A Bold Attempt to “’reck Bull Express on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Rand—A Story That “’asn’t Believed. the Cannon Chicago PITTSBURG, Sept. 16.——Frederick C. Fit-a D.AI-LY - NORWALK-‘GAZETTE. Tlllll Simmons, the murderer of Detective G11- 5 kinson and a. desperate thief, escaped from the county jail about 2 o’clock in the ? morning. The escape is the most daring 2 ever effected in this part of the country. He was incarcerated in acell in Murderer’s ! row on the first tier awaiting his trial for murder, which was to begin. next week. Fitzsimmons had already been convicted on several charges of robbery. The prisoner gained the jail corridor by sawing the bars on his cell door. He then scaled the walls, reaching the top of the building, where he used his saw on the ' THE NEW DRY GOODS STORE, QAZETTE BUILDING. DRESS; ..

From thence he reached the jail court by means of a light- ning rod,and then scaled the high stone wall by means of a rope that could have been secured only by means of outside as- sistance. Froin the top of the jail wall he jumped to the roof of the shed on the Old avenue side of the jail. Not a Trace of Him. The escape was not discovered until 6 o’clock. One of the prisoners in the next tier to Murderer’s row says that at 2 o’clock he saw a man pass his cell door, but at that time supposed it to be the night watchman. It is now believed to have been the escaping murderer. When the call boy discOvercd the vacant cell he gave an alarm and in a moment all was confusion. Warden Berlin summoned the city and county detectives, county commissioners and other officers and a consultation was held. At 9 o’clock the work of hunting the escaped criminal was begun in ear- nest, but without a clew as to his where- abouts. Last Saturday Detectives Murphy and Beltzhoover warned the authorities that Fitzsimmons would try to escape. A special guard was placed over the prisoner Saturday and Sunday nights, but last' night the precaution was omitted. THE TRACIE FILED \VITH TIES. The Cannon Ball Express Has a Narrow Escape from Being \Vrecked. CHICAGO, Sept. 16,—A bold attempt was made to wreck the Cannon Ball express on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad last night. The train was two miles east of thitiug, Ind., when En- gineer Pierson saw an obstruction on the track, and, reversing the lever, brought the engine to a stop against a barrier of railroad tics. While the passengers and trainmen were standing about the engine discussing their narrow escape from death, Charles Howard, of Whiting, an employe of the Standard Oil company, came run- ning up and said he knew all about the attempt to wreck the train. “There were five of them,” Howard said excitedly, “and it was their intention to wreck the train and then rob the express messenger and the passengers.” Ills Story Not Believed. Howard then told how he met the five men at \Vhitin g during the afternoon, and that they invited him to walk down the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago tracks after darkness had set in. It was about 7:10 o’clock when the party reached the spot where the ties were placed on the tracks. Howard says that all of the men were armed, and pointing their revolvers at him they compelled him to aid in putting the timbers across the rails. He attempted to run away and warn the train men, when the robbers threatened to shoot him if he moved. His story was not believed and hewas arrested on suspicion of being one of the wrecker-s and brought to this city. A Shore of policemen from south Chicago were hunting through the Indiana marshes last night after the five men. A Woman Disappears. CHICAGO, Sept. 16.——Mrs. Elizabeth Mc- Mahon, of Michigan avenue, over whose son there has been bitter litigation between herself and her husband’s relatives, has disappeared, and her friends fear she has committed suicide. While in her attor- ney’s ofiice yesterday afternoon she showed signs of hysterics. Preparations were be- ing made to have her conveyed to her home when she suddenly left the office, and all trace of her has been lost. Mrs. McMahon is the daughter of Colonel Ed- wards, a. well known citizen of Toledo. A Link to the Sandwich Islands.

It appears that cholera is rapidly spread- ing in Asiatic Turkey. No definite figures as to the loss of life in many cities are ob- tainable, but it is enormous.
