SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 1883. « lee £ 22 n> d < It has always been a difficult, pot to ay perplexing, social problem to determin» what course should be pursued by the state to prevent crime and reform those Having a tendency. to lawlessnesé. Philecthropic people have originated organizations for the purpoée of assisting discharged prisorers in the effort to lead an honest lifo. They have spent large sums of money in the. task, though quits likely. salaried offigers kRavo drawn more for their sefvices than bas been expended in assisting the unfortunates they presumably seek to benefit. © The assist ince given far as known by these assuciafi ns sonsists Jn, securing employment for or maintgining ox-conviets until such tiime as« 'work can meo secured. The objects of the associations ara laudable, though praci cally they have proven more proficient in dispensing advice than anything elso. Like '\ Rudey, the beggar,\ in ' Baron Ru- dolph,\ advice is an serticle ex-convi-ts feal they are not in need of. Notwithstamiling all these efforts, it is painful to know ex enwicts are not reformed. One- Ralf of ai. the prisoners new in penal prisoug and ; en- itentiaries art eorving ouf second or third terms. Two-thirds of the crime in our counntry comun.tsed by ex eonvic's. This single. fact shatters all pretenses, thé mdeks from the of philanthropy and shows up the inefuiency of our whole Our prisons and reformatories have becpme the cause of erinre and schools for etiminals. The pris- ons, as managed to day, aro the training schools for mon who, when they are dis- charged, are a bundred times more depraved and dangerous than when they were incar eerated. And ono reason why so little can be done for discharged prisorers is, that most of the men discharged from the prisons have been so demoralized by prisoq manacze- ment that they are recklees and desperate . they Rave learned all the secrot arts of crime from. wile associates; they have become thoroughly saturated with an almost fiendish hatred of society, and come out to wreak revenge for wrongs inflicted upon them by brutal keepers atd taskmasters,. No oue can be blamed for not wanting ex -couviects= im their employ, and it is not strange that honest workmen object to them as lubr eomrados. The first thing that should be done for prisoners is to make the prisons clean and well managed and humane, and so helpful in their instructions that thg mu they discharge will' be sought for, and not is palaver- monsters. Make the prisons what thoy ought to be and but coimparatively few ex-convicts will .be sent back for a sec- ond crime; crimes would be reduced three-quarters, and discharged prisoners would take care of themselves without the aid of any outside association. The best thing that can possibly be done fog a dis- charged prisoner is to emigrate to a place whore he is unknown, and whero he will not meet his former companions, and begin life anew. There have been so many in- stances 'in which ex-convicts have been helped by going quietly away, that the plan is regarded as the most feasible one.that has beer\ presented. Instances are known in which young man have gone out of the country, and in a new society and under better influences have become rich and re- spected citizens. \England once transported her convicts to Botany hay and some of the best families of Australia have sprung therefrom. London prisons were frequently delivered of jail birds to form companies of colonists to Amorica, and it is more than probable that some of the proudest of. our old farilies descended from these jail birds. Even Siborie, which the Bussian government is stecking with the best brains of tho em- pire, is now fast prowing into importince. Crime is not a thing of climates ; but time, new conditions, healthfel ahd stimulating associations, the magic potency of hope on the heart thgt has been sunk in despair, bave wonderful transforming influences. If our discharged prisoners could be helped to go quietly away and begin life anew elso- where, most of theip would beeomo honest and ussful citizens. s It needs wise and patient effort to make the home the most attractive place of all- and it should never bo less than that. - The womsnly arts which by the skillfol touch lend beauty and grace to the plainegt things, and from being homely male them to be home like, are all needed to this ond> Man- 'a husband too prove to stray might bo kept'| by his own fireside by no more art or subtler than this. new and very important clomdht in tho ex- 'press business is the Pacific | pany, which is practically Go business on the M.

Last Wednesday evéning Horace Ballard, a constable of the town of Van Esten, re- siding in Van Ettenville, brought to the county jail in this city for safo keeping a man named Alvah Hicks, charged with a most heinous crime. | From the most re- liable sources, a TEur@rax roporter gleaned the following. facts relating to the alleged In September last a yourg man named Grant Hicks, residing with his father, Josiah Hicks, on a farm in the town of Erin, near tho villago of Hickstown; murricd a girl named Abbey Reed. The young women was the daughter of Henry Reed, of Colambhia X Roads, Bradford county, Pa. She wasg at the timo visiting her sunt, Mrs. Jeremiah Rumsey, in the town of Van Etten,) at whose house the coremony was performed by Justice of the Peace W. H. Blauvelt, Shortly after 'the marriage, and while living at the house of Josiah Hicks, fathersof 'the young mag, the couple quarrelled, and from that time on crime : .| their wedded life, it appears, vins anything but a happy one. - Acpording to THE SWORXN STATEMENT of the byide, who is\ described as a very handsome and modest young woman, her busband treated her most cruelly. On the 80th of January last, sho alleges, her hus: band bound her hands iand feet to the bed while his brother Alvan coinmitted a name- less crime upon 'her;j{ from the effects of which shg was grontly prostrated for a time. Upon her recovery she left the house and went «to tho residence of her sunt, Mrs. Jeremiah Rumsey, where she related the facts, and from thence to the home of her parents in Bradford county, where she re- mained until two weeks ago. The elder Hicks went to her parents and in a straight- interceded on behalf of his son, seeking to bring the couple together once more. - This resuited in the young woman returning to the home of her Lusbaud in Erin. A week or two after her return, she aileges, kr busband and his brother sought TO MAKE HER SUBMIT . bo-outrages similar to that of the 30h of January, and she was otherwise cruelly treated. She left the house and sought shelter with the family of Josh4a Hicks, the elder brother of her husband, to whom she unfolded the story of her misfortunes, From there she proceeded to the office of Charles H. Murray, justice of the peace in VanEtten, and under oath swore out war rants four the arrest of her bus nd, (Grant, charges recited above. Constable Runisey proceeded to make the arrests. and found the young men working in a field adjoining the family residence. They asked permis- sicn to go to the house to change their clothing; which was granted, and while pre- sumably thus engaged escaped to the woods, whither Rumsey followed them. - Upon attempting to re-arrest them Rumsey was twice fired upon by Alvah Hicks, neither abot taking effect. The warrants were then placed in the hands of Constable Horace | Bnivlard, who with James McGivern \_ EFFECTED THEIR ARREST next night at the house of Widow McDowell, in the town of Baldwin, three miles from their home‘. Grant Hicks, the husband of the gompla‘ggnnt, was arraigned bofore Jus- tice Murray at Van Ettenville on Wednes- day,and beld in $500 bail. to await the action of the next grand jury. ''The young wife told her story with tear-bedimmed eyes in a modest and straightforward manner} J. K. Vandewater appeare1 for the prosecution and Haley Barnes for the defense. Public sympathy was strongly in favor of the young lady, who cried piteously during the exam- ination. - Alvah Hicks was examined on Thursday and also held to await the action ; of the grand jury, The case has caused 5 | great excitement among the staid people of- Van Etten, Baldwin and Erin. Alvas Hicks, one of the accused parties, is a re- formatory \ graduate,\ being out on parole from that institution. onlie. h, +n Gone to Williamsport.

Y., April 28.-William Van Wormer, an Erie conductor 1Find Samuel Leach, had a fight Wednesday evening at the United States hotel here.! Leach was intoxicated at the time, and clkims that he asked Van Wormer what he talled him a certain hard name naufie for, arnd that Van Wormer struck at him twice with a heavy bar-room chair, and that they clinched then and had a severe struggle. mi which softue little blood was drawn. Varg Wormer's friends says that the fight began by Van Wormer raising the chair (after [Leach asked him as above ) to strike Leas , but that it was taken away by Mr. Trimmpr, the land- lord, who requested them to desist from any quarrel, The stories of the fight seem to agree, except that each side elgims to have been victorious. It is said that Van Wor- mer is anxious to bet that he can whip Leach, Leach thinks that if Van Wormer puts up $100 he will hare it coyered easily enough,. It may result in a prige fight yet. Leach's friends insist that if he had been been any doubt in the matter. The calise of the trouble is said to have been an idea on Leach's part that Van Wormbr was try- ing to get up a flirtation with his (Leach's) wife. This the conductor and his friends emphatically deny. | .
