Saturday noon Joseph Young andWilliam Blanchard, prisons confinedin the Essex county jail—the formerawaiting the action of the grand juryon a charge of arson committedILaike Placid, and the latter forsauilting an officer—made their escape

, by scaling a fence eleven feet inheight.

Wednesday morning between 2 and 3o'clock Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald andiPoliceman Frederick found the twomen a at house near Laphams, andafter a long chase succeeded in cap-turing Young, whom they brought to

-this city.The two runaways were given the

privilege of the yard in the rear ofthe jail at Elizabethtown for exercise.[While they were in the yard on Sat-urday the officer who had them incharge went into the sheriff's housefor a few minutes and upon his re-turn both men were gone, having scal-ed the high board fence surroundingthe yard.

Sheriff Barnard was at once notifiedand himself with several officersstarted in pursuit of the two prison-ers, tracing them as far as Jay. No-tice of the escape was sent to SheriffEDominy and he also sent out a num-ber of his officers. Blanchard has rel-atives living in the town of Peru andit was thought the runaways wouldmake a-n effort to reach them. DeputySheriff Fitzgerald and Policeman Fred-erick watcher the house of the rela-tives last night and about two o'clocksaw the much wanted men leaving it.They gave chase, at t he same timepulling out their revolvers and firingseveral shots after the rapidly run-ning men. Young, in the hope ofeluding the officers, dropped into aditch as a hiding place, but he wasseen and take into custody. Blanchardhowever, succeeded in getting awayand the officers are still in search ofhim.

Friendless.Silas Torrence of Saranac Lake ar-

rived in this city Thursday afternoon,,having driven here from the Adiron-idack metropolis in a search for his;eon who was kidnapped from his homein that village three years ago.- About nine months ago a womangoing under the name of Jennie{Fletcher was arrested by the policeon a charge of being a disorderly per-son. !Sne was convicted and sentenc-ed to St. Ann's School of Industry atTroy. At the time of her arrest shehad a little boy slightly over seven

~ years of age with her. The little lad,whom she stated was her son, wascommitted to the Home for the Friend-less where he has since been.

The lad proves to ibe the son of Mr.Torrence, and the woman is, as sheclaimed, his mother. "Jennie Fletch-er" is the wife of Silas Torrence, andfor several years they lived happilya t Saranac Lake. Finally the womanbegan leading a fast life and her hus-band left her, taking their son withthem. After about three months' sep-aration the woman stole the boy fromhis father and came to this city, soonafter going to live with a soldiernamed Fletcher, as his wife.

A short time ago the father of theboy learned that his son was in theHome for the Friendless here. Im-mediately upon his arrival here yes-terday afternoon he consulted withjCbief of Police Conners as to the iprop-er method of procedure to secure pos-session of the lad. He then went tothe Home where the little lad at once jrecognized his father. Thursday after-noon Mr. Torrence after consultationwith officers of the Mome.went to Wil-fred Tremblay, commissioner of char-ities, and explained matters fully tothat official. Mr. Tremblay withouthesitation, after hearing the story andbeing convinced that the father couldproperly care for the boy, gave him anorder to the Home for the lad, and {the father Thursday started for

"• home with his son whom he had notseen before in three year3.

The impassivity of John China-man's countenance is now at leastpartially explained. He ha« no nervesin his teeth. This interesting bit ofinformation comes 'way from Oregon,where the dentists have been havinga state meeting. One of the speak-ers, who makes no claims to "pain-less dentistry," said he had tinkered

and never once had known of themto whimper. The only thing in regardto which they show the least anxietyis to "secure any teeth they have pull-ed, which they want to take back orsend back to China in order that thoymay have a full set when they axereincarnated."

the Fourth.As usual the celebration of the Glor-

ious Fourth was accompanied, by itsaccidents,, due mostly to careton the part of those injured1 Or totheir friends. The most serious ofthe accidents thus far reported in thisvicinity occurred at Morrisonvillewhere the ten year old son of JohnWeaver was badly burned about thethands and body. The little fellowwas "shooting" firecrackers af hishome during the afternoon when injsome unknown way a package of imatches in his pocket caught on fireand in an instant his clothing was in I

blaze. The burning clothing wastorn from his person and large patch-es of flesh dropped off his side withthe clothes. The little lad Is now ina critical condition as a result of hisburns.

Charles M. Glass of Lisbon Centermet death in the lake off tbe Platts-burgh dock about 10:30 on Tuesdayforenoon, in an attempt to save thelife of William R. Cadwell, who hadjumped into the lake with suicidal Sn-

Cadwell, who was a nephew of Frankand Theodore TYombtee, proprietor ofthe Cedar Point foundry, recently re-moved to this city fmm Port Henry,had been mentally unbalanced for sev-eral years and wa« for 'a time an in-mate of the Ogdensburg asylum but 'for some time past he has been a tliberty with an attendant, mass hadfor some time been an attendant a tthe asylum but last SVbruary he be-came the private attendant of Cad-well, wiho was quiet, easily handled andspent most of his time in Walking *about the streets of the city, frequent-ly visiting the depot upon the. arrJv- *al and departure of tihe trains. '"

The facts leading up to the doubletragedy are hazy, eye witnessestelling two or three versions of thesad story. The most probable of thesestories is that the two young menwere on their way to the wharf aadthat when near the D. & H. ice houseCadwell started to run toward thelake. Glass, evidently realising hisintention to jump into the lake, start-ed after him, at the same Ume yellingto attract tihe attention of personastanding on the wharf. Glass had al-most reached his patient as they ap-proached the edge of the dock and potout his hand to grasp him by the coat.He was not In time, however, andCadwell sprang far out into the wa-ter and went down like a afcot With-out a moment's hesitation Giass jump-ed in after him and also went down.Sol. Riekson, an employe of the Dock<& Coal Co., seeing the two men go Intothe water ran to their assistance wftha pike pole, "but they were too Carout, and he next threw them a lifepreserrer. After Jumping into tihe wa-ter Cadwell came t o j i forface bat

That oTGlass was recovered almost Immedi-ately and although everything possi-ble was done to resuscitate him It waewithout effect, for life was extinct. ICadwell's body was round a few min-utes later, Richard Kerns baring Inthe meantime dove into the water Inan effort to locate it. CSadwell was al-so dead when taken from the water.

Dr. J. G. McKlnney was the firstphysician to reach the scene of theaccident and he worked over bothmen for nearly half an hour in a vaineffort to restore pulsation or heartbeat.

The physicians state that Glass wasexhausted from his severe run andthat when he jumped Into the lakehis lungs filled with water and causeddeath almost Immediately.

Both were young men and unmar-ried. Cadwell was a step-son of Prof.Burke, principal of the Port Henrypublic schools.
