give express notice to the contrary
/ are considered wishing to continue
their subscription. f
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance Of their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.

continued.
4. Subscribers moving to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsihle.
B. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
6. Ifsubscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to

Z. rThelatest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take a paper

time unpaid. and then orders the
postmaster to mark it arefused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar.
rest and fine, the same as for theft.

The two highwaymen who held up
the o. r. & N. train were arrested
within 10 hours of the hold-up, and are
securely lodged in the city Jail. The
bungling clumsiness with which thew
conducted the robbery characterized
their movements from the time they
laid their first plans.
They were arrested in lodging house
on Seventh and Oak streets, where thew
took up their quarters on arriving in
the city, and whence they returned
after their crime. They give the pre-
sumably fictitious names of George
jackson and Charles Williams. No
lives were lost in the capture, nor was
any time wasted. The men when ar
rested gave every evidence of being des-
perate characters, but before use could
be made OF their numerous weapons,
the two We're covered with revolvers,
precluding any attempt at resistance.
jackson and Williams, the former
being about 90 years of age and the
latter not more than 32, came to this
city Wednesday, ON the California
steamer, stopping the first night in a
hotel, and the next day taking room
in the lodging house at SO Seventh
street. In their room, when captured.
We're found two fine double harreled
shot'guns, bearing evidence OF having
been recently fired, and two large re.
volvers. Some time prior to Saturday
night the housemaid, in cleaning their
room, observed fair-sized packet,
marked Handle with care" Satur.
day night this disappeared from their
room, and found near where the train
was held up, containing 10 sticks of a
heavy high explosive, designated as
Hercules, No. /, powder.
The two men also went to livery
stable Sunday, took horse and single
buggy at about o'clock, and did not
return it until IL O'Clock, that night.
In this buggy was found next morning
purse that Engineer c. II. Evans
identified rs being the one taken from
him by the highwaymen at the time of
the hold-up. In the purse was ass
gold piece, which it also contained at
the time OF its departure from Mr..
Evans, but he is unable to identify the
piece OF money as the one he possessed
The story of their capture is brief
yet reveals careful and efficient work
by the officers, and determined effort

to bring the desperadoes to justice.

No UItimatum Was Served.

New York, Sept. 27.-A special to
the Herald from London says: In
reference to the sensational telegrams
from Madrid about the alleged ulti-
matum and inevitability OF war between
the United States and Spain, the
Herald correspondent had a conversa-
tion with distinguished American
diplomat, who, though not personally
concerned in the American-Sp nish ne
gotiations, is in position to know the
exact state of affairs, but who, for OBJ
vious reasons would not allow his name
to be mentioned. He said:
Il cannot, of course, pledge in ad-
vance the government of the United
States, but SO far as the present is con-
cerned such step is not in contempla-
tion. The United States has probably
intimated through Mr.. Woodford that
the present state of affairs is most de-
plorable and that if we could be of any
assistance in bringing this condition
OF things to an end we should be glad
to offer our services But you NAV saw
absolutely that no ultimatum has been
sent to Spain by the United States"

FIREMEN TO THE RESCUE.
An Attempt to Burn n New Orleans
School Frustrated.

School Frustrated.
New Orleans, Sept. 27.-Efficient
work by the fire department in the face
of the attack of mob enabled the de-
partment to save the main portion of
the Beauregard school building, which
was fired last night by rioters, who OBJ
jected to having the structure convert
ed into yellow fever hospital. Only
the annex and one end of the structure
were reduced to ashes.
After the mass meeting of citizens
held last night rIotous crowd gathered
around the building and openly threat
ened at the first opportunity that they
would fire it.
Throughout yesterday evening Sister
Agnes and number of other Sisters of
Charity, together with help from the
hospital, had been putting the building
in order for the reception of yellow
fever patients.
At nightfall Surgeon Bloom, of the
hospital, the sisters and others had
been warned that they had better leave
the building. They did so, and made
their way through dense crowd of
panic-stricken citizens. Then 2 small
force of police was ordered to the scene.
While the police were engaged in at
tempting to quell the riotous crowd in
front of the building, two incendiaries
with flve-gallon can of oil proceeded
to the rear and quickly had the build
ing in flames.
An alarm was turned in, but the first
neighboring engine had scarcely arrived
when the hose was cut. When other
engines arrived their hose was also de-
stroyed by the mob. Chief Caster
finally arrived with a squad of officers,
which beat the mob back.

Would Enrope Sustain us.

Washington, Sept. 27.-State depart
menJ officials refuse to discuss the
statement made in the cable disptach
from Madrid, namely, that the ccun-
tries of Europe, with the exception of
Austria, justify the interposition of the
United States in favor of a termination
of the Cuban war. Still, it is recalled
that while Mr.. Woodford was tarrying
in an apparently purposeless manner in
London and Paris, instead of proceed
ing to his post in Spain, it leaked out
that the United States ministers at
various European courts had been in
structed to sound the governments to
which they were accredited, with a
view to learning how intervention in
favor of Cuba would be regarded.
Although it was generally supposed
at the time that this effort would not
succeed, there is now good reason to ac-
cept the statement in the Madrid cable
as fully warranted by the facts.

EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
One Man Killed, Three Fatally and Six
Severely Injured.

A"J"AOu'
Marion, ILL.,, Sept. 27.-One man
was killed, three fatally injured, and
six severely burned and bruised by an
explosion of gas in the Williams county
coal mine today. An unknown miner
is still imprisoned in the shaft, and
was undoubtedly killed instantly. The
dead man is Frank Farrar, an Italian
miner, asphyxiated.
The injured are: G. Grieti, burned
by the explosion, will die; Peter Cas-
per, burned internally, will die; Joe
Barlow, driver boy, crushed about the
Lead, will die.
A shift of 45 men went down the
main shaft in the cage at 7 o'clock this
morning. They had proceeded only a
short distance up the main gangway
when the lamp on the leaders, cap ig-
nited large body of gas. A terrible
explosion resulted. Farrar and the un-
known miner were knocked down, the
latter being buried under a mass of
broken timbers and rocks. Those who
were able to crawl back to the foot of
the shaft signalled for the cage, which
had been blown to the surface by the
force of the explosion.
Rescuers descended, and soon all the
injured men were brought to the sur
face. Afterdamp followed the explo-
sion, and put stop to the search for
the body OF the unknown miner.

10 END The CUBAN WAR
Negotiations Opened Between
Washington and Madrid.
NO ULTlMATUM WAS SENT
The Present Negotiations Have for
Their Object a Peaceable solution
of the Cuban Question.

of the Cuban Question.
Madrid, Sept. 27.-The Correspon-
dencia de Espana asserts that negotia-
tions are proceeding between the
United States and Spain for friendly
settlement of affairs in Cuba.
Ell Epoca, after denouncing as "sen-
sational" the story of an ultimatum,
points out that the Cubans have not
been at war with Spain without the
moral and material cooperation OF the
American people.
There is great deal of comment as
to the origin of the ultimatum canard.
1t has been attributed to foreign am
bassador, but all the ambassadors deny
responsibility for it. The people do
not think that war is inevitable.
1t is asserted that the liberals will
soon form cabinet, and that on the
return of the queen from San Sebastian
to Madrid Captain-General Weyler will
be recalled from Cuba and autonomy
established in the island, thus leaving
no pretext for the intervention of the
United States.

o. r. & N. TRAIN HELD UP.


Portland, Or, Sept. 2S.-One of the
boldest attempts to hold up a train re-
ported here for years occurred Sunday
evening at 9:25 O'Clock on the o. r. &
n. track just five miles beyond the
city limits. While the regular East
ern train, No. 2, was leaving the city,
two masked men succeeded in stopping
the engine by some signal, and after
taking the enigneer and fireman into
the brush beside the track, robbed them
of their watches and about SIG in
money. The brakeman went forward
as soon as the train stopped, and taking
in the situation, crawled under the
mail car and opened fire on the rob-
bers, who got into the brush with their
two prisoners. Then he mounted the
cab, and, amidst a volley of pistol shots,
succeeded in backing the train out of
danger. No one was injured, and moth
ing was lost except what was taken
from the engineer and fireman while
their captors had them under guard in
the brush by the track.
Conductor Allison was made aware
of the trouble bv the slackened speed of
the train. The brakeman was ahead
of him in going forward, and had en-
gagged in the combat with the highway
men before he reached the upper end.
He was approaching the scene of the
shooting, carrying his lantern, when a
shot from one of the robbers broke the
globe. Realizing that something seri-
GUS was in progress, he retired hastily
to the interior of one of the coaches.
AS soon as the conductor found that the
train was backed far enough to be out
OF danger he had it stopped, and him
self armed, with the brakeman and
some of the passengers who could mus
ter tirearm, a hostile array was form
ed to receive the onslaught OF the high
waymen.
The attack T. / not come, however,
but instead of the robbers there came
walking down the track the engineer
and fireman. They were received with
joy, and told their story after it became
apparent that the robbers intended no
further demonstration against the pas
sengers.
When the train halted, the engineer
and fireman were covered by the revolv-
ers of the highwaymen and ordered to
get out of the cab. As the two had the
drop on the engineer and fireman, they
thought there was no other alternative,
and obeyed. As soon as they reached
the ground they were ordered in front
OF the engine short distance from
where it stood. Following the mandate
of the robbers, they walked in the direc-
tion indicated until ordered to stop.
Both were searched for valuables. From
the engineer gold watch and chain
were secured, and about 81 in money.
The fireman was also relieved of IS.
This accomplished, the two prisoners
were permitted to return down the
track to where the brakeman had run
the train, while the robbers took their
departure in another direction.
