Lancaster's New Railroad.

Tho work of widening tho gauge
of tho Lancaster 6 Chester Rail
way is moving rapidly forward.
On Monday last tracs laying was
begun ut the Chester end, and at
this time there has been laid ahsut
10 miles of 60 pound steel rail.
This new track is being put down
in eXcsllsnt shape, and when tho
work is completed this will be one
of tho hest pieces Of road in the
country. The track laying should
reach Lancaster about the middle
of Decem ber. The new steel
bridge across Fishing Creek is
nearing completion, and is one
Of the best structures ON any line
Of road in the State. The two
new steel bridges across Hospsr's
and McDanisl's Creeks are also
under Roadway and will he com
pletsd in about 80 days. The
work of putting in tiIing and fill.
ing ia all the small water ways is
also nnder way, which will do
away with 4 lot of small trestls
work, and thereby make q much
better road"bsd than there has
heretofore been. All of the new
trsstlss are being constructed frsm
the ground with heavy new tim
bers, and the road will virtually be
new in every respect. 1t is the
pIrposs of the company to rock
ballast the road from one end to
the other so soon as it is possible
to do so. When the work of
widening this road is completed,
it will then offer Lancaster the
very best freight and passenger
facilities, which heretofore has
not been afforded. We are also
informed from reliable source
that this read will operate excel
lent schedules, and it is very
likely that all trains will carry
mail, which will also be- to
the interest of Lancaster and
inter mediate points. The new
equipment of the line has bsss
purchased which will bs of the
very best, and Lancaster may we'll
b proud of the efforts of the
progressive officials of this line
for the many advantages which
We may say this line will afford.

GAME KILLING.
Denver Times Sees Danger in Allowing
Indians Latitude.

Denver Times Sees Danger in Allowing
Indians Latitude.
There is curious disposition among
the people to make sport of Gov.
Thomas crusade against the Indians
who are said to be killing game out
side their reservation and within the
boundaries of this state. That it has
a comic side is probably not to be de-
MED. But it may also have a very
serious side. The border country has
not had any Indian experiences of
late, and the American people show
an astonishing facility in forgetting
unpleasant things. Those who know
anything about the Indian know that
the kind of movement now begun may
very easily incite him to acts which
will have very serious significance to
outlying settlers and possibly small
villages. The Indians know as we'll
as Gov. Thomas does that the federal
power is not behind this movement
They rarely forego a chance for i'm
mediate revenge because of the pos
sibility Of remote reprisal. That the
state can prevail in the end nobody
doubts, perhaps, but aside from the
harvest of trouble and loss of life we
may have to reap, citizens are also
looking to the harvest of debt that
must follow, though we are now at our
wits end to devise means for paying
what we already owe. Some of them
are inclined to suspect the governor of
a kind of "after us, the deluge" policy.

GLADLY gone! She who had been the

| All was in vain!
Nothing more can be done until the

as he strobe into the still gayly lighted
hall. and stamped the hard iced snow
off his boots.
His face was gray, and a strange
look of age had crept owed it, which
made 1T startlingly like that of his
mother.
Lady Jane, worn out and spent,
crouched down beside the great yule-
log, that cracked and roared, the only
CHEEKY thing around.
She and Gervis gazed blankly at each
other. What had they done, the two
were asking one another silently, that
this disgrace should have come to
shame them?
Can anybody tell me who saw or
spoke with my wife last?"
There was a catch in the young
husbands voice as he put the question
to the circle of anxious-eyed searchers

whereas the modern Partisan footpad
does his best in nine cases out of ten
to murder his victim either before or
after he has robbed him The un-
speakable ferocity of the Partisan ruff
ian is. perhaps, the uglest feature of
the situation. He is seldom or never
content With merely easing the "pante'
OF his property. His usual mode of
proceeding is to begin by half killing
his prey as the readiest way Of pre-
venting anything in the nature of re-
slstance. Revolvers, knives, bludgeons,
"os de mouton' and knackle busters
do their work effectually before there
is any question of securing the booty.
| lime after time it is the same old tale
The police come up either attracted by
the scufiie, or long afterward, on their
beat, to find a.i unfortunate creature
lying in a pool of blood. dead or in
desperate straits But there have been
innumerable examples of late of vio-
lence being resorted to solely with a
view of satisfying the most fiendish
instincts of cruelty. On the whole, the
police do what they can, but there are
far too few of them. Even when they
catch their quarry red-handed, which
is the exception, as their rounds are
few and far between, they are usually
outnumbered and outarmed Instances
are common of their showing great
bravery, but, as a rule, the best that
happens is that they capture one or
two of the ruffians, while the others
make good their escape. Fortunately,
the detectives supplement their efforts
to excellent purpose. When one or two
members of a gang are arrested their
accomplices are generally run to
ground before long. The trouble is
that the supply of desperadoes seems
to be inexhaustible. One band is no
sooner rnder lock and key than an
other is rivalling it's exploits.
