DENVER, Colorado, April 30.
Francisco Villega, a Mexican
living at Los Vegas, N. NJ, has
been arrested, charged by three of
his own daughters and his wife
with forcible criminal intercourse
with the three daughters. The
oldest daughter, Theresa, aged q
years, testified that he forced her
to submit to his lecherous desires
when she was but child. and that
now she has two children by him.
The second daughter, Lucy. aged
Is, says that her father forced her
to have criminal intercourse when
she was IL years old. Tue young
est daughter, Rhoda, aged 13, says
that her father had been attempt
ing the crime of incest for a year
past, and only accomplished his
damnable purpose recently. Viii
lega is jailed and will receive a
speedy trial, and will doubtless be
punished to the fullest extent of
the law.

It is very seldom that newspa-
pers step aside from the considera-
ton of public interests to look af-
ter matters relating to the press.
But there are occasions on which
this departure from an ordinary
rule is pardonable. Just now there
is before Congress anumber of bills
relating to newspaper postage.
They ought to receive attention.
The postage upon newspapers is
too high and should be lessened.
One of these bills provides that
newspapers shall pay at the rate OF
$40 per ton to regular subscribers
and 50 per ton on all transient mat
ter. This is simply extortion. The
present rate is $40 per ton and is
the most extravagant action known
to the postal schedule. The rate OF
Newspaper postage should be fixed
at $40 per ton for all kinds of cir
culation and for long and short
distances.

-Ur1cA, N. T., April 30.-A most
diabolicsl attempt at incendiarism
bv which 200 were lives imperiled ,
was by mere accident frustrated here
on Monday night. The Odd Fellows.

of the Exchange building. were
celebrating the anniversary OF the
founding of the order. The men,
beers, with their wives and children

member, stepping outside of the
anteroom. saw light on the land-
ing below. Going down, he found
some matches burning and flames
starting from the floor and the
smell of ker osene. After stamp
ing the fire out, an examination re-
vealed the fact that the hallway for
a distance of several feet and en-
tirely across the only exit to the
street had been saturated with ker-
osene and that matches had been
scattered thickly over the entire
SPACE. If the discovery had been
made a minute later the only way
of escape for the people in the Odd
Fellows Hall, except by jumping
from the fourth-story windows,
would have been barred by the
flames. The affair was not report
ed to the assemblage and it broke
up in ignorance of the danger it
had escaped.

Lynched by Negroes.

VIcKsBURa, Miss. April 3d.
The negroes have reversed the
usual style of doing things in this
section. A special from Shipwith,
. small landing on the Mississippi
river, gives particulars of lynch
ing which occurred on the Rustic
plantation. Samuel T. Wilson, q
white man, was acting as guard
over q number of convicts, who
were hauling lumber to a f1atboat,
where q negro named Mcdaniel
was fishing. Wilson and Mcdaniel
had some words, and Wilson made
his con victs take Mcdaniel aboard
his boat and beat him until he was
unconscious and then ordered them
to throw Linn in the river, which
was done. Wilson was arrested and
committed to await the action of
the Grand Jury. Deputy Sheriff
Lawson then took charge of the
prisoner. There were about 300
negroes present during the trial
and threats of lynching Wilson
were freely made. Lawson, with
three guards. etarted to town with
the prisoner, bat bad not proceeded
mere than mile before they we're
surrounded by a large number of
negroes, who disarmed the Deputy
Sheriff and guards aud took the
prisoner, declaring their intention
to hang him, and proceeded to carry
their threat into execution. Wilson
is now hanging to limb in the
Steele bayou swamp.

pAxCROFrv LAST WORK

A Volume That Tells tho Early
History Of California.
The XIIIth volume of Bancrofts
histories has just made its appear
| ance and will be of particular in
terest to residents upon the Pa
| cific Coast, because it tells the
| history of California in the early
times and brings the reader mp to
the time when it will take but an
other volume to bring the facts Of
the absorbing narrative within the
scope of the memories Of the liv-
ing. The book binds together as a
reaper binds his sheaves, the
thousand and one disjointed incl
dents, which up to this time lay
on the field of history like the scat
tered grain which the reaper has
left to the frolics of the winds
Over all this field . hundred his
torians have trampled and forsged,
taking only such as suited their
fancies and leaving the rest to the
mercies of the storms. The at
tractive and the romantic things
have been garnered in score of
little volumes, which had no spec
ial historical value. bat it req uired
Bancroft to separate the wheat from
the chaff and store the whole away
as A No. grain. It is impossible
to do any thing more than general
ize this work. The same attractive
way of handling the subject still
charms the reader, and Bancroft's
happy faculty of clothing dry facts
and figures in an attractive garb IS
manifest in every page. The list of
authorities for the study of the
history of California comprises H.
600 titles of books, pamphlets,
newspapers, printed documents,
articles and manuscripts. AS the
author says: 1T is something more

On the question of instructing
the delegates there was considerable
discussion in the caucus. and it was
decided by the Storey county dele
cation to accesd to the general
wish and instruct for Blaine,
and accordingly they did not pre-
sent the name of Mackay at all.
Even the strongest anti Blaine men
acceeded to this plan and perfect
harmony resulted.
Judge Edwards, of Ormsby, pre-
sided over the deliberations of the
Convention with tact and dig
nifty. and made strong speech
which was loudly applauded.
The resolution expressed the sen
timent that the State was for
Blaine, and the delegates we've ex-
pecsed to carry out fully the wishes
of the people.

alternates went begging, few caring
