A robbery has just been discovered as
having been perpetrated on the list Of Jan
uary, by which Adams Express Company
suffers to the amount Of $4,000. How tho
money was taken Ia to the outside world as
yet mere conjecture, from the fact that
the agent Of the company 10 this city Is very
reticent aud will vouehsafe to the representa-.
uves OF the pross who visit him no cxplana.
ton Of the afEair other than that n money
package has disappeared, and II Il NOT

been mlScarried, lost or stolen. An InyestI-
CATION 10 going on, he says, but until the
companyS officers finish their researches ho
IL not at liberty 70 say how or where the
package was taken from. 'ar.
All sorts Of rumors In regard to the affair
have been In circulation since Tuesday, the
frst story being that the stolen money was
In bonds, from q Now York bank, intended
for the Treasury Department. Another story
is that the bonds belonged 10 Boston firm,
and were 10 have been delivered at the
Treasury to exchange for registered bonds.
The safe containing these bonds was safely
delivered In the office on Sunday, but, al
Nh0hhu NuNNhNu Nllf huu HANhhk6 was nOk
delivered. 30 much for the stories.
The fact that the money was stolen ap-
pears proven bya confidential circular I'D
dressed 70 the bankers Of this city, which
clrcplar d dated January ., but was not re-
ceiyed until Thursday. This circular states
that tire sum Of t29, 300 teas stolen from Ad.
ans Express office at Washington, on Janu-
airy I, 1870. There were twenty seven 81 900
bonds and Eve $500. These were Of the hrst
and second Issues OF 1903, and Of the July
Issue OF 1907 Tho number Of each bond Is
given.
The bonds, Il Is stated, arc the property
Of Adams' Express Company, who claim
the right TO seize them wherever they may
DO found. Any person 10 whom these bonds
may be presented ls respectfully requested
TO notify the agent OF the company OF tho
fact. The circular Is signed by Henry San
ford, and Ia written In ink. AZ tho number
Of each bond was taken, the prospect Is that
they will be recovered. Tho flrSt announce
ment Of the robbery created quito sensa-
ton among the Metropolitan police detec-
tiyes, who appeared greatly surprised that
they were not called 10 ferret out the then;
the company, however, are "working up tho
case" with their own detectives.
