Burglary aud RELIGION.

We have had two or three items OF news
relative TO that most extraordinary Incl
dent, the safe-burglary conspiracy, and
those concerned in it. The first item refer ;
TO the investigation of the affair which is
TO be undertaken by the judiciary Com
mittee OF the House of Representatives,
and through which the bottom facts are
likely TO be reached.
The other item is that RICHARD HAIR
HrNGrOS of the snfe-hurClary Ring, and
Detective NEIrLEsuIP, who also PLAYED
his part in il, have, as they say out West,
"got religion" The report about HAIR.

Trining with Human Life.

The alarming frequency Of accidents on
railroacs should arouse managers OF such
lines to immediate action, and cause them
to take energetic measures to prevent
further disasters. 1t IS well known to
practical men that most Of tho railroads of
the country are in dilapidated condition.
Not only are the engines and ears in bad
order, but the road beds themselves are IN
great need of thorough aud systematic re-
newal.
During the depression in general bust
ness their traffic fell off to very great ex
tent, and railroad superntendents cut
down all their expenses proportionatolv.
They bought no supplies except such rs IL
was impossible to run the roads without
they discharged every employee and track
hand they could possibly spare; and items
of expense, which in better fines were
deemed indispensable TO safe management,
were rclcntlossly stricken out. As n con-
sequence the natural life Of the material
in use was prolonged to the utmost; bridges
IN need OF repair were either cohblrd mp
somehow, or wholly neglected; rails were
used that were unfit for service; the tracks
fen out of alignment for want of section
hands to rea just them; and the terrible
results of all this criminal neeleruce-for
it is nothing else-arc s,,n 10y obscrvant
travellers ana all readers OF the Ga ly
newspapers.

nothing of woundu2 many others serious

within a distance Of five miles, no less than
twenty-thrce cars strown along tie line,
all smashed to pieces by being thrown
from the track ana it is but n few days
since passenger train on the Harlem Ex-
tension Railway was thrown down an em-
bankmeut, when it caught fire. and two
persons lost their lives thereby. The acct
dent has since required, but with no tragic
features, owing To no foresight of the COM
panies however. How many more of these
disasters are to happen only the railway
superintendent can conjecture, ms they
are best aware OF the tremendous risks to
which they are subjec,ing passengers. But
beyond these officials there are the Presi-
dents and Boards of Directors who dclib-
oratey court disaster by running trains
over bridges which have time and again
been reported unsafe.
1t IL almost too much to hope that any
beneficial result will arise from this warm
ing, but the truth Of ii Will be acknowl-
edged by all concerned. The answer will
probably be that ut some future time the

The London Times comes to the conclu-
sion, after discussing the corIuptions OF Grant
ism lately exposed, that "a nice sense Of honor
and propreiy does not prevail in the official
world Of the United States" True enough, so
far a. Grsntism controls our Official world; hut
that Is not normal development of American
political life; II is disease, taken during the
period OF moral exhaustion following the civil
war, and now we are driving 1t from the official
body. 1t Is because the people have anice sense
Of the honor and propriety which should pre-
vail In their high Offices that they So scorn and

when corruption ia spreading in country. the
clergy have special duties imposed upon them
which they cannot shrk without treason to
their religion. They are bound to struggle with
all their might for public publication, and To
bring out all their resources In the battle against
dcvitfy. The true exam. lie FOR them is to be
found In the Hebrew prophets Of old times
When lsrae fell Into evil ways and Jerusalem
became polluted, when the rulers were false to
their trust and INDUCED In bribery and fraud,
these prophets raised their voices in donuncil-
tion and warning, sometimes with such force
and eject as to bring about repentance aud
reformation. II was not theirs t. apologize for
the guilty. or to indulge Ia social plea-antri's
with them, or to conceal from sight TIE pena'-
ties that were Inevitable. They were too aus;cr,
and stern to trinc with evil, these prophets,
JEREMIAH. ISAIAH. EZEKIEL, and tho Others.
1t Is in the footsteps OF such men, we say. that
the clergy Il this time should try to walk, as
sailing the evils Of the day In prophetic tones,
and calling upon the people to beware Of i'm
pending dangers. When better times come. they
can preach sermons full Of sofi scntimcnialism I;
they can crlticse each others theolo. ica errors
they can deliver high-=tylc dispositions in favor
az their several creeds. and they can toll over
those impenetrablc mysteries by which so many
Of them are fascinated. but, Il this alarming
crisis Of wickeducss there Is heavier aud severer
woik for them to do, aud work more practical
In its nature.

Uts EMPLOYERS Money.


Saturday. between the hours Of u ana
y o'clock. the residence of Mr.. Glen
non. corner Of Tchoupitoulas ana heil-
pious streets, was robbed or $2i'o III
Currency. Mrs. Glennon, on going, 10
her sleeping apartment, found that her
armoir. which she had locked III the
morning before leaving the house. had
been prized open, and every cent which
she possessed had been taken.
The case was Immediately reported 10
Captain Slabowski, who visited the
scene Of the robbery and found that
the drawer OF the armolr had been
forced open by an ice pick when was
used in the barroom, and this evidence
pointed out Pat Manning, the bar
keeper. as the perpetrator of tho deed;
Another circumstance which connected
Manning with the robbery was that he,
together with John Maher, Edward
RYDER and William McCaffrey, left the
barroom together about one hour be-
fore the theft was discovered.
Mrs Glennon states that the money
was wrapped up in brown paper ana
some Of the large bills had been folded
in o peculiar manner and could be easily
identified. Sergeant Slabowskl sue
ceedcd in capturing Manning, VINO, Wniie
being conveyed to the station, stated
that he was not the possessor Of o single
cent But when searched. however. i've
of the bills were found on bis person ana
folded in the manner stated by
Mrs. Glennon. it is thus evident that
Manning is the thief. McCaffreyi
Maher and Ryder were overhauled
shortly afterwards and locked up
charged with being accessories. Inc
victimized party yesterday appeared
before Judge Evans and swore out an
affidavit charging Pat Manning with
the grand larceny, and the other parties
as accessories.
