Fleeth Without a Pursuer.

The truthfulness OF the scriptural
statement, "the wicked fee when no
man pursueth," was verified at Davis,
West Va, last week when Sheriff
Burns was in that town on his chase
after the horse thieves. Sheriff was
sitting in front of a hotel when he saw
a man from this section, whom he was
acquainted with, walking up the other
side Of the street. Sheriff said,
"hello!" waved his hand and got up to
cross the street to talk with him, but
the man said, "Oh no, you don't" and
ran down the street as fast as he could
go. The sheriff don't even know what
offense the fellow is guilty Of.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 26-Advices

raj Of the Philippines, a brief reference
TO which has been made through official
sources at Madrid. The edict is so severe
I'm its treatment Of all enemies of the
Imperial Government that the manifesto
of Weyler seems mild in comparison.
Taken as a whole, It appears as an OFF,
cial confession of the untruth of the
frequent announcements from the govern
ment at Madrid that the Philippine in
surrection had been quelled.
The edict begins with revocation Of
ali passes heretofore issued and the
establishment Of a military trocha. Pro-
perty belonging to persons connected with
the rebellion, or any property belonging
TO the rebels. is declared forfeited, and
seized for the Spanish army.
The families of individuals who are in
corporated with the rebel party must go
TO join them or fix their residence under
the watchfulness OF the authorities. For
the purpose Of this order the families of
rebels consists of their wives, children,
parents, brothers, brothers-in-law, and
cousins.
