Of the Treasury Department
II was first stated that the sword was taken
on Monday night, but from facts ascert tanned
by the detectives IL is clear that II taken in
the afternoon Of that day. These facts are as
follOws:-On Monday night q my sterious per-
son went TO a merchant OF this city AID offered

would oblige him with the loan Of hundred
dollars be would give as security a sword
which had been presented to his grandfather
by the Duke of Cambridge. and the merchant
finally agreed, and the party went off and re-
turned with the sword, saying that he would
not bring the scabbard. as II was too valuable.
Having satisfied themselves that the sword
was safe, the next question was who was the
guilty party, and they soon came to the con
clusion that an enploye of the office. who had
appeared greatly agltated when the officers
commenced their inquiries, knew something

they are authorized by the Brlcklayers' Union
ef tins city, 10 request the publication In the
STAR OF n statement In reference 10 the remarks
of Mr. George w. Hardness, at a recent meet
ing of the Builders Union. .'that n the journey
men plasterers got 20 per day, the brickiayers'
would strike for Sc per day" They say that
such statement places the brIc klayers' in q
false position; that Mr.. Hardness was not just-
fed in making such an allegations; that the
standard of wages of bricklayers' in this city Is
fixed at 81 so per day the same as last season,
when more of their members received wages
over that per diem than were paid according to
the standard; that they depend on the demand
and compitition of employers to raise wages
over The standard Of the Uu,on this year as last:
and that there need be no apprehension of a
bricklayer's strike. In conclusion, they pro-
test against being dragged into the Proceedin g
of the Builders Union by parties not connected
with their business, and against all efforts to
precIpitate a conflict between them and their
employers.
The Journeymen Bookbinders' Society, at
their meeting on Saturday night, adopted resO-
lutions heartily endorsing the action Of the
journeymen plasterers; appropriating $50 for
their benefit, and recommending a meeting OF
