San Francisco Nov. os.-J. p. Hume special agent
for Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express Company, after
months of careful Investigation has established the
fact that the recent series OF stage robberes in Cali
fornia by highwayman IS the work Of ''Black Bart
the notorious stage rObber WHO released from State
prison last January after spending years behind
the bars This man. whose real IS Bolles is the
daring and successful of all the knights of the
road" who have operated this coast. He perpera-
ted thirty robberies before he captured and
his arrest was only mere accident II his
rob stages which he knew carried bullion or
coin for Wcs-Fargo. He equipped with
strong pair of field glasses, though which he could
learn whether armed express messengers we're on
board or not II there only the driver he halted
the coach. He frequently held up outfits in which
there were six eight but he showed such nerve
and cat-like agility that one dared to attack him.
He would promptly 60 though passengers, with great
politeness, and usually would return their jeWelTy
and trlnkets TO women. He would then break open
the treasure box rip open the mail bags and disap
pear with their contents After the first few robberes
he began to leave bits Of doggerel verse, rdiculing
the efforts of the eectves, and signed Black Bart
the Posi-
In 1883. after robblng stage near Nevada City,
he accidentally left of his cuffs by broken express
box The Chinese laundry mark was the clcw which
led Barts arrest in this city. 1t was found that
he had como to san Francisco regularly after each
robbery ana lived Ill conlpTt OH lHo mVHVS H' ~
cured He was known here Bolton, mining man,
and his freouen: trips into The country ascrbed
to mining expeditions. Bart was convicted and was
sent TO san Quentin for seven years His term eX-
pred last January He had be ,ome & 'od chemist
while I'm prison. and declared that he was going to
lead an honest life and return to his old home In
Missouri These professions, Detective Hume says,
were false as Bart cOldy refused to have anything
to do with HIS deserted wife, who was forced to go
out TO service in Hannibal No. TO support her three
daughters. on July Il he committed the first of
OF six stage robberes by lone highwayman in
the northern part OF California. The heaviest haul
made by the robber was near Downesville, where he
secured gold bullion worth 5000 Hume asserts
that there is doubt that this hghwayman is again
waging war upon the express companies The officers
have no cew to him, but from the full descriptions
they possess, they hope soon TO capture him This
noted highWayman Is man OF slender build, sharp
features and low, gentle voice. In the state prison
he secured much sympathy because of his gentle
manners and good conduct but the detectives say he
is a cold blooded criminal.

OFFERING TO BUILD BIG STEAMSHIPS
LONDON FIRMS WHO PROPOSE TO CROSS THE
ATLANTIC IN FIVE DAYS.

Montreal Nov. % (speciaD.-The firms OF Anderson
& Anderson & Co., and +. Green g. Co., of London,
proprietors of the Orient Line have renewed their
offer to the Dominion Government to carry the
Canadian mails. They offer to build three express
steamers Of 1900 tons each, to steam not less than
twenty knots an hour, and to make the passage be-
tween Halifax and Plymouth in five days and TO
Rlmouski in five six hours longer time. The
steamers will be the most expensive that can be built
and VIII in beauty and convenience supass the Umbria
and Etruria of the Cunald Line. In their offer the
firms show that while in 1882 4,086 cabin passengers
were brought to Montreal this number had fallen OF
IN 1855 TO 2,744, and only had increased last year
because of the lines carried passengers to
Montreal for the price TO Quebec. This state
of affairs they say caused by steamers landing
in New-York being much more convenient, and
they will try TO remedy IL by their new hne which
will be an entirely independent one.
