Stage Robbery.

SAN LUIS OBIsPo, Gala. July 2l.-
The stage running between this place and
Templeton was robbed by a masked man
last night while crossing the mountains
about five miles from here. The robber
ordered the driver to stop and immedi-
ately covered him with a revolver. He
then compelled the passengers, six in
number, and the driver to alight from the
stage, and covered the heads OF all with
masks. The passengers were placed in
a row and robbed of about $500 altogether.
There was one lady passenger, and moth
ing was taken from her. The driver was
then ordered to throw off the Wells,
Fargo's express box and the United States
mail bags. The box was chopped open
and the contents, which was supposed to
be about 81 900, was taken. The mail
was also opened and a number of letters
examined. The robber collected his
booty and disappeared up the mountain.
The sheriff and a posse are now in pur-

Cruel Treatment.

DUBLIN, July 21.-The Vaudeville in
quest was resumed to-day and a great SEN
sation caused by the evidence of Daniel
Goulding, who was formerly warden in
Tullamore Jail. Goulding deposed that
on the evening of Nov. % the governor
of the Jail said he had received orders to
strip Vaudeville, that he (witness) and
the other five wardens entered the prison
er's cell andstound him sleeping soundly;
that the chief warden shook the prisoner
rudely and aroused him; that Vaudeville
resisted, but was soon stripped naked;
that he cried, "for decency's sake to leave
me my shirt" whereupon the warden
gave him his shirt in which he lay the
rest OF the night, refusing to put on the
prison garh. Witness said he was aware
that Vaudeville had been punished for
things never before recorded in the war
den's book.

New YORK, July 2l.-The Rev. d.
c. Potter, the Baptist divine who united
the duke of Marlborough and Mrs. Ham.
mersley, to-day performed a like service
for Mrs. Fernando Yznaga, formerly Miss
Jennie Smith and a sister of Mrs. w. K.
Vanderbilt, and William G. Tiffany, who
is 43 years old, a son of Prof. Tiffany of
Harvard and nephew to August Belmont.
Mrs. Yznaga was a divorced woman and
an E~piscopalian, as is Tiffany, and hence
recourse to the same minister who helped
the divorced duke recently to wed Mrs.
HammersleY. The groom though a ma
tive Of Baltimore, has long been a resi-
dent of San Francisco, where he met Mrs,
Yznaga while she was securing her di.
vorce. Tiffany has been secretary OF the
American legation at Vienna. The mar
rage was private.

There are 100, 900 miles of railway in
the United States; 300, 900 miles of rails
in length enough to make twelve steel
girdles for the earth's circumference.
This enormous length of rail is wonder
ful-we do not really grasp its signif-
cance. But the rail itself, the little Sec
ton of steel, is an engineering feat. The
change Of its form from the curious and
clumsy iron pear head of thirty years
ago to the present refined section of steel
is a scientific development. 1t has now a
beam whose every dimension and curve
and angle are exactly suited to the ire
mendous work it has to do. The loads it
carries are enormous, the blows it re-
ceives are heavy and constant, but it car
ries the loads and bears the blows and
does its duty. The locomotive and the
modern passenger and freight cars are
great achievements, and SO is the little
rail which carries them all.-John Bo-
CART in %Scribner's Magazine.

A New Oh Find.

P~rTrsBURG, July 2l.-There is great
excitement in the oil regions over the re-
yival of the Pit Hole oil field. Pit Hole
has for nearly a quarter of a century been
considered a sucked orange" and the
oil right of LOG, 900 acres around the old
town would not have brought 800. Now
the excitement is greater there than in
any other held in the region, not except
ing Bakerstown. Black Bros. have been
pushing the drill around Pleasantville so
successfully that they have been eucour-
aged to test the old Pit Hole region, and
the result is one of the surprising things
of the oil region. In this old and long
since abandoned territory they nov have
seven wells that are good for 800 barrels a
month. There is some difference of
opinion regarding the sand, but it is prob
ably a lower horizon than the rich sand of
1865 that made Pit Hole the most famous
city in the world and gave 1t a population
of $4,000 to 5000 in a few months.
Great activity is reported in the field
among lease hunters and a large produc-
ton in this old field is expected within the
next few months.

Had a Baby in His Valise.

ToDEDo, July 2l.-Dr. II. L. Noble
of Stoney Ridge, Ohio, was arrested this
morning while on his way to the Penn
s~ylvania depot, on the charge of murder.
The valise which he carried contained the
body of an infant which had evidently
met its death but a few moments previous
ly. Coroner Roulet was summoned and
held a ~post-mortem examination, which
determined that the infants death was
caused by smothering. Later on Mrs.
Mary Hughes of l7l7 Erie street was ar
rested on a charge of murder. 1t has
been learned that Noble came to this city
Sunday with a l7-year-old girl named
Lutz, living at Swantou, twelve miles
west of Toledo. He took her to the
house of Mrs. Hughes, and last night de-
livered her of a male child. The police,
who had been suspecting something, were
standing near the house and heard the
cries of the child and the mother, who
begged that the cries might be stopped.
The Lutz girl positively refused to reveal
the name of the child's father. She will
be arrested as soon as her health will per

CHICAGO, July 2l.-1he peculiar state
of affairs developed to-day when the case
of conspiracy against Chairmen Hoge and
Murphy of the Burlington strikers was
called up in court. Neither of the ac-
cused were present and Frank Collier, at
torney for the Burlington company and
representing the prosecution, surprised
everybody in hearing by the request that
the case be continued. LAWYER Collier
explained his reason for this strange ac-
ton by saying: "Hoge and Murphy are
now out of the city on an extensive tour
doing virtually the company's work"
Counsel for the defence made no objec-
ton to the continuance and the court
granted a postponement for one week.

special to the Times says: Messrs. Hoge
and Murphy arrived here this morning
and were royalty received by the strikers
and trades unions generally. In the af-
ternoon a meeting was called, but after a
full discussion the leaders refused to give
out the action for publication and it is
generally understood that it was decided
to go on with the strike. A number of
strikers soundly berate Hoge for his stub
bornness and claim that if Arthur's ad-
vice had been followed all would have
been satisfactory.

CHICAGO, July 2l.-The cattle mar
ket has ruled about steady this week. At
the start there was a small decline in ship
ping grades, but this was. fully recovered
later on. The demand is good without
being particularly active and the moderate
daily supplies are disposed OF in good sea-
son, exporters, shippers, dressed beef and
canning firms all being fair customers.
Dressed beef men are paying about 81 90
@5. 70 for steers averaging 09l ,425
pounds, while cattle for shipment on the
hoof fetch about $4,000. 90, Their
weights ranging from l,l35 to l,460
pounds. Most of the.trading is at S4.75
@5.50 and prime heavy beeves are scarce
and nominal, average receipts grading
poorly or only indifferentlY well. Many
droves weighing from 1900 to 1,400
pounds have had to go at 1926 or below,
but'their quality was of course nothing to
boast Of. Good to choice native cattle are
not
NEARLY AS PLENTIFUL
as at a corresponding time in former
years, and it seems scarcely possible that
prices for them can materially decline.
The British markets are Just now well
supplied, but firm, and at New York
prices are quoted as tending upward"
Common report has it that one trunk line
has contracted with a leading Chicago
house to carry dressed beef to the sea-
board for a year at l34 cents.
Texans are strong and slightly higher.
The run here has been exceedingly light,
and it was said it was likely to continue
so. Texas stock raisers being discouraged
on account of the low prices ruling for
their cattle. For good Texans a good
price can be obtained, but the bulk are
going very low. There seems, however,
to be plenty ON the a now, and with
good receipts at st. Louis and Kansas
City buyers do not worry, knowing the
largest part of these will eventually find
their way to Chicago. Still commission
men who have customers engaged in rails
ing Northern rangers are predicting that
good Westerns will sell .75(@1.00
HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR.
but confess doubt as to whether the early
or late market will be best. Late sales of
Texans run from 81. so to SIS. Is for poor
cows to extra steers.
Native butchering stuff has been helped
by the shortage in the supply of rangers.
An active demand from Gamers cleaned
up the poorer sorts at stronger prices and
good qualities have held their own right
along. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that no advance in common natives
is likely to hold long at this time of the
year.
Stockers and feeders remain dull at
prices which are very unsatisfactory to
sellers. The offerings are notably light
so is the demand.
