to General Sherman in regard to outrages per-

advocates the extension OF civil authority over

BOLD ROBBERY BY DAYLIGHT.

Tho hODDers FOlleds
Another bold tinbox robbery has occurred In
broad daylight and within the Jurisdiction Of the
police. Several very daring ana successful raids
have been made heretofore ON the valuabes Of down
town merchants in the day time and IN the midst Of
Of business men, but this Ia the latest
and perhaps the boldest II not the most audacioua
The ONCE Of James Brand, shipping merchant, is
situated at No. 72 Beekman street. 1t is the custom
Of Mr. Brand to send every day at twelve O'Clock his
faithful porter to the bank with the money then
ready for lodgment in a tin box. The man returns
with 1t about one O'Clock, and then waits about the
oce for orders until four O'Clock arrives when ne
again takes the oox to bank. At twelve
yesterday the porter went on his usual
rounds ana returned in time to perform
his ordinary duty When the hour approached for
hix start for the bank he found, to his dismay,
that the box was gone. The most diligent search
on the part OF the Officers OF the bank failed TO find
It, and considerable excitement prevailed This was
further increased when 1t was discovered that the
box had been filled with securities and valuable
papers, which Mr. Brand intended to lodge
III the bank. 1t contained pr0missory notes,
shipping receipts, bills Of lading, insurance policies
and various other documents represe nting $40 oOO
The inquiries made by the clerks in Mr.. Brands
onice concerning the disappearance Of the tin box
elected the fact ns At about Ss oss tOr
purpose as it then seemed, of making
some business inquiries. One Of them engaged the
cashier of the house In conversation, and the other,
1t Is supposed avalled himself Of the opportunity to
make Oh with the box. The cashier does not know
positively when the theft was committed, but 1t
must have been between the hours OF one and four,
ana no other suspicious characters but these two
young men were in the ONCE during that time
Mr.. Brand communicated with chief detective
Kels0 at the Central office In the evening apd asked
his assistance: About nine O'Clock last night oficer
Donoghue, Of the Fifteenth precinct, found the
stolen box lying against fence In Wooster street,
near Amlty, open aud rummaged thoroughly Owing
TO the telegraph despatch that had passed from
station house to station house during the evening,
the captain OF the Fifteenth not surprised when
the officer brought In the box. On searching IL he
found that the papers there and that none
missing. Mr.. Brand was sent for and quickly ar
rived at the station. He fully Identified the box and
It's contents as his own.
