ed servant of his employer and the pre- mier whip on that coach line.
 The leathern wallet containing the notes was handed to him by an official at the bank. who instructed him under no circumstances to lose sight of It till 1t reached it's destination. He duly gave effect to his instructions. placing the wallet in the front boot, as 1t was eallen' underneath the driving-seat and where the coach "dined." having his dinner brought out and eating it on the box.
 When the coach arrived at the rendez- vous beyond Lsburn. the two Inside pas sengers confreres were not to be seen. After waiting few moments both guard and driver said 1t was impossible to wait longer, and the two inside must either continue their journey or remain behind. After some demur they chose the latter alternative and retraced their steps toward Lisburn.
 When the coach arrived at Armagh, to the horror and consternation of those in charge it was diseerned that the wal let containing the consignment was miss ing. The cloth in the inside had been cut, the hair stuffing removed, and the dividing panel between it and the boot had been sawed through and the wallet distracted.
 The whole robbery had been carefully planned. After abstracting the wallet the thieves replaced the panel and stuff fing and sewed up the cloth again, so that should any one go inside en route no disturbance would be perceptible. It was ascertained that the thieves obtain ed a conveyance in Lisbnrn, drove to Belfast, where they negotiated the notes for draft on Glasgow, made their way to Donaghadee, thence to Portpatrick and eventually to Glasgow.
 They were never captured. and to the present day it has remained a profound mystery how the information was ob- tained that the remittance was to be forwarded.

PULLMAN TRIAL
 WILL BE IN JUNE Two Important Witnesses Will
 Testify Then. PRISONER IN GOOD SPIRITS Captain White Heard Gonzales Say He Once Made Tillman Show the White
 Feather and Would Do
 It Again.
PRISONER IN GOOD SPIRITS

Columbia, s. C., April Swallowing yes terday's indictment by the grand jury of James H. Tillman, former Lieutenant. gov ernor of South Carolina, for the murder of N. G. Gonzales. editor of the State in this city, last January, and the fixing of today as the arraignment for the pris- oner, the counsel for the defense tais morning asked for a continuance of the case until the June term of court.
 Some such move had been anticipated, as yesterdays development in the order ing of a preliminary hearing today had been unexpected, it having been thought the case would be called next Monday, as previously announced.
 The grounds upon which the continuance was requested by the defense were the absence of two witnesses who, the defense allege, are of great importance 10 the 1 case. It is stated that one of the wit nesses, Captain A. J. White is expected to testify that MT. Gonzales went to The state house before the tragedy and in- qulred for Tlllman, stating that he had once made Tillman show the white l feather and would do 1t again." MlSS hOPCT Wiit
 The defense also claim that a Miss Roper trained nurse, who claims that she had heard Gonzales bitterly denounce Tillman, could not present her testimony today.
 It was claimed by the defense in asking for a continuance of the case that they could not go to trial in justice to their client without these witnesses, and es- pecially as they understood that Miss Roper would testify to additional threats that were not known to the defense at the time when the original affidavit was filed upon the former application for bail.
 Affidavits were presented to the effect that Captain White was i'll and Miss Roper was in New York.
 The prosecution, through Solicitor Thur mond and Col Andrew Crawford argued that the defense had not complied with the ruling of the court and that there was not sufficient showing on which to ask for a continuance and that the case should go to trial It was contended fur ther that the defense should have fully developed what the absent witnesses would have testified to. After a full dis cussion Judge I<lugh rendered his de- eision, continuing the case until next June.

WHY PASSES WERE LIMITED.
President MelIen, Of ehe Northern Pa.
citic, Explains Why Limits Were
Placed on Passes Given to Leeis-


Placed on Passes Given to Legis-
Iators.
The Legislators of this and adjoin-
ing states have made more or less
complaint because of the limitation by
the Northern Pacific Railway company
of their pass privileges. Some of the
legislators have Indignantly refused to
accept passes limited to the length of
the session and demand that they be
made good for the calendar year
President c. c. Mellen, of the North
ern Pacific, made the following state
erence to the matter
''The time limit on this years legis-
fative passes has been so misnnder-
stood that some public statement of
the reasons for the same seems de.
sirable For several years it has been
customary to issue passes good in
their several states to members-elect
of the various legislatures. Such
obligatory in any sense and were is
sued without regard TO the politics of
the recipient. Sometimes in previous
years such passes have been loaned
without consideration or for cash
equivalent Members have used such
passes to the capital the first of the
week and LETT them with the ticket
brokers for sale for short trips re-
ceiving them back in season for their
return trips home at the end of the
week. At the end of the session
passes have been sold outright by
those who had no further use for
them and we have taken them up in
the hands of improper persons on
trains. Sometimes travelling men and
wholesale merchants who have been
members have used their passes in
their business to the serious disad-
vantage of their competitors in trade
| who have therefore accused us of dis
elimination
For these reasons we have limited
the passes this year to the length of
the session, thus hoping to at least
! shorten the abuse Of the privileges
granted. To such as make proper use
I of their passeeS we VIII extend the
| same to enable members to more ef-
! fectively serve their state by keeping
| in closer touch with their constituents
/ than they would be able to do if re-
qulred to pay their fares out of the
very moderate compensation allowed
| by the state for mileage and services
| Abuses sought to be corrected were
confined to no stare nor TO any par
ticular member of any particular legis-
1 lature and those who used passes as
! intended We're to suffer no disadvan-
tage; only those who misused them as
1 time would show. were to be curtailed
in their privileges.
