Israel Rulings was night warden of the
institution. at the time of the mems in
generation. two of whom were confined
in cell in the upper tier and the other
two were locked up down stairs. One
night while Mr.. Rulings was seated in the
jail Office located in cell No. /. he heard
noise at the gate leading from the prison
into the yard on the northwest side of the
building. All the prisoners had been lock-
ed in their cells and the outside doors
closed.
Going to the gate to ascertain the cause
OF the disturbance Mr.. Ridings opened it,
No sooner had he done so than FIVE or
six masked men, who had scaled the
walls, rushed in upon him. He was over
powered. bound and gagged and carried
to the cellar beneath the Jail and laid
down upon the floor near the furnace.
The Jail door keys were taken from the
captive and the cells occupied by big
Frank" Hulburt. Lawler and Hope
were unlocked and the prisoners released.
4 man by the name OF Frazier. who was
a ''lifer' was also released and the qun-
tet together with their rescuers made
their escape through the main doors of
the prison, leaving the keys behind them.
When the sheriff entered the prison the
next morning he found Mr.. Rulings ly-
ing in the basement in a semi-uncOnscious
condition. still bound and gagged Upon
being released he told the thrilling story
Of his nights adventure.

None Of the escaped prisoners was
ever captured with the exception of Nc
Coy, who was located in New York,
arrested and brought back to serve ont
his sentence. Mccoy stayed in Jail until
Sheriff Armstrong; term had expired
and he was succeeded by Isaac Grubb.
One bright morning in the spring about
70 o'clock. Mrs. Grubb was engaged in
busting the parlor in the Jail residence
Sheriff Grubb was in Wilmington attend
ing To his official duties Suddenly the
parlor door which leads into the corridor
of the Jail residence was opened. and
glancng behind her Mrs. Grubb was
startled to see big Frank" gazing at
her. He had obtained key to the main
door of the prison in some manner. un-
locked it and walked ont unnoticed lock
ing the door behind him.
Mrs Gruhb" said the prisoner with n
polite how. Pm sorry to have to leav,
You my regards TO the sheriff" With
these words Mccoy closed the door. ran
ont the doorway leading to Market
street. sprang into buggy which was
awaiting him and drove away
This was the last seen of big Frank"
until nearly ten years later when he was
arrested in New York and brought back
To serve ont the remainder of his SEN
tence. Through his attorney. Mccoy
sought to be released on the grounds that
his term Of sentence had expired mas
much as he was sentenced to imprisOn-
ment between two dates and that the lat
ter time had passed when he was rear
rested. The court, however decided
against him and he was compelled t.
serve out his sentence.

Paine's Cenery Compound has saved
thousands of people from nervous
prostration. 1t has made thousands
well. 1t has cured where everything
else has failed.
In cases of severe neuralgia, rheu-
matism, heart palpitation, and ner-
vous feebleness, Paine's Celery Com
pound is the only remedy that goes to
the root of the trouble. 1t fOrtifieS
the weakened system against these dis
orders and builds up a strong. healthy
body.
There is no community in America
without some perfectly attested cure
of liver or kidney disease, chronic con-
stipation, salt rhetm, plaguing eczema,
Or general poor health by the use of
Paines Celery Compound. Impaired
strength and unstrung nerves, made
known by numbness of the limbs, ner-
vousness, and worse than all, by a
melancholy state of mind-all these
weaknesses become things of the past
after taking Paine's Celery Compound.
Whenever men and women work
and strive Paine's Celery Compound is
regarded as a GodSend. In shop. Of
fee, factory, and among the weary
wives and mothers who bear the bur-
den of domestic work, Paine's Celery
