VIENNA, Sept. 1S.-The 1(dggdT HirIdp,
q newspaper published in Buda Pesth,
Hungary, gives the details of plot to as
sassinate Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria Hungary.
The story is to the effect that Rou-
manian boy overheard two men discuss
ing the plot. They were arranging to
have the spikes removed from the rails at
a certain point on the road over which the
Emperor was to travel on his way to the
army maneuvers, thus wrecking the
train, when in the confusion the con-
spirators would kill the Emperor and his
suite.
Having heard so much, the boy became
frightened. ran away and told his parents.
They, after consulting, informed the po-
lice, and Investigations developed the fact
that spikes had recently been loosened.
Thereupon the road was carefully
guarded and inspected throughout, and
arrangements made to send private en-
gine in advance of every train.
The boy and parents were arrested and
held as witnesses.
One theory of the plot is that it was
Matched by the anti-Austrian preaching
of a local Pope OF the village in Transyl-
vania in which the boy and parents re-
side, where most of the inhabitants are
Roumanians and oppressed by the Mag
vars.
Another theory is it is the result of the
recent agitation of the Young Zechs, who
have worked up an anti-German feeling
and spread revolutionary ideas.
The police are keeping the details Sc
cret. The full facts will probably never
be known.

CALUMET TRAIN ROBBERY.

A Portion OF the $4,000 Stolen Found
In Trunk.
HANCOCK (Mich.). Sept. 1S.-Part of the
$40, 900 secured by the train robbers on
the Mineral Range road, on the way to
pay off the employees of the Calumet and
Hecla mine, has been recovered.
After securing the booty, the robbers
put it in small trunk and sent it by one
of their number, dressed as a miner, to
Houghton. He induced baggage man
of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic
to check it through for him for the con-
sideration of 80 cents. 1t is not known
whether he was aware of the contents.
The officers learned of the transaction,
took special train and overhauled it
some distance from Houghton and re-
covered the entire sum.
1t has become evident the robbers had
confederates among the trainmen, and
two firemen have been arrested at Mar
quette on suspicion.
ONE OF THE ROBBERS CoNFEssEs.
CALUMET (Mich.). Sept. 1S.-George La
liberty, a locomotive fireman, lately dis
charged from the Duluth, South Shore
and Atlantic Railway, has been arrested.
He is supposed to be the man who
handled the throttle on the engine at the
time of the train robbery Friday. He is
claimed to have made confession i'm
plicating King and his companions and
Express Messenger Hogan.
SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT STORY.
NARCOTIC (Mich.), Sept. 1S.-Probably
all the robbers of the American Express
car on the Mineral Range road Saturday
morning have been captured. Sunday
morning George Laliberty, a suspended
fremen of the South Shore road, was ar
rested. He made confession, and Eddie
Hogan, Jr., former employe OF the
American Express Company here; Jack
and Mike Shea, loon-keepers; Thomas
Winters, South Shore baggageman;
Robert Clemason, brakeman on the
West Shore, and Nose Longtime were
arrested. Laliberty was suspected to be
the person who jumped on the engine.
The engineer thought he recognized La
liberty's voice. Lalioerty gave Hogan a
baggage check for his trunk, and Hogan
gave the check to Nose Longtime, and
he to draymen, who delivered the trunk
Saturday forenoon at Laliberty's house.
There it was found, and in it were over
81, 900, supposed to be part of the stolen
money. Winters. Shoup and Clemason
were seen in the baggage-room of the
South Shore station Saturday morning.
1t is believed the trunkwas opened and
the bulk of the booty removed. 1t is
strongly suspected that the robbers have
robbed each other. Laliberty's confession
implicated King and Butler, now in jail
at Houghton.
The officers remain very reticent re-
garding the arrests, but admit that they
now have all the men they want, and are
directing their energy to find the re-
mainder of the stolen funds. They refuse
to state how much money was recovered.

Quoted on a more extensive scale than

and King of Saxony watched the move
ments of the troops with the greatest in
terest. The town of Guene was captured
to-day by the cavalry division of the
southern army, which advanced from
Styria and met the division of the north
ern army's cavalry, consisting of 1000
horses and three batteries, few miles
south of Guene. The northern force was
at first successful. but was finally driven
by the infantry force which accompanied
the southern division of cavalry. Twenty
thousand soldiers of the southern army
advanced through Guene this afternoon
and occupied the villages situated mile
north of the town. The engagement of

No Evidence Raising Any Doubt as to
the Doctors Death.
MODESTO, Sept 18.-In the lyman con-
test.over the probate of his will much
interesting testimony has been taken.
1t has been shown by overwhelming
weight of evidence that the railroad
ticket upon which it was rumored he had
gone to New FORK bears signature not
written by him, and that he therefore. did
not purchase it. 1t was shown to-day
that he took lunch at the Popular restau-
rant on Geary street. San Francisco, on
the fifth day of October, 1892, finishing
his lunch and leaving the restaurant at
1870 O'Clock in the afternoon. The party
who bought the ticket above referred to
is known to have left Sacramento at 11:30
A. NJ. the same day. Here there are two
indisputable reasons why it was not DR..
lyman who went East on this ticket. The
stories told by Hallet, who reported that
Dr. lyman is in Utah, are so inconsistent

been concluded, and argument of the case

mony in the case raising any doubt that

Judge AngelIoti Renders a Decision
Against the Widow.
SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 18.-One of the
most important final decisions was rem
dered in the Superior Court here this
morning, by Judge F. NJ. Angelloti, in
the case of the estate of James M. Dona-
hue. The court has arrived at the conclu-
sion that 81 per cent. of the estate OF
James NJ. Donahue is community prop
erty, and the balance, SO per cent, is set
down as the separate property OF the
estate. This is virtually a defeat of the
widows claim, as she is only allowed out
of the entire estate, with exceptions III
relation to the minors claims. $4,000.
The widow filed petition to have the
whole property declared community
property, which aggregates the sum OF
5000, 900. ana to have the same distributed
to her and her minor child, Isabella Don
ahue, share and share alike. This was
contested bitterly by the charitable instr
tutions who were bequeathed legacles
under the estate, and who were repre-
sented in court by Attorneys Charles
Hanlon, G. w. Haight and Joseph Hutch
inson, and whose principal point sub
mitted and argued was that the estate OF
James Nj. Donahue was acquired before
MS marriage, ana AeHce tHe eSlale was
separate property.
The decision to-day was virtually IN IA
vor of the charitable einstltutions, who will
now receive their respective shares within
the one-third limit, which is the only
amount which can be by will bequeathed
for charitable purposes. Each charitable
institution will receive from 5000 to $40.
600, according to the amount left alter
satisfying all demands against the estate.
The petition of the minor child Isabella,
set up by her appointed guardian ad
litem, II. Wilkins, was denied in toto.
The amount of money on hand at pres
ent, after satisfying the numerous claims S
against the estate, is in the neighborhood
of S650, 200, $500, 900 of which is in cash and
the balance in personal property.
