COrnicc Ripped.

New London, Dec. 27.-At the height of the gale yesterday after noon, the heavy metal cornice sur mounting the State street front of the main building of the Mohican hotel was ripped from it's fasteningS for a distance of fifty feet and for a time the hanging portion of the cornice seriously jeopardized the lives of pc destrians Employees of the hctel ascended to the roof and threw ropes over the parapet which were fastened about the dividing pillars of the win dows below, thus preventing the cor nice from falling to the street. Io- lice guarded the street until the cor nice was roped in and made compara- lively safe. x
 The high wind drove the water out of the slip of the New London Groton ferry on the Groton side and for four hours the ferryboat Gov. Winthrop was unable to make a landing, final
 ly succeeding on the fourth attempt This is said to be the first occurrence of the kind in the history of the ferry.

TWO PRISONERS MAKE
 ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Tear Out Piece of Wall in Fairfield County Institution and Gain
 Their Freedom.

Newton, Dec. 27.-Sheriff Pease. of Fairfield County, with @ force of men are in this section today securing tho towns of Trumbull, Hawleyville, and the entire vicinity from Bridgeport to Danbury for trace of two prisoners who last night broke out of the county jail on the outskirts of Bridge port. The men who escaped are AL fred Martin, son of Bridgeport physician, who was to be released in June and then taken to New Haven for the authorities there, and Frank Carmalina, who was serving a three year sentence for theft.
 It was stated that the men tore out a piece of wall in the jail, made their way to the roof of the boiler room and gained freedom by a fifteen foot drop over the jail wall outside They evidently took advantage of the ab- sence of the roundsmen, as Watchmen Houlihan of Newtown and Roscoe of Southport had just visited the section where the men were held.
 Sheriff Pease was confident that some trace of thaAvhereabouts of the escaped men would be found and possibly arrests made by nightfall.
