Toward the middle of the fourteenth
century, Toledo was laid under siege by
Don Enrique de Trastamara; but the city,
faithful to the King surnamed "The Cruel, %
offered brave and obstinate resistance
Often had the loyal and valiant Toledsns
crossed the magnificent bridge of San Mar
tin-one of the structures of greatest
beauty of that city of splendid erections
and had cast themselves on the encamp-
ment of Don Enrique, which was pitched
on the Cigarrales, causing sad havoc to the
besieging army.
In order to prevent the repetition of these
attacks, Don Enrique resolved upou de-
stroying the bridge.
The Cigarrsles, upon which the army was
encamped, were beautiful lands enclosing
luxuriant orchards, pleasure gardens and
summer residences. The fame of their
beauty had inspired Tirso and many Span
ish poets to sing its praises.
One night the luxuriant trees were cut
down by the soldiers of Don Enrique, and
heaped upon the bridge. At day-dswn an
immense fire ragged on the bridge of San
Martin, which assumed high proportions,
its sinister CLEANS lighting up the devastat-
ing hordes the flowing current of the Tagus,
the Palace Of Don Rodrigo, and the little
Arab Tower. The cracking of the strong
and massive pillars, worked with all the
exquisite skill of the artifcers who created
the marvels of the Alhsmbra, sounded like
the piteous cry of Art oppressed by barbar-
ism.
The Toledans, awakened by this terrible
spectacle, ran to save the beautiful erection
from the utter ruin which menaced it, but
all their efforts were unavailing. A tremen-
dous crash, which resounded throughout
the creeks and valleys watered by the Tagus,
told them the bridge no longer existed.
Alas! it was too truel
When the rising sun gilded the cupolas of
the Imperial City, the Toledan maidens
who came down to the river TO fill their
pitchers from the pure and crystal
stream, returned sorrowfully with empty
pitchers on their heads; the clear waters
had become turbid and muddy, for the
roaring waves were carrying down the still
smoking ruins of ths bridge.
Popular indignation rose to its highest
pitch and oyeriowed all limits; for the
bridge of San Martin was the only path that
led TO the lovely Cigarrales.
Joining their forces for one supreme eff
fort, the Toledans made furious onslaught
on the camp, and after blood had flowed in
torrents, compelled the army to take flight.

lace deftly manipulated to fall to the hem.
while the full bodice which was tucked be-
meath the skirt under striped band of dull
green ribbon, was gathered at the throat in a
small open and had rather high collar of
the lace turned over behind. The girl who
wore this toilet was tall and very slight and
rosy. She was the kind of girl one associ-
ates naturally with black dress and a black
hat and veil. Perhaps for this reason She
had an especially festive look in the flow
cred muslin with its big hat covered with
long white ostrich plumes and tied with
pale green velvet ribbons
A pink checked young married woman
wore pink bengaline figured in black. Her
frock was draped with fine black lace. and
at one side it was festooned with hanging
ribbons. The tight bodice was edged with
a flounce of lace, and the prettilv draped

quent Gum Springs, low drinking and
gambling dive just outside the city limits,
concocted the plot to murder the officers.
They accordingly stationed about 15 of their
gang in ambush along the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad, and two
of their number coming Just
within the city limits commenced fitting
their Winchesters. These two were Gillis
johnson and Frank Rossimus. Chief Naples
with posse of officers went in pursuit of
the pair, and they were led into the ambush.
Over 100 shots were exchanged. Special
Officer Dorsey Williams was shot through
both thighs, and Patrolman Todeker was
shot through the leg. The police were
forced to retire. They returned to the city.
A posse of about 100 citizens, armed with
rifles, were soon marching in pursuit Fin
ally one squad came upon johnson and
Rossimus at sharp bend in the road They
fired. The squad returned the fire, about IS
shots being exchanged, when the toughs
took to the bush. Rossimus was caught a
few minutes later just as he had drawn
bead on Officer Douglass. Five Winchesters
leveled at him induced him to surrender
and he was placed in jail
About o'clock last night johnson sent
word that he would surrender if he would
be taken Immediately to the county Jail at
Pineville, as he feared violence here. He
accordingly surrendered to Deputy Sherifs
outside the city limits He was smuggled
to the county line in the o'clock train
About o'clock this morning a crowd of
masked men entered Jailer Pollitt's Sleep
ing apartments at the city Jail, and pre-
senting pistols to his head, demanded the
keys to the Jail. The jailer was forced to
give up the keys. The crowd then went
into the Jail, took Rossimus out and led
him to the big bridge over the canal on !
Twentieth street, where he was shot several
times. A rope was then fastened around
his neck, and he was swung over the side of
the bridge until o'clock, when he was cut
down. A placard was tackled on the bridge
rail just above the body bearing this in
scription: "Warning-This is the fate of
all would-be murderers

agent, has been abund. tly and unquestion-
ably established in their own practice and
under their own observation.
Their theories and methods they hold in

the modern school they find electricity

IN FAVOR OF TIE CHILDREN.
Judge Over Decides the Famous Ann
Qua1ters VIII Case.


Qualters VIII Case.
Judge Over, of the Orphans Court, yester-
day, handed down an opinion in the matter
of the estate of Ann Qualters. Mrs.
Qualters was widow with children when
she married Qualters, who was widower
with children. Qualters claimed that he
turned his earnings over to his wife for safe
keeping, and that the money she had she
got from him. At her death her children
claimed the estate to the exclusion of
Qualters He asserted that what Mrs.
Qualters had was held in trust for him.
The court held that it did not appear that
Qualters had made more than was necessary
to support the family, as his employment
was irregular
Mrs. Qualters also had means before her
marriage and received money from one of
her children. If the money in bank had be-
longed to Qualters there was no reason why
he should not have deposited it in his own
name. Judge Over decided in favor of the
children.

FIGHTING FOR A BOROUGH.
The Question of Incorporating Duquesne
Argued Before Two Judges.

NutSuOh VI
Argued Before Two Judges.
There was an argument before Judges
Stowe and SlagIe yesterday, in the matter
of the incorporation of Duquesne borough.
Mr.. Rankin represented the objectors,
seven in number, and claimed that large
section of the proposed borough was made
up of farming and manufacturing land,
which were let out by the act of Assembly.
The Allegheny Bessemer Company and the
Howard Plate Glass Company desired to be
let out, as they could see no benefits. The
total acreage Of the proposed borough is S31
acres. Mr.. Rankin claimed that his clients
were not opposed to the incorporation of
the borough, but they do not wish to be in
cluded in it.
w. B. Rodgers stated that Duquesne now
has population of nearly 4,500. There is
no system of sewerage, no fire protection
and no police system. The land Of the pc
titioners would be largely improved, and
they could not be let out, as their property
is surrounded by the new borough. The
Court took the papers, but gave no idea of
when an opinion would be rendered.

BIG RAILROAD EARNINGS.
The Pennsylvania System Makes One-Third
of Its Capital in q Year.

The gross earnings of the Pennsylvania
Railway system for the year 1890 reached
the enormous total of s133, ,531 1928, and its
expenditures were s92,6O3,32 The net
earnings were s41, ,51S,25s The capital
stock of the corporation, including S9,6OO,-
900 issued last year, is S123, OS2 1850, or
nearly $50 per mile of road operated.
The earnings were thus about one-third of
the capital stock in year.
These earnings were realized on 1915
miles of road operated-2,43 435 east Of this
CITY and Erie, and 3, ,4SO west of these points.
The net earnings are about s., ,255 per mile
of road in operation. A fact about this
system is that while its mileage is less than
one-twentieth of the aggregate mileage of
the country, its gross earnings last year were
about one-ninth Of the gross earnings of all
other roads,

Many years passed since the bridge of
San Martin had been destroyed.
Kings and Archbishops had projected
schemes to replace it by another structure,
Of equal strength and beauty; but the
genius and perseverance of the most famous
architects were unable to carry out their
wishes. The rapid, powerful currents of
the river destroyed and swept away the
scafolding and framework before the gi-
gantic arches could be completed.

What wicked underskirts these new ones
arel For summer use, of course. They are
ankle long, yes; but the lace on the edge is
a good half yard deep, and you can see right
through it. Especially if the skirt is black,

modest, nice and all that. But you can see

The young woman of to-day who is

that was told in the Middle Ages about a
proud dame who faunted along with her
tail behind her as vain as o peacock, and vet
presenting most horrible appearance, says
the Sun. For on this tail sat a collection
of little devils, all fighting as hard as they
could and making her burden very hard to
bear. At last, however, she became con-
scious of her folly, and, reaching a sloppy
place, she lifted the train, and all the devils
fell in the mire. Her sense returned to her.

may be mentioned, quite casually, that the
little devils sitting on the trained skirts of
