USE DYNAMITE IN JAIL.
Jersey Gang Makes Desperate At
tempt to Escape at SomerUitIe.
[Br telegraph to The Tribune !

BY Telegraph to The Tribune
Somerville N J.. Sept. "a - The notorious
Hack Lahey gang made a second attempt to
escape from the Somerset County Jail by blow
ing out the wall in the corridor of the jail with
dynamite this evening
William Moore, a special watchman. was pa
trolling outside of the Jail at the time of the
explosion. An aperture four feet square sud
denly opened in the three foot brick wall of the
prison directly above Moore's head. Moore was
so close to the wall that the great mass of brick
and debris blown from the wall passed over him
and was scattered for distance of one hundred
feet about the Jail yard.
Immediately after the explosion Hack La
hey and two of his companions crowded partly
through the hole in the wall. Moore fired at
the first head that appeared and the three pris-
oners hastily drew back and dropped to the floor
OF the corridor uninjured.
The noise of the explosion was heard for half
q mile. Deputy Sheriff Anderson who was in
his office in front of the Jail rushed to the cell
room armed with shotgun and held the pris-
oners until the arrival of County Detective Tot
ten, after which the prisoners were forced into
their cells at the point of revolvers. while
Moore stood guard at the hole IN the wall.
There were twenty-six prisoners in the jail in
a riotous mood and it was with great difficulty
that the officers quelled the disturbance Ander-
son and Totten soon were reinforced pS l'Gdi
policemen and posse of several hundred cit
izens and the prisoners were forced into tnelF
cells
Hack" Lahey, Red Harrington and James Re
gan made a desperate attempt to escape from
the Jail at o'clock one morning about three weeks
ago. In some mysterious manner they got out
of their cells in the night. dug through wall to
the west corridor and were prying open an outer
door of the corridor when they were detected by
Moore who drove them back to their cells with
his revolver.
Lahey, Harrington and Regan have since been
kept in close confinement, and only allowed the
freedom of the corridor for thirty minutes each
evening. 1t was at this time tonight that the
exnIosion occurred. 1t is believed that. dyna-
mite or nitroglycerine was used by the des-
perados. and that it was probably carried into
the tail by tramps who have recently been COM
rnitted

A YEARS JUNGLE KILLINGS
of wild Beasts in british
India.

Year by year records are published Of the
destruction OF human and cattle life by the
wild beasts and snakes OF British India.
Last year 2,576 human beings and &C. 226
cattle we're killed, and OF the people .S27
deaths were attributed to snakes. while Of
the cattle $1,000 were killed by wild beasts,
panthers being charged with $4,000 Of this
total; snakes accounted for 10000. And this
is but trifng percentage Of the actual
annual mortality, as 1t excludes the feuda-
tory states, with their 10000 square miles
and 100000 inhabitants, where no records
are obtainable.
Last year 1,2S5 tigers, 1870 panthers and
leopards, 1000 bears and 2,OS6 wolves were
killed; Of snakes-the real scourge OF India
no record is possible, and unfortunately
comparatively few are destroyed.
The descent upon promising crops by deer
and pigs and monkeys would be even more
serious to India and more expensive to the
natives were 1t not for the tiger. panther
and leopard. This formidable trio Of the cat
family practically police agricultural India
where 1t pushes into the Jungle and makes
It possible for the poor native to exist
through cultivation OF his fields.
Undoubtedly the depredations Of the tiger
are overestimated, because It is so feared
that wherever 1t prowls invariable panic
spreads widely to its discredt.
Panthers are holder in attack, more active
and more generally vicious than tigers yet
they inspire nothing like such awe among
the natives. Indeed, I have seen natives
rally to the defense OF a dog, of which
leopards are particularly fond when had
the intruder been a tiger they would have
been paralyzed into inaction by very fear
