That slavery in territory could

Salter D.. Worden, the condemned train wreckcr
who was recently reprievod by tho Governor for
q few weeks, and others. To-day a number OF
Emo steel saws were found secreted undor a

vict named Wilson to liborate himself, Worden.
and two Others. Wilson established
cation between his cell. on the upper tier. and
that Of wordon, on the lower, by which tho files
were each night hoisted to him. He had em-
ployed tn em on tho iron door Of his cell with
good effect In making al aperture to allow him
to escape.
The plan was for him to lberato Worden at

were TO ovcrpower the corridor night guards
and escape by the skylights. They were to have
arms brought from outside the prison and Sc
cretcd in an ash barrel in tho corridor. In an.

bouch into the fields. A skirmish line was thrown
across the field, and the soldiers, provided with
blank cartridges. engaged in firing at an i'm
aginary foe. A farmer. whose fields the soldiers
were crossing. was hoeing potatoes when he saw
the invasion. and when the firing began he ran
across the field toward them. The first man he
reached was Private James McEntee, who had
just fred his rife.
Here, therel what In HI are you doing

with his hoe, hitting him across his ankles,
causing him to yell with pain. Using his gun as
q means of defence. McEntee parried some Of
the blows that the farmer aimed at him. His
bayonet practice stood him in good stead, and
finally other members OF the company, noticing
the sCuftie, rushed to their comrades assistance
and managed TO drag him from the fieid. A
hurried command was given to the soldiers. and
with more haste than gracefulness the company
marched of into the road, leaving the sturdy
