Mount Vernon. N. y. Sept. 9.-Iu
broad daylight a $1,000 burglary was
committed in Mount Vernon and one of
the robbers was a woman. This much
Is positively known. The police have
sought TO suppress the news OF the bur-
6lary, but the story has leaked out
Burglaries have been reported all along
the sound for some time. and always
the clever criminals have made good
their escape
The robbery of the home OF Mr. and
Mrs. Bertram II. GARNER. at $3.50 Union
avenue, was effected as neatly as the
others and bears the stamp Of the
handiworl Of the same hand.
Mr.. and Mrs. GARNER have been mar
ried lately. He is a trusted employee Of
the Bank of Mount Vernon. and the
couple have just settled down to do
nestle life with Mr.. and Mrs sharp.
Mrs. Carmer's parents. They had In the
house many valuable wedding presents
OF solid silver and cut glass ware.
During their absence woman who
lives in the neighborhood says that
while sitting on the porch she observed
tall man and n short, plump woman
approach the house They loitered
about awhile, and then the man went
up the stoop and tugged twice at the
doorbell This was evidently done TO
assure the thieves that no one was az
home, for on receiving no answer to re-
peated rings the pair went around the
back Of the house.
The neighbor went into her house.
paying no attention to the incident, un-
I'll the Carmers told of the robbery.
Found the House In Confusion.
When the GARNER family returned
60 their home. they found their rooms
in the greatest confusion. Every room
had been gone through. Bureau draw
ers and their contents Uttered the floor
They discovered that every one OF the
silver and cut glass wedding presents
that had adorned the buffet in the din
Ing room had been stolen.
A closet containing Mrs. Carmer's
choicest gowns was completely stripped,
and many articles OF jewelry still re-
main TO be accounted for
Entrance was made through a rear
window leading into the kitchen. The
description furnished the police by the
woman who saw the woman burglar
and her companion is good. She says
the woman was short. plump. blond
and pretty and wore black skirt with
n white silk shirt waist and white straw
sailor hat with a black band. There
was nothing distinctive about her at
tire, however. She carried a rather
large hand satchel
The man was tall and gaunt and
dressed entirely in black He had high
cheek bones, a fiorid complexion and a
large brown mustaohe The police are
working assiduously, but as yet without
result.
The authorities at New Rochelle ant
other towns along the sound are SURE
the same persons are responsible for al
the robberies. The fact that a younl
and pretty woman Is one OF the bur.
glars, perhaps the leader of the band
has stirred the police to extraordinary
activity, and they are determined tC

R4ILWAT TO BIG BUG MINES.
Santa Fe Company to Extend a Branch
From Prescott.

PRESCOTT, ARIz., April 30.-President
Frank NJ. Murphy of the Santa Fe, Pres
colt and Phoenix Railway has formally
announced that his company has in view
the construction of a standard-gauge rail-
way from this point to the Big Bug min
ing district, twenty-five miles south. This
i'm portant announcement is believed to
be sufficient to secure the establishment Of
a smelter in this city. This project has
hung fire only through the lack of facili-
ties for transporting the rich ores OF the
southern mountains.
The district to be tapped is one of the
richest in Arizona, with hundreds of we'll
developed mines of gold, silver and cop
per. The gold ores are mainly found IN
refractory form, necessitating smelling or
concentrating. The Southern Pac fic Com
pany has made survey from Phoenix to
Big Bug, and at one time it had gathered
at Ph9nix a large amount of material,
ready for begin ming construction. The
distance from Phoenix is about eighty
miles.
The Prescott Cham Der of Commerce has
taken hold OF Mr.. kelly's proposition wit
a good deal OF energy, and substantial in
ducements will be offered by the business
men of the city TO secure the early con-
struction of the road.

Officers Of YOlO
County.
Drive LeffingWelPS Men From
a Train Which They Had
Boarded.
The IdIers Divided Into Squads and
Dispersed In Different
Directions.

WOODLAND, CAL, April 30.-The In
dustrial Army, headed by General" Will
liam Leffingwell. which struck cam near
Davisville on Wednesday, boarded the
northbound freight train at Davisville
this morning and announced its intention
of riding to this city. The train crew made
an effort to eject the men. but without sue
cess. Special Officer Ahern of Sacramento
was dispatched to the scene. Sheriff
Griffin was notified and Immediately sum-
moned all his deputies and the local Off
GERS to the depot awaiting the arrival of a
special train to carry them to Davisville.
In the meantime Officer Ahern organized
the train crew and constables into posse.
The Oroville freight train, going in the
same direction, was soon due and Detec-
tive Ahern did not want to fight for the
possession of both trains. He did not
disturb the Industrials until No. 81 had
had pulled out OF the station and was well
on its way to Woodland.
The posse then began operations. a
big fellow, whose name was not given. as
sumed the leadership of Leffingwelps
army, and was inclined to be obstinate.
He weighs about 300 pounds, and boasts
of having at one time been policeman
in Rhode Island. Officer Ahern took him
by the collar and ordered him to get off
the train. Alter some hesitation he
obeyed, and the rest was easy. His fol-
lowers speedily followed his example.
They lined up along the road, but allowed
the train to pull out without full Their mo-
lestation. The army then returned to
camp, and notified the railroad men that
they would board the next train and ride
at all hazards.
Ahern came to Woodland on a special.
and returned to Davisville with Sheriff
Griffin and his men. They held parley
with the industrials, and informed them
that they must obey the law. They
would be transported from Davisville by
the railroad company to different places
in squads, but could not leave in body.
Leffingwell and his lieutenant, Cor
bett, were sent to San Francisco. His fol-
lowers, left without leaders and fright
ened by the determined stand taken by
the officers, accepted the proposition, and
are now dispensing. They were supplied
with provisions to last until they could be
transported.
For awhile it was feared that the army
would resist and that serious fight be-
tween them and the officers would ensue.
Some of the army offered resistance, but
were quickly squelched.
This afternoon Sheriff Griffin, who is on
the spot, held another parley with the men
and read them lecture. say ing they must
leave as urged and unless they did SO force
would be used to disband them. Every
train now carries from'eigh to ten of the
army and many are leaving afoot, going
in different directions. Most of the men
are we'll dressed and do not look like ordi-
nary tramps, yet a numbe of convicts,
who are known by the officers, are in the
ranks of the army

The delegates departed from the city

sion. No bitter feud. remain to be ad-

1t was after the jury entered their room
for elaboration that Judge Cook ordered
DR.. Mcintosh arrested for committing
perjury. The point on which the court
said the doctor had testif ed falsely was in
regard to his discovery" OF the fiftieth
stub from which the forged draft was
torn. This book was found in Sanders
desk at his ranch shortly after his arrest.
Sheriff Scott and Deputy Peck and mem
bers of the Grand Jury which indicted
the professor counted the blanks carefully
and found only forty-nine, or one less
than there are usually in such books.
This was an important point for the prose-
cution, az it contended that the missing
blank was the one on which the forged
draft was written. DR.. Mcintosh had the
book in his hands and after this stub
was found in the center of the book, max
ing the fiftieth. He knew that the prose
cutIon was after him, and SO to shield
himself ne volunteered the statement in
court the other day that he had seen that
hidden" stub while witness was turn
ing the leaves. This was before he was
intrusted with the book.
Mcintosh swore against the record. Be-
sides this Judge Cook ventured the opin-
ion that Mcintosh inserted the stub, the
book showing indications of having been
altered.
DR.. Mcintosh formerly conducted a
commercial school in Fresno, and being
well known his summary arrest has
caused quite a sensation.

VICTORIA, B. c., Apri! 30.-When the

two cases of smallpox were on board not

it was very inccnvenient for passengers

DR.. Watt, quarantine officer, on account
of smallpox having resulted from allow
ing the Northern Pacific liner Victoria to
go some months ago before her full time

There are 140 cabin passengers and 600
Chinese aboard, and when the steerage
passengers were taken ashore, stripped
and disinfected with a disagreeable smell

them and baked, it was all right. But
when the quarantine officials approached
the cabin passengers yesterday and po-
litely said, Your turn next, there was
wrath and indignation from the knlcker-
hockered Londoners who protested against
the audacity of the impudent colonlals IN
daring to offer to battle real live Eng

Excellency Chang, ambassador from

diamond jubilee in London. he IS &C
com panied by large suite of gorgeously
attlred Chinese, and they. IKE their
countrymen, do not understand Western

on an attempt to put the Emperor OF
China by proxy under fumigation. His
Excellency has refused point blank to IN
dergo fumigation, and not only has the
Dominion Government been appealed TO,

PORTLAND. Or, April 30.-The Cor
oner's inquest over the bodies OF, those
killed in the East side streetcar accident
resulted in the following verdict:
1T is our opinion that the axle on said
car was broken at the reverse curve, a short
distance east OF where the said car left the
track, thereby weakening the brakes on
the front truck to such an extent that the
car with the momentum acquired by it
coming down the grade,irom East Twelfth
street was beyond control"
The consensus. of opinion is that this
would not have happened had not the car
been run down the incline at more than
double the speed allowed under the city
ordinance.

Chiricahua Mountains last week. He
started to reach the summit of Dos Cabe

his body was found at the bottom of a
