ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.

Three Prisoners Caught While Trying e
Make Their Way Dat of the County Prison
-Revoivers Found in the Cell With Two
Others.
Sposlal Corre snondenceo OF Gazette and journal
New Castle, Nov. G.-Warden Lindsay
Wilson prevented jail delivery here
yesterday afternoon. Rotten Wilson,
John Burke and Luke Burns, three
desperate characters, who are serving
sentences for housebreaking, had by
some means sawed through the heater
hole in their cell No. s into the cellar
and had gone to the cellar through tho
hole and had partially sawed an iron
bar in one of the windows looking out
into the stone pile yard, when they
were detected. Warden Wilson, as
soon as he made the discovery, hurried
the mon back 10 cell No. "a, and a
search of the prison was at once COM
menced.
The instrument with which the men
had done the saving could not be
found, but 1t is supposed that in some
manner they had obtained possession
of small cav. Thoy operated while
nobody was looking, and for some time
escaped detection. After they had cut
their way into the cellar they returned
TO the coll several times. 1t is sup
posed that ono of them was on guard
and gave the alarm when thore was
possibility OF being caught. When they
were discovered in tho attempt to
escape they made no resistance.
The search among the cells resulted in
the discovery of two dangerous revolvers
in cell No. Is, which was occupied by
the two men who had been convicted
OF the Banning robbery, Joseph
Mitchell and Arthur q. Webster
Deputy Sheriff Harry Gillis, while
making the search, struck a hard lump
in the he'd in the cell. The men had
been temporarily removed to another
cell. Deputy Gillis probed with his
pom knife and soon had the mysterious
lump out. 1t was found to be two
loaded revolver and quantity of
cartridges sewed up in bed ticking
bag. The package had been carefully
secreted in the bad, and it is supposed
that the men had in mind attempting to
escape by shooting down the Jail
officials when an opportunity should
present itself.
The arms and ammunition were taken
care Of by Deputy Gillis and the men
were put back in the cell. The officers
said nothing to the men about the dis
covery and the men said nothing to
them about it.
The other cells were also searched,
but nothing in the way of arms or
weapons was found anywhere.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT IN SUSSEX.

How the Excitement Was Speedily Aliayat
The official Majorities--Pitiuble PIigh,
of the Addicks Republicans.
Special Correspondence OF tiazetrp ana journal
Georgetown, Nov. 6. --The election oil
1896 came to an end, SO far as SUSSEX
county is concerned, at $50 O'Clock
last night, when the board of canvass
completed the task of compiling the
returns.
1t was expected that objection would
be made to the official count IN some OF
the hundreds, and that trouble would
result, as the worshippers of the ''god
Addicks" have seemed for the past few
days, apparently to have lost sight OF
the existence of and all regard for any.
thing like law.
But the appearance of State
detective and goodly number OF
special constables and deputy sheriffs
had a wholesome effect, and the most
rabid of them became once more law
abiding citizens.
Owing TO the inclemency OF the
weather, no demonstration was made
beyond generous display of bunting
and an occasional "hurrah for Tun-
nell. !" The genial Govenor-elect was
here in the morning and was warmly
greeted and congratulated by both
Democrats and Republicans.
The nearest approach to excitement
was caused by the receipt of dis
patch from Philadelphia, announcing
that returns from rural districts of the
country had greatly reduced McKinley's
vote in many States, and there was IA
possible chance that Bryan had been
elected. 1t was soon learned however,
that tho rumor had little foundation
in fact.
When the board of canvass met in
tho Court House, shortly after IL
O'Clock, the room was crowded with
people eager to get the corrected returns,
but it soon became evident that the
work OF tallying would not be COM
pleted before night.
The result had little in it to surprise
any one. The Addicks Republicans
had insisted that the Regulars would
not poll more than 200 votes in tho
entire county, but the returns gave
them clear vote Of nearly 900.
The Mckinley electoral ticket re-
ceived plurality of 750 Ebe W.
Tunnel, Democratic nominee for Con
Levin Irving Handy, for Congress, u
William 4. Moore, Democrat. was
elected by 275. plurality. The Demo
cratic nominees for the lower house
were elected by an average plurality
of about 265.
John ii. johnson. Republican candi-
date for sheriff, was elected by 654 ma.
jority. William II. johnson, Democrat,
was elected coroner by 2S5 plurality.
Jesse 4. Wells, Democrat, received 240
plurality. The Democrats elected five
members of the Levy Court and the
Republicans two numbers. The BIZ
partisan Constitutional Convention
ticket nominated by the Democrats
and Regular Republicans, was elected
by an average majority Of l, 164.
The effect of the result on the Ad-
dicksites was pitiful in the extreme.
They are like sheep without a fold.
They fully realize that Addicks is COM
plctely out of Sussex county politics,
and that unless they go over to the
Regular Republicans they are out Of
politics with Addicks.

The total vote for the Democratic

ter's total seems short hundred, as
the official count in New Castle gives
him but o, 537, to 0. 626 for Rodney and
5,632 for Harrington, evidently an error
in the addition.
But John II. Rodney is clearly elected
by the official count, and the courts
will have to determine the contest
hetween him and Mr.. Shaw for the

Built the Wrong Way.

Il shall never forget an incident
which occurred in the first fair I ev-
er attended in Georgia" said retir.
ed Cincinnati meat packer to a wri-
ter in the Atlanta Constitution. It
was at Macon and l think they called
it state fair. AT any rate it was a
big thing for the town in those days.
They had some fine stock on exhibi-
ton and Pennsylvania had sent
down about twenty of the finest
looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester whites, and if
/ recollect Alright they were exhibit
ed by Thomas Wood, a great hog
and cattle fancier of twenty and thir-
ty years ago. He it was who intro
duced that famous breed of hogs the
Chester white, and he made great
deal of money out of his fancy stock.
He was friend, quaker you know
who used the plain language and
wore a broad -brimmed hat. He was
smart old gentleman, honest and
prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair and they took
40 many prizes and blue ribbons that
each hog looked like boy who had
spent all his money making collect
ion of badges.
"When the Macon judges made
their awards they gave blue ribbons
very literally to the razor backs, but
not one of the fat, sleek Pennsylvan-
ia hogs got prize. The owner of
the exhibit did not understand it, so
he went to one Of the judges and said
in the language of the friends:
81 know thee to be an honest man
and ! do not question thy fairness in
the award, but to crafty my own
curiosity | would be glad to have
thee tell me why thee gave all the
prizes to the native stock and what
fault thee found in miner"
"My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly" the judge replied
"They are certainly handsome and |
have no doubt that in your section
they are the best breed to raise, but
they are not suited for this country.
They are so short-legged and fat
that a nigger could catch them in
two minutes. What we require for
a hog in the south is legs and wind.
We give our prizes for speed"
