Road Bills.

The new road bills will claim the at
tention Of the Legislature shortly, as they
have already been introduced in the Sen
ate. with the probability that they viii
soon be.reported from committee says the
Harrisburg Telegraph. The first provides
for the construction, improvement and
maintenance Of public roads; the asseSs-
ment and collection of road taxes; the
election and to define the duties of coun-
ty and township supervisors next No
vember, who are to examine candidates
for township supervisors to be elected in
February, 1896; for annual conventions of
the township supervisors; for the perma-
nent improvement of the roads 10y the

terial, and for letting contracts to proper
ty owners 10 beautify and permanently
improve public roads abuttiEg on their
property, according to the uniform plans
and specifications of the road convention
and supervisor ofthe county. The other
road bill makes an appropriation of ST.
OO0,0o0 annually for road purposes, the
fund To be disbursed To the various coun-
ties in proportion to the number of miles
ofpublic road in each, and requires the
road supervisors 10 measure all such
roads and make sworn returns OF the
same.
There viii be road bills and road bills
by the score. and there will be good, bad
and indifferent road bills from which the
Legislature will have to make selection,
but at all events there should be new
road bill. That is Imperative. The roads
ofPepnsylvania are in a miserable condi-
ton They are the merest apology for
roads, and this condition exists because
we have no good road law that viii COM

a Just and Noble Judge.

A remarkable scene of n man beg
ging and pleading for his life, alleging
fear of lynching, was witnessed in Judge
Buckwalter's court at Cincinnati, Dee.
81. The prisoner was \. ii. Hampton,
alias Jackson, Il tall col0red man indicted
in Marion county, Ky, for shooting aud
| wounding farmer who accused him OF
robbing his orchard. Hampton fed to
Cincinnati and was arrested. w. W.
Penn presented himself i'm court with eX-
| tradition papers, in which there was not
a flaw. When Hampton was brought in
/ to court his face assumed sickly hue
and he trembled so violently he could
hardly assume standing position.
stretching out his long gaunt arms to the
judge, he mcaEed: oh, Massa Jedge,
| dom sent me TO Kentucky. / aint no
coward, bat dey wants to lynch me.
| OATS the way dey do down dah. Use
seed 'em DO it. Use got letters from my
friends telling me they would string me
up. Don't sent me back, Jedge, I'll
have no chance"
Judge Buckwal,er asked Mr.. Penn if
he had heard such threats.
"Yes, sir" was the answer.
Then the court, with his finger pointed
at the deputy-sheriif said: -Four months
| ago sent on extradition papers a fugi-
tive from justice into Kentucky. He was
| lynched soon after he left the train. The
authorities broke their word with this
court. The state of Kentucky broke
faith with her sister state of Ohio i'm the
protection of human life. will not send
| this man away from these courts until |
! have a letter from your governor and
from the presiding judge of your district
that Hampton's life will not be placed in
jeopardy, and that he is given fair and
impartial trial"
A murmer of applause arose from the
large crowd present. Hampton was re-
turned to Jail.
The governor OF Kentucky is highly
incensod al Judge Buckwalter's action
and will refuse 70 guarantee fair trial.

WE WANT A PARTY TO BUILD A
frst-class family hotel, and operate the
same at Highland Park, on Pasadena


drst-class family hotel, and operate the
same at Highland Park, on Pasadena
ave. on the new electric Cur line; the
Santa Fe and Terminal also go through
the park, making this one OF the most
desirable locations for first-class hotel
in the state.
Highland Park being 300 feet above Los
Angeles and clear OF fogs makes it one
of the most healthy locations in the co an :
try, being just outside OF the city and
reached by three different railroads in
20 minutes from Los Angeles. Pasadena
ave. is the great boulevard for ull vehicles
between Los Angeles and Pasadena, and
1T is a grand thoroughfare.
We have many inquiries from our Gus
toners for hotel accomm odations at the
park, and must have one built.
few reasons why hotel in this To-
cality would be the best-paying invest
ment capital could find;
Pasadena is now without large hotel,
the Raymond having recently been
burned.
Highland Park is nearer Los Angeles
than the site of the Raymond.
The climate is simply perfect as health
or pleasure resort.
The surroundings are desirable in
every conceivable way.
IouTlStS VINO WISH tn1S part OF cOutnern
California are clamoring for hotel accom-
modations.
From this point can be had an uninter-
rupted view of Mount Lowe and the beau
tiiul scenery toward the sea.
Highland Park has unsurpassed rail-
road facilities.
The tivs-acIe block on which such a
hosiery can be built is most desirable
and attractive.
A fortune awaits the man or men who
will invest their money in this p-oposi-
ton, as every room would be filled with
permanent or Transient guests, at prices
that would pay, within less than thirty
days after the completion of the build
ing.
Anyone controlling capital should thor
oughly investigate this matter, as it is
such rare opportunity that it cannot
long remain open.
