the wonderful four days' examination
cf Mine. Joniaux, the accused woman,
and all Europe is marveling at her
splendid courage and amazing resources
ot mind before her accusers.
Occupying a high position in one of
the lire, families in Belgium, Madam
Jonieux io accused of killing by poison
bar sister, uncle and brother to profit by
the insurance on their lives. The evi
denceof guilt whioh has come to light is
so strong that the public was convinced
of hor guilt in advance of the trial and
their detestation of the crime was so
great thare was a popular clamor for the
woman's head.
reaction of oriNioN,
When hor four days' duel for life
with the presiding magistrate waa
finished Inatoveniag there was a strong
reaction of public sentiment in her
favor. The judge was merciless in
pursuit of damaging details. Mme.
Joniaux, a woman of 51 yearg, self-pos
sesaed, undaunted faced him throughout
with the air of an accused queen who
scorned her occusern. Evidence and in
sinuations, often proaented with crafty
and orushmg force, tbat would havo
overwhelmed a master of statecraft, she
parried and even turned to advantage,
ADMISSIONS.
She made moat astounding admissions
in the moat matter of fact manner. It
was true, ahe aaid, she bed destroyed
many papers wbich might have been
dainaginir 'o her, but had not done so
deliberately. It was true she had
pawned her own jewelry and that of
other people. True she had borrowed
money whenever eho could induce peo
ple to lend. She did not deny she wrs
a gambler, that she had been accused of
cheating at cards in tbe houses of friends
and had lest and wou at Monto Carlo.
These stratagems of obtaining money
were due, not so much to her owu pe
cuniary embarrassment aa an anxiety
to t.elp poarer members of the family.

Washington, Jan. 12.—Secretary Gresham,
Fenor Romero, the Mexican minister, and
Major llutton of the t'nited Slates engineer
corps, had a conference Tor nn hour and a half
today St thS state department respecting tho
appointment of a commission to provide a
system of irrigation for the south
west by dammiiu: the It io Grando river.
Authority for tho appointment of such
a commission is already lodged in tho
president by legislation. The talk WSJ purely
informal and took a hroad ranire, the suhject
being discussed from nn international point of
view, as well as an economic proposition. One
ohieelion to tiie scheme which seemed to strike
tho conference with somo force was the sug
gestion that any dammed rlvor would be sure
to till up giadunily from the deposit of soil
brought down from tho mountain head wa'ers,
nnd so the supply of water lor irrigation pur
poses WOOld diminish, and in the end serious
controversies would arise ov.-r its distribution.
The suhject will bj further discussed before
any attempt is made to reach a conclusion.

Omaha, Nsb., Jan. 12.—A special to
the Bee from Ottumwa, lowa, Bare:
1 lifli way men trot in their work tonight.
It was ono of the moat daring train rob
bories ever attempted. It was executed
on the Burlington passenger train No. 4,
near this city, tonight. No. 4 is the
Burlington's through passenger train
from Denver to Chicago and camcs largo
quantities of mail and baggage. It was
not known that tho train carried a
mora valuable cargo of mail or express
tonight than usual, or if it was kept
quiet, but it seems tbat two bold
robbers knew that tbe express
would make a valuable haul, and they
planned to bag it. They held up the
train, but molested nothing but the ex
press car, though after they bad fin-,
iehed this job they stood for 10 minutes
and waited for the train to stop long
enough to have robbed tbe mail cars or
the passenger coaches.
CAPTURED TUB MEBSENGER.
The agent at Ohillloothe, a small vil
lage several railej west of here, says he
saw two men about tbe depot in the af
ternoon, and when No. 4 arrived at 6:30
p. m. there were on tbe platform, but
disappeared while tho train was standing
at fhe station. When the heavy string
of cars began to move out of the station,
the two express messengers aud bag
gagetuon shut the side doors of the car,
for the vi md was blowing strong and
cold, Express Messenger Page stepped
to the ond door at the front of the car,
which, thoujjh usually necurotl and tna
tened, was loft unlocked by some one
passing through it. He meant to
lock it and was just stopping to do it
when the door opened and the two
men sprang inside. They cried, "hold
up your hands," on j running to the
rear of tiio car to cover the assistant
and baggageman, Ed Wright. The
trainmen, taken by surprise, threw up
their h.intlo.
The robbers oompsllsd then to bunch
in a corner of ttie car, and one kept
them covered with two big pistols while
the other bound and gagged thorn.
He then turned his attention to
the eaie, which he unlocked with the
keys taken from Page's packets, etuftinir
the comento of the safe into a big sack
which thoy hud with them. At this
point the mail clerk in the adjoining
apartment came in, attracted oy tho
noise, and ho immediately received ths
bind and gag treatment, and was thrown
in the corner with the others.
A SACK FULL OP MONEY.
After filling the sack tbe robbers
quietly awaited until ths train whistled
uui slackened spued for the Milwaukee
railroad crossing, a mile west of town,'
showing by ove'y notion perfect famil
iarity with the lay of the land and
habit: of the train. When the train
stopped for the crossing they both
jampsd to the door, sprang out and
started on a run across the Das Moines
river. By this litne the baggageman
had worUed himself loose from the
thongs which bound him and he released
bis companions just aa the train wat
pulling into the Ottumwa depot. The
al inn was given and an engine with a
posse sent uut to Chillicotho, where no
night agant is rotained by tbo company.
Another posse was led by a Burlington
detective, Jim Harrison, who recently
had a desperate tight with bandits at
Batuvia, in which one was killed. This
one rtartod frutu Ottumwa, and tho
search tor tbs robbers waa a hasty one.
OLD HANDS.
It io behoved thoy escaped to an
island in the river, from whara it is
thought tho? crossed to the opposite
tide of the river und escaped by horses
hidden in the woods, and from
there to the abandmod coal mines
near Aiiua, where thsre is no
question that a gang of moonshiners
make their headquarters. It was the
theory of the railr ad men that the two
men belong to this gang, members of
wliich assaulted Deputy United States
Marshal Wrny with shotguns a short
time ago and released one of their num>
ber under arrest, nearly killing Wray.
the robbers wore medium sized men.
Tbey wore caps with drop masks to
them. One had on gray jeans nnd the
other overalls, and both wore brown
overcoats. Adaina Express officials in
this city disclaim any knowledge of
ths amount taken, but it is balieved to
be several thousand dollars. The train
men think that from the coolness dis
played by the bandits, they are old
hands at the business, probable recent
ly from the territory, wbo planned this
raid alter careful study.
OttOjjwa, Jan. 12—Local officials at a
into hour estimated the amount taken
at ?Sl)00. But on account of it being tbe
habit of banks in small towns to send
money toChicego on Saturday night, it
is believed tbe amount is much larger.

18!>4, Grider & Dow put their Brit Walter and
Adams street tr.cts (comprising oyer seven
hundred lots) on sale, the prices were so satis
factory that 125 lots were sold in one day.
Ffve hundred lots havo been sold in nine
months and over one hundred homos have
been built. Miles of streets bare been graded
and graveled, cement walks and curbs laid,
water piped and the streets aro sprinkled. Two
thousand shade trees are now making a luxur
iant growth on these streets. Tho "boom"
speculator who lost his money now has a
chance to "get oven," for these lots are increas
ing in value very rapidly on account of the
many improvements being made. Tourists
and homeseekers should visit this tract and
buy now while you can "got in on tho ground
floor." Take the Central avenue car 3 at the
corner of Second and Spring streets to beauti
ful Adams street and see what has been done
in the short space of one year.

The Central Avenue Section of tin City.
The Tide Finally Turned Bart of
Main Street and Towards the
Southern Portion.
Until about a year ago lt waa next to Impos
sible to sell a piece of property unless it was
in the southwestern part of the city. Buyers
would go in that direction from two to Aye
miles from the business center, until it became
generally known that there was amnch health*
ier location, on higher ground, at loss than
half that distance, where there was sandy loan
soil, witb graded streets, electric roads and ali
city privileges, and where lots could be bought
at one-fourth of the prices asked in the south'
western part of the city.
Since that time nine new subdivisions havi
been made in that locality, more than sixteen
miles of new streets graded, 1200 building loti
| sold, and more than 500 residences built, all
the latter being now occupied. In Orider*
Dow's Adams street and Brlswalter traota
alone more than one hundred houses have
been built. On these tracts there are five
miles of graded st reets and seven miles of ce
ment sidewalks and curbs, and 1500 shads
trees have been planted.
Shrewd speculators and homeseekers an
taking advantage of the low prices in this sec
tion, for it Is plainly scon thnt an Investmen'
made now will double in value in the next
few months. These are facts that cannot bl
disputed. The hundreds of buildings, new
streets and public improvements made in thi
last six months speak more than words. It II
well worth a trip down Central avenue to the
orange groves south of the city. Since the new
double-track electric line has been running,
tbe ride from the corner of Second and Sprint
street to beautiful Adams street takes only tat
minutes.
