! GOT nlM At Last.

Arevengefnl traveler on a certain
railroad in this State packed a car
pet-bag full Of loaded revofvers, and
handed it to gentlemanly baggage
smasher who had ruined three or
four trunks for him already. The
smasher flung the bag up against
the wall savagely, and then threw it
on the floor and then stamped on it,
as usual. At about the fourth jump
firing began along. the whole line.
Forty six revoivers went off in rap
id succession, distributing bullets

who was shotin six places before
he could get out of the car. He
rode upon the platform during the
whole of that trip; and when he did
enter the car he incased his legs in

plow in front of him to push the
baggage out with. He smashes per-

once did in the blissful past-huch
fewer; and he is filled with gloom.

TINE WAEWoRTH CASE.

Though Tie New York papers APP
pear to be satisfied With the Iverdict
in the walwofth ease, and praise
very highly the manner in which
the trial was conducted,it can scarce
meet general appreciation. Perhaps
this may be chargeable to the new
law under which the case was tried.
The old statute made killing with
a we'll defined intent to kill, though
that intent arose at the instant of
the aety mafder. in the-6rst degree.
By the new law there must be q de-
liberate aud premeditated design to
constitute the crime. If the killing
be Intentional, but without delibera-
tion or premeditation, the ofense is
murder in the second degree. Vir-
tually, then, the jury in this case
has decided that young Walworth
intended to kill his father, but that
he had not premeditated the deed.
We cannot believe that such stat
ute will long hold public favor, Or
serve the ends of public justice. I'm
der its operation hanging must, in
deed, soon be played out: for may
not the murderer so throughly con-
ceal his intent,o or SO adroitly manage
the scenes preliminary to the killing
as to give the impression that the
design was only conceived a mo-
ment or SO before being put into ex-
ecution? This was the theory
which saved Walworth from the
scaffold. Had Stokes been tried un-
der the same law, he would as GER
tainly never have been condemned
to death. -'-s- fs3s-- ID

HOW THE KIcKAPoos WERE SUR.
81 PRISED.

A San Antonio, Texas, letter says
Col. McKenzie's raid over the Dor
der upon the cattle stealing Kicka
poos was carried out with l20 men
of the Tenth Calvary. Each man
was armed with a Spencer rife and
a pair Of cavalry revolvers. No sa
bers were taken by the men. On the
night of May 17,at about ten O'Clock
the.men crossed the Rio Grande en-
route for Santo Ross, distance about
sixty miles from the river. and stu
ated in the district where the Kicka-
poo and Lipan Indians, with their
Mexican accomplices, reside. eau
tiously proceeding, the party reach
ed Santa Rosa at an early hour on
the morning of the 18th. The de-
tachment rushed at full speed
through the old Mexican town, and
passed on to the side, where, about
mile off they fell upon the Kicka
poo camp. There were probably a
couple Of dozen Indians stirring in
the camp as the cavalry came up,
but the surprise, fortunately for the
soldiers, was so complete that the
redoubtable warriors, who had not.
awakened, were unable to make
more than a feeble resistance. The
fight such as it was, lasted about
ten or fifteen minutes. In that time
two of the attacking party were kill
ed and two mortally wounded. Of
the Kickapoos twenty-eigbt were
killed and forty-two were captured,
among women and children. Many
of the Indians escaped to the noun
tains which were near by, and the
cavalry retreated, taking their pris
oners with them. The Kickapoos
were in war-paint and feathers, One
of the warriors shot was man OF
gigantic stature, measuring seven
feet. high. Heavy silver ornaments
were a noticeable feature of his at
tire. DEE

When an elderly individual loses
an article, the entire neighborhood
is quite apt to hear of it. There is
an old gentleman who recently lost
his specticles, and he tore around
the house, and out in the yard, shout
ing. "Where's them spectacies"
'.Merciful heaven!, won't anybody
find them spectaclesg' And he kept
this up for days st . time, ,stirriBgIup
the whole community into a state Of
excitement that was extremely hurt
full. He looked himself into every
place where pair of spectacles
would be likely to conceal itself,
such as under the wood pile, in the
parlor stove. and on the top of the
barn, but to no avail. Saturday
Norning he was taking a sitting

.ia Relative to earnings, the census

average annual earnings Of the peo-
pie Of the United States do not ex-

4es. the average annual earnings is
81 GOO, Of those who receive salari.

ed professions the annual average is
50, 500. This census is said to de.
monsrate that the people of the Uni.
4nited States make more money pei
capita than the people of any other
nation But the manner in which
the people of this country are living
demonstrates that they spend more
per capita than the people of any
'other- country. And there is. no
doubt that a majority Of people In
each ofthe above classes live beyond
.TIa5t
their incomes, which fact can be set
down as one of the chief causes of
the present hard times. Since the

narrow gauge railways in operation
in the United States, having 700
miles of track, and there are no less
than 120 organization. These roads
have been planned and constructed
within the last two years. The cost
through level county is about So
600 mile, including fair equip
ment of rolling stock, while the 4
foot 81 inch gauge costs from $780,
600 to $45, 900 per mile. In the West
where the traffic is not large, the
