EVANS DONS STRIPES.
THE BANDIT SAFELY LANDED AT
FOLSOM.
He Looks Uncom Portable in His Prison
Garb-Mrs. Evans Upbraids Him
for Not Fighting to
the Death.

FOLSOM, Feb. 2i.-Chria Evans, in
charge OF Sheriff Scott and Deputy
| Timmons, of Fresno, arrived on this
mornings train from Sacramento and
was received by delegation of several
hundred citizens. He was placed in
the prison wagon. his wife accompany
ing him, and was taken to the peniten-
tiary. He conversed freely on the way
here and emphstically denied that he
had kicked or even laid hand on Mrs.
Brighton, as stated in the San Francis
co papers. He said he was acquainted
with Morel five or six months, and
knew of no reason why Morel should
loin him, except that probably Evans
mesmerzed him. This was said with q
laugh, and that was all he would say on
the subject.
He said he went to his home in Visa
liza partly to rest from his tramp in the
hills and partly to see his children, and
that he had been betrayed by George
Byrd and his mother to the sheriff of
Tulare county. When Evans saw 30
many old friends and neighbors assem-
bled around his house he did not have
the heart to fire on them. Morel left
the question of surrender entirely to
Evans judgment.
The cabin in the bills, discovered and
destroyed by Sheriff Scott's posse. was
built by Evans and Sontag year ago,
and the sheriff would never have dis
covered its location ii he had not been
told by some pretended and false friend.
On his arrival at the prison, Evans
was given bath and had his beard and
hair shaved and was sttired in royal
Bengal tiger clothes. His most intimate
friends would not know him. He WAS
allowed a five-minute interview with his
wife, in which ne showed much m ore
feeling than she did. She wore de-
termined expression and ali the way up
regretted that he had surrendered, and
eaid he ought to have stood up like q
man and fought to death.
Evans mum Der is 1850. No reporters
or any one else will be allowed to see
him, except his own family. George
Sontag, limping around the yard, smiled
grimly when he saw Evans going to the
barber shop.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - Bland again

A Dime Museum Lion Takes q walk
Among the Audience.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Wallsce, the 500-
pound lion on exhibition at dime
museum here, escaped from his keeper
this afternoon and bounded an ong the
crowded audience. Broncho Boccacio,
the lions trainer, Was about to give an
exhibition in big iron cage.
He entered the cage, but the
servant, whose duty it was to
close the door, failed in some manner,
and the animal seeing hig chance gave
a mighty bound through the opening.
He completely cleared the stage and
landed in the aisle fully 20 feet from the
cage. The brute gave vent to his feel
ings when he struck the floor by send
ing up mighty roar and then went trot-
ting up the aisle, swapping and roaring.
There was the widest kind OF a scram-
BILE among the men, women and chill
dren OF the audience. They dashed over
the stage. rushed into the basement,
hiding themselves in bins and boxes and
in the dressing rooms One man ap-
pealingly offered stage hand big roll

safety behind the curtains or the
boxes. Some came out of the base
ment through the coal holes in the
sidewalk. Wallace was just reaching
the open exit to the street when Bocca-
clio overlook him. He gave the brute a
slash across the face with his whip, and
finally the trainer succeeded in forcing
the lion back toward the etage. The
cage was got in readiness and
after struggle with the brute he was
once more put behind the bars. For
tunately nobody was injured in the mad
rush for liberty, but the museum people

The Great Railroad Race.

The Atlantic Coast Line and the Richmond
and Dau7ille Railroad ran a great race from
Jacksonville, Fla, to New York last week,
resulting in a victory for the A.C. l. by an
hour and forty -oue minutes. The A. G. L.,
route is about Fifty miles the longer and this
makes the victory all the greater. These two
roads are close competitors for Northern
travel, and the race was for the purpose Of
establishing which is the quicker route. The
race excited unusual interest throughout
the country, and the average speed was
remarkable. The following from Tile Nears
and Courier, gives the time of the A. G.. L.,
train:
A table of figures has been obtained from
some Of the railroad officials which gives
some interesting particulars regarding the
. race which was run by trains over the Plant
system and The Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar Road from Jacksonville TO New York last
week. The table shows the speed made by
the winning train on each of the roads over
which i: passed. The table is as follows:
The Savannah, Florida and Western, l72
miles, including stops, 1875 miles per hour.
Over the sam road, excluding stops, $50
miles per hour.
The Charleston and Savannah, l08 miles,
Including stops, 5o.2 miles per hour. The
same road, excluding stops, 81 miles per
hour.
The entire Plant system, 2sO miles, includ-
ing stops, of which one was eleven minutes
for lunch, All miles per hour.
The Atlantic Coast Line system, 1856 miles,
including stops, one OF which WAS twenty
minutes for supper, 80 4 miles per hour.
The Richmond, Fredericksburg AMI Po-
tomac Road, ll6 miles, including stops, 3l.9
miles per hour.
The Pennsylvania Road, 22s miles includ-
ing stops, 1876 miles per hour.
From these figures it will be seen that the
fastest actual time made in the entire run
was made over the Charleston and Savannah
| Road. The Plant system made the best time
by nearly ten miles ar hour of any of he
liues over which the train passed.

TELEPHONE COMPETITION.
Manhattan Telephone Com
pany to come to Texas.

Fort Worth G .zettt: Texas will
soon have a new telephone IN the
field, one made and to be operated
largely by strong company known
as the Manhattan Telephone com.
pany, organized in March, 1893.
TIE Bell Telephone company
patents, covering the Fundamental
principles, have now all expired,
and it is thus possible for the Eco
pie of the country generally as well
as Texas to secure telephone ser
vice that has heretofore been denied
them.
The original Bell patent was
granted Marcn s, 1876. This was
for an instrument then used both as
a transmitter and receiver, but
which is now almost exclusively
known and used as Bell receiving
instrument. In this patent all that
was essential for the transmission of
a1ticulate speech was covered. 1t
was, however, limited to Iarch-
ment diaphragm, and its full life
has therefore expired. In 1877 q
patent was secured covering metal
diaphragm, and this expired this
month. The Bell Telephone COM
pany has been a great monopoly an1
has positively refused to accommo-
date thousands of people with pri-
vate phones because it would lessen
the company's general revenue.
Now that the Manhattan com.
pany is in the field, a far more ex.
tended service can be had, and small
towns, villages and even hamlets
may enjoy tbs benefits of this med
ern necessity. The Manhattan
company was organized for the
manufacture of electric telephones
under patents of Josef Stefan
Wratitsch of Austro. Hungary,
which broadly cover switch boards
for automatically connecting sub.
scribers. These instruments are
manufactured and sold outright to
the subscribing companies in the
various states.
The automatic switch board de-.
vice is so arranged that any sub.
scriber can connect his telephone
with that of any other subscriber
without the aid of central office
without an operator there. In
small towns physicians could have
their own lines to drug stores or to
the houses of their patients.
Merchants would be in constant
communication with their homes
and their customers or with larger
towns near by, or with railroad
stations, if they were doing business
in the country.
The Manhattan Telephone com
pany Of Texas has made Fort Worth
its Texas headquarters, has secured
an immense.store house AID now has
en- route a large shipment Of tele-
phone supplies.
After February the company
will be prepared to furnish tele.
phones for exchanges, private lines
and territorial lines, and will also
be ready TO contract for the com.
plete construction of exchanges and
private lines.
The company's plans are to sell
outright instruments costing from
IS to $40 set, which the purchaser
