A despatch from Chatham says: 'Arthur Smith, of Knox, Penn., and Ed- win Baldwin, of Wainsfleld, Ohio, on Thursday made a desperate attempt to break jail, by which the turnkey, Chris- topher Somerviile, nearly lost his life. Both men were arrested on Tuesday, in Tilbury, a. few miles west of here,_ for forgery and the uttering of two forged cheques for small amounts on the Sovereign Bank of ’lilbury. They were arraigned before Judge Bell here on \Vednesday, when they pleaded guilty and were remanded for one wegk for sentence. Early Thursday morning, while the turnkey was making his rounds, he entered their cell. He had laid the heavy lock on the floor while he undid another fastening. One of the prisoners seized the lock and with it the head, knocking him senseless. Governor David-son, hearing the distur- bance, rushed in, and unarmed, wrested the lock from the assailants, at the same time calling for assistance. When it arrived the men were easily transferred to safer quarters. The turnkey will re- cover. ____._.3 MISSING “’ITH MILLION. German Bank Manager Brings Ruin Upon Thousands. A .despatch from Berlin, Germany, says: It developed that last week's bank failure at Marienburg, due to the dcfalcation of the manager of the con- cern, was more serious than at first re- ported. The losses are now said to total about $1,000,000. Thousands of small depositors lost their savings and many tradesmen were ruined. It was rumored 0:1 the Berlin Bourse during Thursday afternoon that a private bank at Danzig had been affected by the Marienburg failure, causing a drop of two points in its shares. The feeling of uneasiness caused by the Marienburgfailure and the report from Danzig was increased by the announcement of the arrest at Ankiam, Pomerania, of Herr Knorr, a banker, on the charge of embezzling $100,000. ‘ DISAPPECTION IN INDIA Has Spread Among Landhoiders, Peasants and Coolies A despatch from London says: 10-, than despatches represent the trouble are unable to prevent the persecution in India as in nowise over, but as 171- of loyalists. ther increasing.
