8 Additional Particulars of Their Romantic Escape. Recapture of Five of the Fugitives—Story of the Tugboat Engine:r—“Give Us Plenty Steam or I'll Blow Your Brains Out!—The Captain and Engineer of the Tug Roleased—Earle, the Saloon Keeper, Tried and Acquitted. Contrary to general expectation the prompt and resolute pursuit instuuted by. Warden Russeli and his posse of armed assistants alter the twelve aaring convicts who precipitately left Sing Sing Prigon on Thursday bas been rewarded by the cap- ture of five of the discomfited jail birds, who will bow, doubtless, be taken a little better care of than heretofore, Three of these erratic felons were cap- tured late on Thuraday evening by the pursuing party. The names of these worthies are Jacob Weiler, Denms Conroy and George Wiliams. It will be recollected that the former is undergoing im- prisonment for tife for the murder of fis wife, while the two latter are serving out sentences of five and four years respecuvely. The capture of Ubis adventurous trio was effected not tar from Nyack, Rockland county, and at a ume when they evidently thought that their FELONIOUS FOOTMARKS had been obliterated. They offered onry a feeble resistance, and, on realizing that they were sur- rounded, quietly surreadered to their captors. Con- vict genuity bad not been wanting in the emer- gency of esc ape as the men were attired in citizens’ clothes, One of them had on a pair of dirty black- smith’s pantaloons, with @ biue shirt and a soft feit hat. Weiler was well and respectably dressed. They were all, however, in the garb usually worn by firemen, stokers and engineers. To their captors, OMcers Buchanan and McCabe, of Haver- straw, the Convicts imparted information that will bo douvt lead to the arrest of the two men who ac- companied the Dean Richmond, but it is not deemed advisavle to make it pub lic. {i @ppears that there was AN “ESCAPE RING,” composed of five pet"? cénvicts in the prison, and ‘that the remainder of the twelve who confided their desperate lortunes to the tug boat, seeing a chance ol escape, Dad the Courage Lo go for it, Those who made up that “ring” are believed to be Jacob Weiler, D, &£. Creamer, Walter Willams, Josepa Kingsiand and George Williams. These formed tne party which Jt was desigued by their tends outside to effeci their reiease Irom prison, It will thus be seen that two Of the most notorious in the gang have been secured, and also Kingsland, the par- licu.ars of whose arrest have not yet transpired. ‘Tuere seeins Fo be some doubt about tne alleged cir- cumstance that REVOLVERS WERE FURNISHED tothe convicts, None of the captured men had shooting weapons with them when taken aud they say thal they were not provided with arms of any description. As three of tovse men were conneciea With the “ring” it seems not unlikely that all were without any means of defence beyond that whic navure had given them. The engineer of the tug, Who was still in custody ata late hour yesterday alternoon, in narrating the STORY OF THE ESCAPE from the prison, states that be did not see any of tbe men with revoivers during the passage across the niver. The convicts surrounded we eagine house and shouted, *‘give us plenty of steam,” and one of them picked up @ bammer and threatened to “blow” his (the engineer’s) brains out M he at- tempted to give any alarm. He chunks, from nis circumstance, that the convicts have had REVOLVERS SECRETED, but none were shown while the tug was conveying her oullaweo passengers to tue west shore of the Hudson. While on the boat one of the leaders of the escaping party detailed @ guard from ameng their number to watch the engineer, and, if neces- sary, prevent him irom giving an alarm or doing anything else with the engine than that which they desired. ‘The convicts all got away in two parties by means of boats, which struck the shore near the Nyack landing place, while the two men who had come up With the tug from New York were landea without any ditiiculty at the Nyack dock. The en- gineer says he was AFRAID OF RAISING AN ALARM, a@ithough @ number of blacksmiths were at work near the dock; he was so frightened by what had happened that he says ne lost all presence of mund. Wile on the tug the convicts took ail his clothing, leaving nim nothing but his shirt and pants he bad on at the ime. He Is of the opinion that there was not enough clothing tor all tat came on board, but they made the best use oi ali the articles of apparel Mat were obiaiabdle, ofthe two men who came up with iim from New York, but it is not suflicieutly minnte to be of much service, THE MYSTERIOUS TWAIN. It appears tn addition to all that been already detailed as to what the Captain of the tugbvat did for his two mysterious patrons, he also purchased Jor Wem and brought with him a small fishing boat Which one of the gentlemen (?) said he should re- quire at his new residence on the picturesque banks o! the Hudson. It 1s to ve hoped that ihese two in- dividuais nay find themselves in the clutches Of Lhe law before many days have pasi.

Said | he:—"l was in my barroom about nine o'clock last | might, Wilh some friends, When a siranger, dressed in Joose fiuiiug clothes and apparentiy out of breath, | entered, and, going up to the bar, rested his elbow | on the counter and asked jor a bottle of whiskey. | Jt was a villanous jooking countenance and the eyes jooked down. f toid him we did mot seil liquor by the bottle, when he called for a drink, paid for it and walked hurriedly out, ‘Two of us then in one breatn remarked the suspicions appearance of the map, when we hasuly concluded vo lollow him.

The prisoner made no opposition whatever. He was aii but beat out and couid hardly waik. We gave him supper anc a drink or two and resolved to sit up ali might and guard him. During te bight he was quite taikailve. He said his name was ‘Jack Weiler’ and that he and a Bumper of others had that day escaped from sing Sing Prison.

He saa the Way he caine io join the ‘orevk’ he was sitting on the prison dock ishing and saw the tagboat coming towards the pier, aud When the rush was made he joined the crowd on the spur of the moment.

Earle, proprietor of the saloon corner of West Tenth and West screet, where the tugboat was chartered from, was brought beiore Justice Cox, at Jefferson Market Police Court, yesterday morning, by Captain Washourne, of the Ninth precinct, and, at his own request was sent immediately to Sing Sing. He disclaimed all Knowledge of the use to which the boat Was to be applied and requested the fuhest and closest investigation. He and Captain Washburue arrived yesterday a:ternoon at Sing Sing, and after a short search Justice Howe was found and Was requested to immvestigate the case as far as re- garded Mr. Earle, The Justice immediately OPENED COURT ON THE SIDEWALK of one of the streets, The excitement which pre- ‘Valls Is 80 Intense that everybody seems to be out of doors, each one eagerly asking the other for any adaiuonal information as to the Might and pursuit of the daring dozen. It may readily be surmised, therefore, that the slightest stoppage in any of the streets wili cause a general rash to the spot and that, consequently, in tue open alr court a large audience was peconlly assembled. Justice Howe Was soon satisfied of the fact that Mr. Earle was in no Wise to biome for the occurrence and he accord: ingly discharged him. The captain and engineer of the tugboat had been previously discharged from custody and they left Sing Sing last night at ten o’clock In their now famous tugboat. The excitement in the village 1s commencing to gradually subside, and hopes are entertained of the speedy Feoareare of the remaming seven of the “slopers.” The comments on the affair, however, are in no wise complimentary to the prison officials, and are especially hard on the doctor and general | hospital management. The resuit will be to make the guards and keepers sharper, at least for a time, in the discharge of their duties. Warden Russell Says tbat 18 the intention to punish all those rear- rested with “ball and chain” for three months, Many of the people hereabouts think that some of the brave guards who were so much fnghtened that they could not fire to give an alarm might have a similar dose applied to themselves with much good resuits. Arrest of Another of e Escaped Convicts. Aman named James Connolly, supposed to be one of the convicts who escaped from Sing Sing prison on Thursday morning, was arrested by an officer of the Ninth precinct yesterday afternoon. Mr. Childs, one of the keepers, was unable to iden- tly him. He will be taken to Sing Sing for wenti- ficauon this morning. ORATORICAL OUVRIERS. The Wonderful Workingmen’s Union—Gov- ervor Hoffman, President Grant, Secretary Boutwell aud Others to Give the Union Their Views—A Committce to Look Over the City Accounts Conjunction with whe Chamber of Commerce. A meeting of the Workinzmen’s Union was held last evening at No, 327 Bowery. The attendance Was small but those present strained themselves that the usual quantity of turgid eloquence might be vented. They were thoroughly successful. The great question of the evening was the violations of the provisions of the law fixing the legai number of hours of daily labor at eight. The discussion, dur- ing the course of which many most startling propo- sitions were evolved from the active brains of the labor philosophers was brought about in this wise. Mr. Griffin had been Instructed at a previovs meet- ing to inform Governor Hoffman of the fact toat the Commissioners for the erection of the Capito} at Albany were compelling men employed by them to work ten hours each day, m direct conflict to the “Eight Hour Law. Further Mr. Griffin was required to procure from Governor Hoffman an answer, em- bodying his views in regard to the violation and its prevention. Mr. Griffin having complied with these directions and having received a reply read the let- ter, preceding 1t with his own communication to the Governor. Governor Hoffman’s note set forth tnat he would upon his return to Albany inquire dilli- gently into the offence compiained of, and into the proper enforcement of the law. It concluded by saying that, as the Commissioners of the Capitol are Dot his appointees, he could hardiy be held account- able for their actions. Immediately after reading tt Mr. Griffin denounced it a8 a “politician's letter, such a one ag the workingmen have so often been duped with,”’ and expressea a desire to have it ana- lyzed by the gentlemen present. Well was his wish gratified, The discussion during the analysis took the widest range of subjects. Executive power, violation of the federal law of labor on the new Post Ofice builaing, President Grant's hauteur, were among those touched upon. One speaker got his hearers in imagination to Forts Hamilton and Richmond, and was just about taking them to sea when he was recalled by the chairman. Fiuaily the mouths of the orators were stopped by the adoption of a motion instructing the corresponding secretary to again write to Governor Hoffman to request trom hin a | definite statement of mis views and fis intenuions regarding the enforcement of the law which had been pointed oui to him as having been offended against. Again a debate arose over the reported violation ot the federat labor law at the new Post Office. A resolution was passed instructing the cor- | responding secretary to write to President Grant and Secre'ary Boutwell ana secure iniormation from them as to low the Post Office 1s being built, vy cou- tact or otherwise, and their views regarding the Violation of the law, which shut off further oratory. A bristly-haired gent, who evicently does not read th@ewspapers, now arose and read a series of resolutions cailizg {or the appointment by the Union of @ committee, which should demand to be allowed, in conjunction with onetrom the Chamber of Commerce, to eXamine the clly accounts. ‘A commitiee was appointed to drait a vew Tenement House law, perfect tue Lien law and the Coopers’ Barre!l bill, all of which dvcuments are to be presented at tne next session The meeting was adjourned, after a committee haa been appointed to conter with the Superintendent of the new Post Olce, THE ROCHESTER TRAGEDY, The Character of Viola Karsiner Vindicated— Her Attempted Violators Held for Murcer. {From the Rochester Chronicle, August 18.)

Coroner’s Investigation Into the Causes of the Explosion in the Coal Mine, Experienced Men Unable to Account for the Disaster—The Mines Not Properly Ventilat- ed—Terrible Force of the Explosion— The State I: spector Unable to Per- form His Duties—The Verdict, “Nobody to Blame.” PirrsTon, August 18, 1871. ‘This morning, long before the hour appointed for the assembling of the Coroner’s Court, the en- trance to the Town Hall was crowded and much speculation indulged in as to the character of the testamony that would ve likely to be elicited, It was known that the committee appointed by Dis- trict No, 1 of the mirers had made a report, butt Was not known what the tenor of it was. The im- Pression seemed to be that Mr. Alva Tompkins, the operator of the mines, would be severely cen- sured, as would also the inspector, Patrick Blew- itt. When the door was opened the crowd rushed in and the room was full before the Court was called to order. The HERALD’ reporter was as- signed a seat at the table, and the Court opened and the testimony began in the following order:— Present—J. F. O’Mailey, Coroner; O. F. Gaines, An- drew Bryden, Enoch Cortright, ‘Thomas Smiles, W. J. Bruce, John Lewellyu, jurors. THE TESTIMONY. Henry Harris was the first witness called and tes- tified as tollows in Welsh, Heury Phillips acting as inierprete: I was mining boss on the day of the explosion; I examined the mine in the mormng and found no gas in uny of the works; I first examined it with a safety jamp, and then would take the gauze off my lamp and examine it with the naked lamp; we used # furnace liwe | ven tate the 1 in the mine ax a means of ventilation; I usually at- tended the furnace; it was within twenty feet of the up cast air shaft; Ido not think any liviog man can tell the cause of the explosion; my first impression on examining It was that the fire came from one side, and aiter that made up my mind that it possibly might have been from ‘the other side of the mine; 1 found some boxes and powder kegs that bad been blown from the face of the chambers for ninety feet, towards the gangways, and on further examina- tion I found that the bratticing in the main gangway bad been blown in the opposite direction; there were two old fails in the mine, and I found three new ones since the ex- Josion; the mine was as clear of gas on Monday morning as ever saw it; | went with the men to the heacings and proved wo them that the mine was clear of gas; I dia not ex- amine all of the old workings, because it was impossible to do 80.00 account of the fall of coal; 1 have heurd of but one complaint of cas in the last ten years, and that was some eighteen months ago; I exainined ail of the old workings on the right of the rock tunnel as we enter; [have had churge of tue tire damp for five year some vi the old workings are not ventilated, and Ido n know whetlier they were free from gas or not; the mine re- ceived stall quantity of air from the adjoining inine of the Pennsyivania Coal Company, where we had cut through at one time the pump got out of repair and the bottom o1 the mine filled with water; after we pumped the water out it took a Jong time to ventilate the old chambers, but after we cut through into the other works we have had no com- plaiut of gas in these parts; | always went arouud the old works until the fail at that piace eight months ago; the fall was about three hurdred feet long} I did not find any of the powder in the kegs exploded; it was five o'clock im the morning when 1 went around on Monday; the expiosion took place at about bali-past nine; [did not have any means for testing the air 4 the mine excepting my experience in noticimg the draft; I do not know whether there was any Ee. beyond the tall or not, because I could not get through them; I never made any revort to the inspector; James Williams was the mining boss Previousso my appointment; an explosion occurred oo, the West of the mine before this one on Monday; it was about eighteen months ago; a druuken man was the cause; sisted upon going where I warned him of danger and the gas on fire; at this time the explosion broke nearly all the ‘bratticing ‘in the mine; there was nobody In the mine excepting the drunken man and inyself. The Court here adjourned until two o’clock, when, upon reassembiing, Heury Harris was recalled—I examined the furnace Monday morving before the explosion and {und it was ail ri it. jsanc Williams sworn—Was formerly in charge of the Eagie shaft mines; 1 was there during the occupancy of Mr. Tomkins until the 20th of April Ixst; I considered the sys: tem @ ventilation then good; gas would not umuiate in the old workings; I made ita p intty keep the gus out of these places; the mine was nearly worked out; 1 believe there was a iitile cus on the west side; I was there when the former 1usjector, Mr, Nichols, was there; he told me not to ‘work the mine when the fire wasin the flue; we chi itand fmproved it so as to obviate the danger; the ini would not go down; he said it was too dangerous; Mr. ‘Tompkins aiterwards inquired about the ventilation; I be- Neve the law required that the amount of air psasing through the mine should be reported to the inspector and Wwe conuition of the mine and mxebinerv, but we did not 60 understand it when 1 was there; sometimes in clear days there was standing gas in the mine on the bill; it was very difficult to fe, the air there as it should be, but after we broke through into the Pennsylvania Company's worke we had no difficulty with bad air; J tnink the explosion came from the west side; think it occurred from stauding gas; there bas’ been more or less standing gas for the lost iwo yearn; since we stopped mining bear the company's line we bad no trouble in any other chamber but thie ones 1 think the mine was pertectiy safe; I never knew the gast» gether in large quanuities in« short time; when ‘we were troubled with gas we made every effort to gel It out; the ‘gas in this mine Tose from the bottom coal to the top coal think the air was sufficient for all the gas that was enerated mthe mine since; I left the employ of Mr. Tomp- ‘ins; I recetved a letter from Inspector Biewitt relative to the mines; I never showed itto Mr Tompkins; ft was a re- quest to send a map of mines, amount of alr passing through, And so on; the fire boss was to look after the gas. Henry J.vans, of the committee appointed by the miners to exainiue the mines, was sworn—We went down into the mine yesterday ; we found sullicient means for the passage Of nll the air neceesury fcr the ventilation of themtne; have been a miner for eiciiteen vears; I think by due diligence ani care on the part of the operator that the uccident might have been prevented; tf tle ventilation Iaw had been observed to the letter there would bave been no dangei we found great quantities of gas on the west si ft was about twenty-five yards from the main gangway and near the cave. The principie of ventilation Festerday was the same as on the ay of the accident, but ibe explosion nas broken down the air course, 40 as to ibter- fere with the frce passage of pare air; if there had b fall on the healings the probability is that whatew there would have been blown out into the main gangway there was always gas enou.b in the mine to canse an explo: sion; the furnaes was not working yesterday ; ther nee of an explosion where the men Hay f tain the ex. gion took piace near the place of the old fall, jiams eworn—Was engineer of the mine be- 6 took the work; I'think that the cost of proper Ventilation would have been enormously | nen wonld be abie to do—perhaps upward ; but if the moi g it could have veen ventiated; I always considered Mr. Harria a very caretul, shrewd and able man, and attentive to his ousiness Tam of the opinion that the’ explosion was occasioned by fail of coal on the went side, near the cave in the old work ings, and that tt for gas back into the main gangway and became igrited by the naked lamps of the men ; I consider that Mr. Tompkina made best improvements in ver conducting the gas out of the mine in pipes: it is ve i in a mine that generates as much gas as tlis to keep itcear, but it can be done; there was an accicent in 1866, when I nad carve of tue mines; there was no aitemp: that f know change the move of vextilution to comply with the require- ta of the Ventilation law; I never « idered the mine sf ws ximost impossible to ventilate the mine safely by following the provisions of the law; ifthe mine bad been properly vent!lated it would not have happened, but I do not think it possible todo 60; there was nearly three thousand feet of air passing through the mine per iniuute yesterday without the furnace, and if the furnace had veen in opera- tion It wonld have greatly increased the ventilation; there has been gas on the west side for two or Wree years. Thomas Tucker, sworn—I was @ laborer ii Eagle shaft; war atthe foot of the inain shaft atthe time of the explo- sion; I filled one car of eval at the face and then went at the foot to work by order of the mine boas; 1 did not see any indications of a fail of coal or roof before [left the face for the shalt.
