SAN DIEGO. June 29.-There are no
new developments in the custom house
robbery case. The man Williams, who
was arrested on suspicion, In default OF
bail, was committed and his case contin-
ued until Thursday. There are many
theories as to the whereabouts OF the
robbers, the most plausible of which is
that they have escaped with the money
into Lower California, and it is believed
the guarding of Collector McCormick by
two of the party all night was to give the
third one chance to escape with the
booty before the alarm could be given.
MADRID, June 29.-Dispatches received

OK Sunday morning the stage was
again stopped with seven passengers on
board. This time about two miles from
Station No. 2, and nearly opposite Min
eral Hill. The robbers were evidently
the same who had interviewed Wilkin-
son the previous trip. and now made a
similar demand on George Nelson, who
had the lines ON this occasion. The
small man stationed himself at the
horses heads, while his companion di-
rected operations. He first asked Mel.
son to "hand down the box" and the
one destined for Mineral Hill was passed
over the guard. The agent shook it, and
not being satisfied requested another,
and tue Eureka box showed a similar
fate. This, too. was light, SO the tall
man jumped up on the boot to investi-
gate further, but was not rewarded for
his trouble. They then opened the two
boxes by means of q Ratchet, but finding
but little coin, which they took, and no
valuables; they returned them to the
driver and told him to move on without
disturbing the passengers, one of whom
had several thousand dollars in valise.
The amount taken in both robberies was
but small sum, and hardly paid for the
risk taken by the land pirates. who
showed that they were green in the bust.
ness. S. d. Barstow, Assistant Super
intendent of Wells. Fargo & Co., yester.
day telegraphed to d. B. Immel, the
agent here, TO offer q reward of 5000.
Three hundred each for the arrest and
conviction of the robbers, and placards
of the rewards offered have been issued
and circulated throughout the country.
1t is thought that the robbers may be
apprehended in a short time, and officers
are now securing the hills in the hope of
falling in with them and effecting their
arrest Eureka Sentinel.

New YORK, June 29.--John Kelly,
Chairman of Tammany Hall, has for
warded communication to Mayor
Havemeyer in reply to letter OF the
convicted Police Commissioners, Gar
diner and Charlick, rendering their res
ignations. He characterizes the letter
as an ingenious tissue of special plead
ing, suggestive of misstatements and
bold falsehoods, and accuses Charlick as
having associated himself with Henry
Smith and Gardiner to crafty his politi-
cal aspirations, finding the Democratic
party was not disposed to crafty them
and that the three men formed ring
and excluded their fellow men, who were
upright and conscientious men. He
states that the election law of 1872 was
most carefully framed by the Republi-
cans to protect the purity of the ballot

THE LATEST LITERARY HOAX.
St. Louis Republican.

About the cleaverest literary trick of late
days was recently perpetrated by Sir Charles
Dixie, the noted Radical member of the
British parliament. The Conservative
uress have been for long time in the
habit of stigmatizing Sir Charles as stupid
and dleary, until at Length he. set himself
to work to refute these unkindly aspersions
upon his intellectual capacity in a most
singular manner. These comments have
been so ill-tempered and uncalled for that
it is pleasing to note how refreshingly sue
cessful was the outcome Of his effort at re-
futation. Having just returned from Mon-
AGO he caused to be published in his
own paper, the Athen9tun, live
ly little satire entitled "The Fall
of Prince FlOrestan of Monaco. BY
Himself" 1t was Immediately recognized
rs All attack upon the well-knOwn repub-
lican member of Chelsea, and being an an
nOnymous production the critics were all
alive to discover the author, various prom
inent politicians and writers being suspect
ed. The style of Matthew Arnold had been
so closely and cunningly copied, however,
that the literati and public generally were
soon unanimous in ascribing the author
ship to that individual. 1t is even said
that the communication was altogether so
creditable that neither Mr.. ArnOlds
friends nor himself made any effort to repu-
diate the credit givin him. Meanwhile Sir
Charles luxuriated in the bower Of
compliments to his literary talents which
we've unknowingly poured upon him
from sources least likely of all to
have willingly sent honors to him. To
conceal his identity all the more perfectly,
this prince of deceivers, besides belaboring
himself with hearty god will, had piled
the cudgels most bravely above the heads
of his best friends, and finally to cap the
climax of this surprising hoax, he got up
an Indignation meeting in the form Of a
dinner, whereat he set himself up to re
ceive the condolences of some dozen pro-
fessional critics, whom he had invited for
the occasion. Mellowed by his wine, these
! gentlemen were loud in their expressions
of sympathy for the host, under whose
walnut they stretched their legs. The
severe denunciations which they heaped
upon the impudent scribbler who had dared
| to visit Sir Charles with such a terrible
drubbing made them most heartily appre-
| ciate the disclosure which followed some
| few days thereafter, that this genial gentle
man was himself the guilty party.
