Apparently Confirmed.

story of the Sinking OF Juan Fernandez
Apparently Confirmed.
San Francisco, Dec. 31.-Robinson
Crusoe's Island. Juan Fernandez, has
been swallowed up by the sea. The
rumor of the islands disappearance was
first circulated several weeks ago by a
sea captain at Lisbon, but the report
was not believed at the time. The story
was to-day given what is considered
verification by Captain Powell, of the
James Kerr, now in this port. The Kerr
has just arrived from New Castle, New
South Wales, and Captain Powell says
that the story of the Spanish skipper
seems to be true in every particular.
The Spanish captain stated that from
the deck of his vessel he had seen the
island go under, and that the sea all
around was disturbed as if by the force
of a submarine earthquake. Captain
Powell and his ship were tied up in New
Castle owing to big strike there, and
while he was in port several vessels ar
rived. Every captain had word Of the
remarkable occurrence, and the story
was generally believed by seafaring
men,

READY FOR A SHEEP WAR.
Colorado Cattlcmen Arm Against the Ed
wardses.


Denver, Col, Dec. 31.-The Colorado
sheep war has broken out again, and
promises this time to be extremely
serious. For the last few days cattle
men, ranchmen. and others interested
in maintaing the range of Routt Coun.
ty for the benefit of cattle have been
congregating in the northwestern por.
ton of the county at a point on lower
Snake River,
The men came in twos and threes and
in companies numbering as many as
thirty. five. Every man is we'll mounted
and thoroughly armed. They are evil
IDENTIFY determined to enforce the re.
moval Of the sheep from Routt County,
and have agreed among themselves that
the boundary line between Colorado
and Wyoming shall be the dividing
point between the cattle and sheep
ranges. There are perhaps $50 we'll
armed men in the cause. Military rule
has been adopted and the men are di
vided into companies, each company
having captain, with commander
in-chief in charge of the entire force.
Great caution is observed, owing to a
report which was received to the effect
that Grif and Jack Edwards, the prin-
cipal sheep owners, have secured the
services of large force to meet the

MR.. O0MLY'S ANNUAL DINNER.

Hon. Joshua w. Comfy of Danville,
is now past eighty-slx years of age.
lie retired from active practice ofthe
law some years ago, and has been
leading a retired life among his books
ever since. When at the bar he was
known all over the state as LAWYER
OF great ability and a man of the
strictest honor and integrity. For
some years past it has been his custom
to give dinner in December to a
number ofhis legal friends. In accord
ance with this custom, on Tuesday
last there gathered at his office in
Danvllle number of gentlemen to
participate in the banquet.
There were present Judge II. M.
Hinckley, l. X. Grier, James Scarlet,
f. 5. Gearhart, DR.. Vorhees, w. J..
Baldy of Danville; Judge J. C.
Bucher of Lewisburg; Judge w. NJ.

lew, Col. J. G.. Freeze, Geo. f. Elwell,
OF Bloomsbury c. c. FAIRIES, John
Norris, and J. Norris Boyle, nephews
of Mr.. Comfy, of Milton.
AT three o'clock the party went to
the Montour House dining room, and
sat down to an elegant dinner, the
bill of fare of which included Blue
Points on half shell, snapper soup,
boiled salmon, pheasant, venison,
quail on toast, chicken salad, ice
cream, cake, coffee, fruits and nuts.
Vegetables were served with each
course of game. The cooking was
all that the most fastidious taste could
desire, and the service was excellent.
The Montour House is deservedly
popular for its good management under
S. B. Chrisman and J. L Reihl.
After two hours of pleasure at the
table, the guests returned 10 Mr..
Comly's Office and spent the time
socially until the hour of departure
arrived.
1t is the wish of all who were present
that their distinguished host may be
spared for many years to come.

CHARGED WITH
CRIME.
Clifton c. knorr Arrested, Charged with
Attempting 10 Destroy the Residence Of
L. E. Waller. Esq.,, last September.

Clifton c. Knorr was arrested in
Reading by Detective William Hender-
son of Philadelphia, and brought here
on Monday morning, where he was
given hearing before John NJ. Clark
Esq, and committed to Jail for trial
onthe charges of throwing an explosive
with intent to destroy property, and
also with intent to take life, in Sep
tember last at the residence of l.. f..
Waller Esq. 1t will be remembered
that an explosive of some kind was
placed on Mr.. Walters porch, and
that the porch was badly shattered,
and all the windows in the front OF
the house were broken. 1t seems
now that suspicion fell Oil young
Knorr at the time, and detective
was put on the case resulting in his
arrest as above stated.
No sooner was the prisoner lodged
IN jail than the air was filled with all
sorts of rumors, and great excitement
prevailed throughout the town. 1t
was said that Knorr had made a con-
fession in which he implicated others,
and though the public had no posi-.
tive knowledge of the nature of this
confession, Dame Rumor set herself
busily at work to supply all the details.
The disclosures in the case were
the absorbing topic of conversation.
1t would be improper to state at this
time the nature of the evidence as it
is heard on the street, for it is not
authenticated, Public judgment
should be withheld until the evidence
Is produced in court, and then if the
accused persons are found guilty they
should suffer the fullest penalty of the
law, but no one should be condemned
without full and fair hearing before
the proper tribunal. The case will
probably be tried at February court.
On Thursday morning, L. S. Winter
steen Esq, was arrested on the charge
OF being an accessory before the fact.
A hearing was held before J. M.
Clark Esq. Messrs. Scarlet, Herring
and Rhawn appearing with the
District Attorney for the prosecution,
and Fred Ikeler Esq, representing
Mr.. Wintersteen. Clifton Knorr was
called as a witness and swore that he
was employed to blow up Mr.. Walters
residence by L. S. Wintersteen.
Several other witnesses were heard
on behalf of the commonwealth, but
none were heard for the defense, as it
is not the practice to hear the de-
fendant on preliminary hearing.
After hearing the evidence the Justice
held Mr.. Wintersteen for trial, and
he gave bail for his appearance at
next court.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 31.-Twenty.
seven persons were killed and several
others fatally injured by the plunge of
train through the Cahaha River
Bridge, near Birmingham, at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning.
All the details Of the catastrophe now
in the possession Of the authorities tend
to prove conclusively that the wreck
was the work of train wreckers, prob
ably the same who tried to wreck q
train at McComb's trestle and robbed
another train on the Southern Railway,
in Lafayette County, several days ago.
Another train bearing rescuers was in
collision with a lumber train near the
scene of the wreck, and one man was
killed and another injured.
The train was derailed, ran against
the side of the bridge, broke through
and then plunged 100 feet into the
gorge which the structure spanned.
Fire followed the fall, and barely ten Of
those on board escaped death.
1t is believed by the train officials
that rail was taken up by train rob-
bers, and surviving passenger says he
saw three men robbing the dead.

The entertainment given at the
Lutheran Church on Monday night,
by Prof. Howe and the new invention,
the Animotiscope, was of a high order
and all who failed to attend threw
away an opportunity to see one of
the finest entertainments witnessed in
town for long time. The life like
movements of the different pictures
shown, made one almost think they
were real, among the most notable
scenes was the Atlantic in storm,
and the thrilling escapes from fires.
The audience was not as large as it
should have been, but we presume
many stayed away, believing 1t to be
magic lantern show. We under
stand that he will give another enter
tainment in town this winter, when he
will no donbt be greeted with a large
audience.

Saturday, acting in concert with the
representatives of Great Britain, France,
Italy, Germany and Austria, had an
audience of the Sultan, Abdul Hamid
to insist upon a better administration
of the affairs Of the Turkish Empire.
The Sultan remained obdurate SO far
as consenting to concede any measure
of control to the Powers, financial or
otherwise.
To this the Russian Ambassador re-.
piled that the condition of the Turkish
Empire placed the throne and the Cali
phate in imminent peril.
Thereupon Abdul Hamid remarked,
impressively;
