A COAT WHICH CREW.
Story of Clever Prisoners Plan for
 Escape.

Escape.
 Green Casey, convict at San Quen- tin. has won the admiration of all his fellow conyiets at the prison for the novel eontrivance he has invented in order to make his escape from the prls. on walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara county, the story has leaked out, says the San Francisco Call. Casey was kind of trusty around the prison grounds, and while working in one of the grounds in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his head that he would like to es- cape, and was beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose. AS he was stroll ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could elude the watchful sentries and make good his escape Through the aid of his convict friends he procured some pieces of burlap, and with the aid of some rope made them into a long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se- cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds, and watered it daily. In a few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat, and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out his plans, and patiently waited an op- portunity. At last he succeeded in get ting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison, and in few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he crept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts. But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making it's way up the hillside soon came to sudden standstill as the eye of guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investigate the phenomenon. A kick in the ribs apprised Casey that his plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey, and a red shirt now covers his breast.

Union Republicans Are Recognized by
Congressional, But Not by National Com
mittce. sEl
A news item from Dover says that
tho Union Republicans are highly
olated over the fact that the list OF
REPUBLICAN State chairmen and score
taries as compiled by the Congress
siopa committee contains the names Of
j. Frank Alice, chairman, and William
IT. Smithers. secretary, of the Union
Republican State Committee, as the
Delaware State Committee officials.
The fact that Congressman John Henry
Hoffecker is member OF the Con-
gressional COMMITTEES, being the Della
ware member thereof, may explain why
the Union Republican names receive
the preference as to the Delaware
officials. Regular Republicans here
say that the Congressional list is of nu
significance.
