Tur Bee man was, of course, on hand and, on taking a peep at the risoner, became satistied that Morse ad bigger game than he thought. He recognized in the prisoner the notorious Tom Ingalls, who has be- come known, especially in Wisconsin, by his burglarious exploits and by his jail breaks. Tue Ber, to make the identity complete and certain, telegraphed to the authoritios in Wis: consin and secured a eomplete desorip- tion, and the officers there becoming satisfied that ‘“Dean Derming” is none other than Tom Ingalls, send word that they will come on at once and take him back to Waupun, where he is wanted badly to serve out an unex- pired term in the state prison. Tom Ingalls, on tinding that he was surely recognized and identified by Tue BEe reporter, at last owned up that he was the man. It appears that Ingalls was for some time a resident of Janesville, where his widowed mother still lives, and where he has for some time made his headquarters for brief stays. On one of these visits to that city he burglarized a olo house, and was tracked dowa and jailed. He immeliately began playing the insanity dodge, and so shrewdly did he act, that it was some little time before the experts who watched him could determine whether he was sane ornot. They became perfectly matisfied, however, that he was sane, and he was put on trial. Miss Goodell, the lady lawyer, now dead, was his attorney, and she seem to be living in the harmony expected of matrimonial life, She complained of her Samuel for threatening to shoot her, and Justice Trainey fined him §5 and costs. Yesterday Samuel had her arrested for assaulting » neighbor’s ' child, the as- sault consisting of alapping its face. Jus. tice Trainey fined her one dollar and oosts. —The repetition of Rev. Mr. Copeland's sermon on ‘‘Doubt” was listened to Sun- day afternoon by a goodly sized audience considering the unfavorable weather.

He wrote a number of letters back to Janesville, expressing repentance, charging his downfall to drink, and even indicted some of these epistles to young ladies in that dity whom he had known in his boyhood. By the sympathy felt for his widowed mother, and by the apparently hon- esty and penitence which character- mdy his letters, a number ot the church folks rallied to the aid of his Miss Goodell, who never lost her faith in the final reformation of her client. By their combined of- forts a pardon was secured for him, —The city calaboose s certain'y a hor- | and tho prodigal was welcomed home rible hole into which to thrust men, even though they be criminals. The place has its floor ecrubbed once a ,week, but even then it is unfit for human habitation. The stench, the unkept ani rude appear- ance of everything makes it a masty den. ‘The new city council should visis it for themselves, and devise ways and means for providing rosmier and neater quarters for those who are arrested. ~There seems to be some deubt about the evidence showiog that it was John Parsons who assaulted Mrs, Hubbard. and that charge sgainst him has been dis- missed. An information has been filed, however, charging him with perjury, it being ed that his whole story about seeing somebody knock diwn and rob Mrs. Hubbard was made up by him and wwornto in the hope of convioting some- body of the erime, and secure for himself the reward of $50 offered by the muyor. —_—— PERSONAL.

He had hardly been given this wel- come, and was still receiving the con- gratulations of acqumntances on his resolutions to lead a new life, when he broke iuto a tailor shop and got away with several hundred dollars worth of ol thing and cloth. The officers succeeded in capturing him, and after some delay he was tried and convicted, Miss Lizzie King, another lady lawyer, was his attorney, and Ingalls was sentenced to three years in state prison. By great offort a new trial was secured, but it resulted in his conviction again, and he was sentenced to five years. This was about a year ago and he was again taken to Waupun, He had only’ served there for a short time, when he managed' to es oape. He with several others hud been sent out witha guard to gather some corn, After working a while it began to rain, and the prisoners were ordered to fill up the wagon and fall in line to march back to quarters. In- galls and two others improved this chance to make a break and they ran_ for their li The guards fired at the runuing convicts, and as soon as possible chase was given, One of the three was recaptured, but Ingalls and avother o d, and neither has beon seen to be crd vutil Tae BEE man recognized Ynsel horo, Thewe was, however, one exception to this wlieh shows Ingalls’ boldn s, 800 efee Ris cseapa from Waopun he ,’vhu his mocher in Jaucs rocgeded to got a disguise and male & which he shought would defy the o¥lest acquaintance.

He went directly down the main streot of the city without a recoguition and entercd the office of the lady lawyer who had defended him, He simply asked a question, but as the lady lawyer gave a little scresm he saw ~he was recog- nized and hurrigdly ran and escaped the town as qmadl{y as possiblo, Ingalls is now in jail here awaiting the arrival of the ofticers from Wis- consin, He is quiet reticent about many things in his life, and is evi- dently bound not to give away any of of the late Gov.

This evening at Dohany’s is 10 be given Elliott Barnes’ great play “Only a Farmer’s Daughter,” which made such a hit in Now York where it was played for a hundred nights. Ade- laide Cherie, the star, lays claim to being the handsomest woman on the stage. The Brooklyn Eagle says of of her: ‘‘She carries the double character with rare skill and abiiity for one 8o young in years and in stage experience. Fairly judged, she is a succees, The company supporting her includes Mr. Barnes himself, Bertha Welby, Erroll Dunbar, and Little Mamie, who is a wonderful child actress. A most sleuiug enter- tainment is assured, and one that is fresh and sparking. The company and play have won high praise all along the road, and enthusiastio audi- ence have greeted them nightly.

Last year the mayor drew about $400. The present mayor's salary is fixed at $600. Last year the recorder drew $900, and served as police judge and city clerk. He was assisted bya finance clerk at a cost of $300 yearly. The work thus done is now divided among several. The auditor now has a salary of $760, the city clerk will have $300 or $400 more, and the judge of the superior court draws a salary of $2,000, one-half of which is paid by the city. This change will in all probability cost the city about $1,200 additional. The city treasurer is to draw $500, instead of $300 as last year. The office of marshal has been created at & cost of $500 yearly, and a deputy marsha) is yet to be appointed and his pay fixed. The cost ot the police force will probably remain about the same. Under the new administration there is to be one chief, at a salary of $70 » month, and seven policemen at a salary of $60 a month. Before there were five policomen at $70 monthly and a chicf at $100 monthly. Before last November the patrolmen received $60 monthly and the chief $90. The office of city solicitor has been raised from $400 to $700. The new adminigtration will find with the multiplicity of offices that more room will be needed and there will be some additional expense for rent it suitable sccommodations ure given, One other financial fact is of inter- esat. All the condemnations on Union and Vaughan avenues are reportod as sottled, and all on Washington with two exceptiona.
