A speeialfrom Big Springs, Tex., says : A most daring robbery was committed at Moits first siding on the line of the Texas Pacific railroad ten miles west of here at midnight last night. The only inhabitants of the place are a gang of fifty Chinese section hands and a white farmer. At almost' midnight the Chinamen were waited upon by fifty masked men who demanded their money. Upon refusing to give up their hard earned cash, they were one at a time hung up by their cues until they gave up their money. The robbers, thinking they had not gotten all the cash in the camp, returned and tortured one of the chinamen by holding him on a hot stove until his comrades gave up the balanoe of their money, some $500, In all. One celestial had his cue cut eff and was otherwise horribly tortured. ' No ar rests have been made. yii 10 jlMsirti St. ' etre It Tbe BTewe AV.d Observer. Durham Recorder. The Legislature whioh will soon meet in Raleigh will as usual hare to elect a State printer. We beliere that those who do the most valiant service in the political campaigns should, every thing being cqial, be rewarded for their faithful service when it is in the power of the oartv to do so. - The fact has lonsr ainee been oatent to the minds of the democratic party in North Carolina thai in order to secure success we must hare an ably conduoted daily paper at the capital. It must be strongly sup ported, for in that it becomes tbe more effluent. The result of the last election has given the democratic party a les sou that proves to them that good, solid work will have to be done two years from now. The history of the daily papers started in the eity of Raleigh .hows that more than $100,000 has been spent in such enterprises. The Mews and Observer has withstood the storms of the financial crisis- and has been a power in the land for the cause of S democracy. The paper should be well and ably sustained, for it deserves the! greatest suooess. No better way of rewarding the News and Observer for the great work it has done for the party than unanimously electingthat paper to do the 8tate printing. The Recorder trusts the democratic members will re ward true merit by giving the printing to a piper whose claims are so much greater than those of any other. Ilr at Bay St. Leal.

It is esti mated at the Treasury department that the public debt statement to be issued morrow will show a decrease ua the debt for -the month of November of little over $1,000 000. The Small amount of the reduction is principally due to the fact that nearly $14,000,000 were paid out during the month for 'pen sions alone. The receipts during the month were about $27,000,000 and the disbursements about $24 000,000.! In November of last year the receipts were about $25,000,000 and the expenditures about $23,000,000. There was an in crease of about four millions in the debt in November 1885.

Thoebe.The contestant's allega tions are numerous and it requires for ty: fire pages cf legal cap paper to recite them all. The petition starts out by alleging that there were east for Mr. Thoebe one thousand legal votes in the sixth Congressional district of Ken tucky, which, by omissions, mistakes or fraud and collusion of the election offi cers of the various precincts and voting places, and the eounty canvassing boards were not counted and returned for Mr. Thoebe. It is charged that the poll-box and re turns of Trimble eounty were all in vio lation of law and were opened within less than three days after said election ; that the vote as returned was 376: for Carlisle and three for Thoebe, and he objected to the county vbeing counted; that the ballot-boxes of Trimble county were in the cub tody of the eounty clerk of said eounty, and exposed and liable to be tampered with' by the said elerk or by any evil-disposed person. Ob jection is made, to Grant and Gallatin counties, in which all sons of frauds are alleged.

Nov. 28 George Haalett and Mist Sadie Allen, of Buffalo went through the rapids and the whirl pool this afternoon in the torpedo- shaped barrel used by Haalett and Potts last summer. They were in the rapids and whirlpool five minutes and were taken out of the eddy on the Canadian side, just below the whirlpool, three Juarters of an hour later, in good oon ition. Miss Allen is a respectable girL eighteen- years old, a petite brunette and rather pretty. , . Miss Allen when she appeared at the ferry ready to enter upon the perilous journey wore a neat walking dress. Taking off her hat and jacket and throw ing a shawl over her head she stepped lightly into the barrel through the man hole, tueking her garments closely about her and laughingly remarking, "Come, George, jump in; I'm all fixed." Soon after Hailett stepped into the craft, fas tening himself in the end opposite to that occupied by Miss Allen. Just thirty minutes from the time the barrel was towed out into the river it reached the whirlpool. 1 he start was made from the Maid of the Mist landing, on the Canadian side When the barrel reached the maelstrom it shot right into the centre of the pool, making two or three turns. Leaving the pool the barrel followed the current out toward the Canadian shore, and down to the outlet of the pool, where it got into a large eddy and bobbed around for half an hour. Friends near by shouted to the occupants of the barrel, when Hsilett opened a small door on the top and Frank Lawson threw a rope from the shore, which Haalett secured aid the barrel was towed ashore. Haalett was severely bruised and the girl was so weak and sick that she could not move, and Haalett had to lift her out' She was oarried to the bluff, cov ered up warmly and dmea as quickly as? possible to Hearn's hotel, stimu lants were given her and she was placed behind the stove to get warm. She seemed to be suffering intensely from the shock and was as pale as a ghost. When she had sufficiently recovered Miss Allen feebly whispered to her brother-in-law: "Well, Will, yau see I went through game." "les, you did, my girl " he re sponded, "but I guess you don't care for any more of it, do you 7 ' "No, indeed," she replied. "Noth ing would ever tempt me to go through again." Then, turning to the World corres pondent, she continued : "I am all right, I guess, but my limbs and body feel terribly bruised and sore. I guess I can't go home tonight, for I feel as if 1 couldn't stir. You see I was not used to the thing and in the terrible ordeal I lost my grip on the handles and was thrown about considerably. . I was, oh, so frig htfullv sick. When I came out of the barrel I did not know where I wat at all. When I was being taken up in the elevator I guessed every man kissed me a dot en times. I never saw such a lot of orai y and silly fellows. Several gave me gold pieces, and this (holding out a nickel) was the smallest, but I value it as a token of good-will just the sime. 1 should never have made the trip if 1 had known it was such an awful place, but after I once said I would go, why I would." Haslett was bruised considerably, but on his feet, trying ' to minis ter to the comfort of the girl. She stayed tonight with her people, but will go to Buffalo if ahe feels able. It is an unheard of thing for any ob ject to go through the whirlpool and stop short of the mouth of the river. At Thompson's point, however, several bodies have been, found, and it will now go down on the local harts as a place equal to the devil's nolo. The barrel used today was the one in whioh Haalett and William Potts went through the rapids. Its extreme length is i ten feet and the diameter tapers from twenty-four .inches to six inobea The pointed end, whieh is round like a bullet, is covered with sheet iron. A bulkhead, about four feet back from the smaller end, forms an air chamber. The uooer side of the craft is slishtlr flattened and in the centre is placed a sort of turret or oupola, with glass covered peep-holes. This covers tht opening through which access is ob tained to the interior, and is made secure by means of a'-strong iron clamp, which can be securely fastened from the inside. An oak keel is attached to the bottom. A sheet iron rudder and screw wheel are attached to the largr end and are operated from the interior The wheel it was decided to remove this time, as experience had demonstrated that it could not be operated in the ter rible maa'strom throughjrhioh it was to be; navigated.
