The Notorious Horsethief Has Serred q
Term Before.

HANFORD, CAL, july 16.-The pre-
liminary examination of santos Lugo, the
notorious horseihief who was captured at
Tehachapi and brought here on the first
OF this month after having eluded the
officers of this county for over two years
by travelling all about the State, was held
here o-day and resulted IN his being held
to answer before the Superior Court on a
charge of grand larceny, with bail fixed at
$1,000, in default OF which he is now in
Jail
During the trial quite an interesting fact
was revealed, which may possibly tend to
lengthen Lugo's sentence. On January
6, 1877, Lugo, then but 81 years OF age,
held up sage in Red Rock Canyon,
Kern County, and com PEELED the driver,
William Buttertieid, a: the point OF
Winchester, TO deliver Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s box and the United States mail,
and then made has escape to the noun
tains. He was subsequently captured,
and on September 19, 1877, be was SEN
fenced to fifteen years imprisonment at
San Quentin under the name of Chico
Lugo. He only served ten years, how
ever. the other five being placed to his
credit on account OF good behavior. The
evidence produced against him to-day was
very strong, and he did not rebut any OF
the prosecutions testimony.

In FGror Of AHy Plan to Settle the Coal
Strike.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 6-Arbitration
Commissioner Little of Ohio and Coal
Operator w. P. de Armitt left for Phila-
delphia, where De- Armitt will try to in
duce the owners of Pennsylvania and
West Moreland Gas Coal companies to
agree TO sign the proposed uniformity
contract plan, agreeing to abolish certain
abuses in the coal trade in this district.
The arbitration commissioners all hope
the requisite 80 per cent of signers of the
uniformity agreement can be obtained if
De Armitt and other coal operators will
do their utmost. De Armitt himself mas
doubts of obtaining the necessary number
OF signatures, and his chief opponent, F.
L. Robbins, while willing to sign his
name, says the movement will fail. Rob-
bins is trying to work up another phase of
the question. He says that coal is plenti-
ful and West Virginia miners must be
stopped from mining coal before the
strike can be successful.
The success of the uniformity plan in
Plttsburg, he maintains. will not settle
the trouble so long as the West Virginia
mines are running.
District President Patrick Dolan denied
the story printed this afternoon that he
had backed down from the promise to
support the uniformity plan. He will
work for it, bat he does not believe 95 PEI
cent of the Pittsburg operators will sign it.
the arbitration commissioners to-day
received the following telegram from
Senator Hanna in response to the one
sent to him last night.
Little, Bishop and others, Pittsburq: Our
coal interests a Pittsburg are represented
by Mr. Thomas Young, who is there and
viii cooperate along the line suggested.
l will re Cleveland, urging other oper-
ators to join in the movement. Will
gladly cooperate and will urge other op-
orators TO do same. NJ. A. HANNA"
POMEROY, OHIO, July 16.-The Kama
wha and Michigan railroad hauled 800
carloads of West Virginia coal by here to-
dsy-three times the usual tonnage. All
but two passenger engines have been
pressed into the freight service.
A carload of colored N iners went into
the Kanawha Valley tc mine coal.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 16-J. S. Sow
ereign, general master workman Knights
of Labor, arrived to-day 10 help the miners
in their strike.
He offered his services to Preside ent
Ratchford and after consultation it was
decided he should leave at once for
Thacker, w. Va, to assist in the move
ment 10 induce the miners of that distric.
TO Join the strike.
President Ratchford has no faith in the
plan which De Armitt, the Pittsburg one
rator, is trying to push 10 the front at this
time. He said: DE Armitt's policy has
always been TO thrust something npon
the public which appears feasible while
his com pany is getting the advantage of
low mining rates over other Pittsburg
operators"

VICTORIA, B. c., July 16.-News came
to-day that considerable trouble has arisen
in Japan in connection with the collec-
ton of the new income tax. At Nagoya
the statements of income supplied by the
taxpayers have all been rejected by the
officials as false. The officials claim the
amounts should be three TO ten times as
great as stated by the Taxpayers. Mer-
chants who dare to protest are confined in
a dark room and told to think the matter
over carefully. Some have been shut up
for twenty-four hours. One merchant who
MADE out his statement of wealth at
100000 yen was in this way compelled to
change it to million yen. Another was
ordered pere ptorily to increase his state
ment from 1000 to 60 600 yen. The mer-
chants are intensely indignant at these
proceedings and have petitioned the Gov
ernment to step them.

She was trying the animal with a view to

started to run she could not hold him.
She saw he was running away with ner
and let herself fall. She struck the ground
on her side and was severely bruised. No
bones were broken, but it is feared that
she is hurt internally, although her true
condition will not be known until to- NOR

develop. She is at present lying at the
