CONNECTS WORK TO ESCAPE.
Key Failed to Fit and Prevented .
 Wholesale Delivery.

Pttsburg, Pa, October 19.-It has been discovered by officers of the Western penitentiary that some fifteen prisoners at that institution have been working on a desperate plan by which they hope to regain their freedom, and but for the fact that key made by one of the con- victs did not fit they might have succeed ed. By some means they had obtained possession of a key leading to the dun geon department beneath the main corri- dor of the penitentiary and after enter ing there, they encountered a large door resembling that of an ordinary safe. This they completely dismantled, then replaced the outside steel sheet after which they placed colored putty in the screw holes to detract attention.
 Coming to the third door. they wrench ed the lock from it's fastenings and all that remained between them and free dom was an outside door. For this they had made key but it did not fit prop erly and was carried back that the de- feet could be remedied. In the meantime the deputy warden becoming suspicious of the actions of some of the convicts made thorough investigation which led to the discovery of the plot. The cells of nearly a thousand prisoners were searched, but no clue was obtained. The matter is still being investigated

DON'T LIKE THE
 MEXICAN RECEIVER
CHASED JUDGE FOR A DEGREE SETTING ASIDE THE APPOINT MADE IN ITS PLACE.

Dover. Del, October 19-The insolvency of the International Bank and Trust com pany of America, at the City of Mex ico which is a corporation of the state of Delaware. and which was recently given authority to increase its capital stock to $5,0O0,000, caused tonight one of the most remarkable dashes for a receiv- ership ever known here A number of those interested in the big company who are opposed to the receivership obtained in Mexico, which closed all the company's S Mexican banks, and who also opposed the selection of Don Jacinto Patterns, a law yer, as receiver, gathered here tonight with object of obtaining a decree from the highest court in the state which would re- scind this action.
 Those present were: Charles L. Phil lips, vice president of the company; James G. Dean of New York, a director; James l.. Wolcott, a lawyer of Dover, another director; former Governor William T. Watson, also a director Henry Ridgely special counsel for Herbert Compton, 2 stockholder and William L. Gooding special counsel for the company. An application to Chancellor Nicholson was hurriedly drawn up, praying him t, | appoint receiver who could go int Mexico and elsewhere and take charge O the company's assets.
 l Later the party hurried aboard a Della
 ware railroad train for Lewes, and ther l continued their search for Chancello 1 Nicholson by boat, the chancellor hay
 ing gone out on a trip from the Della
 ware breakwater on the pilot boat Phil
 adelphia.
 | The members of the party expect [,
 overtake the chancellor and say they vii l get a receivership tonight. They clain 1 that because this is corporation of tn
 state of Delaware, the action of tn
 chancellor will take precedence. Her
 bert Compton, a stockholder, directly
 makes the application to Chancellor Mich l olson on the ground of insolvency.

At the BlIou.

"The Child Slaves of New York was presented to a large audience at the Bijou last night, and the impression was favora- ble. It is a melo-drama abounding in exciting incidents and climaxes galore. in all of which there is a great gun play, or some equally thrilling attempt to commit murder on the part of the william and his comrades.
 The company certainly has some excel lent stage settings, and in several scenes they are wonderful, as well as pretty The play starts in the gold fields of Alas ka, then jumps to a slum in New York where child is kidnapped.
