The escapes were made and put up by the Eagle Iron Works of this city, and are of the most improved pattern, being light, graceful, and substantial. Travelers will appreciate this addition. Indeed, it would be well for all hotels to have escapes, and so reduce to a minimum the risk to human life. The funeral of Miss Elizabeth M.

William LAW, who for several days has been at the city hospital under treatment, was to have been taken to Danville Insane Asylum yesterday morning. At the hour appointed, however, for his removal the rain was falling heavily and those who were to take charge of him postponed going until the weather should clear. Law in some way found out he was to be taken to the Asylum, and some time after six o'clock leaped from the window of his apartment and escaped. The city police were put on the watch, but he was not caught sight of by them. Last evening he was seen upon a street car going to Kingston where he was apprehended. He was placed in jail overnight and will go to Danville to-day. Law's case is a sad one. At one time he was a respected merchant of this city, but taking to drink he was soon a beggar and an outcast. Three years ago he became an inmate of the poorhouse. [condensed] Pittston - The coroner's jury met last evening. A letter from Dr. Leffman, the Philadelphia chemist, was read. The expert found arsenic in several forms in the stomach, liver and bones of Mrs. Glynn in sufficient quantities to cause death. No report was made on the condition of the remains of Mr. Glynn. It is thought a common poison known as "Rough on Rats" was administered which consists almost wholly of white arsenic. The testimony warranted the holding of Edward Glynn and his wife for trial. John McHALE, an aged resident of Pittston, died at his home on Pine street Sunday night, aged about 58 years. He was night watchman for the Pittston Stove works for many years. The funeral of Genevieve, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul BOHAN, was attended Sunday by a large number of people, friends of the family being present from Carbondale, Scranton, Providence, Wilkes-Barre, and Parsons.
