Some one did go and tell them, and they

Maude's father found out it would dr) no

them to eonle and spend Tuesday with him,

Will has a lovely home, aud with his dear

He is now one of our best lawyers, and
was nominated last week for mayor. We
are sure he will be elected. Although he is
young, I think he svill make a good officer.
Oh, yes; I came near forgetting to tell

The Railway Brigands.

to Believe and. tiee 001118 100, states p Viestrusa
correspondent, now carrying au armed
escort of 20 soldiers,. A telegram reports
Anasta,sius, the brigand chief, to have told.
Freudiger, the kidnapped engine driver,
that he had received information so 1.0 the
number of passengers in the train which he
and his men waylaid. A telegram was sent
him, he says, with the words, " Eight bar-
rels (i, e., passengers) are coming." The
question is being asked, Who sent this
telegram ? The directors of the Eastetu
Railways are anxious to defend their ser-
vants from all charge of complicity, but
there is not a newspapse in this country
that has hesitated to :express the opinion
that the outrage at Tcherkesskeui could not
have been perpetrated unless the brigands
had confederates either among the railway
servants or among the Turkish officials. .A.
correspondent who professes to be thorough-
ly well informed as bo the management of
the Turkish railways, says that the precau-
tions taken for the safety of passengers are
absolutely inadequate. Whereas in Hun-
gary the beat of a railway watchman or'
01(311011)118(1 does not exceed two kilometres,
it extends on the Turkish lines to four and
O half kilometres. The watchmen have no
apparatus for signaling, no bells, no discs.
If anything goes wrong they cannot com"-
munioate with each other nor with
-
the nearest station. The stations are 36
kilometres apart. The correspondent adds
that nine ont of ten level crossings are left
open and unguarded, and he remarks that
att.oks by brigande on stations, goods de-
pots, and signal houses have been of frequent
occurrence, This last statement is borne
out by the Constantinople correspondent of
the Neuss Wiener Tagblatt, who alleges that
Herr Von Radowitz, the German Ambassa-
dor, holds documentary evidence of thefact
that sinoe the middle of 1S89 there had been
no fewer than 71 armed attacks upon the
property of the railtvay company. That
journal adds :-" We shall never know the
whole truth about ,the affair unless the
brigands and their friends quarrel in divid-
ing the spoil. 1( 1110)1 share the plunder
fraternally we shall hear little more about
the business."
