ATTACK ON THE
ORDINANCES
A New Turn in the Flynn Stone wall
suit.
WlDLINGER'S SWEEPING CHARGE.
BE Says All Ordinances Not Certified to as
Having Been Published Are Of No
Rfect--Famous Mahanoy city
Case Recalled.

The injunction suit of Anthony Flynn
against the Borough Of Shenandoah, in
which Mr.. Flynn seeks to restrain the bor-
ough from tearing down a stone wall he
erected across a creek in the First ward, was
an attraction at the Council chamber to-day
aud many citizens were present to hear the
testimony.
Burough Solicitor J. II. Pomeroy and A. w.
Schalck, Esq, Of Pottsville put in their final
installment Of evidence and in doing so
brought out an attack by Mr. Flynn's counsel,
George J. Wadlinger, ESQ, of Pottsville,
that will set many people thinking seriously.
la closing their case Messrs Schalck and
Pomeroy introduced one of the borough
ordinances. Mr.. Wadlinger objected
to the introduction on the ground that the
original ordinances were the best evidence.
To meet this Messrs. Schalck and POmeroy
called w. J. Watkins the secretary of the
Borough Council, to the witness stand, and he
produced the original ordinances. The
special ordinance sought to be introduced
was that passed in 1888, referring to permits
for opening the streets.
At this point Mr.. Wadlinger objected to the
introduction on the ground that there was
nothing in the ordinance book to show that
the ordinance referred to had been duly pub
lished and advertised in accordance with
law Mr.. Wadlinger made the sweeping
statement that thore was not an ordinance of
the borough that could be sustained in law.
The point raised will be argued in court.
/ 1t is important in view of the result of a suit
lost by the borough of Mahanoy City about
/ eight years ago. The latter borough brought
suit to abate a nuisance at the Wadlinger
slaughter house and lost the suit because it
was shown that there was nothing in the
ordinance book to show that the ordinance
had been duly published as required by law.
The result was that the borough of Mahanoy
City was obliged to re-adopt and re-publish
all of its ordinances

Key West, Fla, Feb. 13.-Major Luis
Lorau captured a Spanish convoy train
near Artemisa, province of Pinar del
Rio, last Monday and so prisoners
without the loss of man. Hearing that
the train was on the way he mined
the roadbed and as the train came up
exploded the mine, blowing up the en-
gine and the armored car and three
passenger cars.
AS the wrecked train rolled down the
embankment his troops poured in a
hot fire, and the frightened Spanish
soldiers Immediately hung out the
white flag. Sixteen were killed in the
wreck, including the engineer and fire.
man and two Spanish officers. The
Spanish troops were so demoralized
that they did not fire a dozen shots at
the Cubans. Among the prisoners was
the notorious guerilla, Captain MAJ
retto, who is accused of numbering
over hundred pacihcOs in that prov
ince. As soon as Lorau's men saw
him they seized him, and, despite their
officers commands, literally hacked
him to pieces. The other prisoners
were released the next day and sent
to Artemisa. In the train We're the
needed provisions and some arms.

panying It--sixteen People
Killed in the Wreck.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 13.-An Inn
portant Cuban letter graphically de-
picting the situation on the island
was received in the city yesterday.
The letter came to Paul Rojo, who is
well known as being prominent in
Cuban circles, but the name Of the
author further than that he is a Gu
ban occupying a high position in Ha-
vana, is withheld for reasons that are
apparSlt. 1t may be stated however,
that the letter is of a scmi-odicial ma
ture, and it is important for that
reason. 1t says:
after dreams of peace through the
reforms the terrible reality has come,
because it has been found from differ
ent sources that President Cisneros
and General Gomez are thoroughly op-
posed to coming to any agreement that
is not based upon the independence Of
Cuba.
Naturally, for myself and all OF
those people who have something to
lose, things look very gloomy, as the
only hope for us now is the interven-
tion Of the United States, which would
come like a blessing from God If this
shall not be done then / think, and
already hear some talk, that the three
parties on the island, the Autonomists
Conservative and Reformists, win
come together and decide the future
Of the country, because the soldiers
viii never think of peace when the war
Is their sole basis Of ambition.
"I 90 not think that it viii be long
before the evacuation Of Cuba by the
Spanish troops will become a reality.
The reason / think this is that General
Weyler has destroyed everything in his
path through the provinces Of Matan-
zas and Havana, and now he is finish
ing what he left in Las Villas district
If the parties shall not come together
and take energetic measures to settle
the struggle, then only God can save
Cuba.
Every day in Havana we hear the
shots that tell of executions, and we
have come to lose our pity. If this ter
rible war shall continue Cuba will not
only be materially ruined, but morally
as we'll The people win lose all of their
natural feelings, and everybody viii be-
come Indifferent to cruelty"
