BG-A HEAVY HUNDRED
AND FIFTY Do1LARs SToLEN.--A heavy
robbery was committed at the Mcclure
House on Saturday afternoon last, under
the following circumstances: Major Dod-
bridge, U. s. Paymaster, who is stopping
ct the McLurs House, went out of his
room upon some business intending to be
absent only few moments, leaving his
key in the safe. His movements must have
been watched, for during his brief absence
some person or persons entered the room
and unlocking the safe took out nine hun
drei dollars in ''greenbacks." Major Dod-
bridge did not discover. the loss until to-
wards evening, when the police were placed
in possession of the facts. There was a
sum of money exceeding four hundred
dollars, in postal currency, in the bottom
of the safe which the. thieves did not dis
cover. One of the chamber-maids saw a
strange man sneaking about the room
during the afternoon.
Nothing was discovered about the rob-
berry uutil Monday afternoon, when one of
the bell boys, employed in the house, found
package of money-som forty dollars
concealed in the gentlemens' water closet.
Around this package of money there was
a pass, reading about as follows: "Pass
Sergeant ---- and privates Farley, and
Omens and Golden throughout the city.
They will not be interrupted by the Provost
Guard" This pass was signed by Capt.
W. G. Thorpe, Military Commander. Sup
posing that this package of money was a
portion of that lost by Major Doddridge,
officer Fender at once arrested the Sergeant
who was taken before Aid, Duty. Capt.
Thorpe, who was present at the exsmina-
ton, asked the Sergeant to produce the
pass which he had given him, but the lat
ter said he did know where twas The
chamber-maid said that the Sergeant was
not the man whom she had seen lurking
about Major DoddridRe's room. The Ser
geaut was committed to the Atheneum.
s P: S.-Siuce writing the above we learn
that Farley, Omens and Golden have also
been arrested. All of the parties protest
their innocence of any knowledge of the
transaction, and we, are not aware of any
further evidence against them than the
pass above alluded to.
We have been in possession of the above
facts since Saturday, but at the request of
the parties more Immediately interested
we consented to withhold the facts in the
hope that the efforts of the police to ar
rest the guilty parties might be facilitated.

E6S- SMALL Po2 IN STEUBENvILLE.-The
steubepYille Herald says: that some time in
the month of January last, black man
who had been employed on a boat down
the river, returned to that city bringing,
with him the small pox. Before the pus'
tules were off his face he was TO be seen
standing upon the street corners, upon the
streets and about public places. The re-
suit of this was that another black man
caught the loathsome disease, and another
and another. So. that long before the first
of April, there were be seen walking
about the streets and standing upon the
street corners half a dozen convalescents-
american citizens of African descent
It was not long, of course. before the NAL
ady was transferred to white men, then in
to white families, until now it has spread
into every ward in the city.
