Rio Has Fallen Into the Hands of the
RebeIs-PresIdent Driven Out.
BUENos AYREs, Sept. 17.-Advices
from Rio Janeiro confirm the reports
that the rebels have captured the city and
driven out President PeiXoto and the
Government. The arsenal and Custom
house and the town of Nictheroy, oppo-
site Rio. are in the hands of the revolu-
tionists. Nictheroy was shelled time and
again and the garrison finally compelled
to surrender after a gallant resistance.
The damage done by the bonn bardment
of Rio and Nictheroy is much greater
than was at first believed or admitted. 1t
is reported that after the surrender the
garrison and civil guards Joined the in
surgents, who have received large addi-
tions to the fleet.
The rebel fleet now numbers nine YES
sells, and these have been reinforced by
the naval vessels at Cabras Island in Rio
Bay. Fort Cabras is one of the principal
defenses of Rio. The prison on the island,
in which most of the high class and polit-
ical prisoners were confined, has been
thrown open and the inmates liberated.
They joined the rebels.
The President and his Government
have been driven out of Rio and are now
encamped with royal troops at Santa
Ana, twelve miles from Rio, awaiting
the rebel attack. Nevertheless the Presi-
dent is not disheartened. Congress has
passed vote sustaining him, and he still
has hope that the provinces will remain
loyal and rally to his support.
On the other hand it is asserted that
the President knows better than anyone
else does, how futile are his hopes of saw
ing himself, and that he is even now en-
deavoring TO make terms with the insur-
gents, but has received reply that moth
ing but unconditional surrender would
be accepted. The insurgents are prepar-
ing to march upon Santa Ana to try and
capture the President.

Special to the REcoRD-UNroN.

RENO New, Sept. Nv. J. Marley,
San Francisco jeweler en- route to Chi
cago, was robbed here this morning of
S62. As he stepped off the train fellow
passenger, who saw him receive S100
from one of his agents at Sacramento the
night before, said: Look at the cinna-
mon bear that just went around the cor
ner." Marley not seeing it, asked the
engineer and was assured that he had
plenty of time. He was persuaded by
his fellow passenger to go and look for it,
and on his way met two contederates.
All went into saloon and, after drink,
one threw the dice and asked Marley TO
change $40, and as he pulled handful of
money from his pocket the confederates
grabbed all and bet it on the next throw
with the fellow passenger, the latter win
ming almost before Marley knew what
had happened. Just then someone said
the train was going. Marley ran and
caught it, but getting hold of his baggage
jumped off again, got officers and caught
two OF the robbers. The third one and
the cinnamon bear are still at large.

Great Distress In the Districts Affected
Large Loss of Life.
MADRID, Sept. 1.-THE distress in the
flooded districts of New CASTLE contin-
ues, and the loss of life is greater than
anticipated. Fresh storms and continued
downpours have delayed the departure of
relief trains. Some villages have been
entirely isolated for days, and starvation
is staring the inhabitants in the face.
Some caves in which the terror-stricken
inhabitants of Villa Canas sought refuge
were fairly choked with Corpses of men,
women and children. About eighty bod
les have already been recovered, but the
number is said to be far below the actual
loss Of life. Business in the flooded dis
trict is entirely suspended. and will so
remain for some time to come. Great
damage has been done in other parts of
the peninsula. Plantations, vineyards
and buildings in the vicinity of Sala-
manca suffered severely, and a large
number OF cattle were drowned. The
Queen Regent sent a donation of money
for the relief of the starving inhabitants,
and subscriptions for the same purpose
are being raised in other quarters.

If what we understand is true there
will be good deal of mining done in the
hills and gulches about here. Prepare
tions are being made among miners to do
a considerable amount of drifting. There
is lots of good, rich mining ground yet
remaining about this part OF the country.
The gravel train was put on again on
Wednesday, and will run between here
and Sacramento for the coming month.
There are number OF men employed at
the pits and the resumption of the opera

putting considerable money in circula-

THE MINT ROBBERY.
The Weighing Clerk Confesses to tt
Crime.

The Weighing Clerk Confesses to the
Crime.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.-Henry s..
Cochran, Weighing Clerk in the Phila-
delphta Mint, has confessed that he is the
thief who stole thirty bars of gold bullion
from the vaults. About 100000 worth of
the yellow metal has been recovered, and
it is expected that the Government will
lose nothing by Cochran's dishonesty.
The thief was discovered in this way:
Secretary Carlisle had hardly issued his
order directing that the bullion in the
several mints of the country be coined
than Cochran, who was in charge of the
reserve vault in the Philadelphia Mint,
became uneasy-so much so, in fact, that
he mentioned the matter to several of the
emplOyeS of the mint, intimating that
the gold would not be found intact when
the vault should be opened and the gold
reweighed.
He did not, however, confne himself to
protestations to the employees of the Phil
adelphia Mint, but on September 7th
went to Washington and visited Acting
Director of the Mint Preston at his resi-
dence in that city. He endeavored to
persuade MIR. Preston to have the Secre-
tary countermand the order for coming
the bullion in the Philadelphia Mint and
to ship coin from the New York Sub
Treasury for that purpose. Mr.. Preston
informed him that the order could not be
revoked.
The unusual zeal displayed by Cochran
in the matter aroused suspicious in Mr..
Preston's mind, and when the shortage
was discovered, suspicion, of course,
pointed to Weighing Clerk Cochran.
Chief Drummond, of the Secret Service
OF the United States, was at once COM
municated with and Immediately began
work on the case. The result was that
on Friday evening Cochran made full
confession to Chief Drummond and Mr..
Preston. He stated that for the last eight
or ten years he had been abstracting
bullion bars from the vaults. During
that time he had taken S34, 900 worth.
Within the last ten days he had taken
$4,000 worth.
The method he employed was substan-
TALLY this: By means of a crooked wire
he pulled the bullion bars from the top
of the pile, where they were placed cross
wise like railroad ties. When they fell
upon the floor he would, by means of this
hook, pull the bars to the iron-latticed
door, the bottom of which was a little
loose on one side, the door having rusted.
By pushing the door inward on the side
the bar of gold could easily be removed.
His habit was to do this stealing before
the employees of the Mint came to their
work in the morning. As the gold bars
only weigh twelve to fifteen pounds each,
he could carry them home secreted in his
lunch basket.
In this way he took ont of the vault
and carried away 900 of gold bullion.
By means of the same hook and in the
same way be took out of the vault within
the last ten days 100000 in gold bullion.
Instead of removing this from the Mint
building, however. he secreted 1t in a
ventilator, where it was found after he
had made his confession, he, himself,

CLEvELAND,s BABY ESTHER.
She Has Future, According to an
"Astrologer.''

t'Astrologer.'
New YORK, Sept. H.-Little Miss
Esther, the new American princess OF the
house of Cleveland, has future before
her that is romantic and a career that is
distinguished, if the portents of stars and
signs of heavens are to be trusted. Her
horoscope was cast, and the whole plan
etary system seems to have done its pref
tiest to give the new baby place in fu-
ture American annals. This is what an
astrologer said at the conclusion of her
study: 1t is indeed fortunate nativity.
The baby is destined to arrive at great
eminence, to become noted and promi-
nent like her father. She is fated to be
well-made, rather tall woman, most
closely resent bling her mother, of COM
pact and graceful frame. She would be
of light complexion, brown-haired, with
a high forehead and deep, expressive
eyes. The planets tell of a courteous and
mental disposition. Good nature, mild
ness and charity will be her chief charac-
teristics. The forecast of the early part of
| her life shows sickness and trouble of
a critical sort. After that her health will
gradually improve. though other critical
| times are to come. Her intellectually is
very marked, and there is every sign of
her becoming a notable woman. As
woman she VIII have rare gifts OF music
and song. She will take a place in public
affairs in all probability. Wealth she IS
certain to acquire, if not through her
own mental exertions, through marriage,
at any rate. The planets say this will not
| take place before she is "a, and she will
| enter the marriage state only once. Her
marriage will be one of great worldly adj
vantage. The future husband the signs
make out to be OF character not at all un-
like hers. In appearance he will resem-
BILE herself. The marriage is destined to
! be very happy one. They will have no
more than three children, aud they are
likely to be boys, but there is danger Of
two of them dying in infancy. Miss
Esther is destined to a long life.
