LAST OF THE GANG.
Recapture Of william Taylor, One
Of the Brighton Robbers.


Sheriff Johnson received a dispatch
last evening from the Chief Of Police
of San Jose to the effect that William
Taylor. alias George Kinkaid, the foot
pad who escaped from Jail here last
September with ]. E. Burke, one of his
pals, was under arrest there for some
petty offense. Chief Kidward will bring
the prisoner here
All four Of the thugs who robbed a
couple of japanese hop-pickers on the
road near Brighton junction one night
last August are now accounted for.
Through the effective work Of County
Detective Max P. Fisher, Carl Rolf
and John E. Burke have been sent to
the State Prison for twenty-five years
each. So strong was the chain. Of tes-
timony forged about them that they
saw it was useless to go to trial, and
pleaded guilty.
Taylor, before his escape from Jail
here, had also made a confession of
guilt to the Sheriff and District Attor-
ney. and now that he has been recap
tured it is likely he will plead guilty
and take his medicine.
Joe Martin, alias John Burns. alias
Curly Kid" is awaiting trial. He re-
fused to plead guilty, and seems to
think he may stand a chance of escap-
ing conviction by jury, but will doubt
less realize his error later on.
Taylor was captured by Chief KID
ward. while trying to dispose of har-
ness which he had stolen. He is an
ex-convict. having been discharged
from Folsom last August for a burglary
committed in Fresno County.

HIS FIRST LESSON.
Capt. Howell Tells of His Surprise
That Northeruers Gould Fight.

Captain E. P. Howell of Atlanta, who
is serving on the Alger Relief Commis-
sion, is adding to his already well-es-
tablished reputation as a story-teller.
Whenever the investigation lags, which
has been pretty often up to date, ow-
ing, no doubt, to the many pressing
business engagements of a private
character of Chairman Dodge and other
members of the board, Captain Howell
comes to the rescue and relieves the
monotony Of the session of the COM
mission with a story. The following
is the gist of story told by Howell
to former Governor Woodbury. of YER
mont. Woodbury. and Howell have be-
come fast friends since they met to-
gether on common grounds in relief
work. Woodbury. was Union
soldier, and left an arm somewhere In
the South. Howell served throughout
the war in the Confederate ranks.
There used to be a time" Captain
Howell went on to say, addressing his
remarks for the most part to his friend
Woodbury., when / labored under the
impression that one well-equipped
Southern man could whip half dozen
Yankees with one OF his hands tied be-
hind him.. without half trying. That
was just before the war, and don't you
know it was the general impression that
existed throughout the South at that
time? If our people had only known
the truth perhaps things might have
been different-our men would not have
been so eager for a scrap. But am
not going to moralize, but relate to you
a little experience that came under my
personal observation. A short time be-
fore Sumter was fired upon, a strong
lunged man appeared in our locality-no
one knew from just where, and no one
stopped to inquire. SO far as / know
who would be designated to-day as a
professional agitator, walking delegate
or something of that kind. He let him.
self loose every night in the Courthouse
square to an enthusiastic crowd of men
and boys. The burden of his talk was
that the Southern people were the
brayest and best people upon the face
Of the earth. Every mothers son of
us knew how to ride and shoot, and
there was not the slightest doubt about
it-one Southern man could put a
whole regiment of Yankees to fight.

A Singing Well In Texas.

About three miles west of Cedar
Bayou, Harris County, is remarkable
well. When it was dug no one can tell,
but it has been in existence for more
than sixty years. The we'll is known
as the Singing Well"
In calm, fine weather a sound like
that of an Eolian harp comes upward
between the tangles of vines below. AT
times the sound seems nearer and
clearer, then again it recedes, as if
family These changes take place
every few minutes, and with great reg
ularity.
With an east wind blowing. the water
In the we'll gets very low, and the mys-
terious musical sound very faint. A
strong west wind causes the water to
rise. and the sound to increase in vol
ume and clearness.
But 1t is just before great norther
that the old we'll plays it's widest
pranks. Then for several hours, the
water rises TO within a few feet Of the
top of the well, and emits the wierdest,
widest noises that ever reached human
ears. AT such times even the water
drawn out with buckets means and
walls as if in anguish.
The well is about sixty feet deep. A
few years ago the land on which it is
located was bought by Mr.. Watkins,
who, not liking the sounds that came
from the well, employed two men to fill
it up. They shoveled dirt into the well
two weeks, but it did not affect the
depth Of the water perceptibly, and
they threw up the contract. From the
measurements of the excavations they
had made it has been calculated that
the we'll should have been filled UP a
little more than twice.
The water is very clear. with blush
tint. and is fairly palatable. No other
wells in the neighborhood show such
franks as are played by the Singing
Well."-Fort Worth (Tex) correspond

BURGLARS STILL AT WORK.
THE SAFE OF ALBERT ELKUS
ATTACKED.
A Residence Entered Last Evening,
But Nothing Taken So Far
as Known.

The discovery was made yesterday
morning that burglars had entered the
clothing and furnishing store of AL
bert Elkus, opposite the Plaza, on
street, on Saturday night. They We're
evidently frightened away before they
succeeded in breaking open the safe.
The crooks mounted a flight of stairs
at the rear of the building, and from
the landing stepped to window sill
near by. The. window was barred, but
the burglars pried and broke out a
brick which held a bar, and after the
iron was disposed Of the rest was easy.
Once inside, the thieves attacked
the safe, which cannot be seen from
the street. They took a vest from a
counter, wrapped the combination lock
in it, and then broke the lock with a
sledgehammer or other heavy instru-
ment The handle of the safe door
was also broken off, and punch used
judiciously for a half-minute would
have opened the door.
From some unknown cause, however,
the thieves desisted. They had, prob
ably before attacking the safe, gone
into the lower story Of the building
and unfastened a rear entrance door,
Mr.. Elkus yesterday stated that
there was no money in the safe when
the raid was made, and that. had the
thieves succeeded in opening it, they
would have found dry picking among
the ledgers contained therein.
On the upper story Mr. Elkus had,
before closing his place of business,
laid out S. in change, but this was
not touched. 1t is believed the thieves
did not ascend to the third story
A grip belonging to an outside party
was sitting on the basement floor near
the rear entrance, and this was slit
open and the contents scattered about.
AS no clothing or other articles were
1t seems evident that the thieves
taken, 1t seems evident that the
thieves were looking only for coin of
the realm.
In the basement room was found the
Ratchet used by the thieves in break
ing open the window

A RESIDENCE ENTERED.
While Louis Wagner and family
were absent from their home at 141S
Thirteenth street last evening the
house was entered by burglar. but a
hasty examination failed to show that
anything was taken.
It is possible the burglar was fright
ened off by the return of the family
from church. He had taken the pre-
caution. after entering by the rear, to
plug the keyhole of the front door so
that he could not be taken by sur
prise, and it is supposed that he heard
them at the door and decamped.

New York Tribune: A trial was made
in London recently of an automatic
judging machine for cycle racing. Five
brass bars rest in a small trench which
crosses the track at the winning post.
Until the last lap of a race the bars
are below the level Of the track, but
when this stage is reached they are put
into position, and stand up above the
surface five-eighths of an inch. With
these five bars in working order, there
can be no question as to the position of
five riders in the closest finish, as the
first bar falls directly it is touched by
the front wheel of the first rider, and
the others go down in turn Immediately
they are touched A similar machine
was tried here last season, but it did
not meet with much success.
A number of bicycles seen on the
roads recently are fitted with wide ham
die bars, but it will hardly strike the
popular fancy, they having been used
some years ago. A fairly wide handle
bar is good for road riding, as it gives
more leverage. With the low frames
now being used, however, an average
sized person can hardly maintain an
erect position. A rider on a low-frame
wheel with the wide handle bars has
the spread-eagle appearance, and this
is fully as ridiculous as the bumped
position of some riders who use the
narrow low-drop handle bars.
1t looks as though the question of
long cranks will attract considerably
more attention next year than for some
time past. A test was made recently
with a wheel geared to 80 and fitted
with nine-inch cranks, and is reported
to have been a success, number or
hills being climbed with greater ease
than usual.
This is the season of the year when q
rider must pay PARTICULAR care to keep
the chain in good condition. A clot Of
mud dropping on the inside Of the chain
and working into the teeth Of the
sprocket wheel will render useless all
the cleaning and lubricating that has
been done to the chain. A careful rider
