Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 13. John P. Harmens, a tramp, 50 years old, who by his own confession recovered over $aoyoco that was hidden by train rocbers a year ago, is locked up In the jail in this city. For months he has been living In San Francisco on the fat of the land from the proceeds of the money taken from the Overland Express near Sacramento by Jack Brady and Browning over a year ago. The prisoner has turned over to the police $2,000 which he had in the German Saving bank in San Francisco, $5,900 in securities, a diamond ring and a diamond collar button. Harmens found the money hidden under a clump of bushes near Sacra-menlwhere the robbers who held up the train had burled it. It is known that the robbers obtained 'over $5000 from Wells, Fargo & Co., but Harmens did not find all of the plunder. He says he only obtained $20000, but it is believed that these figures are under the exact amount. This conclusion is based on the fact ihat when Bred;-- , one of the bandits, confessed and took the officers to the place where the money was burled only $6000 was found. Harmens had evidently taken the rest of the treasury before the officers arrived. Harmens was arested in San Francisco Saturday and brought to this city last night. In appearance he is a typical tramp. Among his friends he is known as Dutch Charley." D After he found the money he went to San Francisco, where he loaned a great deal to responsible business men. But he was not miserly, as it is; saidthatj he lived a life of luxury seldom c dreamed Joi by the most average trampjj He bought the a for himself, making clothes elegant for the purpose; a trip to NewJYork a regular into transformed tramp was " fashion plate. .. eastern.

The resolution is similar to that presented by The resolution is Congressman Allen. now pending at both ends of the Capitol. Senator Cannon introduced today in the senate a bill providing for the time and place for holding terms of United States court in the state of Utah. The bill provides for the division of the district into the northern and southern division for the district courts.

It provides that the terms of the district court shall be held at Salt Lake beginning on the first Monday in may and the first Monday in December in each year, and In the city of Ogden beginning on the first Monday in March and the first Monday of September. The bill was lntroducee by Senator Cannon, although both of the Utah senators are favorable to its passage. The University of Utah, through its president, has asked for an extension of time upon which to locate upon the forty acres of land granted by the government adjoining the Fort Dougina reservation. The time allowed to the University in which to perfect its title was five years, but the university state that it has been impossible for them to comply with the terms so far, and have accordingly asked for an extension of five to ten years, which will give about seven or eight years yet to claim the land.

The Union Pacific reorganisation committee seems to be opposed to Huntingtons funding scheme and is anxious for the roads to be sold a a foreclosure sale. Judge Maguire says the Vanderbilts, Goulds and Chicago k Northwestern people are anxious to buy Union lyd Central Pacific roads, as these, with the New York Central would give them a through line from New York to San Francisco. Senators Thurston of Nebraska, Wolcott of Colorado, and others in Congress friendly with Union Pacific interests seem opposed to the refunding scheme, and in favor of foreclosure scheme. If the roads are sold at foreclosure sale the Vanderbilts and Chicago & Northwestern will be the probable purchasers, as they have long sought a line to the coast. A Tale. Los Angeles, CaU Feb. 11. Colonel John Bradbury, who is at present in Mexico, has written to some friends in this city outlining his plans for exploring Tiburon island, situated in the Gulf of California. The advices state that he has purchased the schooner Lillie Light and has armed her with a Mexican gun and a five-inc- h rifle. From hirmineln Mexico he has recruited 125 men, who are experienced fighters and accustomed to Indian warfare. The letter further stated the real object of the expedition. leIt seems that a gend has it that when Montezuma, emperor of Mexico, saw that his dynasty was doomed, he determined to prevent Cortes from securing the the treasures of the Incas, so he sent all of his gold to Tiburon, and had it buried there in a mountain cave. When the men who had charge of this task returned he had them all offered up as sacrifices, and the secret was lost until by a curious series of events it was disclosed to Colonel Brsdbury. London, 'Feb. 11. The Duke of Devonshire, Lord President of the Council, in unveiling today the statue erected in the central hall of Parliament to the memory of the late John Bright, said there never was a time when the presence and influence of Mr. Bright was more sorely missed than at present. He referred to Mr. Brights great respect and admiration for the institutions of the United States and to the sympathy he felt for the American people. In so doing the speaker maintained that Mr. Bright was as much honored and respected by the people on the other side of the Atlantic as in our own country." In conclusion, the Duke of Devonshire lamented that at the present time there was no influence so potent for the preservation of the friendship between Itrllalen and Baue.

According to the officials of he Madrid observatory the explosion occurred about twenty miles from the earth. The sun was shining dearly at the time of the explosion and the only ob. ject visible in the sky was a white cloud bordered with red, which wrs traveling rapidly across the heavens, leaving behind a cloud of fine, white dust. When the explosion occurred the populace thought it was an earthquake or a sign of divine wrath. Many Injuries resulted from the panic that broke out among the people and from Ik frantic attempts to escape from the factories and schools. Seventeen persons were injured In one tobacco factory by the collapse of a stair case when the victims rushed upon it to escape from the building. At the palace It was first feared a bomb had exploded. Much damage resxlted from the force of the roncusslon. Tha Accident te i'reueondo. San Francisco, Feb. x 1. It is not likely that Crescendo, the great of Naglee-BurkePueblo stable, will ever face the starter again. On Sunday, at the Bay district track he was so seriously injured that ever since he has not been able to stand up. While being walked around on the extreme outside of the track a that was being galloped came swerving along and bumped into him, knocking him to the ground and fractuaing his collar bone. Crescendo is now in the hands of a etrlnary surgeon and he is doing every thing that Is possible, and there Is a slight chance that he may be brought around so as to race in about six months. Even if he does recover, it is doubtful whether he will ever be the Crescendo of old.

Washington, Feb ia Owing to a misunderstanding of address on a large box left at the Baltimore & Ohio depot to be forwarded by express, the existence of a trade in corpses for dissecting purposes was unearthed. The box bore two addresses and the employes oi the express Company were unable to decide as to which address it should b sent to. After the box had been at the express office ail day the employes forced Its cover and one of them thrust in his hand, hoping the contents would indicate whether the box should go to Baltimore or Detroit, which were the two addresses. The employe caught hold of a human body. The box was then opened and found to contain the bodies of two women. At first it appeared that murder had been committed and that the bodies of the victims were being shipped out of town. The bodies were nude and one of them was that of an old colored woman. The other one seemed to be the corpse of a young white woman. After working all day the detectives came to the conclusion thnt the bodies were shipped hy grave-robberIt was learned that a regular system for shipping bodies stolen front the cemeteries round Washington exists. The work has been carried on with astonishing boldness, and dozen of bodies have been sent out of town recently. Large boxes sent by the same set of men have been forwarded to New Haven, Hartford, Baltimore and other cities. Some were so heavy as to lead to the belief that they contained three or four bodies. al Vice-Cons- spe- 1 Uhl In Kmbaasadsr. Washington, Feb, 10. The nomination of Hen. E. F.

The weapon used was a jigged, triangular piece of glass broken from his cell window with a fire hovel. Wi'h this rude Instrument he made a gash, three inches In length, in the right side of his neck. At one place the wound exceeds Its length in depth. After being temporarily cared for in the jail and a couple of stitches taken to hold together the gaping side of the wound, Burton was taken to St. Mark's hospital where his wounds were dressed. It was nearly 12 o'clock when a woman in jail heard Burton calling for help. Going to the door she asked what was the matter. He replied that he had cut his throat and that if help wasn't got soon he would be dead. City Physician Dalby was summoned by telephone. Meanwhile Burton was taken down the stairs from the womans department where he was confined, to the hallway below, and there laid on the bare floor, the best accommodations afforded by the jail for any emergency case. Dr. Dalby made a hurried examina-io- n of the wound and decided to send the inji.red man to the hospital, after first affording such temporary relief as was possible. Burton has been drinking heavily for six days past. Last evening some of his relatives had him locked up to keep him from getting liquor. He had only been In the juil three or four hours when he made the attempt on his own life.
