CALIFORNIA TRAIN ROBBERS.
Various Theories Advanced as to How They
Worked.

Various Theories Advanced as to How They
Worked.
Sacramento, Cal, Oct 15.-The men
who robbed the Overland train near
this city have thus far eluded cap
ture. urr
The detectives are working on three
different theories. All of these the
cries agree that the men are ex-em-
ployes and reside in this city. 1t is
claimed the manner In which the
robbery was conducted bears out this
supposition beyond a doubt.
One of the theories Is that the rob
bers buried the money in the woods
near where the engine stopped. and
after disposing Of their arms, masks
and linen busters, crossed the bridge
into Sacramento, where they lived.
Those opposed to this theory claim
to believe the money was buried some
where in the -neighborhood OF where
the engine was reversed and sent
back, but that the robbers crossed to
the Sacramento side of the river IN
boat, which they had either stolen for
the occasion or which was furnished
by a confederate.
The other theory, and one that
seems to have a large number Of ad-
herents, is that the men had buggy
standing near by, into which they
loaded the money and then drove up
the river to a spot where they had
confederate awaiting their arrival
with boat, by means of which they
could row across and enter the city
from the north or east side.
Traces of buggy in a soft ground
near the track have been discovered.
Another circumstance in line with
this theory is that buggy has beer
missing from stable in this city
since the afternoon preceding the train
robbery.

EXCITEMENT AT CRIPPLE.
News Of the Shooting Received Thor
sf and at Victor. '

News of the Shooting as Received There
8 and at Victor. '''
Cripple Greek, Colo, Oct. 15.-The
news Of the shooting at Divide Of Cam
non and the wounding of Short created
the most intense excitement in the dis
trict. Cannon was I, union miner and
was well known. At Victor the news
was received with anything but favor,
and the unfortunate affair may bring
out more trouble, although it is hoped
not. There has been much dissatis-
faction over recent arrests, as the min
ers claim that no promptness is used
in bringing to trial those who have
been arrested. 80
Deputy Sterling has good many
friends in Cripple Greek who say that
the shooting was surely done in self
defense, for he is not u man to get rat
tied or to shoot without great provoca-
ton. They learned with satisfaction
that the coroner's Jury and the testi-
mony Of Short had exonerated him.
There are. Of course, two views to the
matter, and feeling runs high in the
hills.

IT seems a little singular that such
action as has been taken at Princeton
70 stop the puerile, dangerous and
altogether indefensible practice of
hazing should not have been taken
years ago; more strange yet that it
should originate with the students
themselves. It tends to show how
slight, after all, is the control Of the
faculty of an American college over
the great body of traditions and GUS
toms of the institution.

RumOrs That 1t Will be OverthroWn by
the Irish.
New York, Oct. 16~A special dis
patch to the World from London, says:
Although little of home politics is dis
cussing in the newspapers during the
parliamentary recess, it is known In
the inner circles that there is most
threatening condition of affairs in the
Liberal party, one which will lead to
the overthrow of the Rosebery ministry
at the very opening of the next session,
unless the prime minister meanwhile
takes the lead In an. overt. determined
and really sincere movement to abolish
the veto power Of the house of lords.
He must do this, in fact, in his COM
ing speech at Bradford on the 7th.
Justin Mccarthy, speaking for the 72
Irish votes under his leadership, will
call meeting Of the party which will
determine to vote against the govern
ment in the first division taken after
Parliament convenes. Mr.. Mccarthy Is
now in London. While declining to
say this publicly, for obvious reasons,
he makes no secret Of his purpose MS
above stated.

day the Judge of the circuit court of
