Thrco hundred and twenty men , cloaa shaved , with clipped hair , and striped clothes and caps , march at 12 o'clock each Yrcck day from the different shops within Iho high atone walla of the Ne braska otato penitentiary to the cell houco , when they oat their dinners and rest a short tlmo befora again taking themselves to work. Thcro nro many gangs of the convicts , each under the supervision of an nuarmod over/icor / cr boos. As they march each convict roots his arms upon the ahouldcra of the man next In front of him , and the kg ] of eaci cloao up tn thojo next In front , making a solid lluo of raon. This nids the Guards , for should the convicts atrag- glo along -nlthoat order there rrould bo moro danger of thtir oacapo. Near the entrance of the cell honeo several men who do the prison cooking stand , and aa each convict parses on Iho way to his cell ho la handed a tin plato with a piece of meat and two or thron thick ellcos of broad. Th o citt la varied through the week by little changes which help ta keep the men In good health. Tso call honao Booms to ba well constructed and the locking arrangement Is perfect. An entire tier , comprising thirty odd cells. are locked by the olmplu turning of a lever at one corner of the wa'l ' enclosing the con victs' quarters. Most uf the convicts ore employed In ono of the rnaoy shops , and appsroutly they work as though they were paid fall wages Ai the men passed out ot the cell honsa aavoral Djuglai county convicts ATOM pointed out to the BKB repaiter , but they * rer < wholly un- recognlziblo on account of short hair and no'.board. Tcoto were Jimmte Burke , wlio killed Weil , the cattle man , In G. H. & J. S. Collins' store on Farnam street ; there w.is Jack Uituloy , the fighter , -whoso tlmo will JOOD bo out , and in&ny others that are not so well known to the people through the stite. Their oycs were ou the ground and a general look of deiectlon and despair appeared ovnr the facss of all. The workshops are scattered over the en- closnro and all built of stono. Trunks , clothing , wagons , shoes , boilers and machinery , wooden ware of various kinds , and brick and stone cro the principal manufactures , and bll the work Is nuder contrast. Boss Stout is loesoa of the entire Ubur of ihu convicts and ho sublets it. Although the work is cheap there teems to ba a tort of curse on the work for no ono yob has mada any rnciidy out of It except psrbaps Stout , and It is claimed that ha is not rich by any moans. "Tito trail of the serpent is over it allSuVtiral contractor * have already brouen up lost oil their money .and left the country. Others como In and try it , but oven at present it ia asserted that there la co money being made. Stone cnttoru and brick makers woik for Stout on his contract for the state house building , and the number thus employ od Is about titty ot present. The brick are moulded in a steam power machine , and ttiat portion ot the work is first class. The burning Is also good bat the clay nsod la very inferior , and the rtsclt la the biioks are poor and crumble to the touch , at least those used as backing lu the capltol building do , The guards Imo a dining room to themselves , ana the fare la somewhat different from that given the cauvlcts. The table ware and service is good. Convicts watt at table and they are ts attentive as wallers nt a first clujs hotel. The day the BEE reporter vaa at the prison , the dinner cansls'od of bailed corn beef , potatoes , green corn , braart and batter and colTao and tea. This does not vary the guards said from the food of other di > ya The guards all appeared to ba bo goutlu- maiily and competent so far na a simple observation would tilluiv. The discipline Is good and the convlats gautrillf obey the slightest nod from nny of tha keepers At the tuain entrance looking toivarda Lincoln to the noit1) , a via , tor enters the prison. To the ri ht ono is uihered Into the rm'ptlcn rooms of Bees Stout , a man who la known ull over Nebraska us a most lueoesslnl worker of legislatures and manipulator of state contrasts. Stout lives in the second tlaor of the main building , aud hit household work IB nearly nil done by convicts An Intelli gent colored man named "Dlok" DuBols , cooks for the family and nets as n a sort of bntlos to the "Boss " The colored Individual could converse with the family in German or French tf necessary , but his linguistic capabilities are seldom called Into prac tice. Warden Nobes was teen and talked to. He claims that enemies have tried to hum htm , and that several men are anxious to secure his plrca. However true It may bo that Nobes1 place is sought after by cthtrs , Nobes capacity for his position is unquestioned. Several of the gusrda were questioned and they Bpjko of him in terms of pratt a. This Is bat nat ural for the reason that they ara employed by Nobes. A number of convicts were also r.kod about hlstreatmentand none of them compUinud. Tim prison was clean , the walls whitewashed and ovtrytblug indicated system end peed order. No correct idea can bo tbttint'd from a visit such as a ropcrter can make can a ( lord any true conception of the inner work ings of the penitentiary , but so far DB wai seen , nothing at ) w st on bo eald against the every-day diclpllne and work. TUB JAIL ESCAPE , There Is moro to the escape of the ibo ( uventeon prisoners from the city j til Ftloay night than was supposed. The wall , through which egress was made , conelsta of hard , flinty ttano over twenty- four inches thick. The aperture wbS not straight through , but near tha mitldln took a i harp turn to ono aide , ahowion conclusively that tbo work had been done upon the oatstdo of the bidding SB well as by the prisoners themselves. Thoic was a crowbar found on the floor \vhon the dlicovery was made that the inon had 11 own. The most euiplclous clrcuui- sUuco oonneotcd with the proceedings was the ctcspti of n prisoner named John BOD , a pickpocket , arrested _ on ) n few honrs before the delivery Upon the west side of th room whera the men won confinoi are pkced a row of cells or cages , with Iron diora and heavy locks upon them Johnson , when captured , WAI pat In one of these and locked up. Ho was not there when the jailor cams to know of tbo os cape. No Sampson-like feat of breaking down the ( gates had boon nccompllthed The doer bad simply been unlocked , an : Johnson gone with his brethren. Who unlocked the door ? Some ono mutt hava done It , and whoever did had a key , as the lock was not broken ncr was If picked. Many ejaculations arose iron the officer's lips as to how on earth ii could have been done , and nothing short of divine Providence , It was thought , could have had any connection with the matter. This Is a now role for divine Providence In having anything to do with aiding criminals to escape. They were gone , however , and they have remained away over since , the eagle ojes of the Lincoln police force not hav ing boon sufficiently eaglo-llko to dotool any of them. Rumors , charges , sus picions , gcsilp and plain talk is rifa over this affair. Good cltlz3ns want an ex planation how It came about that tbo seventeen men confined in the apart ment broken out of were all atato oses , and onta against whom good evidence sufficient for terms in the penitentiary wts obtainable. The plain drunk remained mainod lu the jail. It la said that the jailer and others were notified the day bofora the break that It would bo mttdo the following ulght. Why then were not extra precautions taken nftor thin In formation ? There ia something rotten , not only In Denmark , but In the Lincoln city government. It Is alleged that the notorious Pen Oourvillo , the leader of the ging of outlaws that WAS hero last week , "tqaarack" himself so cilaotivply that the police were individually notified not to molett either him or tu > y cf hla fakirs. J > ono were molested except those two mentioned by tbo BEE Saturday , and they were promptly turned locsa by the mayor with the permission that "they might work that day , " which woa Friday , prac'lcilly the litt day of the fair and also tbo last the fakirs would disho to operate. When Thomaa Glldroy , a diamond thief who wan captured on the f lr grounds , waa arraigned in the police : ouit Saturday his attorney tried to got him discharged Mr. Stearns , the prosecuting attorney , objected to thle , when the prisoner's lawyer appealed to the policeman who had made thu arrest , and who was thorp to testify against Glldroy and asked him whether ID thought the man ought to bo hold. Iho policeman thought not , although it was fie who made thu charge agalnnt Gll droy. Ho waa diicherged. This in but a simple. At this time the following state of affiira exists. The week jutt past wltneeaad the largest Influx of alsreputa- ole characters over seen in th's ' city. Then * was a groit amount of criminal work don ? , and but few arrests. The irab man errs a tad npon whom a good csao rectod end who was bound ever for trial , oscipad. These savcntoen crooka who could not be taken from the law's clutches by kgcl chicanery , were kindly 'urniahud crow barj and work men on the outside ti ac celerate t olr easy dopartaro from he guardianship of throe gentlemen just overhead , ono of whom Innocently oaid , hat bo had heard a "noise down Btalra jut did not know what It was. " Donbt- IES his aidaous duty of holding down an arm chair had so fatigued him th&t ho was ucablo to nnko the trip. Quito a ias of property , consisting of jewelry and money belonging to the men , waa not sailed fi r by them after they got out. The valuables remain in the hands of nterested parties. It will bo well to have a strict account kept of this property and t should be ceen that It ia not diverted ; o Improper usos. Some earceatls gentle men remarked during a conversation hat this property was the key to ho whole sltaxtlon. The BEE will lat , hat phasa of tbo case pacs until somo- , hlng more definite Is learned. There Is talk that the city council will nveatlgato tbo nhule affiir at Its moot- 113 thia evening , bntoomo thinksnfililent back bono will not bo mustered up for the purpose , SOME TINE riRTUnES. During fair weeK and before thik time there have been on exhibition in this city twoboautlfuloll painting * , "Moonlight on the Oklahoma , " and "Evening on the Suwaneo River. " Tha first depicts a night scene on the romautia Florida river , wnoso inky waters flow between bmka close grjnn with tbo thick , luxuriant vines and creepora of the couth ; from tha utms of tbo hugo trees on olihsr nldo hanga in graceful bat wolid fcatoona the ghostly , waving southern mesa. Tied up at a little landing on the rlvor bauk ia a steamer whoso llghto cint fantastic thad- ows upin the water , whllo nloa ; ; the waters is a rlpplo of silvery ahimmr the nflBctad ptthwsy of the moon. The contrast between the p&lo silver of the moon's raya and the yel low crimson of the steamer's fires is finely brought out by the artUt The second picture la a eceno on thn pootia Suiranco river , whoao fame has boon sung by BO many , The coloring and ehadtaof this piece are nearly equal to these of the first , and tha work be speaks the lover of nature. Mr , Chris tian Elnole , of Now York , who is visiting ftlenda in Lincoln , and who la on hts way to California , Is the artist and he coitainly has but few cupsrlora In thii country. Upon his return from the coast ho proposes showing his work in Omaha , wboro ho has friends residing. WINDING UP TUB rAIll. The work of removing articles from the fair grounds waa completed Satur day , and the show Is now but a memory. The Gtoto board has not yet commenced to figure up how much they are ahead on the week. In the meantime there are various conjectures ai to bow much wr.a realU d , boino put it at $20,000 , whllo others make It loss , scd a fovr swell the figures above $30,000. When tbo com putation is completed , and the debt crsatod at Omaha last year is paid it Is a&fo to soy that th eurplus will dwindle down Into a much smaller amount than ctlcnlated on , least nays judging from patt experiences , it will do so , Not. withstanding this shrinkage the fair was an unqualified tuoseis , and Lincoln , as well uo the aeeoclatlon , baa tfuod r aaon to feel proud of toe fat. Tbe weather being propitious , uude the biiccetu poa- ilble , and it Is aaserUd that the priyor- ful efforts of Marc. Dunham , and Curls. Qartm&u , of Omaha , brought ubont this retult.

"As soon as I raturn , " eald the gen < ral , "I will mike a report , and I cannot ivo anything to the public until that ime. Tharo Is nothing further to ba aid on the subjaot.

The amphitheatre was wol filled , and the smiling facaa of the direct era of the association indicated their feel Ing of relief that the burden of debt im posed npon them by a dismal fair week was thus being removed. The track was In excellent condition , and high nutlclpn tions were ontortalnnd for rare sport. But the people were disappointed , the great delay In starting the different events creating conaideiablo dl satlsfac tion , and the hlppodromlng character o the Phyllls-Joo Djvla race being es pecially denounced.
