BRIGANDAGE IN TURKEY.
AN EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED BY
A BAND OF ROBBERS.
Wealthy German Passengers Taken Cap
tive and Held for Ransom-Chancellor
Caprivi Orders the Money Paid Over.

CoNsTANrNoPLE, June Ia party of
brigands near Tchereskei yesterday
placed Instructions across the railroad
track and derailed the eastern express.
The place where the act of brigandage
occurred lies between this city and
Adrianople. The band numbered thirty
men, led by the noted robber Anastasius.
When the express reached the spotwhere
the rails were removed, the engine tum-
bled over on its side, dragging with it
the tender, baggage car and all the
third-class passenger coaches. The
firstrclass passenger cars, luckily, did
not follow the other part of the train,
sbut remained safely on the track.
81 When the train was disabled the
brigands rushed forward uttering loud
yells and brandishing guns in threat
ening manner, and boarded the cars.
Several alpassengers resisted the attack and
one man was dangerously wounded.
When the brigands had ended their
work of robbery, they seized Oscar
Greger, Herr Israel, a banker of sBerlin;
Herr Maguel, land owner OF Bavaria;
Herr Oscar Kotysch, of Zorbig, Prussian
Saxony, and Freudiger, the engineer of
the train. r, 9~
The brigands demanded $4,000 as a
ransom for the captives, and Chancellor
Won Caprivi telegraphed the German
ambassador here authorizing him to ad-
vance the amount. The remaining pas
sengers were despoiled of their belong
ings and then left alone. S'

THE HALE MURDER TRIAL.
The Details OF the Cowardly Crime Re-
lated in Court.

lat0O IN COurt.
MERGED, CAL, June 1.-The taking of
testimony in the Hale murder case COM
menced this morning. County Surveyor
Robinson testified as to the location of
the house where the tragedy took place.
Perry Mcdowell, husband of the MUIR
dered woman, said he had been married
three years had boy years old. His
wife's mother, Mrs. Middleton. lives
about fifteen miles from his house; he
took his wife there to visit, about De-
cember 25th last. She was murdered
January 9Th. His wife had received
threatening letters from Hale's wife.
Witness was here excused from the
stand to hunt up the letters, that they
may be read to the jury.
j. S. Middleton, brother of the MUIR
dered woman, described the incident at
the house the night of the murder. He
said the family were sitting in the par
lor after supper. Lottie, the murdered
woman, was sitting near the stove with
her little two-year-old son leaning on
her lap, watching her make picture
shadows on the wall for his amusement
Others of the family were watching her
also, when the assassin fired the shot
that ended the young mothers life.
When the shot was heard the family
thought something had exploded. They
saw Lottie fall, and ran and picked her
up. They saw then that she was shot.
Her mother swooned, and it was several
minutes before any one thought of look
ing for the murderer. When they did
he could not be found, but tracks were
discovered leading to Hale's house. He
testified also to seeing Hale near the
scene of the murder that day.

REFUSED A Jury.
Judge Smith Uphoids a Ruling of
the Police Court.

tne Folice Court.
As stated in the HERALD several
weeks ago, Judge Smith, after long de-
liberation, prepared decision in regard
to the Sunday-closin cases appealed to
the superior court, refusing to grant the
appellants new trial. The cases were
taken up because the police Justices re-
fused to grant the defendants Jury
trial, which, they claim, is a constitu-
tional right which cannot be impaired.
Judge Smith, however, holds that they
are not entitled to jury trial in the
police courts under the Whitney act,
and the judgment OF the lower court is
therefore sustained.
The particular case decided was that
Of the People vs. Bell, the defendant
being bartender in the Palace saloon.
Although the decision was written sew
eral weeks ago, and it's purport was at
the time published in the HERALD,
Judge Smith did not hand it down till
Yesterday, having held it to get the con-
currence of the other superior Judges.
His views were found to coincide with
those of the rest of the judges when the
decision was submitted to them, and
the document has now the signatures of
the entire court.
This ruling will make the enforcement
of the Sunday law a much easier task
for the police.

ONCE A REDONDO SWELL.
Now Under Arrest as Hotel
Blk.

Dix.
C. D. Watson, dashing young Cana
dian, has come to grief. Watson did
the grand for several weeks, but he is
destined to pay dearly for his shine.
He put up at the Redondo hotel and
hobnobbed with the elite of Southern
California. Watson did not have as
much money as some of the guests, but
he got along famously. He made the
heart Of many young debutante palpi-
tate as he paraded the sands in his
tight-ftting bathing suit and he had a
slashing good time, but when the day of
reckoning came he did not have the
wherewithal to liquidate, 80 he disap-
peared without consulting the cashier.
Special Officer Methvin was given a
pointer, and yesterday he captured
Watson at San Pedro, just as he was
about to embark to some other cline.
The former guest at the seaside hotel
was escorted back to Redondo with the
constable at that point.
Watson feels his position very keenly.
He comes from an eminentlv respect
able family. He is we'll known in this
city, having been collector for the Los
Angeles Fishing company for some time.
1t appears that after leaving the aristo-
cratic shadows of the big hotel he hid
himself in tent occupied by some
fishermen. Here he remained for four
or five days, when he walked across the
rough country fran Redondo to San
Pedro.

How Colonel Higgins was EN-
phatically Squelched.
Secretary of State Waite has two OF
his daughters in his Office at Sacra-
mento, and they of course speak OF their
chief as "Papa," which fact explains
the following clipping from the Wave OF
Saturday:
Zone day recently, an official went
into the governors Office and asked
Colonel Higgins, the handsome and
affable private secretary, for some docu-
ment or other. 'Oh,' remarked the
colonel with a smile, you can get that
in Papa Waite's Office
within an hour somebody had re-
ported the colonel's facetious observa-
tion to one of the Misses Waite.

cided and emphatic falling infection to
the word, Il did not know that an in
mate of that Home for the Feeble
Minded could get off anything as good

In pnrts OF the Hanlsow district opium
is used as medium Of exchange, aud
tho Consul there explains the curious
circumstance in this way Commerce.,
EXCEPT along the water routes, is IN a
primitive condition. The great weight
Of the copper coinage renders it insult
able for exchange. Silver, which is
used in the small towns, is used in bulk
by weight. 1t is melted into Jumps OF
varying purity and weight. The most
penarally used vary from sixty-eight
to seventy ounces each The inconven-
fence OF dividing il is serious drawback
10 its being used in the country, as IS
also the difficulty Of testing its ppreness.
The credit Of the native bankers Is not
widely enough established TO give an ex-
tended currency to their notes. Under
these conditions opium is found useful,
in addition to pure barrier, which still
prevails to some extent, IN facilitating
the exchange OF commodities. In this
respect il has three advantages--it is al
most universally in demand, it Is hghi
and portable, and it is easily divided
into small quantities. London TINS.
