maliciously, meaning to impute to her q
want of chastity, and in so doing caused
her to be Stunned by the residents of her
place of abode and by her former friends

was in the employ of Mr.. Church as book
keeper and amanuensis.

telegram of March 3th says: Minister Swift
buried. Greatest honor. State funeral by
the Government of His Imperial Majesty.
Any further information win be sent you az
soon as received.
SEvELLoN A. BROWN, Chief Clerk.
Mr.. Morrow said to-day that this seems
to indicate that the customary national
etiquette is being observed. The phrase
buried means undoubtedly temporary
disposition of the casket in vault. 1t is
customary where diplomatic represent
ative dies abroad for the Government of
the country to which he is accredited to
offer to send home the remains in state.
1t is very likely that this will be done in
this instance. Mr.. Morrow thinks that
the dispatch to the State Department will
be followed by letter from the Japanese
Government rendering an escort of a war
vessel to this country. For this reason it
is unlikely that the remains will arrive on
the next steamer from Japan, but letter
from the Japanese Department of Foreign
Affairs, addressed to the Secretary of
State, will probably arrive at that time.

STAGE RoBBER CAPTURED.

He is Believed to be the Party Who
Held Up the Weaverville Stage.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-A Chronicle
special from Los Angeles says: Henry
Miller has been arrested by United States
Marshal George E. Gard, and is now in
Jail in this city. He is wanted for robbing
and rifiing the United States mail, and is
believed to be the party who held up the
stage running from Redding to Weaver
vile on March 7th last, and shot the
driver in the elbow because he refused to
obey his command to halt. The same
man held up the same stage on the 18th at
the same place, and robbed the box and
mail.
Miller has long record of criminal
deeds, extending back over period OF
ten years. He is said to have been lone
stage robber since 1888. Miller was
jailed, but on the same night that he was
captured he made his escape by filing the
chains that bound the iron on his legs,
and for one hundred miles walked with
them still on. He finally succeeded in
| escaping to Texas, In 1883 he turned up
in Arizona, and committed several rob-
berries. He was arrested, pleaded guilty,
and was sentenced to serve twelve years
at Yuma. He was pardoned and came to
this city, and followed the vocation of
cane maker, which trade he had learned
in the penitentiary.
On February 18th he left the city, say
ing he was going to Santa Barbara. About
March 1st Marshal Gard learned that
Miller was wanted for robbing the mail,
when he stopped the Florence stage in
1888. On the I'D inst. Miller returned to
this city and was Immediately arrested
and jailed.
| The circumstances point Enthusiastically
to the fact that Miller is the lone high
wayman who held up the Watsonville
stage on the 7th and 10th inst. When he
left Los Angeles he had about $40, and
when he returned in his pockets were
found three pieces of retort gold and five
or six nuggets or chispas, worth about
$50. He had a Colts revolver and car
tridges.
He claims that for four weeks he has
been working for friend in Ventura, but
declined to give the name of the friend.
He never has been to Santa Barbara. The
party who did the Weaverville job oper-
ated the same as Miller always has in the
past.
| Miller will be returned to Arizona
| Tuesday to answer to the Federal law.

Riley returned to this city this morning.
and was soon after arrested on a warrant
sworn to by Thomas Farrell charging
him with embezzlement. Two years ago
Farrell was Postmaster at Marysville
and Riley was chief deputy. The office
was conducted in very loose manner,
and Riley suddenly skipped,
An examination by the Postof1ice In
spector showed a deplorable condition of
affairs. The shortage was variously esti-
mated at between 500 and $1,000, which
Farrell and his bondsmen made good.
Other offices were concerned, as Riley
had borrowed stamps from Yuba City,
Gridley, Colusa and Red Bluff.
Riley had not been heard of until his
return this morning. He said he went to
Mexico, where he stayed some time, and
then went to Los Angeles. While there
he was stricken with paralysis. When
sufficiently recovered he resolved to re-
turn to MarySville and clear himself. He
denies taking more than SS5, which he
says was his own money. He said tho
office was run very loosely, and that Far
rell was in the habit of taking what
money he wanted out of the safe without
making any record of it. He was utterly
incapable of conducting the business of
the office himself.
Farrell claims Riley was in arrears
$500, and that additional charges viii be
made against him upon the arrival of the
United States Marshal tomorrow.
