two of them rs Lockwoods and the other
as Clark. One Of them tried to hire a
team to 20 to Norwalk, but failed, and
they went to Norwalk on Sunday, where
they hired a conveyance and went upon
the hill back of the village 20 an old
shOemakcr'S named Tristan who is an
Uncle OF Clark's. Here they stopped
over night, and returned 10 the village
on Monday. On Monday morning the
old man Tristan came down with q
bundle, which appeared to be pretty
heavy, and which he refused to have
checked and was also sCrupulOUSly
careful to keep in his hands all the
while on his way to New York where
he took it. The suspicious conduct of
the men led to the sending for detec-
tives, but Clark, former substitute
broker, had escaped, and only the two
Lockwoods were arrested at Norwalk.
Two other persons have been arrested
since, and all parties concerned will get
their deserts. Tristam's bundle pro0a-

The Center of all Creation dis
covered.

One OF the carly mayors OF The small
city OF Madison Wisconsin, oti2ially
described that place a. the railroad cen
ter Of the United States the point to
which alh travel would converge where
the travelling millions would stay over
night and from which those who were
senseless enough to 20 away at all,
would take their departure III the morn
ing. This was considered a wonder
Eul discovery and the enthusiastic in
dividual who made it was pronounced
a wonderful man But it seems after
all either that he was Mistaken or else
the travelling millions have taken a turn
and left Madison out IN the cold, For
the first Governor Of the State Of Color
ado, William Gilpin by name, has dis
covered, aud in his message officially
promulgated the fact, that four march
ing columns Of people from the four
quarters Of the globe are cOnverging,
or shortly will converge upon Colorado.
He says:
HAVING ulSul1 u6NSlOl'CN anu
wealthy population Of eight millions
within the State of Colorado, there will
be the convergent point of three great
railways, coming from the cities OF San
Francisco Mexico and New York. Be.
ing on the straight line from Asia tC
Europe, and exactly oquidistant between
them, from thence will branch the CON
nections with the people who inhabi'
the Southern prolOngations Of the Amer
lean Continent. These railroads vii
consequently unite, by the shOrtes
space, the whole population of tn
globe, and will become the lines of trav
ell for the whole human race
And he continues:
"The steady advance upon Us Of tn
progressive movements Of population
remarkable. The broad column adyanC
ing from the east presses upon the Cor
dilleras with u weight of thirty million
Of people, Another column from tn
Pacific advances through CaliiOrni;
