ESCAPED FROM JAIL.
An Exciting Incident at Moundsville,
Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday Morning.
About three o'clock yesterday morn
ing Jailer S. M. Cunningham, Of the
Marshall county prison, was aroused
by an unusual noise in the kitchen.
Mr.. Cunningham looked in and saw
some person whom he supposed at the
moment to be some member of the
family. No answer was returned to
an enquiry, however, and Mr.. Cum
ningham stepped into the room. See
ing that the occupant was a stranger,
the jailer went to his bed room for a
revolver. When he returned he found
a man in the act of dropping out of a
sitting room window, while another
was outside the building. Mr.. Cum
bingham fired a shot at the fellow in
the window, but the bullet struck
the frame on n side, while the I'M
known party jumped. Mr.. Cunning
ham ran to the window and fired
again, the ball hitting one of the men
in the arm.
An investigation of the circumstance
showed that two Jail prisoners, John
Jackson and Martin Cogley, had es-
capped from the Jail, passing through
the residence portion of the building.
Jackson is from Benwood. and was in
custody on a misdemeanor charge, and
had only twenty days to serve. He
had not been recaptured last evening.
Cogley. the man who was shot, was
held on a charge of insanity, and was
to have been sent to the asylum yes
terday morning. The bullet struck
him in the left arm above the elbow,
and amputation will probably be nee
essary.
The two men were in a cell in the
female department of the Jail. They
tore up the floor and then made
their way to the kitchen of the resi-
dence, when they were heard by the
jailor, as related. After being shot
Cog1ey ran towards the B. & o. depot,
but was caught by Officer Stillwell
near the Parish House and returned
to Jail. Later he was removed to the
hospital. Jackson is still at large.

Found Dead Beneath the Fostoria
Glass Works, ut MoundsviIle, Yes-
terday Morninx.
About n o'clock yesterday morn
ing a stranger, afterwards found to be
William Cusick. sauntered into the
Fostoria glass house at Moundsville,
presumably to get warm or to find a
place to sleep. The fellow was talk
ing, singing and dancing. and was at
tracing the attention of the workmen
in that department when Mike Cur
ran, the night Waterman, came in and
ordered him out Instead of obeying
the order he made Mr.. Curran a very
impertinant answer. This enraged
Curran and he knocked him down,
kicked him several times, and used
him up generally, then throwing him
out at the door. The unfortunate
man went in under the factory and
laid down on a pile of sand, where he
was found dead in a few moments by
some of the workmen. DIR. Steele was
summoned Immediately and examined
the man. but could not find marks of
any wounds on him which would have
caused death, except a badly bruised
place in his right temple. The body
was taken to Undertaken links and
prepared for burial. A coroner's in
quest was held at the Office of Justice
Edwards about two o'clock, and after
a very rigid examination of the Wit
nesses the jury agreed that the man,
William Cusick. had died from the eff
fects of exposure and excessive indul-
gence in intoxicating liquor. Cusick
was drunk all day Saturday and Sun
day. He was almost a total stranger

or any of his people except one uncle
Up in the State of Maine. He was 40

MR. JANSEN REPLIES


To IN Inquiry About the Action Of
Republican Bosses.
70 the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Why did the Republican u
ty committee change the way of voting
at the coming primary election?" was
asked by n who signed his query
Republican" in a Sunday paper. We
do not blame him for going under an
assumed name, or being ashamed to
sign his right name, after asking such
a foolish question. The reason why
the Australian ballot was not adopted
is apparent. The committee looking
after the interest of the ring, could
adopt no other than the Australian
ballot in a modified" form, which is
more corrupt and advantageous to the
ring, than any other ballot now known
to mortal man. 1t was the rings last
resort, the last effort of expiring vii
liany.
With the pressure brought to bear
upon them by the candidates seeking
Justice at the polls, would the good
Republican envy their awkward posi-
ton? With no avenue of escape and
justice staring them in the face, could
they do otherwise than seek a hole to
crawl into? Has the good Republi-
can no confidence in the committee?
Does he fear that they shall select
judges and clerks who would be unfair
to those who are unable to read Eng
fish, and does he not know that the
law is so strict on this particular
point, that a rascal cannot practice
trickery while acting as clerk under
the Australian ballot without incurr-
ing the penalty, punishable by fine and
Imprisonment in the ~penitentiary?
And can he give us any valid reason
why the ring insists on defeating the
will of the public by the open ballot
system?
Is it not time that they adopt some
other scheme more modern and up-to-
date? Every voter knows by this
time, that the open ballot is a buncoe
game, practiced by INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians. Is it any wonder that the Re-
publican party find it difficult to rally
their forces on election day? AS a
Lulu only goes one time, one gold
brick is a sufficient supply.
AS for selecting delegates to the
convention, Mr.. Hall hasssettled that.
We understand that he has arranged
with MI. Freer, without Freer's con-
sent, for a solid delegation from Ohio
county, no matter what the voters say.
Leading politicians buy, sell and spec
ulate on votes before they are cast, as
though they were actual stock in trade.
Why don't u inquiring friend stop
and think for himself before he writes?
Why did the committee abolish the
sixty foot limit? Was that in the in
terests of the ring candidate? Why
did the committee abolish the booth,
and refused to have the clerk sign the
ballot before it is cast? Was that not
in the interest of the ring candidate?
What is to prevent the ring clerk from
stuffing a ring ballot box? Why not
adopt the Australian ballot, which is
in accordance to law, with a penalty
attached, and insures a fair and hon
est expression of the voters of Ohio
county? The ring has had its inn
ings; now give the people a chance.
If Mr.. Good Republican does not wish
dissatisfaction in the party, let him
come over with the anti-ring faction,
and support the law. By doing SO he
will do no candidate an injustice.
