WIN. BROWN, COL, who is said to hail
from our city, was arrested near West
Chester on Tuesday for attempting to hold
up Mrs. Chalkley Speakman with revol.
yer. His punishment should be sure and
swift, as only by this method can such
crimes be abated. The whipping post.
with the lashes we'll laid on, should DO tho
punishment inflicted on all men who hold
up defenceless women. This woman, for
tunately. was plucky one, and dared the
scoundrel to shoot, as no threatened, il she
did not give up $50 to him. The man is
now in West Chester jail.

pr tho past summer has been unusually
pleasant as we'll as unusually productive
pf fruits and flowers, as we'll as free from
disease and suffering. The earth has boon
uoistened by frequent showers and the
heat Of the sun has been dispelled by COOL

night comfortable and sleep not only pos :

A New Railroad, Maybe.

The Baltimore, Cincinnati and West
ern Railway Company fled last week,
in the Superior Court of Baltimore City
and in the Circuit Court of Baltimore
county, at Towson, a mortgage for
$l8,000,000, to secure the payment Of
$4,000 81 900 3 per cent gold bonds.
Several years ago this railway COM
pany was chartered in Maryland, Vir-
GINA, West Virginia and Ohio, and it
stated that its principal Offices were to
be in Baltimore. The charter of the
road provides for a line running
through Anne Arundel Howard, Fred
erick and Montgomery counties, Md;
Loudoun, Clarke and Frederick coun-
ties, in Virginia; Jefferson, Hamp-
shire, Hardy, Grant, Pendleton, Ran
dolph, Pocahontas, Webster, Braxton,
Nicholas, Clay, Kanawha, Putnam,
Cabell and Mason counties, West Vir-
GINA, and Gallila, Jackson, Pike, High
land, Brown, Clermont, Hamilton, Sci
oto and Adams counties, Ohio.
Messrs. Cans & Haman are the local
counsel for the company. 1t is said
that 400 miles of the road at the Gin
cinnati end has already been built,
but, because Of the business depression
of the past few years, no effort has
been made to push the project. 1t is
now thought that the bonds can be
foated and plans made for finishing
the line.

Additional discoveries Of valuable

Additional discoveries of valuable
deposits of pearls in lakes and rivers
of Arkansas have added greatly to the
excitement already existing over SIM
liar discoveries. Tuesday thousands of
people were wading through the water
in different parts of the State search
ing for the precious gems. The latest
discoveries have been made in the
Arkansas river and the creeks, lakes
and bayous near Little Rock, where
pearls have been picked up ranging in
value from $40 to $500 each. A re-
porter Of the Little Rock Gazette, who
has spent much time in investigating
the situation, says there are ffty-seven
streams in the State that are rich in
pearls of large size. 1t has now de-
veloped that in the course of a survey
made of the White river in 1895 S. 900
worth of pearls were collected by mem
bers of the survey. Pearls of from
thirty to fifty grains in weight are no
things to find in the pos
session of country lads, who fish for
them for pastime.
