Masked highwaymen are playing sad

Masked highwaymen are playing sad
havoc with the Chinese farmers just
now. Another one walked into camp at
Covina in the early hours yesterday, and
at the point of pistol made the Celes-
pistol, and then departed. Another man
in buggy was waiting close by, and in
this way N easy escape was made.
The Covina constable and Deputy
Sheriff AL White followed the trail short
ly after the event happened as far as
Bassett, but at that point the sprinkling
carts, as we'll as traffic, had spoiled the
trail, and the pursuit was given up.

Are Still Active.
Though for the past few days Gen
eral Weyler has been busily circulating
reports to the effect that the forces OF
Gomez have been reduced to mere
handful, and the insurrection is prac-
lically at an end, there is reason to
doubt the truth of these stories. A
dispatch from Havana, by way of Key
West, under date of April &c, describes
the situation in Cuba as follows:
The Cuban general, Mayia Rodri-
guez, is marching to invad the province
of Pinar del Rio with 5000 men. He
was seen yesterday between Batabano
and Guinez, near military line made
there by the Spaniards to prevent his
invasion of the western province. A
big battle is expected at any moment
if the Spaniards do not open their line
and let Rodriguez pass. Rodriguez is
acting under strict orders from Gomez
to make the war lively in the west of
the island while he harnesses the strong
Spanish columns in Santa Clara prov
ince.

mended by the county board of commits
sioners. The treasurer, of course, will &c
by the certified copy rather than the print.
ed act. Had the mistake not been dis
covered, considerable trouble would have
resulted and an additional levy would
have been necessary next year to make
up the deficiency.
Will Lead to Complications.
Members of the town council of York
vile have seen fit to grant to ladies the
privilege of riding bicycles on the side
walks, in the district in which bicycle
riding is prohibited, and some of the
ladies are availing themselves of that
privilege. While the idea of allowing
the ladies the free use of the sidewalk is
Just and proper, it is desired to call the
attention of the council to the fact that
the proper course to pursue is to make
the exception by amendment to the ordi-
nance. Let the matter be disposed OF
regularly. The members of the town
council, Notwithstanding pretty general
presumption to the contrary, have no
more right to violate the town ordinances
than have individuals, and they have no
power to confer such privileges upon

SAYS HE WAS KIDNAPPED.-Rev.
Jonas H. Price, a Dunkard preacher,
of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, who
had been missing from his home since
January last, says dispatch, reap
peared last Monday with remarkably
sensational tale.
Price says that he left his home in
Quakertown for Philadelphia, and after
transacting his business there, took a
train to return. On the train he met
a stranger who, after getting into con
versation, suddenly bound handker-
chief over his mouth and put handouts
on his wrists. He appealed to the
conductor. The stranger, however,
represented himself as all officer and
Price as a lunatic, and the conductor
decided not to interfere.
Next, Price says the stranger took
him to Georgia, put suit of convict
stripes on him, and then took him to
the phosphate mines in South Carolina,
where he worked in shackles until last
week, when he managed to make his
escape.
Price does not think, the dispatch
says, that his captors were associated
with the mine owners, hut is Of the
opinion that they are under contract
to furnish a certain number of labor
ers, and unable to get them otherwise,
resort to kidnapping. When he dis
appeared, his complexion was white
and his hands were tender. Now his
face is tanned and his hands are hard
and callous. There are also ugly
marks on his legs over his shoetops.
Though Rev. Mr.. Prices story is be-
lieved by his friends, there seems to
be great deal about it all that is more
or less unreasonable. 1t is likely that
the suggestion of the man in the train
10 the effect that Price is crazy, is
probobly true.
