LARS REwARD.-We stated yesterday that Living
ssoa s Weiss express had been robbed the evening
made up at the Office BY Mr. Hastings the agent, and
ing Between and half past all the baggage and the
money trunk taken to the depot by these gentle
men, The baggage was placed in the car and lock-
ed up.
Mr. Powell placed his money trunk in the passenger
car on the seat he intended to occupy locked the door
and stood conversing for some minutes with Mr. Hast
ings, by the window where he had q full view of the
trunk. He then stepped into the ticket office, pay
freight bill, where he remained two minutes
and when he returned the trunk gone. All the
doors Of the building were Immediately closed and
thorough search made, Information was Immediately
given to the police and every avenue OF the city
watched until morning. to discover If the robber left
town.
Fortunately the amount of money from this city was
not large-not exceeding $4,000. The Commercial Bank
lost two packages-one containing $3.50, in bills and
remainder belonged to private individuals 1t is feared
that the trunk &C ntained large amount Of funds from
Buffalo. reward of $500 was offered by the agent
here for the recovery Of the trunk.
The dispatch with which this robbery was committed
may be learned from the fact that Mr. Hastings left the
ct office, and had only reached the Mansion House
when messenger overlook him, informing him OF the
theft.
The locks on the passenger cars of very simple
construction and the thief probably found difficulty
in opening the door with false key The North side
the depot usually dark and quite favorable the
cape Of rogue without being observed.
s. The advices from Buffalo, received yesterday af
ternoon render probable that the amount of money
lost is about $4,000 The only information received
concerning the robbery the statement of passenger
who upon entering the car saw coming out with

the Eastern end of the depot
