Detectives Perplexed.
Neto York Tribune.

Detectives of this city are much per-
picked over the recent actions of the
Boston police regarding a robbery of un-
known magnitude 1t was known to
Superintendent Walling and Inspector
BVrnes several months ago that the
vaults of a safe-deposit company in
Boston had been robbed of bonds, but
the amount of the loss, it, was said, was
not known, even to the company.
There has been a systematic plundering
of the vaults, some servant of the COM
pany being in league with the thieves.
So carefully have the Boston police con-
cealed the information given to them
that the name of the safe deposit institu-
tion has not been divulged, although
the case has been taken into the courts.
Information was given to Inspector
Byrnes in January that $50, 900 in United
States four per cent. bonds and $14, 000
in railroad stocks had been stolen, and
he was asked to arrest the robbers if the
plunder was offered for sale In this city.
Detectives Haley and Adams learned that
Burritt G. Seymour, formerly a member
of the Stock Exchange, had sold to J. S.
Tilney, of No. 2 Nassau street, two
81 900 and two $500 bonds of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company for s., $40, receiving a check
from Mr. Tilney on January Ia.
He got the check cashed at the
Third National Bank. On Janury %.
Seymour had sold six Maple River Rail
roads bonds of 81 900 each to the Park
Bank for $6,026 SO, the bank having
purchased the bonds for J. J. Blair, OF
Bairstown, N. ]. Afterward Seymour
deposited five $500 bonds with F. e.
Throwbridge, at Wall and Broad streets,
and opened an account. He drew out
5000 50, and then Mr. ThroWbridge
asked him to renew his references, Sey-
mOur Indignantly demanded that bis ac-
count be closed. twas ascertained that
the bonds which Seymour had been ne
gotiating had been stolen from the Bos-
ton Safe Deposit Company's vaults, and
search for the man was begun.
In April the police learned that $4,000
in government bonds had been sold in
Philadelphia by man answering Sey-
mour's description. Upon the informa-
ton furnished to the Boston authorities
the man was indicted, and a reuuisition
for his capture was signed by the Gov
ernor of Massachusetts. Seymour was
arrested in this city on Saturday last, and
taken to Boston, where he was held for
trial in $4,000 bail. 1t is said that the
police of this city are engaged at present
in searching for others suspected Of com.
plicity in the Boston robbery, 1t was
said yesterday that a burglar named
Stanley, who was run over and killed By
a street car recently, held the key to the
robbery, and that the detectives were
trying to get evidence among Stanley's
former associates.

BASE BALL.
Chicago versus Providence - Contests
Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, September 14-The following
was the score of the game of base ball to-
day:
Chicago. go.................1 0 0 2 0 2 1-6
Providence. ce.............0 0 0 l 0 %
This having been regarded as the game
very likely to decide the championship, q
crowd of about 5000 people were present.
The game was stubbornly contested, but
the Chicago nine evinced their great supe-
rioritY in every respect. Their base hjts
were 10, with Is total, errors only 8. The
Providence base hits were 2, total s, errors 4,
including two passed balls. The Chicagos'
base running was daring, successful and well
judged The umpire was somewhat in
clined 10 favor the visitors in his decisions.
though as q rule they were very satisfactory.
Goldsmith led at the bat with a single and
two doubles. but heavy batters like
Dalrymple aud Anson went down without a
hit. Radbourn's pitching was fine but not
so effective as Goldsmith's. Four of the
visitors failed to get hit. Harry Wright
came from Cleveland to see the last two
games here and expressed great interest in
the outcome. As matters stand now the
Chicagos are one behind the Providences,
but have two more games to play and
with easier clubs.
II the Chicagos do not lose more games
than the Providences from now on they will
retain the championship. 1t is remarka-
BILE fact that in each of the two series the
Chicagos have scored just thirty-six runs,
and started with run in the first inning.
About $40, 900 were taken in at the gate dur
ing the series.
