8 NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1876.-TRIPL REVOLT AT SING SING | the men at once took to the woods after Ir Four Desperadoes Seize a Loco- | motive and Escape. PERILOUS POSITION OF AN BNGINBER, | Unsuccessful Hunt for the Fugi- tive Jail Birds. At half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning an extra lroight train on the Hudson River Railroad approached Sing Sing Prison from the north at a remarkably slow tate of speed, which, it is generally understood, is m tirect violation to the orders of the company when passiug that mstitation, Keoper James Jackson, from | bis seat in the reception room, saw the train emerge from the upper arch at the time mentioned, and in an instant afterward observed three or four convicts jump on board the locomotive, which was numbered 105, and in charge of Engineer William Powell. THR ALARM was promptly given, but unfortunately too late to be of any material serviee, A second or two only were required for the locomotive to reach the lower arch- y, which is about 200 feet in length and,here the cts continued to detach the engine from the re- It may here be stated that the ton’ mainder of the train, gang of desperadoes who planned the escape humbered six, two ofthem apparently being assigned to the task of uncoupling the locomotive. This work they did with the rapidity of experts, for which, however, they were rewarded by being left behind on the train owing to one of the jailbirds on the engine having pulled wide the throttle valve, causing wt to bound away at full speed, No sooner had | the locomotive passed under the archway referred to than {t came into full view of the watehful sentinels | Stationed at the south guard post, who distinctly saw four convicts in prison garb on the flying engine, and despite the fact that the engineer and firemen were | also on the cab | THE GUARDS LEVELLED THEIR KIFLES and commenced firing on the party, The engineer, fearful of being shot, let himself down on the st of that side of the locomotive which wus farthest away from the bullets, supporting himself by bang- ingon to sthe guard, Seeing hun in this position, | and while the leaden missiles were whizzing over | and around, one of the desperadoes drew a revolver, and, pointing 11 downward toward the place where Powell was crouching, deliberately tired at him, the bail passing through the woodwork of tffe cab in | close proximity to his head, Another of the fugitives then, addressing himself to the engineer, said, “You son of a b—h, got inside here and attend to this engine or Vil have your life.’? As there was no alternative the engineer complied, doubtless feeling a httle more secure, as they had by this time passed ‘RRYOND THE RANGE OP THE RIFLES of the south guard post. Accordingly the jail birds compelled Powell to carry them at a full head of steam down to a point about three miles below the | prison and opposite a thick grove known as Fremont's | Woods. Hero they caused the engineer to balt, and, bastily leaving the locomotive, they disappeared in | the thicket. The engineer then backed up his locomotive, connected it with the train and proceaded on his journey, The two less fortunate jail birds, who were deprived of the | gratification of leaving the prison by rapid transit | owing to the selfishness or haste of their associates in | crime, were also seen by somo of the prison officers as the train, detached from its propelling power, moved at | & comparatively tardy pace to the southward | of the prison, These were considered dead | game. A number of guards started at jull speed atter theso fellows and reached the care, Which were now ata stand still about a quarter of a mile below, and almost at the same time that the brace of disappointed criminals had left thom. One of them had, however, . MADE GOOD USE OF ms TIME and was already drossed in a partial suit of citizen's clothing, composed of black pantaloons and vest, white understirtand straw hat. Seeing this man nonchalantly moving in the vicinity of the train, a guard who was not familiar with his features, suspected him, | and, deawing his revolver, told him that he must ac- tompany him to the prison, The convict, on beholding the weapon, threw up both hands, exclaiming, “TL surrender; I'll go back.” This man proved to be John Murphy, a somewhat troublesome customer in the prison, His compasion in disappointment, Francis Degan, was captured by the other guards in the immediate neighborhood a few minutes later, It is believed that Murphy had the citizen's clothes underneath his convict’s dress when ho left the prison, as the striped garb be wore was found on the track near the spot where he was cap- tured, DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF THE FUGITIVES. nes Carponter—Reecived from New York ;wasborn ; twenty-eigh: married: wife, Rose | enter, lives a Clinton street; was living there at of arrest; stature, » foot 8% pounds; complexion, . brown; has on ‘back of night 2) in Ind'a ink; found guilty of i degree ana sentenced September rs by Recorder Hac rreil, alias James MeGuire— New York; aged twenty; born in N mother, Mary, lives at No. 2 was living thero at stature, 3 leet $34 mehes; weigh?, 149 pounds: complexion, florid | wud freckled; hair, red: eyes, hazel; has the letters « "on right forearm and a shield with the figures on leit arm.

Some ot these rowed across the Tappouxee | in the w.retion of Kockland Lake, which point it was thought the ‘mgiives would try to reach ; while others, | | i pout nine | jocomotive they tonnd lying ‘qually allared by tho financial provabilities before bem, hugged the shoro while propelling thet cratts in northerly direction, After rowing for several hours wt es is witout oi mi eatehing that the parties convick was also Stated the aid, two men who were, as was seen to take the bout from Aspinwall’s , found on proceeding a few hundred yards from the shore that their stolen craft was rapidly leaking, and they accordingly returned with all possible despatch. Both of these rumors are, however, net credited at the prison, for it 1s believed that all ‘our of ving the locomotive, ‘THK PLAN OF ESCAPE, From information obtained at the prison yesterday !t would appear that the gang of convicts to which the six men who jumped on board the locomotive and train belonged was working at what is known as the South Quarry, on the prisun grounds, Having received permission from their keeper to attend the morning sick call at tho hospital these fellows, instead ot returning to their task, secreted themselves in the | arch running uuder the prison, and there awaited the arrival of the train, which, as their lucky star would have it, was moving delightfully slow. The engineer States that two of the men bad revolvers, and that one of thom, before leaving the locomotive, reloaded bis six-shooter, This may have been the case; but both at the prison and in its netghborhood the action of the engineer jin running so slowly past the prison was severely criticised yesterday, In this connection it was also asserted that at the time the four convicts climbed nimbly into the cab the engineer Stood looking at them supinely, with ono hand behind his back and the other on the ever of his engine, not offering the slightest resistance to the land pirates who Were about,to make him temporarily their prisoner, THE CHAN During the day scores ens, all well armed, Jeined in the bunt, and so keen was their scent, an ‘ed by the hope of securing a little ready money, diminutive, indeed, must have been the ttiman they would bave overlooked in their vigorous search through the woods. About eleven o'clock in the forenoon a frightened ruralist arrived in the ge of Tarrytown and announced that he had heard several slots fired im the vicinity of Fremont Wor ds, and this intelligeace, coupled with the already | Known circumstance that some, If not all, the escaping desperadoes were armed, occasioned much trepidation, especiaily among the fomales whose husbands and brothers had joined in the bunt. ever, dispelled those tragic apprehensions, as before night set in the small army of pursuers had returned home, satisfed that the clase was then a hopeless one, Although this has beon the second time within a year when the emboldened de have conceived the desperate « motive to facilitate their eseape, very little concern was manifested by the residents “of Sing Sing village, The writer, im conversation with some of these yesterday afternoon, learned that the matter created very little surprise among them. They say that any other condition of things at the prison could not be reasonably expected in View of the many objectionably appointments of su- bord inate officials recently made By Prison Inspecto! hey allude particularly to the last sign of seizing a loco- three appointments made from their village, they being | - | Private Albet | Private Mood, represented ag of such a character as to warra: henstons of most unfavorable results to the dis of the prison ani the interests of society at large, f those three 1 edged baving sery P!

In regard to the escapes of yesterday the warden had little to say. It could be plainly seen, however, that while endeavoring, so far as surrounding circumstances would permit, to govern the turbulent elemont under his charge with fidelity to the State, he felt keenly tha disadvantages under which he was placed, and which had resulted in the, tobim, humiliating performance of the morning. The search for the runaways will be resumed to-day, but the chances of retaking them immediately are not very encouraging. CYRILLE DION ANSWERED. New York, June 2, 1876, To tae Eprror or Tar Herap:— i Your tssue of to-day contains a challenge from Cyrille Dion directed to me. This is needless. My challenge to any player in the world, publicly an- nounced at Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia, on May 2 t, precedes and strips his of all force. Besides, I fancy that Mr. Dion’s object fs not to play me at all, | but to injure the forthcoming tournament at Irving His proposition is to play 2,000 points | Halt, this city. upon four different nights “within two weeks.” As within the next two weeks from the date of his challenge 1 shall be engaged in the Irving Hall tournament, as also will Messr Garnier, Slosson ahd Rudolphe, there is but one player (aside from Mr. C. Dion's own brother) who is at hberty to accept that challenge. That player is Maurice Daly, and | think Mr. Dion really means to play Mr, Daly at another hail while the Irving Hall tonrnament isin progress. However, assuming that Mr. Dion ts really desirous of playing me, I stand Hah to meet him on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights of next week, which are “within the two weeks,” or I will play inm on tour consecutive nights after the two weeks have expired, say beginning June 17. The stake to be $2,000, as he proposes (or larger if bo wishes), and each | night's play to consist of 500 points. The right to name a table I cheerfully waive, and I will accept that named by him, although I consider this equal to conceding him ten per cent of the game, my style of play requiring a thoroughly accurate table and cushion, ButIdo not propose to accept the party named by him as stakeholder, The N ipper. tho Turf, Field and Farm or the New York Sportsman aro ait acceptable to me for the position of stakeholder, and Twill meet Mr. Dion at the office of any one of those papers ho may select for the pur- pose of signing articles. Let there be no more news- paper work, It is but a few days since I offered to toss Mr. Dion for choico of tabie and wazer $1,500 against $1,000, which be declmed, Let him ineet mo to-morrow (Saturday), sign articles and put up $2.000 apicee. WiLLIAM SEXTON, Junk 2, 1876, M. Detaxry, Esq. :— By the morning papers 1 percetve that Mr. Cyrille Dion offers to play any man, in this country a French currom game of 2,000 points, occury ing four suceessive ngs, for $1,000 aside, I accept the challenge, and please find enclosed a check for $: with which to cover his forfeit, MAURICE DALY.

EFFECT OF THE RAILROAD WAR. ——_ + Purapenrata, June 2, 1876. ‘The visitors of the Centennial Exhibition to-day had a foretaste of the midsummer heats, There was de- lightful weather at the close of May, when the air was | like iced champagne—a bright blue lake in the tropics cooled deliciously by an arctic iceberg; and then a visit to the Exhibition was charming. But with June sum- mer sprang suddenly upon us in all her splendid dis- comfort, The sky was white with heat, the distant hills appeared to smoke, and the build” ings were baked as if in a mighty oven. To the oye everything was beautiful, but the perspiring thousands did not find pedestrianism particularly pleas- ant, The heat, in fact, is likely to bo a serious injury to the Exhibition, The facilities tor making the tour of the grounds are insufficient, and their extent is so great that walking from one building to another is wearisome to many people, and especially fatiguing to ladies, The West End Railroad, which en circles the grounds and stops at stations opposito the principal points of itcrest, was expected to be a failure; but, on the contrary, has proved to be a great succegs, It isa necessity, and the Exhibition would be an impracticability without it, ‘Thousands of people only know the extent of the show vy their view of it from these open cars, which are pro- pelied by steam engines on a narrow track. If the rail- road is a tailure at all, it is because Its accommodations are inadequate, It isin a very imperfect state; there are not cars enough and the ticket system is very poor. Butthere is no other means of conveyance or the grounde, with the exception of the four-wheeled arm chairs, which are pushed slowly by men, and are, of course, very comtortable for invalids, ladies and aged people, who wish to see a single department, They are very far from supplying rapid transit, however, and multitude, You will, therefore, easily seo tho effect of a very hot day upon tho attendance of the People naturally prefer the park, with its waving woods and shady paths, rippling streams and the delicious gleams of the sparkling Schuy!kill through vistas of green, to the wide, barren spaces of the Exhibition grounds, the treeless expanses and the hot piteh asphaltum wall There is the thunder of the cars and puffing of the locomotive engines added to the insufferable hear, Then the foghorn blows its uncarthly — shriel startling everybody in the restaurants," making people swallow hot soup the wrong way and __ nervous waiters drop their trays, This fog horn, it is said, can be heard gt a distance of thirty miles, and at that dis- tance it would no doubt be very agreeable. At forty miles it would be still more charming, and at eighty miles I am quite willing to believe it would be delicious, But at the distance of a qu rter of a mile its effect is appalling, I see no use for a fog horn except in a fog, ought to be removed. Ifthe object of the inventors is to prove that the bellowing hora can be heard thirty miles, they bave not put tt in the place where it docs the most good. The proper way to demonstrate its virtues would be to take it thirty mil way {rom Exhibition, for where it is sounded now it proves not! ing but 1ts own awfulness. The managers of the Exhi- bition should do all they can to remove discorde, which nd@ to the distractions of the eye necessary discords of the ear. As for the asphaltum pavement, 1 am sorry to say that it is worse than the lain clay out of which Philadelphia makes her ceie- Grated bricks. Yesterday melted it, and it yielded an- der the feet like frozen mud half thawed. It is sticky, glittermg, soit, Some parts of the asphaitum walks are almost as bad as John Bunyan’s slough of despon- dency, in which poor Pliable and his friends were plunged, and you may tmagine if you can tho despair of aman stuck fast by his boot-heels in a hot pitch pavement just m front of the fog horn when it is about to blow. Theso evils of bad paving, un- necessary noise, imperfect communication’ and the hot sun were demonsirated yesterday, and though the Board of Commissioners cannot in fairness be held responsible for the heat, they should do some- thing to remedy the other beg crowned atures, The Park is the coolest place in iladephia; itis to the old city, which lies betwoen the two rivers, what the Battery is in New York to Third avenue. But with all its breezes, it was hot enough yesterday to drive the majority ot the people who Visited the Centennial grounds yesterday to seek the shelter of verandahs restaurant pavilions and the cafés in the open air, where people round little tables under awnings, sip coffee and smoke cigars and delug Inselves with the idea that — are “doing the Exhibition.” But Rome was not bailtin a day; ittook hundreds of years to build the Pyramids; the Cologne Cathe- @ral is unfinished now, though its foundations were laid centuries Indeed, 1 am imformed that your own new County Court Honse ia still uncompleted, aud that oven Tweed, with ail his energy. and atier the ex- penditure of $10,000,000, could pot succeed in getting a roof upon it in twenty years Yet here isacity built in about six months—raised by the simple enerzy of the American people, as an island in the Pacitic Ocean is created by some submarine upheaval The imporfection of the Exhibition was inevitable, and it is only jastice to say that ft 18 marvellous that so much has been accomplished ina time so short without the presence ot one great organizing mind at the head of it, But these facts are not to be accepted as apologies for errors and neglect which are not caused . by inexperience or haste, There are many faults in the Centennial Exhibition which should be pointed ont at once in order that they may be reformed tn time, Six months hence the Exhibition will be torn down, and it will be too late to critic.se it then, but now 18 the opportunity of building tt up. | This is not to be done mere! proclaim!ng merits _ which are obvious, bat by calling attention to defects which it is yet possibie to remove. REDUCED RAILROAD RATES. One great impediment to the overflowing volume ot expected American visitors has recently been happily and unexpectedly removed in the extraordinary reduc- tion of ratlroad fares, The partial reduction of twenty- five per cent on excursion tickets did not wholly meet the public expectation, and doubtless many persons at distant pomts were led, in consequence, to postpone their long looked for pilgrimage to the cradle of hberty and to liberty’s glorious monument of progress until later in the season, while a small proportion may have felt disinclined to come at all, But the same kind fate which has thas far guided the destiny of the Cen- tennial has ordained that this impediment shail no longer exist. * The rivalry of the loading trunk jines to the West jhas developed into an actnal war, and as the first result of thix, the regular rates to Philadelphia have actoally fallen below the diminished Centenn! Tates, so thata Western passenger buying a regular ticket for Philadelphia can now get oue cheaper than he could a tew days ago have purchased a Centenn' ticket. Now, therefore, is the accepted time for t West. Western visitors can now reach the Exhibition atrates which may be said to cover merely the ac- tual lirst cost of transportatfop. Now that the rates have reached this exceedingly low figure, and, in view of the likelihood of a settiement of diiheul- ties and a new combination between the rival lines at an early day, with the consequent increase of fares, it would hardiy be prudent for Western visitors to deter their trips, No better opportumity than the present tor cheap rates is likely to be afforded the travelling ubliC. st THE MASSACHUSETTS PRESS ASSOCIATION, numbering 144 editors and representatives of Massa- chusetts newspapers, many of whom are accompanied by their wives, arrived at the Centennial depot of the Pennsylvania Ratitoad at noon upon an excursion to the Exhibition, The party left ton on Thursday evening, and propose to devote their time exclusively to the Centennial. Upon their arrival they were taken had been selected as their headquarters, and, after lunch, visited the Centenmual grounds, spending the remarnder of the day in a toar through many of the buildings. To-nigut a grand bail was given at the hotel in hovor of the asseciation, The members adopted a comprehensive p! by which they propo: to systematize their visits to the Centennial grounds, TUR ADMIASIONS, ‘The total cash adnissions trom May 10 to May 31, inclusive, foot np 374,028 ‘The largest number of missions on any day since the opening was on May 30 (Decoration Dey), Which shows a total of 52,633, of which 41,111 were paying visitors, On Monday the West End Passenger Railway will have their new engines on the road.

PLYMOUTH Germans Atter ti PRAYER MEETING, There was as large an attendance as usual at Plym- outh prayer meeting last evening. Mr. Beecher dis- | coursed at considerable length on the subject of prayer. After tho usual singing and prayers, which were oftered by Brothers Charles Morton and Connor, Mr. Beecher said:—The philosophy that reigns in a church at any given period, and the condition of a church in those periods when she 18 reytved, bring in a pecubar style of expression and a peculiar way of thinking. Now, if you should read the extortations in the New Testament to payer, my impression is that prayer would be regarded as a most cheerful and joyiul exercise. I am struck with the number of times the Apostle says, pray cheerfully, pray hopefully, gladly, Not that he uses those exact words, but ones to that effect. But when in certain seasons of church life the doctrine of depravity was considered necessary then there came up a habit of teaching Christians to pray with a profound recognition of their sinfulness. ‘This took place when the Charch was roused up from its carnal conditicn and was in a state of fervidic reformation. Both on account of the emphasis given to that doctrine of human depravity and on ac- count @f the fact that the inspiration of zeal to new life in the church took lace in the midst of great depresston, the habit has come down to us to speak of prayer in the most uncomplimentary fashion. Far be it from me to say & man Must not confess his sins, but when everything is bright and hopeful I don’t want to get out of that feeling, and go to try and find something to make me feel the other way. If I am hopelul I want to pray joyfully, and I don't want to confes “our righteousness ts but filthy rags,” we ‘abhor ourselves,” that we repent “dust and ashes.’ If a man fecls so let him contess it; but does he fecl so? I can understand how some men carry with thom a shadow all the time, bat, on the other hand, a man 18 naturally confident, courageous, hopefut. 1 have seen just such mon pray- ing in just sach ways. It cton’t belong to them; they have not that feeling; and it ts A MISCUIETOUS HAUIT to bring into your prayers doctrinal statementsas if they were personal (eeiings. A man ought to pray whal is the | truth or what he wants to be the truth, bot reprehension of ourselves in extreme terms does no good. Persons | with a bright, amiable disposition, who discharge their they confess titat they are “abominations before God,”” and it is “midnight 1m their soul.” Is is true that all are sinfol, but it is not true that such experiences are given in ordinary cases, Now why confess jt at all? It is not a pleas- ant thing for a neighbor to come in day iter day, telling me all the while of s ailments, I would get tited of it aud would say, “I want you to visit somewhere else or else talk about something else.” How do you suppose Christ likes to hear about your sores ail the time’ If you feel that you cannot help cheating or lying go boiore God and say, “Lord, I feel that I am a thief,” or “Lord, I have lied like a pirate all day.’’ That goes to the point; it does some good. But when people coniess that they are clothed with the “tiltby rags of unrighte- ousness;’’ that they were born in sin, they never touch the point where they are faulty.’ They hide themselves under these generalities; whereas their envy, their stinginess, their avarice, their grasping | ambition, therr personal sins t| never touch, Now, it a man is convinced of his infirmity and really needs let him go alone before God and contess the ‘sin that touches the point where he needs help. It is unwise to use figures of speech in prayer, unless they are new and original; by rep jon they prevent the object they attained in the beginning, Whon a man talks about hope ag an anchor, that docs ‘very well for the tirst time, but when ho has said it 5,000 times he thinks all the time about the anchor and Det at all about the hope (laughter). Ii we can come to God as to a father and talk as children to a father, ‘we get the best idea of God as represented in the New ‘Testament. Mr. Beechor here gave an opportunity for any who desired to speak, and two brethren drew Mr. Beecher ont farther on subject of | ig el after which Brother Morton told Mr, Beechor he was glad they had had that talk, as he had found out things he would not have done otherwise. “Yes,” said Mr. Boecher; “a minister ts like a cow, you have to milk him.” A business meeting was held after the prayer mect- ing. WALKING ON THE HIGH ROPE. A private exhibition of high rope walking was given yesterday afternoon at Joues’ Wood by Siguorina Marve Speiteriui, The leading theatrical, circus and | variety managers and the members of the press were invited, but Swing to some mistake as to the day the attendance was small, The rope, 120 feet m length, ‘Was stretched at a height of seventy feet from the | ground, and at twenty minutes past five o'clock P, M. the artist made her appearance and saluted the audi- ence. The Signorina first watked the length of the rove and then returned with baskots on her feet. She then ran along the rope, and in her fourth act she brought a chair attached to her waist to the contre of the rope and then sat down on it. She gradually rose up and stood on tho chair that was balaneed on the rope. She then retarned with her chair and, start- ing afresh, executed a very gracetul posture act and danced to the end of the rope ina polka step, and re- turning, ran backward.
