AUBURN, CAL, Nov. 4.-The examina
ton of A. e. and F. ]. Roberts, on a
charge of train wrecking in connection
with the accident near Colfax, October
II, was commenced today before Justice

Towne, of the Southern Pacific, and a
number of railroad employees testified

fish-plates from the rails. Roberts
house is a short distance from the scene
of the wreck and one witness testified to
seeing AL Roberts at the sleeping-car
Santa Cruz, where it lay in the ditch.

Train nobbery i'm Nebraska.

OMAHA, Nov. 4.-The Kansas City ex-
press train on the Missouri Pacific road,
was held up by six masked men about
10 O'Clock last night, one mile west of
West Side, eight miles from this city.
At that point the train had to stop be-
fore crossing the Fremont, Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley tracks. Two of the.
men boarded the engine, and with
cooked revolvers commanded Engineer
Hall to get off the engine. The others
boarded the express car, and, upon being
refused the keys to the box, proceeded
to break it open with tools which they
had secured from section house.
While two of the men worked on the
strong box, the others compelled the
passengers to keep their seats. The
thieves secured about $500 from the
safe and then getting off, ordered the
train to pull out. They then disap-
peared in the darkness. The sheriff and
police are out after them.

Reports Believed sensational.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-Conficting dis
patches are arriving here from Rio Ja-
Metro. 1t was first reported that the
Brazilian congress had resolved that a
necessity existed for the proclamation
of martial law, and the dictatorship
should be established. This cablegram
was followed by one which stated that
the congress. had been dissolved, and
that the city of Rio Janeiro and the.
province had been placed under the
operation of martial law. In this city
both reports are considered as being
highly colored.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 6.-In an in
terview on the recent elections, Senator
Sherman said: SIN the first place so
far as the republican party is concerned,
the result in Ohio fixes the silver ques-
ton as one Issue of the next presidents
contest, and decides it so far as this state
is concerned. / am convinced that free
coinage will be passed by the congress
which assemblies in December. / also
believe that such bill will be vetoed by
President Harrison. That will naturally
make free silver feature of the next
presidential fight. In fact it will be the
leading issue, upon which there is a vast
difference of opinion in both parties.
.'It is exactly like tariff-local condi-
tons and interest govern the sentiment
and action. l doubt very much whether
the democracy in the national conven-
ton will proclaim for free coinage. If
they should there will be no other issue
of any significance in the next cam paign.
The financial battle that we fought in
Ohio will then be transferred to the
nation and contests such as we have
never seen will be the result. The tariff
will be Appointment but not vital point
in the contest. The tariff question is
practically settled for the time being
but -ftwfl always be a source of agitation
as long ast the government lasts. During
the next session of congress it can hardly
be considered, but in the next campaign
it will be the leading issue with silver. .

day, that l have never since sat down to
a Christmas dinner without my thoughts

Some authorities seem to regard the
grazing of the hair as a mechanical and
incidental phenomena due to defective
functions, and others regard it as an or
ganic or chemical process. The location
and character of the coloring substance
in the hair is also a question about which
authorities differ greatly. Watts ''Dio-
tionary of Chemistry" also DR.. Bichat
and DR.. Draper, have advanced the view
that the color is in the central portion of
the hair, while no less an authority
than Culver asserts quite the reverse,
that the peripheral portion contains the
color. Other authorities, as Drs. Car
penter, Todd and Bowman, state that the

PTTTsBURd. Pa, Aug. 5.-Sidney
Brooks, the famous lock -picker, has
been arrested for stealing a suit Of clothes
from Charles Hood. a Baltimore & Ohio
railroad engineer. 1t was taken from a
becker under a cabseat. Hood was &C,
quaintsd with Brooks and allowed him
to sleep in his engine after the fire had
been drawn. Brooks Is a genius. He
is known in almost every city in the
United States. Several years ago bis
fame as a lock expert reached the in
ventor oft burglar proof door and window
lock at Irwin, Pa. Brooks was employed
as his general agent. He travelled and
gave nightly exhibitions of his skill at
opening locks. He certainly displayed
wonderful. genius. On one occasion he
put up 800 in cash on his buggy seat
that he could open any difficult lock,
using only toOthpicks. Big and little
locks were handed him in rapid success.
sion. lie did what he said. Careful
people concluded that their homes we're
not safe. and his burglar blank-cartridge
locks sold 50 fast that be admitted next
day that he was tired in the arms from
handing them out and changing money.
Then Brooks saw a chance for larger
speculation. He laid out territories in
the different states and counties.
These he sold in blocks for 5000, $500,
and as high as $500. Capitalists in
the county sent out men, but their
trial proved that they could not talk locks
or sell them like Brooks. In a few
weeks time lock territories were for sale
away below par, and the contracts we're
laid quietly away. 1t is estimated that
in the two towns of Sharpsburg and Etna
Brooks disposed of some $I3. 900 worth
Of territorial rights. The street lectures
of Brooks were followed by numerous
small robberies. The tough element
thought 1t was a snap to pick locks. The
people thought that Expert Brooks had
no business to give out such information
pertaining to his private business. No
suspicion however. rested on Brooks as
being connected with these visits, but his
lectures we're severely condemned.
Brooks cut quite a swell during his "a
reer of success in various towns. He
dressed deliberately, and exhibited on the
lett breast of his purple velvet vest a
jeweled model presented him by the Irwin
lock irm. An inscription on this stated
that he was the champion lock expert.
1t would be safe to say that Brooks
earnings amounted to $4,000 during his
career. covering six years, of which
amount he has nothing left. He owned
valuable property in this county, but he
says this he lost. He is single. Drink
caused all his troubles.
