DEMOCRATS GAIN ONE in LEWIS
AND CLARKE.
GIVES MAJORITY OF TWO
Republicans Control Senate by six
-on Joint Ballot Are Eight
to the Good.

Although the official count of one
county, Lewis and Clarke, has caused
a loss of n republican member of
the house, the party has still a ma
jority of two in that body. Until the
canvass OF that county was completed,
Thursday, it was believed the repub-
licans had succeeded in electing two
members of their legislative ticket
there. No doubt was ever entertained
SO far as one OF them, Laustrum, was
concerned, but it was known that
Richardson, who was the next highest
republican, had only a very small per-
centage OF advantage over Wellman,
democrat. 1t now develops that Rich
ardson was beaten by one vote.
Not all of the counties have as yet
completed the official count, but tax
ing the official and unofficial returns
the republicans on joint ballot will
have a majority OF eight, six in the
senate and two in the house. The
senate will consist of 16 republicans
and 10 democrats, and the house of
81 republicans and 35 democrats and
fusionists, the latter "Heinzeites."
The following table shows the COM
position of the two bodies:

PERRoLAZ NOT GUILTY OF IN.
JURlNG THE JAIL.
HELD ON MINOR CHARGE
Remaining lnformations Dismissed
Three Arrests for Simple Jail
Breaking, a Misdemeanor.

Although several bars. were cut and
other damage vas done to the Jail at
the time the dozen or more prisoners
escaped from that institution, it has
been found impossible to convict any
of the men who were implicated. Two
have been tried and acquitted and on
motion of the county attorney the in
formations against the others have
been dismissed.
Yesterday Louis Perrolaz was
placed on trial. In addition to the tes-
timony OF the officers, Frank La Pont,
n of the prisoners who escaped with
him, testified for the prosecution. He
related a conversation he had with
Perrolaz in which the latter is al
legged to have told him of the part he
took in saving and breaking at least
one of the bars.
In behalf of the defense Buckley,
Griffin and the two Parkinsons testi-
fed. They denied all knowledge as
to who cut the bars. They solemnly
asserted that they were playing cards
at the time and did not know who
made the holes in the two windows
through which the men got away.
Griffin and the Parkinsons said that
all they knew was that an opening
had been made and they had awaited
themselves of it to go.
AS the law provides that no per-
son shall be convicted on the unsup-
ported testimony of an accomplice, the
jury gave Perrolaz the benefit of the
doubt and returned a verdict of not
guilty.
On motion of the county attorney the
charge against the others was dis
missed, as he said the only testimony
he had against them was the same as
had been offered in the case of West
and Perrolaz. He also moved a dis
missal of the information against La
Pont, who was awaiting trial for burg
larry. Last July he and George Miller
were arrested for robbing the house
of Corbley Iams. Miller was tried
during the October term and sentenc-
ed to two years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
Three Are Held.
Although acquitted of the charge OF
injuring a public Jail, Perrolaz, La
Pont and Griffin are not yet out of the
woods.
Breaking Jail is a misdemeanor un-
der the state law and is punishable
as such by a fine OF Imprisonment in
the county Jail. AS it has been clear
~ proved that they broke Jail, County
Attorney Harris has filed complaints
against the three in the Justices
court. La Pont will be tried before
Judge Fraser and the other two before
Judge Mann. All three were rear
rested Immediately after their dis
charge, which, had they been convict
ed, would have sent them to the peni-
tertiary.

uoRE ruNNELs uNpER TIE HUDSON

The Tribune was able to print recently
gratifying piece Of news regarding the Lacka-
wanna Railroad Company. Steps have been
taken at Albany to secure the privilege of
tunnelling the Hudson so that access may be
gained to this city without a resort to ferry
boats. So long have the patrons of the lines
which now have Terminals on the New-JeUsey
shore been obliged to endure the Inconvenience
Of the present transfer system that they are
pretty well Injured to it. When the nuisance is
once removed. though they win wonder at their
own patience in the past and rejoice heartily
over the reform.
The purposes of the LackaWanna should cause
no establishment. In the days when the project
Of a railway bridge across the Hudson was fire.
Quently under discussion 1t was customary to
assume that all Of the roads doing q suburban
business in New-Jersey would make use of It.
All the estimates OF the revenue TO be derived
from the structure were based on that suppo
sltiOn. Hence the Pennsylvania scheme for
entering NeT-YOrk was novel in two pArticu-
lars. The company proposed not only to go
under the river instead of over It. hut also to
have monopoly Of the facilities which 1t was
about to create. The Long Island road and
New-Haven system are feeders. not rivals, and
are to be accommodated accordingly; but nome
OF the lines which compete with the PennsyI-
vania will be privileged 10 bring their trains to
the great underground station in Thirty Fourth
ST. Hence II was not unreasonable to expect
action at an early day by the LacKawanna and
Erie companies. either separately or in cOmbi-
nation. and it now appears that they are CO.
operating. One will take the lead In construct
Ing an Independent tunnel. but both are likely
to get the benefit of IT,
The saving Of time and trouble TO the COM
mutTr which will result from uninterrupted
transit to this city is so great an advantage
tina; imitation OF the Pennsylvania policy Is
almost necessity. Prolonged neglect TO follow
suit could not fail 10 affect the traiie receipts
boz The other transportation companies. The
