THE PADUcAH EXPRESS ROBBERY.

Adams Express Company at Padu-
cab, and stated that the whole
amount had been recoxered or-se-
cured. We learned yesterday full par
ticulars Of the remarkable affair. 1t
will be remembered that the first re-
| port.fan in this wise. The messenger
on the Linton. while returning alone
from the Express Office to the boat,
was attacked, knocked down, dragged
some distance. and robbed of large
hameaBb Of money-said! at the time

The facts are that the messenger
vas returning to the boat contrary
| to the orders. Of the superintendent,
alone The Linton laid outside the
| wharfboat the Shore doors Of which
we're shut. and ingthe shadow Of the
boat the night. was very dark. Ihe
messenger had beneath his coat, I'M
der one arm al package containing
money to the amount of 1892 Oh,
and under his other arm a small pack
age of express goods. As he was
passing through the shadow of the
wharfboat, large and small man
approached, and the large man
asked if he was the express mes
senger. Not suspectingg any dan
ger, he promptly answered, Yes-H
The man resumed, :; You are the very
man we are looking for, = and laid his
hand upon hisashoulder. . The mes
senger, lot understanding the 'pfoce-
Ednre, but snspecting some danger,
commenced to- back out, when the
| smallerman sefzea.hihL5 He shouted
for " help and awas struck on the
head with billy By the small man,
the larger one at the same time put
ting pistol against his face, saying
|. if he made any further outcrx he
would shoot him through the mouth.
The messenger begged for his life,
saying that he would make
no further noise The robbers
then dragged him to some considera-
BILE distance and went through him, I"
as the saying is. but found nothing of
valne-the messenger having, dur
ing the first struggle, let the pack
ages fall without their. being noticed
by the assailants. After searching
him closely the robbers let him go.
He returned to- the place where the
assault was made, and there found the
package of money The idea at-once
flashed across his mind that the at
tack upon him would serve to attract
suspicion from himaa There was a
large sum of money that he could APP
propriate without suspicion or detec-
tions aud inca moment man who
had been always esteemed honest, and
had engaged the fullest confidence
of his employers, became a thief.
An Agent Of the Company went to
investigate the matter, He watched
the messenger for ten days, obtained
facts that excited his susp cions.
These suspicious were. strengthened.
The messenger was accused of the
theft, made full confession,s restored
all the money. except little over
hundred dollars, which. he says. he
thinks in moment of excitement he
threw overheard, and he is now IN
jail at Paducah.

NEW METRoPoLITAN.-T was
quite a large and highly respectab BILE
audience at the Theatre last night.
The play of Colleen Bawn passed off
very well indeed oand much to the
satisfaction of the audience. Miss
Fife johnson, as Ely OConner,
made very fine impression. She is
petite and pretty, and possessedsof de-
cided talent. M Holland is as nat
ural as life and vastly improved.
Some of his representations were rem
dered with very marked ability. Mrs.
Charles J.. Towards Sheelah Mann
was one of the most perfect repre-
sensations of reckless Irish woman
we ever witnessed. Miss Jackson's

great drama of the I" Ticket of Leave
Man, with Miss Efhe Johns as Mrs.
Willoughby, Mr.. Holland as Robert
Briefly, and Mrs. Charles T. Howard

will doubtless be crowded house to-
night, and seats should be secured
early.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-At late
hour last night we learned that dis
graceful row occurred at the grocery
Off Leuis HaBseI, corner bof Third
Avenue and Tenth Street, which re-
suited in the killing of a young man
named Louis Reidel, and in the terri
bic beating of the proprietor, Louis
Hanse1. We saw Hansel at the Office
of DR.. Day about midnight, with his
head full of horrid gashes aud terri
bly, bruised from a free use of iron
weights. He was in such terrible
agony from his injuries that we could
only gather from him the fact that
crowd Of roughs, all strangers to him,
entered his bar room, raised muss,
and beat him as above described. We
could not learn how Reidel was kill
ed, or whether. he belonged to the
party of Founders or not The Cor
oner was sent for to hold an inquest
on the body.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Alt is posi-
lively understood that Hancock will
not go to New Orleans until after
the 18th of October
The Radicals carried Vermont by
$4,000 majority.
AS yet the President has not given
form to the expected amnesty procla-
nation, nor has he decided upon the
details. The subject has not been
formally considered in the Cabinet,
but it is probable it will be discussed
at the session Friday next.
MIR. johnson has, however, deter
mined upon issuing general amnes-
ty proclamation within a short time,
unless he shall hereafter change his
purpose, the proclamation will in,
clude all who participated in the re
bellion, sare probably from fly to
one hundred persons, against whom
criminal charges of heinous charac'
ter are preferred, or cases in which
it is alleged that the usages of war
fare in civilized nations have been
grossly violated.
