Mr.. s. q. Hargis, with the express
company at this place, arrived last
night from Hutahins, where he had
gone on hearing of the robbery Of the
train. Mr.. Hargis stated TO the reporN
ter that there were no new develop
ments concerning the robbery. The
company had posse securing the
country, but rs yet there was no clue
as to where they had gone or as to who
they were. He stated that II was not
certain how much the robbers hnd
gotten, but that 1t was the general
opinion that II was several thousand
dollars. 1t is thought by those con.
nected with the road that four thousand
five hundred dollars was the amount.
Marshal Morton and squad returned
yesterday morning from Hutchine after
securing the country in that vicinity
and failing to find the least clue OF
them. The railroad and express COM
pany are exerting themselves to their
utmost to ferret them out, and they
think with show of being successful
In the undertaking.

Ever since the property fret came into
his hands he has thought OF digging II
down TO rec what II contained, but tho
matter was put oil from time to time
until last Saturday, when he deter
mined to investigate II, proceeding at
once to dig II down. II was
no small job, for after throwing
oil the earth to the depth OF some two
feet he discovered layer OF rock,
which continued throughout After
considerable labor no succeeded IN
fathoming It's mystery, which proved

beside II lay tho barrel of M old-.ash-
toned rifle, while number OF flint ar
row points lay scattered around. Be-
sides these there were large lot Of col
ored beads, and buckle similar TO
those worn on the knee brooches In
revolutionary times, and which had in
all probability been captured by the
occupant OF the skeleton from some
officer. Only one Of the teeth OF tho
skeleton WAS gone, the rest being well
preserved. Mr.. Humphreys says he
intends to get physician to mount II,
when he will present II to the museum
at Washington city.

more of 1t until the clothing is de-
livered at our residences. In Paris
the purchaser selects the material
and has his measure taken, when
he is told he must come the next
day and try on the coat and vest,
and as he tries on each skeleton
garment, the cutter, filter
and tailor surround him and
supervise the operation. The
day and hour Is then appointed for
him to come and try on the fin
ished garments before they are de-
livered. When the time arrives
he is taken into hack room and
must strip again, as they will not
deliver pair of pantaloons until
they have seen them on the pur-
chaser. This time the proprietor
also accompanies the cutter, filter
and tailor, and the group stand
around and inspect each gsrment
as it is tried on. If there is any
alteration required, IL Is chalked
and altered before being delivered.
This is very troublesome, but still ii
carries with it the assurance of a
good fit. The dressmakers are
equally persistent in this trying
aud fitting process, and when a
lady in Paris gets in the hands of 9
dressmaker she must go daily until
the dress is done and must then try
it on before it Is delivered.

priests, led the column. At their

his hand. The procession sang a
hymn with the refrain, "Long live

the requisite warning to disperse

WE are glad to be able TO chroni-
Gle, truthfully, signs of business re-
vival in Los Angeles county.
These indications are not confined
to the heavy movement of grain,
or to the fact that our much decried
crops are really proving quite
large. The dull times we have had
this summer are strictly referable
to the drouth of last year. We are
already beginning to experience
the quickened hope and elasticity
flowing from the changed condi-
ton OF things. We have had most
of our rough experience, and have
about reached the turn of the lane.
A general conviction of this fact is
having apparent wholesome conse-
quences. During the past two
years our people have been won.
dsring If they would ever again see
good times. In twelvemonth
from to-day they will be pondering
over the strangeness of our ever
having had bad times. We doubt
II Los Angeles, either in the county
or city, was a good place in which
to invest money during the infla-
ton of three years ago. We are
certain that to-day, for man who
can wait q little for the fruition Of
his venture, both Los Angeles city
and county are the best places on
the American continent for invest
ment. We have had our little
Sag" we have endured its draw
backs surprisingly we'll and we
shall soon be rejoicing In the spring
and energy Of the rebound.

How She Caught the Rich Widower.

[Chicago Times Long Branch letter.
When the rich widower
arrived with his two children and
servants AID horses and equipages,
etc., our stylish young lady was
fully prepared for an attack upon
them all. 1t was just after sunset
when she came out upon the piazza
with q volume of Tdine in her
hands. She looked at no one, but
seated herself in the most graceful
of attitudes, and in the very best
light, and buried herself in the
brilliancy of this great and per-
sistent candidate for the French
Academy. She was dressed in
gauzy black robe, all flecked over
with old gold. Her black silk
stockings were embroidered Ia gold
tints, and her pretty little slippers
did their very best for her delicate
feet that refused isolation under
her tie-back. Gold sequins encir-
cled her white throat below a ruche
of old yellow face. Her elbow
sleeves were filled in with the
same family treasure, and long
Chantilly gloves whitened and ex.
hibited her arms. Not ring broke
the shapely outlines of her aristo-
cratic fingers, and only a fillet of
gold banded her head, the hair
of which was brushed up in q loose
coil and held in position by an ar
row of gold tipped with tilligree.
A rich cluster of Jaquenot roses
was fastened to her belt, and
a fan of peacock feathers waved
softly in her right hand. All other
ladies were costumed in white
muslin with many ribbons,
frizzed or waved or curled
coiffures, but the stylish
young lady. Oh! she knows but
too well the powerful effect of con-
trast. The widower's pretty little
daughter was wandering up and
down in front of her, but the child
was apparently unnoticed. (Oh
wasn't she?) Her little white
dress and black sashes fluttered not
in the eyes of the wise actress
did they?) By and by the heavy |
volume of Taine slipped from her
hands, at the exact moment, by ac-
cident, you know, and it fell upon
the little feet of the passing child,
Ii you could have heard the pur-
ring sorrow, the sweet soothlngs |
and the tender apologies, all min
gled with flattery to the really un-
hurt child, while the father stood |
by endeavoring to say that it was
of no consequence at all, which,
Of course, it was not, as the lit.
tie one was laughing, and liked
1t, and also have seen the eloquent
upturned face of the stylish girl as
she said to the father, "Pray per-
NIT me to take the little one to its
mamma and make my apologies to
her." you would exclaim, "What
great genius Is lost to the dramatic
world while this young woman
performs only for limited audi.
ences!" While / am writing land
the volume of Taine fell only five
days ago), I look from my window
to see him lift the stylish girl into
q saddle for gallop with him
through the twilight upon one of
his own superb horses. She never
looks handsomer than in her rid.
Ing-habit upon fine steed.
