No News for Two DAYS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - Minister
Mendonca, of Brazil, has received no
cable advices confirmatory or otherwise
of Mello's capture of Rio today.
Two days have now passed with
out any cable communication be-
tween the Brazilian authorities and the
minister. Senior Mendonca is serenely
confident, however, that the reports of
Mello's triumph are unfounded. If
Mello had actually triumphed there
would be an end to PeiXoto's censorship
of press dispatches, and Mello would be
the first to desire that the news of his
victory be sent to the world.

An Odd Celebration in q South

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 23.-An odd
celebration was held few days ago in
Burk township, this county. For
several years there has been much liti-
CATION over the question of the bound
airy lines, the contest being as to whether
or not the old government survey or the
later Van Antwerp survey should stand.
The supreme court recently decided the
question in favor of the old survey. A
grand celebration in ratification of the
courts decision was held at the resi-
dence of Frank Randall. The guests
arrived at about 1890 a. M, and the day
was spent in merrymaking. About
fifty were present. There were twenty
four tables and in the center of each
was huge cake designed after gov
ernm ent corner. The cake was sixteen
inches square at the base and contained
in the center four pits in the shape of
government mound, the cake being so
designated in gilt letters. Above the
cakes foated the stars and stripes.
After the company was assembled the
host read the decision IN full and was
freely applauded. There were turkeys
and chickens in abundance and there

to bureau where 81, 300 was stored, and
after securing the money made off,
leaving no clue as to their identity or in
which direction they escaped. Mem

Rochester, n. Y,

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Dec. ga crank
attempted to kill Silas Wallbridge, a
wealthy real estate dealer, in his Office
today. He had been lettering around
the building until he saw MIR. Wallbridge
enter his office. Following him in. as
Wallbridge turned to the hat rack he
was hit on the mead with a piece of
rubber pipe. in which was concealed a
stick of solder. The two men grappled,
and Mr.. Wallbridge, who is about sixty
years old, finally got the weapon away
from his assailant. The crank fed
through the door, and was lost in the
crowd of holiday shoppers outside. Mr..
Wallbridge's head was badly cut, and.
weakened by loss of blood, he was
taken. to his home. Detectives are
securing the city for the assailant, but
he has as yet succeeded in eluding
capture. His motive was evidently
murder and robbery.

PERNAMBUCo, Dec. 23.-The report
that Rio de Janeiro has been captured
by the rebels has not been confirmed,
but the most startling reports are still
in circulation here. It is an
nounced here in a dispatch from Rio
de Janeiro that Admiral de Cana and
the insurgent war vessels are off Cobras
island and that they have succeeded in
stopping the collection Of the leve-
nues from the custom house, which
have, up to the present, been
paid to President Peixoto. There seems
TO be some serious hitch connected with
the departure of Lieut.. John Conway,
third watch officer of the Eictheroy,
and of the sixty insurgents who are
thoroughly posted upon the movements
of Peixoto's new cruisers, and it is Ger
tain that the Aquidaban and her
consorts are expected here almost at
any moment.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 23.-With the
most Serious intent in the world, eight
men attempted tonight to rob the New
Orleans express of the Mobile & OHIO
system, which leaves this city at 1886 D.
N. Boarding the train at Pittsburgh
crossing, and bearing frowning mein,
and, presumably, empty pockets, with
the exception of welI-loaded revolyers,
the eight would-be imitators of Jim
Cummings clustered about the express
cars forward end and the engines
tender. AS the train bowled along
they put their plans on the way to
execution by attempting to brighten
Messenger Robertson, of the Southern
Express company, into admitting them
into his sacred precincts. He did not
scare worth cent, and as the train
slowed up for the Forest Lawn, ILL.,,
''stop." the robbers slid off into the
darkness and disappeared from view.
At Forest Lawn the train officers mott
fed their chief, and also set the local
Hawkshaws upon the trail. but, with
descriptions entirely lacking, pursuit Is
well nigh hopeless.
