worst characters are Hermann and
Kelly, both Of whom are under four
year sentences in the penitentiary.
Owing to the railway blockade these
men have not yet been taken to Sa
lem and they sought to get away in
the meantime. While they were in the
city jail recently they broke through
a grated window and got into the coal
shed adjoining the city Jail before they
were caught by Officer Kearney. How
the prisoners came into possession of
the saws is a mystery. but they were
evidently slipped to them by parties on
the outside.

spection of the Jail
-UIon looking about he found that a
section OF the upper cell had been cut
through and was merely left in place
until night would permit of the break
being made. Four small bars had been
sawed through, while two more had
been bent and broken off. The hole
made was of sufficient size to allow an
ordinary man to crawl through and it
was just beside the place where an
other bunch OF prisoners cut through
a year ago when Weddel and others
escaped.
On inspecting the windows the
sheriff found that one bar had been
saved Two thirds through, while an
other was cut half in two. However
the windows have been strengthened
since the last Jail break and the priso-
ners would have had to cut through
several more bars of iron before they
could have gotten away.
Upon searching the cells, four small
,pieces were found by the officers. but
nothing could be found to fasten the
attempt upon any particular prisoner
or prisoners.

upper cells last night and five in the

LECTURES IN PHRENOLOGY.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted Mrs. Jean Morris Ellis, the
noted phrenologist and physiognomist,
at the Christian church last night.
Mrs Ellis lecture was brimful of
bright practical and wholesome
thoughts and kept the audiences atten-

It is evident that the lecturer is
thoroughly posted in her profession and
showed by her demonstrations that she
was able to read a persons character
almost at a glance.
The lecture dealt principally with
the different occupations and profes-

shaped heads.
