By Highwaymen.

John Argond, of No. I7t
Brick Street, New York city
lies on a cot in the Delaware
Hospital in a critical condition
as a result Of rough trcatmen'
at the hands Of highway rob.
bcrs.
Argond was riding OH a speci.
al freight train that passed
through this city over the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad at III :
o'clock last Saturday evening.
When the train reached the
East Junction, near Elsmere,
three men, who were riding On
he train, also, grabbed hold OF
him While TWO of them held
his hands the third one went
through his pockets and took
A1gond's watch and chain and
pocket book, containing a large
sum of money. When they had
obtained the articles mentioned
they threw Argond off the train.
The man landed on his side
and his head struck ore of the
cross ties. Some Of the railroad
employees who were III the vicin-
lty at the time heard the mans
cries for help and went to his
assistance. They found the
man i'll state Of collapse and
bleeding freely about the head
and face. The injured man was
placed aboard shifting engine
and then taken to the Delaware
avenue station. BY the time lie
arrived there DR.. John Palmer
was summoned, and he ordered
the removal of the man to the
Delaware Hospital. The phH
nix ain bulanCe was called and
the injured man was taken to
the hospital.
When he was received at that
institution it was feared that he
was about to die. An examina-
ton showed that the mans head
was cut and bruised in several
places. The attending physi-
ans could not tell whether the
injuries would result fatally or
not.
As soon AS the railroad men
reached the Delaware avenne
station they telegraphed to New
ark, and by the time the height
train reached that station the
town WatChman and a posse Of
citizens were in waiting. As
soon as the train stopped the
three men jumped of, and started
OH a run down the road. They
we're given a lively chase for
half a mile, but were captured
AS they ran along the road they
dropped several bundles.
Detective McVey had been in
formed of the robbery and att
tempted murder and was making
an investigation. When in
formed that the men had been
arrested he notified the Newark
people to take the men before
Magistrate Medill, who held
them on a charge Of highway
robbery and assault and battery
with intent to commit murder.
Detectives McVey and Witsil
and Sergeants Evans and Bayley
went to Newark Sunday morn>
ing and carried the men to Wills
mington in order that Argond
might identify them.
One Of the men arrested will
be used as a witness.

London Mail; A correspondent
sends to the Daily Mail the following
story Of an incident which happened
some twenty years ago in Toronto:
Colonel Ingersoll, the celebrated inf
del orator, was delivering a lecture in
the theater on a Sunday night. The
house, of course, was crammed, and he
went on with his clever and humorous
speech till he gave utterance to some
particularly blasphemous comments,
which proved too offensive for his au-
dience. In the midst of his brilliant
speech fine voice in the gallery rang
out in the well-known hymn, Hold
the Fort, for | Am Coming" Instantly
the words were taken up by others I'M
til the whole concourse Joined in, and
Colonel Ingersoll had to retreat is-
ANONYMOUSLY, without being allowed to
utter another word.

Carriages are but little seen at night.
The native driver of public vehicle is
not allowed out any more than a pc
destrian would be. Hence there Is no
carriage to be had, unless you are the
owner or lessee Of private rig, and
even then you must be either official
or sufficiently near so to be privileged
to pass your driver by the sentry.
Moreover, every time you are halted
in carriage you must leave the car
riage and advance on foot for inspec-
tion and question. Over in the San
Nicholas district, around the port, the
a carriage is more tiresome by far than
walking. Every little interval covered
necessitates another halt, explanations.

again, about as fast as you can enter
the carriage and alight. There is no
pleasure in a night ride through the
crowded parts of Manila But the end
justifies the means. There are no ma

one. No city in the world is as safe
by night as Manila. Deserted and
