Mr., Henry SeamOn has o theory in regRrC
to the whereabouts OF the wharf boat safe
which wss stolen some few nights ago. II,
thinks that the thieves carried the sale irOn
the bottom OF the steps In the boat to thl
door, and there endeavored 10 yet 1t into thu
skiH. Asthere ara no marks oil roLe beinI
used aud as the safe weighed nearly six hun
bred pounds he thinks that It ISL heavily
into the skill and scuttled it, and that tn
safe is probably In the river now alongside o
the wharf boat. The LaBelle pilot saw 81
empty skill floating down The river that night
and which confirms Mr.. seamOn's views,
The Carrier will leave Pittsburgh for 81
Louis on Tuesday next and will psss here Of
Wednesday.
