AuDAo1oUs ROBBERY In BROOKLYN.

Four Hundred Dollars Taken from q
Cashiers Desk-PistOls and q Rowboat
Effect a Safe Retreat for the Thieves.
One of the most daring and successful robberies
ever committed in Brooklyn was reported by the
police of the Second precinct Of that city last
ing. About five O'Clock two rough looking young
men, one of whom carried an envelope In his hand,
entered the office of the sewing machine
mandatory, OF Blees 4 Co., corner Of
John ana Bridge streets, and approaching the
desk at which the head OF the firm was seated, en-
gagged in paying Off the workmen, gave Mr. Bees
the decoy note. The latter undertook to break
accomplce OF the rufflan who delivered 1t suddenly
seized roll OF grcenbacks amounting to $400,
that was lying on the desk. the men present
were stunned for a. moment by surprise at
the audacty Of. the act, but, regaining their
presence OF mind, closed in about the
robbers to dispossess them Of the money. The
thieves, however, were armed, and drawing re.
vovers presented the muzzles OF their weapons at
them, threatening to shoot any one who attempted
to modest them. AS they did so they receded, and
backing out of the Office gained the sidewalk. They
then turned and ran on rapidly down John street
to Gold street and through the latter thoroughfare
to the dock. They were pursued and "hue and
cry' raised, but their weapons warned back
their pursuers to a respectful distance. At the
wharf they met by three OF their gang, who had
tumbled ''pell nell, and were rapidly pulled away
from the Brooklyn shore out into the stream and
auently Patrolman Bedell, OF the Second precinct,
ascertained that Hugh O'Connor, alias John Smith,

summation OF the audacious act, and the officer
took O'Connor into custody on suspicion OF his
being an accomplish OF the rascals. The prisoner,
who bears a bad reputation among the police,
passed pistol to friend as soon as the officer ar
rested him. The impression is that the accused

THE STEAMSHIP v1B1L1A.

A Sues Line OF steamers from London to
India and China-Arrival In This Port
OF the Pioneer Steamship OLA q Trial
Trip.
Imaugurating new era in travel and commerce
to India from London has been the recent establish
ment of new line Of steamships to run between
the English capital and various East Indian ports
A pioneer steamship Of this line, the vibilia, ar
rived at this port on last Tuesday, she having
here on trial trip. This steamship, which
is built Of iron, was built at Newcastle
on-Tyne. was constructed specially for the
navigation of the Suez Canal the China seas and
Indian Ocean. Her construction was in conformity
to the long experiences in eastern navigation Of
Captain G. II. ]. Baker, her present Commander
AS far as perfection is possible in the construction
of ocean steamships, 1t is shown in this Her ven
tilation, consideration of primal Importance, Is
perfection ITSELF Her cabin, q model of elegance
and beauty, is the synonym OF GOODNESS and COM
fort On either side are windows admitting free
circulation OF air all her panels are Of marble and
Mnton tiles. This cabin is also furnished
with piano. pleasing and almost Indispensable
The same regard to thorough ventilation and COM
fort shows itself in the staterOoms More capacous
and elegant staterooms are not to be found In any
of our ocean steamers. There are also five bath.
rooms, an indispensable luxury in this age of ad-
vanced steamship civilization In every respect in
and perfection OF finish this steamer certainly
stands head and shoulders ahead OF any steamer
ever before entering this port.
The vibilia, as will be seen by her dimensions is
q colossal steamer. Her length is 3O2 feet, breadth
Of beam 80 feet and depth Of hold 20 feet She has
bunk accommodations for $50 tons of COAL regis
tiers 124O tons and carries 2240 tons Of cargo in
draft of 10 feet water Her consumption of fuel is
only seventeen to nineteen tons OF coal In twenty
four hours, and when loaded she steams twelve
knots-a thing unheard Of in previous ocean steam
ship navigation. The Viba is now lying at pier
No. IA East River. She started from London on the
same day as the Hevetia but although stopping
at Plymouth for forty-eight hours to take in COAL
arrived at this port nearly three days in advance OF
the latter steamer. In every respect the trial trip
has proved satisfactory the engines never having
had to stop once which (she being new steam
ship is a wonderful performance She brought no
passengers with her, but will take q limited num-
Der on her return, which will be in about week.
Those contemplating voyage to Europe cannot do
better than inspect her accommodations, or any in
quiries of Bruce d Co., 13 Broadway, her agents,
will be cheerfully answered. Meantime 1t Is said
that this line Is the precursor of similar line
to be established between London and New York. II
such line is established, and II 1t Is composed of
such fine steamships as the viba. it cannot, in
the rapid increase in transatlantic travel, be other
wise than successful.
