men, named Pierre Langdon aod August Ur-
ban, who were employed 10 the rolling mill of
Messrs. Wilson, Walker 4 Co., in Pittsburg,
the former as clerk n the office and the latter
in the mill getting tired OF the monoony oil life
i'll Pittsburgh determined 10 take trip around
country.
They accordingly held consultation, during
which Langdun stated that there was always
large amount Of money in the safe, and, if ,ley
could get key for It, their greatest hopes u ght
be realized.
Urban who is somewhat of a mechanic, as
the sequel will show SAID he would make one
If Laugdo would get an impression of the keys
10 wax. Laugdou easily obtained the desired
impression, from which Urban, with ingenuity
worthy OF better purpose, made plaster paris
mold, and smearIng i, with butter. ION had
key the exact counterpart OF the one from which
the impression Was taken. Everything was
now IN readiness, and accordingly on the n ght
of the 9th they opened the safe, and we're re
wardcd Tor their trouble by finding in a drawer
5000 10 bank notes. Without waiting to
look for any more, they Immediately started for
Philadelphia, going thence 10 Washington,
Baltimore, aud back to Philadelphia; and after
sporting few days 10 the Quaker City, came
to New Y 0rk and put up al the St. Nicholas

stolen the money and took the matter very
cooly.
