At a meeting of the Council Iliuffs Grape Crowers' Shipping association hold yesterday - day afternoon the members declled to take part in "Grape day" at the exposition , which has been fixed for September 16 , and to make a free dlalributton of grapes grown in this vicinity. The meeting was largely attendedl , but considerable disappointment was felt at Prof. F. W. Taylor , the superintendent - intendent of horticulture at the exposition , not hieing present , as be promised. Circumstances - stances prevented his being in attendance and ho wrote to Secretary L. \Vi111ams of the association expressing his regret. Ills letter was read at the meeting. In it he gave this stiggestlon : There are only one or two matters that it occurs to me you will need to consider. One of tlieso is the exact manner hr which you will put up your packngos in order that they may be passed out easily and serve this purpose - pose of advertising your association and the individuals trim have given the fruit. As to the number of packages , I presume it will ant be necessary to do anything definite now , but , If the ovcnts are advertised as widely as 1 expect them to be , and the attendance is as good , as I think It should ho , I think we will need a large number. I thirk other grape sections are likely to participate also , and you will of course want your offerings to stand up well alongside of theirs. On suggestion of President ( less it was decided to put up the grapes in cardboard boxes similar to those used for ice cream. A good hunch of luscious grapes , the best that the vineyards hero can produce , will ho put in each package and on Grape day will be distributed from the Pottawattanlo wigwam , As ( lie date fixed for Grape day comes rather late in the season nod as by that time most of the growers will have their fruit picked anti marketed , the mom- hers decided yesterday to each reserve one special vine , which will not be picked until the morning of Grape day. The fruit will then he taken across to the exposition in baskets and repacked there into the little cardboard boxes , which will bear on the outside matter advertising Council Bluffs and tire Grape Growers' association. The following were appointed a committee - tee to solicit contributions of fruit from the growers throughout the county : WIl- Ilam Arnd , Charles Konigmacher and harry Steiger. Secretary Wllliams called attention to the fact that the exposition management had set aside September 2 for Melon day and September 7 for Peachr day. After the Grape day question had been satisfactorily disposed of the association held its regular business meeting , at which Manager Allingbam made a report showing that the sales of fruit to date had been $13,250.16 , making it the best year the asso elation has known. The gross earnings of the association so far this season have been $1,528.06 and expenses $700,04 , leaving a net profit to be divided among the mem- hers of $729.02.

Blaze , Joe Sldcnour , C flyruns and C , Scoield , four prisoners at the county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury , sawed their way out last evening shortly after 7:30 : o'clock and arc atlil at liberty , The first three have been bound over on charges of burglary , while Scoflebd is the pickpocket arrested the day the circus was here. Thomas Lorden , another prisoner hound over on the charge of breaking and entering a Reck Island freight car , was captured - tured by Jailer Morgan just as lie was in the act of climbing through the bars. The escape was made through the window on ( lie west side of the inner corridor , In exactly the same place where several prisoners - oners got out during Sheriff Hazen's term , At that time one of the round bars had been sawed through and a flat bar had been clamped with bolts over the aperture thus made. It was by sawing these bolts that held the flat bar that the prisoners made their Cscapo last , evening , The prisoners during the day time are confined In the main corridor and are not permitted access to the north corridor , the gates between ( ho two being kept locked with strong pad- locks. Thu big bolts throngh which the padlock passed on the south gate between the corridors were sawed off , While working - ing at the bar over the window the prisoners broke their saws and in order to complete the Job made Immense plaited rapes out of their blankets with which they pulled the bar whllo one of them worked on it with the broken end of the saw. The space through which they crawled to liberty is hot more than twelve Incbes wide and about eighteen ladies long , The drop from ( lie window to the ground outside is but a few feet , There were fourteen Prison. era 1n the corridor at the time and from one of them it > < 'as learned that Scofleld was evidently the ringleader and owned rho saw which did the work , From this man's story It appears that the four men were working the whole afternoon sawing the bolts which held the bar across the window. The sawing off of rho bolts of rho door between the two corridors did not take the mot more than fifteen minutes , the saw , which was of the finest watch main- bpring steel , doing its work as easy as if cutting wood , While cutting the window bar the men broke their saw and it cant - t „ F eequently took them several hours to complete - plete the work with the broken cad instead of doing it in rt few minutes , as would have been rho case had the tool net broken , Pieces of the saw and part of the nickel plated handle were found by Jailer Morgan on the floor of the corridor , ( low the men became possessed of the saw is not known , but it must have been passed in by a confederate on the outside. It is not thought likely that Scofield had it with 1dm al the ( line ho was committed to jail , as he has been there several weeks , and if such had been the case he would probably have used It before , Had Jailer Morgan not discovered the escape when he did , it is more than probable - able that several more of the prisoners would have gotten out. Lorden had dlf- flculty In crawling through the space , and this probably delayed the others , Jailer At Morgan is a son of Sheriff Morgan - gan , and le now serving his third year nl the county jail , Last night's delivery was the first time any prisoner has escaped from his charge. lIe felt suspicious yesterday - terday afternoon that some of the prisoners were up to something , and was keeping hits eyes open. lie was standing in front of the Jail about half past 7 o'clock when lee noticed a man jump over the fence at the end of Dr. Ilnrstow's yard , which adjoins the county jail grounds , lie at once rushed round to the back just in time to catch Lorden as Ito was climbing out , lie lost no ttmo in pushing him back and feeling safe tint none could get out.nny other way stood guard over the window until help came. The prisoners were all tut once locked up In the steel cylinder and an Inventory - ventory taken , when it was learned that four of them hind managed to get away. With the exception of one man , tiotie of the prisoners were inclined to give any information as to how the delivery was af- fected. The police tvero at once notified and furnished descriptions of the escaped men , and Sheriff Morgan and his entire force of deputies started to acetic the town , but up to a late hour last night no trace of the four m cii hind been got.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 13.-The Postomce department is ill receipt of a letter from an unknown correspondent at Seattle , Wash. , who enclosed $26.88 , in order to relieve his or her conscience. The letter stated that the writer had ten years ago robbed a country - try postofilce of $15 , and this amount was returned with interest at 6 per cent. It is feared by the postomce officials that with the advent of e. great number of letters containing - taining money to and from soldiers there will be an increase in the amount of cash turned into the dead letter office. Mr. Mer- ritt , the third assistant , said today it was a curious fact that month after month ) the sum turned into the dead letter once was almost exactly $1,000. There were slight variations , but it invariably closely approached - preached tlds sum. Last year the aggregate was $11,454. With the soldiers' mall , however - ever , this monthly approximation may be increased. It is recommended that now that a great deal of money is being sent through the mails , correspondents be more care- ( ul and see that their full name and address - dress is included in each letter.

It is understood that the president contemplates - plates the appointment of Secretary Day tea a circuit judgeship after the work of the peace commission has been finished. A bill 1s pending in congress for the appointment - ment of an additional judge for the Sixth circuit , which includes Michigan , Ohio and Kentucky.
