Vallcj holdup at Semlnolo , I. T. . Sunday
I'vrnii't' readied l-HUe Hock at 2:1. : > this
afternoon , when the robbed train arrived.
Semmole. the scene of the robbery , is nine
miles south of Coffoyville. Kan. There is no
town there and nothing to mark the spot
save a side track and a small platform.
Train No. 232 reached Semlnolo Sunday
shortl > nfter dark. The switch had been
turned throwing t.ne train 02 the siding.
1 he switch is on a heavy tip-grade and the
train soon came to a standstill. There were
no cars upon tlie track , as at lirst reported.
\\hon the train stopped three men sprain ;
upon iho engine and began by robbing Kngi-
nrcr Harris , of his watch and f40 in cash.
. Made it Clciu : Mverji.
Tlii\v then proceeded to iho mall car and
rilled the mail pouches. Mail Clerk H. H.
PinrkiiPV , who was in charge , was forced to
deliver the registered packages. After ab-
utractine thu cash , the letlcrs were handed
hack lo the clerk. Pinekney was relieved of
his watch and S" > cents in change , 25 cents of
which vas returned to him to buy a lunch.
An entrance to the express rnr was gained
without resistance on the part of the express
tnessPiicer as there was nothim : of value on
board. The robbers commanded Messenger
Pord lo open the safe , from which they took
two small packages , value unknown , and jlOO
In money.
Finishing their work in the express car ,
Ihe robbers lurncd their attention to the
coaches. Two men went through the cars
while the other maintained a coastanl llring
on ihe outside. So much time hud been con
sumed in robbing the mail and express cars
that the passengers had ample opportunity
to secrete their valuables and verj little of
value was obtained in the coaches.
Wiitrlirs mid Overcoats Taken.
The robbers appropriated all the overcoats
ind watches in the car , but the sum total of
the cash they secuied will approximate luss
than * 500. Several passengers saved large
iuns : by hiding their purses under tlie car
seats. Hoth of the men who went through
the coaches were younc fellows , neither
being over il. and had the appearance of
being unsophisticated countryyouihs. When
they went through the sleepers they dis
played an utter ignorance of sleeping cars.
The robbers did not use any abusive lan
guage to the passengers and offerea no vie
lence. None of the passengers were armed
nnd there were no acts of heroism or un
usual incident.
The train was held one hour and twenty
minutes. H is slated | > osilively that tl.o
railroau officials hero have the names of the
four robbers and it is believed their capture
h only a question of a few days.
Chief of Detectives Thiel , who has been nt
work on the Oliphant robbery , was In the
city and Immediately on receipt of the news
of the holdup Sunday evening left on a spe
cial train for the scene of the crime , reach
ing there a few hours after the bandits had
taken their departure.

WA HIXOTON. Dee. U.V Joseph Donjon , the
man who has been writing threatening
letters to a numbcrof prominent public men
durinc the last two weeks , is In Jail tonight.
He walked into the detective bureau of
James A. McDevltl this afternoon asking
for food. The detective took him into n
coffee house nnd had something prepared for
him to cat. meantime questioning him , nnd
learned enough to lix his Identity. Ho
started toward the st&tion house with hi
man and on his way met Detective Ned
'ttoedon ana George Boyd , in whose hands
he placed him.
H will be remembered a letter from this
man to Senator Mills a few days ago canted
the senator's son , Charles 11. Mills , tosocuio
leave from the authorities to go armed for
the protection of his father. This was the
cause of bringing the man's acts more prom
inently before the public. For several
months pist he has been yrrltln ? similar let-
teis to a number of prominent nubile men ,
among whom are Vice President Stevenson ,
Senators Gorman , Mills , Sherman , and as
the man himself claims. President Cleve
land and Secretary Lament. As long ago as
ilurinff the tight over the silver question In
the senate 'Vice President Stevenson re
ceived letters daily from Donjr.n , who was
then in Newark , N. J. No attention was
pain to them , and they were consigned to the
waste basket as fast ns they arrived.
lle'K n Youngster.
The vice president today received one
dated from 401 Leigh street , this city. A
number of reporters were at the First pre
cinct station to see the man. and he talked
very freely to all of them. Ho is 23ears .
old , about five feet ten inches in height ,
weighs IbO or UK ) pounds , is dark and sallow ,
has a creasy complexion , small , dark mus
tache , and has a rather slnucliy look about
him. He has drooping eyelids which usually
accompany ti brooding , melancholy disposi
tion. 1'iie man's manner of relating his
story gives ample evidence that ho docs not
belie his appearance in this respect. He
talks very rationally and with a rather
btudiea effort to avoid any appearance of
bitterness or the expression of anarchistic
views.
Donj.tn is an Austrian by birth and lays
stress upon the assertion that he is a Catho
lic and professes n degree of piety. His story
is that he came to this country when 15
years old and had been a telegraph operator
in the old country. He manifested consider
able pride in his nationality , out denies with
spirit the public btatumeut that he is a
"Pollock. "
He gave up telegraphing when he came to
this country because there is some slight
diftereaco in the instruments and in the
alphaoct.
"Under these circums tanccs1 he continued ,
"if I had secured a job they would have sent
me to some remote ofllce in the far west ,
where there are coyotes and other danger
ous creatures.
HRH a Good Trade.
He became a bencn molder after he came
hero and claims to have worked fora time
at Salem , O. , as well us the wire works in
Jotmstoun at the time of the great Hood
there , but was in Pittsburg on that particu
lar occasion. Later , with his father , mother
and brother , he went to Newark , N. J. , and
last spring , having been out of employment ,
went west to Washington and Iduho and
prospecttd for cold there.
He tells a rather fearful tae of dangers
he encountered from rough miners in that
country and says no man who was not will
ing to spend Ins earnings in drunnennnss
and debauchery was permitted to stay there.
He went back to Newark nud claims to have
been endeavoring to secure worn there ever
since. He says he lived with his father and
mother and brother at 12-5 Burnett street.
This agrees with the address of the earlier
loiters received from him.
He claims his father and mother wont to
Florida to take up la ds. but that he did not
think it worth while to po. us ho could get
nothing to do anywhere.Vith considerable
emphasis he denied that he is an nuarchist
or socialist or ever attended any meetings of
those bodies , but contends he was prevented
from securing employment because he was
not a member of the Knights of Laborer any
other laoor union. As to the letters he has
written , he claims ho was incited to write
them by otlitr people , receiving JHK ) lor
doing it.
Asked as to the character of the persons
who did this , ho disclaimed that they were
anarchists or that they formed any associa
tion. They were merely private persons.
He also denied that there were any threats
in the letters ho wrote or any reference
whatever to dynamite. "I never saw dyna
mite and would not know H if 1 saw it , " he
said.
said.When
When asked what right ho had to compose
such letters at the bidding of other people ,
lie simply inquired. "What risht have you
to write down what I urn , telling you ? It
was simply a business I went into to make a
living just as you write news for the ne\vb-
papers. "
Ho claimed thr.t all that was contained in
any of the letters was n proj osition to each
of those addressed , to forward to him the
cost of 11 an s portal ion and an offer lo come
on there and make u business proposition to
them. This was after ho found there was
no work to be had. and ho intinuttea he hid
a plan to better u flairs. As to vrhat this
plan is , ho declines lo say nnylhlng. but will
probably make u statement Inter at his trial.
\Vns Out ( if WiirK anil Iliuif \
The man came to Washington three days
ago from Baltimore. Saturday nlsrhi lie a'p *
plied at the police station for loJiiltiK and
the oftieer in charge directed him to the
municipil lodging house next door to the
station house , where he slept that night
and sawed wood next morning to pay for his
lodging.
Yesterday ho fell in with a German on a
bench in one of the public parks in the city.
The man was drunk , but spoke some worJs
of encouragement to him and told him he
was out of work , but gave him a quarter and
hoped he might lintl something to d . Ho
thought the best thing ho could do with the
quarter was to irt-t sotro postal cards
and make another efiort to secure
answers , from those to whom ho hau been
sending loiters. Ho took lodgings at 4U3
Tenth strix-t in this city nnd slept there last
night. This is the address on the postal
caru received from hiii. toda.His story is
lhal iio waited .tboul this place nil toduj ,
wailing for some one to appear in reply to
his postal card , but that no ono came. Ho
then determined , lie says , to start out to
look for Ctnct Drummond.
Ho was very much disturbed nnd aston
ished at t'.io riuruc'ter of the publications in
the newspapers rcpiirdini ; mo letters no
wrote from Baltimore last week , but wanted
to Eiie the authorities and set himself arivht.
With this in mind he btoppoU at the dutcc-
ti vo'b cilice. He knew | K2rfoctly well ha > \ ould
bearruitcd when ho made himself line wn , but
this did not -com to disturb him. The man
speaks very goou Kn.-li.sh , but with a strong
German accent. Hu is fairly well onucatod
and si.\s ; ho spent much time in reading
fccleulilic worksuuelectricity , chemistry ana
kindred topics.
In rcpiy to a question ho said ho also read
works on political economy und social science ,
Out hastened to ada tnev were notsuchas

Spcchil .Session of Coloruln'- Legislature
Culled { or , lunuir.v 1O.
DEN-TEH , Dec 25. Governor Waite tonight
issued the long-talked-about call for a
special session of thet legislature , to meet
Wednesday , January io , 1W1. The call con
sists of abo'it 5,030 words and mentions over
thirty subjects on which legislative action
should bs taken , in the governor's opinion.
The governor justifies his proclamation by
declaring that the mining interests of Iho
slale have been unjusjly and unconslilulion-
ally attacked by consress and the present
and preceding administrations ; that the
panic has so reduced values and increased
tlie burdens of taxatiqn that agriculturists ,
fruit growers and stock raisers are obliged
lo sell iheir products usiow tno cost of pro
duction , and that the extraordinary remedies
now granted to creditors in Colorado should
be repealed.
"Appealing to Almighty God for the recti
tude of my Sntuntiqn , una willing to assume
the entire responsibility of my act. " the
governor solemnly ueclares , " 1 do issue this ,
my proclamation. "
The first "business" for the legislature
suggested in the call is lo provide that all
silver dollars , domestic aurt foreign , contain
ing nol less lhan S711 grains of Hue silver
shall be legal lender lor all debts collectable
in Colorado. The governor also suecesls the
passage of an act lorbidciinr the inik- ;
ins of trust deeds , tnortgupes or
obligations of any kind payable in

HOME , Dec. 25 The Associated press cor
respondent in this cit.v has had an interview
with a German ecclesiastic who occupies u
leading position in Koine , on the subject of
the recent vote in the German Ucirhstag
upon the question of readmitting members
of the Society of Jesus to Germany. The.
distinguished prelate referred to believes
that the German federal council , which is a
sort of senate , will not ratify the vole of the
Keichstag , saying :
"An aristocratic ana conservative spirit
prevails in the fonneraRsembly and it should
not be forgotten that in Prussia a large portion
tion of the nobility and the patriotic class is
Lutheran. .Tno emperor himself is an
ardent and well-nigh militant pietist , and
would not see with a favorable eye the re
turn of the Jesuits , implying , as It would , n
triumph of Catholic aspirations.
"Nevertheless , the vote ol Iho Koichstag
constitutes a coed precedent. In the event
of the motion being rejected by the federal
council it will be brought forward again
later on , and indeed as many times us neces
sary.1
"Docs thn deputies' action deserve the
blame bestowed upon It by those two papers
which are generally held to represcn' . the
views of the Vatican , and does Hcrr
Liebor's statement offend dogma ? ' '
"Xot in the least , " replied the ccclcsius-
tic. " 1 see nothing reprehensible in Herr
Weber's statement. The reproach Is con-
stonily leveled against German Catholics
that they can nol t > e good patriots because
of the obedience they owe to the uopc , who
is a foreigner. Now , Herr Lieber desired to
refute this charge by making an explicit
statement , and his declaration in my opinion
is in no way incompatible with dogma. "

LONKON , Dec. 2.Y A Vienna dispatch to
the limes says Merva , who was yesterday
murdered at Prague , was known under the
assumed name of liigilctto of ToscaH.
Dr. Hen-old , the leader of the young czechs ,
referred to him openly in the recent debates
as an agent of the provocator and as the
ringleader of a socialist society of young
men whom he induced to deface the imperial
eagles in public places.
Dr. Ilerrold asserted that the man had
been mixed up in other work of a like con
temptible character. Dr. Herrolu said he
had in his possession one of Mervn's note
books containing a poem nttacking the gov
ernor of Bohemia and mentioning dynamite
in every line. The note book also contained
a plan for blowluu up the palace of Count
Franz Th.n , wniuli was to bo dynamited.
Merva had been frequently arrested and re
leased.
Ninety of the men belonging to the so-
: ialist society , which was called Omlinda ,
bave been arrested and will be tried for
high treason. Dr. Herrold will defend a
number of the prisoners at the coming trial.
Merva pcgan his career in the army of tbe
revolution as a drummer boy. While still at
school he attended the secret meetings of a
society known as the Subterranean L/eaguo
whose tendencies were pan-Slavist.
As it was composed of mere boys , the au
thorities did not find it necessary to inter
fere with the society. Merva had been ad
vised to leave "ratruo and had expressed his
intention to do so , but ho postponed his de
parture and the result was , he was mur
dered. U seems that of late ho hau received
i number of threatening letters and hud been
in perpetual fear of losing his life.

PciiNAMiimi , Dec. 'Jo. The situation of af
fairs hns very materially changed in this
city within the last few hours. Until this
morning Pcrnambuco believed that its har
bor was to bo the scene of the lirst big naval
hatile between the Hepublica , Admiral
Mollo's best warship , and the Acjuidaban ,
her companion rebel ship , on the one siilo
and the Nictheroy , President Pel.xoto's
dynamite gun cruiser , on the other. This
belief was amply Justlliod by the repnri re
ceived a few days ago on apparent li good
authoritv thai Hie iiopublica and AquKinbau
had been seen off Ihe Uiazillan coast headed ,
northward , apparently bound for Pornam-
buco , as if to taio'iho Nictheroy by sur
prise and compel her to fight without : v
chniice of pulling lo so.i. The news re
ceived hero ihis morning ehange.l Ihe whole
aspect of affairs.
Alter MM lolaiul.
The rebel warships , it was then learned ,
were not on their way to Pcrnambuco , but
on the contrary had sailed toward the
mountainous and rugged island of Ferdl-
nando do Xorouha , where thcro is a largo
convict settlement. The island , despite its
ruggcdncss , possesses considerable fertility ,
and its several harbors , defended by forts ,
would enable Mello to make a vigorous re
sistance , if attacked.
The revoluiionary admiral's object , in
going to Ferdimndo do Noronha , which is
over 1K ( ) miles from the main coast of Hrazilr
is to compel so mutiv ablehodiud convicts as
ho can ( ind in the settlement to go aboard
his vessels and Join His crows. It is said ha
expects to secure not less than 1,003 men in.
this way.
Upon the reception of this news aboard ,
the Nicihcroy there was great activity no
ticeable. Members of the crew were sent
nshoro in small boats to search through the
town for sucn of the Nictheroy's men as had
been allowed to leave the ship and to hurry
them back to the ship.
Nlcthvro.r INits to Sra.
The commanding ofticor of the Xn-theray
had apparently rccslvcd full instructions as
to how he should act in such an emergency ,
and these instructions , it is believed , were
to the effect that , if convinced the report of
the coming to Pcrnambuco of the Ko'iublKtv
and tbo Aquidaban proved untrue , anil that
these vessels. Instead of seeking , were evad
ing fight , ho should lose no further time ,
but put to sea at once and force them into u
naval contest for superiority. Tills view of
the case proved correct , for this afternoon
when all the Nictheroy's men had gotten on
board , Ihe government battleship weighed
anchor , steamed out to sea and pointed her
nose for the northo'tst.
The Associated press correspondent is re
liably informed the Nicthcroy's dtstinallon
Is ihe island of Purdinando do Norouha. If
ihls information is correct , the long ex
pected sea battle between the revolutionist
and the government war vessels will , in all
probability , be fought within a short timo.
