a week of mental effort he solved the
problem involved and thereafter en-
joyed himself greatly
Scranton was constantly buying new
cylinders; some with operate music,
others with banjo solos or recitations
by famous actors The much used
cylinder containing his confession he
kept carefully locked in a drawer by
itself, and placed it on the machine
only at the dead of night. One night,
after quieting his conscience by listen
ing to the CHASTITY story of his crime, he
failed to lock the compartment re-
served for the accusing wax 1t was a
fatal omission: murder will out unless
you always turn the key.
The next afternoon John, the valet,
experienced the most frightful sensa-
ton of his life. He listened, awestruck,
to his masters voice as it related the
story of great crime. Then, like the
shrewd man he was, he sat down and
debated with himself the best method
of turning this weird find to his own
advantage. At first he was inclined to
inform Scranton that he had discov-
cred his secret. John realized that his
silence was worth a great deal of
money, and he knew that Scranton
could afford to pay well to escape the
gallows.
But the valet was at heart a coward.
He had long stood in awe of his master,
and he reflected that man who muir
ders one unfortunate who holds his Sc
cret would not hesitate to sacrifice a
second victim. So John abandoned
J the idea of blackmail.

row the house will take up the measure
reported by Mr.. Richardson of the joint

New YORK, Jan. 17.-For the past
three weeks the police have been
agitated over a series of peculiar as
saults committed by man who came to
be known as ''Jack the Slasher," who
suddenly walking up behind partially
intoxicated pedestrians, would cut.their
throats with a razor, then disappear.
This morning Detective Masterson,
noticing suspicious actions on the part of
roughly dressed stranger, Swallowed
him, finally catching him in the act OF
committing an assault OF the kind men
toned. He was arrested and when
searched blood stained razor was found
upon him. s@
The man gives the name Of Henry G..
Dowd. He says he was born in Liyer-
pool, coming to this county when boy.
He has confessed some OF his crimes,
saying his impulse to kill under certain
circumstances was uncomfortable. He
wanted to kill all Germans A German

He had been incarcerated in an asy INN

The Southern California Railway Co.
have just completed lin uniting what
was formerly the Redlands ana High
land branches. This new line will be
opened on Sunday, the 18th instant,
with an excursion rate of $2.05 for the
roind trip over both belt lines
Trai leave Flrst-stre t station at
s 30 a. m. via Pasad ma, make the
circuit of the new beltline and return
to Los Angeles via Riverside and Orange
without change of car. A sec nd train
leaving Los Angeles at II a. m. via
Orange and Riverside makes the trip
in the opposite direction, this train also
rnning through without change of
cars. This will be a permanent ar
rangement and trains will run daily as
above.
IL is expected that this addition to
the railway system of Southern Cali
fornia will res 1t in much good o this
portion OF the state, as it gives an op-
portunity for all to examine our re-
sources at small outlay of time or monty.
The title, "Tne Scenic Line of Southern
California" is claimed for the new line
on account of the splendid mountain
scenery on the Hi hlano Loop and the
beautiful orchards aud vineyards in the
thr great valleys traversed by the line.
The two trains above referred to have
been aptly named The Panorama
Trains, and the Panoramic Tour is
without doubt the finest trip in South
ern California, and ride over the kite
shaned track will be the mo interest
ing in the state.
Folders describing the new line can
be obtained from agents of the Santa
Fe route.

Whereabouts or His Plans.

Cry OF Mexico, Jan. 17.-It is ru.
mored here that CARA will soon be
captured. General. Reyes has organized
five columns of rangers for operations
between Laredo and Matamoras, and it
is thought the American troops will force
the revolutionists over to this side, and
their capture is sure. The rumors of
revolutionary proceedings in Chihuahua,
Durango, Sonora and Cohahuila are with
out foundation. The government is not

frontier, considering their presenee there

THE TROUBLE SUBsIDING.
SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 1.-THE Cara
trouble has apparently subsidized 80 far
as open hostilities are concerned, but
there is still widespread distrust along
the border that the willy revolutionist
may bob up again, at any place, and
troops remain in the field. So
far as Cara is concerned, there
is no reliable information as to
his wherea bouts or plans, but this is o
indication that he has given up the
movement or is without sympathizers
or supporters. The report that he is in
the vicinity of Eagle Pass with con-
siderable following appears to be with
out foundation. hile the movement
was from the first belittled by the Mexi-
can authorities, it has nevertheless
operated to the detriment of Mexico
from a business standpoint, if not po-
litically.
TROOPS GUARDING THE FoRDs.
DEL RIO, Tex. Jan. 17.--About thirty
or forty United States soldiers arrived
here last night and camped at the ford
of the Rio Grande river to guard it. An
other detachment is at the mouth ofthe
Sycamore for the same purpose. The
Mexicans here are quiet, and from all
that can be learned don't appear to be
organizing.
A MEXICAN YARN.
A prominent stockman from near
Langley, reports that he saw twenty
six revolutionists cross the Rio Grande
yesterday; also that Mexican told
him band had captured Piedras
Blanco ranch, in Mexico, sixty miles
from Dryden, and that fighting is going
on in that vicinity. The Mexican told
him there are 1000 rebels in that region,
all armed and in good lighting trim.
SMALL AFFAIR.
4 EAGLE PASS, Tex, Jan. 17.-A promi-
nent gentleman visiting here, speaking
of the CARA revolution, says it amounts
to. little that the Clerical party, while
still entertaining views of restoring &C.
clesiastical power in Mexico, will not be
successful. rhe clergy now manifest a
continual disposition to override and
ignore the law, especially in repeatedly
violating the law governing civil mar
riages.
THE MEXICAN FAMINE.
The country about Cohahuila and Du
range has been without rain for three
years, and naturally affairs there are in
bad shape Many people depending
upon dai " labor for support, are now
out of employmen The government
is selling necessities of life al actual cost,
as we'll as making appropriations to fur
nish them free to those unable to pay.
III rain comes these people will all be
enabled to help themselves.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE

by the late Senator Plumb just before
his death, to that paper. In it he SAID
he was glad the Times was continuing

"that this question is coming TO the
front in national way; in fact, the
feeling is very strong to shift the issue
from tariff to currency. Something
will happen one of these days which
will open the eyes of good many peo-
