Two well ¢ dignified strangers came to Loc t Thursda nd inquired the road to Brack’s Landing, near which Jacob Brack, an old settler, the projector of the deep water canal to Lodi, heavy land-owner shrewd man of business resided. They represented themselves as J. 8. Curtin, ex-Superior Judge of Alameda Coun 1d C. H. Ferguson, an ex-Mayor of Oakland, who were out looking for a desirable piece of land near Lodi. They drove out to Brack's place and the old gentleman, ever courteous, at once hitched up a team and took the visitors all over his splendsd domain. While on the road home they came ona pedestrian who asked for a ride as his buggy was broken down. The request was granted. The stranger was affable and loquacious. He had money, too, and just to while away the time, after they reached Brack’s home, he proposed a lottery game. The stranger’s luck was poor, but he cheer- fully lost a few dollars, which the ex-judge, -mayor and Farmer Brack won from Oakland hit upon a happy plan, and they took Brack into their confidence. It was nothing more nor less than a proposi- tlon that the threé pool their coin and beat the lottery man at his own game. Under the persuasive influence of his gentlemanly visitors, Brack consented. But as Brack had no coin with him, it was agreed to meet the next day at Murphy's. Then.Brack came to Lodi to raise his share /! the money,and at the bank of Lodi Be asked for $4000. Banker Cogs. well, however, suspected something wat wrong and persuaded the land-owner to take half the amount asked for and to bring the parties to the bank the next day if more was needed. The next day the quartet met at’ Mur- phy’s. Brack produced his gold and be- fore his eyes it was counted into a nice, new tin box. Then the visitors placed some gold in the other box, dollar for dol- lar they told Brack, at least Brack be- lieves they, did, though now he has a dim suspicion that his eyes may have deceived 1. The two boxes were put side by side and the game began. Soon there arose adispute. Brack was chosen as the cus- todian of the money, pending the settle- ors went away to secure an ad- justment of the trouble. That was the Jast seen of the ex-judge, the ex-Mayor, and the lottery-player. Old Jacob Brack brought the boxes to the bank of Lodi in high glee, thinking he had made $6000 or $7000, and it was only after much per- suasion that he allowed the boxes to be forced open. Finally he consented. There was nothing in them but rocks. The victim refused to make any com- plaint concerning his loss, but his two sons have taken up the case and are de-| termined to catch the sharpers if possible. This'is the second case of this kind in or| near Lodi in the past year. A farmer named D. L. Boody was the last victim. NARE ISLAND NAVY-YARD. THE OLYMPIA MAY BE MADE FLAGSHIP OF THE PACIFIC SQUADRON. THE CRUISER I§ IN THE STREAM, Reapy To Make ITs TRIAL TRIP. VALLEJO, March 24.—The cruiser Olym- pia lies in the stream and will probably re- main there for some time yet, though efforts are being made by the people of | San Diego to have her go down and lie in! the harbor for a time. Before this car: be done, however, it will be necessary for the new. cruiser to. go out on her trial trip, She is all ready to go and will undoubt- edly be sent to Honolulu to take the place | of the flagship Philadelphia, which will re- turn to Mare Island. If the Olympia goes to Honolulu she will then be made the | flagship of the Pacific squadron. The monitor Monterey left the yard Sat- urday afternoon and steamed out into San Pablo Bay and from there, if nothing pre- vents, will go down to San Francisco Mon- day afternoon. While in San Pablo Bay the steering apparatus will be given a trial. It is expected that she will'remain off San Francisco a short time and from there will go to San Diego. An electric light has been placed on her mast to warn vessels cruising about the bay on dark nights and prevent collisions. The lights heretofore shown were so low that often they were hard to distinguish from the decks of the schooners and other small craft. ‘The ways will soon be built near the ferry- gate house for the laying of the keel of the new steel tug. It is expected that within ninety days after work is fairly commenced on her that she will be ready for her trial trip. Many of the castings have been made up at the steam enginery and they have all turned out well. The Bennington will be the next vessel to go in the dock. The Board of Enquiry in rl sessionl to find out the cause of injury to one of the boilers has been in secret ses- sion during the past week. Nothing has been learned as to the possible findings of the Board. On April 1 Paymaster L. 0. Kerr of the Independence will be temporarily attached to the general storehouse until such time as a paymaster is appointed to fill the vacancy made by the assignment of Pay- master Bacon to the Oly A powerful electric 1 at the gate entrance which will be found of much convenience to those on guard duty as well as to those landing on the float after dark. On the Monadnock the usual amount of work is being performed, while on the Boston it is almost at a standstill, - A4 MADERA OUTLAW’'S TRAIL. oN A Fresno Posse Prepared for a Long Chase in Pursuit. FRESNO, March 24.—No tidings have been received from the posse that left Reedley last evening on the trial of James Lawson, the Madera outlaw. The officers are all well prepared? for a long chase, and the desperado’s capture seems likely at any time, unless he should secure arms from some one of his retreats in the mountains ana should be able to hold the officers at bay. He will make a desperate fight against capture. Eorde S Placer Pioneers’ Picnic Day. AUBURN, March 24.—The annual pic- nic of the Placer County pioneers will be held at this place on May 11, instead of May 17, as previously announced. MINERS@MALASKA THE SPRING EMIGRATION TO THE YURON GOLD FIELDS BEGINS. Two HUNDRED MEN ON THE WAy OVER THE MOUNTAINS Via Dyea CANYON. TACOMA, Wash.,, March 24.—Private letters from Alaska received here, state that the spring emigration to the Yukon gold fields has already commenced. On March 10 nearly 200 Yukon miners had reached Dyea, 300 miles beyond Juneau. As a courier was leaving Dyea the pros- pectors were hauling their sleds upon slush ice up the great Dyea canyon toward the Yukon. Colder weather wasthen expected. In that event the ice would resume its solidity and afford easy sleighing up the river. More dogs have been taken out from Juneau than ever before and the last steamer took up twenty-two from Puget Sound. They haul the prospectors’ outfits over the ice and snow, greatly lightening the labor of the trip. William Liggett, who has been mining on the Yukon for six years, has returned to Juneau with glowing accounts of the rich finds made last season on Forty Mile, Sixty Mile and Miller creeks. Last season several dozen miners took gold worth $150,000 out of Miller Creek. So far the Discovery claim and seven others adjoin- ing it on Miller Creek have yielded the greatest returns in gold nuggets, exceed- ing the yield of any dozen other claims in the Yukon Valley. There was twelve feet of surface dirt upon the Discovery claim, which had to be sluiced off before pay dirt was struck on bedrock. The sluicing had to be done quickly, as the Yukon season lasts only sixty to ninety days. Birch Creek now offers the best induce- ments to prospectors. Late last season big money was made at surface work in the gulches. This year it will be fully opened. - TEXTILE - WORKERS DESPERATE. They Discuss Their Lock-Out Grievances, but Take No Definite Action. PROVIDENCE, R. L, March 24.—The operatives of the Atlantic Mills of Olney- ville held a mass-meeting this afternoon and discussed the lock-out. All the speeches were bitter against the mill- owners, and the meeting lasted several hours; but it was decided to delay aggres- sive action, as it is expected that a general strike witl be ordered by the district court of textile-workers within a few days. The locked-out operatives are in a state bordering on riot, and it is feared that the leaders cannot keep them under control until arrangements are perfected for call- ing a general strike of the 6000 textile- workers in the district. Threats against the mill property are being freely made, and the owners are becoming uneasy. iy FOR MRS. MAYBRICK’S SAKE. Chicago Newspaper Women to Send Rep- resentatives to England, in Her Behalf. CHICAGO, March 24.—A decided step was taken to-day by Chicago women in- terested in the case of Mrs. Maybrick. At a special meeting of the Women’s Press League of Chicago, it was resolved to send to England a member of the league to try to arouse some interest in Mrs. May- brick’s favor. A number of petitions have been sent to the Home Secretary without any effect, so the women of the Chicago press have resolved to try asa last resort the influence on the English press and public of American women imbued with the idea that their country woman is inno- cent, and determined that others shall be- lieve as they do. el Murder Suspected. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., March 24.—Sev- eral days ago two boys, aged 7 and 9 re- spectively, suddenly disappeared from their home here and it was thought they had been kidnaped. This morning Bev- erly Blakey swore out a warrant for the ar- rest of John Ringo, coiored, who is their father, claiming that he has disposed of them by foul means. Blakey, who is a former friend of Rin- go’s wife, claims he can prove the children were murdered and thrown into the Ohio River. —_— Burned for Revenge. OMAHA, March 24.—Cornelius Mec- Guire, a well-known Omaha metal-smith, was locked in his shop to-day and burned to death. He slept late and was awakened by the flames. Rushing to the door he found it barred on the outside. When his suffering made him delirious he rushed through the flames into the street and died. The door and windows had been locked by an enemy. Lo Colonial War Anniversary. NEW YORK, March 24.—The Society of Colonial Wars attended a service in St. Paul’s Chapel to-day in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the departure of the New England ftroops for uisburg March 24, 1745, and of the services held in churches in this city on that date. ROW AT SACRAMENTO. Chinese Tongs Prepare Their Forces fora Battle. FIVE MURDEROUS ALLIES. A Contingent of Desperate Highbinders From San Francisco. AN EMISSARY OF PEACE ARRIVES The Chinese Vice-Consul and His Retinue Will Endeaver to Set- tle the Matter. SACRAMENTO, March 24.—That the threatened battle between the members of the Chinese Sam Yup Company and the highbinder society known as the Fong Duck tong was not entirely settled and de- clared off last night, as claimed by the members of the police force, is evinced by the presence here of the Chinese vice- consul, who arrived in this city at noon from San Francisco attended by hisretinue of attendants and two interpreters. The vice-consul has made a thorough examina- tion into the original cause of the difficulty and will grant a hearing to members of both organizations and render a decision that must be adhered to by all concerned. Tuesday Chief of Police Drew received the following telegram from San Fran- cisco: We are informed that the members of the highbinder organization known as the Fong Duck Tong in your city intend to attack the Sam Yup Association and its people to-night. Please protect respectable Chinese and see trouble prevented. CHANG TING CHIP, Chinese Consul-General. Chief Drew immediately notified his offi- cers to prevent trouble at all hazards. The entire highbinder society was threatened with arrest if any outbreak occurred, and extra officers were detailed to put an imme- diate stop to any demonstrations of a threatening nature. Yesterday morning the Chief received a telegram from Thomas D. Riordon, attorney for the Chinese Six Companies, which is as follow: One of the officers of the Six Companies named Lai Heck has gone to Sacramento to assist your department in preventing, if pos- sible, threatened, highbinder outbreak, He will call on you. He fears personal attack. As he represenis the Chinese consulate as well as the Six Companies please extend him such courtesies and assistance as you can. Lai Heck arrived and succeeded in cre- ating a greater disturbance than ever, as related in an article that appeared in this morning’s Carn. He accepted the chief’s advice and left on the first train for San Francisco, to be succeeded by the vice- consul. The Fong Duck tong received re-enforce- ments by a late train to-night from San Francisco in the form of five of the most desperate fighters of their organization in the State, which indicates that the pres- ence of the Chinese magnate may be dis- regarded and a fight ensue should matters not be arranged to their liking. AN UNKNOWN DEAD MAN. A Pisherman’s Grewsome Catch in the River. SACRAMENTO, March 24.—Fisherman Johnson made a grewsome catch this af- ternoon when he drew to the shore from the muddy bottom of the Sacramento River the dead body of an unknown man which had evidently been in the water at least four weeks. The body was found three miles south of Sacramento, on the Yolo side of the river. Deputy Coroner Gillof Yolo Connty was notified and had the body searched and conveyed to this city for burial. The search resulted in the finding of $25 in gold coin, 75 cents in change and a check or or- der dated February 23, 1895, and numbered 40,417, on the James H. Goodman Banking Company of Napa City, made payable in the sum of $200 to Robert Swan or bearer and signed “J. C. Noyes, assistant cashier.” The body was attired in gray undercloth- ing, dark pants, blue jumper and gray canvas coat. The feet were incased in a pair of laced shoes, evidently new. The dead man was appapently about 65 years of age, had a full gray beard three inches in length and gray hair, and teeth perfectly sound. His weight was at least 185 pounds and he was 5 feet 10 inches in height. A silver-nickel watch and chain similar to those worn by railroad engineers was also found upon the body, the hands of which pointed to a hair’s breadth of the hour of 4 o’clock, at which hour his life had prob- ably ended. DEBS MAKES AN ADDRESS. The Recent Strike Was the Subject of His Discourse. SACRAMENTO, March 24.—Eugene V. Debs, president of the A. R. U., is in Sac- ramento and this afternoon was accorded an interview with Governor Budd at the Capitol. The conversation ran on current topics, nothing of a political matter being touched upon. This evening he addressed a largze aud- ience at the old pavilion builaing in this city on the subject, “Who are the Con- spirators?”’ But few of the actual em- ployes of the Southern Pacific Company were present, although they coflected on adjacent street corners and consulted as to the advisability of attending the lec- ture, but fear of the ultimate consequences evidently deterred them and they would disperse to their homes. The speaker in his address claimed that the real conspirators was the General Managers’ Union, formed over six weeks before the birth of the A. R. U. He took occasion to score Egan, Judge Jenkins and the press of the country, which, he claimed, as well as the courts, is controlled by the corporations and the money power. He asserted that all the responsibility for the bloodshed and destruction of property, while it lasted, rested on the railroads; that the burning of cars at Chicago was done by the United States deputy mar- shals and that the A. R. U. men did noth- ing to violate the law. An Insulter of Women Thrashed. SACRAMENTO,March 24.—-A young man of the extreme dudish type appeared at the Receiving Hospital to-day and had several stitches inserted in his lower lip by Surgeon McManus. He refused to give his name or state in what manner the injury had been received, but it subse- quently leaked out that he attempted to bestow his captivating attention upon a young lady with whom he had no acquaint- ance and that a big brother resented the insult. Jone Reform School Is Full. SACRAMENTO, March 24.—City Attor- ney Brown has received a letter from the superintendent of the Dreston School of Industry at Ione notifying him that the school is full and no more persons can be accommodated. ‘AMAN KILLED.

One of the missiles struck the horse, which ran away. Lee Sung was thrown outandkilled. Sing Ho, a companion, was badly injured. The boys have been identified. An inquest will be held to-morrow, and it is probable that the boys will be placed under arrest. The names of the boys im- plicated are Charles Haggerton, Clarence Hilton, Tom Hilton and Frank Faull They are from 14 years of age. ——— ar Corralitos. SANTA CRUZ, March 24—Peter Mc- Govern was thrown from a buggy ner Cor- ralitos yesterday was instantly killed. SUCAR BEETS IN COLTSA, EFFORTS TO PROMOTE THE IN- DUSTRY AND SECURE A FACTORY. DiscUsSION OF THE MATTER BY PROMINENT CITIZENS AND LAND-OWNERS. COLUSA, March 24.—The people of Colusa County are much interested in the subject of the sugar-beet industry, and a movement has been started to secure the establishment here of a factory which would consume the product of the farms if beet-culture should be established on a large scale. The indications at present point to suecessful consuramation of the mooted plan. Friday afternoon the leading citizens and landowners of Colusa and vicinity met at the theater here to discuss the matter. D. H. Arnold was called to the chair and J. B. de Jarmott was made secretary. The latter had been corresponding in the inter- est of the industry and had gathered much information concerning it. He read to the meeting the letters of those who proposed various schemes for establishing a factory at Colusa, stating the costand the methods necessary in order tosecure capital for such an enterprise. 8 Ay W. S. Green presented a copy of the agreement between Richard Gird and the Chino Sugar Beet Factory Company in which Gird gave it 2500 acres of land, tak- ing a lease on it for five years, agreeing to plant that amount of beats the first year, 4000 acres the second year, 5000 in the suc- ceeding three years, and selling them to the company at $3 50 per ton for beats contain- ing 12 per cent of saccharine matter and 25 cents a ton more for each additional per cent increase. Secretary de Jarnatt said he had talked to capitalists in San Francisco and if Colusans would do as well as Chino they could get a factory here. J. R. Price then spoke of the general ad- vantage of Colusa for such an enterprise and enlarged upon the advantages it would be to the locality. W. F. Ford, County Clerk, said he de- sired to make a communistic speech. He opposed capitalists having anything to do with the enterprise, for the people should build the factory and that the laboring peo- ple should have some chance. Colonel L. F. Moulton said if he were in a hole and king capital essayed to pull him out that he would catch hold of his coat- tails. The chair was authorized to appoint a committee of five to take charge of the whole subject matter and report at its pleasure. The general opinion is that Colusa will get the factory. AT T S Santa Clara Butcher Gored by a Steer. SAN JOSE, March 24.—Morris Martinelli died at an early hour this morning from injuries received in a slaughter-house at Santa Clara by being gored by a steer, which charged upon him when the animal was brought in to be killed. NEW YORK .DAYLIGHI‘ ROBBERY. Six Thousand Dollars Worth of Diamonds Secured From a Jeweler, NEW YORK, March 24.—The jewelry- store of Constant Lucius was robbed yes- terday afternoon and diamonds to the value of $6000 stolen. An unknown man who was well dressed drove up in a buggy to the store and beck- oned tothe clerk, Mr. Frederick, to come out to him. Although Frederick wasalone in the store at the time he did so, and the stranger, taking a handsome gold watch from his pocket, engaged him in conversa- tion regarding some fancied trouble in the movement. When Frederick returned to the store, to his dismay he dis covered that in that brief time some one had entered the store and taken from the showcase two trays of diamonds valued at $6000. TRIED TO BURN A CAPITALIST. Fritz Schneitzler’'s Home in Wichita Sat- urated With Oil, Then Lighted. WICHITA, Kans., March 24.—During the absence of his family, early this morn- g, a fiendish attempt to roast alive Fritz Schneitzler, one of the wealthiest men in Wichita, was made. He was sleeping, when every avenue leading to his room was saturated with coal oil and fired. Be- fore the fire had obtained much headwa; firemen arrived and dragged Schneitzler, who weighs over 400 pounds, from his room. 'wo firemen, as well as Mr. Schneitzler, were badly burned. There is no_clew to the perpetrator and no reason is known for any one committing the deed. O Opposed to Mob Law, OMAHA, March 24—The Attorney- General returned from Western Nebraska to-day. In conversation he said: “Iam aetermined to_break up mob law in Nebraska, and I propose to earn my salary as Attorney-General, and particularly in upholding the dignity of the State.” SCANDAL AT TACOMA, Members of the Council Accused of Corrupt Practices. MONEY PAID BY BANKS. Allegations of Bribery to Retain Deposits of City Funds. DEMAND FOR INVESTIGATION. The Grand Jury May Be Called On to Examine Municipal Affairs. TACOMA, Wash., March 24.—A sensa- tion has been created here by a morning paper’s efforts to demonstrate that the present City Council, composed partly of Populists, is incompetent to manage the city’s business, particularly its financial affairs. In the campaign of a year ago a great deal of noise was made about large sums of city money on deposit in the banks. The sums aggregated about $700,000, in- cluding $330,000 voted for water extension purposes. The Populists demanded that the banks either pay interest on the de- posits or hand over the money. Some of the banks were then paying interest, but since the new Council came in practically none has been paid. In several articles lately the Ledger has insinuated that some of the members of the Finance Committee were being paid by some of the banks. The members re- ferred to promptly demanded an investi- gation, and last night the Council passed a resolution ordering the proprietor and manager of the Ledger to appear before the Council Tuesday next and prefer written charges in support of what had been published. The Ledger this morning anticipated the Council by making its charges more spe- cific and stating in effect that two mem- bers of the Finance Committee have been paid money by the banks holding the largest city deposits; that another mem- ber secured & loan of $3000, and still an- other secured renewals of loans. It inti- mates that the money was paid the City Treasurer to be given the two Councilmen, and alleges further that an evening paper several months ago demanded and received $1000 from the banks to withhold publica- tion of the articles attacking the banks containing the largest city deposits. It is also alleged that $1000 more was demanded but the demand:not pressed when the paper’s managers learned that the facts had been given the Ledger for publication. The article concludes by demanding the calling of a Grand Jury to thoroughly in- vestigate this transaction, the bank books and the Finance Committee. Many citizens have to-day declared that the Grand Jury must investigate and the city’s financial matters be straightened out. This will probably be done, as under the law the Grand Jury must scon be called anyway. TO EJECT ILLEGAL TENANTS. The Omaha Courts Asked to Restrain Settlers From Interfering. OMAHA, March 24.—The Interior De- partment will no longer tolerate the iilegal occupation of the lands of the Omaha and ‘Winnebago Indian reservations in Ne- braska. The Flourney Live Stock and Real Estate Company and 160 parties who hold leases under it refused to abandon their claims when ordered. A bill has been filed by the United States Attorney in Omaha asking for an injunction against all the lessees, together with 250 sub-lessees under them, and for an order restraining them from interfering with the Indian agents in the discharge of their duties toward the Indians. The few who are expected to re- sist will be promptly removed by force if necessary. e SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC ENDED. Only Siz Cases Remain in Milwaukee Out of One Thousand Odd. . MILWAUKEE, March 24.—The small- pox cases which were for some wecks last summer and fall epidemic in this city, and which has kept the Health Department busy all winter, is practically wiped out. The isolation hospitals - have been closed and there are now only six cases in the city. In nine months there have been 1011 cases and 268 deaths. The authorities have had many eviis to cope with in their work of suppressing the disease. Mobs have fought the health authorities who were sent to remove patients to the hospi- tals, and a constant warfare has been waged in certain quarters against the methods of coping with the pest. S i, DENVER'S LOSS. Four Firemen and $40,000 Gone From the Fire. DENVER, March 24.—Four firemen lost their livesin the firein the St. James Hotel this morning. They were: Harold W. Hartwell, captain; F. 8. Brawley, lieuten- ant; Richard Dandridge, fireman; Steve Martin, fireman. All were members of Hose Company 3 and all except Captain Hartwell were col- ored men. They went down with the floor of the rotunda and were horribly mangled and burned. There were 165 guests in the hotel, all of | whom escaped uninjured. The damage by the fire amounts to $40,000, about half of which is on the building and half on the furniture. ‘ —_——— Clara Hathaway Buried. BOSTON, March 24.—The funeral serv- ices over the body of Clara Hathaway, who shot herself at the Adams House last Tues- day, were held to-day. Over fifty men and women, principally members of the the- atrical profession, with Steve Brodie, through whom the funeral was provided, were present at the services, while a large and curious crowd surrounding the place were kept at proper distance by a detail of police. AL B Ajfter Oleomargarine. MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, March 24.—The State of Minnesota has stationed an in- spector at Duluth, whose sole duty will be to confiscate contraband Wisconsin prod-l ucts. It is alleged that a great deal of oleomargarine and spurious lard and but- ter is shipped into Minnesota in violation of the laws of that State, and an attempt will be made to break up the practice. ——— FAITH WAR LIKELY. The School Question in Manitoba Assum- ing a Serious Aspect, MINNEAPOLIS, March 24—A special to the Tribune from Winnipeg, Manitoba, says: Manitoba and the Canadian North- west have reached the crisis in their history, and the storm which has been hovering | over the country so long is likely to break | forth before long. It is a war so bitter that it may wreck the confederation of the Dominion. The Catholics are fighting for their parochial schools with grim deter- mination, while the Protestant majority, with equal resolution, declare the parochial schools recently abolished by the Manitoba Legislature shall never be re-established. The excitement is intense to-day. In the churches preachers confined their re- marks to the impending struggle. Prot- estant preachers begged Protestants to stand firm, and the Catholic clergy ap- pealed to their congregations to never give up the fight. % The Orangemen are taking a hand in the struggle. Major Stuart Mulvey, grand master of the Orangemen, said: “It cost Canada $8,000,000 to subdue the half-breeds | on the banks of the Saskatchawan in 1885. How many millions will it take to make slaves of the people of Manitoba by sub- jecting them to the Catholic hierarchy?”’ | A few men who foresee the consequences are urging moderationstbut the spirit of the factions is now so fierce and bitter that their counsels are unheeded. BLOODHOUNDS ARE USED. OFFICERS AFTER THE CRIPPLE CREEK, COLORARO, TRAIN ROBBERS. AN Ex-DEPUTY SHERIFF AND A YounGg MaN ARE UNDER AR- REST FOR THE CRIME. VICTOR, Colo., March 24.—The masked robbers who held up the ;Florence and | Cripple Creek southbound train just out- side the city limits last night did not ob- tain much plunder. Two robbers boarded | the train at Victor. One entered the sleeper and immediately began to wake up the passengers and seize their money and watches. He got about $1000, including | the Pullman car conductor’s receipts, and | some jewelry. The other robber got on the *‘blind-bag- gage” car at Victor and climbed over the | tender into the engine, compelling the engineer to stop the train at a point one and a half miles south of Victor, where four or five other robbers were in waiting. | The latter party commenced their work on | the mail and express-car and soon had them ovpen, but, it is said, they found no | valuable packages. The robbers were dressed in miners’ clothes and wore slonch hats and masks. They were jovial in their treatment of the trainmen, but hurried through with the work, enforcing their commands with a ready display of firearms. After the robbers completed their work the engineer started the train back to Victor, but the robbers objected and com- manded the engineer to pull out toward the south, which he did. The train was fairly well filled, quite a number of ladies being on board. Besides a large number of valuable watches, rings and diamond pins about $1000 in money was secured. The job was doubtless done by part of the same gang that robbed John Hargan the night before in his cabin here in town. A special train came in this morning with the bloodhound that did such good work recently at Walsenburg tracking the Italian murderers.. The dog, upon being placed on what was supposed to be the trail of one of the bandits, made a straight shoot, for some cabins near the Strong mine in the outskirts of town. To-night Bob Taylor, an ex-Deputy Sheriff and employe of the Strong mine, who shot a bartender in Pueblo during the railroad trouble last summer. and a young man called ““The Kid,” working for the same company, were arrested by Constable Lou Lambert of Cripple Creek. “The Kid” | is alleged to answer the description of the man who climbed over the tender and | held up the engineer. They were taken to Cripple Creek and will be brought back for a preliminary hearing to-morrow. e T EARTHQUAKE IN COLORADO. Further Details of the Seismic Disturb- ance in Yampa Valley. DENVER, March 24.~A letter from Steamboat Springs, Colo., which is far from raflroad or felegraph lines, dated March 22, says: To-day about 1 o'clock a distinct earth- quake shock was felt in the Yampa Valley from Pleasant Valley, about twelve miles south of Steamboat Springs, to Hayden, about twenty-five miles west of the town. The shock was accompanied by a report resembling the discharge of a blast in a mine, accompanied by a long, low rum- bling sound, which is described as the breaking of ice in a river or lake. The sound was accompanied by a distinct vibration of the earth from east to west and violent enough to cause windows to jar and dishes and spoons to dance. . Found in a Barrel. LUDINGTON, March 24.—The body of 8. D. Guenette was found jammed into a barrel. His throat/had been cut. There were the prints of two different sizes of shoes In the immediate vicinity, and the WRECK AT MYSTIC, A Central Pacific Train Crashes Into Big Bowlders. VERY NARROW ESCAPE. Passengers Badly Shaken Up, but None of Them Re- ceived Injuries. CARS AND ENGINE DERAILED. Freight - Train Collision on the Southern Pacific South of Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, March 24.—An accident occurred to the eastbound overland pas- senger train 1 at 8 o’cloek last night, at Mystic, Nevada County, that would have doubtless resulted in great loss of life had the train been running at an ordinary rate of speed. As it was the engine and three cars were derailed. The train, which left Sacramento atnoon yesterday, was pulling out of Mystic sta- tion, situated twelve miles east of Truckee, and was running slowly over the switches at the end of the yard. Before speed could be attained the engine entered a deep cut and collided with some huge bowlders that had rolled down from the steep banks. The ‘ocomotive was derailed and turned completely over on its side. The engineer and fireman saved their lives by jumping. The baggage and express cars also left the track and turned crosswise in the cut, but remained upright, and the mail clerk and express messenger, although badly shaken up and bruised, were not seriously hurt. When the crash came it created the greatest consternation among the occu- pants of the various coaches, and they lost no time in stampeding for the open air. There is a heavy down grade at the place where the collision took place, and, although the engineer applied the air- brakes on perceiving the obstructions be- fore him, the impetus of the heavy train could not be checked. The accident de- layed traffic for thirteen hours. A slight rear-end collision between the two sections of a freight train occurred at Arno station, Near Elk Grove, at 4 o’clock this morning. The accident was due to a dense fog. The caboose and an empty passenger coach that were attached to the | head section were badly wrecked and the track was partially torn up. A wrecking train forwarded to the scene of the collision: from Sacramento succeeded in clearing the track by noon. PROTECTING A SEERESS. Armed Men Guarding a Woman Who Performs Miracles. EL PASO, Tex., March 24.—A dispatch from Del Norte, Mexico, says a woman call- ing herself Teresa de Covra, and claiming to perform miracles, has so excited the veople here that they are simply crazy. The Mexican Government ordered her ar- rest and the religious fanatics opposed the order, and as a result one man was killed in a fight at Mulato, and Teofilo Vasquez, the *‘Jefe Politico,” was wounded. This is the same woman who was the cause of a bloody revolt at Temochic about fourteen months ago, and which resulted in the authorities making the woman leave the country. She crossed to Nogales, Ariz., where it is claimed by the Mexicans she performed wonderful cures. She dis- appeared from Nogales and two weeks ago made her appearance in the village of El Palvo, where 400 armed men are protecting her. - Disputing Miner Killed. GUTHRIE, O.
