Among the securities taken BY the burglars

the Portage Lake and Lake Superior Ship Canal
Company. These bonds are secured by lien
upon SOC, 900 acres Of choice mineral lands on
the upper peninsula OF Michigan, and are In all

Mr.. D. p. Martin, received communication

HEAVY EXPRESS ROBBERY.

The Augusta Chronicle brings as the part!-
culars OF heavy robbery, which occurred in
Georgia few days ago, and Of which the
Southern Express Company has been the vic
tim. The booty captured on the occasion was
considerable, the thieves getting four thous-
and nine hundred dollars in currency. The
facts Of the case are as follows:
There Is in the employ OF the Southern Ex.
dress Company young gentleman, resident
OF this county, and OF the best family, Mr. But
Ter B. Mays. who had situation as messenger,
and ran in that capacity on the Central h1ii-
road, between Savannah and Macon. A rev

ing on board OF his car with him quantity OF
Express freight, and one OF the IRON chests 10
which the money forwarded by the COM
pany is usually transported. Entering his
car with the money all right, the train
left Savannah tor Macon. On the portion
of the line between Savannlh and Mil
len, we understand that MIR. Mays went to
sleep, leaving his money and freight all right.
Ga arriving at Millen be awoke and found q
package containing four thousand nine hun
dred dollars had been stolen from his possess
sion while he slumbered. Not knowing what
else to do, the horritied messenger immediate
ly returned to Savannah and reported the loss
to his superior officers. We are informed that
superintendent Dempsey and General Supeiin:.
tendept O'Brien were fortunately in Savannah
at the time, and at once took the matter in
hand and endeavored to ferret out the robber
or robbers. Up to this time, however, their
efforts in that direction have been Of no avail,
and the afflir still remains enshrouded in
mystery MIR. Mays came this city day
or two since and was closely examined
by both the officers OF the Express Com
pany and the chief Of police; but was
unable 10 give any information, BY. which
a clue to the guilty parties could be OBJ
tanned; but We are glad to hear that no crimi-
naity attaches itself to Mr.. Mays. Three men
who were on the train at the time are suspect
ed OF being the guilty parties, but sufficient
proof has not yet been collected to warrant
their arrest. Que of these men is said to have
come to Augusta, and the police here are on
his track and are busy endeavoring to get
clue by which he may be nabbed. 10 Savan-
nah the police is also busily engaged in work
ing no the case. The most reasonable hypo-
thesis seems to be that these men followed MIR.
NAYS from savannah, where they had proba::
bly seen him, and planned the robbery, and
had watched him on the train until he slept
and then bagged the booty.
