struck Williams and Brown, and imme-

He did not see what Williams was doing

THE BAKERSFIELD SENSATION.
No Arrests Made of the Parties Who
Tarred-and- Feathered Herrington.

No Arrests Made OF the Parties Who
Tarred-and- Feathered Harrington.
BAKERSFIELD, October 9th.-No arrests
have been made yet of the parties who
tarred and -feathered Harrington. A COM
mittee, representing themselves from De-
lano, appeared before the Supervisors to-
day, asking that they offer reward for the
arrest of the perpetrators. Their request
was not granted, but they promised to give
literally for the prosecution after arrest.
The District Attorney also stated to the
Board that he was ready to leave no stone
unturned toward the capture and prosecu-
ton of the parties implicated.
There seems to be no doubt in the minds
of the citizens of Kern county but that the
shooting of Harrington was accidental.
The statement that he was tortured with
carbolic acid is said to be untrue.

FILIAL DEVOTION IN CHINA.
Characteristic Report of an Extraordi
nary Act of Devotion.

LhcISOfb VI an
nary Actl of Devotion.
There is small family named Chang
consisting of mother and a son of eleven
summers, living in a place north of Pekin
called "The Old Tige Cave" says the Chi
cago Times. The cid lady was suddenly
struck down with some severe and incur
able malady one day last moon, which
grew worse from day to day. They were
too poor to call in doctors to give her
proper treatment, and her faithful son,
who had constantly attended to her, see
ing his mothers severe illness and their
abiect poverty and helplessness, took
knife and sliced off5a big piece of flesh
from his thigh, and, after invoking the
blessing of heaven, boiled and gave it to
her as medicine and food. Heaven was
so much pleased with such child, full of
fiiial piety, that it granted his earnest
prayers, and his mother, from the day
when the human-feSh medicine was ad-
ministered, rapidly recovered, and was up
in ten days. When that medicine was
given to her the boy did not inform her
of its composition until she was well, when
a big wound from which the mix ture was
made was shown her. 1t is alleged that
the boy suffered no pain or Inconvenience
from the wound, for heaven must have
relieved him from the otherwise great
lain and bleeding for this so noble filial
act, which is not to be found everywhere.
When it was made known to the public
he was held up as an example of true tilial
piety which was taught by our great sage.
The official of that district will memorial
ize the throne to erect tablet or an
arch for his noble and brave deed in rescu-
ing his mother from death by endangering
his own life.

LAND DECISION.
An Opinion by the Land Office Reversed

by the Secretary of the Interior.
WASHINGTON. October 9th In 1885
James P. Hamilton entered land in the San
Francisco district, and in 1884 discovered
that he had erred and should have entered
quite another parcel of land, but during
the interval John NJ. Hendley had already
filed on the land. Hamilton's application
for correction of the error was rejected by
the local officers. and the decision was sus-
tanned by the Commissioner of the General
Land Office. who held that the long lapse
of time makes the question of Hamilton's
good faith re sadjudictata. The Secretary
dissents from the latter proposition, and
therefore reverses the Commissioners de-

A L~ILL1PUTIAN RAILWAY.
Nine Miles of Ten-Inch Gauge Road in
Massachusetts.

A wonderful railroad is the n which
connects the towns of Bedford and Belle
vue, Mass, says the Albany argus. 1t is
Line miles in length, and is probably as
unique as any on the globe. The distance
is not so astonishing, except when the
gauge of ten inches is considered.
In the short distance ~traversed by the
pigmy it crosses eleven streams, with
bridges from five to thirty-ive feet in
height The rails weigh but twenty
pounds to the yard, about the size OF those
used in the mines of Missouri and Illinois.
The cars and engines are constructed so
as to be very near the ground, insuring
greater safety. The cars are provided
with single seats on each side of the aisle.
The car itself weighs but four tons, the
weight of an ordinary car being twenty
to tWenty-six tons. The engine, without
the tender, weighs seven tons, and uns
with two passenger freight cars at the
rate of twenty miles al hour. There is
a smaller railroad than this in the United
States-the one in Bucks county, Pa
but it is only kept as an expensive toy by

HIS RAIN
A Well Known Police Officers Clever
Scheme to Get Off an Express Train.

A Well Known Police Officers Clever
Scheme to Get Off an Express Train.
Inspector Williams, Of the New York
police force, who has dubbed many men
in his time, told me the other day Of an
incident that occurred last summer, in
connection with which he acknowledged
that he himself should have been the club
bee. The Inspector has a cottage at a
place called Cos Cob, on the New Haven
road, where he spends his holidays. He
was going up there one afternoon, and at
New York, by mistake, got aboard the
express instead of the local train that
stops at Cos Cob. The express does net
stop until it reaches Stamford, which is
some distance beyond the inspectors des-
tination. Williams did not know the
conductor and could think Of no way to
get safely off from an express train going
at the rate of forty miles an hour, so he
made use of his philosophy, a large guam
tity of which he always carries with. him
when he travels, and he settled down in
his seat intending to take a much needed
rest; but the fates were against his get
ting the bite of sleep that his system
craved. An inquisitive countryman, who
knew little of railroad travelling, dropped
into the seat beside him, and asked him
the track, what he reckoned the speed
was, whether he had ever seen a COW
mussed up by the engine" Williams
gave the man monosyllabic and fretful an
Swers, but Mr.. Hayseed kept on talking.
" Forgot to bring a lunch" he said, "never
needed a snack as bad. Wisher had a
chunk of pie, or even a ham sandwich.
'Spose no chance to get it on this train p
AS the old fellow said this Williams
was gazing out Of the window at the be-
loyed Cos Cob, which the train was rap
idly approaching, and which he knew
they would sWoop past in about a minute.
Suddenly he gave a start, His massive
sixty-two ounce brain bumped against the
roof his skull and an idea was born.
Mister" he said, turning to the coun-
tryman, IL think you said you wanted
something to eat. I can tell you how
you can get a good square chicken sand
witch. Step right up to the middle of the
car and pull that clothes line neal the roof
-yank it hard a couple of times-and the
train boy wiz bring you the stuff"
The old fellow started for the bell rope,
and Williams stepped out on the plat
form. He said the train stopped with
such an extemporaneous jerk that he was
fired head first into a pile of sand about q
hundred yards from his own gate.
"And how Jared it with the old man p
I inquired, "and what did the conductor
