Police Judge Who Fined Himself.

Police Judge Who Fined Himself.
Alexander Laidlaw, whose name was
once In every paper In the land as the
Judge who fined himself. died In Wal
deck sanitarium, San Francisco, the
other day. from the effects Of a sur,
gical operation. Laidlaw In his young
or days was a hail fellow well met
with band of as merry fellows as
ever laughed away the hours of tho
night. He studied law and afterward
was elected police Judge In Oakland.
His occasional bibulous escapades be-
came the talk of the town and attract
ed newspaper notice.
After an unusually boisterous out
burst there was an editorial comment
In the Tribune referring to the pecu-
liar position Of a Judge on the bench
who was called upon to sentence men
for drunkenness when he himself
should be In the dock.
The next morning, after the calendar
in his court had been gone through.
Judge Laidlaw looked down at the
clerk and said:
"You will make this entry on your
calendar: Alexander Laidlaw, drunk
enness.'"
YES" said the astonished clerk.
ARRESTED by himself" the Judge
went on.

At once the country rang with hil

Alexander Laidlow drank no more. A

him from his position on the bench
and Ne removed to San Francisco. Here
he entered upon the practice of law
with fair success.

KEY WEST, Fla, March 19.-Passen-

Sastra, two Cubans employed by the
Spanish government to betray Maceo,
left Havana few days ago, going to
the sugar plantations, where they
caused an uprising among the Cuban
sympathizers.
They were met by Gen. Anguire, who
discovered their mission and promptly
hanged them. Victoria Noreinero,

TWO OFFICERS
Wounded and a Train RObber
Instantly Killed.
An Attempt to Hold up Train in
California is Baffled.
One of the Wounded Omcers May Die-The
Plans to Rob the Train Were Well
Laid but One of the Desperadoes
Betrayed His Partners.

TULARE, CAL, March 1.-TWO Off
GERS were shot and train robber
named Daniel McCole was killed in an,
attempt to hold up the south-bound
New Orleans express here at 3 o'clock
Thursday morning. The attempted
robbery was one of the most daring
that has taken place in California
and probably would have succeeded
if it had not been for the perfdy of
one of the robbers. Wednesday, night
the officers in this city were in
formed that an attempt would be made
early this morning to hold up the Sun
net Limited. The man who gave the
information gave the details of the plot
and said that at first he intended to
take part in the robbery. Under Sher-
iff Earl Dagget and Constable Reed,
armed with shotguns went TO the place
where the robbery was to take place
and awaited the approach of the rob-
bers. The robbers changed their
plans, however, and decided to hold up
the New Orleans express. Three ban
dts boarded the train at Selma, two
climbing on the rear of the baggage
car, and the other one on the tender.
AS the train pulled out of Goshen the
robber who had betrayed his COM
panions left the train without their
knowing it, rushed into the telegraph
Office and told the operator to tell the
sheriff's party here that the robbers
had changed their plans. The officers
fastened back to meet the train and
boarded the engine at Tagus. The rob-
bers did not intend to make their pres
ence known until after the train had
pulled out from the station, but the
officers saw the men and opened fire.
The bandits returned the volley and
Sheriff Daggett was shot through the
lungs, sustaining wound that will
probably prove fatal. Constable Reed
was shot in the shoulder. McCole, who
is believed to be one of the Dalton
gang, was killed. The other robber
escaped

PUTS II A PLEA AGAINST SILVER

Declares He Cannot Believe the Chicago
Csnventioa WIN Indsrss Free Coinage.
and Gives the Reasons for Hi Inered-
estity-Calls On the '-soand Money" Men
% Destir Themselves. and Only Wants .
Place In the Ranks Himself
WASHINGTON, June 16.-In reply to q re-
quest from the New York Herald for q
statement concerning the Democratic sit
uation President Cleveland last night sent
the following to that newspaper:
II have made no figures as to the proba-
BILE action Of delegates already chosen or
to be chosen to the Democratic national
convention, but refuse to believe that
when the time arrives for deliberate &C
ton there will be engrafted upon our
Democratic creed demand for the free,
unlimited and independent coinage Of sill
yer.
Reason for His Incredulity.
II cannot believe this because know
the Democratic party Is neither unpatri-
otto nor foolish, and because 1t seems so
clear to me that such course will infiict
very great injury upon every interest Of
our country which 1t has been the mission
Of Democracy to ad vance, and will result
in lasting disaster to our party organize
ton. There is little hope that as means
Of success this free silver proposition, after
its thorough discussion during political
campaign, will attract n majority Of the
voters Of the country. 1t must be that
many Of the illusions influencing those
now relying upon this alleged panacea for
their ills will be dispelled before the time
comes for them to cast the ballots which
will express their sober second thought
"Sound Money" Democrats should Work.
1.-THE adoption by the Democracy of this
proposition would, believe, give to our
opponents an advantage both in the
present and future which they do not de-
serve. My attachment to true Democracy
Is SO strong that 1 consider its success as
identical with the promotion Of the coun-
try's good. This ought sufficiently to ac-
count for my anxiety that no mistake be
made at our party convention. In my
opinion no effort should he spared to Sc
cure such action of the delegates as will
avert party decentralization. 1t is a place
for consultation and comparison Of views:
and those Democrats who believe in the
cause Of sound money should there be
heard and be constantly in evidence. A
cause worth fighting for is worth fighting
for to the end. II sound money Democrats
suppose there is danger of a mistake being
made such danger should stimulate theil
activity in averting it instead Of creating
encouragement.
Only Wants . Private's Place.
Il am very far from arrogating to my
self a controlling influence upon the policy
Of my party; but as an unflinching Demo
crnt, who has been honored by his party
and who desires hereafter no greater polit
ical privileges than to occupy the place Of
private In Its ranks, hope may not bt
blamed for saying thus much at this time
In the interest, as it seems to me, of the
grand old organization, so rich in honor
able traditions. SO justly proud of its
achievements, and always 10 undaunted
and brave In its battles for the people
welfare
