TORN, and the bandits thought he car
ried a large sum Of money with him.
The hold-up took place about half
way between the two towns, but just
how the stage was attacked probably
never will be known, as all the passen-
gers and the driver were killed. They
were picked up the afternoon after the
tragedy and the circumstances give ev-
idence that they put up a fight. 1t is
thought by the Guayamas authorities
that the perpetrators of the deed were
some Of the bandits who have taken
refuge in the mountains back Of the
Yaqui river and were laying in wait
for Alverdo."
1T can be stated by authority, says
a Washington dispatch, that President
Roosevelt has not definitely made up
his mind to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of the 5Sth congress. He however,
is considering the practicability Of do
ing so. When he was informed that 1t
was the intention of the senate to so
amend the Cuban reciprocity treaty as
to render action upon it by the house
Of representatives necessary to make
it effective. he informed some members
of the senate that he would hold HIM
self free to call an extraordinary ses-
sion Of the congress in order to secure
action upon it. No definite time was
mentioned by the president for the
meeting of the extraordinary session.
The president is much in earnest in his
desire to have the Cuban treaty ratified
and made effective. 1t can be said
that so strong is this desire, he even
has considered the advisability Of call
ing the congress into extraordinary

Lancaster Chafngang n Failure.
Lancaster special to the News and
Courier: This county has given the
chaingang system a fair and impartial
trial and the people universally regard
it as decided failure-so far as small
counties are concerned 1t is by long
odds the most expensive plan ever tried
the public highways. In the first
place it costs as much to guard con-
victs-the average number on the gang
in a county the size Of Lancaster-as
it does for three or four times that
number in the larger counties. The
expenses Of maintaining the system,
the amount expended in free labor on
the roads, would be productive of in
finitely better results. Besides expert
ence has proven that wherever the
chaingang works it is only question of
time when such highway will become
worse in condition than it was before
the gang touched it. The reason Is not
far to seek. The overseers and the
public generally have an idea that
when the chaingang leaves a road that
it is "done"-that is, that such road Is
finished and substantially built for all
time to come. Consequently nothing
further is done to the road. The ques-
tion is often asked what becomes of all
the dispensary profits that go into the

Mudd Beats McComas,

President Roosevelt has reappointed DR..
Washington G. Tuck postmaster at Annapolis,
Congressman Mudd thus winning over Sena-
tor McComas. These Republican worthless
have recently given out interviews about the
appointment Of DR. Tuck, and if each has
told the truth about the other. neither are en-
titled To much respect from respectable PEG
pie. Mudd accused McComas Of deceit and
dupiicity, and MeComas replied that Mudd
had not told the truth regarding his, McCo.
mas, attitude toward DR.. Tuck. Mudd and
MeComas, be it remembered, came into prom
inence and high offices as the result Of the re
form(?) movement which carried that weak
ling, Lloyd Lowndes, into the governors
chair. Ii IS hoped that those Democrats who
forsook their party in 1895 will closely watch
the record and study the characters of the
men they brought into power by their votes.
If they do, they will not likely commit such
an error again.

Unamliated Voters.

During the annual registration in Baltimore
last fall several thousand voters declined to
state with which party they wished to be
classed, though they knew perfectly we'll that
to be classed with either party did not bind
them to vote party ticket. They also knew
that unless they had party designation on
the registration books they could not partlcl-
pate in the primaries to select candidate for
municipal offices this spring. All who de-
clined to state their party preference are
designated as ''uuafliliated." Notwithstand-
ing this these unaffiliated voters are rushing
into print and endeavoring to control nomlna-
nations in both parties. They are praising
some candidates and condemning others, and
making theats of defeating those who do not
meet their appreciation.
The unaffiiated voters have no reason to
complain of nominations. They put them
selves out of party organizations and denied
themselves the right to participate in the pr
maries. They denied themselves not only
the privileges of freemen, but declined to
qualify themselves to act the part of good and
patriotic citizens, interested in the welfare of
their city 1t is not consistent for them now
to be trying to control nominations, and they
should be ashamed to go TO the polls aud vote
in May. The ward leaders and precinct vo-
tiers and the negroes have shown better clt-
zenship than these unaffiliated voters.

A Turnpike Case.

Messrs. Milton Myers and Howard Devil
bliss recently instituted proceedings in the Cir
cult Court against the New Windsor and
Libertytown Turnpike Company. On Wed
nesday Sheriff Crawford summoned jury by
order of the Court who, after thorough ex-
animation, rendered verdict as follows.
And thereupon the Jurors aforesaid did
find that the condition of the whole and of all
parts of the road bed of said Turnpike Com
pany, lying in Carroll county, between the
stream called Sans Creek and the corporate
limits of the town of New Windsor, to be as
follows The distance from the corporate
limits of New Windsor to the stream called
Sans Creek, is about q miles, toll gate is
erected aud maintained on the portion of the
turnpike about one. quarter of a mile from New
Windsor, where toll is collected by the com
pany from those travelling over the pike the
condition of the pike is the same on both
sides of the gate, and is as follows in places'-
1t is not fifteen feet wide, and that in many
places the road needs immediate repair and
stone properly broken, and that said portion
of the road bed of said turnpike has been IN
such condition for at least two years.
Guy W. Steele represented the plaintiffs
and Chas Z. Fink the Company. The jurors
were Messrs. Louis p. Singuff, GustavuS
Barnes, Plus Babylon, David Zepp, Joshua
Smith and Joseph L. Engar.

Burdiok Murder Investigation.

The coronsr's investigation into the death
of E. L. Burdick, of Buffalo, New York,
closed on Thursday. While the evidence was
sensational there was nothing brought out to
surely connect anyone with the crime. Mrs.
Burdick's evidence, which she gave unblush-
ingly, showed that she and Arthur K. Penneil
were enamored of each other and that she had
been to Niagara Falls. New York city and
Atlantic City with him, and had frequently
met him at his law Office and at various other
rooms in Buffalo. The burning love letters
from Pennell to Mrs. Burdiek we're offered in
evidence, in one or two Of which he limited at
suicide. Burdick had entered suit for divorce
against his wife, with Pencil as co-respon-
dent. Mrs. Burdick 5 evidence showed mo-
tive why PennelI should want 10 get Burdiek
out of the way, and the subsequent death Of
Pennell and wife in stone quarry, into
which his automobile plunged about three
weeks ago, has led to the suspicion that he
had something TODD with the murder of Burdck
and that Pencils death WAS an act Of suicide.
Mrs. PennelI seems to have known of her nus
bands escapades with Mrs. Burdick, and that
Pennel wanted to divorce her in order to
marry Mrs. Burdick. Just before their death
Pennell and wife rode leisurely in drenchng
rain up and down Buffalo street, stopped at
a saloon and got drinks. and then rushed at a
rapid pace toward the stone quarry. Herbert
II. Rice. business man of Indianapolis and
a friend of the late f. L. Burdick, says Bur
dick told him that he had received letter
from Mrs. Peunell pleading With him to stop
the divorce proceedings, and stating that II
he did not there would be a double suicide
that of Arthur and herself. The death of
Pennell and wife will be Investigated next

Against One Machine And For An
other.

Our esteemed contemporary, The Baltimore
Evening News, is occupying rather anoma-
lous position regarding the primaries In Bal
timore. 1t is against Mr.. McLane because
he is backed by the regular Democratic or
ganization, and indirectly is supporting Mr..
Hayes, because he is out of the organization.
On the other hand it is for Mr.. Plat, the Re-
publican machine candidate, and against Mr..
Wachter, who is running for mayor in opposi-
ton to Plat and independently of the regular
Republican organization.
The News will not contend that the Demo
cratic organization is any worse than the Re
publican organization, we suppose, and II is
difficult to understand why it encourages the
candidacy of an Independent in the Demo
cratic primaries and condemns the independ-
ent in the Republican primaries or why an
organization candidate in the Democratic
contest is condemned and the organization
candidate in the Republican contest is up
held
The News is aware that the Democratic
party has allowed the utmost freedom to It's
voters, because every Democrat can vote
secret ballot directly for the candidate OF his
choice, and there can be no boss dictation
nor machine rule 1t also knows that the Re
publican managers have denied to Republl-
cans this privilege. They can vote only for
delegates to a convention, which Will MONT
maize candidates for mayor and other general
Offices, and it well knows that delegates can
sometimes be manipulated to vote in opposi'
ton to the party's will.
Knowing these facts, it is singular that the
News should uphold the Republican organi'
zation candidates. The Republican organi-
zat;ou candidates may not have majority IN
the primaries aud yet be nominated by the
manipulation of delegates. The Democratic
organization candidates cannot win unless
they receive more votes than their opponents.
