NOTABLE TRANSFER OF INDIANA
PRISONERS.
l.Frotn 1 bo Brenmu (hid.) Enquirer.
Probably the largest transfer of
prisoners that, ever took place in
this country was successfully car¬
ried out last Tuesday. Two hun¬
dred and ninety-one convicts from
the Michigan City prison were
put on a special Monon and taken
to Jeffersonville, while from Jef¬
ferson viile.SOD convicts were taken
to Michigan City. Tuesday
At, four o’clock morn¬
ing the real work of the transfer
began. Ten selected guards as¬
sisted the blacksmiths in riveting
the shackles on the prisoners.
Two at a time they were taken
from their cells and their legs
shackled. About two hours was
consumed in this, and then the
prisoners were taken to the din¬
ing-room, where breakfast was
served.
While this was going on the
train which was to convey the
prisoners to Jeffersonville was
backed into the north gate. It
consisted of nine cars, the first
coach a hospital car, the next six
for the convicts, one car for the
militia, company V, of Indian¬
apolis, whose members were to as¬
sist in guarding the prisoners,
and one for the press. As soon
as breakfast, was finished the men
were lined up and marched to the
train.
Three guards and two trusties
were locked in each ear. Every
precaution had been observed
against an outbreak. The win¬
dows were not barred, but every¬
thing that might, be used as a
weapon bad been removed, even
the doors from the water closets
and the air brake apparatus taken
away. Orders had been given to
shoot at the first bead that was
poked out of a window. At, nine
o'clock the start was made. Every
foot of track between Michigan
City and Jeffersonville was
apested fifteen minutes before the
train passed. Even t-lie switches
were spiked and the trains given
the right of way over everything.
No stops were made for crossings.
The trip from one end of the
State to the other, a distance of
2t53 miles, was made in eight,
hours without an accident,.
When the train started on its
journey across the State the con¬
victs were given permission
converse converse with wnn each lai n other uiur, Sand- aim
witches ami water were served
for refreshments en rnme. The
toilet-room doors had been re-
moved and bell cords pulled out.

MONEY ISN'T NBLDLD BY (JOONTRY
PUBLISHERS AND EDITORS.
An Ohio contemporary having
thoughtlessly remarked that it
takes money to run a newspaper,
n te editor of the Saguache (Col.)
Herald rolls up his sleeves, spits
»u W» hanks, aud promptly nails
*^ ,e J* e aB follows:

for the editor—kind words and

disgracing his profession. Never

Then when you die, after having
stood around for years and sneer¬
ing at the editor and his jim crow
paper, be sure and have your wile
send in for three extra copies by
one of your weeping children,
and when she reads the generous

forewarn her to neglect to send
fifteen cents to the editor. It
would overwhelm him.
“Money is a corrupting thing.
The editor knows it, and what lie

Then he can thank the printers,
and they can thank their grocers.
Take your job work to the job
