Particulars of the Merchants Unisn Ex.
press Robbery-A Singular Case.

PROM the new YORK Tribune, Sept al
Late on Saturday night last the Montreal
tTaIn on the hudson River Railroad left Alba.
nv for this city, having attached q car from
III falo belonging to the Merchants Union
EanIess company, which was in charge Of Z.
Z. Gillette. one or the company's messengers
Wnen the train arrived at the Thirtsent tn street
depot, on Sunday morning, one Of the railroad
employees knocked on the door Of the car, but
there " aseno response. The car was soon af-
ter taken 10 the office OF the COMPANY corner
OF Hudson and Leonard streets. when the
oosrs was broken open with 4 bar. Gin 5tte
was not to be found, while a door on the o. ar
f,oe OF the car was open. 1t was found thas
over S2l,C00 was missing. The key OF the safe
was in the lock, and attached TO 1t was a note
from Gillette, saying that all was right, and
that he would appear At IL O'Clock on Monday
morning and explain his conduct. He stated
that 1t was for the interest OF the company
that the robbery should be Kept secret The
lette's arrest. At exactly IL O'Clock yesterday
morning Mr.. Miller, general manager lot the
ompany in this city, received note from
e,te, req nesine M Mia VENT to the nscs
designated, when Gillette admitted the rob.
bery He further said that for long time
whisky had been his curse and he was deter
mined to be rid OF 1t. He saw only two ways
by which 10 accomplish this-to spend q few
years in Sing Sing prison, or to engage In bust
pess for himself He thought If he should dis
pose of the companys money they would offer
n reward OF few thousand dollars for Its re.
eovery. He could py this means make q forced
loan, which some time he would repay, and
with THE money he would start his pusi-
ness. Should this fail, he would try Sing Sing
He particularly desired to engage in business,
for he had for eight years been engaged to
marry young lady living in Buffalo, and he
thought the time for marriage had come. After
talking few minute he concluded to reveal
what he had done with the money, whether a
reward was gwen him or not. He said when
the train reached this city he Immediately
went TO Newark and hired a horse and buggy
there, from whence he went to Bellevue, where
he buried the money. He offered to guide the
agent 10 the place W here the money was buried
and accorsingly some OF the officers Of the
company accompanied him there. All the
Opey was recovered. Gillette has been in the
employ OF the Merchants Union Express Com
papy since the 1st of January last, and has
been most eff cient and esteemed MESSENGER
He is undoubtedly insane. All his accounts
for his last trip from Buffalo were found, how.
ever, 10 be made out accurately. He had two
long pages CT entries, amounting to S2l,7iO o.
and in all this he had not made a single
mistake.
