place is surrounded to prevent: his escape, and that he said he would not be taken alive. Chief Baines proceeded at once to uncertain if the report was true, and if; so he would go out there with a. posse of lzolunteem and Detroit officers to capture 1m. There is very little doubt but that the jail delivery to-day was all planned in ad- venoe, as a. round hole was out in one of the window panes in a window of the out- side wall directly in front of O‘Gellaghan’s cell some time last night, and a revolver placed therein, which he took and secreted as soon as he was let out of the cell into the ocriidor this morning, It is sup- posed that some person must have climbed over the wall surrounding the jail yard during the night and out the hole with a. diamond, placed the revolver there, and climbed out again. About dusk this evening a report was circulated that O'Cellaghan was in a place called Pelton’s Bush; fignr miles east of Windsor, on the Genefi1‘SOuthern_Bsilwey, and that the When it became noised about at the wharf that one of Leach’s murderers had been arrested a large crowd gathered and became wild with excitement. Cries of “ Lynch him 1”” Lynch him i" were heard on every side, and for a time it was a question whether another tragedy would not be enacted. Kennedy was cool and (logged when first arrested, and refused to have anything to say, but when the crowd gathered about and threats of lynching became general he shook like an aspen leaf and clung to he officers for protection. At the lockup he claimed he was not responsible for the murder. Kennedy claims that Callaghan was severely wounded during the shooting in the jail, that when they reached the buggy at the Catholic church he was too weak to walk further. He assertsOallaghan is so badly injured that he will die from his wounds, it not captured, but the officers take no stock in what he says, as they helieVe he is trying to shape matters in such a way as to giVe his accomplice time to escape. The discovery has been made that a hole was out in the window with a diamond, and it is concluded a confederate scaled the prison wall on Saturday night or early Sunday morning and placed the revolver on the inside sill of the window through the aperture. It is said several suspicious characters have been seen hanging about Sandwich jail for several days past. The other prisoners in jail did not seek to escape. Davis, the wounded turnkey. was out of his head at last accounts, but the doctor thinks he will eventually recover. Sheriff Iler has ofiered a reward of 8500 for the capture of Callaghan, and volunteer patrolman have been placed on guard along the river to see that he does not escape to the other side. Kennedy, of the Harrow burglars who took part in the jail delivery at Sandwich this morning. was captured on board the Walkerville ferry boat just about to cross to Detroit. He had procured a suit, sup» posed to be an old suit belonging to a rail- road man or some cf the men employed in the cattle sheds at Messrs. Walker & Sons. O‘Callaghan, the man who shot Jailer Leech. is still at large. supposed to be in or around the outskirts of Windsor or Walkerville. The country is being scoured by the whole Windsor Police Force and citizens of Sandwich, Windsor and Walker- ville, assisted by a large number of farmers. It is claimed by Kennedy that Jailer Leech shot O‘Gallaghan and that O‘Gallag- ban was shot by Jailer Leech, and when Kennedy and O‘Cailaghan parted between Windsor and Walkerville that O‘Callaghan was so weak from loss of blood that he could go no further, and that he crawled over aboard fence into a yard and was pro- bably dead, but although a thorough search has been made, no trace has been found of him up tg‘ 5 p.m. The manner of the delivery was as lollows, as near as can be ascertained: The jailer and turnkey were standing at the corridor door while one of the prisoners was sweeping out the cells,~ and O‘Gallaghan rushed at the door and pushed it open so suddenly and with such force as to knock the jailer and turnkey down, and then came out into the corridor and was shot by Jailer Leech; then he turned and fired two shots at the jailer. killing him instantly. He then got the keys and passed them into the other our- ridor to Kennedy, who unlocked the door and came out into the corridor and knocked the turnkey down, and pounded him with cbcttle which was sitting on the stove. The two then walked into the passageway leading to the street. one carrying the revolver, the other the bottle. The matron gave the alarm and parties saw them going away, but could not capture them. The deputy turnkey followed them up to Wind- sor. where he went to the police station to get help. * Christianity Gaining Ground In the lien-I of Mormonism.

Mrs. Gilkison, of Manor Place. who was in excellent health the previous evening, complained of a. head- ache on aweking in the morning, but nothing serious was thought of it, though she remained in bed longer than usual. At 9 30 her son entered her room and found his mother quite dead. It; is a. pain- ful coincidence that Mr. Gilkison, a. short time after his arrival in Dunedin, died also very suddenly. Mrs. Gilkieon was a. daughter of the poet Hogg, the Enhriok Shepherd, and was in her 57m year.” The deceased lady leaves a large family of sons and daughters. “ You went to watch out; for alligators very carefully at first,” was the advice given to a.

Couldn’t Stand to be 1 lvflizcd. Even Exchange No Robbery. Only Want Fresh Arrivals. The Wise Father RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1884‘ At New York he made the acquaintance of Mr. Gould, who, at the Earl’s request, sent Dr. Ennis, the land commissioner of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, all over the West with him, looking for a ranch. His lordship found at Big Spiiogs just what he was looking for, and selected a tract of land twelve miles north of thevillage, where he commenced the erection of a ranch house last August. The house is aplain, un- painted board structure, one and a half stories high, merely comfortable, without ‘any sign of luxury. convenience or decora- tion. It only dil‘fere frtm the ordinary ranch headquarters by bezng plastered and having the walls hung w:th a pretty ‘ t- terned paper of chocolate and gilt. 1' he location is a good one, but there are many 3 just as good and still unoccupied north, south and west of this point. The Earl bought 37,000 acres of land on credit, but so far has no cattle. They say-and by “ they ” I mean the gossips at Big Springsâ€"that he has not money enough to buy cattle, but will secure aherd as soon as his allowance for 1884 is forthcoming. The Earl is a tall, robust, finely formed man of great ‘physical strength ‘and endurance, andfa handsome face. He is fastidious only about his food and dress, and usually wears imuiriof gray corduroys, with the most stunning neckties. that the cowboys try their best to imitate. When he first arrived he was ” guyed ” a good deal by the natives, but took it so gpod-natundly and dropped so readily into the customs of the place that they soon declared him to be a “boss” fellow,” and his popularity is now unbounded, particularly among the cowboys, whose companionship he seeks, and in whose wild and reckless sports he joins with ardor. The feminine portion of the community he studiously avoids. and all attempts to draw him into scciety have failed. He will not look at or speak to a woman, but among the men folks is always a jolly good fellow, fond of a joke or a story, and generally “standing treat ” for the whole population. when he comes to town. The only persons whoever go to the ranch are strangers, who are, politely but dignifiedly received by the, Earl, and cowboys, who are always cor-1 dially welcomed. With them he “lets himself." out as it were, and there isn’t a l man of that calling in the country for a hundred miles around that doesn‘t know 1 his lordship intimately‘and, considers him-v 1 self his best friend? tie rides With‘ them”: along the lines, hunts and shoots Wlthi them, shares their camp fire or cabins for days at a time, does his turn at cooking, ‘ and at night around the camp fire enter- tains them with his adventures in Europe and India, at royal courts and in the jungles. The bronze statue of St. Peter is a very fine one, and I saw men. women and chil- dren walk up to it and kiss the projecting great toe, says a letter from Rome. Same came reverently with prayers and clasped hands, others in a business-like way, and one tall. gray-haired man paused with a prayer at each step from the outer door to the statue, then bowing a moment with the deepest humility, he drew out a clean handkerchief, wiped the toe and reverent-1y pressed his lips upon it, prayed a moment, kissed it again and departed. A little girl who could not reach it with her lips kissed the end of her finger and touched it. We went up to it also. but I fear not very de- votionally, only to see it. The toe is con- siderably worn away, although it has been once or twice renewed, and it is highly polished by the repeated wiping it receives before being kissed. One or two among us touched it with their fingers, but as soon as we were gone from i’. a priest wet it with holy water and wiped off the heretic‘s touch. The cowboys believe him when he tells them that he likes Texas better than London, and proposes to stay here the rest of his life, but the citizens expect that, when his debts are paid and the commo- tion his divorce ease caused dies down, he will return to his estates in England.â€"â€"Big Springs (Tern) Cor. Boston Herald. The 1,300 employees of a large shipyard and. machine factory at Bremen were vac- cinated last summer by order of the police authorities, in consequence of an outbreak of small pox among some of the workmen. Since then nearly 200 of the persons thus incculated have fallen sick with jaundice in a. severe form, and the conclusion is drawn that the disease was imparted through the virus used in vaccination. The circumstances of the case have at- tracted medical attention to an unusual degree. It has been found that none of the persons taken into the employ of the shipyard after last summer's vaccination have fallen sick, while some of those who left the shipyard after being vaccinated and sought employment elsewhere have been attacked by the disease in the same manner as the workmen who remained. It is evident, therefore, that the disease can- not be ascribed to anything in the local surroundings. Doesn’t Chew. A preacher out west, Mr. H., was a. good man, but very rough in his ways, and very much given to chewing tobacco. One day he was rrding horseback through the country when there came upashower.

Iradfi’é know you,” replied the old lady aus- picio_usly. “ But you know whahthe Bxble says.” said the preacher. “ Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawarea.” “ You needn’t. quote the Bible," said the old lady quickly; “ no angel would come down from heaven with a quid o! tobacco in his mouth as you have.” The Lee-S beven son match, for 3200 a. side, will be towed over the Oakland three-mile course. near Sal Francisco, on Tuesday 393%.

They were gathered about the heater in a. large drug store hard by Printing House square, and the speaker, who. notwithstand- ing hie infirmity. has built up 9. large busi< nose in cigars, ,had joined the party not five minutes before. He was a. slender, lithe. muscular man, dressed in perfect taste. I-Blf-pDEEEBwEd, and natural in his mninsr. He carried a. light welkiz g stick in his righthand, moved With the easy grace of aperson in [cgeession of at his seneee. and without the least vestige of the groping uncerteiazy and caution of a. blind man. On careful inspection on ordinary observer would have actioed that his eyes were un- natural, but he turned his head so natu- rally and vivacioualy from one to another in epeakir g, and wiihal behaved so thoroughly like a. person with two good egos in his head. that one could hardly be- leuving two stumps only of the optic nerve. “ Now describe me," said one of the party, it doubts: o! the medical profession. who believed in nothing but tissues and functions, and did not deny that a. men might have a. soul, but averted that neither dissection or experiment had ever furnished any evidence in support of the hypothesis, “ Describe me. and I’ll believe in your brain vision.” The blind man turned his glues eyes towards the sceptic, and answared with the promptitude and absence of hestitancy of one stating a. fact of‘ observation : “ You are dark, with a. very pale, translu- cent, delicate complexion ; dark gray eyes ; hair almost black, with gray streaks about the temples; Greek features out like a cameo; heavily bearded on the upper lip, but elsewhere cleanly shaven. You appear to be 85 years old. You are 0! slight figure, and you wear a dark out away coat. with vest of material the same as the coat; grey trousers, with stripes of different shades; and ascent of pale gold color, confined at the throat by a tilver ring ornamented with a_dog’e_head.” a. picture of scenes, feces, figures end But- roundiuge as I ever had when in the full possession of my senses. And the oddest. thing about it is that my impreur rious generally prove to be correct. You, for example "â€"4131:ng to one of the group â€"“ are of light complexion, tell and slen- der, slightly bald, wiLu blue eyes, pale yeuow hair, and a mu beard slightly dunker. You wear a jammy grey sack coat», of minute plaid, With vest of the same materiu1,and gray wrousers,with narrow empee of different shades. Your scarf is a. red ribbed silk of the Lord Stanley pm tern, with 8. diamond pin." The members of life group, four in all, exo'usiva of the young man with two glass eyes, abated at one another in Unless some kind of cerebral image of surrounding objects were formed. it. was absolutely impossible for the young man to give in detail such an accurate descrip- tion of the medical man, with accessories of dress}, em. “ It is inexplicable," he said musingly. “I have often heard blind man declare that they could see with the anterior portion of the brain, and persons under the full influence of anaestheeis often say that they have seen every movement of the surgeon during the operation, not with their eyes’, but with the middle part of the forehead. But I never took any stock in such assertions, not even enough to teat them.” The blind man went on to tell his story. More than ten years ago, in consequence of an inflammatory sflection, both eyes were enuoleated. He was then 16 years of age. At first he was perfectly bewildered by the loss, but gradually his remaining senses, tact and hearing in particular became marvelloust acute, and so scurate that he could estimate distances and the direction of foreign bodies with the quick- ness and exactitude or vision; while with the tips of his fingers he could discrimi- nate colors and textures with wonderful accuracy. Different colors have difierent temperatures to the trained sense, but he ascribes his delicacy of perception in this respect to an influence the existence of which he had no suspicion until he lost his sight. Gradually, also, a so-oalled new sense was developed. He became abnor- mally sensitive to vibrations in the atmos- phere and in the ground beneath his feet. In this way he was enabled to distinguish footsteps, at incredible distances, on the pavement, and even in buildings a square or more away. He has. with this strange sense, followed the footsteps of aperson for three squares, and heard the person enter a house that distance away, walk up two flights of stairs, and enters. room, dis- tmguishing every movement, pause. and fluctuation of gait, as exactly as though he could see through brick walls. “ It is this pm 01 my brain that I seem to see with," he continued placidly. “ a is not msrely that I know what is going on abuut me, and the relative direction to myself of persons with whom I talk, and of one thing to another. huh I have in this part of the brain juss as distinct and vxvid “ Do you mean to swear.” said the fore- man of the jury to the witness, "that at the time of the quarrel that constitutes the cause of this action, you saw the prisoner with a. cmleeuttle in his hands. making ready to heave it at his wife ?" “Not exactly,” said thewitnees, with ooneideru ble heeitution. "] mean to ewes: that I saw the prisoner with a end-scuttle in his hands.” “ In what attiLuJe was he then ‘I ’ asked the presiding judge. “ Well. now! since your lordship has asked me. I’ll tell the truth. The prisoner was lying down with the coal-scuttle over his head and his wife on the top of it.” The jury returned a verdict of " Not guilty.” ‘ T SEEING \‘VlTflOU’l‘ E YES. A Que-lion oi Evidence. BLAN K ANAHEMENT. The league has made basting even more difficult than before. These who advocated a. change in the betting rules so as to give the batsman greater freedom in hitting, argue that allowing the batsman eix fair balls to strike but instead of three. and call- ing every other fair ball only a. strike, instead of every fair ball as now. the bets- man would be able to punish the swift pitching without difficulty. and the pitchers would have to resort more to strategy for mums: than tomato speed on now. and, in consequence. lively hitting would be added to the fielding attractions of the game. As it is now, however, the proba- bility is that we shall see more than ever those rather tedious trials of speed in the game between the two swift pitchers of the competing tameâ€"New York Sun. One result win be more chance hitting, and smaller batting spores will be made, and the game be made more of a. contest: between two competing batteries than between the two nines as a. whole. In the American Aesooiatian the pitcher is limited to the underhand throw below the shoulder, and he is allowed to pitch seven unfair bulls the batvsman being per- mitted but three fair balls to strike at.“ “ Sealing-wax," 9. ststioner ssid.

The use of gum in the place of sealing-wax was a. seductive appeal to the laziness 0! persons, who eagerly adopted that method because it was quick and handy.

The rapidlty with which intelligence is conveyed from the seat of war in the Soudan is explained by the New York Herald. A cable has for some years been laid in the Red Sea from Aden to Suez and Alexandria, connecting by way of Malta, with the European telegraphic system. On January 29th the British telegraph ship Chiltern picked up the main cable and pro- ceeded to lay a branch line to Suakim. Two days later the wires were in working order. Three weeks ago, by a similar process, tele- graphic communication was opened from Trinkitat, where acorps of couriers is sta- tioned to bring back news from the ad- vancing army. The telegraph line down the Nile to Khartoum, which is still in working order, transmits all the news from Gen.
