RIMINALS in general will derive little encouragement from the experience of the convicts who managed, through an extraordinary combination of ‘favorable circumstances, to escape from Folsom. ~What has happened to the fugitives is not calculated to encourage other convicts to follow their example. Their success has been temporary and is tempered by extraordinary hardship and by penalties yet to come. ~Of the thirteen who gained their liberty, éne has been killed and six recaptured. The last thus far to be recaptured is “Red Shirt Gordon,” who succeeded in getting so far away as the State of Texas, but he was re-arrested and allthe ,suffering and hard draft which he eudured in order to reach that locality has availed him nothing. He and all the balance who have been recaptured will be tried for murder and be hanged or sentenced to imprisonment for life. The fruit of their enterprise-is far from having a sweet savor. The sevenjstill at large are skulking and hiding in continual fear ot being recaptured. Since their escape they have undergone terrible hardship and privation. is a state of perpetual dread a Their existence nd terror. They cannot enjoy life. They have no sense of security. They live in constant dread of discovery or betrayal. doubts of the loyalty of each other. Their minds are tortured by Their chance.of ultimate escape is remote, for the history of similar enterprises is that all or nearly all the participants finally came to grief. So they slip from hiding place to hiding place, ever haunted by the fear of being shot down or made prisoner to suffer a more ignominious death on they hear pursuers, and when the gallows. In their dreams they eat, the cravings of huner are appeased between torturing reflections on the dangers of their situation. Thus a temporarily successful prison break affords little consolation to criminals and holds out small inducement for emulation. The venture has not been a profitable one. Its folly will yet appear in a cle arer light when the inexorable fiat of the law sends to the executioner the ‘men who murdered their keepers and am Crime never appears so sordid, bushed the pursuing militia, So short-sighted and so futile as when it is being expiated in the cold, severe formalities of the scaffold. Then “does the appear, and the arm of the law terrible significance of justice show its power. Tennis Club to Meet The members of the local tennis club are requested to meet at the Hotel Antlers tomorrow evening. It willthen be decided as to whether a datce or whist party is to be given by the club at aneurly date, The matter of giving something in the way of @D amusement, other than the fascinating game of tennis, has been the desire of the members for some time, and the coming occasion is to be made ove of much pleasure. Mrs. M. A. Preston is president of the clab, which is in a flourishing condition. Came Too Late. Among the numerous patents granted at Washington, D. C. to various inventors for useful mechanical devices, the neme of O. E. Waxel of.Oakland, Cal., appears in lest week’s list, having just been granted a patent for a pipecoupling. Mr, Waxel, who was a former resident of this city and kepta tailoring establishment for many years had worked hard for a long time to securea patent to his useful invention, which would have greatly ameliorated his straightened financial condition and provided him with a nice little bank account, but Fate decreed otberwise and be died several months ago at Oaklend, a disappointed man. It is to be hoped, however, that bis family will be benefited by Mr. Waxel’s genius, even at this late hour, in New Position.Willis Parker, the well known ac* countent, entered upon his new duties atthe Bay Counties Power Company’s oftice bere this morning, Mr. Parker is @ very efficient bookkeeper, having bad much experiénce in that line.

R. Rigby, who is now a resident of the Bay Oity. Mrs, Stiles is one of the oldest pioneer ladies in the Qaeen City of the Sierras, having come to this prosperous mining city when it was nothing more than a mere camp and the glow of the rising san cast her mantle of lightness over a struggling and ambitious people some of them destined to see their hopes and ideals realized—Mrs. Stiles being of the chosen few. She is knoxn and loved universally in the town where she has dwelt so continuously and her departure will cause a pang of sadness to the bearts of many, who have learned to listen for the footsteps and bear the cherry voice of the familiar aod kindly old lady who bas sv long been one of them. ~<-280--—_____ Removed the Cause Mrs. Edward Ninnie of Gold Flat, who has been laid up with a severe at. tack of quinzy of late, was this morniog operated upon and the cause of the troablesome malady—the tonsils—re. moved. Dr. Muller performed the operation, which afforded mpch needed relief to the lady, who will speedily regain ber former health. ; Ed. Nionla, the lady’s hasband, who has been troubled with a poisoned hand for some time past, and which was healing nicely, &pfortanately struck the member while working in the Lecompton mine the other day, causing the hand to again swell and fester. Last night Mr, Ninnis was again forced to have the old injury opened up, from which a great quantity of pus and other poisonous matter was removed. Afterthe member was thorougbly cleansed and soothing and bealing lotions were applied Mr. Ninnis felt much relieved. With proper care no serious results are anticipated, As yet he has not been incapacitated local business circles. from his labors. Daily Record of the Doings of Our People. G.
