A Fortune in Bricks.
Ten Tons Of Gold Carted to the Door of tn @
 Mint.
From the Philadelphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press
 There was an unwonted hustle about the west basement entrance of the United States mint shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday after noon. One of the Adams Express company's great wagons drawn by pair of magnificent black horses, had just stopped in front, and immediately dozen hands were transferring it's load of flat curious looking boxes, tightly bound with hoop iron, to the gloomy depths of the adjoining basement. There were twenty seven of these mysterious cases in the load. and though they were apparently no bulkier than grocer's box of ralslns, they were laboriously raised on end and slid down an inclined plane to truck, there being ap- parently no ambition to support them with unaided muscle. A few moments brisk work sent the springs of the wagon back to their normal position and, with an evident air of relief the horses speeded 1t away at 8 brisk trot. A second wagon then drew up, then q third and fourth, and the same per- formance was gone through with.
 Beyond the fact that each of the drivers had an armed attendant, though the latter's appearance gave no hint of the small arsenal concealed about him, there was nothing in the procedure to indicate that S5,0O0, 900 of gold bullion was encased in these strange 1ron- bound boxes This is the second install ment," said Superintendent Snowden to a Press reporter, of $30,000O00 of bullion OrQereQ to the Mlnt rom the N6W 1OTA dSSdy office We have something like $17, GOO, 900 on hand now, and this $50, ,OOO, 900, which will come in $5 ,OOO, ,OOO lots, at intervals of 8 week or so, will still leave round $20,000, 900 in New York. The transfer is made to relieve their vaults and to give us bullion sufficient for the large coinage demands now made upon us-averaging about $7,O00, 900 per month."
 As may be imagined, the shipment of this valuable treasure was accomplished with the greatest celerity, and no precaution ensuring it's safety was omitted. From the assay office in New York to the vault of the mint in Philadelphia it was in the custody of the Adams Express company, leaving the former place at II o'clock yesterday morning and ar irving here as stated above. Two cars were used in it's transportation, each in charge of a special messenger armed cap-a-pie, one of whom has for years attended similar govern ment shipments between assay office and mint. Though armed with that complete. ness which the value of their charge would suggest, the messenger has little relish for these trips. In case of the slightest accident the millions of treasure surrounding him on every side are turned into very instruments of death A car of the track would send tumbling down upon him dozen of these two hundred pound boxes of "bricks," and death would be instant as the shock.

I knew his preparations were as harmless as our daily food, and hence took them with confidence. The truth that we are to learn is that there is little or no use for drugs.

Mysterious case-Vyas lAe ENouIiy Dealt
 WIih.
 Nearly four months ago, on Wednesday, December :, James McDonald mechanic employed by the Yale Lock company, Stam- ford, finished his days work and repaired to his boarding place, kept by Mrs. Webber across the street west from the New Haven railroad depot, where he ate supper. There was nothing in his appearance convsrsa- ton to induce a thought that he designed to change his abode or make journey of any kind Indeed, it is recalled that he expressed ill quiet way perfect satisfaction with his position and surroundings, and expected to make Stamford his permanent abiding place. After the meal was over he appeared to be in a happy state of mind, spoke of the days events, took a walk in the village, called at the postotfce, where he received 8 news paper, and after @ saunter with companions around the railway station returned to his room. Lighting cigar, he took from its wrapper the newspaper and sat down to read, continuing thus engaged | till, as Mrs. Webber thinks, about nine | o'clock. Shortly thereafter, without haste or ceremony of any sort, he left the house, talk | | that time has neither been heard of nor seeu. | He had no relatives in Stamford or it's viclnl- | ty, or, if tdere are any, they have yet to be l found, and efforts eXerted since his departure 1 to gain clue to hls whereabouts have proved | fruitless. On applying at the office of the | Lock company, where he has worked for a | long time, 1t was discovered that his wages l for some thirty days, at the rate of $2 per | day, appeared to his credit on the company s books, and that he had drawn nothing from | the concern and had said nothing to his en- ployers about money for considerable per iod.
 1 It further appeared from statements made by those in the factory and in the village who knew Mcdonald that he was 8 man of temperate habits, who inclined to save his money and stood well with his fellows It Is | ascertained also that he owed no debts and was exemplary in all respects. He never had difficulty with his employers, who are pained by his singular absence.
 So far as appears Mcdonald had no motive for absenting himself and certainly no req i son to do so by stealth. The belief gains strength each day that Mcdonald, after leav- ing the house of Mrs. Webber, was foully dealt with Search in the room among hls property failed to bring to light any docu- l ment bearing his name from which to trace the spot where he worked or dwelt previous | to coming here. Friends who have been ID New York city and elsewhere in quest ot | tidings of the missing man have returned l without the least clew.
