Detail oT tlio Coiiiplrncy-Thc Tool I'lnnlly Cliuion to Kxecuto It. A Wo do Janeiro letter to the Sun ElveB some singular (Mulls concerning tlie recent niutder of the Biazulliui minister of war, Marshal lilttencourt, and the uttemnted assassination of President Moreas. They are taken from nn cillclal leport on the subject, and In the opinion m' the olllclnl who made the Investigation responsibility for the crime rests not only on the murderer, but also on nineteen accomplices, among whom are the vlce-piesldent of the republic and sK members of con Ki es. The crime was political; no some ex planation of the polltlcnl conditions In Brazil Is necessary- President Pru dente do Moieas, when he took olllco on Nov, IS, 1S01, wn.s regarded with piofound dlstiust by the personal ad herents of Marshal Florlano Pelxoto. Still greater distrust, however, and positive dislike bordering on hatred were felt by the Florlnnlstas toward Vice President Mnnoel Vlctorlno, Though unwilling to adopt Flprlano's methods, the president sought to con ciliate the Florlanlstas, whose Influence with the army made thern formidable adversaries, and In doing this he was obliged to shape his policy so as to Involve himself In difficulties and len der his ndmtnlstiatlon utterly barren. Ills nttempts nt conciliation were only partly successful. In the difficult and dangerous situation in which he found blinself his health finally gave way, and In November, 1S0G, he was obliged temporarily to quit office. Had his en emies lieen lcsolute and united they would doubtless have availed them selves of this occasion to get lid both of him and the vice-president. The latter, however, was permitted to take the president's place, and he eems at this period to have found means of arriving nt an agreement with the Florlanlstas, In accord with whom he has ever since acted. Ho and they were apparently very much discon certed when In the beginning of last llnich the president, who had recov ered his health, suddenly returned here and resumed office. THE WAK IN HAHIA. It was during the president's Illness that the disastrous war against the fanatics in Iialila was begun. On the very day on which lie resumed offiee the denth and defeat of Moreira Cesar occurred. Four days nfterward, that Is, on March 7, three printing offices and Colonel GentU de Castro's resi dence were wrecked by a Jacobin mob, and on March S GentU was murdered, a crime that stirred the government profoundly, owing to his prominence in political affairs and the revelation it nfforded of the methods of those try ing 10 overtnrow the administration. Thcso events had the effect of leading the president to decide upon a definite rupture with the Florlanlstas. who were most closely connected with the Jncoblns. Among the politicians who then abandoned him was Francisco Glycerio, the congressional leader of the party. This man, who is a nearly white mulatto, has the reputation of being one of the most cunning politi cal ttlcksters In Brazil. He Is said to have outwitted even the crafty Mar shal Florlano Pelxoto and to have con tributed powerfully toward preventing the latter from marking himself per manent dictator. He worked strenu ously for the election of President Pru dente de Moraes, whom he doubtless hoped to control. He la one ir the con gressmen whom the police official In his report considers responsible for the murder of the minister of war and the attempt on the life of the president. CONSPIRACIES. With the return to power of the pres ident began a series of conspiracies to overthrow the government, which are described nt length in the report. Prom inent In them was Deocleclano Martyr, editor of a small Incendiary sheet call ed th'o Jacoblno. He first mnde himself notorious In 1S90, when ho was arrest ed for posting In streets of this city documents which the ptovlslonal gov ernment considered seditious. It was alleged in his defence that he had been actuated by excessive republican zeal and after being held in custody for a few davs he was set at liberty. About two years afterward ho ngaln attracted public attention by an attempt to change the name of a square in this city, to which' he wished to give the name of Marshal Florlano Pelxoto. The method which he adopted consisted In merely if moving the plates containing the name of the square and replacing them with others bearing Florlano's name. During the reign of terror un der the Government of that Marshal In 1S93 and 1S91, he made himself con fplcuous by publishing lists of sus pected persons. He nfterward estab lished the Jiifobino, a Journal noted for the violence of its language and for Its attacks on foreigners, especially the Portuguese. Another of the alleged conspirators was Captain Marcos Cnr Iuf, who is common! v believed to lm, taken an active part in the murder ot prisoneis under the government of Maishal Florlano Pelxoto. The con spirators decided that the republic was in danger and that' to save c It was necessary to murder President iru. dente de Moraes, Hear Admiral Custo. dlo de Mello, leader of the revolution ary movement of Nov. 23, 1891, and of that of Sept, P. TS93, Councillor Sllvelra Martins and others. Tho principal ob stacle stems to have been the difficulty In finding a favorable opportunity for assassinating their Intended victims without risk to themselves. Mnnv su. gestlons were mode for carrying out their purpose. It was proposed, for In stance, that a house should bo rented npar tho president's palace or on one of the streets on which ho had to paiis and that Marcos Curlus, who Is said to be a good shot, should tako his stand at a window and kill tho president vhei the latter came within iiinge. There, appears to have been nn agree rnent among the consplratois that each and everv ono of them should uvall tilmsel. of any favorable opportunity for murdering the persons designated. VJCE PRESIDENT IN IT. While prominent politicians do not seem to have attended the meetings of the conspirators, many of them, ac cording to the evidence rurnished by the police authorities, were aware of the plots and actually gave the con solrators encouragement and Indirect support. And the leader of the Flor lnnlstas, Congressman Francisco Gly cerio, has admitted that he at least was really nware of tho plots and as sorts that he took steps for warning tho president of the republic. In what pur ports to bo Deocleclano Martyr's tes timony It Is stated that Glycerio on one occasion asked Deocleclano to sus pend operntlons, since It was expected that tho murder would be rendered unneccessnry by a military Insurrec tion In Unhln, which would overthrow Hi st the president of the state and af terward President Prudente de Moraes. Vice-President Mnnoel Vlctoilno has not admitted that he waB aware of tho plot. Tho evidence against him. rests principally upon tho alleged testimony of Deocleclnno Martyr, which Is thought to be corroborated by a letter In ylilcli the vice-president Is repre sented to have said that ho could not be a candidate for the presidency of tho republic, sinco he would thereby be disqualified from taking charge of the government In "any critical emer gency that may occur during the pres ent presidential term." He lias not been arrested, but Is reported to be closely watched, and It Is asserted that he never leaves his house. A FEROCIOUS SENATOR. Still another prominent politician ac cused of being Implicated In the plots Is Senator Joas Coidelro, who Is re ported to have said, on being inform ed of OKP conspiracy, that he heartily approved of It as a rapid and practical solution of the situation. The remark attributed to him Is In kecplnr with his antecedents. In the beginning of Ills public career he made himself Viiown by the violent unscrupulous, and lawless methods which he em ployed In making war on slavery and slave holders. On being Informed that the 'Emiicror Dom l'edro II., who de sired emancipation, deprecated all Il legal action, he complained that the emperor's scrupjes irritated his nerves. He was nt that time a poor man, but Is now ilch, having made a fortune by means of a contract with the govern ment for fumlsh'lng supplies to the famishing population of the state of Ceaia, of which he Is a native and which he now represents in the senate. A zealous partisan of Marshal Florlano Pelxoto, lie was, at least morally, responsible- for the hideous crimes com mitted during the latter's administra tion. In February, 1894, he suggested through the press that agencies of for eign banks, political prisoners, and ene mies of the republic In general should be exterminated with dynamite. In ciulous contrast with tho ferocious na tuie of this man, his name, Cordelio, is the Portuguese for la ml). Cordelro was'arresled a few days after tho mur der of the ministry of war. Arother piisoner accused of bsing Implicated tn the muder is Captain Barbora Lima, ex-r?overnor of Pernambuco and con gressnnn from that state. Of the twenty persons whom the po lice official in chargo of the Investiga tion holds responsible for tho minister's murder there Is perhaps not one on whoso reputation theie is not some saln. And yet many of them may be guiltless of tho crime with which they are charged. Th'o evidence against them is not of a nature to Inspire con fidence, and it Is only after testimony has been heard In open court that one can safely venture to form nn nntninn In regard to the culpability of any of the accused except tho soldier who was taken in the act. FOILED. The difficulty leferred to of assassin ating without risk to themselves kept the conspirators from overt acts. They made several attempts to incite mili tary insurrections, but these failed. Their inactivity in regard to their orig inal programme might perhaps have continued If Deocleclano had not met Marcelllno BIspo de Mello, a soldier of the Tenth Battalion of Infantry. The soldier, having read and admired Deo clcciano's violent articles In the Jaco blno, was seized with an earnest desire to make the acquaintance of their author, and did so. The editor of the Jacoblno seems to have comprehended that ho had at last found the man he needed. He took charge of the soldier nnd began to prepare him for his work, mnklng him swear fidelity by the mem ory of Marshal Florlano Pelxoto. When Marcelllno was supposed to bo suffic iently trained he was instigated to per form his task. To facilitate the work every precaution was taken, even that of surrounding the president with guards In the confidence of the con spirators. But in spite of all favor able circumstances, every attempt proved fruitless. FINAL PREPARATIONS. On Nov. G last at 7 o'clock In tho morning Deocleclano. Marcelllno, and a third man met at the office of thp Ja coblno. On that day Gtneral Barbora and two battalions of Infantry (one of which had been commanded liy Mor eira Cesar, the sinister idol of the Ja cobins) were to arrive from Bahia, whera the Insurrection had finally been suppressed, nnd elaborate preparations had been made for their reception. They were to be met and welcomed by tho president of the republic, by the vice president, by the minister of war, by a congressional committee, nnd by many other citizens of high official rank. Afterward they were to march in triumph through the city amid the acclamations of tho Florianistas, who had made arrangements for distribut ing a thousand medals with Florlano's portrait. What else might happen no one could foresee. Deocleclano had decided that one of the events of the day should be the accomplishment of the object for which he had so lung labored. His friend nnd disciple, Marcelllno, was to avail him self of tho opportunity which the day would offer for attempting the grand stroke that was to save the armv and place him securely on the path that was to lead to the Marshal's baton awaiting the grasp of a second Florl ano. Ho nnd lis tool had according- met at the office of the Jacoblno to ar- autre the final details of the day's work. Tho person with them was of minor but still esssntial Importance. He was to take charge of the box con taining the weapons nnd hand them at the proper time to tho future marshal. 1 lieso weapons were a double-barrelled pistol, bought, It Is stated, with money furnished by a congressman, and a knife, which Deocleclano, It is said. in. dured Marcelllno to believe to be pois oned. In handling the weapons that morn ing Marcelllno accidentally discharged tho pistol, and- this Incident Is said to have produced a depressing effect on the conspirators, who, however, were not therebv induced to desist from their purpose. Everything was at last arranged, and Deocleclano went to await tho result at tho headquarters of the First regiment of cavalry, whose commander la stated to have been In his confidence. MISSED FIRE. The steamer Esplrlto Santo, with General Barbora and tho two battal ions on board, came Into port. Vice President Manoel vlctorlno, Congress- DR. MOTS OPffiOK OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MED ICINE. A Itomnrknbly SnccoitTuI llomodr for Drspepsln, Iiullgcitlon nnd 8tom- ncli Trouble. , Dr. Wurth, In commenting on recent discoveries in medicine, said: There Is none which Is certain .to bo so valu ablo and far-reaching In benefit as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the now stomach remedy; I say far-reaching, because people little realize how Im portant a sound stomach and vigor ous digestion Is to every man, woman and child. Indigestion Is tho starting point of consumption, heart disease, Brlght's disease, diabetes, nervous prostration, liver troubles; why Is this so? Simply because every nerve, muscles an1 tis sue In our bodies Is created and nour ished from the food we eat. If that food Is, by reason of a weak stomach, compelled to lie for hours, a sour, fer menting mass of half digested food, it poisons the blood and nervous system, creates gas which distends tho stomach nnd bowels, causing pressure on tho heart, lungs nnd other organs and seri ously Impeding their action. He says further, the point to direct attention Is not the nerves, nor heart, nor lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach, the first cause of all the mischief. Tho remedy to use for Indigestion and weak stomachs Is not some ca thartic, but a remedy which will digest the food, Increase the flow of gastric Juice, absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will accomplish ex actly this result In any case of stomach trouble, because these tablets are com posed of the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal nnd Bismuth, pleas ant to taste, and not being a patent medicine, can be used by anyone with perfect safety. I believe Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets will cure any form of Indigestion and stomach trouble ex cept cancer of stomach. Full size packages of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at CO cents. (A book on stomach dis eases, together with thousands of tes timonials, will be sent by addressing Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. man Barbora Lima, and Joaquin Au gusto Frelre took a steam launch and went together on board. On their ar rival they learned that as soon ns the steamer anchored Generals Argollo and Costallat had gone on board and had a secret conference with General Barbora. They remained on board for some time and saw the president of the republic pass when he was leav ing the steamer. "Go," said Ficlre, In a voice loud enough to bo heard by a bystander, "but you will never again enter your carriage." When the president, after landing on his return from the steamer, was pass ing with his suite through the arsenal, there were a few shouts of "Long live the memory of Marshal Florlano Pelx oto!" which were answered with shouts of "Long live tho president of the re public!" Marcelllno, when the presi dent passed him, removed his cap, and then, following the president, pointed nt him his pistol, which missed fire. He was overpowered and arrested, bilt before his arrest was effected he had killed with the knife the minister of war, severely wounded the president's chief of staff, and slightly wounded several other persons. Marcos Curlus Is said to have assisted in disarming and arresting him. Deocleclano, who had been seen with Marcelllno on several occasions, was arrested at the headquarters of the First regiment of cavalry and other arrests speedily followed. The presi dent issued an address to the nation and congress voted a bill for proclaim ing martial law, which since the ad journment of congress has been main tained and prolonged by the president and Is still In force. IjEI'T on tkains. All Sorts of Articles Aro Forgotlon by Absent-Mindrd Passengers. I"iom tlio Chicago Tribune. Recently a Chicago railroad dis played In Its unclaimed parcel room live barrels of rubber overshoes and a box of false teeth. All this property and more during a period of six months had been left on the suburban and through trains by absent-minded pas sengers. The general baggage agent, upon being asked what was the oddest occurrence of this kind, said that a woman once left on a train a alx-months-old baby, and she did not miss It until a trainman overtook her with the little bundle of humanity before she got outside of the train shed. It was not a case of abandonment. She had forgotten to take up her own off spring. Only one-half of tho articles left on trains are claimed and returned to owners. At all the railroad oHlces In Chicago there are to be found motley collections of about all the articles which man or woman ever owned. It would be Impossible to list them in a whole page of a newspaper. The article which fleures most ex tensively among the lost and found of the big railroads Is the umbrella. An official of the Illinois Central says he received in the baggage department 1.500 umbrellas a year. General Agent Sadd. of the Burlington, says his rec ords show about 600 a year, nnd the other lines report largo collections of this serviceable article, which Is left on trains in all kinds of weather. On a recent line, sunshiny day tho Burling ton railroad showed on Its record a whole page of abandoned umbrellas. Next como the overshoes, which aro dally found, singly and In pairs, and oftentimes odd In size and kind. At all tho offices they are accumulated to the extent of barrels and barrels.

From the Washington Star. In one of the partnient3 of tho Hotel Raleigh, nnw occupied by Mr. Philip W. Avlrett, Is a remarnable relic, which has a history of great Interest. It Is nothing more or less than the Iron strong box of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, first lord proprietary of Virginia. The box or chest Is made of heavy wrought Iron, Into which has been welded Iron ttraps crossing each other at right an cles. The Flight ornamentation on the front of the box shows It to be of Italian workmanship. The box Is in a state of remarkable preservation. The keyhole Is In tlio centre of the massive lid, and a large, heavy key, black with age, turns easily In It. A wonderful thing about the Jock Is that tho key in turn ing sends' sliding bolts out from all sides of th'e lid to cling beneath heavy extensions of the four sides of the box Itself, upon precisely the same principle as, that upon which the modern bank vault lock in universal use today is managed. The history of the rells Is romantic. The strong box was burled by Lord Fairfax at his home, Greenwny court, near Winchester, Va.t when he died. The reason tli'at Falrfav burled It was that ho had filled It with money collect, ed by hlin In the shape of revenues for the Crown, but he died before he had an opportunity to take It up and en Joy the treasure. Tho only person who knew about tho burial of the box was 13r. Thomas Woodcock, of Winchester. After the death of Lord Fairfax, Dr. Woodcock dug It up and took It to Phil adelphia, where he gave It to the agents of tho 'J3ank of England, who ont It to England, still filled with money and muniments of title. When tho contents had been removr-d the box was given to the Fairfax helM in England. The Fairfax heirs sent it back to Dr. Woodcock filled with silver plate, and the strong box eventually passed from Dr. Woodcock to Mrs. Hannah Dunbar of Winchester. At Mrs. Dunbar's death sho willed the box to her daugh ter, Mrs. Philip Williams, of Virginia, duilng her lifetime, and provided that It should then descend to Mrs. W1I llams'B heirs, amoni whom was Mrs. Avlrct, wife of the Itev. .Tas. 13, Avlret, formerly of Silver Springs and now of Ncrth Carollnu. During tho latn war the chest was again burled by those who had It In possession at Winchester, and a largo quantity of valuable silver plate was placed In It In order to protect It from possible seizure by the soldiers, Sev eral years ago tho box was dug up JONAS LONG'S SONS.

The 1-elis of Mrs. Philip Williams gave the strong box to Mr. Philip Wil liams Avlrett, who now has it in his possession. Among the treasures Milch were con tained In the strong box at the time It was burled during the late wnr was a miniature portrait of tho late Philip Williams, painted on Ivory by Rem brandt Peal.

Something About This Winter Visi tor to tho United States. This beautiful owl makes Its nest In the far north, and In winter visits the United States. Arctic explorers have found It as far north as they have ever reached. They tell us that It nests on tho ground or on a mossy rock, for,' while most owls nest in trees, there are no trees in these far northern re gionseven the shrubs are stunted. They do not constiuct a nest or, at mo&t, only gather together a few leaves and feathers. The eggs are eight to ten In number, about two and a half Inches In length, and nearly two Inches in the smaller diameter, and, like nil owls' eggn, they are of a dirty white. The young birds are at first downy and brownish-gray In color. It Is not till after .they have left the nest that they aro white, marked with brown, like the old birds. The snowy owl hunts its prey by day. itabhltd or hares, grouso and ptarmigan are pounced upon and eaten, and also small quadrupeds like mice and lem mings, which abound In the Arctic re gions. It also catches fish, watching silently by the streams .till a fish comes near tho surface, when tho owl beizes It In Its strong clawB. The snowy owl Is about two feet In length from bill to tip of tall, and Its wings when extended meaRuro nearly five feet from tip to tin. Most speci mens aro white, marked with' brown; but rarely Is one sen pure white. The plumago Is extremely thick and warinr even tho feet aro clad in feathers to the tips of the claws. Most writers that have been to the Arctic regions say nothing about the voice of this owl, so we might Infer that they had never heard It hoot as other owls do; but an explorer of the last century describes its cry as very unpleasant.
