Sheriff and a Robber Killed
As the Result of Holding UP a Train at
WheatlRnd, Calf,

The north bound Oregon express train
was held up 80 miles north of Whealland,
Calf, early Saturday morning by robbers
who crawled over from the blind baggage
car and covered the engineer and fireman
with revolvers. The express car was
opened but the robbers could get nothing
there, as the messenger did not know the
combination of the safe. The leg of a pair
of overalls was tied together for a bag and
the fireman was then compelled to go
through the cars as collector followed by
the robbers with drawn reyolvers. Coin
and valuables were thrown into the novel
receptacle. Sheriff j. j. Bogard, who was
in the sleeper, was aroused by the porter
He entered the coach where the robbers
were operating and fired twice, killing one
of the desperadoes. The other jumped
from the car and running along its side
entered from the rear and shot the sheriff
in the back. The fireman was seriously
wounded in the exchange of shots. The
second robber fled after killing the sheriff
The dead robber wore a bicycle suit under
overalls 1t is supposed the robbers in
tended to escape on wheels.
Two masked men entered the railroad
station at Arroyo Grande, Calf, Saturday
night and at the point of a revolver forced
the agent and his assistant to open the
safe, from which they took over $1,000 in
cash.

The Chicago Subway Arcade and Trac-
ton company has been incorporated at
Springfield, ILL.,, with capital stock of
$4,000, 600. The object stated in the
charter is to construct subways in Chicago
and operate line of cars with dummy
engines.
Two heavy passenger trains on the
Maine Central railroad were in collision
three miles from Bangor, Me-, Tuesday.
James Ward, one of the tremen, was killed,
and: several other persons were injured.
Three engines, postal and a baggage car
were smashed.
James Mcbride. 80, employed in the
stone quarres at Sixteen Acres, a small
settlement near Springfield, Mass, shot
and instantly killed Mrs. Julia Rochefort,
80, last Friday. He then ran to his board
ing house, told his landlady what he had
done and declared that he would kill him
self. He wandered about two hours before
shooting himself in the neck. He was
found only partially conscious and it was
supposed that he would die, but he is now
recovering. Jealousy was the cause of the
crime. The woman's husband died year
ago and she was left with six small children,
two of whom witnessed the murder. She
had refused to marry Mcbride.

indeed True they act upon the bowels, but this

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
The Cuban Rebellion.
The Insurgents VIII Have 10000
Troops i'm the Field I'm June.

The Insurgents VIII Have 10000
Troops i'm the Field I'm June.
The uprising in Cuba is apparently
something more than a mere "riotous
demonstration" as at first designated and
is approaching, if it has not already reach
ed, the stage when it may be called re-
bellion. 1t is said that the insurgents have
about 1000 men under arms. The home
government is preparing to despatch a
large body of troops to the island, and has
voted considerable sum to pay the in
creased army expenses. These troops will
be placed under the command of Gen.
Martinez de Campos, who won his spurs
in the suppression of the Carlist rebellion
and the Cuban instruction in 1876. The
situation is regarded at Madrid as of sufii-
cient gravity to call for heroic treatment,
administered by the best military leader
ship to be found in Spain. After the ar
rival of Campos and his army stirring
news may be expected from the troubled
island.
Amador Guerra, the Cuban revolution
airy chieftain, has sent despatch to the
New York Herald asking Americans not to
believe stories of insurgent defeats coming
from government sources. He says his
forces are more than holding their own
and by the middle of June will have 20,
600 men in the field.

What the New Tariff Has Done.

From the New York Advertiser
So far the new tariff has accomplished
three important results. 1t has produced
a deficiency of about hundred millions
a year in the income of the United States
government. 1t has cut down our exports
from S495, 277, S44 for the six months end
ing March l, 1894 to SAT-, 052, 410 for the
six months ending March l, 1S05-an aver
age reduction in our export trade of about
eight millions month, or ninety-siX mil
lions year. And it has increased the inn
ports of foreign products which take the
place of American goods by about S56,-
900, 900 in the same time. Thus it cuts both
ways, like atwo-edged ord-diminishng
our sales of goods for which foreigners must
pay us and increasing our purchases of i'm
ported products for which we must pay
foreign producers, to the detriment of our
own manufacturers and farmers.

The Burlington experiment station has
just issued three important bulletins which
may be had for the asking. One is for
housekeepers, and describes buffalo beetles
and clothes moths and tells how to COM
bat them. Another is on spraying orchards
and potato fields. 1t shows that the scab-
bling and cracking of orchard fruits is a
fungous disease and may be prevented by
spraying the trees with bordeaux mixture.
1t also treats of the prevention of potato
scab and potato blight and rot. The third
bulletin gives analyses and statement of
the comparative value of - brands of
commercial fertilizers offered for sale in
the state this year. Farmers and house
holders will find these bulletins of great
value to have in hand for study and refer
ence.

Mrs. w. II. Williams, of Grove City,
Ohio, went to the Park Hotel, in Column
bus, on Saturday, with her three children,
aged Z, II and Is respectively. The two
younger children were found dead IN their
bed with their Threats cut Monday. The
elder child, Annie, said that her mother
had told her not to go near the bed in
which her brother and sister were sleeping,
and that she had then gone out. Mrs.
Williams was found later on Monday. She
said she had intended to drown herself, but
changed her mind for fear Annie would be
charged with the murders. The woman

The "true story of the capture of JEFF
ferson Davis has been told once more.
This time it is by Brig. Hamden,
who was Northumberland of the 1st Wis
consin cavalry at the time of Richmond's
fall, and who was sent with 100 picked men
to capture the rebel chief. They found Davis
and his wife and companions camped in
two tents in pine forest near Irwinvlle,
Ga. The soldier who arrested Mr.. Davis
said he had a shawl thrown over his Shout
der when he came to the door of the tent,
out of which the waterproof and hoop
skirt story grew. Davis was very petulant
and accused his wife of delaying the party
and causing their capture. Hamden told
the story at Chattanooga the other day,
where he went as a member of Wiscon-
sin commission to fix the position of troops
from that state on the battlefield of
Chickamauga. 1t will do for the true
story until another is told.

Killed in a Runaway Trolley Car.

A trolley car ran away on an incline at
GAINESVILLE, Pa, Saturday and three per-
sons were killed outright and others fatal
ly injured. When control of the car was
first lost the passengers ran to the rear
platform and prevented the conductor from
using the breaks. Those who were killed
jumped from the car while it was running
at lightning speed. The car kept the rails
until it reached the bottom of the incline
when it jumped the track and ran against
telegraph pole. The pole was knocked
down and the car plunged into ditch,
badly wrecked. The conductor and mo-
torman were not hurt.

An Electric Elevated Railroad
To Carry Freight Between New York

Capital.

To Carry Freight Between New York
and San FranclscO---s2OO,OO 900
Capital.
The Inter Ocean Electric Railway COM
pany, incorporated in Illinois, proposes to
make some decided changes in the present
method of freight transportation. The
company has capital stock of 5000, 0OO,-
600, and Chicago, New York and San
Francisco capitalists are interested. The
intention is to construct an elevated cleo
trio freight railway between Chicago and
New York for the transportation of coal
and grain. The plans and specifications
have been drawn by Chicago engineer,
and the company will own number of
patents on electrical devices used by the
road. John w. King, the company's at
torney, says: "The road is decided step
in advance of the electrical roads operated
at present. Electricity is cheaper as mo-
tive power and renders a much higher rate
of speed possible. Also with our road we
expect to do away with the necessity of
buying right of way, and all delays in
cident to surface traffic will be avoided.
At present it takes six days for freight to
travel from Chicago to New York. On
the new road the trip will take one. The
road will have its own telephone and tele-
graph lines, and it is proposed in time to
extend the line to San Francisco"

The Canadian Crisis Ended.

A despatch from Ottawa says that the
dominion cabinet crisis is ended. Sir
Charles HILBERT Upper has returned to
active work in the cabinet, the difficulties
between himself and Premier Bowel hav-
ing been amicably settled. 1t is said that
the conditions on which Sir Charles surren-
dered are that no government measure will
be introduced during the coming session of
parliament regarding the Manitoba schools !;
that only the estimates will be submitted,
so that the session may be as brief as pos
sible, thus giving an opportunity of an
early appeal to the country after prorog-
uing.

March Deficit Only saa4.OOO.

Contrary to the expectations of treasury
officials, tax receipts for the month of
March will again fall below the expendi-
lures. The amount, however, is only
about S234,000. The excess of expendi-
lures over receipts for the nine months of
the fiscal year is over S3G 100000, and this
will almost certainly be increased by So
100000 or more during April, which will
leave deficit of about S42 5000 on May
l. During May and June great things are
expected from the income tax. The most
conservative estimates, however, now place
the deficit for the fiscal year at S25, 900, 900,
or s., 100000 greater than Mr.. Carlisle's es-
innate
