UTAH coNVIcTs ESCAPE.
Penitentiary Guards Kill One-Wound
TAIn-

Two.
AS a result of a well organized and
partly successful attempt at a whole
sale delivery Of prisoners at the Utah
penitentiary one prisoner was killed,
one guard was shot, another was beat
en- almost into insensibility, three pris-
Oners were wounded and two others
under death sentences escaped.
The outbreak occurred about 6 p.
M, just as the prisoners were being
placed in their cells for the night, by
Guards Wilkins and Jacobs. The af-
fair went through with such a vim
and precision that it must have been
carefully planned beforehand. Two
of the prisoners overpowered Wilkins
and Jacobs, the former being shot and
slightly wounded and the latter fright
fully beaten. The convicts took the
prison keys from the guards and re-
leased five other prisoners who had
already been locked up. The seven
prisoners then compelled wilkins, not
withstanding his injuries, to march at
their head, and with the assistance of
ladders found near the workshop pro-
coed to scale the wall wilkins was
made to ascend first.
AS the first convict reached the
top, Guard Naylor, who was on the
south wall, opened fire. This was the
signal for a general alarm, and sew
eral guards who were in the Office
quickly seized their guns and FASTENED
to the scene. Guard briggs reached
the wall just as Dayton and Mullan
we're descending on the outside. He
ordered them to halt. but as they paid
no attention to the command, he fired
killing Dayton. A second shot strucF
Mullan in the leg as he was coming
down the ladder and he dropped to
the ground, his body falling over the
corpse of Dayton.
The other five convicts had succeed
ed in reaching the ground outside the
wall when they were fired upon by
other guards.
Two of the prisoners were armed
with revolvers. Where they secured
the weapons is not known.

Poisoned Water.

Show Cause Why He Arrested Miners
Poisoned Water.
In the district court at Cripple
Creek, Col, information has been fled
against Brigadier General John Chase,
Adjutant General Sherman Bell and
Judge Advocate Major Thomas E. Nc
Clelland, in behalf of p. H. Mulvaney,
w f. Davis, Thomas Foster, Emil
Johnson and A. A. Frey, striking min
ers, charging unlawful arrest and de
tention in the military guardhouse.
1t is alleged that an attempt was
made a few days ago to poison the
garrison at Camp FL Paso, and it was
so successful that every man in the
command with the exception Of three
who were absent, was laid on his back
with cramps and diarFhoea. Altogether
68 men were down. but all OF them
have recovered. 1t is believed poison
was placed in the water tank of the
mine from which water is taken for
domestic purposes. Many of the min
ers were also affected An analysis OF
the water is being made. The camp is
garrisoned by Company d of Denver
and Company B of Pueblo. The Off
GERS kept quiet about the affair until
today, hoping to discover the perpe
traitors of the act.

FLOODSIN NLH JERSEYCIIIES
CITY OF PATERSON UNDER WA
TER-GRLNT DAMAGE DONE.
Several bridges Washed Away-Big
Mills Flooded and Thousands of
People Thrown Out of Employment
Damage to Property Will Reach
Into the Millions.

Paterson, N. j., Oct. 12.-Flood con-
ditiOns here improved but little
throughout the night. Early morning
saw the waters at their maximum,
and, although the danger to life and
property still is great, there was a
general feeling of relief today because
of the fact that several of the bigger
retaining walls and water gates had
been able to withstand the rush OIL the
flood. Throughout the day hundreds
of men, under the superintendency of
Mayor Hinchliffe, were at work
strengthening these walls and gates.
Scores of persons were rescued from
their homes. A great many houses
collapsed, and many more are ready
to collapse, but it is believed that
there has been little loss of life.
For nearly AZ hours Paterson has
been at the mercy of the Passaic riv-
err. The waters have maintained a
height sufficient to cut the western
half of the city from the eastern, and
almost all means of communication
by bridges have been destroyed. Two
bridges above the falls remain, but
approach to them is impossible. Three
bridges below the Valley of the
Rocks still stand, but it is impossible
to live in reaching them.
Seven other bridges in the city
have been carried away and their loss
is $500, 600. The inundation of the
low lying districts of the city has re
suited in inconceivable damage tc
property. The flood, however, is be
ginning to recede.
Besides the buildings that fell to
day, many others have been under
mined, and if they do not fall, they
will be at least untenable. Spruce
street hill is falling away, and only
little more than two feet of dirt anC
stone separate the falls basin from
the big black race through which mill
ions of gallons of water are rushing
every hour. The gatehouse is in {
very weakened condition and is liable
to go if Spruce street hill breaks mucl
more.
Major Hinchliffe regards the situa
tions as most critical.
The damage to mill property il
chiefly from the submersion of POI
tions of the plants and great quaint
ties of products. Thousands of men
women and children will be out o
employment for a long time, and
seems altogether probable that thi
flood will cause to the city of PateI
son a greater direct loss of none
and property than the fire of nearl
two years ago. The gross loss the
was $4,000 900, with an insurance G
more than $4,OOO,OOO The loss toda
is estimated at considerably NOR
than 100000, with no insurance.
At Trenton.
Trenton, n. j., oct. 22.-The exter
of damage done by the flood in thi
section is now beginning to be full
realized. At least six and possibl
all nine of the wagon and foot bridge
across the Delaware river betwee
this city and EastOn, Pa, nave bee
carried away.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 1.-THE north
east gale that has ragged over this re-
gion since Thursday has practically
spent its power, but for miles and
miles along the Virginia coast the
beach is Uttered with wreckage, and
throughout this entire section of the
country devastation lies in the wake
of the storm. Thousands of people
crowded the coast Sunday to view the
wrecks of the big barges, Ocean Belle
and Georgia. The body of Captain
George H. Adams of the Georgia
washed ashore.
Daring Rescue.
The rescue of three negroes of the
crew by Surfman William Capps was
most heroic act. Capps, while two
miles from any other human being,
and patrolling his stretch between the
stations, saw one negro over 100 yards
off shore in the roaring surf. Without
a moments consideration he stripped
and plunged into the sea, that was al
ready a seething mass of wreckage
from the barges, and after a half hour
battle, single handed and alone,
brought the unconscious man to
shore. A moment later he discovered
through a rift another form, and once
more went into the surf. This time
his struggle was a harder one, but he
eventually succeeded in saving the
negro. Placing both men under the
lee of a cliff, he started back to the
station to give the alarm, when he saw
a third negro in the waves, and for
a third time plunged in and brought
an unconscious man ashore.
While nothing new is reported in
the way of wrecks on the coast, there
is absolutely no means of securing in
formation from points more than six
miles south of Virginia Beach. The
entire coast telegraph system is pros
trated, and it will be some days be-
fore communication can be restored.
Anchored off Virginia Beach, with
no signs of life aboard, are two large
sea-going barges. Both are slowly but
surely dragging toward the beach.
What fate has befallen their crews
is not known.
At Cape Henry the bay and ocean

small craft and the mammoth double
decked pavilion is badly damaged.
The loss at Virginia Beach exceeds
that of any other place hereabouts.
Valuable Crops Ruined.
At Suffolk and in the Nansemond
country the peanut crop is ruineu to
great extent and in eastern North
Carolina great damage has been done
to growing cotton. Big manufacture
ing plants along the many rivers cen
tering in Hampton Roads have been
compelled to suspend and heavy loss
has been entailed by damage to ma
chinery. The truck farms are under
water and the fall crop is almost An
entire loss.
Norfolk City is now practically free

1 has diminished the depth of water in
+ the streets and traffic is again in its
normal state. Along the water front
L evidence of great loss is seen on every
