Special Dispateh to THE CAL PH(ENIX, Nov. 16 —The third of a series of hold-ups near Pheenix within the last week occurred last night. It was at- tended by possibly something worse than a fatality, for one ot the victims, a young woman, bas not recoveied her reason, and it is feared that it is permanenily un- settled. The hold-up took place at 8:30 o'clock, a quarter of a mile from the insaneasylum and not far from the point where J. E. Stovall was robved last week. William Railing, an attendantat the asylum, and Minnie Babby, whe, with her father, is also employed at the asvlum, left the in- stitution shortly before 8:30 o'clock to ac- company Gertie Bubby, & younger sister, to the home of her purents, a half-mile aistant. They went down the asylum groundsinside a hedge fence. When they reached the corner and turned into the road two men with handkerchiefs tied over their faces sprang from the hedge, and, holding revoivers at Railing’s nead, ordered him to hold up Lis hands. He did so, but the girls creamed and ran. The younger ran only a short distance before she fell, screaming. Railing ran to her side and ine highwaymen disap- peared. The girl called tle name of Thomas King, wirose house was on the oppcsite side of the road. Without putting on nis shoes Mr. King ran out and jound Railing and the demented girl. She was still screammg: **Ob, make them take off the handker- chiefs! Oh, don’tlet them hurt me!” She was taken home and her father and D . Hambiin were sent for. Extraordinary quantities of anesthetics were civen her, wiih but little effect. At 1 o’clock this morning Ler condition was even worse. She was rigid with fright and always screaming, *“Oh, make them take the handkerchiefs off their faces!” showing that her mina had stopped at that awful moment. Her condition at no time gave hope of her recovery. As soon as word ot the outrage reached the asylum, Governor McCord, who hap- vened to be there, set on foot a movement for pursuing the footpads. He sent to 1own for officers, who hurried to the asy- lum with bloodhounds, but they were un- able to find any trail. No one had seen in what direction the footpads fled w frightened by the screaming of the gi Tuey are no doubt the same men who robbed Stovall last week and Claycomb last Saturday night. Their robberies have 0 far netted them less than §5, but they have succeesing in irstituting a reign of terror in the outskirts of the city. IN FROM THE ORIENT.

SAN QUE l‘lN‘ CaL, Nov. 16.—The | Wil e e N ovib taxpayers of Calilornia might well ask : i themseives what benefit they have r Tue Capn correspondent had a talk | with Senator Harris of Kansa regarding the sale of the and the coming cale of the Kansas Pacific Railioad. He expressed himsell as being ceived through the expenditure of $1000 of | the State’s money which was appropri- ated to send Wardens Hale and Aullon a pleasure trip to the East. It will be re- membered that the Attorney-General | thought it wou!d be necessary to have Hale and Aull in Washington when the Durrant case came up. It was predicted by some members of the bar that nothing would come of it, and that the Wardens would betier stay at home and attend to affairs within their jarisdiction. However, the Prison Directors et aside $1000 for ex- penses, ana ne Wardens journeyed toward the rising sun, and were feted ar:d dined while the California taxpayers stood | the expense. Notwithstanding the expenditure of | $1000 and the powerful influence oi two | California State-prison waraens in Wash- ington at the same time, Durrant siill lives and thrives and waxes fat on food from the officers’ mess, paid for out of the puckets of the taxpayers. It might be interesting to the public to know that Warden Hnle, at the meeting of the State Board of Prison Directors at San Quentin Jast Saturday, made a verbal report of his trip, which consistad of tell- ing what a nice time he had and how he | found only one penitentiary which he thought compared with San Quentin. The Directors (1here were only three present— DePue, Deviin and Wilkins) listened to Hale’s narrative, and when it wasover got | Jdown to business again. Q That appears to be the net result of Mr. Hale's junieting rip to Washingion. Next Saturday the Prisen Directors will o 10 Folsom to hold a meeting, and un- doubtedly Warden Aull at that penitenti- ary will tell them what a high old time he | had spending his $500in less than a month. And maybe Aull wiil tell them that he went on the Worden ca-e, which, up to this writing, has not come before the United States Supreme Court. s g KILLED BY A HEARTY LAUGH. | Selma Woman Fuptures a Blood-Ves- | sel in the Heart and Dies the administration. Indeed, he went fur- ther, and said that Attornev-General M Kenna haa done splendidly and had ex- ceeded hi 0-i sanguine exvectations. This is significant, as coming from a Populist Senator, who, when a member of the House, was such a bitter opponent of the refunding bili, and who was Judge Maguire’s strongest ally in defeating the measure. Senator Harris said: “'I pelieve that the Union Pacitic reorganization comm itiee will hzve to b.d for the Kansas Pacific. in order to protect its junior secu- rities as well as 1o protectits branci roads that are now fecders 10 the Kansas racific. “The talk about them paralleling the road or purcnasing the so-called ‘Leaven- worth line’ is all nonsense. They will bid for the Kansas Pacific, and the price that the sum total the Gov- will realize from tbe sale of and Kansas Pacific roads will amount to $71,000,000 or more. The Government will, thereiore, not Jose a doliar on its loan. I believe that if the Government stands firm the Central Pacific can be made to real:ze as much proportionately as the other iwo roads.
