Escape OF Hall and Campbell.

The two horse thieves who escaped
jail last Friday afternoon have good
family names-Jeremiah Hall and
Lawrence Campbell.
Hall was son of Joseph Hall, local
preacher, formerly of. Allegheny twp.
and has relatives in and is well
acquainted with that section; Campbell
is a SON of VIM Campbell who for.
years had the store at Glade Mills
The two men are old criminals, have
served time and are desperate.
Sheriff Campbell has offered reward
of $500 for their apprehension, and the
man who gets close to them had better
cover them with gun as they are said
to have made threats.
Hall is about so years of age, six feet
tall. 100 pounds, sandy mustache, hair
partly gray and has one injured eye.
At the time of his escape he wore
dark suit, and he lost his hat near the
Jail
Campbell is about 45 years, five feet
ten inches, about 175 pounds, front
teeth filled with gold, wore gray suit
and soft hat.
The circumstances of their escape are
about as follows
A witness in one OF the .Lyndora
liquor cases (Dr. Minteer's) and who
had himself been in Jail on the charge
of selling liquor without license,
wanted or pretended that he wanted,
to talk with man named Bliweiss re-
! garding some information in the case.
His name is Leisering, he is a phar-
macist and he had been in charge OF the
Minteer drug store in Lyndora. He
met Deputy Sheriff Vorous Immediately
after dinner, and secured his permission
TO see Bliweiss, through the bars OF the
cage in which works the dummy
elevator, used to feed the prisoners
The girl left him through the iron
door, leading to the cage and closed and
locked it and was to have left him out
when he knocked. Leisering called for
Bliweiss and had talk with him, then
called for Hall and Campbell, with
whom he had Jail acquaintance, and
had a talk with them. Campbell and
Hall then went to the second story,
where the door was, in some manner,
opened for them, crawled down the
dummy waiter to where Leisering was
and concealed themselves on either side
of the door. Leisering knocked. the
girl unlocked the door and the two
desperate criminals burst out, knocking
her over. Leisering came last and she
grabbed him, but seeing she had the
wrong man left him go. locked the door
and went to the sheriff's Office with him
to announce the escape. The prisoners
ran down the alleys north of the Jail to
Bluff ST. and then up Bluff to the
woods north of town. They were
promptly pursued. but without success,
and they are supposed to have headed
for the Allegheny river at sor1e point
between Bradys Bend and Foxburg.
All the bridges have been watched
since the escape. Hall is an old lumber
man and is well acquainted with the
woods Of the northeastern part of this
county and also of Clarion and Forest
counties.
Deputy Sheriff Vorous Immediately
upon his return from the woods
made information gainst Leisering for
aiding and abetting prisoners to escape,
and arrested him and put him in jail;
and he has since had hearing and has
been held for Court.
Nothing reliable has as yet been
heard Of the escaped prisoners

POLITICAL.

Butler has been the scene OF two
political meetings this week.
On Tuesday evening Homer Castle,
Prohib. candidate for Governor with
Mr.. Kerr and Mr.. Hoffman. spoke in
the Court House; and Mr.. Castle &c
cused Mr.. Emery Of the same practices.
for which he is denouncing the Standard
Oil Co. and rang all the changes ne pos
sibly could on the alleged remark OF
Mr.. Emery, in which he is said to have
referred to schools. churches, hospitals
and breweries in the same sentence.
Yesterday evening. Mr.. Emery, Mr.
BLACK. Mr.. Kline and Mr.. Gilkison
appeared on the stage OF the opera
house; and spoke to the large crowd that
assembled in 1t.
The greater part of the talk was Ct
political history that has been gone over
time and again; and Mr.. Emery told OF
his opposition to the methods OF the
ring or machine politicians when he
was a member of the State Senate
many years ago, and also Of his oppos-
ing the methods of the Standard Oil
Co. in business-promising. with a
friendly legislature, to better conditions
II elected.
Candidate Stuart and party are due
in Butler on Friday evening, October
5th.
."I am ready for the battle" said
Candidate Stuart, in his speech ut Phil
adelphia, last week. II have made no
deals or promises Nor has any man or
set of men the right to make deals for
me. II am elected governor the only
master will recognize will be the
people Of Pennsylvania. If there are
those who think otherwise. I now give
them warning and they can throw their
support elsewhere" Stuart took up the
planks Of the platform adopted in the
Harrisburg convention. Il am the can
didats Of the Republican party" said
he, 'sand stand unreservedly on the
platform. pledge my word to see that
the provisions OF its planks are enacted
into laws"
An amusing feature of the local cam
paign in Philadelphia, last week, was
the declinatlon by John c. Bell Of the
nomination for District Attorney, and
the urging by Senators Penrose and Nc
Nichol Of p. F. Rothermel, who
prosecuted Quay, to take the nomina-
tion Bell had declined.
Saturday. Oct. Q, is the last day on
which those who desire to vote at the
coming election can pay taxes. All

" tax within two years should do 80
before that date.
At Philadelphia. Tuesday. Francis L.
Robbins Of Pittsburg was unanimously
elected chairman of the Republican
Campaign Advisory Committee, which
consists OF II members selected by the
candidates on the State ticket. While
this committee will give all possible as
sistance to Chairman Andrews and the
