BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. The Men Who Stole a Trunk in Au- gust Arrested Last Evening.


 James w. Donshus and Joseph B. Dolan, freight brakemen on the Consolidated road, and Fred F. Mitchell and James Mitchell, his father, were arrested yester- day by Detective Reilly and Officers Tighe and Bradley for the theft of a trunk from the New Haven depot last August. On August 10 Willard NJ. Gsrvey of 191 Canal street checked trunk to New Haven on the train which arrives here at 6:50. The trunk contained @ diamond stud, tennis racquet and articles of apparel of consider able value. When the trunk was called for by the owner it was not to be found, and the company paid Mir. Garvey for the lost article. Suspicion was aroused against the men who were arrested from hints that were thrown out by employees. Dolsn was at the time in the hospital, and for that and other reasons the case was not worked up until yesterday when Detective Reilly was sent for with the above result. Young Mitchell assists in the baggage room at the depot from to 9 p. ID. and then sweeps up around the station It seems
 that the truck had during these hours been l carried out and loaded on a wagon which Mitchel's father, who seems to be the ring
 leader of the gang, had provided, and as | they were officials of the company, no sus- | picion had been aroused at the time. So | far as is known this is the only theft com mitted by these men from the railroad. James Mitchell is now serving 8 term in | jail for breach of peace, drunkenness and | resistance to arrest. The railroad com | psny speak in the highest terms of the eI- | ceIlent manner in which Sergeant Reilly | conducted the case.

HELD AS SLAVES HIN THE SOUDAN. Escape of Christian Missionaries Cap- tured by the MahdT's Followers in lSS3-Pursued by Arabs.

tured by the Mahdps Followers in
 1SS3-Pursued by Arabs.
 CAIRO, Dec. 14.-At the time of the re- volt against Egyptian authority in the Sou dan, the followers of the Mahdi took pris- oners a number of priests and nuns who had been working in that country for the evangelization of the natives. Since that
 time many stories have been received re garding the treatment which these prison
 CTS received at the hands of their captors.
 It was said that the men were absolute
 slaves and were compelled to perform the most menial services for their taskmasters, while the women met worse fate, being parcelled out among the chiefs.
 Among those who thus fell into the hands of the rebels in 1883 were the mem bers of the Austrian Soudan mission, who were captured when Ko-dofan was taken by the hordes of the Mahdi. After their capture they were taken to Omdurman, l where they were held close prisoners. | Among those taken prisoner were Father Ohrwalder and Sisters Csterina, Chincari- na, Elizabeth and Venturini.
 For eight years they awaited an oppor- l tunity to make their escape, and at last it came. They took advantage of it, and set | out on their journey towards civilization.
 They were pursued by the Arabs, but | managed to elude them, and finally reached
 Korosko, near Wady-Halfa, where they were safe from recspture. They were | greatly exhausted by their journey across l the desert.

AT ODDS WITH BULGARIA..

French Diplomatic Relations Broker OH-The Trouble Caused by the Ex. pulsion of a Newspaper Man From Bulgaria.
 SOFIA, Dec. 14.-The French diplomatic agent here has broken of his relations
 with the Bulgarian government in conse.
 quence of the refusal of the Bulgarian au.
 thorities to accede to the demand of France
 that journalist named Chadouine, who
 was recently expelled from the country, be allowed to return.
 The French charge d'affaires, M. Lanel, in note to the Bulgarian government, protested against the expulsion of Chado- uine as a fragrant and premeditated viola tion of the treaties between France and Bulgaria. The Bulgarian government re- piled that Chadouine had been systemat- ically sending to the French press lying and caluminating stories about Bulgaria, that he had twice before been threatened with expulsion, but had continued to throw discredit upon Bulgaria abroad and to cre- ate trouble within the country; that the expulsion was not violation of treaties, as there were none in existence that applied to foreigners who interfered in the inter nal politics of Bulgaria; and that the Bull garian government was unable to rescind the order of expulsion, but hoped that the incident would not disturb the good rels- tions existing between Bulgaria and France. Thereupon M. Lanel proceeded to the foreign ministry and announced that he had received instructions from the French government to sever diplomatic re- lations with Bulgaria.
 The event has caused great uneasiness in political circles

THE BoMB-THRowER,s BRAIN,

Coroner Messemer Makes Public His
 Examination-A Scarcity of Gray
 Matter.
 NKwYo YoRK, Dec. 14.-Coroner Messemer made public to day the result of the e1- animation made by him and other physi- clans upon the brain of the bomb-thrower The report states that the left lobe was smaller than the right. There was a noticeable scarcity of gray matter through out the brain generally and it varied from five to seven inches in thickness in most of the convolutions. At the back of the | head the dura matter had a swollen and dropsical appearance as if blown up. Two folds of the brain on the left side were | completely atrophied. The involutions, l called 'ssulci" which wind between the folds of the brain on the left were un- naturally shallow and many other DOT tions of the cerebrum were undersized. As as result of the examination it was con. ceded by the physicians that the bomb
 thrower was of unsound mind for a pro
 tracted period and that his insanity wal
 not sudden development. The dyna
 miter's brain weighed 1,210 grammes, ol
 three ounces below the average. Wher
 the brain sufficiently hardens microscopic
 examination will be made of it by the ex
 perts.

Worrell, jr., came acquainted with Mrs. Barnaby last l January when she arrived in this city with l Mrs. Worrell, ST., on her trip to Cali fornia. She next saw her in April when she returned from California. Witness remembered the arrival of the deadly bot tie at her house but could not say that she had seen it before. She thought, however, it contained whisky for she heard some one say so. While Mrs. Barnaby was at her house she. the witness, her hus- Worrelps ranch, near Morrison. She spent the time at the ranch in the house. Mrs. Worrell, ST., was not very hungry and she did not eat much but Mrs. Barnaby seemed to be very hungry and ate hearty meal. She remembered this trip we'll be- cause that night both ladies were taken ill and she was questioned by the physi- cians. The party returned from the ranch about 6 o'clock that night. Mr. Worrell stopped at the office to get his mail. When witness and he arrived home the two ladies were very ill. They asked Mrs. Worrell what was wrong. She re- piled that Mrs. Barnaby had mixed two whiskey toddies and they had drank them and had become ill Mrs. Worrell was 1o;, L up." A few minutes later Mrs. Barnaby was taken sick with the same symptoms. She told witness that she was never so sick in her life, and added: "Oh, I drank from the bottle, too."
 The next day Mrs. Barnaby appeared brighter. Witness asked her if she rec ognized the handwriting on the bottle and she said ''no."
 Then witness asked her if she suspected the Bennetts, and she repeated ''no.'
 She asked her if she thought Dr. Graves had sent it, and Mrs. Barnaby was silent
 Judge Macon moved that all this be stricken out, but Judge Rising overruled his motion.
 Witness knew Dr. Graves, and saw him first on the Friday following Mrs. Bsrna- by's death at her home. He entered her parlor and she asked him if he was Dr. Graves. He replied: "Yes."
 Then he continued: 1T missed every connection tried to make, and in Chicago I was half sick"
 "You know that she is dead!" witness continued.
 "Yes," the doctor replied 'I suppose she died of a shock, and Mrs. Graves and I made up our minds what it was"
 "No," the witness returned, ''she died of something more dreadful" and then sat down and told him all about the package, and added that the doctors said the bottle must have contained poison. She told him the bottle had come from Boston, and that when it was opened Mrs. Barnaby thought it came from the Bennetts
