ISAM JULIAS ESCAPE.
Early Friday morning; it was ilis
covered that Sinn Hill bad escaped
from the asylum* in Millotlgct file,
wliero lie htul been sent by u sccoinl
jury ui>oi) t\ trial for lunacy, after lie
had boon louml guilty ol the murder
cl Cox in Atlanta, and sentenced to
tho penitentiary for life.
It will be remembered that nearly
every reporter who bus visited the
asylum and Hill, liasrleßCrlhctlfln ex
traordinary picture which the unfort
unate man was painting upon the
wall of his room; a picture represent
ing the court-foom and (lie various
figures therein—himself, wilo, judge,
etc. This picture was but merely
outlined when last wesuw it. Hill ap
pears to have had other intentions
than mero amusement when ho be
gan that picture. He was al lowed
to have paints and materials necessa
ry for his work, for no attempt to es
cape was anticipated by the authori
ties. His room opened into a corri
dor on the third lloor. At each end
of the corridor there was a door,
which was kept locked. Hill's meth
od of escape can only be guessed at
from the tracks he left. It is sup
posed to have been ns follows: 11 is
room door was always locked from
the out side. Ho wanted to get a
key to fit that lock and to get an im
pression, cut a square block out ol
Ihe door laying bare the block was
under an old piece of canvass, which
hung over the lock for weeks, and
which ho was nccuslomcd to
try his colors. The block neatly re
placed, and the cut place scarcely vis
ible.
Having thus obtained an impres
sion ot his lock, was an easy matter
for him to turn it over to any one of
the numerous friends who visited
him, and to receive in return a key a
few days later. With the means of
escape at his disposal, lie
doubtless slipped down the hall one
night and obtained an impression of
the corridor lock, from which a
Iriend likewise obtained for him a
key. He had then the means ol leav
ing the asylum at his pleasure, for
the path to the front door was unob
structed.
A Committee from Kansas is

Comparatively few people in this sec
tion know much about bridge building
scientifically. The immense care and
complete precision ecessary in con

railroad travel can le partially ap
preciated when it is remembered that
the repairs of one bridge across tiie
Susquehannah river, at Havre de Grace,
where the water in tlie channel is sev
enty-five feet deep, has been going on
six years. It will have cost when com
pleted over $2,000,000.
A German chemist has furnish

sistency of a stiff paste, and then
allowed to stand. With a milk of

New York September 3, —The
following particulars of the recent
hurricane and oaitbquakes lit Jam
aica lias reached us via Panama: Tim
wind raged with such fury at Urn be*
giunig that the street curs had coaio
runnig. It was a buttle between the
wind and ruin. The br.dices ol linos
were tossed übou 1 , and will) beards,
shingling, etc., ripped off of bouses
by the force of tho element, it was
liaardot'n lo vulture mil to view tho
disasti r that prevailed. At BRIO tho
inry of the stonn was at its height.
The hissing, creaking, unhesitating,
rival ing sound of the wind was tear
fid. Vessels have been sunk and
driven ashore, wharves destroyed,
roofs b'own off. trees uprooted, and
a catalogue of other damages sus
tained which it is impossible now to
estimate.
25 vessels have been more oi less
injured, some driven aslmrc tvi ry
wharf but ouo washed away.
The eocoaimt and banana crops
arc ruined and lives were lost. The
Steamer Veia Cruz was wrecked and
it is supposed all of her large number
of passengers were drowned. A
number of persons have drift'd to
and been picked up on tho Florida
coast while boxes of merchandize,
and mail hags have boon picked up
also.
New York Sun: Time is now sup

is, like gas oi' wntir, fn m a cei.tinl

seconds ot every minute, as given by
a stundar I time piece, a current of
the ectnpi essi il air is allowed to flow
through the-p pcs to the nctiving

are kept going at a practical uniform

The New York Graphic declares
that the city of New York is in
jeopardy from the vast accumula
tion of oil at Hunter’s Point. It
says: If a fire shall occur among
the immense stock of oil at the
Standard oil monopoly’s works,
this burning oil will flow down the
bank into the river, where it will
continue to burn. these tanks
contain 53,000,000 gallons. Oth
er tanks in the vicinity, and hav
ing water communication, hold
50,000,000 gallons more. If the
fire becomes general—and it is
very likely to become so—a sheet
of flame will cover the East river
along the front of the two cities.
A n oil lamp among the straws of a
Chicago stable destroyed that city,
fifty, or p ’ssibly one hundred mil
lion gallons buring oil floating un
der the piers and around and
among the shipping of New York
will cause a destruction unpar
alleled in the history ot the world.
In case of fire a slight easterly

leave no stone standing upon an
