fleet at Rio Janeiro, after two day des
ultory fiehtin?. made a determined at
tack in force and captured the city. It
is added President Peixeto has resigned
in favor of Admiral de Mello, and
that Peizuto is a prisoner. Though tbis is
a general rumor, it is right to add that
the people of Pernambuco'do Dot credit
it. A corresnendeut was unable to on.

something extraordinary has happened.

Washington, Dec. 22. The govern
ment has reci-iv l no advices indicating
the capture et Rio Janeiro, though it has
been believed (or some time that Penoto

reverses at any time. Otniaia are in
clined to think that if decisive results

The Cr nla Slurder.
Chicago, Dec. 33 Pile and evi leLtly
in grjut tear, Mrs. Au in Foy appeared
on the witi.Cft stanJ at tne " opening of
the (,'onnrhiin trial this morninsr, with a
Doliceman neur to iruurd Ler against
harm, which had been Carkly t.iuat
eued. The defend jeute l t her tea.-
timonv on the ground that evidence by u
wife calculated to implicate her husband
in a crime was incompetent. The un
derstandins was she wuuid tell of a ser
ies of meetings at her bouse, at which
Coucblin was rrcosciztd by all as the
leader, and that her husband afterward
confessed that at these meetings the plan
was formed which led to Dr. Crooin s
murder, and that her husband took part
in tne plot, and was preeent shortly after
the murder was committed. JutJir-' Tut-
hill finally decided 10 admit Mrs. Foy's
testimony, her evuleuce to be couhneJ
to what she saw and to what she said to
any one ot the consmra'ors. The exm
lnation then proceeded amid the mot
prt'lound a ienliOQ on the part of the
uudience.which filled the room, and with
constant pt'i ctiont- from the detense.
Her story in sulistanee was at lo lows:
She knew Couthlin, M.irun Barke and
Patrick Crouin, all of whom bad been at
her house. Conghlin apptared there
first in March or Aprii, 189 He vis
ited her husband several times, and they
talked in whispers. During eueot tnese
visits she surprised ht r - husband and
Coughlin. The latter was reading a let
ter aloud. Si.e caught the word, '-re
move him at all baztrds, but use your
discretion." Witn s then to'd of two
visits of Cronin a! which he and htr hus
band held, whispered conversation?, al
ways with the doars ciosea. JSlart'n
Burke also visited ber busbaud and
talked with him in private. He came
ag'iin the night of Alay 6, 18S9, two days
atier the Cronin murder This wis bit
terly loucht by defen-e, but the 'court
decided to adofit it, saying he would in
struct the jury !t merely tended to show
a conspiracy, but did not bear on Cough
lin's guilt. Continued, witness said that
Coughlin tailed May 12 and asktd for
ber husband. She told him she was
afraid her husband had been arrested .
Coughlin replied: Oh.' there's no proot
against us. He s all right. one said:
"Couglilin, tots is an a win I thing jou
have done.- Dr. Cronin will do you more
barm dead than alive," ''He laughed
and said : 'You need not worry. There's
no danger but you will be taken care of,
anyway. Don's "worry.' I asked him
who was to take care of roe and my lit
tle children. 'Oh,' he said, 'don't mind
about that. Alexander Sullivan is a
good ftiend ot your husband and of mine
and he will take care of you.' "
The deep silence in the courtroom at
tr.is point was broken by the prosecuting
attorney's resuming bis examination, and
then there was a buzz of comment
among tne spectators at iau starting
statement.
Witness continued : . ''Coughlin ctme
once before that time and told my bus-
baud what luck be bad in fooling Cap
tatu Schaak and Schuettler about Dr.
Cronin's body and where tbey put it."
Witness slid Cough'in several times as
sured her there was no danger of her
husband being molested. He told ber
that if she kept quiet she would be
well taken-jcare of- v This ended; the di.
rect examination and cross examination
began, going minutely into the details
of the relations of Mrs. Fov with Mrs.
T. P. Conklin, wife of the man with
whom Dr. Cronin boarded.
A Boycott Fight.
San Francisco, Dec. 23 The fight
between some 30 insurance companies
doing business in this ciij and certain
leading merchants rook a new form jes
terday. Thirty insurance ' com a-18',
who alleged u, first incendiarism and
then fraud, retnsed to ay a loss of over
$20,000 claimed by Bayer & Reich,
wholesale woeleua and ladies' furnishings
whose establishment recently burned.
Many other merchants in sympathy with
Bayer & Eeich began cancelling their
policies with the companies which refused
to pav, and in one day, it is said, ever
$500,000 insurance was withdrawn. The
Pacific Insurance Union comes lo the re
lief of these companies by passing a strin
gent resolution prohibiting any company
in the union from rewriting insurance
that has been canceled, to effect a boycott
of companies who are fighting Buyer &

Bold lesjeraloesj.
Parsons, Kan., Dee. 24 One of the
boldest train robberies ever attempted
ocenrred about 8 o'clock tonight at Sem
inole, I, T., oo,the Kansas and Arkansas
division of the Missouri Pacific. The
train was bound for Little Rock, and as
it approached the engineer saw a danger
sigua) and slowed up. Two or three men
boarded the engine and compcllei the
engineer and h reman to jump out of the
cab. A naif dozen other men, armed
with Winchesters and revolvers, were at
the side el the track. The balance of
the train crew, who ctme forward to as
certain the cause of the stoppage, were
coralled and placed in charge ol a guard.
The mai'-car was then attached and the
pouches rifled of their conleuts and the
letters in the pigeon-holes gone through
and the valuable contents extracted.
The express car was next looted of all
valuable matter, the messenger being
powerless to offer resistance. Then all
the passengers in the coaches were
stripped of valuables by eight heavily
armed desperadoes. - livery passenger
gave up without a struggle, glad to es
cape with a whole skin, and no violence
was offered. Big booty was secured, but
no estimate of the loss can be given. A
petee was organized as soou as possible.
and deputies are hot on the trail of the
robbers. It is probable a 'fight will en
sue it the gang is overtaken.
A party of young people from Coffey
ville, who were out driving, sat in their
conveyance close to the scene and wit
nessed the affair. Tbey were te first to
bring the news of the robbery to town.
Several gentlemen of tbis city, who do
business in the territory, ,were victims of
the brigands. Fortunately no one was
injured by the shooting, which was all
done by the robbers. One young man
who was in the smoker got up as the
robbers came in and walked ahead of
them through the different cars, in the
hope of avoiding them. When tbey got
to the rear of the last car they caught
bim. took bis wa'tch and $17. and. made
him jump off. He walked back to Cof
leyvillo, but was too badly ratt.ed to
describe the affair.
Drath or General J. W. Sprasne.
Oregonian, Dec. 26.
General John W, Sprague died in Ta
cuma Sunday. The general waa one of
the pioneers of that city and one of the
best knowa men in the Pacific North
west. His death waa expected, and when
be breathed his last bis wife and family,
excepting a son and daughter, were about
bis bed. General Sprague was one of
the three men appointed in 1870 to choose
a Western terminus for the Northern
Pacific, and saon after was made general
manager of the western . division of that
road. His headquarters were at Tacoma,
and since thea the main events in the
general's life are a part of the history cf
the City of Destiny and the Pacific
Northwest. His health eventually gave
way, and in 1883 the general was com
pelled to resigu his position with the
Northern Pacific. A short rest was suffi
cient to bring back his health, and the
latter part of the same year General
Sprague founded the """acorn National
bank, serving us its first president, and
continuing in that position for five years,
when he retired to private life. General
Sprague was also president of the Union
Savings Bank aud Trus'. Company for
several terms, besides being identified
with several representative mercantile
firms In 18S4, through the efforts of the
general, the chamber of commerce was
organized, and be was chosen its first
president. The same year the general
was elected maysr of Tacoma. The last
time the general engaged in public af
fairs was upon the admissina of Wash
ington as a siate, when he was presented
s a candidate for United States senaiar.

ITF3IS IN BRIEF
From Saturday's laily.
Mr. C. E
Mi'Eweu, of North Yakima, is
in I lie city.
A ciuil fog ham; over the city thii morn
ing, aud the an was nold a id chilly
Street improvement i still to foward, and
new crosswalks are being plaued where
needed.
Mr. S. U. Hawson and wi't, of Arling
ton, are registered at the UuiatiUa House
to-da.
J he sale at trank Yoi'ts store was
largely attended to-day, and goods were
disposed of quite lively' at fair prices.
A Chinawoman was arrested this after
noon for robbery. She wis takeu to the
county jul, and the facts will appear on
examination.
While the outlook for sheepgrowers is so
discouraging many will agiin turn their at
tention to cattle raialng, which was once a
profitable industry he e and may bi again,
une would not consider that 'lmes were
hard after witnessing the crowd of women
aud chihlreu at Pease ft Mays' store this
ai ernoon, and eacn one leaving with arms
full of goods. With a largely iucreased
force of cleris it was impossible to wait on
tj e irowd of customers.
C'has. Chesler, who was arrested yester
day afternoon for larceny in a dwelling had
his examination to-day before Justice
Schutz, and placed under 200 bail to an
swer the charge before the next rand
jury. In default of furnishing bonds he
was committed to the county jail.
Condon Globe: Stock Inspector 'Lewis A.
Miller, of Lone Rock, was in town Wednes
day. He has just finished his inspection,
and makes the following report: Number
of sheep in Gilliam county, 111,925; num
ber of bands, 70; number of bands dipped,
4. V.here is only one band now affected
with scab, and they hav . been carefully
dipped, and are almost well again.
A dispach from Koseburg under date of
December 20 says: The trial of County
Treasurer Arrington, which has been going
on for the past week, went to tbe Jury this
morning. After being out half an hour
they returned a verdict of guilty as per in
dictment, and recommended, him to the
mercy of the court. Arrington was in
dicted for 'arcenj .of between $22,000 and
$23,000 public money.. The defense has
moved for a new trial.
It will be remembered that about two'
months ago one C. W. Lewis, a traveling
b ok agent, hired a horse, saddle and
bridle of one of our liverymen, T. E. Cruiks
hank, saying that be wished to go to Hep
pner and would be gone a vtvek. He is
still gone, fays the Condon Globe. Mr.
Cruik'hauk has just learned that from Hep
pner the fellow went to John Day, where he
sold the entire outfit, and then lit out f-r
greener fields and pastures new. The fel
low told here that his home was near Ante
lope, but inquiry to that effect has revealed
tbe fact that he is not o:ily a horse thief
but also the biggest liar in the world.
-' A landslide occurred thi3""ni0ruing"ahout
two and a half miles west of M osier on the
line of the Union Facific. A freieht train
from Portland was the first to run into the
obstruction, and the engine was thrown
down an embankment about fifty feet,
and two box cars left the track and piled on
top of the locomotive. The engineer and
brakeman jumped and escaped uninjured.
This caused a delay of the mixed train to
this city, dus at 1 o'clock, and about 3
o'clock a mixed train was made up and pro
ceeded to Portland. It is expected that
the passengers will be transferred acrois
the obstruction this evening; but the road
will be cleared in time for the passage of
No. 1 to-morrow morning. The work
was done this afternoon under great diffi
culties, for the lnud and rock would fill in
almost as rapidly as removed.
Salem Statesman: At- the semi-annual
meeting of the board ot regents of the state
agricultural college held at Corvallis
Wednesday Attorney General Chamberlain
and Judge Burnett of Corvallis were in
structed to do what they can in the matter
of recovering the state college tunds (about
$17,G66) that had been placed in tbe Job
bank of Corvallis by Treasurer Shipley of
tbe board of regents before the bank we'it
under. Tbe claim is made on tbe part ot
the regents that this money was not on de
posit with the bank, bat was simply a
trust by it for the college. If this view is
the correct one, it is said there will be but
little difficulty in its recovery. At the
meet ids ou Wednesday the regents exam
ined tbe reports of tbe officers and faculty
of tbe college. These showed the school to
be in a prosperous condition.

Christmas.
The Christian iestiv.il wis properly ob
served in this city, and very m.iny reunions
were had in families, aud tokens of love
and remembrance were exchanged. Christ-
mis a holiday has great significance' with
all people in Chriateod mi, and the anniver
sary of the advent of the Sjvinr-into the
world is bailed with joy by all classes.
The day before thu festival is generally de
vo'ed to preparation for a proper observ
ance of the' event. Christinas Eve this
year b -ing Sundiy, the aicrednesi of the
diy forbade any secular fsitivities. .Our
m erchant; nr.il r uiauyale, and no one
vt&uld suriui j. that times were duller than
formerly. Ad t ry Sarnl-iy the stre.ts were
crowded with people, residents of tbe city
aud visitorsfrom the couutry. Tho mid
night mass at St. Putcr'a Citholio church
was largely attended, and the impressive
s-Tvio s were listened to with marked at
tention. All placas of bustn ss were o'osel yester
day, and; although rain fell steadily during
the forenoon, tne weather was nut consid
ered severe. It would have been more in
keeping wi h tbs memories of the day in
the past for ouow to have covered the
grouud, and tho merry tingle of sleigh bells
to have sounded through tha streets.
Masses were celebrated in the morning
and vespera and benediction in the-evening
at St. Peter's Catholic church, and a choral
service was rendered in St. Paul's Episcopal
church in the forenoon. These were the
only religious services during the day.
" Stole Beef Cattle. '
East Oregonian.
A telegram was sent to Sheriff Gose, of
Walla ''Walls, Thursday morning, stating
that a number of b-ef cattle bad been
stolen from Frank Siliog and others, and
driven off the Umitilla reseryation. He
was asked to look after the'' thieves.
Deputy Sheriff E'libgsworth was detailed
to inquire as to any suspicions characters
seen in the city and discovered that two
young men who evidently proved to be
Chas. Marsh and Frank Brad burn called at
John Kent's meat market and offered beef
cattle for sale. The two men were ar
rested on suspicion and the cattle found in
their possession. In the meantime Deputy
Sheriffs Richey and Stamper had arrived in
Walla Walla. Tney took possession of the
prisoners.
The young men passed themselves off
nnder the assumed names of Grant and
Hagan at Walla Walla, and claimed to be
from Juniper. They had seven bead of
cattle in all, and offered tbem at $10 per
bead. Deputy Sheriff Stamper arrived in
Pendleton to-day with the prisoners. Tbe
examination has been set for to-morrow
afternoon in Justics Bishop's court. The
case is a dangerous oue, and young Brad
barn will be apt to repeat his experience in
the penitentiary, with Marsh to keep him
company.
An Eventful Career.
The steamer Inland Star has changed
owners. This morning Deputy Sheriff
Phirinan offered the little craft for sale, in
pursuance of a writ of execution, and after
some desultory bidding she was sold to B.
S. Huntington, the attorney for tbe parties
for whom it was sold. Tho Inland Star has
enjoyed a short, but eventful career. Her
keel was laid in the door yard of her de
signer, Captain Keonedy.and was afterward
transported by means ot horse power to the
shores of tbe lordly Columbia, into whose
bosom she was plunged without the impos
ing ceremonies that usually attend the
launching of a modern Leviathan of the
deep. To this defect may be attributed ber
subsequent ill fortune. On ber first veysge
she was forced to tie u before she reached
A- -I
Bottom an'
hsr destination, aud she afterward struok a
rock off Hood River, and lay for a time at
the bottom of the river. She was finally
raised and started forth once more to revo
lutionize the freight aud passenger traffic of
the Middle Columbia; but it was only to
fall into the olntjtVs of Sheriff Ward, who
has hold her tightly ever since, excepting,
however, one time when a violent wind
storm blew her from her moorings and
across to the H s,hintou side of the river;
but she was leuoyend, and was this morn
ing sold to satisfy the claims of unfortunate
creditors, despite the objections of her gal
lant captain who forbade the sale.

The first vessel built in the Willamette
alley was tho Star of Oregon. Joseph
Gale b-aded the enterprise, and launched
little craft May 19, 1841. That waa

ratt to San Frsncisco, sold it and invested
the proceeds in lire-stock. He orgauiaed
company o' colonists and drove overland
to Oregon 1 250 head of cattle, 600 horses
and mules, and nearly 3000 sheep. This
stock was sold to the settlers and did much
make them prosperous. Joseph Gale

and trying day in Oregon. In 1843, he,
with Alauson B?ers and David Hill, consti
tuted the executive committee ot the first
provisional government, performing jointly
