They started for ‘‘home, sweet home,” and went down the alley like the wind, turning sharply to go into the barn. The bus rode on two wheels part of the time, but finally settled right side up.

Like Lawyers They Secure Re- lease by Occupying the Floor and Practicing at the Bars, How It Was Dq Yesterday afternoon while the court was in session, and Sheriff Guittar and deputies naturally occupied with legal business, Mrs. Schontz, the wife of the was heard to seream soveral times for holp, Mr. Schontz who was in the court house, made quick response and was soon made aware that ther a juil break and a rush of prisoners. Sherifl Guittar, who was in the court jaile and was room, grabbed his hat and revolver and with Deputy Metealf aud others came down the stairs on the jump, in time to to join in the chase of the escaping pris- The prisoners who brok and oners. ran in different directions, there was a prompt and lively chase after them in which, besides those named, Constable Clatterbuck, Mr. Wesley, Mr. Kirkland and others joined. * Jailer Schontz captured one of the skipping fellows near the wall in the court-house yard, before he had a chance to get over the fence,and at on. him inside and locked him up. Charles Weihle, from Crawford county, a young fellow who had been brought here and placed in jail for snfo keeping until his trial should take place there. The sheriff and others soon came back with another prisoner. This was the man Murphy, arrested for stealmg a largo quantity of clothing from Forman's store. Murphy was found lying in an alley back of Dr. Rice’s house, trying to hide himself. When he found himself covered with a revolver, he throw up his hands and was brought peaceably back, all out of breath, sweating p begging for cold water and a fa Soon a third one was brought in. Tt was the boy Uhle, who was arrested in Missouri for stealing a horse from Acoca, and who has already confossed to the crimo, his confession having already cen published in Tur B Young Ulle had got down as barn, and hid himself in the hay maw. Tho pursuers were so closo onto him that they saw him enter the barn, but they hunted inside for him quite a time, and were about to give it up when it was suggested that he might be hidden under the hay. A pitchfork was called into use, and it was decided to thrust this into the hay. Hearing this conversation, and fearing that he might get cruelly punched, he hurriedly crawled ot and gave himself up. He had been hid- den under four feet of hay, and was 80 nearly overcome with the heat that he could hardly wals. Mr, Kirkland captured another of the escaping prisoners, Sebastion Myer, whe was sont horo from Carroll county on a charge with intent to commit great bodily injury, he having hit a rival lover over the head with a whiffletree. Myer was found hid in the weeds in Mr. Culver's back yard. This made the four recaptured, but there were four more who were still at large. One of these is the notorious Fred Hill, held here as a confidence man. No witness could be got at the last ses- sion of the grand jury, and his case was put over for next December's grand jury to dispose of, with mno very great probability of there ever being an indiot- ment found against him, however, Ho = is a sharp, keen fellow, and when dress- ed up looks quite like some pert clever clerk. When he left, so unceremonious- 1{ yesterday he had only a hat, w shirt and dark pantaloons on. He'is quite fair comploxioned, and stands about fiye feet ten. Another one who was not recaptured, was the darky, Ed Smith, who recently shot at and wounded another colored man. - The latter had skipped out rather than appear against him, but there was found other evidence sufficient to bind him over, The darky is quite tall, being fully six foet one or two inches, and is quftte slim, and quick moving. A third one one of the uncaptured is the man Kane, ardested for being o tramp, and for burglarizing Mrs. Dur. gon's house, carly one morning. He is about five feot ten, slim buil, sandy comploxion, smooth face, wore gray clothes, and hus a fpeculiar manner of ' dioping his chun while listening to anyone tatk, Another prisoner missing is hamed Forreste He was arrested with a part ner for getting away with considerable jewelry from Mrs, Davis' store on Broad way, His partner got out on a writ of habeas corpus, while he has taken an- other, but equally sure release, For roster has light hair and a rather dark moustache.

Jacob Ellinger, the Pretzel Man, Done to His Death by the Cars, It was recorded in Tue Bek of yester- | day morning that the body of Jacob El- | linger was found about 9 o'clock on the evening of Wednesday, lying horribly, mangled on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad track, at the crossing of Avenue | C, in this city. Coroner Faul was noti- fied and swore in a jury, consisting of Messrs. Pryor, Connell and Darnell, who viewed the body and procecded to inves No verdict was reached tigate the case, that evening, and yesterday morning the jury a verdict in accord ing facts, as adduced by the testimon, Jacob Ellinger was a Gorman who made and peddled pretzols here in the city, He was a man of intemperate habits, About dusk he left home to a store to get some salt. o'clock his wife, who is in a delicate con- dition, started out to meet him, or to sce if he was not coming, and to stay with a ighbor until his return. When she ched the crossing of Avenue C shew. erribly shocked at finding a dead body, which, though mangled, she recognizéd by the shreds of clothing to be that of her husband. She applied for help to Mr. Gideon Leverguio and wife, who rose from their beds and helped her drag the body from the track. Both feet and one apm were cut off. The head was completely sovered from the body, and completely crushed, and the frag seattered for a rod along the tracl what was left of the trunk was horribly mutilated. Coroner Faul turned the o to undertaker Faul, and it cently cared for. The jury having satisfied themselves by inspection of the ditferent engines s cars that Ellinger was killed by the train | attached to engine No. 373, James Ma- | lone, engineer, summoned the engineer, | the switchman, and night y.'mhn:wh-r.l | From them it was ned that engine No. 873 attached to six freight cars ran ) from Broadway to the yard about 8| | o'clock. The engineer and switchman }wm-“n the engine and were keeping a | lookout, but saw no one ‘on the track. The yardmaster was riding on the rear " one of them felt, saw or heard, so they testified, anything which would lead them to think they had run over anything. The yardmaster testified that |a short time before a German who ap- peared to be intoxicated came around the cars ho was switching in the Broadway yards, and appeared to be trying to get ter further inves lance with the igation, rendered onto, or dodge under the cars, He or- dered the man off, and after some words the man started north along the track. Soon after that ho hitched onto six freight cars that had been standing there and took them up to the round houseyard and left them there, going from there with the same engine and another lot of cars down to the transfer. Tho threo men first learned of the killing on their return at midni An oxamination of the six cars refe to, shows that the third car from t} gino is besmeared with blood, brains, bits of flesh, and shreds of clothing, There 18 some blood on the cars to the f this one, but none on those ahead of it, and no_more on the engine than would naturally get on when it mado the return run, Tho_opinion prevailed that the man was riding between the first and second cars, and as the cars passed the crossing he either attempted to jump off or slipped and fell ncross tho track. The evidence before the jury did not tend to show any carelossness on the part of the employes of the road., —— Dr. West, dentist, 14 Pearl street. —— The Circus Day. There was a large crowd drawn to the city yesterday as on other circus days, save that the crowd was a little larger than usual, the street paradea little lon- gor making its appea and the stroots consequently thronged with anx ious waiters for a longer time, There was unusually of crooked hangers-on fand followers of the circus, and the regular police foace supplemented as it was by a large num- bor of specials, had their hands full to keep order and prevent swindling. There were @ variety of streot games, lottery chances, wheels, etc., which were protected under a license from the city. It was ditficult to see where most of these were any improvement over the gambling places over which such a howl has been raised, The circus itself was much like other circuses, and there was the usual hurrah and crowding, giving a lively as- pect to the main streets.” ance, an number large -|L.
