made for their relief and rescue, they will
not forget in their gratitude the girls of the

On the night OF the Sth INST, two
gentlemen named Phelps aad Andrews,
bailing from Brooklin, New York, took
passage in a sleeping car attached to
the Pacific express traiu westward bound
which leavs :" est Philadelphia depot
at IL, i.5 z. a., and on the night in
question was conducted by MIR. I.
Sprole Leisenring. In an adjoining
berth two other men took passage with
tickets for Pittsburgh, and it was ob
served that when the latter retired for
the night they piled in to the berth with
hut disrobiug, hot even divesting their
pedal eItreu ties of their boots.
When the train reached Spruce Creek,
yesterday morning the two gentlemen
from Brooklyn awoke from their slum-
bers and short time subsequent DIS
covered that both their pocket books
the two containing the sum of about
two hundred and fifty dollsrs-had
been stolen some time during the night.
They immediately notified the con-
ductor of their loss, adding that it was
their opinion that the theft had been
committed somewhere between Lewis
towr and Spruce Creek. The conduc-
tor proceeded without delay to inter-
rogste the sleeping car conductor in
the premises. The latter promptly
stated that berth adjoining the one
which was occupied by tue gentlemen
from Brooklyn and occupied by two men
who held tickets for Plttsburg, was then
vacant, AID he supposed that they had
left the train at Huntington.
Without delay the circumstances
connected with the affair were tele-
graphea to Samuel A. Black, Esq, Su.
perintendent Of the Middle Division oi
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
who detailed Depot Policeman Roat tc
work up the affair. The two men sus-
pected of committing the theft and who
surreptitiously left the Pacific expires:
