Valuable Ground Won by a Ruse.

The convent Of San Francisco de As
siz, Lima, was founded on the same day,
as the capital of Peru, in 1886. The
church was built in the year 1868. This
church has 26 affairs and is the most
magnificent in Lima, both, internally and
externally. The affairs are extremely
rch and Of modern construction, =
Connected with this church there is a
very curious historical episode. The first
site assigned to the father of the order,
Fernando de la Cruz, for. the Franciscan
convent, was outside the city and very
SMALL The friars applied to the viceroy,
the Marquis de Canete, for more suit
able place, and he offered to give them
whatever ground they could inclose in
one night. Acting on this promise, the
monks collected the necessary materials,
and in the short time allowed they raised
four fences, one Of which completely
stopped up a. street, now called Gale
Aparicio, and thus inclosed whole
"manzana," OR plot of ground 100 yards.
square, containing an orchard and large
pond. The municipality of Lima pro-
tested against this act as an encroach-
ment on it's rights and demanded that the
street should be restored, but the viceroy'
had the ground in question valued and
paid for the same out of his own purse.

kentucky Court Of Appeals Decides
They Are Illegal.
:: FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 1.-THE tissue
ballot case from Ohio county has been
decided and the decision Is concurred
in by four Of the seYen judges of the
court. The court held that all ballots
should be printed on white paper suff:
GENTLY thick that the printing cannot
be distinguished from the back, and if
ballots are used at an election which do
not substantially comply with the law,
the election is not conducted as re-
quired by law and is invalid. The
opinion Of the court comes too late to
affect the decision Of the state election
commission, but sets q precedent for
the state contest board.
Another decision announced by the
court of appeals has an important bear
ing upon the late state election In Ken

ing perpetual tho writ OF prohibition
issued against Judge Tomey Of Louis

CHEYENNE, wy, Dec. 1.-THE de-
tails of most daring robbery are just
coming to light here. Between the
hours of 8 and 10 p. m. the Office of the
Pacific Express company was robbed of
several thousand dollars in money, and
although officers set at work on the
case immediately and the strictest Sc
crecy has been maintained not single
clue has been discovered. There is a
small force Of men in the express office
at night to handle express on incoming
and outgoing trains and when these
trains arrive the men have been in the
habit Of looking the Office. This was
done as usual and when the express
men returned 10 minutes later the
north door or city entrance was open as
was also tho safe door. Officials of the
express company refuse to state the
amount of money taken, which is re-.
ported to be between ST, 900 and SEA, 900.

WASHINGTON, Dec. /. The consid.
GRAFTON Of the case Of Mr.. Roberts of
Utah was resumed at ~ O'Clock by the
house Investigating committee. Mr..
Roberts being present to plead to GER
tain specific intsrrogatories which had
been framed. The proceedings contin-
ued to be behind closed doors, Mr..
Roberts was first asked if he conceded
the. existence OF the court record
wherein he plead guilty in 1880, under
the Edlnunds-T Tucker law This he
conceded. He was next asked whether
about 1890 or since 1890 he had married
plural wives and had lived with them
since that time as wives. TO the whole
OF this charge Roberts pleaded not
guilty and then demurred to the iuris.
diction of the committee for the follow.
ing reasons: f. E - 90 S..
First-On the ground of violation of
constitutional rights, in that it at
tempted to try him for crime without
presentment Of indictment by grand
jury, and without trial before Jury
and due process of law.
Second-That it was an attempt to
deprive him of vested property that he
held in the emoluments of an Office fo1
the full term.
Third-That tho only evidence that
could be rightfully considered lin the
committee, was q court record establish.
Ing the guilt, confessed or proven, Of the
representative-eleot, and that the com.
mittee has no right to consider any
other evidence. 49,.
Fourth-That tho crime alleged

tation 10 not enumerated in the Consti.
tuition 40 qualification for the Office Of
member Of congress, nor is it named in
any United States law applicable to
Utah or any other state.
Mr.. Roberts argued these points for
nearly two hours. referring to law
books and answering questions. It was
. legal controversy throughout, the
facts not being gone into at length.
Mr.. Roberts concluded by asking that
his prima fscie right to . seat be at
once considered, as the present status
denied to q sovereign state representa-.
ton in the house at time whom inju.
rious legislation affecting that state
might take place.
