Sensational Escape Of Man Being Held
Under Serious Charges.

One Of the most daring Jail breaks
that ever occurred in Maine was con-
summated sometime during Thursday
morning at the county Jail in this city.
when Eugene Carroll Ordway, being
held for the grand Jury an Il serious
charge. sawed the heavy iron bars from
window on the top story of the Jail.
and with rope made of blankets,
lowered himself to the ground dis
lance of 60 feet, and made good his
escape.
Ordway is noted crook and was
wanted for various crimes in several
states, as well as in every large city
in Maine. lie was a forger and con-
fidcnce operator and last spring
PASSED spurious checks on hotels in
Gardiner. Augusta and Waterville. In
the latter city the man was arrested
and on April 5 committed to Jail to
await the action of the grand jury
which meets in September. The man
was not q troublesome prisoner and
had but one visitor, an old man who
called at the Jail several times. and
who visited Ordway in his cell
Wednesday,
escape received by the officials at the
Jail was when a prisoner, who is en-
ploycd inside the Jail as "trusty
and assistant to the turnkey dis
covered early Thursday morning that
Ordway was not in his cell. The
officials of the institution were notified
and search of the building was made.
In a large cell OH the upper tier a suit
of clothing such as is worn by the
prisoners was found A large iron
bar had been sawed out of one of the
windows and from this window was
hung long rope made of blankets
which had been stripped from the
beds in the cell. How Ordway gained
entrance to this cell is not known, for
he was confined in another cell He
literally sawed his way out of the Jail.
and Sheriff Ham is inclined to think
that he had assistance from the out
side.
Sheriff Ham went to Togus early in
the forenoon and during the day inter-
viewed the old man who called on Ord
way Wednesday, Sheriff Ham was
convinced that this man had nothing
to do with Ordway's escape and could
not have furnished him with q saw or
other implement with which to saw
away the bars.
Perhaps he had confederate to
meet him outside and give him clothes.
An alarm was Immediately given and
before night officers in every section
of the State had been notified of the
mans cGCapo.
Although officers all over the State
are searching for Ordway. he had not
been anprehended up to a late hour
last night. The mans description is
as follows:
He is about SO years old. feet. 10
inches in height. smooth appearing. has
dark hair mixed with gray and a mus
taChe trimmed short. -Four upper teeth
show prominently with gold filings.

The following from yesterdays Ban
gor Commercial gives a little light on
Ordway's enterprises in that city:
"Ordway, a few months ago, was in
trouble i'm Bangor on account of pass
ing checks which were found to be
worthless when presented for payment
He was under arrest here but managed
to dig up the coin to settle the matter
and was not prosecuted. He passed Il
check on Frank w. Durgin of the
Windsor hotel in payment of an old
bill and Mr.. Durgin. having Il SuSpi-
cion that all was not right telcgraphed
to New Haven to & bank in that citv
on which the check WA; drawn and
found that Ordway had no account
there.
"Thc matter was turned over to the
local poll and brdway was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff O'Donohue and Pa
troman Knaide in the PenobsCot Elk
change. ordway WAS indignant at be
ing subjected to arrest and made Il
lot of cheap talk to the police while
they were Investigating the case but
WAS obliged to settle.
"On going from the police station he
passed another check of the same kind
On another firm and skipped the town.
He was next heard from at August
where he carried on the same game and
was placed under arrest and bound
over for trial in September. Ordway
is smooth artist and is said to have
a record along that line. The local po-
lice still have a case against him"

OUR PRESIDENT
HAS RETURNED

Washington, Nov. 20 Completing
a remarkable trip to Panama, during
which he travelled several thousand
miles by steamer, when he visited not
only the isthmus but Porto Rico as
well, voicing his enjoyment of the en-
tire trip, President Roosevelt returned
to Washington Monday night. The
trip up the Potomac on the converted
yacht May flower, to which he and his
party were transferred from the Louis
lana at Piney Point in the afternoon,
was made without special incident.
The president landed within 10 min
utes. after the arrival of the May flower.
He stated that he had a delightful
trip and was feeling fine.
Speaking of his trip the president
said:
1--WE have had very pleasant and
very enjoy able time, and | am deeply
impressed with the United States navy
as we'll as with Panama and Porto
Rico.
An unfortunate incident occurred in
the lower Potomac in connection with
the presidents trip up the river. The
yacht Oneida, in the service of the
District of Columbia, naval militia,
and on which were the commanding
officers and others of the militia, had
dropped down the Potomac to Piney
Point to welcome the president, and
was returning, when a gasoline boat
capsized and Melvin b. Cleveland, 10
years of age, of this city, boatswain' s
mate, was drowned. His body had not
been recovered at last accounts.

To Make Harness LAST LONGER.

A little economy, which sometimes means
good many dollars to a man, is the proper
care of harness, carriage-tops, etc. Leather
in daily use, exposed il is to sun and wind
soon becomes dry. hard. inelastic, and un
able to stand strain. Then very likely at the
most unfortunate moment, break occurs and
precious time and money are lost. All this is
easily prevented by a little forethought and
care on the part of the owner. Every one
owning horses should be supplied with a good
leather preservative and a good axle oil
These two things are necessary to the largest
economical use of working outfit, or pleas
ure equipage.
Observation has shown that no oil pene.
trates leather so deeply, and ressts the drying
effects Of sun and wind so well as Eureka
Harness Oil
Neatsfoot and some other inferior oils
sometimes used, easily become rancid, or be,
,ausc Of containing acid, hurt the leather.
Stable men and others posted on the subject,
invariably use Eureka Harness Oil. When
