Capture of an Escaped Convict His
Second Attempt atXscape.
Geo. Hill, an escaped convict from the
penitentiary gaDg, who eluded the vig
lancs of the guard while at work on the
Quaker Bridge road, near lewbern, a
few days ago, was brought to this city
last night by Messrs. Jas. 0. Wilson and
Jno. W. Garrett, of Federal township
and lodged in jail. Hill, who was origi
nally sent from this county to-the peni
tentiary for six years, for the larceny of
some sails, the property of the Messrs.
Kidder, after making his escape wan
dered in the direction of the Sound? and
was seen by a carriage driver of Capt.
Southerland's while on the road to the
Sound a few days ago, which fact the
driver reported in this city and the Jailor,
Dan. Howard, was out in search of the
convict last night, when he was brought
in by the parties above mentioned,
1 b i circumstances of the capture are
simply these: The convict mado his ap
pearance on Myrtle Grove Sound yester
day, about 1 o'clock, and entered the
premises of Mr. Jacob Home, who resides
la that locality, stealing therefrom a
bucket cf butter and a few other articles
and was discovered while in the act of
leaving the place with these articles
in his possession. The alarm was given
aad the thief pursued and finally captured
in the swamp of a creek or branch near
where he had committed the depredations
and immediately started for this city
under the survillance ofMessrs Wilson and
Garrett who conducted him safely to
the city until thy reached the corner
of the First Presbyterian Church, where
he broke and ran. One of the guards
fired twice at the escaped prisoner wua
out effect, but they both continued the
pursuit and when they reached tho corner
of Fourth ar.d Dock streetr, succeeded
with the assistance of a policeman in
recapturing him. The conv'.ct wis then
taken to the jail aDd committed. Wheth
er there will be 'another case of larcery
brought against him at the next term of
the Criminal CouTt or whether he will lo

The several necessary committees were
then appointed, after which some discus

accommodation of the press.
The rules of the last Democratic Na

which should govern in this body.
Judge Hoadley, in speaking of the third
