VICTORIA.

Victoria takes precedence Of all the
other colonies in the enormous in
crease in her revenue in spite of the
bad season she has lately gone
through. At the end of the financial
year it Is estimated that her revenue
will be over $500, 600 in excess Of ex-
penditure which is almost unparal-
leled in colonies whose expenditure
on public works is necessarily so
great as IL those Of Australia where
so much of the country Is as vet
undeYeloped. This satisfactory re
suit IS attributable no doubt in Z
great measure to the Exhibition
held IN Melbourne in honor Of the
centenary OF the founding Of the
first Australian colony. This Elk
hibition, the arrangements for which
have been carried out on lavish
scale, has filed the capital Of Vic
tOria with visitors from all parts Of
the world for the greater part Of the
year, and though it is estimated that
there viii actually be a pecuniary
loss on the Exhibition itself, never
theless the corresponding increase
to the revenue, and the amount Of
extra money put into circulation in
Melbourne and its suburbs. will
more thar counterbalance It. 4
"land BOOM" probably the outcome
OF the general prosperity, set in some
time ago, and landed property Of all
kinds was readily bought and sold
at high prices, but the "boo1n" has
now somewhat abated, as the ineyi-

Contrary to the common belief, II Is said
by those who ought TO know that 10 re-
uun-es much more skill to run freight than
it does passenger train. or course, there
is not so much responsibility resting upon
the engineer of "a freight train as there
would be had he the lives of hundreds Of
passengers in his keeping, but still there
are the lives of his fellow-employes, and he
has far less appliances for protecting his
train from disaster. One of the things that
calls iato play the most skill and the best
Judgment of the engineers of n freight
train is the guarding against breaking the
train in two, for in case of such an accident
there is always the danger that the de-
tached portion may run back into some
train behind, or it may crash into the for
ward part when II stops. Another thing
requiring good Judgment is keeping out OF
the way of passenger trains, which, OF
course, usually have the right OF way. So
well il the fact recognized that a freight

THE CALIFORNIA TRAIN ROBBERY.

TULARE, Cal, Feb. 25.-On the receipt
of intelligence Saturday night of train
robbery at Pixley, special car was at
once ordered to carry officers to the scene
OF the robbery, and in a short time ten
officers were on the ground where the
tragedy had taken place. A pool Of fresh
blood was found several yards from the
track where one Of the unfortunate pas
sengers had been shot down. There were
indications that horses had recently been
hitched to one CT the telegraph poles near
by. Two tramps were found, who told the
following story:
1--WE were waiting for the train to ride
to PiXley, and saw two more men who
seemed to be waiting for a train. We
went up and talked to them. They acted
in a peculiar manner 1t was so dark that
we could not tell how they looked, but
think both were good-sized men. Both
wore overcoats and wore white shirts. One
had clothes strongly pertumed; both had
shot2uns, Oh what appeared to us TO be
shotguns. They asked us where
was good place to get on
the train We told them and asked
them where they were going. They said
to Delano to shoot jack rabbits. We asked
them what was the matter with shooting
jack rabbits at PiXley. One of them said
he had ranch at Delano. Just then the
train came along and the men jumped on
the front part of the ngine."
One of the tramps continued: "Some-
thing seemed TO warn nae that all was not
right As the train passed third man
jumped out from somewhere and boarded
one of the passenger cars. felt
uneasy and walked over to the depot ana
told some one what happened. | was only
laughed at, but it was not long till we
heard what had happened"
The tramp who was riding on the bag
gage car said: THE train commenced to
slow up when we got short distance be
yond Pixley. When it had nearly stopped
| discovered there was trouble of some
kind and jumped off. When they COM
menced shooting ran and jumped fence
and laid down in a field near by. |
heard some one say, My God, | am
killed." when the shooting commenced
and then | heard an explosion OF some
kind. When the robbers had gone, /
slipped out and went among the passen-
gers. One of the men shot had his shirt
torn all to pieces with buckshot. The
train backed to Pixley, when one of the
passengers claimed he saw Il man fall a
short distance from the track. The train
went back and we searched for the man.
We soon found him. He had evidently
been instantly killed. The shot entered
near the temple. lie had ticket for
Poso."
From the people of Pixley and other
sources it was learned that as soon as the

taken is varl0usly estim0 ted, some placing
it at from $4,000 TO S60,000 Men are
searching the country, though there is no
clue as to the direction taken by the rob-
hers
