[Correspondence

GAZETTE.]—Last

night

the people were entertained by a young man of Terre Haute, Otto C. Carr, who delivered a temperance lecture which so surprised and delighted the people that great favor is now shown to him, where before he was only as a stranger. Mr. Carr is a young man of rare ability, and will some day take his place among the best men of our country. He is engaged in a cause which to use his own words—"I know to be right." We sincerely hope there will be an interest aroused, and we think if any one can, he certainly will. We congratulate your place for sending out such young men.

ATrEMPT TO ESCAPE.

Prisoners in the Jail make an Unsuccessful Attempt to Escape Saturday ..,-p Afternoon. A

FromMonday'e daily

A peculiar noise was heard issuing from the upper cell of the oounty jai several times late Saturday afternoon. Jailer Delane entered the cell addressing one of the men, Green Brad, asked him the meaning of the noise. Brad said that preparations were being made by tbe prisoners to escape and gave details of the scheme. Brad was locked in a cell and Jailer Delane and Sergeant Dwyer who was at the jail, went up to the cage where the prisoners were confined. They demanded that the prisoners get in their cells. They refused to obey the command and were very obstinant until two were floored. The cage was carefully examined and an upper hinge on one of the cell doors was found to be broken off. The men intended in the night to use the hinge in working through or breaking the castings of the immense cage door and then proceed to the lower cage and work through the wall, The plan was a poor one and could not have succeeded.

The prisoners who were implicated in the scheme afe: Wm. Needham, larceny Tom Braden, larceny Milton Ackman, larceny H. H. Bohanan, "the sleek preacher," larceny Chas. Smith, sentenced for two years for robbery and Alexander Groves, larceny.
