Ezlin and William Williams of the Elgin stables left Albany aiter midnight in carriages to drive to Corvallis. Two well-known and respectable ladies accom- panied them, because they had missed a boat. Egiin had been drinking. The women's peculiar story is that when near the suburbs of Corvaliis the one who bad been riding in Eglin's carriage left it, and both rode the remainder of the dis- tance with Williams in the first buggy. Eglin was left behind and that was the last seen of him. His buggy was found wrecked.

Scores of Desperate Characters Fail in a Clever Attempt to Escape. YUMA, Ar1z., Jan. 5—The most daring and best laid plan for escape in the his- tory of the Arizona Territorial peniten- tiary was discovered last night by acci- dent, and a large number of Arizona's criminals who were figuring on a vacation will be compelled to linger & while in the “snake den” and subsist on bread and water. The project was shrewdly managed, and that it was unsuccessful was no fault of those gambling with fate for their free- dom. The shop where the convicts manufac- tured onyx ornaments stands about thirty feet from the north wall of the prison in- closure, and to reach the outside by means of an underground passage from the shop was the daring plan concocted by the con- victs. Over thirty feet of an adamantine cement formation must be dug through, eight feet of solid rock under the outside wall must be penetrated, but the rewara for the work was to be liberty, and they deemed the end justified the means. Inthe onyx shop stand a number of chests used for holding the rock the work- men use, and one of these was made to conceal the mouth of the tunnel and the men working their way to freedom. The bottom was taken from the box, a convict hid inside and the cover was closed znd locked. Then the work began, and a hole four or five feet deep and large enough to admit of a man working handily was dug straight down. From there the tunnel was started straight for the north wall of the inclosure, slanting slightly upward, so as to strike the open air outside the prison wallata favorable place. The dirt was removed from the tunnel by means of a flour sack. Whenever the workman underground had filled the sack he would tap on the box concealing the mouth of the opening, the lid would be opened and the sack of dirt removed and concealed in other chests. Several chests were.filled in this way, as a large amount of excavating was required to make the tunnel. The work was carried on so carefully that the dig:ingof the tunnel was com- pleted. The pushing out of a rock would bave cleared the passageway to freedom, and perhaps to-night the break would heve been made. From thirty o forty men work in the onyx shop, and they were probably all en- gaged in the desperate enierprise. Now that the tunnel has been found, evidences of most carefully and wisely laid pians are discernible on every hand. On the first favorable night some con- vict would have tapped the *'sick” signal on his cell, and when the guard on duty in the cellhouse entered, Le would have been knocked senseless or killed, if necessary, his keys secured and the pris- oners liberated from their cells, Erom tho cellbouse a'corridor leads to the dining-hall, on the west end of which and near to the onyx house, where the tuonel started, is a window conccaled by bashes from the eyes of the guards. To remove the iron bars of this wicdow would have been short work and egress could have been made. From there into the onyx house was a distance of but a few steps. Once in the onyx house the coast would have been clear, and a very few moments would have sufficed to have made the under- ground passage to freedom. The authorities are reticent as to how the plan was discovered, but it is not im- probable that a trusty who knew of the project exposed it. About 230 convicts are confined in the penitentiary, and a large number of exceptionally desperate men are included among them, ’ To Advertise the San Joaguin. STOCKTON, Car., Jan. 5.—The Stock- ton Commercial Association held a special meeting to-nigat to take action regarding the Hamburg exhibit.

SALT LAKE, Uran, Jan. 5.—The unex- pected breaxing up of the Democrat-Pop~ | ulist fusion in the Idaho Legislature and the coalition between the Democrats and silver Republicans, by which the former were enabled to organize both houses and carry off all the appointments, has given anew turn to the Senatorial contest ana séems to indicate that the Populists, in- stead of securing the senatorship, as they expected to do by the aid of the Demo- crats, will be left out in the cold. Informal caucusing has been going on all day, and the prevailing opinion is that ths breach between the Democrats and | Poputists cannot be bridged, and that the senatorship will go either to Dubois or a Democrat—probably Johnson. Claggett, Angel and Cooper, the Populist say that the action of the Democrats 1n joini the silver Republicans in organi: Legislatare has no Senatorial significance.

Special interest exists on account of the fight for the seat of Senator Voorhees. The friends of Charles A. Fairbanks, | temporary chairman of the St. Louis con- vention, claim Le is in the lead, and the | claim is substantiated by the fact that the | other candidates are not gathering strength or doing much active work. Hiram Brownlee’s recent withdrawal is taken as a strong card in the interest of Fairbanks, whose friends are also making much of the fact that General Lew Wal. | lace’s home Grand Ariny post in Craw- fordsville has failed to adopt resolutions indorsing him for the senatorship.
