PRISONS^ Pi'
[New York World!J,
Edward S. Stokes, alter nearly six
years of imprisonment, yesterday
morning at 8* o’clock was satisfied
that at length he was* a free man.
Six years of fighting against the law
has made a young man gfriay-haired,
but his pluck never tailed him, and
when some one suggested a few days
ago the possibility that a personal arid
violent attack might b$ made upon
him by “ the gang frofi Eighth ave
nue,” Stokes said : “1 do not, I
shall not invite tvoubj^f but I shall
defend myself and I not unpre
pared ” He added tfiat he knew
what it meant to offencl/tjie law, and
that lie should never provoke a quar-
rel. Since Stokes lias been in prison,
he has paid in'lawyers’;fees and other
expenses nearly $300,000. He says,
openly, that had he been-willing to
pay $2,500 for tlie privilege, lie would
not have been drafted frbmSing Sing
prison to Auburn. While in Sgin
Sing, Stokes regularly ibdthe officials,
and lived, in the language of his-fel
low-convicts, “ like a bird.” He has
no hesitation in. saying, now that any
one with money or political influence
can do about as he pleases in either
Sing Sing or Auburn-prison. When

Loaded by some-tlie bindery, ami by

met Woodford, tlie incendiary, and
George Clayton, tlie burglar, and
spoke to them of thehospitaL .-tfeTood-
I ford said, “ I cun get in there for §5,’’
I “ So can I,” echoed Clayton. Stokes
i handed each of them a $5 bank-note
i to start for the hospital. Within an
hour, both werie registered ’- r pri the
sick list, and the deputy physician
had the $10 ip liispocket. Dr. Iloxie,
the chief physician, spoke * to the
Warden. They had learned that
Stoketfpjtid ,thc money. Then they
took him into the hospital, and ho
ffiinatncd BtfiS’e up, to fhfiilamft ofdas
release. He never did five iminutes’
work for the State in Auburn, and
never ate a mouthful of prison food.
He paid for all that he -had received,
and had plenty of good food. “I
might have lived cheaper at Delmo-
cico’s,” said Stokes to the World
reporter, “but there is no use of
gropdlbg about,fit p^w^ 'J^ghi^^Se
past few days I nave met convicts
who, witli tears in their eyes, whis
pered to me: ‘ Stokes, when you
got out tell ’em what they do to us
here.’ I know what they do. The
* paralyzing jacket,’ the most inhu
man pf all* punishments within my
knowledge, is ruining men forever.
A convict is laced in a canvas jacket
until, in fact, ho is paralyzed,'and
then he is unfit for work and is
thrown in his cell to die. But the
officials are very careful to inquire
concerning th<f man they punish. If
Jio has money or friends, he is all
right ; but God help the friendless
and the penniless man. Governor
Tilden ought to acquaint himself
with these facts arid then take some
action. I am#, satisfied that a fair,
upright Governor* who investigates
either Sing Sing or Auburn prisoa,
would turn out the rapacious and
wiriked officials. > <
Stokes and party,, consisting, of his
brother an<f Colonel Nuttman, Joseph'
Colghte," the World reporter, and an
other newspaper representative, took
a smoking-car to Syracuse, and there
entered a drawing-room car and went
to Albany, where dinner was served
in the Del a van House. On the way
to this city, the platforms at the sta«*
tions were crowded- by persons who
wanted to see Stokes. Women stared
at him as-though ipr dear life,'and
one aged female presented him with
a card on which was printed, “ Come
to Jesus.’’ Stokes ordered two bot
tles of champagne at Utica, and the
party drank his health. He said that
he was not afraid of any personal
attack upon hiiri in this- city. He
took rooms at the, Hoffman House
last night. He inteudfl-.lp call upon
Commodore Vanderbilt this morning.
He says, “ No man on earth has been
so good-toi me as the old Commodore
has been.’’ This week Stokes .will
visit the Centennial ; then he will re
turn to prosecute his $250,000 suit
against Jay Gould. He means, to go
into business at once, having pur
chased a patent' asphaltum pavement,
which lio says is something that no
citv can do withont.,
* -i - » .
Stokes did not think that tho-riu*f
terday. He imagined that through
some trick, they would detain hiiri.
He employed Lyman Treman, had a
habeas corpus ready, and at an ex
pense of §1,500, was jnepared to bat
tle with the Warden of the prison.
Stokes is gray-haired, and wears, a
brown mustache and goatee.
Miss Dickinson’s Costumes.
As the lady readers of the Times
will doubtless appreciate a descrip
tion of tlie dress worn by Miss Annie
Dickinson in “ The Crown ofThorns,”
we reproduce the following from the
Cincinnati Enquirer of last week:
The first costume is a creamy bro
cade withj uby velvet trimmings and
gold embroidery, of perfectly bewild
ering beauty'and harmony in every
detail. *
The second costume (when Annie
is supposed to be at home) is a Mdt-
tcnuch green satin, with , a crimson
and cloth of gold over-dress of the
Venitian style, unique and piquante,
with a subtile suggestion of the aute-
rpnaissance period, f j , , : ....,,; f .
The third is a marvel of brocaded
beauty, iu color the azure of an un
clouded summer sky—with a royal
train of blue velvet and. ermin.e—
airdle of diamouds and pearls, with
a diamond crown and necklace,
stomacher of. woven pearls and old
lace.--, . * .■■■-• 1
The fourth and last costume is not
the traditional black velvet in which
queens are supposed to go to their
deaths, but a study in itself. It iS
6omber, yet full of passionate sug
gestion of intense but smothered fire,
typified by a blending of black .lace,
giving the effect of the running lava
of Vesuvius, showing here and there
through its gealed surface.
These dresses arc all historically,
correct, and, togetHer with her dia
monds, could not have cost less than
$10,000. Her wardrobe is an Amer
ican one, having been made in New
York.

for the.arrangement of all pending
questions, on tlie basis'of the English
proposaj.”
A Reuter dispatch from Constanti

dispatch to the Standard from Paris,
and one to the Daily Telegraph
from Constantinople, also state that
a conference will be held, and adds
that the representative of the Porte
will he admitted to it by some such
compromise as that described by the
London Post, of October 31st, ac
cording, to which the six powers
will deliberate on the reforms and
the Turkish representative will only
take a seat while the results are to
be declared.
White-winged Peace.
London, Noveiriber 4.—Montene

terms as Servia. It is stated the
Austrian Ambassador at St. Peters
burg’ has been ordered to go to
Livadia, and it is rumored that r the
Grand ^taier will go*. Ljiere
also on’ a ^confidential mission. A
dispacth from Belgrade’to the Times
confirms] the statement that the ar
mistice as accepted by the Porte is
unconditional.
The official announcement is a two
months’ armistice from November
1st. Hostilities to cease immediately,
both armies retaining positions accti
pied upon received notice. It is un
derstood that there are no other con
ditions attached and that Montene
gro'has also accepted the armistice.

withdrawal of Turkish troops from
Servia, winch Turkey Cannot assent

armistice has been agreed upon by
Turkey and Servia, the influence ' of
war anticipating' will not have the
effect, as of late, of exciting specula
tion ; but,a stock taking at the close
of the month shows that the short
supplies coming since September first
have resulted in a material reduction
in the quantities in a granary. There
appears to be a fair element for
steadiness at enrrent rates at Liver
pool. We have 204,000 quarters
less in store now than on August
31st, and our local consumption, with-
outgoing to the interior elsewhere,
makes an average in the interval of
