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.

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.

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 & Keich . 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. i.rsiper:ite Battle in the Bark.

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.

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.

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 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.
