WEATHER FORECAST

Local rain tonight and Tuesday, cooler in South portion.

Morax the French bicycler, beat John S. Johnson the celebrated American rider in two heats in a big race at Paris Sunday. The course was 2,000 meters or about a mile and a quarter, a meter being 39.87 .inches. 15,000 spectators were present and the French were of course delighted. Johnson wa" not in the best of condition and his trainer, Tom Eck, says he can beat the Frenchman.

THERE was & big election last week that did not make much noise. Grover.Cleveland, by his little civil service ballot, alejted about 30,000 Government employes as office holders for life. The majority of these no doubt are Democrats who have recently been inducted into office without previous experience or er^ examination as to fitness. This about completes the great civil service reform movement as it embraces in all 85,135 places to be filled by examinations. These people are not now dependent upon big bosses or little bosses for their positions and hence will not shell out very liberally lor campaign purposes. It will remove lso a great source of corruption from American politics as the spoils to be delived from 85,135 offices was something that thoroughly aroused political parties and too of ton made vicf try the chief a" a whether attained by fair means or fori. The civil service list has been growing. President Grant instituted competitive examinations in 1873 but the spoils congressmen refused to appropriate money for the expenses and ths plan failed. It was parried oq however to a limited extent by Presidents Hayes, Garfield and

The spoils system ha« gone never tq return in National politics. Now if the number of officials should be cat down about half, a large expense would be saved and ,thefe would still be a sufficient number to do the work.

JAIL DELIVERY.

laraa Prisoners C$eap* From the fall Where Seott Jackson Is Confined. CINCINNATI, May 18.—There was a daring jail delivery"at ihe Newport jail shortly after 7:30 o'clock Saturday night. Seven prisoners escaped by sawing through the rusty hinges holding the door at the rear of the building. Their names are as follows: John Mulvey, Shike, alias Collis McKee, Charles, alias Red Warner, and Albert Mullins. These fqur men were all bound over to the grand jury, charged with grand larceny. Henry Russell/serving a six months', sentence for petit larceny. William Quinn, alias O'Brien, and James Collard, alias Morris, both bound ovei to the grand jury, charged with larceny.

During the time that the prisoners were making good their escape Jackson and Walling were conversing in the corridor, but neither made the slightest attempt to get out. They were seen afterward by a reporter. Jackson was asked if he saw what was going on, and said that he did not. "Had you known it, would you have gone out was asked. "Certainly not," he replied, moat emphatically. "I do not intend to leave this place until I can go as a free man."

When Walling was asked why he did not go he simply replied that he did not want to. Both took the matter very coolly.

Besides these two prisoners there is another locked up on a charge of murder, who refused to embrace the opportunity to escape. He is Philip Kane, who is charged with the murder of Oliver Corson on a shantyboat near Brent station last December. He has had one trial, but the jury disagreed and he is waiting another.

Of late the prisoners who escaped have seemed to be in the best of humor, and spent nearly all of the time singing. It is now thought that this was done to deaden the sound of the saw while one of them was at work on the hinges.

There is no doubt that the plot had been hatching for some time, and the leaders were men on whom the prisoners could depend.

After supper Saturday night a neat ruse was adopted to get rid of those prisoners whom they were afraid would inform on them. They agreed to hold a mock trial. Collis McKee sat as judge and his six accomplices as jurymen. George Lewis, a colored bootblack, serving a term for drunkenness, was tried and locked up in his cell, a towel being used for a bolt in such a manner that he could not unfasten it. Three more of the prisoners were put through the same course with alike result. Nothing was thought of it, however, as every new prisoner is done in alike manner.

After the trial all began to sing again, all remaining in the back part of the jail. The sounds began to grow lower after a time, and finally stopped altogether. Not more than 10 minutes had elapsed wlien a lad appeared before Jailer Bitzer, who was seated on the little porch in front of the jail, with the statement that he had seen Red Warner on the street, and the discovery made.

Just in what direction the fugitives went after leaving the jail yard is not known. Mr. Boeckle claims that he saw five of them pass Fifth and Columbia streets together. One of them made the remark, "Let's break away," and two of them started on a run up Columbia street as far as James alley, then tux-ned east and were lost sight of. The other two went down Fourth street toward the Licking river.

The authorities were nonplused over the boldness and daring displayed by the prisoners. Although they had been allowed the freedom of tho corridor, a close watch was kept on them, especially since Jackson and Walling have been in jail. A great deal of skill and cunning was displayed and it will doubtless prove hard to recapture the men. The entire police force was put on the trail and every effort was made to locate some of the missing men. Officers were sent to patrol the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks and to guard the bank of the Licking river, but up to this time none of the prisoners have been captured.

District Attorney Barnes says that even should the prosecution win every point 011 the appeal, Durant could not possibly be execute^ before November or December. The prospects are at the best that the execution will be thrown over into next year. The delay, says Mr. Barnep, is the fault of California's appeal system.

(OYER'S REVENGE.

He. Shoots His Sweetheart's Father and Two Brothers.

HOUSE WRECKED BY DYNAMITE.

The Demon Then Makes His Escape and Has Not Yet Been Captured—He Confesses to His Father That He Had (Joinmitted the Terrible Crime—Other Evidence of His Guilt.

FREMONT, O., May 18.—There was a terrible tragedy last Friday night one mile east of the village of Lindsay, and about eight miles from this city, in which one man was killed outright and two sons are in such condition that death may result at any moment. The deed was committed about midnight, and evidently was well planned. At this hour the family of Jacob Hess were aroused by an explosion of dynamite which shattered their home, but no one was injured. Mr. Hess and his two sons immediately prepared to leave jthe house to ascertain the cause, and they had hardly stepped out when, a fhob was fired and the old gentleman dropped over dead. Another shot and Alvin, his son, fell pierced in the breast by ai quantity of a buckshot. Some of th® shot also hit Rutherford, another son, but it is thought that he is not fatally wounded. After the shooting the fiend escaped.

The neighborhood was soon aroused, and a determined party of farmers started a search for the murderer and dynamiter. Suspicion pointed to Lewis Billow, son of a well-to-do farmer named Jacob Billow. It is said that Billow Saturday morning confessed to his father that he had tried to blow up Hess' house, and then killed Mr. Hess. After the alleged confession, and before the searching party had reached his house, he escaped, and has not been seen since.

After telling his father of his terrible crime, he went to the barn and there had a quarrel with his brothers. Finally he pulled a revolver and threatened to shoot them. He then left.

Billow is 25 years of age. He has long been a suitor for the hand of Cora, the 24-year-old daughter of Hess, but his attentions met with serious objections from her parents. He at one time secured the lady's consent and after procuring the marriage license, proceeded to the minister's parsonage, but the young lady refused to marry him at the last moment. Billow still persisted, but met with such vigorous opposition that lie did not dare to call on his lady love. He became very angry, and vowed dire vengeance. Numerous threats were made by the young man until many shook their heads and predicted trouble. He also threatened to commit suicide.

Friday he borrowed a shotgun of Henry Johnson, a farmer who resides ou the west bank of the river, and Saturday morning he returned the gun about 4 o'clock. The gun shows evidence of having been used. He then borrowed a boat to cross the river and went home. It is thought that his unlucky love affair so worked on his mind that he became crazed.

Mr. Hess was about 55 years of age and wras a respected farmer. Alvin Hess will hardly live.

The sheriff and a posse of men are still after Billow. RIOT AT A BALL GAME.

Six Persons Shot and a Number of Others Injured. HAZELTON, Pa., May 18.—Six persons were shot and a number of others seriously injured during a riot at Macadoo, a town four miles from here, yesterday afternoon. Tho injured are: Joseph Ward, shot in knee Thomas Kairns, shot in arm James Muldowney, finger blown off Burke Brennan, shot in shoulder James Brennan, shot in arm Mary Burke, shot in back Antonio Rizzo, nose broken Mrs. Rose Viechio, scalp wound.

A game of base ball was in progress when a gang of drunken Italians charged upon the players and spectators with revolvers, clubs and stones. Saturday night an Italian had been arrested for assault and battery. A number of young men took him from the constable and unmercifully beat hiin. The Italians, hearing of this, threatened revenge. They fulfilled their threat yesterday. The first inning had just been finished when there was a pistol shot. It was followed in a few minutes by a promiscuous discharge of firearms.

The crowd attempted to /un away, but the Italians chased them, discharging their pistols and throwing stones. The foreigners were almost mad with rage and blazed away incessantly until the police arrived. Several of the Italians were arrested and more will be taken into custody. Ward, who was catcher for tho Macadoo club, is the most seriously injured. He is lying in a hospital in a critical condition.

BURIED IN SAND.

Repeated Avalanches of Earth Entomb Two Men, Killing One. COLUMBUS. O., May 18.—At Baker's Hill, three miles from town, Louis Daum and Henry Deibel were digging sand in a 15-foot excavation. There was a cavein, and some three wagouloads of sand fell on Daum, who laughed at finding himself standing in sand up to his knees. Deibel started to help his friend, when a second cave-in knocked him over and buried Daum to the waist.

Deibel had grabbed Daum by tho arms, when a third avalanche of sand buried Daum from sight and half buried Deibel. He managed to free himself and to brush the sand from Damn's face. A moment later a monster bulk of #,1 let go from above, slid down, and overwhelmed both. After a long struggle Diebel got out in safety, just- before tho fifth cavo-in occurred. Damn lay buried beneath 50 tons of sand. Two hours later his body was recovered.

pu re«|nc iKiuiy Hurt In Chicago. CHICAGO, May 18.—An explosion of gas, which occurred Saturday night in water tunnel being built from Chicago to the lake crib, injured six people and endangered the lives of many more. The injured are: Thomas Conley, 2.1 -Mike Slattery, iW William Henry, 26 Owen Houuessy, 30 Cormack Malloy, 32, and Henry Doughery, 34 yeais. All of thfr moil were working in the tunuel at tho time of the accident, and, while all were painfully injured it is not expected

that any of theiu will die.
