CONVICT SLABS KEEPER.
Fierce Fight Prevents Daring Jail
Delivery.

NEW YORK. October Pa daring at
tempt to liberate fifteen prisoners from
Harlem Jail was frustrated today, but not
until one keeper had been so severely
beaten that he may die and another suf-
fered a broken arm and serious bruises.
Henry Curtin, prisoner, who had gained
the confidence of the prison officials and
had been permitted unusual liberties about
the prison, is charged with being the leader
of the outbreak and with inficting the in
juries upon the prison guards. Curtin had
been detailed as Waterman on one of
the upper tiers.
AS Edward M. Cuskley. one Of the regu-
lar keepers, reached the third tier on one
Of his half-hourly rounds, Curtin sprarg
head with a wrench. Cuskley fell to the
floor and Curtin ran to the cell of Albert
LANCER, another prisoner, and attempted to
open the door. While he was struggling
with the lock the keeper recovered con-
seriousness and attacked Curtin from be-
hind. A fierce fight for possession of the
wrench followed.
The keeper called for help while the pris-
oners jeered at him and cheered Curtin on.
Cuskley was gradually getting the upper
hand when suddenly Curtin drew back and
whipping out long knife drove 1t twice
into the keepers side, and then pounded
him on the head with the wrench.
BY this time John Ford, another keeper.
had appeared in response to Cuskley's cries
and he closed with Curtin. Ford was the
victor, but his arm was broken in the strug-
gle Cuskleys condition Is critical. The
officials of the Jail say 1t was Curtin's plan
to release all the men on the upper tier
after the keepers had been overcome.

RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.
Denominational Fight Over English
Education Bill.

LONDON. October 25.-The crucial stage
OF the educational bill was reached today
when the motion came before the House of
Lords for detailed debate. Unless the peers
should elect after preliminary skirmsh to
postpone consideration of the bill until a
judicial decision is rendered upon the aues-
ton OF the liability of local educational
bodies for the expenses of religious educa-
ton the upper house is likely to be the
scene for some time to come of the bitterest
legislative fight witnessed in parliament in
recent years.
The bill bristles with contentious points,
but the main Issue centers on the clauses
relating to religious instruction. The lib
erals are pledged that there shall be no de-
nominational teaching at the public ex-
pense. while the unionists. under the leader
ship of great church dlgnitaries. both
Church of England and Catholic. are out
wardly as unarerably determined to so
amend the bill that children Of parents be-
longing to these churches shall have de-
nominational religious instruction during
school hours. The general belief Is that the
controversy will ultimately end in some sort
OF compromise. The debate Is expected to
last three weeks.

FRENCH CHAMBERS MEET.
Session Perfunctory, New Cabinet Not
Present.

PARIS. October 25.-The French parlia-
ment reassembled at o'clock this after
noon. The sessions were robbed of all in
terest owing to the fact that the new cab
met was unable to present itself. Premier
Clemenceau having previously officially adj
vised the presidents Of the chambers that
the ministerial declaration would not be
ready for several days. Consequently the
sessions of the senate and chamber Of dep
uties were brief and perfunctory and both
chambers adjourned until November s. The
only business transacted was the appoint
ment by the senate of commission to con-
slider the proposition to transfer the ashes
Of Emile lola to the Pantheon.
Among the diplomats present in the cham
Der of deputies was Ambassador McCor-
mick. Both President Brisson and Presi-
dent Dubost, in calling their respective
chambers to order. made feeling references
to the national bereavement IN the loss of
the submarine boat Lutin and her crew of
two officers and fourteen men off Bizerta,
Tunis.

PEOPLES BANK DIRECTORS Ar
RANGING FOR THE FUTURE.

The directors Of the Peoples Savings

1t is the intention Of the members of the
board to use every effort to reopen the

they are in a position to be able to do so,
and also that their patrons will welcome
such a step on their part and lend to them
their friendly aid.

their companions were killed. doing we'll
at the Cambria Hospital. and no more
deaths are expected.
Today is being spent by the officials of
the mine and the mine inspector of the dis
trict. Josiah T. Evans, in investigating the
disaster. Up to the present everything
points to the fact that the explosion result
ed from the ignting of a pocket of gas
through firing shot by Sampson Louther.
Iouther was regarded as one of the best
firers in this section. and no carelessness is
charged to him, as the fire boss had report
ed the heading free OF gas. On the bodies
OF the dead men were found no matches.
tobacco or other evidence of infraction Of
the rules, while each of the seven had a
safety lamp in good working condition.
1t is now apparent that the death of the
whole seven was due to the after damp fol-

RUSSIAN FINANCES.
No New Loan Is Being Contemplated
Now.


ST. PETERSBURG, October 25.-Regard-
ing the repeated rumor that the governn1ent
Is contemplating the issue of another loan,
the Associated Press was authoritatively in
formed that no loan. foreign or domestic. is
contemplated. except the internal loan to
be issued about December 1 in order to bal
ance the budget on the new year.
The amount Of this loan has not been
definitely fixed. as the extent Of the deficit
hat not yet been ascertained. The receipts
up to the present time have been $62. 600, 900
above the budget estimae. but the figures
of the excess expenditures are not avail
able. except the Increase Of $35, 100000 for
famine relief. $4,000. 900 Of which has been
covered by various economics.
Among tho considerable factors in the
excess expenditures over the estimates
was covering the transportation Of troops
on account Of the internal disorders and
naval construction. The comparative tran
guilty Of the country is reflected on the
bourse where prices yesterday touched the
highest point since August 1, imperial fours
closing at TN and fves at IS. They fell
slightly today ON realixations. Prices have
been steadily rising since September g.
when the low ponds. 691s and 80A. were
