He formerly worked in Olean at thp Myrick foundrj and he is a skillful mechanic. "I had a talk with Hughes." said Gil len, "and he said he would probably get 15 years for his crime which was a serious one. I also found out that Hughes had made three keys of tin cans in which he had been given his food.

The keys were- made to open the cells of two other convicts, one in jail for burglarizing a hotel at Salamanca and the other a person who pretended to be deaf and dumb. "About midnight each night Hughe? would let the other two fellows out and the three would work with case knives (which Hughes had retained from his meals and had tempered in a coal fire in the hall stove) on the window bars. When they finished their i work early mornings they would fill in the cuts with putty and black the marks over with soot," so as not to have their work detec-ed. They had a sufficient number of bars cut Saturday eight and were i jcr to escape but they found to their disappointment that the iron screen over the outside at the window would not ive easily and thev were obliged to give the matter up until last night when they were going to weaken the screen by sawing it i bouse of Mrs. John Sullivan on Pine street, and several barns and small- outbuildings.

During the fire several tramps were making "good their opportunity and in the plain sight of citizens in the street near the fire they made changes of shoes and clothing they were driven away several times only to return and supply their wants in another place a little distance from the scene. As the origin of the fire is a mvstery the general supposition is that the tramps started it.

Phinney and wife of this city left this morning for New York city to take charge of ihe large stock rarai recently purchased for the Childrens Aid Society or Boys Home which the officers of the society are fitting up for a home for friendless boys near the city. Prof.

A. H. Lewis and general superintendents of the home, were in Olean about two weeks ago on their way to Buffalo and offered the position of superintendent of the large farm to Mr. nev with such flattering inducements that he left his own farm recently purchased near Hinsdale and left for Ixew York. Coming as it without his knowledge or seeking the selection is highly complimentary to the worthy man and his wife.

A generous lady of New York has contributed the sum of for the farm and an additional sum of $1,700 for the purchase of everything on the farm including a dairy of thirty cows. The responsibility of managing this farm is to be placed in the hands of Mr. Phinney and his wife. The officers of the so- cie'ty were looking for a man who possessed certain qualities: First, of Christian character and sterling practical knowledge of farming-with a wife to manage the household duties of a dairy--and not the least.a man who could teach boys to sing or manage a Sunday school. The officers of the so- cietv have the plans a ad specifications out "for the building of the home on a large scale and will include school room, bath rooms, dormitory, rooms and offices for the superintendent, and all the modern improvements for a first class home for friendless boys, where they are taken and placed in permanent homes throughout the country by the society.
