WHOLLY FALSE, Special Cable. ys, Dec. 11.—The renewed ramors of x Cabinet crisis, though sedulous- jy circulated, are ludicrously false. The members of the Cabinet are dispersed. throughout England, Scotland, and Iretand. No conference, formal or informal, has occurred. There is no material change in the lrish situation, though undoubtedly the condition of Ireland steadi- ly deteriorates under the influence of an unscrupulous agitation. Mr. Parnell is en- with ChiefJustice May’s indiscreet denunciation of unchecked lawlesness, and renews his menace to substitute open- iy treasonable resistance for the pres- ent veiled sedition. Nobody in En- gland approves of Chief-Justice May’s tarangne from the Bench, though few doubt - the perfect truthfulness of his description of the condition of Ireland. It fs understood that arrangements will be made so that Chief-Justice May will not preside at the State trials. MB. FORSTER'S CMCTLAR reminding the Magistrates of their powers provokes the query why it was not issued be- fore, and provokes also the comment that these powers are practically useless, since terrorism prevents their exercise. The in- dignation of the English people at the con- tinned toleration of outrages and the organ- beddefiance of the law in Ireland steadily augments. Even the Radicals show signs of discontent at the proceedings of thelr Irish clients. GLADSTONE’S PURPOSE. Mr. Gladstone’s friends continue to insist that nothing will divert him from his pur- pose; first, to enforce order; secondly, to proffer a measure of substantial relief, leav- ing Parnell and the Lords to divide between them the responsibility of rejecting the lat- ter. The Cabinet meeting to be held next Wednesday is not directly-occasioned by the Tecent troubles, the date having been de- termined when the Ministers adjourned. WILL CHECKMATE THE LEAGUERS. ’ Information from a source which leaves nodoubt of its correctness states that the Cabinet has resolved to anticipate the prob- sable parliamentary tactics of Mr. Parnell and his followers and sympathizers by intro- ducing a series of resolutions fer the guid- ance of the Speaker of the House of Commons in cases where obstruction is attempted. These resolutions, which are to bebrought forward as soon as Parliament assembles, will completely prevent any delay of the business of the Commons, and disarm Mr. Parnell and the obstructionists, who have been declaring loudly and confidently their determination to allow no business to beconducted until their demands had been satisfied, and their ability to enforce that de- termination. ‘The agitation of the land question mean- while is EXTENDING TO ENGLAND. Atameeting of the Farmers’ Alliance this week a-Sussex farmer demanded for mem- bers of his class the right to acquire the land they held after a certain period of tenantcy. The English landiords are at last beginning to take the alarm at the number and activity of the organizations being formed among the ‘mall farmers and agricultural laborers for carrying out what is popularly called tha. “Free Land Policy,” and we are quite likely tosee an agitation in England which will re- callthe famous reform and anti-corn law movements. , FIRED ON BY CONSTABULARY. Special Cabic. Dratrx, Dec.’ 1L.—Intelligence was re- teived this morning from Irishtown to the effect that the Constabulary while on duty fh that vicinity last night observed a dis- gulsed and armed party of men prowl- fog about as though bound upon some errand of mischief or crime. TheConstabutary halted them and demanded mexplauation,, The men who seemed to be the leaders of the party refused to disclose ‘names or purposes, Whereupon the Con- Sabalary undertook to arrest them. Vigor- ous resistance was offered, and a fight en- sued,in which the officers fired upon the Party, wounding several of them.

BEACONSFIELD AND THE QUEEN. ‘ Loxpos, Sosetal Cables “Meolon ged ae 1L—Beaconsfield’s recent ' IE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: ward rumors that the Queen is set jz coun sel outside her constitutional advisers. Such Tumors are unimportant in practical pdlitics,- -but are undoubtedly true. Lord Beacons- field rather ostentatiously retains his per- sonal relations with the sovereign, which is unusual in the case of the leader of the Op- Position. Palace tradition limits all visits to Windsor to asingle night, but Lord Beac- onsfield staid two, — Wednesday and Thursday. Lord Rayton, who is still Lord Beaconsfield’s private secretary, re- cently visited Balmoral, and Lord Beac- onsfield himself went to Osborne when the -Queen was last there. No precedents exist for such frequent commu- Bication between the sovereign and an ex- Minister. Society gossip explains the pres- ent visit on literary grounds, the’ Queen de- siting to talk over “Endymion” with the author, Lord Beaconsfield having sent her the first copy, richly bound, with an auto- graph inscription. In the same quarter much comment is made on Mr. Gladstone’s recent REFUSAL TO OBEY THE ROYAL COMMAND to visit Windsor, the truth being that Mr. Gladstone interpreted the invitation as pure- ly formal, and hence declined formally b& cause of the pressure of his official duties. There is no reason to suppose that the per- sonal relations of Mr. Gladstone and the Qneen are other than cordial. 2 6 current reports that the marri: Mr. Bartlett and eee iee THE BARONESS BURDETT-COUTTS will not take place are wholly unfounded.

AMERICAN SECURITIES.

A NEW ARCTIC EXPEDITION. To the Western Assoctated Press. Lonpos, Dec. 11.—It is understood that the President of the Council of the Royal Geographical Society is considering a plan fora new Arctic expedition. It is under- stood the route by way of Franze Josefland will be recommended. but the mere feat of reaching the Nortti Pole will not be the main oreven oneof the principal objects of the expedition. It will be simply to explore the unknown area north of the seventy-ninth and eightieth degrees of latitude. The Society, while it is not inimical to the plan of estab- lishing observing stations around the pole, can only consider them as subsidiary to the work of geographical exploration.

Rome, Dec. 9.—The Bureaus of the Cham- ber have commenced the discussion of the j Government bill for the abolition of the forced paper currency. The bill is favorably received, but the necessity of important al- terations 1s recognized. [Before the scheme was made public to re- sume specie-payments, the Italian paper cur- rency was at a fluctuating discount of 10 to 12 per cent; but since then it has rapidly ap- preciated in the prospect of redemption, and is now only 3}¢ per cent below par.] THE RESUMPTION SCHEME, ‘The importance of this bill to Italy eannot be exaggerated. It is the broadest plank in Cairoli’s political platform. The paper cur- rency now issued by the Banca Nazionale, the Banco di Napoli, Banca Toscana, Banca Bomana, and Banco di Sicilia would on the Ast of July, 1881, become an immediate State debt, the yearly assignment to the bank ceasing, and the'repte given by the Govern- ment as guarantee of the united bank notes being withdrawn at the same time. The Government proposes further to contract a loan of 655,000,000 francs, of which at least 500,000,000 [$100,000,000] are to be in gold, at arate of interest not exceeding 5 per cent, bésides procuring such sums as may eventual- ly prove needful to cash the bank notes. The Minister of Finance calculates that the inter- est of the new loan contracted for abolishing the forced paper currency will be fully com- pensated ‘by the saving of above 20,000,000 a year paid at present for difference in the payment in gold by Italian bonds, and 30,000,000 which will be saved, thanks to a financial combination by which the State will inscribe in each year’s budget the 60,000,000 francs due for-pensions. Forced paper currency was introduced into Italy by the late Signor Scialoia, who in the spring of 1866 held the portfolio of Finance. The Italo-German alliance had been concluded; Italy had engaged to declare war to Austria; the fuuds were below forty-eight, and money could not be found at any condition. A first debt was contracted between the Italian’ Government and the National Bank for six hundred millions of lire; that debt has since risen toa milliard that two hundred millions. | The law enforcing paper currency proved, there is no doubt, the best protective meas- ure to national manufacture and industry. While the value of gold was rising 10 and even 15 per cent, Italian manufacturers found the means of competing toa great ex- tent with foreign manufacturers, and the Turin and Riete manufacturers in particu- lar may thank the protection received from the paper currency for arriving. at their pres- ent flourishing state.

A Coatly Establishment Burned. New Yors, Dec. 11.—The Evening Post says: Jay Gould’s conservatory at Islington, onthe Hudson, was burned this morning. Loss said to be $100,000, The green-house was the largest in the country, and was filled with the rarest and most valuable plants. Many were imported at great expense, and some were not dupli- cated in the United States. The collection of tropical plants alone could not be equaled in this latitude. There were other plants that were brought here from all parts of the world, and the cost of importation alone was sufficient to maintain an average-sized green-house for years. The men :twere working up to 2 this morning, under the direction of the head gardener. At 3 the night watch- man discovered the flames. He awakened the entire force of men, and they con- nected the fire apparatus, but the water was frozen, and their efforts were useless, The flames, fanned by a high wind, swept through the mammoth structure, licking up everything. In half an hour from the time the fire was first discovered the beautiful structure was a mass of ruins. ‘The building was 480 feet long, and constructed in the Moorish style. The en- tire loss is $150,000, upon which there is no insurance. The Conservatory was only a little distance from the residence, which is unharmed. Gould only purchased the prop- erty a little over a year ago, and paid about $350,000 for it, It is understood a more ele gant building will speedily replace the one just burned. E PARIS GOSSIP. A Chicago Lady at the Theatre Fran- cais Jublice—Fashions—™Imo. de Met- ternich—The Kage for Mlle. Eliza, the Circus-Rider, Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Panis, France, Nov. 18.—At the recent bi- centenial jubilee of the Comédie Frangaise, the toilets were not in conformity with the gala oc- casion, Mme. Adam and many other leaders of the ton wearing hats, the mode having placed ancmbargo on the floral bonnets of iast year, which, with dazzling costumes and gleaming jewelry, formed a charming picture in the sombre and stately yrandeur which framed them’ at tho Theatre Francais, In all the vast throng thore was little to charm the sight. Among the few exceptions to the austerity of the surround- ings may be mentioned a young American, a Miss R., from Chicago, who, seated in a loge near the President of the Republic, was tho bright particular star of the evening in her toilet of delicate rose and her dazzling personal beauty. With large eyes, and a profusion of wavy chestnut hair. Miss R. agree- ably arrested the attention, especially on the second evening, when, attired in white, she appeared more charming than before. All Parisian fo her tastes, this Indy darea to bravo the mandate of the fashionable world which or- dains that galn costumes are no longer to be ex- hibited at the theatre; which custom originated in the fact of a noted foreign Princess, who was traveling incog, having appeared recently at the Théatre Frangais in toilet de ville. Thus Re- publican France still worships Royalty, and, having no especial Queen to wield the sceptre of Fashion since the time of the brilliant Eugénie, it grasps every passing whim iundulged in by Royal visitors. Apropos of the present fashion of wearing hats to the theatre, it may te remarked that, if that appendage were Ught and small, it might be endured; but this is not the case,—it is gigantic, and ornamented with plumes in the most irregular profusion. Fashion is raving over old jewelry, especially in silver,—the blacker and more tarnished, the better. Les elegantes are searching old curios- ity-shops in order to find old crosses darkened by age, Breton and Scotch coilars, and other an- tiquities, whose archeological interest must cor- tainly be very great to compensate for their want of beauty, and which do not conform in any degree with the modes of to-day. But the Princess de }fetternick has recently arrived in Paris, and perhaps présent modes will be of short duration, as the elegant Ambassa- dress will be sureto lead theton. Her name alone arouses visions of magnificent fétes, and alsoextravagant folly which sometimes leads her into acuons of rather questionable good taste. Mme. de Metternich has a beautiful tore- herd and the eyes of a guzelle; tho lower part of her face, however, is homely to the inst degree, recalling in some measure that of the negro race; but, graceful in all her movements and ing in exquisit taste, she is univer- admired, and is, as she calis he: self, “the bdest-dressed monkey in Paris.” With the keels of her shoes studded with diamonds, and a thousand other funcics equally extravagant, Sime. de Metteruich revives the memory of the Court of Napoleon Hl., where for ten years she maintafmed the first role in the comedy then enacted in the Tuileries from the Istof January tothe dist of December. The peculiar education of the dazzimg Princess doubtiess enbanced her physical and mental strength, which were remarkable in her youth, and which now, in the autumn of her life, do not appear to have diminished in the least degree. ler father desired ason, and, Heaven having sent him a daughter, he raised her as a young moap,—uot only regardmg the costume und ‘corporal exercises, but also in the manner of ber instruction.. With all her devo- tion to society, she reads Greck and Latin fluent- ly, and speaks several other languages; and when, after a féte where perhaps she bas taken partin an operetta, a réle of Schneider's, she does not retire to sleep until after the perusal of many pages ef some grave or classical volume. The assertion that this Princess is universally admired, 2s well as that she influences the fasb- jons of the day, will doubtless be derided by many; but it fs, nevagtheless, true that the in- sidious charm which entices the world within its meshes cannot be brokes, and all who move in the same social sphere are imperceptibly in- fluenced by the example of this brilliant woman. Mme. de Metternich, asiremarked abuve, isin the autumn of her life; but, owing to her peculiar style of bhomeliness, she does not ap- pear a day Older than “5. Her freaks of friend- sbip, in many instances, are not becoming to her high social position; but in this she is not ulone; in fact, things have been pushed 60 far fo this direction that the greatest ladies do not hesitate to confess publicly their relations, not only with singers and * of renown, but with rope- danoers, circus-riders, and bi It is doubtiess all right to seo M. bh ut it fs thtole: able to behold the;Baroness de X..or thePrincess de Z. holding familiar intercourse with Mille. Eliza, the notorious circus-ridet. It may be well for these ladies, whose tastes lead them to ad- mire the talent of Mile. Pedzol (who assuredly knows how to mount a horse), to demonstrate their appreciation thereof by rich presents; but to orgunize socin! manifestations in ber favor fa rather a questionable affair. “I desire you will nssist at the soirée d'adieux of Mile. Elza!” In truth, this is pushing matters too far. Tho clamorous enthusiasm of a certain number of ladies and gentlemen bearing high-soundi: titles goes beyond all bounds of tho comical an the ridiculous, as they throw bouquets of their colors to the circus-rider, greatly to the disgust of the modest public, wha momentarily imngine themselves in 2 hnil filled with clowns and eouy- ers on Q spree, who baye come to make an ova- tion to their comrade. 3 Among tho divers incidents that happened during the sojourn of Mile. Eliza in Paris, the following {s too droll to be passed allently over: M.de X. and M.de Z. were both paying court, ually assiduous os phitonic, to dille. Pedzol, whod, one beautiful morning, M.de X..arrived at the house of his friend de Z., and exclaitned in a towcring passio: We must fight! Weare one too many!” * You area fool!” replied M. deZ. “Not atall,” saidde X. “I bave brought my coachman; you have your domestic; we will fight “in the garden.” “You are absolutely n fool; and, since your coach- man is here, he will help me, with the aid of my own, to duck you _in the bath-tub.” It is re- Ported that M. de X. did exactly as he threat- ened, and M. de X. returned home soaked, but not calmed. In the eyening the ri metagain ‘at the theatre, and, on de Z.'8 speaking to Eliza, de X. assaulted bim in such a manner that a rencontro was inevitable. De %. stronger and more skilled in arms than de X., disarmed the Jatter twice, and ended by slightly touching bim. A reconciliation took place, of course, accord- ing to the custom of the day; and, to seul their new friendship, they went to supper toyothor. But‘vhat was their stupor on beholding the haughty, the crue! Eliza in company with M. de Y.!

PIKE’S PEAK A VOLCANO. Fire, Smoke, Ashos, and Melted Lava Pouring from the Crater—The Signal Service Officer’s Story. Colorado Springs Gazette, The probability of a volcano existing in the Rocky Mountains has never entered the minds or our citizens. Conclusive evidence that such athing does exist, and not very far from Col- orado Springs, has recently been fur- nished us by Sergeant O'Keeffe, of the Signal Service. The first knowledge that was given us of this peculiar and newly-discovered phenomenon was reported last Saturday after- noon, and since that time a Gazette reporter, under the guidance of Sergeant O'Keeffe, vis- ited the scene of what proved tobe one of the most wondrous discoveries ever brought to light in this region. Nearly ail of the citizons of Col- orado Springs have seen or read of the crater which is located near the summit and just west of the peak. It has always been conceded by scientists that this self-same crater had in times gone by been the scene of a terrible eruption, as particles of lava had becn discovered in the crevices of the rock adjoining it. Those who have investigated more closely the various formations which are pecul- jar to a volcanic mountain, generully have af- firmed that there are plenty of evidences, to show plainly that the Pike's Peak crater has in ita centre a circular or cup-like opening through which lava has certainly been emitted. It was on the night of the 20th of October that the crater first displayed any signs of volcanic activity. O'Keeffe was aroused from his slumbers by a dreary, doleful sound which ap- parently emanated from beneath the Sig- nal Station. His frst convictions were that it was an earthquake, but this impression was soon dispelled by the fact that the sound still continu with- out any signs of 2 jar. The Sergeant concluded to investigate tho cause of this mysterious sound, and he and his assistant, Mr. F. L. Jones, dressed themselves and started out in search of the cause. They had barely stepped over the door-sill when a bright flash, at first thought to be lightoi surmounted the summit of the Penk. It wxs only of a second’s duration, and the peak was again clothed in darkness. From this time on the sound here- tofore described seemed to decrease until the weual quict of the solemn mountain peak was agnin restored. The following day Sergt. O'Keeffe visited the crater, fecling confident that the sound heard the night previous bad emanat- ed from that source. What was his surprise, on looking down into the crater, to discover va- por curling up from the cup-like Inclosure. This discovery only prompted to turther con- tinue his researches, and, xfter two hours’ la- borious climbing, he found himself standing within about 200’ yards of the crater ohimncy. The heat, even at this distance, was very oppressive, and tho ground "about him was covered with pulverized: ashes and Java which hnd been emitted from what he be- lieved to be an incipieut volcano. O'Keefe was lost in astonishment, The snow for a distance of half a mile from tho crater had entirely disap- peared. This was all the more remarkable; as it bad upon the duy previous been severul feet in depth. The Sergeant was very much astonished at the remarkable discovery thus brought to light, but be was not deceived by the calm. He was convinced that the absolute repose which the volcano then displayed would be of short duration. Since the 20th of Ovtober but one eruption bas occurred, and that was on the night of Nov. %, when another one similar to that which occurred on the 20th, only more vio- Jent, occurred. Sergt. O'Keeffe happened to be on the roof of the Signa! Station on this occasion, and he portrays the mujeaty of the scene as the grandest that he has ever witnessed, not excepting that of Vesuvius, seen by him in 182, when he wasa lad, This eruption began with a tremendous burst, which shook Pike's Peak to its very foundation, hurling into the uir dense clouds of ashes and lava. These explosions succeeded cach other with rapidity and increased violence for about one hour, when the volcano seemed to enter into a profound steep. During the eruption the clouds ure strongly illuminated by the retlection of the glowing lava in the crater, giving the scene the appearance of a vast conflagration. This will account tor the peculiar light which has been noticed by the sbeep-herders on the plains east of this city. Scientists give it as their opinion that the present upheayal will inst about three months,fafter which the volcano will settle down to a state of comparative re- pose, only to burst with renewed vigor in about six years, ——— “THE COLE MURDER. ¢ Upon information received, Detectives Mc- Donald and Duffy last evening arrested in a Fourth avenue saloon & young colored man named Theodore Harris, who confesses having fired the snot which Killed Cole. Hen- derson is by his confession entirely ex- culpated. Harris is very cool about the matter, and tells his story in a straightfor- ward and convincing manner. He was in the “crap-house” when # quarrcl arose between two men whom hedid notknow. One of these men must have becn Josh Grangor. He claimed 25 cents from a man who ,did not believe he had fost it, and a fight was the result. Thero were a number of men in the room, and, the fight at once assuming desperate pro- portions, all made a break for the door leading into the saloon in front. This door was crowded in a moment so densely that no one could get either in or out. The battle inside the waming-house waxed greater in conse- quence of this jam. Chairs, pokers, and other weapons were used. Harris claims to pave been struck onthe head with some blurft instrument, and also to have been felled to the floor by a blow on the back with a spittoon. He saw the man who struck him the last blow, and upon reguining nis feet he drow his revolver and tired past the stove at him. He knew at once he had missed his aim when he ‘saw Cole full and = ex- claim that he was shot, After tho shooting be put his revolver away, aad left the saloon as speedily as possible. Harris ppears fo bavo no comprehension that be fired uusustl- fiably and without sullicient provocation. Ho appears to. think he did ‘perfectly right in’ everything but shooting Cole, when he meant to bit the other man. He took no part in tho game of craps, and had no enmity against any one who was playing. Upon informution given by him the revolver which be used wus recovered by the officers Inst night. It is a cheap one of the Nero pattern, and of thirty-two calibre. ‘Harris is a young man about 2 years of age, who came here from Cincinnati only about six months ago. He is employed at Tkomson’s restaurant, on Dearborn street. Cole was one ot the first men with whom he be- came acqualuted upon reaching this city, and they had always been on the most friendly terms. Henderson, who was held for the shoot- ing, was in high glee last night to find himself unexpectedly lifted out of a nasty predicament. The sequel shows that Henderson did not fire the shot, but he greatly added to the suspicion. against bim by’ professing to know that Cun- ningbam, one of the proprietors of the house, fired the shot. a ‘The Duke of Argyll. : “How beautiful,” says the London orld, “are the words of wisdom when they tow from the facile pon of the Duke of Argyll?

When he reached celt No. 135, oceupied by Géorge Fos- ter and John Cleggett, two well-known colored crooks, he found to his utter dismay that the cell was empty.

The hole through which they found egress is about sixteon inches in diameter, but as both the boys are quite small they easily worked their way out. ¢ hole was cut imme- diately under the roof of the cell, and it is sup- posed that, in order to reach so high, the prison- ers took turn about stanaing on each other's shoulders, and in this manner drilled the hole. The news of the escape soon became known through8ut the jail, and the greatest excite- ment prevailed among the prisoners. Maj. Hawley rushed for the telephone and summoned asguad of police from the Chicago Avenue Station, who came down under command of Capt. Hathaway and Lieut. Schaack. Supposing the boys were ON THE ROOF OF THE JAIL, a lndder was Procured, and the young colored boy George, who fs well known as an employé of the institution under Jailer Cur- rier, scaled the roof, _ accompanied by one of the turnkeys. ‘The police had surrounded the building, and it was confidently believed the rogues had been trapped. Not so, however, for a thorough search of the roof failed to show any indications that they had evea been there. It was then suggested that they might have fallen down the ventilating-shaft, which would have been certain death, or by chance baving reached the ground-floor, they would be found secreted in the basement. Just . thon Jailer Folz made his appearance, and pro- posed SEARCHING THE GARRET. Ladders wero again brought into requisition and carrled to the top tier of cells, At the east end of this tier is ‘a trap-dopr, securely fastened with three ponderous locke, in which no Key has been used for years. It was with great difficulty and loss of time that this door was. opened, but success finally crowned the nervous effortsof Jailor Folz, who, led by Capt. Hatn- away, crawled up the ludder, and, armed with lamps, commenced the search of the garret. At this time some of the prisoners in tho lower tiers became unruly, and set up a frightful series of cat-callsand blasphemous outcries, which necessitated an order from Maj. Hawley to lock the offenders in the dungeonif they could be found. The turnkeys were rush- ing about promiscuously, and the other employés of the jail showed — signs of consternation and extreme chagrin over the escape and the dismal failure to dis- cover the nimbte prisoners. Just at this inter- esting moment, when the excitement was at its hight, news arrived that THE MEN HAD BEEN ARRESTED on the street, and were locked up at the Chicago Avenue Station. Everybody breathed easier, and Conrad heaved a long-drawp sigh of relicf. It appears that after the prisoners got on the rovf, they having carried with m & blanket, they held a short council of war. It was decided tomake arope of it. The hour was about 7 o'clock, and this method was exceedingly dan- gerous, since so many people were passing to and fro. However, they tore their blanket into shreds and made a rope that reached tothe streot. They fastened the rope to the lightoing-rod at tho northoust end of the building, on Iilinois and Dearborn streets, and made a successful descent to the sidewalk.- Once on terra firma there was a short discussion as to where to go. Foster wanted to strike for State strect, but Cleggett insisted on taking Clark, and they com- promised on Dearborn, where thoy were caught. ‘A TRIBUNE reporter called at the jail about 10:80 last night to see THE JAIL-BREAKERS. They were in the dungeon, an ordinary, but durkened cell, without bed or bedding. ‘Jailer Folz and his assistant, Maj. Hawley, were on hand. They allowed the reporter to see the boyss Foster is a colored boy, 20 years old, but hardened in crime. He has served a te! in Joliet. Cleggett is a lad of 16, who has n service in the State's employ, & “He dun gone an’ truble me.” said Foster, “T'd never get caught only for dat kid. Dye hyer me?” “How aid you get out?" asked the reporter. Now you put alt in de paper I gwine tell yer. It's jes none yer dam business.” “Cun’t you tell?” asked the reporter. “We jest made a rope of a blanket, an’ we tied ittode noreast corner of the jail, on a lightning-rod, an’ we slid down.” * And you didn’t get away?” OQ dat dam fool Cleggett he got nonsense in his head, He wanted to go down Clark street. I wanted to take State, an’ dat’s how we gota caught.” * : ae Couldn't you skip?” eee could yer get away wid five men after er. hey?” 2 7 ‘The negroes refused to speak further. Cleggett is already booked for six months in the Bridewelt, where he will be taken Tuesday. What makes the matter worse, Jailer Folz was fully forewarned as early as 3 o'clock in the aft- erncon that two men were to attempt an escape iu precisely the manner in which Cl tt and Roker ‘last night made "thelr deparcare. Detective Bike Costello had occasion to visit the jail during the afternoon, and while in conversation with a prisoner who had requested to see hit, the fellow informed him that two “niggers” in Cell No. 135 had fully pre- pared to escape, and that they were to make theattempt that same night. ‘The prisoner was particular to atate that the escape, if made at all, would be through the ventilator, and thence to theroof, from which the refugees boped to lower themselves by a rope manufactured out of their bed clothing. The detective would have been considered very derelict in his duty if, with this yuluable tnformation in his possession, he had left the jatl without warnmg the officials. ‘When questioned about the matter last night, the detective stated that he had posted Jailer Folz thoroughly, and that he had taken a mem- oranaum of the matter, and after grufily thank- ing his informant, bud promised to attend to the ense. During the early evening hours when the detective among others was sent out to look for the refugees, per orders over the police tele- phone wires, he Iaughed heartily, but said nothing. Presumably the important intorma- tion slipped Jailer Folz's memory. GALLERY AND STUDIO. Two Notable Water-Color Collections : —Minor Notes, 'Thore is now on exhibition at Haseltine’s Gal- lery a collection of water-colors from the studio of Mr. George Hitchcuck, who some two or three years ago had for short time an atelier in this city, but who is now a resident of London, En- gland. During Mr. Hitchcock’s residence in this city he worked assiduously. He was possessed of the artidea and an unconquerable desire to reproduce nature in all hermoods. His efforts, though somewhat crude, exhibited an individ- unlity aua a strength that only needed direction to ultimately land him among the benchers of the first rank. To obtam this desideratum, he ‘one day closed his studio, packed his valise, and took his departure for London, where he hoped to profit by the examples of the masters of the English water-school. After obtaining studio quarters, he became a diligent attendant at the National Academy. and devoted much time to the study of. English landscape and marine. The attention paid to detall,—the al- most pre-Raphaelitism,—indulged in by very many of the English aguarollists proved other than he bad anticipated, and, sated a few ” ence, he abandoned the ky aitteot ‘sfuibe and took up his residence in Paris. ‘Thero he met with a number of young artists. d the school of the “impression- phy bad tectvsore radical of its votarics were in Jscabit of making dilly sketches outaoors. ‘their custom to puint their easels, take & Tapia survey ‘of the stretch of country or const which they intended to reproduce, and snort vigorously” paint away, with an occasional look simply. for ‘the ‘suggestion of form and color. ‘his recalls to mind the experiments ‘undertaken by Houdin, the famous Professor of legerdemain, when he was a youth, for develop- ing bis memory. He and bis brother were in the hubitof rapidly passing a Parisian notion store, and each, taking # hupried glance at the display in the window, would tell the other what he saw und its relative position. Constant repetl. tion enabled the brothers to reacha degree of perfection that was marvelous to those who ‘not understand the manner in which it was ace quired. Sucha procedure, however. as appli unt is notyand ‘under no circumstances can be, correct. "This system simply gives an a pression of things in their sbape and color, an an idea of their relative positions, but it does not afford any clew to the gradations of color,—the lights and shades. And yet under certain re- ‘strictions the *impressionistés " are not bwithoot merit, Itis undoubtedly true tbat where one gazes on 6 landscape the eyo Is }. directed to a focus, around which all surround- ingobjects balance. The object which ta focused is the only one within the radius of vision which is clearly defined. This truth the moderate *tmpressionistés" recognize. The object which ig prominent in the foeul line is the keynote to the picture, and this should be painted with ab- Solute fidelity as seon by the artist. Every sur- rounding object is subordinate and subjective, gaa allof them are more or less indetinit in ‘orm. Finally, becoming: weary of the fallacious views of the *impresgionistés,”’ Mr. Hitchcock bied to Holland, where, at Scheveningen, be entered the studio of Mesdug, who stands nt the head ot the Dutch water-sehool artists. Here he reveled in outdoor work. king outfrum his studio ata email horel on the seacoast, he made delightful. breezy studies of sen and sky in their myriad moods. Gccasional jaunts into the country— the deud level pining behind the dunes—gave ‘him an opportunity of making studies of Dutch landscapes with their hamicts, canals, and wind- mills. Here he skillully blended the detall of the Englisy with the “impressionism” of the French school, and the result, as seen in bis ictures, is a broad, generous treatment, wpich is full of nature. fir ; Sen studies are redolent of salt water and, clear, crisp xtmosphere. Where there nre so ninny good things it is hard to particularize, but the art-lover will fondly linger over “ From My Window.” a view looking: out to sea, with a couple of fishing-boats in the half distance; * The Sunsburst at Sea,” a dense Mass of storm-portending, cloud in the back- ground, with a fishing-boat ‘standing out in bold relief against it, and « burst of suntight through ariftin the cloud. The most of the picturesiare studies on the Holland coast, though there are a few charming views of Freuch and English rural acenery. TRE FANNING COLLECTION. Avery important display of pictures is that now on exhibition at O'Brien's. It is acollec~ tion of water-colors, and was gathered by Col. Fanning, an American dealer, now resident in London.’ From an artistic standpoint, the col- jection isa valunble and instructive one, as it contains many tine exumples of the English, French, Spanish, and ltalian schools. The artista ‘represented are: Fortuny, Zamacois, Vibert, Jiminez, Agrassot, Navone, Peralta, Rossi, epelate, Galfore, Maccari, Guardabassi, Rico, Cipriani, Gioja, Vuldecarra, Sans, Cebrian, H. Vernet, De Penne, Rivoire, De Neuville, Frantz, Le Bas, Castano, Belli, Joris, Michetti, Coleman, Campi, Taperio, Santaro, Simoni, Simonetti, Costantini, David Robe: C. Stun- field, J. Faulkner, Drummond, Copley Fleidfng, W. L. Liteh, T. B. Hardy, D. Cox, J. Price, E. Earp, O. Clare, W. Hoagh, Salmen. A. Sox, V H. Lec, A. Vickers, and Princess Alice, daughter of Quecn Victoria. ‘The collection, in addition to being of vaiue because of the facilities afforded for comparing the merits of the different schools, and the indi- vidual mannerisms of the exponents, possesses. the further merit of showing the chronology of the art forthe pust tifty years. beginning with Stanfield, who flourished during the first quarter of the present century. Last evening when the writer of this brief notice visited the gallery the pictures were not hung. but enuugh were available to give one an {dea of the excelienceof the collection. Among thoso noticed were “ The Spanish Bulltighter,” by Vibert, a brilliant speci men of this artist's wealth of color: “A French Soldier,” a lead-pencil drawing by Horace Ver- net, the great battic-picce painter; “ A Boquet of Flowers," by Rivoirc; * Mephistopheles,” by Zamacois; * The Boudoir of Mme. De Vulliere.” by Gioja; “The Parting of Beatrice Cenci with Her Stepmother Just Previous to Execu- tion,” by Guardabassi. This is one of the gems of the collection, and is worth hours of study for its perfection of technique. “Study of a Moor,” by Fortuny, is x broad, clean-cut sketch of 1 Moorish head. The painting by the Princess Alice is a portrait of George IV. when Prince of Wales, after a miniature. “Breaking Cover,” a couple of pointers raising 2 golden pheasant, by De Peune, is a masterly work. The eads of the dogs are full of intelligence, and the drawing {is all that could be desired., The collection will be gold at auction on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons. MINOR NOTES. : Schwerdt has just finshed an almost full length portrait of a Chicago Indy, lately de- ceased. It is pronounced un admirable likeness. The figure is well-modeled, and the drapery of- fects are fRoroughl studied out. ‘Ine contrast between silk and velvet is admirably shown, and in the management of modern dress the artist has shown great skill. Col. Fairman’s new studio, 48 State strect, is now opon. There are on exhibition quite a num- ber of large landscapes, the piece de resistance being the “ Androscoggin Valley near Mt. Beth- el. Me.” This is somewhat Turneresque in its effect, and by English critics was pronounced the equal of Turner's “Brook.” His sixth art Jecture will be given Monday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in Fairbank Hall. Subject: ‘ Archi- tecture: ItsPlace Among the Fine Arts.” At Haseltine’s there have been received a number of fruit pieces painted: by Cooper, of New York. The “Apples” are decidedly the ‘best of the lot. Four rural scenes—with horses and cattle—by Van Leemputten, a pupil of De Haas, show several points of excellence ina purely technical way. They are really studio Pictures. A couple of sheep pictures, cabinet size, by De Breul, a pwpil of Jacque, are verita- ble wool and mutton. ‘There will be on exhibition at Ovington’s, Tuesday, a_cousignment of water-colors, by L. C. Earil, a Chicago artist, now residing in Flor- ence. The Keppel collection of fine engravings and etchings at Jansen, McClurg & Co.'s is dail ited by throngs of art lovers, who revel works of the master engravers and etchers of the past300 years. The collection is particularly rich in portraits of kings, queens, generals, statesmen, poets, painters, and other notables in the world’s history. CRIMINAL RECORD. Items from Police Courts and Station- Houses. Joseph H. Hutchinson, the fellow caught burglarizing the millinery storeand residence of the Misses Hunter, No. 745 West Lake street, was yesterday held by Justice Walsh in $1,009 to the Criminal Court. It bas not yet been explained whoitwas who furnished the police with ther information, and thereby frustrated the burg- jJar's expectations of making a rich haul. E. W. Hennessey, who pretends to be a re- spectabic and honest man, was last evening ar- rested by Detectives Kipley and Ryan upon a charge of eteall a puairot bracelets, repre- sented as quite valuable, from Sirs. M. E. Caxter, ‘a guest at the Primer House. He was acquaint- ed with the lady, and appropriated the brace- lets upon one of his visits to her apartments in the hotel. Timothy McUarthy and Frank Schubert, labor- ers employed at the Burlington &Quincy freight house, corner of Jefferson and Sixtecuth streets, quareled at 10° o'clock Jaat night over some of their work, and in the fight which ensued Schubert used his pocket- knife and cutun ugly gash in McCarthy's left . The wound was about five inches in length and bled profusely. McCarthy was taken to his bourding-bouse at the northwest corner of Wright and Jefferson streets. Schubert has not yet been arrested. * Louis Smith, a young negro thief, was arrested oh the 7th inst. by Ollicer William E. Smith, of the Cottagé Grove Avenue Station, who found him guspiciously prowling about ‘the strects with a valuable velvet cloak trimmed with feathers, in one pocket of which was a fine coral breastpin. Smith was subsequently identified . tor the theft of some seven or cight overcouts from the Mosely School, Hahnemann Medical College, and other institutions in the district. An owner was not found for the cloak and pin until yesterday, when tho lady to whom they belonged reported her loss ut the Central Btation. She was out of the city at the time Smith sneaked into her residence and got away with theproperty. The prisoner was yester- day held by Justice Wallace in-§300 to the Crim- inal Court upon each of eight complaints pre- ferred by Messrs. A. Cowles, L. J. Spruance. J, wes, Corey, Lester Frankenthal, William Derby. Mark Cummings, J. B. MeFetrick, and L. Fuller of No. 2000 Michigau avenue. There was a small-sized shooting-affray at No, 426 West Indiana street. Edward Barrett, whe lives in the rear of the lot, came home from Work shortly after last midnight and found bis wife conversing at the front gate with “his neighbor, Michael. Redden. “He was highly displeased. and, drawing a revolver, fired at Redden, with no other cifect than to shatter the second flager of his left hand, The men were separated tof.re furthea damage was done. Jealousy and domestic broils are at the bottom of the encounter. Enginecr Ford, who was in charge of the en- gine on the Lake Shore Roud which crushed aa Archer-avenve chr n few evenings saxo, was brought before Justice Wallace yesterday on & charge of criminal carelesness preferred by Lieut. Buckley. The prosecution charged that there was no Gagman at, the crossing, and that the engine was bemg’ driven atabigh rate of speed. but: wanted a contiuuance in order that je car-driver, who lies at Merey Hospital with a broken leg, might be present. ‘The defendant, however, was ready for u hearing. and main- tained that delay wus sought tc get time to tix upacase. The result was that a continuance was granted until the 18th, Furd being placed under bonds for $1,000. Every year about: this season sneak-thieves and tramps make a business of stealing pactk- ayes of goods from delivery-wagong and from tue heavy trucks which ply between large busi- ness-houses and the ratiroad depots. For dif- ferent reasons this sort of thievery is very an- noying, and yet it seemsalmost impossible to break it up completely. Lust night Detectives MeDonald and Duffy arrested Kichard Johnson, J. H. Dutton, John Hill, and Joseph Clark. The olficers are certain they are the men who have been doing a goud portion of this class of work, but as they cannot positively prove it the pris- oners are booked simply for vagrancy. A house in “Cheyenne” which they frequented was pulled Jast i er) and sixteen inmates, whites and blacks and of both sexes, were lodged at the Armory. J. H. Crawford, alias Smith, snpposed to be an expert hotel thief, was capuilred yesterday as he was ransacking a room in the Taylor House, No.c$7 Clark street. Mr. Frost, one of the proprietors of the house, who caught the féllow in a room with astolen overcoat and revolver. held bim until the arrivalof Lieut. # a search! found upon him bill-beads of the various prom- nent botels, showing that he had put in consid= erable ot his time about them, if nothing else; also a letter to a relative, which he himself had: written but not mailed, in which he pleads for aid, as he was “dead broke” financially, and had just got out of | jail. A silver thimble marked * Lizzie,” which was ‘found upon him, awaits anowner at Central Station. It is supposed that Crawford has been plying his profession at all the hotels, but b Bree sumebly his Pluader hax been small,as there have been no large thefts reported to the police. ‘The Citizens’ League have prosccuted the fol- lowing saloonkeepers for violations of law: Louisa Spitz, 22 Third avenue, for selling liquor to migors, was held to the Criminal Court under bonds of $300 by Justice Wallace.

A young man of 2 years, named John Walsh, was arraigued before Justice Brown yesterday afternoon on the charge of larceny, and ex- pressed his readiness to plead guilty.’ He was employed as a clerk in the store of George Bohner, Nos. 63 and 55 Wabgsh avenue, and began steuling several mionths ago. He was suspected, a man was employed to watch him, and he was caught. His stoalings included the following articles: Forty-five dozen lump-burners, -vilued at $67.50; fifteen gross of lamp wicks, $6; half @ dozen stand imps, £15; three hanging lamps, $18; one dozen mateh-safes, $2; four dozen bar-glasses, $2: six Jamp fixtures, $9.50; and various other articles, the whole being valucd at about $150.
