EXPRESS ROBBERY.

sad Case Of DishOnesGy-A River Ex-
press Messenger, from Bowling
Green 10 Evansville, Brought 10
Grief
The f flowing appeared IN tie ECGEsUHle
J0arRGi, Of the 4th inst:
"A short time since the Adams Express
Company found it TO its interest to close
the route up Green river, and John l..
Overmyer, the river route agent, was along
that stream, closing up the business. Upon
reaching South CarrOilton, the agent at
that place called his attention to a number
of envelopes which had been found in the
river, and which bore evidence Of having
contained money. Mr.. Hoffman, the
agent at this city, was advised
Of the matter, and an investiga=
ton was at once instituted, which
led to the conclusion that a system Of rot
berry had been going on for sometime along
the line, and TIE messenger, William Me-
CaddOn, was arrested and charged with the
crime, which he confessed. MIR. Overmyer
arrived here Monday evening, and yeSter-
day Mr. w. II. Waters, general agent of
the company, arrived; McCaddOn in the
meanwhile having remained IN custody.
Yesterday afternoon he was taken to Ken
lucky, in which State the crime was COM
mitted, and where he will be tried. IL is
an unusually sad case Of departure from the
path Of honesty by young man who had
lust entered upon the most important and
Interesting era Of his life, and who had
every incentive TO pursue the paths OF
honesty and integrity-having only few
weeks AGO married beautiful and ex-
cellent young lady. His method Of
operation was so irOitly devised and car
ried on that had the route not been discOn-
tinued his acts might not have been diseQY-
cred Tor months. He commenced w APP
propriating one pacsage Of money, retaining
the address and amount. He would then
take from another package in few days sut-
ficient to make up the deficit, and thus he
proceeded until he had appropriated u, s65,
so far as mas yet been traced up. The
amount may exceed that sum. His pre-
serving the envelopes for a time, and the
final disposition of them led to his detee-
ton, and it is remarkable Illustration OF
the trite saying, "Murder will out" he
took the envelopes, rolled them up in
bundle, tied cord around them, and threw
them in the river. They fiOated down
to South CarrolhOn, where they were
picked up and taken to the express office
and shown to Overmyer on his arrival at
that place. McCaddon is a young man Of
rather progressing appearance, and enjoy
ed the fullest confidence of the companyr
It YES not determined Yesterday whethe,
he will be tried at Henderson, Ggeenevillet
or at Bowling Green. OF the whole amour
missing, only fity-five or isixty-6ve dollars
were recovered"
McCaddon married in Bowling Green
about six weeks ago, ami is well-kuOwn in
this ely. : brother Of his is express agent
at Bowling Green.

Almost a CONFEDERATION.

A man registered at Linck's Hotel last
Wednesday, went to his room and closed
the door. Shortly sfterEard, some ladies
stopping at the house, discovered smoke
coming through the transom over the door.
The alarm was given, and when some of
the servants entered the room,
its occupant was found in standing posi-
tiOn, gasping for breath and entirely help
less. The bed had been ignited, the COW
ering and a part Of the mattress being
burned, and the wall on one side Of the
room was also considerably damaged by
the flames. 1t is not known how the fire
originated.

Yesterday afternoon, on one of the
roads centering in this city, an entire train
engine tender, smoking car and two
coaches, went Ola bridge thrown across
deep raEine, but yet, strange 10 say, no
one was hurt, and tie train came IN on
time, owing probably TO the fact that the
train went on at one end of the bridge and
off at the other, as is the custom OF wen

RUNNING FOOTHES:

In. former days, when coaches did not go
above i've miles an hour, and, roads were nSs
macadamized, footmcn used to run before their
masters. They were considered. indispensable
attendants upon the carriage Of a great man,
and doubtless their services were often in re-
QUESTION. They cleared the. way, paid the
turnpikes, helped to pull the carriage out Of
the ruts, or to support IL on each side> to pre-
vent its being overturned; and theS bore
torches, which, in London, TREY put out ON
their return home by means of the frsD extin-
gHishers attached to the lanp-railiBgs, such as
may yet be seen in front OF tho old houses in
May Fair. The dress OF the running footman
Was often gaudy, and he carried In his hand
long pole, six or seven feet long, With q silver
hold an egg or some wine. The pDle was also
used for leaping bitches ar hard parts Of the
road and great feats in this way are recorded
of some footmen.
The powers of endurance of these men were.
wonderful. 1t is asserted that in a bad road
they could easily keep ahead of a ach-apa-
six, but on level ground the pace of the horses
would be somewhat slacksned ON their count.
1t was not unusual for them to 20 sixt< miles
in the day. A Duke Of Marlborough drove
phseton-an four from London to Winchester
against ono of them, and only jus. beat him:
but the man did not long survive this unnatu,
raj strain upon bis strength. fhe Duke of
0uecnsberry, who died in 1910 was the last to
keep up the custom. A taco of II lingers

WIVES IN INDIA.

A wxiter in the current number of the Ben
gal Nagdziae says that. now some Hindoos feel
quite offended if you do not ask after their
wives when the usual slow do you dos' has
passed, and that to invite them to dinner with
ont. asking their better halves. to come would
he looked upon as in very bad taste. OF course
there are others-and they are no doubt the
majoHty-who would look upon II as an insult
to be asked about their spouses, and to invite
them to bring their wives out 10 dinner would
be equivalent to asking them to eat a beef
steak Or a pork-chop This diversity Of senti-
ment among people is naturally somewhat en-
barrassing for those who have no desire to give
needless offense. but the fact that there should
be any division of opinion as to the prOpriety of
''effacins" women socially is in itself crafty
ing evidence of progress. The writer to whom
We have referred quotes various orthodox au-
thorities to show. that in ancient times women
moved in the best Indian seriety, sitting on the
throne with kings, riding about in palanqtdns
for the people to see, ard asking questions of
the wayfarers, when her natural curiosity
wanted to be satisfied.
Man looked upon all this as coDab,e IL tant,
and ordered that she sheald have the best posi-
ton on the high road anil elsewhere accorded
her, and prescribed the fitting phrases of re-
spect which strangers. should use in Addressing
her. This state of things would no doubt have
lasted forever had not the Mahommedans. con-
quered the country; and even that would not
have interfered with its continuance but for the
too susceptible nature ofthe eonquerors' hearts,
which, when combined with their fierce habits
of self-assertion. made it rather unpleasantfor
an unprotected Hinaoo female to be found ont
of doors. Her natural protectors thereupon,
locked herup-entirely, OF course, for. her OWN
good. That was the origin of the seclusion of
lovely woman among the Hindoas. Religion
had nothing to do with it, and the whole sys-
TEN is sad and expiring relic of the days OF
national humiliation aud individual helpless
