A SINGULAR CASE.
Robbery md Arrest.


On Monday night the mill of Messrs. Croker
81 Mcbride, manufacturers of shawls, situate
on Shoemaker's lane, near the station of the
Germantown Railroad Company, was entered
and robbed of o lot of shawls to the value of
$3.50. The Fourteenth district police were noti-
fed, but could find no traces of the thieves.
But singular cases occasionally occur in police
matters, and this was destined to be one of
them. Early yesterday morning one of the
Ninth district officers found lying on the pave
ment in Callowhin street, near Tweuty-third,
an inebrated chap named John Moore, and by
his side u carpet-bag containing two new shawls.
Moore was taken to the station house, and being
unable to account for his possessing the goods
was sent to prison.
Lieutenant Souder supposing that they had
been stolen Immediately detailed Special Officer
McGrane to notify all known shawl mauufac-
turers, which he did, a number of them visiting
the station house but failing to identify the
stolen property. The Lieutenant was beginning
to think that the fellow was innocent of theft
when yesterday afternoon he was called upon
by Mr.. William j. Mcbride, of the above-named
firm, who desired to see the shawls. The goods
were at once shown hin and readily identified
as part of the articles stolen on Monday night.
The prisoner Moore was then sent for, and
Mr.. Mcbride, on facing him, remembered to
have seen him prowling around the mill on
Monday afternoon. The evidence being so con-
elusive, Moore was taken before Alderman Pan
coast, where the above facts were reiterated.
Moore now resides in Hotel de Perkins.

Real Impeaches Governor Holman.

In a statement TO the public, Real refers as
follows to Governor Hoffman:-I have not been
without hopes of a Communication of my sem
tence. 1t has seemed impossible to me that
such evidence should not have had its effect
upon the mind of the Governor. What man in
my position could have thought otherwise !?
The Governor offers the Nathan murder, and
Judge Barnard held up the Rogers murder as
an excuse for my death.
But what had l to do with those murders? l
did not murder either Mr.. Nathan or Mr.. Rogers.
j should have had justice without any reference
10 those murders. Should ], an innocent man,
be sent to the gallows because the police failed
TO discover the men who did those bloody deeds ?
But these are mere excuses. / am sent to
my grave for far different reasons. All my DO
litieal friends in the Twenty-irst ward were
opposed to Mr.. Hoffman's nomination for Gov
ernor. They gave all their support to the Hon.
Henry G. Murphy of Brooklyn, who was a rival
candidate. So long as my friends sustained Mr..
Hoffman and the other Tammany nominees, so
long i was undisturbed. My case was never
called TO trial until my friends supported Mr..
Murphy as a candidate for Governor, months
and months after / was arrested. These
facts are not only known to Gov. Hoffman. but
10 nearly every politician IN the city. The
Tsmmanv politicians took advantage of the
excitement caused by Lne Rogers murder 10

Despatch TO the Associated Press.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. s. Secretary Robson
has received a letter from Commander j. +.
Green, commanding the flagship Congress,
dated ST. Domingo City, July 81, in which he
says;-"No change has taken place in the poll
tical condition of the Dominican republic
since forwarding my last communication on the
subject. In an interview with President Baez
to-day he said the republic was in a peaceful
condition, and that he did not antici-
pate any interruption to the present
state of affairs so long as our Government
should manifest a desire for the annexation of
the republic to the United States. 1 learn from
other sources that the rejection of the treaty by
the United States Senate has caused considera-
BILE disappointment to the people of st. Do
mingo city and its vicinity, and that some per-
sons, including both those who favor the treaty
and those hostile to annexation, are disposed to
attribute 1t to mismanagement and bad faith on
the part of the Dominican Government in the
negotiation of the treaty. / am inclined to The
opinion that a withdrawal of the protection of
the United States, and of the prospect of an
nexation at SOM future time, would lead to
revolution by Cabral."

LEGAL INTELLIGEMcE.
A Queer Forgery Case.

Court of Quarter Sessions-Judge Pdrson.
This morning a young man answering TO the
name OF Charles Baum was put upon trial on n
charge of attempting to forge and utter the
check of George Fl. Vandyke & Co., liquor
merchants, in Market street, above Sixth, upon
the National Bank of the Republic. From the
evidence it appears that on the 18th of May the
prisoner took q room at the st. Charles Hotel,
in Third street, registering himself as James A.
Lewis, of Boston. A few days afterwards he
went to Mr.. Vandyke and purchased a bill of
liquors amounting to $3.50, which he directed
to be sent to No. 51S Callowhill street, where he
said his brother, Adam Baum, Jr., kept a liquor
store. He gave a fifty dollar note in payment,
requesting change to be made by $3.50 cash
and $40 by check, which was done and then he
went away. The liquor was sent to the place
designated by him, but no such person as Adam
Baum, Jr., could be found there; in fact, the
number was o tin shop.
In a short time he returned to the store and
said he had been unfortunate with his check,
that he had accidentally used it in order to
light a cigar, installing it for a piece of waste
paper. He produced the remnant of the check,
which certainly had the appearance of having
been burned, but at the same time emitted
strongly the mel of oXalic acid. Mr.. Vandyke
suspected something wrong, and accordingly
sent for Detective Gordon, who came around
and took Baum into custody. He told the de-
tective that he was stopping at the Western
Hotel, but q letter found on him contradicted
the assertion. A number of checks, some filed
and others blank, were found on him. In his
room at the hotel n lamp, a small tin cup burned
black and smelling of acid, and a piece of paper
labelled ''oxalic acid" were found, which led TO
the theory that he had attempted to obliterate
the figures on the check by holding it over the
acid while burning, and held the check too near
the flame. The fact that he had endeavored to
have the cheek certified as good at the National
faced, seemed to corroborate this view. The
case is still on trial.

at sea between France and Prussia thus far.

The French say that the needle-guu recoils
