lHr CUSTOM HOUSE ROBBERY AT PTTsBuRo The
Pttsbug Despatch gives the particulars OF the assault
hurg, who was assaulted al night the steps OF his
dwelling robbed OF three hundred dollars and the
KEYS OF the custom house, and left insensble
condition.
When partially recovered from The supor into which
his severe injuries threw bun, Mr. Hastings despatched
messenger TO the city, with directions inform Thomas
J. Keenan,, esq and DR.. McCook that he wished to see
them Immediately The gentlemen prompt in their
attendance on Mr.. Hastings, and not long learn
ing full particulars OF the affair This about nine
o'clock MIR Keenan,, fearing the robbers might make
o the stolen keys gain the custom-house
lost no time in repairing thilher. He found the watch.
man (Joseph Cupples) al his post and asked him IL any
person had been there the collector Cuppes
swered ~ the negative. Mr. Keenan, then informed him
hat The keys OF the office and vault had been taken from
MI Hastings and gave him orders keep strict look
out Tor vIsers during the night Al this time the vault
was apparently untouched.
Matters remained so TIL morning, when Mr.. Taylor,
lhe coiectors chief clerk, proceeded the vault and
found the door securely locked. Using key with which
ne was provided he entered and found the floor srewed
vault daring the night, and Carried off bag containing
gold to the amount OF $4,000, The amount OF
ney lying scattered on the floor consisted OF 81 24o
10 double eagles. $40 in eagles and S95 in halfeage
pieces
Apart from the attack on Mr. Hastings, the affair
seems developed in mystery, The waicbman declares
that entered the building from The time Mr. Hast
ings left until he called on by Mr. Herman; and after
this, with those having charge oil the building on the
alert, and the house lighted with gas it is not probable
that any scoundre no matter how bold, would have the
recklessnes 10 attempt, much less execute the robbery
The only feasible in which The robbery be
accounted for is this The robbers, after obtaining pos
session OF the keys lost time in reaching the custom
house and, finding Cupples asleep absent pepetated
The robbery unnoticej
