MAKE A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
A Number of The Convicts in The Terri
 tory's Prison Attempt Escape.

toryS PriSon attempt escape
 Ten or twelve desperate prisoners in the territorial penitentiary made an unsuccessful break for liberty at noon today, says the Yuma Sun of the 9th, and one of the leaders, Jesus Garcia, now lies in the hos pital with a dozen buckshot in the lower part of his body.
 The big double gates of the prison yard were closed and the prisoners were at dinner, excepting a few trusties who had finished their meal and were being turned out of the yard by Asa Bishop. MT. Bishop had secured the keys of guard No. 1, where they are kept during the noon hour, and unlocked the inner gate when he was attacked by a number of desperate convicts who had planned to kill MT. Bishop, secure the keys and liberate them selves. Garcia, the leader, was armed with a dirk knife and began to slash MT. Bishop. The yard was in an uproar in an instant and John Clark, George Williams and Assistant Superintendent George Wilder, sizing up the situation, rushed to the rescue of MT. Bishop. The fight was fast and furious for minute, the officers being pitted against great odds. Finally MT. Bishop succeeded in breaking away from the mob but was pursued by the man with the knife. He ran towards stand No. and called to the guard, R. H. Marine, to shoot the bloodthirsty convict. Marine fired and Garcia fell to the ground, severely wounded. When the other convicts saw their leader fall they became quiet and were locked up.
 While Garcia lay writhing in agony on the ground he attempted to take his own life by stabbing himself in the breast, infiicting two ugly gashes. While the convict is badly injured his wounds are not considered fatal. He was sentenced from Cochise county in December, 1901, to ten years imprisonment for robbery, and has given the pris- on management a great deal of trouble, but will probably be good hereafter. The only injury received by MT. Bishop was a cut about an inch deep in the left side

Afford GOT CON-
TRACT.

There was trouble lurking in that
simple looking proposition put forth
by the city council to contractors for
bids on job OF cutting canal across
the island from the old river channel
to the new as explained in these
columns last week.
| When the council convened on Satur-
day evening to open the bias they
found four offers awaiting the m.
Taken collectively Mr.. Afford was
the lowest bidder but dividing the
work there were lower bidders, Martin
| Began being the lowest on the boom
work and Chas. Runback on the rock
excavation. Mayor Whese and Alder
man OrmUnroyd were absent. President
OF the council, r. b. Webb presided
Alderman Bryson was Of the opinion
that the city was being held up about
81. 90 per yard on the work aud cad a
vigorous opposition to the letting Of
the contract under the tenders. In
this position he was seconded by Alder
man Johnson. There was considerable
discussion ON the question and then II
motion was made to let the whole
contract to Weeks 81 Co. division of
| the on ie was called for and johnson
and Bryson voted mo" the remaining
members favoring the motion and the
contract was awarded to MIR. Afford.
The contractor was required To give
bonds in the sum OF 81, 600
But there was an aftermath. A
comparison of the figures presented
showed that ii the work was let in
separate bids it would amount Ia $l3C
dollars less. There was. naturally,
some bouquets handed out over the
letting of tue contract in collective
form and at higher price to Mr..
Afford. The majority members held
that Mr.. Alfard is the proper man to
have the contract as be has all of the
tools and material on the ground ana
can do the work III less uime than
others and besides. that IL the contract
is not let TO him that the city will be
the cause of "A delay in the work and
thus ALLOW the contractors to esca 20
from thsSr agreement to have the work
ready ut certain date. The other
members held that, as the bids called
Tor the contract to be bot to the lowest
b oder that the lowest bidder ought to
have it, A special meeting was called
on Monday night TO take some action
on the matter but nothing resulted
therefrom.

A CROKER PUZZLE FOR DELANY.
As Corporation Counsel He Will Have to
Refute His Defense of Old Boss.

Charles +. Murphy and Senator Patrick H. Nc
Carren spent some time together at Mr.. Murphy's
house yesterday and it was said later that the two
would go to Washington Saturday to confer
with Mayor-eIect Mcclellan about appointments
BY Saturday it is expected that Mr.. Murphy and
his friends will have made the list of the lucky
who are to get the plums 1t is regarded i'm
probable now that there will be any extended con-
ference at Atlantic City appointments. 1t
would SAVIOR too much of the Lakewood incident
which Murphy and Croker have not forgotten
John J. Delary yesterday admitted that he had
been asked by Mayor-elect Mcclellan to accept the
copied. The Tribune several days ago stated that
he had been agreed on for the place.
Il shall try to conduct my office in the best in
terests Of the city and in that way l shall best
serve all other interests, said Mr.. Delany.
The man who will succeed George L. Rives as
head of the Law Department is the personal choice
of the Mayor-elect. He Mr.. McClellan's cam
paign manager, 1t is expected that he will have an
interesting time in defining his attitude the
somewhat celebrated case of Edward F. Croker
The City of New-York. Mr.. Delany is Mr.. Cookers
counsel The case is in the Appellate Division, ana
a decision is expected within a few days.
If Croker is beaten Mr. Delany will appeal it,
and the case will go until next year After
tive and will have to do his best in order to live
up to his oath of office, to prove that his own argu
ment as counsel for Croker irrelevant, i'm
material and not in good faith TO use familiar
legal UhraSe
Thirty-seyen young have applied to Mr. De
lany for places assistants TO the Corporation
Counsel 1t is pretty certain that few of them VIII
get places. The junior assistants in the Law De
partment protected by the civil service, and
there are number Of Tammany hold-oyers Ia ofnce
that will stay there under Mr.. Delany, unless ne
breaks all precedents ana diSmisses them.
