The prisoners in the county jail made an intellectual attempt to escape, one day last week, by digging through the outer wall. An opening was made through one tier of brick, which was carefully covered over by wash-tub, but timely discovery prevented on escape. At the present. time there are two or three desperate characters in jail, and it would be well for en Rd- ditional guard to be employed.

OF THE DE-
STRUCTION OF SANTIAGO.
No Word From Miles

Washington, July 26.--Secreta1y
Long and Day both announced at the
Cabinet meeting this morning that they
had as yet received no despatch from
Porto Rico.
This is not considered strange as
there are no despatch boats with the
Miles expedition. 1t will probably
take until Saturday at the earliest be-
fore cable communication can be cstab-
lished with him and in the meantime re-
lance must be placed upon commune
cation by way of st, Thomas so that it
will probably take several days before
the department can possibly be inform
ed officially of Miles movement
In regard to the dispatches in the
morning papers in which it has been
stated that a private despatch from San
Juan de Porto Rico to the Boston Globe
said that strong American squadron
has appeared Leforc Bahia llondo, but
that the American attempt to disemhark
was repulsed with considerable losses
is probably dictated somewhat by tho
Spanish idea, yet it is likely that there
has been an attempt to land troops at
this place
The officials at the war department
expect that their first information in re-
card to the invasion or the commences
meut of the attack will come from the
press dispatches and for these they are
hourly eXpectant.
The preparations for the embarka'iol
of more troops to join the invading hos
are rapidly going ON and ii is expected
that most of the troops will be startc'
by tomorrow.
The third brigade first division iirs
corps is now loading on to the cars AM

Caught BY Our Line.
(By Special W ire.)

We put in the lightning rod for
short time last night but just before we
turned off the current the answers to
yesterdays '.attacks" were flashed into
the office by the long distance route.
We are positive that the large amount
of dirt which has been put i'll tho park
during the past few weeks will not in
any way injure the trees. The loafers
have kicked away SO much of the origin
al dirt there that it is necessary to place
a good quantity there. We think the
Womans Federation have charge of the
park improvements. Why should they
not? They have furnished the money,
or at least raised it, and who but they
should dictate in regarl to it. The wor !
has not moved at Il slow gait, but on the
other hand has been pushed as rapidly
as funds would permit. We do not
know whether the dirt is paid for or not,
and hardly think it is any business OF
the public whether it is OF not.
We were not aware that any class OF
men were allowed to own dogs in this
city and escape paying taxes on them
The assessors and constable have been
very alert in this matter and are after
all the dogs, for we are told that they
make good sausage meat.
Wewould not be certain but what the
electric railroad company would give
three cent fares inside the city limits if
! asked to do So
There is very seldom anything given
in this world unless it is asked for, sc
better ask for that rate car if it is want
ed in our city. Perhaps Montpelier
hotels and Barre liverymen might dt
some kicking if such an arrangement
was put into operation.
Perhaps the spring water companies
were given these rights before the watel
question drowned all other local sub
iectS. But at any rate the same rul'
app|ics US docs to the fact that often il
the past the city has seen its streets fill
ed with dirt in the fall and the same
thing taken out as mud in the spring.
Perhaps that rag chewing" is don
in private because it would look bad II
the public print
Yes by all means hoist that flag, an
of course those ten cent subscription
will 10 if any one has time to collect ii
We overheard the following question
going through the office so here the
are:
Who is to blame for the muddy cond
lion of the city water?
Does any one desire to obtain an IL
Junction TO prevent people breathing
