How $1ooooo Was Stolen From an
 Irish Stagecoach.
From Tit-Bits.

From Tit-Bits
 In the first quarter of the past century 1t became necessary for the Bank of Ire land, at Belfast, to send a large sum of money in notes to its branch of Armagh to meet a special requirement there, the amount to be remitted being almost s2O,- GOO.
 Only two courses were open to the management to effect this, one being to send a special messenger in a post ehaise and the other to send the con- sgnment by the mailcoach. The latter was the mode of transportation chosen.
 The coach left Belfast on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12 o'clock noon, returning from the archepiscopal city each Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- day.
 On the previous afternoon of the day in question a stranger called at the coach office and booked four inside seats to Armagh, paying for them in advance. Just prior to the starting of the coach two men only put in an appearance. ex- blaming that the other two passengers would join them en route at a place be- yond Lisburn. The mail coach was in charge of John Byers, and old and trust

CAPT. wERNEcKE's EXPERIENCE
Was Put to Much Inconvenience By
 Honduran Gunboat Tatumbla.

New Orleans, April S.-Captain War neelle of the Norwegian steamer David, which has arrived here from Ceiba, Span ish Honduras, reports an exciting experi- ence with the Honduran gunboat Ta- tumbla.
 The David was off the north coast of Honduras when the Tatumbla hove in sight and commanded the merchant ma rine to put into Utilla against the orders of the captain on the David. The Tatumbla was in command of Colonel Vilarde, who put a half-dozen Honduran soldiers on board the David to insure the proper carrying out of his orders Captain Warnecke of the David objected saying that he had no business at Utila and protested against go- ing so far out of his course. The com- mander of the Tatump1a was determined and insisted that the David proceed where he ordered her to go.
 Captain Warnecke argued that he was off the coast of Honduras looking for which was his objective point, but he had to submit to the humiliation of changing his course and steam to Utilla. The cap tain of the David feared that Colonel Yilarde was up to some trick and meant to seize his ship to transport govern ment troops from that place to the mainland, or maybe the Tatumbla was short of coal and wanted a full supply from the David.
 The David anchored off Utlla, which is a small island off the northeast coast of Honduras. for the night and left the fol- lowing day without being boarded by any troops.
 pfoi dad to Cortez harbor and informed Admiral Coughlan of what had happened, two United States vessels going at once In search of the Tatumbla, but from last accounts they had not located the troublesome craft The day the David sailed from Ceiba everything was quiet there, with the revolutionists still in control
 The David brought but half cargo of fruit.
