ROBBED THE CONDUCTOR.
Ten Dollars All That They
Secured for Their
Trouble.
WORKED IN THE DARKNESS.
The Lights We're Extinguished by
Throwing the Trolley From
the Wire.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept 1.-THE car
which was due to leave the Catholic ceme-
terry at Twenty -first and Y streets at 10
O'Clock tonight was held UP by two high
waymen, who succeeded in getting all the
money in the conductors possession,
amounting to $40, and escaping into the
darkness. The robbery was done so neatly
and quickly that the employees in the car
cannot furnish any description of the men
who robbed them, except that one looked
as though he was blackened up for the oc-
casion.
Just as the car was about to start on its
downtown trip man sprang onto the
rear platform and threw the trolly off the
wire, plunging the car in darkness. At
the same moment he placed a revolver
against the face of the Motorman,
Van Dyke, and commanded him not
to move. Just. as the lights
went out the second robber boarded
the front platform. and presenting his re-
volver demanded of Conductor Lynch that
he hand over what money he had. The
order was complied with, and almost be-
fore the astonished employees realized
what had happened the men were gone.
This is the second robbery of street cars
that has taken place during the State Fair,
the first having occurred week ago to-
night in an equally lonely part of the city.

ment and the Morgan-Belmont syndicate

issue to be at least $4,000, 900. l know

pect the annou ncement of the loan will be

Chicago bankers interviewed to-day said
that they saw no cause for alarm in the IN

BUILDINGS ARE BURNED.
A Night of Terror for the Peo-
pie, Who Are Fighting to
Save Lives.
ONE OF THE REsCUERs KILLED.
Lightning Has Caused Most Destruc-
tive Prairie CONGREGATIONS
in Nebraska.

PLEASANTVILLE,N N. j., Sept. IA
One of the most disastrous forest fires that
ever swept through southern New Jersey
is now raging about a mile from this
place. The fire was started Thursday aft
ernoon by parties burning brush along
the Reading Railroad near here, and it
burned very rapidly across the West Jersey
Railroad into Mckee City, burning down
two small houses, cornfields and vast
amount of valuable timber.
When the fire crossed the West Jersey
Railroad it set fire to the ties, and burned
about sixty of them from under the rails
before it was extinguished. The bulk Of
the fire is sweeping at terrific rate toward
Bakersvlle and Somers Point.
At Risleytown the fire is raging most
furiously. The ST. Pauls A. NJ. E. Church
is expected to go at any moment. Several
outbuildings were licked up like so much
paper. The West Jersey Railroad section
men fought the fire until o'clock this
morning. People at Risleyto wn are doing
all in their power to change the course OF
the fire in order to save their homes, but
unless the wind should shift there is little
likelihood that they will accomplish much.
This will be night of terror for those who
are in the line of the fire, which is about
two miles wide. 1t is estimated that the
loss already will reach $4,000, and unless
there should come a rain tonight it will
exceed 100000.
SYRACUSE, N. Y. Sept. 1.-THE little
hamlet of Palermo Center, Oswego County,
was almost wiped out by fire to-day. Out
of twenty buildings in the village, thirteen
were burned to the ground. Addison K.
Sudder of Fulton, who was driving through
the village as the fire broke out, joined in
the efforts of the villagers to extinguish
the flames. Just as he was entering the
general merchandise store owned by D.
H. Trimble, where the flames had first
broken out, keg of gunpowder exploded,
killing him instantly. The loss is said to
be about $50, 600, with little or no insurance.
THEDFORD, NEBR., Sept. IA. = De-
structive prairie fires are making their an
nual visit to this section. Fires have been
burning north of this place for four or five
days, and have done thousands of dollars
worth of damage.
Three different fires have been set be-
tween the North and South Loupe rivers
within the past five days by lightning,
burning thousands of acres of valuable
winter range, besides hundreds of tons
of hay in the stack. One fire, which

Il Vancouver HoWng Lady Duped by q
Mock Marriage.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. IA. w. P.
Adams, late a conductor on the East Side
Railway is in Jail for robbing his reputed
wife, formerly Lulu Young of Vancouver,
Wash. During his hearing this morning
the fact was disclosed that Adams de-
ceived Miss Young with a mock marriage.
She first met the defendant early last
spring, and after they had kept company
for some time he proposed marriage. Up
to that time Adams had conducted him
self properly and she accepted the offer.
They were united in marriage at the st.
Charles Hotel, and during the short time
Adams lived with her he borrowed gold
watch and a ring from her, which he failed
to return.
Adams deserted his girIwife about two
weeks after the marriage. A few days ago
the young woman discovered the decep-
ton. Officers are now looking for the
man who performed the mock ceremony.
Miss Young has friends who are likely to
shoot the two scoundrels if the opportunity
offers.

The gun was accidentally discharged,
shooting Flavius Stacy in the muscles of
the arm, setting his clothes on fire and a
quilt which was in the wagon. In the ex.
element the boy who accompanied him
threw the burning quilt out of the wagon,
which set fire to the grass and burned 700
tons of hay for R. M. Faddis, 400 tons for
a ranchman named Hanna, and 500 tons
for Clarence Wilcott. The majority of the
citizens of Thedford are out this evening

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. A.-In the Els

to-day chemical test was made in open
court by DR.. Mingus, an expert on poisons,
of portion of the contents of Mrs. Els

veIoping the characteristic colors of strych-
nine poisoning purple and then
cherry red.
DIR. Mingus, who conducted the autopsy,
testified that strychnine was found in the
dead woman's stomach. A strong fight is
being made in Ellsworth's defense by an
array of lawyers, whose theory is that
Mrs. Ellsworth either took poison herself,
with suicidal intent or that her death re-
suled from ptomaine poisoning.

California fruit brought over by the
steamer st. Louis took place in the Covent
Garden market yesterday, and was rather
disappointing. Despite the excellence OF
the stock and the fact that there was no
connecting fruit in the market, the sale was
tame and buyers were very shy. They
declined to give any reason for their dis
inclination to buy, except that they did
not want the varieties which the consign-

Los ANGELES RECEIVERS,
First Move for Reorganization
of the San Diego Land
Company.
The Action Made Necessary by the
Death of Capitalist Who
Held Its Notes.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 14.-The
San Diego Land and Town Company has
been placed in the hands of receiver on
application of the shareholders, who de-
sire reorganization of the company. The
receiver appointed is c. D. tanning, at
torney for the company in Massachusetts
and for some time its treasurer. The re-
ownership is, therefore, friendly.
The death of the elder B. P. Cheney.
who held the company's notes for $144, 600
for money advanced, furnished the occa-
sion for this step. The loan has been
called and there is no way of payment ex-
cept through the organization of the COM
pany. The bonded debt is 100000 sevens
and $316, 900 skies, the latter out as col
lateral. The SKIES are part of the author
lied issue of 81 600, 0OO of which $500, 900 is
set aside to retire sevens.
The floating debt is about $15S, 900, notes
and other interests and general oDIiga-
tions making nearly 100000 in all. The
intention is to reorganize the property
without fixed charges.

Proposals for Assayiny and SdmpIing
Ores ThrOtcI Out.


Ores ThrOlCn Out.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 14.-Secre-
tary Carlisle has rejected all the proposals
offered for assaying and sampling ores on
the northern and southern borders of the
United States, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the quantity of lead contained
therein. The proposals submitted were
only for Paso del Norte, Tex, though
asked for the entire border section.
Secretary Carlisle, in rejecting all pro-
posals, takes the position that it is impos
sible TO carry out the intent of Congress
when bids for doing only part of the work
are submitted. He is of the opinion that
the work can be done more effectively and
cheaper by the Government. He will,
therefore, report the matter to Congress
next winter, and ask for an appropriation
sufficient to establish proper ore-sampllng
works at the principal ore importing points
along Mexican and Canadian borders.
