NOT KNOWN HOW.

Just how the men succeeded in

Sheriff Gill, who was in the city
early yesterday morning to inform Judge
Clopton that the Jail was almost empty,
said he was Of the opinion that the doors
of the steel cells opening into the corri-
dor between the double line of cells had
been by mistake left open, thus allowing
four Of the prisoners to enter the corridor,
which would have made but little differ
ence. the corridor itself is a steel cell,
had there not been other prisoners out
side OF this main cage. who fled the heavy
lock on its door. This allowed the four
prisoners inside the corridor TO join the
three on the outside in the larger and more
open part of the building. BY climbing
on top the cells, they entered a trap-door
IN the ceiling; from that portion Of the
building between the ceiling and the roof
they di opped through man-hole, and
landed in the main hall on the first floor
of the building. Here they found the
doors bolted, but lost no time in forcing
the bars, and so escaped into the dark
ness Of The surrounding forest.

II may seem strange that simple

OF conveyances, should be a cure ior

sleepy city as Rouen, the American troll
ley car with its overhead wi. es, It's clanR-
ing gong and its un.Earopean air Of
haste and rush is now a familiar feature.
"A New Yorker, who had entered the
continent by way of an Italian port, told
the other day of how he arrived in a
French town weary and sick of long
sojourn in Northern Italy and Switzer-
land. His longing for Broadway and the

Island OF Manhattan had become acute
when he heard familiar sound. 1t was
the warning sound with which We are all
familiar. That gong made him feel as if
he had been translated bodily to his
home. And the feeling of desolation was
eliminated for the time being.
One effect of the American trolley car
abroad is to give business-like air to
certain European cities that have been
noted for their sleepiness.s Those wires
stretched along the. streets give an air Of

fashioned thoroughfares, to an extent
which the popular bicycle even failed tc
reach. Ruskin and Morris, who hated
even the railroad and its modernizlna
