A FIGHT WITH mANtACS.
Desperate Attempt Of Insane Criminals
TO Escape from New
York Asylum.

A general uprising Of the inmates OF one OF
the wards OF the state asylum f1r insane
criminals in Auburn. New York. took plaec
last week Ward Six in the asylum contains
hfty-seyen patients, among whom arc some Of
the most desperate eriminais in the country.
Numerous attempts hyye been previously
made in this ward to oyerpower the attendant
and effect an escape, aud on nearly every oc-
casIon the ringleader Of the revolt has been
Edward Meredith.
Head Attendant Lueie, who was In charge
OF the ward, was approached by Meredith, who
pulled out a slunE-zhot which he had kept
concealed in his clothing and dealt Lucle
terrific blow 10 the back Of the neck, render
ing him unconscious At the moment The
blow was struck, number Of Meredith's zs-
sociates who were in the secret rushed iato
the room together and they secured the chest
of dozen rzors with which the attendants
shave the conyiets weekly. With the formid-
sble weapons and a number Of slung-shots
similar to the one carried by Meredith thirty
of the inmates Of the ward charged upon the
attendants and made a determined dash for
liberty.
In a short time twenty-five physicians, at
tendants, guards and laborers at work in the
building appeared upon the scene. For thir-
ty minutes pandemonium reigned. The Of
icers grasped anything within their reach
for weapons and brayely undertook to quell
the disturbance.
The mad rush Of the demoniacal convicts was
stayed, but they continued TO brandi.h their
razors and threaten the life of any one who
dared to arrest their progress
The ringleaders were hually forced from
A.. n. Al
Der OF attendants rushed up with a line Of
hove from fire plug and a huge stream Of
water was turned upon the rebels. This heroic
treatment quickly cooled their ardor and the
backbone Of the emuete was broken. The
convicts quickly eapitulated, laid down their
cells

Only 1WENTY-EieHT HOURS.
The BurliEgton's Fast Time
Denver and Chicago-lt VIII 90
Into Effect April "a.

For some time past there has been consider
able agitation In railroad circles over the MAJ
ter of fast time and the ability OF eastern hhes
to shorter up the time between Denver anu
Chicago Many have claimed that the pres
ent schedule, averaging about thlrE-n's
miles an hour, Is fast enough, and inasmuen
as II places passengers in Chicago early the
second morning and in ample time for az
eastern connections, there IA no necessity ior
any change The fact, however, that the
Burliugton's famous No. l has for years made
the run from Chicago to Denver In twenty
nine hours has caused the travelling public
TO inquire why the same time is not made
east-bound. This inquiry has grown untii It
now amounts to almost a demand, and Bur
llngton company, with its usual progressive
spirit in all matters pertaining to the puohe
welfare proposes to meet it,
Under the new schedule which goes into
effect next Sunday, April "a, two addition"
fast trains will be put on, making lhret
through trains daily each way between Den.
yer and Chicago. The new train eAsi-boune

leave Denver at O'Clock a. N. and reAeu
Chicago at p. m. the next day, making the
run, after dedueting one hour Tor change
from mountain TO central time, In twenty
eight hours. and beating the famous No, l's
time lust one hour. The time Of the special
TO Omaha will be thirteen hours and forty-hEe
minutes, thus enabling passengers TO leave
Denver and arrive at Omaha the same day,
and Chicago with only one night out
No. 3, ..the fast mall, - will be the new train
west bound, aud viii leave Chicago with Pas
sengers at 1880 p. m. The fast mail VIII
leave Chicago al 5 O'Clock a. m, overtaklnE
the passenger at Ashland, Nebraska, and
arriving in Denver at : 10 O'Clock the second
morning.
This VIII give the Burlington route the
four fastest trains in the West. one Of them
being faster than the celebrated Penusylvsnla
limited.
Some are inclined to doubt the ability Of
the Burlington people TO make this time, bat
the regularity with which their No, l, leaving
Chicago at O'Clock every afternoon aud ar
irving In Denver at 6:I5 the next evening,
rolls into the union depot every day, together
with the phenomenal speed they have recent
ly made with special theatrical trains, dem
onstrates that they possess both the track
and the equipment to make the time with
safety.
This movement on the part OF the Burling-
ton management TO give Deover the benefit
of three such fast trains daily and service
that is unsurpassed by any railroad IN thg
land, will no doubt be duly appreciated by
our citizens and the public generally, and
should. as Il doubtless will, rebound in an in,
creased business to this already popular line

PRIEST MURDERED.
THE WORK OF A MANIAC.
htfuI Tragedy In n Spanish Church
During Service.

orrible deed was committed or the
,urch at Anglesola, village in the
Lerlda, Spain. The usual ser
Friday were being observed and
IS filed to its utmost capacity
arshlpers Everything was
-slne the solemn services, and
..neIsco Merit, the priest in charge
-.e parish, was kneeling at the altar. Sud
denly. without a word of warning, a man
armed with a revolver and short sword, ,sprang
out from behind the pulpit, to the left Of the
altar, where he had been concealed, and
rushed upon the priest, brandishing his
sword.
Father Marti, whose back was to the con-
gregatIon, seemed TO have Instructive warning
that danger threatened him, and he partly
turned his head in the direction of the man,
but he was too late to do more than raise his
hand to attempt to ward of the sword blow
he saw aimed at him. The man stood over
his kneelinC victim and In an instant the
priest lay dead in front Of the altar where he
had long served The assassin's blow had
struck the back of his neck, and the keen
blade almost severed his head from his body.
The corpse fell forward and a stream OF blood
poured down the altar steps Part Of the
hand the priest had raised in his vain effort to
ward of the blow was cut of and lay beside
the bleeding body.
BY this time the people realized the awful
ness of the tragedy they had just seen enacted
Women shrieked in terror and many OF them
tainted away Some Of the more cool headed
men attending the services made an attempt
to seize the murderer, but they were thwarted
by the assassin, who had armed himself with
a revolver for just such contingency. Lev
cling his weapon he fired right and left and
drove his wUuld-be captors TO seek safety in
flight One woman, shrinking and crouching
close to the altar rails, was hit by one of the
bullets She uttered most piercing shrek,
threw up her hands, and fell dead to the
floor.
The worshipers were panIc-striekeu.
general rush was made for the doors, and
many of the people were thrown down and
trampled upon by the excited througs
behind them. Several of them were quite
seriously injured in this manner, among the
number being some children, who it Is be
ueved will die.
The assassin, whose revolver was now
emptied, sprang into the fleeing crowd, and
welding his sword, still dripping with the
blood of the priest, he slashed right and left,
cutting his way to the street. The crowd
huddled closer together to avoid the vicious
blows aimed at them, making as far as posi-
BILE clear path for the murderer, but quite 4
number were hit by the sharp weapon and
very dangerously wounded. Once he reached
the street the assassin started on a run and
soon vanished, but he was afterward captured.
He is doubtless insane, Father Maru was
universally beloved by his people.

SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS.
Enforced Against An Kinds of Work In
Sioux City.

For the first time in the history Of Sioux
City, business was suspended on the 18th.
The Sunday Enforcement League has closed
places of business, forced most OF the transit
lines to suspend operations, and has even
closed some OF the restaurants. All stores,
billiard rooms, etc, were closed, aud it was
impossible to buy cigar. The league Is
composed of saloon men and associated
classes, who have been driven out of business
by the enforcement of the prohibitory law.
They say they Will enforce all laws of the
state alike, and give the people taste Of real
enforcement Iowa has some blue laws that
have long been forgotten, but they have been
resuscitated.
The league is said to have the sympathy
and support of many leading people, and an
nounces that 1t will follow up the work vfgor-
ously and enforce the closing of all business
on Sunday and make 1t permanent Serious
trouble is feared before the end is reached.

that the criterion of the age is not

appears to be money. When youths

PEOPLE Of large cities where the

,ary enjoy au advantage which is de-
aied people OF the country where the
physician is not only compelled to
prescribe, but to fill the prescriptions
also. This advantage consists in the
valuable check which the druggist
amounts to whenever he audits the
physicians prescription. There ara
absent-m minded doctors just as there are
absent minded lawyers and preachers
and business men. 1t often happens
that doctor writes one thing when
he means to write another.

The wyoming rrnuhls.

Reports from the scene of the cattle war In
dlcate that the trouble has by no means been
ended by the arrival Of the United States
troops. The feeling stirred up by the killing
OF Champion and Ray Is extremely bitter, and
as soon as the soldiers are taken away, ,hostili-
ties will likely be resumed. The worst Of the
situation is that guerrilla warfare is likely 10 be
the result and men picked OF singly by con-
cealed marksmen as they pass along lonely
