are disposed to resist the depredations Of
Walkers band are unable to do so, from
the fact that they have been deprived oi
their horses and arms.
The property destroyed by Walker is
estimated at more than million OIL dollars.
And by his licenses and example, the In
dians, who before were peaceful, have
become aggressors, and their depredations
are cleaning out what little was left by

A Gang of Murderous Bandits.

Among our full files of California papers
came yesterday, the Los Angeles Star, Of
the 18th ult., which gives us many par
ticulars of the outrageous conduct of Wal
ker and his party, who went to Lower
California as "Liberators," but who have
turned murderers, robbers, thieves and
bandits. 1t is high time a good round
price was offered for the head of the
gang
The latest intelligence from Walker
states that he is still in the valley of La
Trinidad, about seven leagues from the
mouth of the Colorado. A spaniarrd, who
arrived in San Diego last week, stated tha
Walker had seized upon about seven
hundred sheep, and shot the owner, Mr.
Dennis, because he refused to give them
up voluntarily. Mr.. Dennis had partner
in San Isabel, and one in Stockton.
Don Jose Espigosa, wealth gentleman
of Santo Domingo, was taken prisoner,
and thee hours were given him to decide
between death and the delivery Of ran
some of twelve thousand dollars.
There are now in San Diego and vicini-
ty some one hundred souls who have fled
from their homes to escape the outrages OF
the bandits. Many of them arrived on
foot; and destitute, and the citizens of San
Diego have raised, by subscriptions, funds
for their relief. Many more of the inhab-
itants would have fed, but the distance
and loss of their property prevented them.
Don Ignacio Arce, an old soldier OF
Spain, and his brother, Don Santiago Arce,
wealthy men, were robbed ofall their pro-
perty. Don Ignacio, IS years old, was
forced, after losing his property, to act as
vaquero for Walker over his own cattle
He has family of fifteen children, which
is left in very destitute condition. Dor
Santiago was placed as shephered over
the sheep stolen from the murdered

In the church Of Santo Tomas were de
posted several trunks, containing the
plate, candlesticks, pearl necklaces, aue
yaluables of the old missions of the nor
thern portion of Lower California amout
ing to many thousand dollars. Thes'
valuables were stolen carried away b.
Walker. These are some of the outrage
which the people of that country hay
suffered at the hands of ''liberators.

Eloauence at the CRYSTAL Palace.

The Rev. Mr.. Chaplin at the opening
of the Crystal Palace delivered an elo-
quent grafton, an extract of which will
be found in the following lines:
"That was greatera when truth found
in the printing press the gift of tongue,
and aroused the stagnant souls of men
with volleys of thought. That was q
great era when Columbus unveiled to the
Old World virgin bride--the mother OF
a splendid and incalculable destiny. That
was a great epoch when Bacon shattered
Aristotle's Web and Agrippa's Mirror,
and taught men to explore nature with
the lamp of experiment and the talisman
of fact. That great era inaugurated by
the Declaration of independence, when
in the cradle of battle and the baptism Of
blood, a nation was born in day. Loud
and enthusiastic cheers. Eras! Why
every man and every woman, without
limiting at any of them as having reached
and incalculable and mysterious age,
every child has passed through them
You have seen our New York growing
from provincial town to a vast metropo-
lis, heaving in its heart with the pulsation
of the world, and wearing this Crystal
Palace like diadem; youhave seen space
cancelled by steam and time beaten by
Tightening, and tissues of indenties and
networks of sympathies stretched and
woven round the globle--you know it is
characteristic of our epoch. say it has
great and sudden changes. Therefore
evidently, it is but transition epoch,
loading to third, and which we can hard
ly yet conceive; which may not linger
to describe, but which we may believe will
be an epoch of comparative quiet-not
stagnant quiet, but serene, full, deep life
"a sunset epoch; and it may be of an
unimaginable splendor, when the ripe
world shall be plucked for ulterior pur-
poses by the hand of God. Cheers.

Terrible Scene.

The Pekin, Illinois, Mirror relates the
particulars of most distressing circum
stance, which occurred on the 18th ult.,
near that town. A Mrs. Bantz undertook
to ford large reek, with her five Child
rem in a two-horse wagon, and the swollen
stream foated them all off, turning the
wagon over. Three of the children were
drowned. The scene is thus described;
The moher caught the two youngest
children under one arm, and with the
other hand she caught the end of limb
which hung in the water. The Oldest,
twelve years old, drifted down stream one
hundred yards, and lodged against hang
ing willow. He had scarcely crawled up
on it, when his little brother came along,
but with presence of mind perhaps unpar-
alleled, he caught him, but was unable to
get him out of the water. While holding
his head above water, his drowned sister
come floating by: he caught her and held
her for some time, but being unable to
save both, he let the body go, and rescued
the living child uNhl assistance was render
ed.
The cries of the mother soon brought the
neighbors to the spot, but they were all
on the opposite side of the stream, and
could render no assistance until they went
to bridge, situated about two miles be-
low, to get across.
A large dog belonging to the family
SWAN to the woman twice, caught her
clothes and jerked them several times, and
took small bundle ashore. When he
returned, she gave him the babe, but he
failed to get it ashore, and the child was
drowned.
By this time her grip began to fail, and
she called for help to save her remaining
child. She remained in this perilous
situation three quarters of an hour, strug-
Cling to save her children before she let
them 90, and remained there an hour after
ward.
While some were gone to the bridge
those that remained made desperate efforts
to reach the scAerers, on horses and BY
swimming, but the current was too strong
) for them. When those that crossed at the
bridge came to the boys, two men swan
out to them and got theft to the shore with
out difficulty. The same two men swan
, to the mother aud found her slmsot ex
: hausted, but succeeded in getting her tt
the shore, after sinking several times.

Business and our Town.

The weather has at length become
somewhat settled-our farmers are about
through seeding, and our town again be-
gins to present business aspect. On
last Saturday, to see the crowded streets,
we were reminded of some grand public
demonstration. Wagons and people from
every section of the country crowded our
streets and sidewalks. The merchants
and business men wore smiling counten-
ances. Indeed, every thing presented a
bright and better appearance. The indi-
cations for good summers business look
ed very bright, and with brisk trade
our town is bound to improve. But after
all, the prosperity Of our town very much
depends upon the success of our farmers
throughout the county. When farmers
arc prosperous every branch of business
is lively.
A good feature in our town, is the addi-
tion of new business men. We can say
Dut nttle Oh their energy, enterprise or
probable future course, but would suppose
from present appearances that they will
assist US in the way of business and gene
raj trade. We needed slight addition
to our trading men-to give new life and
action to our town. 1t is true, some of
the old business firms were made up of
energetic and stirring men, while other
firms were of an entire different charac-
ter, therefore the necessity ofan addition
The habit of doing business in other pla-
ces will be more or less engrafted into oul
trading men, and even this will be benef-
cial.
Upper Sandusky has all the nstura
gifts almost, generally extended to towns
-and with beauty and much more thar
an equal share of natural gifts, in com.
parison with thousands of other places
why should we not look for it to grow tc
town of more than ordinary size and
Importance? But this entirely depends
upon our people, and as they decide, 81
will the town be.

On Monday the cars for the first time
ran through from Crestline to Delphos
loaded with passengers and spectators
This was rather a good time, as every.
thing past off pleasantly and without an
accident. The President, w. Merrimani
Superintendent, Mr.. Straughn; Master oi
of Transportation; P. Marshall one ofthe
Directors, and other officers were on hand,
and active in rendering everything pleas

the very best and most popular conductors

the state that has not been used more.
We left Upper Sandusky about twenty
minutes after twelve O'Clock, on Monday,
and passed through Kirbytown, Forest,
Duukirk, Mt. Washington, Johnstown,
Lafayett, Elida, and arrived at Delphos at
about four or FIVE o'cloek in the afternoon
Delphos is better known by the name ol
Section Ten. This is quite firing bust

are now connected with the world by rail

for the public spirit they possess. They
have some very good hotels, and we can

This house is kept by Messrs. Clark.
The Ohio and Indiana railroad will take
pretty much all the eastern and Western
travel as soon as the public become ac-
quainted with the conveniences and officers
Of the road. IT is the most direct road
from Pennsylvania to Indiana, and the
cars are all new and pleasantly arraigned.
1t is true, the road is yet new and I'M
known to many, but still the travel is be-
ginning to understand that they can gain
time and save expense by taking this route

FRA1LrY.-Mrs. Davidson, residing a
few miles from Lawrenccburg, KY, left
her home on last Saturday night, in COM
pany with married man--who was also
her brother-in-law The guilty woman
not only abandoned her husband, but also
deserted two helpless children, one ofthem
not ., year old. The most aggravated fea-
ture of the case, however, and that which
affected the forsaken husband more than
the loss Of his frail partner, was, that the
man (whose name is not given had bor-
rowed money ofhim on Saturday morning,
which was doubtless used in carrying of
his wife! The runaways also took with
them a fine horse, valued at $3.50, a gold
watch, and other articles of value.

The New Route to Pittsburgh.
CREsTL1NE, Nav 90, 1854,

CRESTLINE, May ~, 1904.
DEAR T1MEs:-Leaving the depot Of the
G. H. & D. Railway this morning at six
o'clock, we arrived at Dayton at twenty
minutes past seven; and without any delay
we were soon on our way again up the
country over the Mad River R. R. At a
new and thriving little place named Forest,
we turned corner, and stopping just long
enoght to take on an additional car load of
passengers we whistled over the Ohio and
Indiana R. R., through Upper Sandusky
and Bucyrus to Crestline, where, after par
taking ofa sumptuous dinner at the "Crest-
line House. y which is most splendidly
kept by Mr. I. G. Hall, the Pittsburgh
passengers took the Ohio Pennsylvania
R. R. for the smoky city, which they will
reach at o'clok to night.
This is a beautiful route, and there being
no change of cars from Cincinnati to Crest
line, it is very pleasant. The Conductors
are perfect gentleman, and the attaches OF
the road, courteous and afable
While passing through Wyandot and
Crawford counties we were told some most
thrilling incident in the lives of the early
settlers, which may take form of short
story, some day for the Times. The plain
facts alone would be highly interesting.
Having some business at this place; we
did not go directly on to Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia, but will resume our trip on
Wednesday. We have become acquaint-
ed here with Mr.. George Nimmop, the
freight and ticket agent of the Ohio &
Indiana Road, and certainly the Com
pany could not have made a better Sc
lection. He is all that a whole souled
man could be, and for his favors we are
much indebted. Mr. Shanklin, Master
of Transportation, also located here, has
won the esteem of all who have taken his
honest, energetic hand. DR.. Merriman,
the President of the Company, lives at
Bucyrus, but visits Crestline often enough
to see that his wishes are faithfully OBJ
served. Under. such management, we
predict for this road a great popularity.
Next Monday it will be opened tc
Delphos, distance of 86 miles from
Crestline, As west of Forest, and As east
of Fl Wayne, where it will connect with
canal packets west, north and south. The
road will be opened to Ft Wayne about
the first of September. This is a good
road, and an important one; and while il
is a pleasant route for Pittsburgh pas
sengers, it is richly deserving their pat
