charge Of the bank that night, but IN acci-
dent frustrated 1t. The gang resolvedto carry
out their plans after the night watchmah had
left and when the day ~watchman came on.
How we'll it was carried out every one
knows, and nearly sS,000,O00 were carried
away. Kelly stood guard over the manacIed
~janitor. He gave them the combination for
the safe, being in mortal terror Of his life.
The detectives went hard to work, and A.
ter a long search John Dobbs and the young
er Hope was arrested. Watchman Slevin
was Swallowed early and late, and was found
drinking very hard and spending money Law
ishly. He was arrested a few days ago, and
finally confessed the whole plot to Captain
Byrnes, and Kelly was arrested on his rstrlrn
from jerome Park.
Slevin says each member of the gang was
assessed $500 after getting their money share,
which was sent to Washington to defeat the
bill introduced in Congress to duplicate the
stolen bonds, as if it passed, it would be diff
ficult to negotiate the originals. Meanwhile
the various town bonds stolen were negotia-
ted, and Slevin got $1,000 as his share there
from, and Jimmy Hope went to Washington
to have the bill stopped.
Kelly, when arrested, denied his guilt, but
when confronted with Slevin he burst into q
fit of swearing, and said: "The bank had to
pay a dividend on June LIST, and to do it
would have to come to terms and settle with
u.s." There are three more members of the
gang yet at large, but they are known, and
will soon be arrested. The trial Of the
younger Hope began on the 4th.instant.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The whole story of
the Manhattan Savings Bank burglary is at
last out, through the confession of one of the
burglars. Saturday night, Captain Byrnes
and his detectives arrested Henry Clean,
Patrick Schoolin and Vim. Kelly, charged
with being implicated in the robbery, where
by money and securities worth nearly 49,
0 5000 were stolen on the night of the 27th
of October, 1873. One of them has confessed
the whole plot to Captain Byrnes. The rob-
berry was planned more than three years ago.
A burglar known as " Little Tracey first
concocted the scheme, and organized a band
to rob the bank. 1t was broken up, however,
by the arrest and conviction of most of the
he organized a second gang, in which were
Jimmy Hope, George Howard, John Dobbs,
Jim Brady and others. They also had in
league with them a man employed as watch
man at odd hours in the bank. Two attempts
were made by this gang to rob the bank, but
each failed through the inability of the
Waterman to help them. This gang also
broke up, but Hope, convinced of the FEAST
bility of his scheme, r%eorganized his forces.
Dobbs (Big Kid) and others, equally skilled
and desperate, Joined him, and work began
in earnest. On Sunday morning, when the
friendly Waterman was on duty III the bank,
Hope was let into the building, and used his
opportunity to thoroughly examine the
vaults. The next Sunday lie returned and
taught the Waterman how to Use the wax in
taking an impression of the keyhole. The
Waterman, Patrick Slevin, was all apt scholar,
and soon returned the lump which the bur-
glar had brought, with an imp ssion from
which the latter was able to make a key for
the outer street door on Blocker street,
which was found to fit, and was put by for
use. This attempt also failed for want of
time, but an entrance to the vault containing
the safes Was effected. Eight months later
negotiations were again opened with the
Waterman Slevin. Finally the job was put
up for Sunday morning, the 9th of October,
and in 1t were Jimmy Hope, Kelly and
Dobbs, together with the night watchman,
Slevin. 1t was thought Slevin would have

How the Queen Travels Incognito.
London World, May 7.

London World, May7.
Is it not possible that a not unnatural in
clination ON the part of the Queen to guard
against exhibitions of snobbery may be car
ried too far? l am told that when her Maj
esty passed through Portsmouth the other day,
on her return from the Continent, the whole
resources OF the dockyards establishment were
concentrated upon the enterprise of prevent
ing common eyes from gazing even for a mo-
ment upon Her Majesty. Orders, carefully
written out on Large foolscap, reached the
dockyard from the Admiralty, directing that
no person other han the select few Of
fcially engaged should, upon any pretense
whatever, be allowed even to approach the
railway jetty where the Queen would disem-
bark. The miral-Superintendent, improv-
ing upon these instructions, issued directions
to the master-rigger to prevent any of his
men assembling at the windows of the rig
.ging-loft. The keen eye of the Admiral-Sn-
perintendent had also taken note of the adj
vantages supplied by the color loft of permit
ting an undisturbed view Of the top of the
railway carriage in which the Queen would
ride. Strict orders were accordingly issued
to prevent the women in the color loft from
assembling at this highly favored point of
view. That nothing might be wanting to the
completeness of the arrangements similar pre-
cautions were taken in respect of the store
house near the jetty, and of the offices abutt-
ing thereon, a storm-signal having been sent
around in the morning solemnly warning all
men from approaching the windows. This
paragraph, | feel it necessary to state, is not
a joke. 1t is a simple statement of fact.
