ANOTHER DARING BoxD ROBBERY I'm
NEW YoRR-FoRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
SToLEN Yesterday at about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon d young man of respectable
appearance entered the Office Of the Star
Fire Insurance Company, No. 96, Broad
way, and inquired Of one Of the clerks at
the counter If Mr.. .--H( mentioning the
name Of gentleman who occasionally calls
there) was within. He was answered that
the clerk did not know, and directed to
proceed to the back Office and make further
inquiry there. The counter where ques-
toner and questioned in this dialogue stood,
one on each side of it, is just inside the
street door, running at right angles from
the front of the building. The counter is
about three feet in height, and terminates,
about six feet from the wall, in q range of
desks foot higher than the counter, used
in the transaction of the business of the
company. During the colloquy given above
the secretary of the company stood ct the ex-
treme end of this long desk, nearest the light,
taking down the numbers of quantity of
fve-twenty bonds of different denomina-
tons, amounting in all to $4,000, which
had just been received in the Office as col
lateral in loan made by the company and
accompanying which the customary memo
randum of numbers had not been recei ved.
Just as the young man was informed to look
for the party he inquired for in the back
office, the secretary, having occasion to
use o blot sheet, slightly turned his
head from the light to reach one, and
almost Immediately resuming his former
position, found to his CONSERVATION that in
this slight interval the bonds had been re-
moved, snatched away, while the sight Of
"the young man y making rapid tracks up
the steps into the street informed him by
whom. To jump over the counter and follow
the thief occupied the secretary but an in
slant; but on gaining Broadway his cry of
Stop theft +" brought such crowd around,
all eager to learn "what's the matter,'' that
he lost sight of the fugitive, and was obliged
to relinquish the pursuit Of him.-Nea0

MURDER Wilt OUT.--Night before last
negro man recently released from the city
jail waited upon Captain McClain, chief Of
police, and informed that officer that one
Henry Saunders, confined in the Jail with
him, had stated that Federal soldier was
murdered in October last by two negroes,
ell. Yesterday morning Captain McClain
visited the jail and had an interview with
Henry Saunders, who made the following
statement, In substance One night in Oc-
tober he (Henry sadnders), in company
with Lewis Saunders and George Mitchell,
was going to Camp Schofeld to preaching,
and when passing up Eleventh street near
the college they saw Federal soldier who
was very drunk, and was steadying himself
against the side of stable fronting on
Eleventh street. Lewis and George at once
formed plot to murder and rob the soldier,
which they Immediately proceeded to carry
into execution. Lewis struck the soldier on
the head with his stick, knocking him down,
and George beat his brains out with rock.
They then robbed his body of thirty dollars
in money Che had recently been paid off !,
and took it to ditch near by, where it was
Durleu-d uuuUcr VI IOChS UGluS lulOnI
upon it, and dirt placed over them. These
negroes told Henry that if he ever disclosed
what they had done they would kill him ;
and his fear of being murdered has been go
great that until his unguarded disclosures
in the jail he had kept the bloody deed
concealed in his breast. Henry indicated
as near as he could the spot where the body
was buried, and the officers proceeded there,
and aided by detail Of soldiers furnished
by Colonel Rose, prosecuted an active search
during the day without finding the body,
but discovered several articles of clothing,
which led them to believe that Henry's tale
is true, but that the murdered man had
been removed to some other place after the
first burial. Further efforts will be made
to clear up the matter, and the officers ap-
pear to be confident that the body will yet
be found. taa- s.
About the time Of this reported murder;
Sergeant Perkins, Company F, Twenty
eighth infantry, disappeared mysteriously
and it was supposed he had deserted. 1t Is
now believed, however, he was the person
said by Henry to have been murdered in
the manner stated. -a-...
Lewis Saunders, one of the negroes charged
with the murder, is now in Jail undergoing
sentence petitlareeny. The other, George
Mitchell, is at large, and his present where
abouts are unknown.-Lynchbrg NerS.

WASHINGTON, August I, lS6S.-A highly
