Nov. a-The World con-
ditional details of the burning
hefetics by the Judge of the Mexi-
IAN town of Texacapa, which is pub
lished today in special dispatch from
Pachauca. The dispatch says:
AS soon as the news reached Mol
lange, the principal town in the dis
trict. the municipal president and MI
nor officials, with an escort OF over 90
men, armed with rifles, went to Tex
acapa, where they found everybody in
the public square executing grotesque
dances in honor Of the Virgin of Quad
aloupe, around the ruins of the Jail, a
small building close to the parish
church.
In this Jail previous to Saturday had
been confined Nicolas Hernandes, Mar
tin Santiago, Jose Manuel, Casper Her
nandes, Juan Tomas, Juan Tomas, I'd,
Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena, Maria
Conception and an infant child. They
had been rudely hustled from their
homes at the dead of night on an ex-
traordinary charge preferred by the
auxiliary town judge that their lives
were an evil in the sight of God and
that they were enemies of the faith and
heretics whom God had ordered.
through his holy saint, to be consumed
| by fire.
The auxiliary judge related this with
| the utmost sangfroid to the authorities
He added that God wrought astonish-
| ing miracles to confirm what the saint
| had told him in vision.
Said the Judge: II obeyed the divine
| command and ordered out my consta-
| bles, and we took these sinners from
| their beds and dragged them in the
darkness of night, weeping and wall
ing, to the jail. When they were locked
securely in I ordered constables to sci
the building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made, al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities.
The prisoners, securely bound around
the arms and chained together, were
marched to Mollange, where judicia
investigation will take place. Th'
whole population of Texacapa appear:
to have gone mad. All believe the aux
iliary judge was commissioned by th'
Almighty and the saints to destroy thu
evildoers. They point to pile of bones
on which they profess to see miracu
lously traced outline forms Of thu
saints, who, on advising the Judge tt
burn the heretics, left their images.
The community is nothing but al
open-air madhouse.

ALSO A CHECK FOR So, 500
Now There Is Trouble About the
Payment of the Paper-Phil J.
Harrington Asks the Court
to Decide the Dispute

BUTTE, Feb. 23.--For several days n no.
tice has been running in the STANDARD,
warning all persons not to receive or pay
"a certain check for $500 issued by the
Butte d Boston Mining company and
made payable TO John a. Leggat. The
notice was published by Mr.. l. Egat, who
claimed shat the check was fraudulently
gotten from him.
To-day Pail j. Harrington, through his
attorney, John W. Cotter, commenced an
action in the district court against the
Butte & Boston, John A. Leggat and John
Wcart Tor the $500 due on the check.
Harrington alleges that the check was is
sued on the First National bank on Feb.
Is, and made payable to Mr.. Leggat or or
der. On Feb. 16 it was endorsed in
blank by Mr.. Leggat to John
Weart, who in turn, endorsed il and trans
ferred it to Harrington for value. The
latter presented the check for payment at
the bank, but Leggat had stopped pay
ment on il and Harrington asks for judg-
ment for the full amount against tho
three defendants.
1t appears that Mr.. Leggat, after he Sc
cured the check. got entangled In n game
of poker with Weart, and the result was
that he and tho $500 peco of paper soon
parted company. When Mr.. Leggat hal
time to think about his loss he went
around TO the bank aud stopped payment,
and il is said, secured another check from
the Butte q Boston.

the old-fashioned type, which always

cause it is a gift from n much beloved

running ahead of time. In my own city,

five minutes in every "a hours. This is
noticeable, because it means nearly two
hours n month. have way of letting it
run for n length of time, say six months,
so that il regulates itself practically
in that time. 1t manages to make about
II hours, and when a timepiece is that
much ahead of, or behind, time il is just
as good as if it were perfect. A short
while ago was compelled to visit Pnila-

in your city. | have u theory upon the

n man have more or less effect upon a
watch. Now, almost every man readily
falls into the ways and gait of his fell

man likes to be five minutes ahead of
time. In Philadelphia every ono says,
We'll there's no hurry five minutes be-
hind time will make no Il ference, and
from tins follows that slow, easy gait
which is the most striking characteristic
of the Quaker city. II would seem the

black Jews, the smallest contingent
of his realm, came to his assistance.
The sages of their tribo sent some men
TO steal from the Netherlanders the great
bell which tolled in the vicinity of the
rajah's quarters. The rajah smIlingly lis
tened 10 the proposition, scarcely believ-
ing that any good result could emlnate
therefrom, Notwithstanding he accepted
their plan. The Jews, as already stated,
we're provision dealers, and the Holland
ers who inte;dicted all approach to their
Notifications, permitted them 10 enter
freely. During the night the black Jews
succeeded in smuggling in in a basket n
smart Jewish boy. He was provided with
"A thick rope, one end of which he fast
ened TO the bell, throwing the other
end over the wall on the outside of which
his confcderates awaited him. He next
covered the clapper of the bell with cloth
and cut the cord by which the bel was
suspended. The bell was thus brought
over the wall with much labor and placed
In boat, which they brought with great
joy to the rajah. 1t is possible that tho

The Sad Fate OF fcn Negroes In
Georgia.
WAYCRoss, Ca, Feb. GA report from
Shirley says that 10 negroes were drowned
in the SatIlla river at the bridge of the
Florida Central q Peninsula railroad. The
negroes were raftsmen and were on a raft
OF cypress timber, when they became al
most frozen. Their faces, hands and feet
we're irost-bitten and their limbs were so
benumbed that they we're powerless in
steering the raft. The freshet had reached
the highest mark and the raft became I'M
manageable. The negroes were weak and
hungry and could not stand up. Finally
thoy grew desperate and rolled off the
raft into the river and tried to reach the
shore. They were unable to swim, SO
benumbed and frozen were their arms
and legs. Their bodies have been found.
