REDDING, Oct 26.-Since the arrest OF
man and boy on suspicion of robbing the
Redding and Weaverville stage on Monday
night week ago, the officers have been
searching for evidence and laying traps to
make the lad confess. The boy is only 16
years old, but is an orphan and has been.
beating about the world until he has be-
come hardened.
The stories worried out Of him by differ
emit ones varied materially, but finally he
became confidential, and last night sent for
Detective Thacker and Under-Sheriff Ross
and confessed the robbery, telling where
they hid the box and gun.
Upon hearing his story the officers went
out and found the box with a new pair Of
pants ard a mohair buster inside up the
gulch a quarter of a mile northwest from
the river and near the scene of the robbery.
They also fshed cut the gun from the bot
tom OF the river, thirty feet from the shore,
with garden rake.
Had the robbers continued up the gulch
they would have undoubtedly escaped, but
after depositing the box they followed down
the river over the public road and were &C
ctdently discovered by Ross and Overholser
a short distance from the ferry, where two
roads cross.
The man, who is about % years old, will
admit nothing. The arresting parties will
gel $500 reward. The boy did not oficiate
in the robbery, but was accessory after the
fact. Thacker and the local officers have
teen doing good work, and it is thought
that they have important clews which can
not be made public, which Will lead to the
arrest of parties WHO robbed the RyddIng
and AIfnras stage.

A VANDERBILT PALACE.
A Newport Cottage" of White Marble
at Amazing Cost.

A Newport cottage or White Marble
at Amazing Cost.
A Newport correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette. writes:
After the visitor has been about for awhile
among the magnificent homes of the Ameri-
can money kings at Newport he will surely
conclude that there is none of them which
would not suffer in comparison with the
new house of William X. Vanderbilt 1t is
not finished, but it is so near completion
that an adequate idea can be gained of its
final appearance.
When you stand before it and consider
that it is intended only for residence two
or three months at most in year, that there
are ten or dozen other houses of the Van
deTbilts worthy of being claSsed with it, you
are filled with admiration and amaZement-
admiration of the edifice in its wonderful
blending of the imposing and the exquisite,
and amazement at the story it tells of the
colossal character of the fortunes accumu
lated in some of the richest of American
families.
IL differs from all the other Newpo TT
houses in being built entirely of white
marble-not touch of color mars the daZ-
cling wilderness of this beautiful building.
The house. veritabie marble palace,
fronts on Bellevue avenue. and its near
outlook is on the cliffs and toward the sea.
In its design it is reproduction of the
old marble palaces OF Greece. L he pOfcneS
and terraces are reached by broad mar ole
steps, and Immediately before the eastern
portico, with its fluted Corinthian columns
are marble basins aud statues and fount-
aims. The entrance from the portico is
twenty-five feet wide, and the house mas
length of 135 feet, by 107 feet in depth. The
walls are built double. with ventilating
spaces between, and the structure rests
upon supports of iron. The interior, in
space, holiness aud establishment. will
fully correspond with the magnificence of
the exterior.
Striking as is the general effect of the
building, 1t is on close inspection that you
fully appreciate its beauties In its superb
carvings and ornamentatiOns. The designs
are all from models of the ancient sculp-
lures ana executed by the most noted artists
of to-day. There are carvings upon the eX-
terror Of the edifce that are as delicate as
lacework. and the designs upon the window
caps and panels, taken from the life ana
mythology of Greece and Rome, are very
beautiful. Seen from the front through the
foil ge of an evening. when it is lighted by
electricity and full of life and brilliant, the
house will look like a fairy palace There
are swarms of labOrers at work upon IL, but
il will not be finished this season.

MARIE HALTON'S JEWELS.
There Was a Big Collection, but The
BrOuPht Low Pricez.

There Was Big Collection, but They
Brought Low Prices.
When Haton ran away from the Casino
year ago, she was accompanied by Joseph
Lewis, a diamond broker. She is now
known as Mrs. Lewis and has been living
in comparative retirement for several
months.
An advertisement was inserted in morn
ing newspaper, which stated that an ''exe-
cutOr's sale" of the effects OF a prominent
actress would take place at Slo's Auction
Rooms at 43 Liberty street. The fact that
they were Miss Halton's did not appear. 1t
was admitted, however, that the articles
belonged to her. Where the executor"
part came in is still mystery.
Among the things sold was solid silver
tea set, which brought only 1918, although
It's original cost was $1,000 A single silver
soup tureen brought S104, and diamond
and ruby pin, SIG. There were ten gold
watches, thrty-nine rings, fifty lace and
scarf pins, and dozen beautiful bracelets.
Then there were earrings OF all kinds and
old jewelry of every Sort
The prices were low ana the entire lot
brought only $4,000. which was, it was said,
about half its cost.
Miss Halton reserved several articles for
which too little was offered. Among them
was single diamond valued at $4,000.
The actress could not be found yesterday.
The general impression about the Casino
was that she would soon 90 to Europe. Ii
was said that she had an excellent engage
ment at one of the London theaters.-The

ALL ENDS WELL.
Sequel to the Story of Girl Who Was
Not Married by Proxy.

Not Married by Proxy.
1t was a very happy couple that tramped
along the dusty Lisbon road to Thirty-sec
ond street, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
They wore Carl Van Hoff and Lena
DOhbert. Lena, WIN had been released
from the barge Office in New York, where
she was detained for over week, arrived in
Milwaukee. and the couple spent the morn-
ing looking for house.
Carl was at the depots yesterday morning
scanning the face of each passenger that
alighted from the trains coming from Chi
cagO. But Lena did not come. Carl, sick
at heart, went home to dinner. Just as
Carl was ready to come down to the depOts
in the afternoon an express wagon drove up
to the door OF Carts boarding house, corner
of Thirty-SecOnd and Brown streets, and
deposited Leua and her baggage on the side
walk. She had come in on an early after
noon train. In moment more the lovers,
who had last seen each other in Germany,
were united.
Lena was very tired from the effects of
her long journey and this, combined with
the excitement of the meeting, caused her to
become almost delrious. Her talk was in
coherent and she had to be put to bed. The
nights rest refreshed her and she was all
right in the morning.
Lena said to Il Wisconsin reporter that
informed her that she would be sent back to
Germany unless some one gave bond that
she would not become a pauper or unless
some one would marry her they youchsafed
no further information. She was placed IN
the detention house, and, though she was
treated kindly, she was lett in ignorance as
to what would be done with her. They did
not tell her that Carl had offered to marry
her by proxy. nor that the Superintendent
Of immigration had decided not to accept
that proposition. An officer came TO her and
told her that she could proceed to Mil
waukee. No explanation Of her release was
offered.
Carl IS very, very happy. He and Lena
spent all morning in an unsuccessful search
for a house. The couple will not be married
until they find house, and they expect this
will take three or four days. For tho pres
ent both are staying at the residence Of
Emil Schmidt, corner of Twenty-secOrd
and Brown streets, with whom Carl has
been boarding for some time.

CoIFAx. Oct. 26.-The examination of Al
and JEFF Roberts for train-wIeckng took
place before Judge Stevens this morning.
OWING to the smailness of the courthouse,
the case was tried in Keek's Hall. The
whole business from beginning TO end was
arguments as to whether or not the de-
PENDANTS should be tried separately. The
eourt-r was crowded this morning, and
from 10 to II o'clock the time was taken up
in arguments by the attorneys concerning
joint or separate examination. Judge
Stevens ruled that they should be examined
separately. The District Attorney then
dismissed the charge against them. They
were TeaTrested and taken to Auburn,
where they will probably remain until the
Grand Jury meets. c. II. Jones of Sacra-
mentO and District Attorney Robinson APP

A GIRLS MANIA.

Revelations Concerning the Alleged Out
rage at Marshall, So.
The reported robbery at the house of
Thomas Langan and brutal treatment OF his
daughter, Laura. by burglars turns out to
be a scheme planned and carried out by the
girl herself, who seems to have a mania in
that direction, says a special to the st. Louis
st-Dispatch. The family went to church
at Shackelford, small village east of there,
at 10 o'clock, leaving Mr.. Langan's daugh-
ter, Laura, muscular young woman, at
home to take care of the house and prepare
dinner. The family returned from church
at o. clock and were assonished to find that
the house had been broken into and furni-
ture, dishes, trunks. bureaus. etc, smashed
and destroyed. Everything in the house had
received thorough Overhaulng and in
the midst of the rubbish lay the girl,
bruised and beaten into insensibility. A
huge iron poker and wagon spoke were
found in the dining-rOom. The neighbors
and physician were summoned. Over 100
people congregated at the house and for
time great excitement prevailed.
1t is now stated that close inspection re-
veals the fact that the breaking of the
windows. the general tearing up of the house.
and even the apparent bruises on the girl
were all her own work. Medical examina-
ton showed that the brutal bruises were
simply the effect of some dye stuffs, which
left tile discoorations but no scratches or
inflammation. The frenzied crowd which
left to wreck summary vengeance returned
much wiser and thoroughly disgusted. The
girl still holds TO her story, but there is not a
shadow of evidence to bear her out.
She is q years old, and addicted to queer
ness. 1t is said year or two ago she
bought lot of goods, pretending to be deaf
and dumb, leaving directions for the bills to
be paid by bank at which it was after

secured the position of laundry manager at

About 6 o'clock one evening this week the
driver of a Third-avenue street-car, bound
up town with heavy load of passengers,
stopped his horses just before reaching
Grand street, hitched the lines tight, and
ran over to a fruit-stand on the curb and
bought couple Of rosy apples. Returning
to his horses, he gave each of them an
apple, which the animals munched with
great apparent relish Then jumping on
the platform he shook the lines loose, and
