The James Brothers are dead but
their spirits still live. The msterializa-
tion took place on Il Denver and Fort
Worth train near Bowie early Saturday
morning. The tra!n-robbery was
scientifically executed and the thieves
got away with the swag in good style.
The passengers dutifully obeyed orders,
held up their hands, fOrked over their
valuables and were as politely treated as,
under the circumstances, was possible
The whole amount taken did not excee d
$1,000, although there was much more
than that on board.

A ABootb,ack,s PeriIous Ride.

Floyd Hayes, aged thirteen years,
WAS admitted to the City Hospital at
Louisville on Wednesday. The drum
OF his right ear is burst. Hayes has
had a thrilling experience. He came
from Kansas City, where he was a boot
black. About ten days ago he con
cluded to 60 to Louisville and
climbed on the trucks OF passenger
coach southwark bound. During O.
ride of three hundred miles he chung to
the iron rods over the trucks, with his
feet but few inches above the rails.
At Springfield, Illinois, when the train
stopped, he fell exhausted from his
perilous seat. He was pulled out by
the trsinmen and given something to
eat. He again got on the truck and
rode to Indianapolis. Then he went to
Louisville in similar manner. The
speed of the train was never less than
thirty five miles an hour, and 1t taxed
his utmost strength to maintain his
position. The sand and gravel whistled
abeut his face and ears, and when he
arrived at Louisville he was covered
with dirt from head to foot. The noise
and dirt combined burst the drum Of
his ear and probably has injured him
internally. For the whole distance he
was on the trucks, and his escape from
death is miraculous one.

THE BELGIUM SOCIALISTS.
The Mexican Side.

CITY OF MEXICO, August l4.-The
Minister of Foreign Relations, Senior Mar
iscal, has addressed comm munication TO
Minister Romero,at Washington, giving a
review OF all the legal points In the Cut
ting controversy. He draws attention to
the inexactitude of some of Secretary
Bayard's statements, due to unreliable
information given him by interested and
excited persons The prosecution of Cut
ting did not originate with the Judge, as
stated by Mr.. Bayard, but was the result
of the offended party's complaint made
in due form. Again, Cutting was not only
not refused legal assistance but was pro-
vided with counsel, he refusing to employ
a lawyer.
The communication enters at length in
| to the question of jurisdiction and cites
numerous authorities, including Wheaton
and other American jurists, in support oi
the claim of Mexico for jurisdiction over
offences, committed against Mexicans on
foreign territory. 1t cites, among others,
Judge Story, who, in reviewing New
York decision, says that, although the
laws of every county are in their nature
local, yet an offence may be committed in
one sovereignty in violation of the laws
of another, and II the offender, be alter
WdTu III buC ldllCI ottbC nC may pS
punished according to the laws thereof,
and the fact that he owes allegiance to
another sovereignty cannot be pleaded as
bar to indictment The letter closes as
| follows:
az am fully convinced of Mr.. Bayard' S
wisdom and sincerity, which have been
shown in his prudent conduct since he
was informed through my letter to Mr..
jackson of the impossibilty on the part
of our government to secure the im-
mediate release of Mr.. Cutting. l also
fully appreciate the sincerity of his re.
peated assurance OF friendly considera
tion for the Government of the
| United States is no less sincere
and profound and we have sufficient
confidence in its wisdom and justice te
expect that when upon learning the whole
truth it finds that it has taken a wrong
position it will not hesitate to recede from
the same and will know how to do us Jus
tice."
Interest in the case is abating, as it Il
believed the matter will be settled by di

Miss petty's Punishment OF a SANDER

A special despatch from OsWego, n -
says: The usual quiet village OF Sandy
Creek is greatly excited over horse
whipping episode that occurred there
day or two ago and several suits for as
sault that have grown out of 1t and that
are still on trial. At the mouth OF Little
Salmon River, ON the shore OF Lake
Ontario, is a pleasant little summer re-
sort, where Eugene o. Bartlett keeps a
hotel. Miss Petty, daughter of Colonel
Petty, of the firm of Petty and Bostwick,
of New York, Wall street brokers, and
Mr.. Willard Lawton, of Cincinnati whose
father is State agent for the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, OF New York,
have been spending the summer at the
little resort.
Miss Petty Is a prepossessing young
lady, about Is years old. Rumor came
to her that Bartlett, the hotel proprietor,
had circulated reports affecting her char
acter, and she became very indignant.
In company with Mr.. Lawton she sought
Justice of the Peace and asked his ad-
vice In the matter. The Justice discour-
aged any legal proceedings, and wnen
asked what he wonld do If 1t were his
daughter he iokingly remarked that he
might perhaps buy horsewhfp. Miss
Petty and Mr.. Lawton took his advice in
earnest, and the former armed herself
with stout rswhide whip, and in com :
pany with Lawton, set out to find Bart
lett. On the way Lawton armed him.
self with broom handle. The aggressive
pair met Bartlett in the highway and de-
manded all explanation. None being
forthcoming, they attacked Bartlett
savagely, Miss Petty laying on heavy
blows IN quick succession across the head
and shoulders. Bartlett ran, but the at
tacking party kept close at his heels.
Finally iLawton tripped and fell, and
Bartlett pounced upon him, struck him
on the head several times, and then re-
treated. Miss Petty being satisfied, both
she and Lawton returned to their lodg'
Iings.
Bartlett was badly punished, and will
Icarry marks of the encounter for many
days. After the whipping he swore out
warrants for Miss Petty and Lawton fol
assault with deadly weapons. The JUS
tice fined Miss Petty $40 which she paid
The case against Lawton is still pending
