STOLEN MONEY RETuRNED.-The $4,000
stolen recently from the banking house of Bel
mont & Co., New York, was returned on the
18th in an envelope through the Post-ofiee.
The Chief of Police had been engaged since the
robbery was effected in endeavoring to ascer-
tain who was the guilty party, and after an in
vestigation was led to believe that the Cashier
of the firm was the offender He was accor-
dinghy arrested, and when taken before the
Chief frankly confessed his guilt, stating in ex-
tenuation that he had been led into specula-
ting in stocks. had used the money of the firm
for that purpose, had lost a large amount by
his operations, and that his cash account was
deficient. He took $l4 900 not to keep, but tic
supply the deficiency in his cash, thinking
thereby that his unfortunate and dishonest OPP
perations with his employees funds wound be
concealed He is about 80 years of age, of a
gentlemanly appearance, and has a wife resi-
ding in New Jersey The Chief of Police or
dered his detention until further examination
should take place.
