Extensive Gang Of Railroad Robbers
Arrested.

The p. r. w. x G. Il. r have dur
ing the past year or more lost large
amounts of valuable goods while in
transit over the road, and although it
was evident that tie property was stO-
[ len by persons Intimately connected
with the road, vet the thieves covered
up their tracks so well that it was inn
possible to detect them. A few days
ago some suspicious circumstances led
to the arrest of the engineer of q
freight train at Alliance, who upon
being questioned and upon certain
conditions, finally confessed his own
guilt and developed the startling fact
that systematic plundering Of the
trains had been going on for a year or
more, and that the guilty parties were
all employees of the road. He gave
the names Of about fifty, comprising
conductors, engineers, firemen and
brakemeD, who were implicated.
Manager Laying, assisted by living,
attorney for the company, took imme-
diate measures TO ferret out the guilty
ones, and the result was the arrest on
Wednesday and Thursday Of more
than fifty persons, among whom were
two or three conductors, three engin-
eers and the balance firemen, brake
men and other employees. Marshal
Lemon, assisted by Constable Leech |
accompanied by Squire Grail went to |
Crestline, on Thursday afternoon, and
arrested four men, one of whom was
sent to Canton for trial and the other |
three brought here and lodged In Jail. |
The officers found Ia the house of one |
Of the brakemen, by the name of !
George Smith, at Crestline, q large |
quantity Of stolen goods, consisting Of |
silks, Brussels carpet, silver ware, ci-
gars, dc. There seems to have been |
an organized plan for robbing the cars
all along the line of the road, and men /
were arrested for completely, st Crest
line, where twelve were found at one /
boarding place. Loudonyille, Canton |
and Alliance; the latter place was ap-
parently the center Of operations. Sc
veral of the men arrested had been in
the employ of the Company for twelve
or fifteen years, some as conductors
and engineers. Manager Laying ssti-
mates the loss Of the Company during
the past year at upwards Of 500, 900.
A considerable quantity of stolen
goods has been recovered. The gull
" parties will be prosecuted and pun
shed to the full extent of the law.
One OF the arrested men told Marshal
Lemon that the Company had not got
all yet, and that there were others as
guilty as himself who would 90 to the
No doubt many of the
men commenced their career Of crime

orted to acts which will consign

The wise and great Brinkerhoff, un-
der whose auspices the great mo
Name" party was started last week
Is not concilisting in his re-
marks towards the Republican and
Democratic parties. He says: 1.-THE
old Republican and Democratic par
ties are rotten to the core, and there
is not the slightest ground to hope for
reform from either Of them. Both
are Up to their eyes in the salary steal
one just as much as the other-it is
pot and kettle between them. A
large part of their leading men are
'on the make and the public treas
ury is being pluDdered far beyond alr
precedent"
We are not surprised that the
doughty General, Brinkerhoff, should
thus speak Of the Republicans, as they
never could appreciate his worth to
the extent Of giving him a foreign
mission, but that he should thus talk
- ~~O -TC-ACS<obAS pAAtl A4OLA n4Cn
he expects to get his recruits, is very
singular. and is evidence that he is not
& great leader. In doing so he also
stulti6es himself, for last year he was
arm-in-arm with the men he now de.
nounces, and but few weeks before
the Allen county movement he had
agreed with the Democracy to hold q
joint State convention with them and
continue the partnership this year.
This agreement he squarely repudi-
ated by his SOth of July convention.
These things are nothing for Brink
erhof, and are not in the least aston
lshing, for he is known to be in
dead earnest to turn something up
that viii rebound to his welfare. He
wiz fail this year and perhaps the
mkt, and the next, b1t he viii con-
tll<aaIIy poke in the rubbish with his
staff of self until he finds what he |
seeks-posltion and emolument-or
until his muleheaded days are mum.

TEE BOURBON CONVENTION.

We have but few particulars from
the Democratic State Convention,
held in Columbus yesterday.
Hon. VIM. Allen, Of Ross county,
was nominated for Governor by ac-
clkmation, and Barnabas Burns, OF
Richland county, for Lieutenant Gov
ernor.
1t would appear that the 'sNo
Name" party was utterly ignored,
which win be sore disappointment
to Brinkerhoff, Cunningham and five
or six Others. We viii give full par
ticuIars next week.

The inability of the contractors
to furnish Postal Cards sufficiently
rapid to supply the demand, makes
the following remarks of the Wads-
worth Enterprise on the question Of
allowing people to use such cards as
they might fancy pertinent
"The only points the government
should have insisted upon are, first,
that proper amount of postage shall
be Cancelled; second, that the card
shall not be over n certain size, and
third that its weight shall be properly
limit 1. Every card thus furnished
by the people would have been clear
gain to the government, for they
would have been saved the expense of
manufacture, and the people thevexa
tion of delay in procuring them. Bush
ness men could then have their own
card printed on one side with address,
ana could have the message written
on the other, as is now done. They
could have better paper than that so
FAR furnished in government cards,
and Of such color as would suit their
tastes. 1t would have left more Iiber-
ty with the peopIe-where liberty be-
longs-and showed much more prae-
tical legislation.
