sHRoUDED IN MYSTERY.

was MISS Ayr0s Murdered or Did She
Commit Suicide.
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 29.-There were no
new developments in the Brighton juno
tion tragedy up to 10 O'Clock tonight,
and there are not likely to he until Rail-
road Detective Burke overtakes two men
who traded gold ring at Latrobe for
liquor, about 8 q. m. The ring was re-
csived here tonight by Superintendent
Wright, and Detective Ben True says
two friends Of Miss Ayres who have seen
it think it was hers. If it can be fully
identified as belonging to her there will
be no doubt about her murder by these
men, on whose trail the officers now
are. The pay car passed Folsom about
6 O'Clock this morning, and the men
could have walked there and jumped on
the trucks and ridden to Latrobe. A
freight train also passed Brighton just
before the station was burned. The
woman may have been murdered sew
eral hours before the fire occurred, and
the fire may have been caused by her
dog upsetting lamp after the murderers
were we'll on the way. Another thing
that bears out the theory Of murder is
that the lock on the door leading from
Miss Ayres' room out upon the plat
form has been found and the bolt was
turned back showing the door was not
locked. Coroner Clark, however, holds
to the suicide theory, based on a love
affair. At present the whole thing is a
mystery.

there need be no alarm in regard to her

LONDON, Dec. 29.--As the hours
leng'hen with no tidings of the overdue
steamer Umbria, anxiety increases.
The relatives and friends of those on
board continually visit the Offices Of the
company or ask by telegraph for intelli-
gence. While tine compsny's agents
profess to have no fear as to
the safety of the vessel, the un-
derwriters look upon her as an
extra hazardous risk, and reinsurance
rates have risen since yesterday from 2
guineas premium "a very high rate) to
20 guineas. A broken shaft would ac.

she may have struck floating wreck,

Colonel Hernandez's Case
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 30. The report
that 800 Mexican troops under Genera |
Garcia had been routed by 25O revolu-

is believed to be without foundation.
Garcia telegraphed the government yes
terday, but said nothing about the re-
ported engagement.
The appeal OF Colonel Hernandez is
being heard in the supreme court.
Counsel for the defendant argues that
CARA, with whom Hernandez was con-
nected, was not revolutionist but a
common bandit. The death sentence
imposed upon Hernandez is likely to be
confirmed by the court, but pardon is
expected afterward,

work Of a band of conspirators, that
they have sent Detective Blarritz to

istence of formidable dynamite con-
spiracy.

LONDON, Dec. 29.-The latest advices
from st. Petersburg and other parts of

Jews and the inhumanity of the Czar's
officials toward the unhappy race are
greater than ever before. Six edicts
have been issued, aiming to disperse the

out their religion. The edicts are en-
forced with the severest rigor every

the beginning Of 1891, 10000 Jews have

aroused in the dead hours of the night. such
anxiety was there. Loatt to accept, he obeyed
the order. Together they went to Hooker,

conferred upon him; also authority to appoint

Meade was given carte blanche.
Meanwhile the rebels were ravaging in Penn
