the men were taken to the two wagons
which conveyed them to the depot. The
crowd followed closely after. At the
depot, before the train arrived, the sit
uation grew more threatening. The
crowd jeered the prisoners and shouts
Of don't let them get on the train
were heard. The police finally had to
charge the yelling crowd to prevent a
rush at the prisoners. Fortunately the
train loon came and the men were
safely embarked. The prisoners ranged
from 10 to 80 years, mostly without
employment. Two Or three are street
peddlers and all are known to the police
as a gang going together and often

Raleigh. y. c., October There is a
fresh sensation regarding the peniten-
tiary. Governor Russell summoned here
by telegraph Chairman Dockery. of the
pen%itentiary directors. The relations
between the governor and Superintend-
ent Smith are greatly strained and ii
is learned that the governor is not sat
isfied with his management.
Matters tonight look very serious for
Superintendent Smith of the penitenti-
airy. 1t looks like he will have to go.
The directors eyes are opened. 1t is
frankly said he has taken entire man
agemcnt of everything on himself; that
he does not confer with the directors
or subordinates; that the directors do
not know what he is doing until he has
done it, and that reports from him can
not be obtained. He claims the direc-
tors have nothing to do with the man
agement; that under the law he can do
as he pleases. The board proposes to
take this question in hand and settle
it. The issue is in fact squarely drawn
between him, and the board. Chair
ma Dockery has, with singleness of
attempted to ave the peni-
tertiary affairs conducted in a business
like and hence if there is not
a change he will tender his resignation,

these matters.
