QUIGLEY BOLTS.
HE GETS AWAY FROM THE OF
FICERS BUT Is CAPTURED.
A Lively Chase in Which a SIipptry
Street Car Rail Played Promi-
nent Part-A Bold Dash
For Liberty.

Richard Quigley was sentenced by
Judge McCarty and later made bold
attempt to escape this morning. Quig-
ley and man named Owens We're in
dicted by the grand jury for burglary and
larceny committed in Alliance. Quigley
had his trial in common pleas court last
week for burglary and on Friday the jury
returned verdict of guilty. This morning
Quigley was brought into court for SEN
tence. Owens was brought along with him,
with the intention of consulting his attor-
neys. After hearing statement from Quig-
ley's attorney, Mr.. Charles Krichbaum,
Judge McCarty sentenced Quigley to the
penitentiary for five years at hard labor
After hearing this sentence Owens con.
cluded to further consult his attorney be-
fore entering plea of guilty, and he is
to decide Tuesday morning.
Quigley and Owens are regarded as
desperate characters, and Sheriff Doll,
although he has not handcuffed them in
taking them to and from the court room,
has had sufficient assistance to guard
against their escaping. This morning
as the prisoners were taken back to Jail
a special guard was arranged. Sheriff
Doll led the way, with Owens and Quig-
ley behind him, while following them
were Deputy Sheriffs Frank and Amos
Mckinney. There is an open passage
way between the rear of the court house
and the Jail entrance. This is built up
about five feet above the sidewalks on
either side. The passage leads to Court
street and to Market. The moment the
prisoners reached this opening Quigley
made his break for liberty. At one
bound he leaped down the six steps and
was in the front yard of the sheriff resi-
dence and making for Fifth street across
Market. Owens also made break but
found himself in the grasp of the power
full sheriff and he was quickly landed in
Jail. Deputy Sherifrs Mckinney were
close upon Quigley. At the street car
traks Quigley lost his hat and endeav-
oring to secure it slipped on the tracks.
Frank Mckinney was so close that he fell
over the prisoner, while Amos McKin-
ney grabbed him and held him for the
moment until aid came. In short time
Qnigley was back in Jail, suffering from
nothing more than the loss of breath.
The officers were just reaching for their
revolvers as Quigley fell, and he would
not have gotten far down Fifth steet until
some shooting might have been done.
AN ARRANGEMENT.
John Welschbach indicted for burglary
and larceny, pleaded not guilty this
morning, and William Mcmillan was
assigned as his attorney.

ument to be reared over his tomb; but a

Humility is greatness.
Rose-Hls love of God showed itself in
his zeal for religion. The large parochial
school, the commodious parsonage, the
grand church, the extensive orphan asy-
lum all built of brick, are eloquent mon
uments TO his priestly labors. Although
forty-eight years priest he died poor.
Convinced that deeds of charity perform
ed during life are more meritious than
charitable bequests after death, he was
wont to give to the poor with lavish
hand.
The adjoining orphan asylum, under
the care Of The Sisters of Charity, has
lost q true friend and benefaotor.
Lily-Father Hoffer was pure, angelic
character. His was the pearl of moral vir-
tues. Those who knew him best pi o1ounced
him a saint of the old school, To his
dying day he filled life of modification
and self sacrifice. For thirty-six years
he ministered to the spiritual wants of
the same flock, and during this period of
time, the light of his priestly virtues
shone out with undiminished splendor.
u Blessed are the pure of heart, for they
shall see God. Catholic Universe.

VIII De heady TO DO valiant Service
Against the Common Enemy at
Months Notice-May BE Gen-
ers1 Throughout the Country.
A number of prominent Democrats and
free silver men have been talking over
the matter of organizing a Democratic
club in Canton, upon a sound basis and
somewhat after the plan of clubs that
did notable work in other cities, such
as Cleveland. 1t will be; If organized, n
Jefferson Democratic club, and all friends
of the movement for the emancipation
of the people will join under the Demo-
cratic banner. The movement had its
origin in the minds of several local Demo-
Gratis before anything was said about
general organization throughout the
state, but it is noted with interest that
the state is to be organized in this way
The plan Of organization of this factor
in local politics is almost entirely new
and is of such character that 1t brings
into active service many workers who for
merly took no active part in campaigns.
The plan unites the social feature in the
organization of the club which any
known Democrat can join. The club
appoints a standing campaign committee,
which works in conjunction with the
regular committees Of the party. The
campaign committee in turn organizes
with the precinct as unit, and in this
way brings into the work many men
who formerly never took active interest
in campaign work.
The success of the plan for county Or
ganization, as worked out in the cam
paign just closed, has induced the work
ers to attempt to make it general
through the state, and during the next
few months efforts looking to this end
will be put forth.
1t is probable that work will be started
at a banquet of prominent workers in the
state which will be held in, Columbus the
eighth day of January. 1t is expected
that at this banquet fully l 900 Demo-
Gratis will attend and the plans for the
future then mapped out will insure Demo-
cratic victory in the campaigns to come.
If is a notorious fact that in the past the
Democratic party has entered its fights
with its ranks badly disorganized, and
that in this way great deal of time and
money had to be wasted which ought to
be applied to the active work. If the
plan is adopted and fully carried out, the
party will be ready at a moments notice
to enter into the fight with perfect or
ganization.

THREE YEARS
THE TERN OF THE SENTENCE OF
DOMINICK TYLER.
A Motion For New Trial is Overruled
and Judge Mccarty Performs His
Unpleasant Duty-PrObnbIe
Stay of Execution.

c. 7. Meyer, attorney for the defendant
in the case of Ohio VS.. Dominick Tyler,
filed n motion for new trial late Satur-
day afternoon. The grounds upon which
the new trial was asked are: First, Be
cause the Court erred in admitting eyi-
dence and testimony against the objec-
tions of the defendant, and to which he
excepted. Second Because the verdict
is not sustained by sufficient evidence
and is contrary to law. Third, Because
the court erred in its charge to the jury
Fourth, Because of other erorrs of law
occurring at the trial.
In court this morning Attorney Meyer
made but brief reference to the motion
and it was not argued. Prosecuting At
torney Pomerene then moved for sentence.
The defendant, Mr.. Tyler, was asked if he
had anything to say, but made no reply.
Attorney Meyer spoke in his behalf,
asking the clemency of the court owing
TO Mr.. Tyler's age and to the fact that
no one had been at a loss financially as
result of Mr. Tylers fraudulent action.
Mr. Tyler was asked TO stand up and
this he did assisted by his son-in-law,
W. j. Piero. In passing sentence, Judge
McCarty stated that it was painful duty
that had been imposed upon him. He
very deeply regretted being compelled to
pass sentence upon man who had for
years stood high in this community. He
had been impOrtuned by friends of Mr..
Tyler to make the sentence the very low
est that was possible. He did not feel
that he could do this with justice to the
community, though he would try to be
considerate. The court then sentenced
Mr. Tyler to three years at hard labor in
the penitentiary.
! A motion for suspension of sentence
was then made by G. Il. Meyer until the
matter could be heard before circuit
court, and this was sustained. Circuit
court is now in session in New Phila-
delphia, and a petition in error will be
filed Immediately.
Mr.. Tyler was taken into custody by
Sheriff Doll and was locked in Jail pend
ing the action before circuit court. He
is not admissible to bail unless the cir
cult court grants stay of execution.
