A DARING THIEF.
Stolen Coupons-Sale of the SpOi1s-A
Chase and CAPTURE.

Stolen Coupons-SRle OF the spOiIs-A
Chase and Capture.
A small tin box containing coupons of rail-
road bonds, amounting to about $1,000, which
was taken from the vault of the New York
Chemical Bank, ou Monday, and during brief
absence of Mr.. Jenes, the President, left in O
small safe In his Office vas adroity stolen. The
thief is supposed to have taken advantage Of
the presence of some masons who were making
repairs in the area adjoining the Office; but he
must have passed into the ofice through the
usual entrance, and within the observation
of the entire force of clerks. The
persons who came into posses
sion of the bonds were sufficiently
well informed to present them without delay at
the Office of the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany where the interest was paying. man
took his place in the line of coupon Olders,
yesterday, about 12 o'clock, and duly received
&413 as the amoEnt of II coupons of the Evans
vile and Charlottesville Railroad. About an
hour after, he presented three coupons of the
Terre Haute, Vandalia, and st. Louis Railroad.
The necessary computations were not completed
upon these, and they were handed back to him
TO figure up the amount of deduction for Gov
ernment tax. 1t was noticed that he seemed
at q loss how to do this, and that
he sought the aid of some one present.
Meantime, Mr.. Jones of the Chemical Bank
appeared and informed the officers of the Trust
Company that certain coupons had been stolen
from him, and the man then engaged in what
were to him SO odif1cultcomputations was pointed
out as the person who had presented some of
the coupons referred to. The President of the
Trust Company requested the man to step inte
the private Office. The latter made movement
as if to comply with the request, and then rushed
out into the street, followed by the cry of stop
thief" He was captured after running short
distance, and was turned over to Captain Ull-
man, of the First District police. At the Tombs
he gave the name of Suttsn, and was locked up
TO awAt examination.

The extensive Improvements at Harsimus Cove
Jersey City will doubtless be pushed forward
Immediately, on the event of the Pennsylvania
Company acquiring the New Jersey roads, mas
much as that the great corporation will there
establish its chief tide-water terminus. The
viaduct railway in Jersey City will be built, and
the whole covered with freight aud passenger
buildings. This elevated railway, branching
from the present line at the rocky point beyond
Jersey City, will proceed to Harsimus Cove by
a line between South Third and South Fourth
streets, the companies having already purchased
the right of way, as we'll as the Cove lands
which lie next below the Erie docks.

Your managers in the last annual report stated
that "al Of the steamers of the company were in
good condition, with the exception Of the iona
wanda and Juniata, which were then undergoing
repairs, the latter steamer requiring q new boiler
and both vessels extensive repairs" as the work
progressed it was found that much larger
amount than was at that time supposed necessary
would be required, and your managers, believing it
both vessels to be thoroughly overhauled Two new
boilers and a surface condenser have been put in
been replaced by iron and she Is now entirely an

In conclusion your managers can but congratulate
the stockholders on the proposed establishment OF
the American Steamship Company as afording an
outlet from this city for the surplus staples of the
South. The outward freights Of the company have
shown steady increase, but owing to the want of
foreign outlet the return freights have not shown
the same result. This will be obViated by the pro-
practical commencement with the lVeliest interest.

A scientific examination has just been made
of certain coal beds discovered some time ago
on the River Indie, Isthmus of Panama, about
35 miles from .Aspinwall, and the results are
said to be very encouraging. The mines
are the property of the Rev. Richard Temple,
who, in company with two civil engineers,
Aessrs. Ensor and Arnold, has Just traversed the
Isthmus from the Pacific 10 the Atlantic side,
part of the way on foot, and part in canoes, and
has brought $500 pounds of the mineral to Aspin-
wall to be tested. The reports of the scientific
gentlemen concur in representing that the coal
is clean, almost pure carbon, somewhat resem-
bling camel ia appearance, light, very free from
sulphur and iron and apparently abundant. II
lies in seams of from nine to twelve feet thick,
and great deal of 1t is found directly in the
beds of small afluents OF the Idaho. This river
is navigable months In the year. trial was
made with 1863 pounds of the ceal at the Pacific
Mail steamship CompaEyls wharf at AspnWal
on the 18th of April, in the presence of the
L. 8. Consul and all the officers and employees
OF the steamship company, according to whose
account the result was highly satisfactory. They
represented the coal to be of superior quality
burning freely, with little smoke, aud without
much draft, leaving no clinksr and raising
steam one third quicker than an equal weight
of Cumberland coal.

to be regretted that your company does not now
possess spare steamer TO take the place OF any one

The annual picnic and festival OF the Fenian
Brotherhood Of Manhattan district took place yes.
terday at jones' Wood. Over seven thousand OF
the patriotic exiles OF Erin were present
on the grounds and from early noon until
late at night the fun was fast and furious Peace
and good order and the height of good fellowship
reigned throughout the day. the only thing bearing
the semblance Of muss having originated with a
pair Of elderly ladies Of the Jewish persuaton who
became dissatisfied with each others success in
disposing OF toy balloons and who pulled each
others 'woor' ferociously until separated by a
Christian policeman.
The most attractive feature OF the celebration was
the parade Of the FIRST battalion OF the Legion OF 81.
Patrick. under command OF Colonel Patrick Leon
ard. The parade was highly crediiable to both men
and oficers the marching and the exercises in The
manual OF arms elciting the hearty ap-
pause Of the entire multitude. After the "march
past" and review by General W. G. Halpn, the
Commander IN. Chief of the Legion, the battalion
was drawn up In hollow square, surrounded Dy the
gay and festive crowd, to near a few words of en-
couragement and hope from the Fenian leaders
present After several short and ordinary addresses
had been made General Halpin delivered BRIEF
but very effective speech. General Halpin was fol-
lowed by DR.. Thomas Clarke Lubv and Mr.. ODono-
van Rosa, who spoke briefly and chiefly on the
great necessity OF
UNION AMONG IRISH NArIoNALIsrs.
DR.. Lubv told his hearers that a committee from
the Irish Confederation and one from the Fenian
Brotherhood were now in daily consultation, and
that by Friday next he would be able to proclaim
that lasting and permanent union between those
bodies had been firmly established; an announce
ment which was received with tremendous cheering.

O'Clock one Of the aborers, named Patrick Hughes,
was throwing out the art from the bottom of The
trench in which he was digging, some twelve feet
below the surface OF the street. when the sandy
bank caved in, and Hughes was buried in
an upright position. with his head four or five feet
below the surface OF the dirt which covered him.
Fortunately the accident was seen by many, and
procuring shovels, spades, coal scoops and every.
tnlng else at hand. they began digging with great
energy for the buried man. In the meantime seve-
raj hundred people had rushed 10 the spot and the
excitement became so great that II was necessary
TO establish Gordon OF police to keep them all from
caving in.
For fully I'VE minutes the dirt was thrown on, be-.
fore any signs OF the unfortunate man conld be
found; for they knew not precisely IN what portion
OF the ditch TO look for him. There were heard low

truly remarkable.
