaped from jail last Summer.
The wsrdens then walked around TO
the outside aud listened with their hesds
close to the wall While in this position
knife came through the wall within
two inches Of Fosters eye. The warden
did not wait for further Developments
knowing that Il the men once reached
the yard it would mean battle, and
probably death to some one, as the three
prisoners sre desperate men
While getting The leg Irons ready for the
three, the prisoners stopped cutting out
and when the wardens reached their cell
they knew the game was mp and wera
ready to &c 20 cell No. 10, where they
were put in irons.
There Is about a cart load Of stone cut
from the wall under the bee and a
strong rope made Of blankets torn aud
plated. at the end Of this rope was a
hook, by means OF which device the
prisoners could easily have scaled the
wall.

THE PLATFORM.

In another article this morning we nave
treated specifically the financial plank Oh
the Chicago platform. There can be no
nosslble question as TO what that declara-
tion means. Whatever criticism Of it may
be competent, it at least possesses inc
virtue Of not being straddle' ana draws
tho line sharply between free SILVER ana
gold. For the rest the scope OF the pat
form is much wider than we had expect
% Il would be. We had not supposed that
Tho convention would make deliverance on
80 many questions.
An 10 some Of the planks we shall re-
serve comment until in the light OF the
debate upon the adoption Of the declafa-
tion we shall be placed in better position
90 interpret them. Suffice ii to say that
the plank regarding the income-tax is not
as clear as it might be- that those touch
Ing Federal courts and the control OF rail-
roads need explanation, and that other
declarations are at variance with time
honored Democratic doctrines ana poll
cies.
However, the broad and initial declara-
tion-the reclamation with which the
platform commences-clearly defines what
Democratic supremacy means for the re-
oublic. and sets forth unmistakabiy the
nigh obligation resting upon every south-
ern Democrat especially to stand by his
oarty. Questions of financial policy, OF
lncone-tax. Of tariff, of banking systems
&c. are as nothing compared 10 the main
tenance Of the great principles of !oca
self-government and the restriction oil
the General Government to the exercise
Of the powers granted by the Fedora
Constitution. Under the new policies
enunciated in the Chicago platform SUI
lies the great Democratic charter inherit
ed from Mr.. Jefferson, and upon that ever!
true Democrat can and ought to stand
Whatever may be the mistakes of IN
platform as regards policies, the corner
stone of true Democratic faith remain
intact beneath them, and in loyalty Il
that faith lies the hope of perpetuation
republican institutions.
