Was He Robbed


The Pittsburg Chronicle of last evening gives
the following dubious case of robbery
yesterday morning, a man giving his name
~ Daniel Ulrich, hailing from Keokuk Iowa,
arrived at the Union Depot, on the 1910 train
on the Pittsburg. Fort WAYNE, and Chicago
railroad. Seeking out the officers of the depot,
he announced that he had been robbed of a
pocketboOk containing $6500 in bills. He said
the money was in six $1,000 bills, and ive
500 bills, and had been contained in
a wallet which he had carried in an
inside vest pocket, and showed an awk-
ward, ragged cut In his vest, which, he
said, had been made by the thief II that be
true the thief succeeded much better than he
deserved, for, from the appearance of the cut,
ne was at best but bungling thief. Mr. Ulrlch
satq ne could not tell whether he had been
5oDoed on the train or while standing on the
eePoJ platform at Fort Wayne and had not

perry. He seemed not to feel his loss very

THE NECESSITY FOR MAXnILIAN's ExEcU-
TIoN.-D. w. Seager writes from the city Of
Mexico, June %, to Senior Romero, the Next
can Minister at Washington, saying that, as
matters then stood, he looked forward to a per-
nnanent state of peace and prosperity for the
country. Regarding the reasons for the execu-
ton of Macmillan the writer asys:
The execution of Macmillan, though entire
ly opposed to my ideas of a high-toned civiliza-
ton, or OF truly profound policy, was yet q
measure OF urgent necessity. To his stupid
party he was a Messiah. His fanaticism an.
of the compliance with this fatal necessity
were apparent on the instant, and 1 traced a
relic Of that Moorish custom, that the instant
the chief is down all is given UP as lost The
capital, though protected by very respectable
works of defence, fell and made no sign the
same hour this fact was known. He was the
last hope OF the party, and it is urged with
truth that, while he existed, the hydra head
ed monster would perpetually rear its front
where padres, monjas, military adventures
might be found. Judged by his own sanguin-
airy laws, especially that of the Sd of October
1865, it could not be otherwise. The horrible
atrocities, the wholesale butcheries, the long
sustained immolations for political causes were
too fresh to be ignored, and none were more
convinced of this terrible necessity than him
SELF He died like a man of courage, while
MIramOn quailed like a cruel coward as he
was. Marquee, O'Horan and Lacunza are not
yet caught, and we shall see that these will
satisfy the vengeance for four years of unheard
of misfOrtunes.
