Women Street Car Conductors.

at is amusing to watch stranger on
one of the street cars in Valparaiso, " said
Bishop II. c. Riley, of Santiago, Chill,
who recently arrived in this city, as he
was speaking of the customs of his
native country the other day. THE
stranger first gazes all around for the
conductor, and then look of surprise
steals over his face as he sees a pretty
young woman coming down the aisle
and collecting the fares. The fact is
that in the recent wars in which Chill
has been engaged sll of the able-bodiej
men, including conductors, were pressed
into service. The conductors places had
to be supplied by girls They made
themselves so popular that, although
the men have since been mustered out Of
service, the girls have continued to hold
their positions as conductors. "-Nslo

The Belgian Horse

The Belgian is one of the largest Of
draft horses. Belgium and Flanders
have long been celebrated for the I'M
mense proportions oil their draft horses.
They are said to have been known sinca
the time of C9sar. The Flanders mares
were celebrated hundreds OF years ago in
Eng aud, and have assisted materially in
the improvement of the English breeds
of draft horses. The Belgian Govern
ment has carefully fostered these horses,
and, although among the largest Of
draft breeds. they are not considered
thoroughbreds, in the sense the term is
now used In this country they are
more properly considered as cOngeners
of the French draft, or Normans, rathes
than as being distinct breed but the
probability is they are. older than ting
modern horse of Normandy, and that
they have assisted in breeding weight N

EXCITING SCENES IN COURT.

Eight of the McCIellaudtown bandits OF
Trial-Old Man Yoder's Thrilling Tssti
mony.
SOMERSET, Pa, May 2O.-The court
room was crowded to-day when the tria,
Of eight Of the alleged Mcolellandtowr
bandits was called. Hundreds ofpeopls
came from all parts Of the county
and interest was intense. The
prisoners brought into court
were Charles j. Lewis, Jackson P
Sullivan, Marshall Sullivan, Doc Tasker
Grant Dean, William Hill, ]. Thomas
and O. Andrews. They were indicted
for the robbery Of old man Yoder, who,
with his wife and young lady member
OF the family, 1t will be remembered,
we're 80 terribly tortured by the gang ol
outlaws.
AFTER the selection Of a jury the pros
ecution opened their case. It was
claimed that evidence would be pro.
duced that Lewis and Tasker visited
Yoder's residence few days before the
robbery TO acquaint themselves with the
house, and that when arrested they were
In possession OF various articles taken
from MIR. Yoder.
Miss Ella Baker, one OF the victims
detailed the circumstances OF the robbery
and identified Robert Tasker and the two
Sulliyans Us the robbers. She also
identified some Of the property found al
the Hill house.
Old Mr.. Yoder then took the stand
and told the story OF the outrage. He
related how he had been forcibly and
and roughly taken 10 the barn, twice
hung up 10 a beam and a lighted
candle placed To his fingers and
toes to compel him To tell the supposed
hiding place Of his money. When the
large, rough rope with its moose and knot
that were thrust into the old mani
mouth were produced, thrill rar
through the audience, but when tht
simple minded, plainly clad ole
Dunkard adjusted the rope around his
neck and showed by practical demon
stration the 6endlsh actions OF The
gang, the audience climbed upon tht
chairs and the back Of the benches Il

this point the excitement was 80 intense
in the court room that the prisoner
Quailed with fear lest there might be {
prompt lynching. The trial will bl

The Question of tho Whereabouts Of
the Books of the Land League,
Great Storms in Australia,
Budget ofgOreIgn News,

LONDON, May 2O,- Maurice Healy,
member Of Parliament for Cork, was a
witness before the Parnell Commission
to-day, He admitted that the Cork
branch OF the League had received appll-
cations from other branches for lists Of
merchants who were members OF the
League, in order that other merchants
might be bOycotted. Mr., Healy held
that It was legitimate to place such a
pressure upon shopkeepers,
Mr., Joseph Biggar, member Of Parlla-
meat for West Gayan, that he had been
member Of the Supreme Council OF the
Fenian Brotherhood, but had been ex-
PEELED in 1877 for advocating constitu.
tional action, He Joined the Land
League in 1870. He declared that the
meaning Of the speech he had made at
Cork In the spring OF 1880, In which he
referred to the anarchist, Hartman, as
having imitators in Ireland, had been
misunderstood. As a fact, he had only
warned the supporters OF whiggish can.
didates that the disgust OF the people
was likely to result In the use OF dyna-
mite, In q subsequent speech at Castle
town he had advised the people TO take
care that the land they occupied should
be OF no value to land grabbers. He had
further said that 1t was no part OF the
Leagues duty to recommend'the shoot
Ing Of landlords, but 1t was It's duty TO
defend anybody charged with shooting
landlords or their agents. He had said
this because no confidence was placed
In the administration Of the law, and he
had held that the League ought TO de-
fend prisoners whose crimes were the
outcome Of bad laws. He and Patrick
Egan were. trustees Of the funds OF the
League. lie could not associate either
Egan or Sheridan with outrages.
Mr.. Bggar said he had contributed
nothing to the Fenian funds. His OBJ
ject in Joining the Brotherhood was to
obtain Its assistance in Parliamentary
elections. Sir Henry James, for the
Times, cross.examined Mr.. Biggar. Wit
ness said he never took part in the work
Of the Leagues treasurer. He never
drew a check or saw a bank note. He
was naturally indolent and left the work
to Others. He did not know where the
record OF the money dealings Of
the League was kept, nor did he even
know why he had been associated with
Egan as treasurer. Just before the sup
preston OF the Land League most OF tic
books were removed.
Thirty.two books had been handed 10
Mr.. Seames, solicitor for the Times.
Presiding Judge Hannen remarked that
this was the first time he heard about
these books. Sir Henry James said that
II was mistake; there were no such
books in Mr.. Seames possession. Mr..
Biggar said that all the important books
Of the League had been removed to Eng;
land, They were very bulky. He did
not know that any Of the books had been
destroyed. He had not the slightest no.
ton OF what had become Of the missing
documents.
