Mail RObber Caught.

The villain who attempted to rob
the mail and express packages of the
New York and Erie Railroad, IAN &C.
count of whom we gave last week,
has been caught. 1t appears that, af-
ter leaping from the car, he went to
the nearest station, (Otisville, and
took the return train for New York.
Every ticket master having already
been notified by telegraph to be on
the lookout for him, he was at once
suspected, and was watched by the
conductor until the arrival Of the
train at Jersey City. He was there
given in charge Of the Chef of Po'
lice of that place. The next morning,
Thomas Clarke, Esq, the special
agent of the New York Post Office,
and Deputy United States Marshal,
went over to Jersey City and brought
the prisoner to New York. He is
quite an intelligent young man, rather
tall he gave his name as Edwin
jackson, and says he resides in New
York. He was taken before a United
States Commissioner and held to bal
in the sum of $4,000, to wait an ex
animation on Monday. The prisoners
wife subsequently appeared, attended
~~..nsos, -.--A---~"S '-'- 'o"'on VI
bail. Mail Agent Adam keck was
telcgraphed to at Cincinnati, and ar
| rived next day in New York. He at
once identified jackson, who is an oil
merchant, as the man who attempted
to rob him. We have not learned the
result Of the examination. Besides
the valuable packages in the mails at
the time of the attempted robbery,
the Express had $780, 900 of money in
the same car; SO that the fellow,
jackson, just missed very comforta-
BILE haul.
