HEAVY ROBBERY.
Two Employees Of the Adams Express
Company Chloroformed, and Over
$50, 900 stolen.

Tuesday night was a dismal, dreary
season. Long before midnight rain
commenced falling, and from that time
till morning there was a constant driz.
zle, varied with heavy, beating showers.
1t was just the kind Of a night for the
operations Of thieves and burglars.
Everybody who had shelter sought II,
unless he had urgent business. Those
who inhabit the Union depot can scarce
" be said to have shelter, but they took
the nearest thing to it they had, and
aler midnight the scene presented 3
quiet scene Of dreariness.
George Bradley and Richard Collier,
in charge of the Adams Express Office
at the depot, turned into their hunks, as
usual, soon after one o'clock in the
morning, having transacted their bust.

double doors OF the Office, which open
outside of the depot, were fastened
merely with a bolt, which was fastened
to one door by means of nails and ex-
tended into the socket Of the other door
perhaps an inch. Ii was subsequently,
discovered that the bolt had been strain.
ed and the nails started, by pushing
from the outside in such manner that
the fastenings gave way aud the doors
swung open. Mr.. Collier believes that
he and Mr. Bradley did not go tc sleep
till about Las.
On the arrival OF the train from Gin.
cinnati, at 2:35, Bradley and Collier did
not make their appearance as usual,
and the guard was sent to ascertain the
cause. He found the doors OF the Office
ajar, and entering discovered the occu.

then turned TO Mr.. Collier The room
was thoroughly chloroformed, and il
was not until after repeated exertions
that Mr.. Collier was aroused the thief,

chloroform TO him first, for the sponge
used was found near the face OF Mr..
Bradley.
Finally both were aroused, when il
was ascertained that the keys Of two
safes had been taken from Mr. Brad.

Four sealed pouches containing money
had been taken out; one OF them had
been opened by breaking through the
seal, but the others were cut, the rascals

taken is believed 10 be over $60, 600

ed without the bills. About $2l 900 OF
the money was for the paymaster oi the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, at Cum
berland, and several thousand for a
Panhandle paymaster.
The chloroforming was so effectual
that the sufferers still ielt the effects on
their systems yesterday.

WEATHER REPORT.
Synopsis for the Past Twenty-four
Hours.

HOURS.
WASHINGTON, May l9.-The weather
continues without material change on
the Pacific coast and at the Rocky
Mountain stations. The barometer
has continued high in the Middle and
South Atlantic States; the area OF the
highest barometer having moved south
eastward the pressure has fallen decid.
edly on the lower lakes and still more
so in the northwest, where the tempera-
ture has increased very rapidly. The
disturbance indicated last night in Ala
bama moved Eastward with light rains; ;
the cloudiness has increased on the
lower lakes and the Mississippi Valley,
and a storm prevails with some severity
in Northern Wisconsin.
ProbabiKties-It is probable that the
barometer will fall in the Middle and
EasternlStates, with cloudy weather on
Saturday, and that brisk southwesterly
and southeasterly winds will be exper-
fenced from Lake Ontario to Lake
Michigan.

this place. He was arrested short
time since for burglary There were
three others in the jail at the time, and
a short time previously were talking
TO him. He fastened sheet 10 the

Mr.. Trumbull repeated that nothing
Of the kind appeared before the com
mittee.
Mr.. Morton resumed, saying that one
Senator intimated that the copy came
from him, (Mr. Morton.) AS he at the
proper time would be prepared to make
a full showing, he would now contend
himself by saying the intimation was an
atrocious and cowardly falshood.
There was not a circumstance of which
he had any knowledge that could sus-
tain it, and it was made of whole cloth.
The Vice President remarked that
the Senator was not now in his seat
Mr.. Morton said he did not intimate
that the Senator originated the story;
it had been told to him. He hoped
that all the Senators would be ques-
toned before the committee when he
could make a full statement, as he de.
sired to do so.
Mr.. Simmer said there was no testi-
mony before the committee in the re-
motest degree sustaining such allega-
tions.
Mr.. Wilson remarked that he saw in
the Chronicle a statement to the effect
that an advance copy of the treaty was
placed in his hands. He wished mere
ly TO say that he had not been furnish
ed with an advance copy. He received
his copy on Thursday, the day after the
treaty was transmitted. At the same
time copies were delivered to other Sen
ators.
Mr.. Edmunds said that this scene
illustrated the propriety of continuing
the examination of witnesses until they
tell the truth. II the witnesses tell the
truth then they would all know where
the treaty came from, and Senators
would be exonerated or not as the case
might be- They never would know the
truth until somebody was obliged to
tell.
Mr. Morton remarked that the sus-
picion was directed against him on
this floor. He was not to be driven
from doing what was right because OF
an intimation from Senator.
Mr.. Edmunds thought he had heard
it intimated in a good many quarters
and referring to more than one Senator.
He said he voted in aid OF the investi-
CATION as one member Of the Senate.
He had never heard point leading to
suspect thatany Senator was implicated,
nor did he suspect any Senator.
The Senate then went into Executive
Session on the treaty.
The Senate remained in secret ses-
sion until five o'clock discussing the
treaty.

New YORK, May l9.-On the 10Th OF
November last the body of William II.
Gumbleton, young Irishman, who had
lately arrived in this country, provided
with ample funds, was found in the lake
near Chicago. From the mutilated
appearance of the body he was believed
to have been murdered, and circum-
stances strongly pointed to late com.
panion of Gumbleton's named Alfred
Ziegenmirger as the assassin. Search
was accordingly instituted for Ziegen.
mirger, who was found to have fled TO
Germany, and officers were Immediately
dispatched there, who succeeded in ei.
iecting his capture. He was brought
