PLUNDERED IN A STREET CAR.

The New York Tribune says that one
of the boldest robberies which has been
noted in that city for long time was
perpetrated April Goth, in one of the
cars of the Avenue G line, near Four
teenth street. The person robbed was
VIM. T. Golden, yosng man employed
by the Agricultural Iron Works Com
pany at No. 624 East Fourteenth street.
Just before , O'Clock Golden was sent
to the Eleventh Ward Bank for money
to pay off the workmen of the company.
The amount drawn, 50, 800, was i'll bank
notes of small denominations and made
a package Of considerable size
1t was wrapped in piece
of brown paper and tied with
Irvine. Golden put the package under
his arm and took an Avenue G car,
which was well filled with passengers,
getting a seat near the front door Two
well dressed strangers got on the car
soon after Golden, and stood leaning
upon the straps. When the car reached
Fourteenth street, one of the strangers
standing near the front door, suddenly
man snatched the package Of money
from under Golden's arm and escaped
from the platform. The driver had his
hands occupied III managing his horses
and the brake, and though the alarm
was given promptly, both the men
escaped and ran down Fourteenth
street. Golden and others raised hue
and cry and gave chase. 4 wagon was
waiting a short distance from the cor
ner; the two men jumped III and were
driven away swiftly, and were lost sight
of speedily.
As further pursuit was then fruitless.
Golden FASTENED TO the company Office
and informed the manager of the rob
berry. The two came to the Police Cen
trail Office soon afterward. Superin-
tendent Waliing Immediately sent out
two detectives to work up the ease. The
superintendent said that he believed
the robbery was the result of a deeply
laid plan. The robbers stationed the
team where it might be handy, which
ever way Golden might return from
the bank. Two of them must have fol
lowed him to the bank and have seem
him draw the money. Golden took
little notice of the two men until his
bundle of money was snatched from
him, and then the whole was done so
quickly that he hardly observed how
they looked, or what clothing they
wore. The promptness with which the
wagon took up the robbers and the
rapidity with which it was driven off
utterly cut off all chance of pursuit on
foot, and no other vehicle happened to

A BRIEF AND BLOODY REVOLUTION

The following is from a Panama dis
patch dated April 26: Advices from Bo-
livia state that on the 10th of March
last, President Frias left Loapaz for
Omro, taking with him one-half of bat
talon No. l Of the line, the other half
remaining Ia Nachia. The rebel citi-
zens of Loapaz when they thought the
President far enough away, broke out
i'll a revolution. The Council of Min
listers and a small force Of young men
OF good families put themselves up III
the governors palace, determined
to resist any attack by the PEG
pie. A terrible and unyielding
struggle took place. The people on
their part, tried to set fire to the place.
Women even took on communist like
ferocity and threw burning sheets
dipped in kerosene Old the roofs. While
this was going on, messenger set off
for Nichia and informed the commander
of the battalion there of what was taking
place IN Loapaz. Senior Juan Granier,
the chief in question, at once put his
force in motion and pressed his men
over six leagues at a quick march, and
arrived at Loapaz just as the young men
who defended the government house
were about to surrender. He at once
made a charge amongst the rebel crowd,
and defeated it, with the loss of fifty
eight killed and a great number
wounded
